                of its subsidiaries;

        2.      Do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the

                attorney-in-fact deems appropriate; and

        3.      Take any other action in connection with the foregoing that, in
                the opinion of the attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in
                the best interest of or legally required of the undersigned, it
                being understood that the documents executed by the

The undersigned hereby grants to the attorney-in-fact full power and authority
to do and perform all and every act requisite, necessary or proper to be done in

acknowledging, delivering or filing a Form 3, Form 4, Form 5, Form 144, Schedule
13D or Schedule 13G (including amendments thereto) and agrees to reimburse Spark

undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by Spark Energy,
