DURABLE GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY
I, Lorraine Mae Pruitt, of 2217 Larkmoor Lane NW, Cleveland, Bradley County, Tennessee,
born February 11, 1945, appoint my son Walter Eugene Pruitt Jr., of 5309 Tolliver Bend
Road, Chattanooga, Tennessee, as my attorney-in-fact (my "Agent").

If Walter Eugene Pruitt Jr. is unable or unwilling to serve, I appoint my son Russell Dean
Pruitt, of Boise, Idaho, as successor Agent.

1. Effective date and durability
This power of attorney is effective immediately when I sign it. It shall not be affected by my
later disability or incapacity, or by the passage of time.

2. General powers
My Agent may do for me anything I could do myself concerning my property and affairs,
including:

1. Banking: deposit, withdraw, write checks, open and close accounts, and deal with
certificates of deposit and retirement accounts in my name.
2. Bills and taxes: pay my debts and expenses, and sign and file my tax returns.
3. Benefits and insurance: deal with Social Security, Medicare, my pension, and any health,
long-term-care, life, homeowners or automobile insurance, including filing claims and
receiving payments.
4. Vehicles: transfer, title, register, insure or sell any motor vehicle in which I have an interest.
5. Professional help: employ and pay caregivers, attorneys, accountants and others for my
benefit.

3. My residence
My Agent may maintain, repair and insure my residence at 2217 Larkmoor Lane NW. My
Agent may sell, mortgage or lease my residence only after a licensed physician has stated
in writing that I am not expected to be able to return to live there. A sale also
requires written notice to my successor Agent at least thirty (30) days before closing.

4. Gifts
My Agent may make gifts on my behalf only to my descendants, not more than $2,500 to any
one person in a calendar year, and only if my own care is fully provided for. My Agent may not
make a gift to himself unless a gift of the same amount is made at the same time to my other
son.

5. Expenses, compensation and accounting
My Agent shall serve without compensation. My Agent shall be reimbursed for reasonable
expenses actually paid for me, and shall keep receipts. On request, my Agent shall give an
accounting to my successor Agent, not more often than once in a calendar year.

6. Conservator
If a court is ever asked to appoint a conservator for me, I nominate my Agent.
