affecting any business or property which I may now or in the future have with
the same force and effect and to all intents and purposes as though I were
personally present and acting for myself; and
26) To employ attorneys, investment counsel, accountants, and other
persons to render services for and to me or my estate and to pay the fees and
compensation of such persons for their services.
27) The exercise of the foregoing powers with respect to real
property transactions shall include all real property owned by me regardless
of its location. My Attorney In Fact shall have the additional power to attach
the legal description of any real property owned by me in this Power of
Attorney as necessary to effectuate the exercise of any powers described herein.
2. Powers Withheld. It is my intention by the granting of the foregoing
powers to give my Attorney In Fact the broadest possible powers to represent my
interests in all aspects of any transactions or dealings involving me or my
property. The only powers which my Attorney In Fact shall not exercise with
respect to me and my property are as follows:
1) To use my assets to satisfy any legal obligations of my
Attorney In Fact, including but not limited to the support of any dependents of
my Attorney In Fact; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such dependents shall not include
myself or those persons whom I am otherwise legally obligated to support; or
2) To revoke or amend this Power.
3. Enabling Clause. Subject only to the limitations and prohibitions set
forth in the preceding paragraph, I give and grant unto my said Attorney In
Fact full power
4
<PAGE> 37
and authority to do and perform every act and thing whatsoever necessary,
proper or convenient to be done in the premises as fully to all intents and
purposes as I might or could do for myself. I hereby ratify and confirm all
that my said Attorney in Fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
of this Power and hold harmless any person or entity who suffers loss or
liability from reliance upon this Power of Attorney.
4. Separate Durable Power; Definition of "Incompetent". I have
previously created a Durable Power of Attorney for asset management dated
January 6, 1997 appointing James B. Linn as may Attorney In Fact (the "Durable
Power"), which Durable Power becomes effective only on my incapacity. It is my
intent that this Power shall terminate upon the effectiveness of the Durable
Power. This power shall become ineffective immediately upon notice to the
Attorney In Fact of the effectiveness of the Durable Power. Third parties may
rely on the authority of the Attorney In Fact without evidence of my capacity
unless such third party has actual knowledge of my incapacity.
5. Revocation. I retain the right to revoke or amend this Power of
Attorney and to substitute other attorneys in place of the Attorney In Fact
appointed herein. Amendments to this Power of Attorney shall be made in writing
by me personally (not by my Attorney In Fact) and they shall be attached to the
original of this Power of Attorney. Third parties may rely on the authority of
the Attorney In Fact unless such third party has actual knowledge that this
Power has been revoked by me or has been terminated pursuant to paragraph 4 of
this Power, without investigation of whether I have taken any action to revoke
this Power.
6. Action Binding On Successors In Interest. All actions of my Attorney
In Fact confirmed and ratified under this paragraph shall bind me and my heirs,
distributees, legal representatives, successors and assigns. For the purpose of
inducing any bank, broker, custodian, insurer, lender, transfer agent, or other
party to act in accordance with the powers granted by this Power of Attorney, I
hereby represent, warrant and agree that if this Power of Attorney is
terminated or amended for any reason, I and my heirs, distributees, legal
representatives, successors and assigns will hold such party or parties
harmless from any loss suffered or liability incurred by such party or parties
in acting in accordance with this Power of Attorney prior to that party's
receipt of written notice of any such termination or amendment.
7. Reliance By Third Parties. The powers conferred on my Attorney In
Fact by this Power may be exercised by my Attorney In Fact alone and the
signature of my Attorney In Fact or acts under authority granted in this Power
may be accepted by third parties as fully authorized by me and with the same
force and effect as if I were personally present, competent and acting on my
own behalf. No person who acts in reliance upon any representation my Attorney
In Fact may make as to the scope of his or her authority granted under this
Power shall incur any liability to me, my estate, my heirs, successors or
assigns for permitting my Attorney In Fact to exercise such power, nor shall
any person who deals with my Attorney In Fact be responsible to determine or to
insure the proper application of funds or property under this Power. All third
parties from whom my Attorney In Fact may request information regarding my
personal, business or financial affairs are hereby authorized and directed to
provide such
5
<PAGE> 38
information to my Attorney In Fact without limitation and are hereby released
from any legal liability whatsoever to me, my estate, my heirs, successors or
assigns for complying with the request of my Attorney In Fact. I give my
Attorney In Fact the right to seek appropriate court orders mandating a third
party to honor this Power of Attorney and to perform in accordance with my
Attorney In Fact's instructions thereunder if such third party has refused to
comply with actions taken or instructions given by my Attorney In Fact which
were authorized by this Power of Attorney or enjoining acts taken by a third
party which my Attorney In Fact has not authorized. Furthermore, my Attorney In
Fact has the right to sue a third party who fails to comply with actions I have
authorized my Attorney In Fact to take and to demand damages, including
punitive damages, on my behalf for such noncompliance.
My Attorney In Fact shall not be liable to me or any of my successors in
interest for any action taken in good faith, but shall be liable for any
willful or wanton misconduct, recklessness or gross negligence.
8. Compensation. My Attorney In Fact has been fully compensated for the
time and attention given by my Attorney In Fact to my affairs under the terms
of a separate written instrument, and my Attorney In Fact has waived any
independent right to additional compensation under this Power.
9. Miscellaneous. Is any of the provisions of this Power is invalid for
any reason, such invalidity shall not affect any of the other provisions of
this Power, and all invalid provisions shall be wholly disregarded.
Except where the context otherwise requires, the singular includes the
plural and the plural includes singular.
All questions pertaining to validity, interpretation and administration of this
Power shall be determined in accordance with the laws of California.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand February 22, 1999.
