        (4) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing

              The undersigned hereby revokes any power of attorney previously granted to any
others not listed above for this purpose. The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-
in-fact full power and authority to do and perform any and every act whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein granted,

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 virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.
The 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 responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

              This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the undersigned is
no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 or 5 with respect to the undersigned's holdings of and
transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in
a signed writing delivered to the Company and the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 23rd day of May 2019.
