POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR SECTION 16 REPORTING OBLIGATIONS
The undersigned, being subject to the reporting

as the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact
and agent, each with the power and in the undersigned's
name, place and stead, to:
(i) prepare, execute and file, with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), any
United States stock exchange or any other authority,
for and on behalf of the undersigned, in connection
with transactions in the Corporation's securities,
any and all forms, reports or documents (including
exhibits and amendments thereto), required to be made
pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Act or the related
rules of the SEC;
(ii) do and perform any and all acts for and on
behalf of the undersigned which may be necessary or
desirable for the preparation and timely filing of
any such forms, reports or documents with the SEC,
any United States stock exchange, and any other
authority (including without limitation requesting
EDGAR access codes from the SEC); and
(iii) 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

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-
in-fact, full power and authority to do and perform
any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,

ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-
fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or
substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue of this POA and the rights and powers herein
