            the United States  Securities and Exchange  Commission and any stock
            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, it being understood that the documents executed by such
            attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power
            of Attorney  shall be in such form and shall  contain such terms and
            conditions   as   such   attorney-in-fact   may   approve   in  such
            attorney-in-fact's discretion.

        The  undersigned  hereby  grants  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
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally  present,  with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do
or cause to be done by virtue  of this  power of  attorney  and the  rights  and
powers  herein  granted.   The  undersigned   acknowledges  that  the  foregoing
attorney-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned,
is not  assuming,  nor  is  the  Company  assuming,  any  of  the  undersigned's
responsibilities  to comply with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 or Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.

        This Power of Attorney  shall  remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer a director of the Company unless earlier revoked by the
undersigned  in a signed writing  delivered to the foregoing  attorneys-in-fact;
provided,  however,  this Power of  Attorney  will expire  immediately  upon the
termination of employment or consulting  arrangement of any  attorney-in-fact as
to   that   attorney-in-fact   only,   but  not  as  to  any   other   appointed
attorney-in-fact hereunder.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 10th day of September, 2008.

                                        /s/ James D. Bennett
