    The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact, acting singly,
full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever

undersigned acknowledges
that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request
of the undersigned,
are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's

Company.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed
as of January 2, 2020.
