§ 5-1513. Statutory short form power of attorney. The use of the
following form, or one which substantially conforms to the following
form, in the creation of a power of attorney is lawful, and, when used,
and executed in accordance with subdivision one of section 5-1501B of
this title, it shall be construed as a statutory short form power of
attorney in accordance with the provisions of this title; provided
however, that any section indicated as "Optional" which is not used may
be omitted and replaced by the words "Intentionally Omitted":

"POWER OF ATTORNEY NEW YORK STATUTORY SHORT FORM

(a) CAUTION TO THE PRINCIPAL: Your Power of Attorney is an important
document. As the "principal," you give the person whom you choose (your
"agent") authority to spend your money and sell or dispose of your
property during your lifetime without telling you. You do not lose your
authority to act even though you have given your agent similar
authority.

When your agent exercises this authority, he or she must act according
to any instructions you have provided or, where there are no specific
instructions, in your best interest. "Important Information for the
Agent" at the end of this document describes your agent's
responsibilities.

Your agent can act on your behalf only after signing the Power of
Attorney before a notary public.

You can request information from your agent at any time. If you are
revoking a prior Power of Attorney, you should provide written notice of
the revocation to your prior agent(s) and to any third parties who may
have acted upon it, including the financial institutions where your
accounts are located.

You can revoke or terminate your Power of Attorney at any time for any
reason as long as you are of sound mind. If you are no longer of sound
mind, a court can remove an agent for acting improperly.

Your agent cannot make health care decisions for you. You may execute
a "Health Care Proxy" to do this.

The law governing Powers of Attorney is contained in the New York
General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. This law is available at a
law library, or online through the New York State Senate or Assembly
websites, www.nysenate.gov or www.nyassembly.gov.

If there is anything about this document that you do not understand,
you should ask a lawyer of your own choosing to explain it to you.

(o) IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE AGENT:

When you accept the authority granted under this Power of Attorney, a
special legal relationship is created between you and the principal.
This relationship imposes on you legal responsibilities that continue
until you resign or the Power of Attorney is terminated or revoked. You
must:

(1) act according to any instructions from the principal, or, where
there are no instructions, in the principal's best interest;

(2) avoid conflicts that would impair your ability to act in the
principal's best interest;

(3) keep the principal's property separate and distinct from any
assets you own or control, unless otherwise permitted by law;

(4) keep a record of all transactions conducted for the principal or
keep all receipts of payments and transactions conducted for the
principal; and

(5) disclose your identity as an agent whenever you act for the
principal by writing or printing the principal's name and signing your
own name as "agent" in either of the following manners: (Principal's
Name) by (Your Signature) as Agent, or (your signature) as Agent for
(Principal's Name).

You may not use the principal's assets to benefit yourself or anyone
else or make gifts to yourself or anyone else unless the principal has
specifically granted you that authority in the modifications section of
this document or a Non-Statutory Power of Attorney. If you have that
authority, you must act according to any instructions of the principal
or, where there are no such instructions, in the principal's best
interest. You may resign by giving written notice to the principal and
to any co-agent, successor agent, monitor if one has been named in this
document, or the principal's guardian if one has been appointed. If
there is anything about this document or your responsibilities that you
do not understand, you should seek legal advice.

Liability of agent:

The meaning of the authority given to you is defined in New York's
General Obligations Law, Article 5, Title 15. If it is found that you

violation.
