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 CEM, EMO,
CTR, CBA, SCD, RIT and any closed-end management investment company advised by
ClearBridge Investments, LLC ("Clearbridge") (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 7th day of
September, 2015.
