What is a Power Of Attorney Agreement?

A power of attorney agreement is a legal document that allows one person to make decisions for another. This can be done in general or specific cases, and there are two types: limited and durable. The former only covers the scope given within the contract, while the latter has no expiration date.

When making business deals, many different contracts need to be signed before anything gets started. For example, a power of attorney agreement can give a party a great deal of power over another, so it’s important to consider the needs of this contract.

  §

  1)  
To execute and file for and on behalf of me, in my capacity as one or more of an officer, director, or significant stockholder of Hicks Acquisition Company II, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), reports or other filings under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder, including without limitation, Forms 3, 4 and 5, including any amendments, corrections, supplements or other changes thereto;

  2)  
To do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of me which you (in your sole discretion) determine may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such reports or other filings and timely file same with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

  3)  
To take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing which, in the sole opinion of such Attorney-in-Fact, may be of benefit to, in the interest of, or legally required by me, it being understood that the documents executed by such Attorney-in-Fact on behalf of me 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.
