              exchange or similar authority; and

          3   take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with
              the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may
              be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required by,

      The undersigned hereby grants to such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
