Delaware corporation ("SPG") and SPG Realty Consultants, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("SRC")and affirm that such Schedule 13G and any attachments thereto
are being filed on behalf of each of the Reporting Persons.

         The Reporting Persons constitute and appoint each of Arthur D.
Wolfcale, Esq. and Lynn E. Davenport acting jointly or separately, as the
undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

         (1)      execute for and on behalf of the Reporting Persons, in the
                  Reporting Persons' capacity as holder of the securities of SPG
                  and SRC, any Schedule 13G or any amendments thereto;

         (2)      do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
                  Reporting Persons which may be necessary or desirable to
                  complete and execute any such Schedule 13G or any amendments
                  thereto, and timely file such form with the SEC 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 Reporting Persons, it being
                  understood that the documents executed by such
                  attorney-in-fact on behalf of the Reporting Persons 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 Reporting Persons grant to such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever necessary,
appropriate or convenient to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and
powers granted in this Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
Reporting Persons might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, 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 Agreement and the rights and
powers granted in this Agreement. The Reporting Persons acknowledge that the
foregoing attorney-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the
Reporting Persons, is not assuming any of the Reporting Persons'
responsibilities to comply with Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.

         This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the
Reporting Persons are no longer required to file any Schedule 13G with respect
to the Reporting Persons' holdings of and transactions in securities issued by
SPG and SRC, unless earlier revoked by the Reporting Persons in a signed writing
delivered to the foregoing attorney-in-fact.




         This Agreement may be executed in counterparts each of which shall be
deemed an original but all of which together constitute one and the same
instrument.

         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties to this  Agreement have executed this
Agreement as of the date first written above.
