KNOW ALL PEOPLE BY THESE PRESENTS, that each person whose signature appears
below hereby makes, constitutes and appoints each of Robert Frenkel, Thomas
Mandia, R. Jay Gerken, Richard Wachterman, John Redding, Mitchell O'Brien and
George Hoyt, as a true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of the undersigned
with full power of substitution and resubstitution, for and in the name, place
and stead of the undersigned (both in the undersigned's individual capacity, as
a member of any limited liability company, as a partner of any partnership or as
an officer of any corporation for which the undersigned are otherwise authorized
to sign), to execute, deliver and file such forms, with all exhibits thereto, as
may be required to be filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to: (i) Sections 13(d) and 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, as applicable, including without limitation, Schedule
13D, Schedule 13G, statements on Form 3, Form 4 and Form 5 relating to SCD, ESD,
EMD, GDO, EHI, GDF, HIF, HIX, HIO, HYI, IMF, SBI, IGI, MHY, MMU, DMO, MTT, MHF,

Asset Management Company (each a "Fund", collectively the "Funds") and (ii) in
connection with any application for EDGAR access codes, including without
limitation the Form ID, related thereto, granting unto said attorneys-in-fact
and agents, and each of them, acting separately, full power and authority to do
and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in
connection therewith, as fully to all intents and purposes as he or she might or
could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said
attorneys-in-fact and agents, or any of them, or their or his substitute or
substitutes, may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each of the
lawful attorneys-in-fact and agents named herein may act separately.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Power of Attorney shall
not in any manner revoke, in whole or in part, any Power of Attorney previously
executed. This Power of Attorney shall not be revoked by any subsequent Power of
Attorney executed in the future, unless such subsequent Power of Attorney
specifically refers to this Power of Attorney, or specifically states that the
instrument is intended to revoke this Power of Attorney, all prior general
Powers of Attorney or all prior Powers of Attorney.

This Power of Attorney may be revoked by written instrument executed the
principal and duly acknowledged. Whenever two or more Powers of Attorney are
valid at the same time, the agents appointed on each shall act separately,
unless otherwise specified in the documents. Any provision of this Power of
Attorney held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of the Power of
Attorney and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provisions so held to
the invalid or unenforceable.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this instrument as of the 22nd day of June,
2012.
