capacity as a security holder of the Company selling securities of the Company
in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, a Form 144;



do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the Reporting Person that
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4, 5 or
144 and timely file such form with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), and any stock exchange or similar authority; and



take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing
which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, and in the
best interest of, or legally required by, the Reporting Person, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such items and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.



The Reporting Person hereby ratifies and confirms any and all of the actions
described above that have been taken by any of the named attorneys-in-fact prior
to the date hereof.



The Reporting Person hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the Reporting Person
might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or
revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or
such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by the virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted. The Reporting Person acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact,
in serving in such capacity at the request of the Reporting Person, are not
assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the Reporting Person's
responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 or Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.



This Power of Attorney shall be effective as of the date the Reporting Person
becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 Act with respect to holdings of and transactions in the
securities of the Company, and shall remain in full force and effect until the
Reporting Person is no longer, required to file Forms 3, 4, 5 or 144 with
respect to the Reporting Person's holdings of and transactions in securities
issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by the Reporting Person in a
signed writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.



I agree that the use of an electronic signature constitutes the legal equivalent
of my manual signature for purposes of authenticating the signature to any SEC
or EDGAR filing for which it is provided.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Reporting Person has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed this 5th day of January 2022.
