*If more than one agent is designated and the principal wishes each agent alone to be able
to exercise the power conferred, insert in this blank the word 'severally'. Failure to make
any insertion or the insertion of the word 'jointly' shall require the agents to act jointly.

personally present, with respect to health care decisions as defined in the Connecticut
Statutory Short Form Power of Attorney Act to the extent that I am permitted by law to
act through an agent:
SECOND, With full and unqualified authority to delegate any all of the foregoing
powers to any person or persons whom my attorney(s)-in-fact shall select.
THIRD, Hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney(s) or substitute(s) do
or cause to be done.
FOURTH, This Power of Attorney shall not be affected by my subsequent
disability or incompetence of the principal herein named.
FIFTH, I hereby agree that any third party receiving a copy or facsimile of this
executed instrument may act in reliance thereon and that revocation or termination of this
power of attorney shall be ineffective as to such third party unless and until actual notice
or knowledge thereof shall have been received by such third party, and I, for myself and
my heirs, assigns and legal representatives, hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless
any such third party from and against any and all claims that may arise against such third
party by reason of reliance on such copy of this instrument.
