The undersigned 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 undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby
