    (1)  this Power of Attorney authorizes, but does not require, such

         such attorney-in-fact without independent verification of such

         attorneys-in-fact, in his or her discretion, deems necessary or
         desirable;

    (3)  this Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from
         responsibility for compliance with the undersigned's obligations under
         the Exchange Act, including without limitation the reporting
         requirements under Section 16 of the Exchange Act; and

    (4)  neither the Company nor such attorneys-in-fact assumes any liability
         for the undersigned's responsibility or failure to comply with the
         requirements of the Exchange Act, including without limitation for
         profit disgorgement under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

The undersigned hereby ratifies all that such attorneys-in-fact, for and on
behalf of the undersigned, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of
this Power of Attorney.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to the

unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.



      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 31st day of July, 2018.
