                              POWER OF ATTORNEY

KNOW ALL PEOPLE BY THESE PRESENTS, that each person whose signature appears
below hereby makes, constitutes and appoints each of Jane E. Trust, Robert
Frenkel, Thomas Mandia, John Redding, Mitchell O'Brien and George Hoyt, as a
true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of the undersigned with full power of
substitution and resubstitution, for and in the name, place and stead of the
undersigned (both in the undersigned's individual capacity, as a member of any
limited liability company, as a partner of any partnership or as an officer of
any corporation for which the undersigned are otherwise authorized to sign), to
execute, deliver and file such forms, with all exhibits thereto, (i) as may be
required to be filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to: Sections 13(d) and 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, as applicable, including without limitation, Schedule 13D, Schedule
13G, statements on Form 3, Form 4 and Form 5 relating to SCD, ESD, EMD, GDO,
EHI, GDF, HIX, HIO, HYI, SBI, IGI, MHY, MMU, DMO, MTT, MHF, MNP, GFY, SBW,

company advised by Western Asset Management Company or an affiliate (each a

for EDGAR access codes, including without limitation the Form ID, related
thereto, granting unto said attorneys-in-fact and agents, and each of them,
acting separately, full power and authority to do and perform each and every act
and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection therewith, as fully
to all intents and purposes as he or she might or could do in person, hereby
ratifying and confirming all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents, or any of
them, or their or his substitute or substitutes, may lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof. Each of the lawful attorneys-in-fact and agents named
herein may act separately.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Power of Attorney shall
not in any manner revoke, in whole or in part, any Power of Attorney previously
executed. This Power of Attorney shall not be revoked by any subsequent Power of
Attorney executed in the future, unless such subsequent Power of Attorney
specifically refers to this Power of Attorney, or specifically states that the
instrument is intended to revoke this Power of Attorney, all prior general
Powers of Attorney or all prior Powers of Attorney.

This Power of Attorney may be revoked by written instrument executed the
principal and duly acknowledged. Whenever two or more Powers of Attorney are
valid at the same time, the agents appointed on each shall act separately,
unless otherwise specified in the documents. Any provision of this Power of
Attorney held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of the Power of
Attorney and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provisions so held to
the invalid or unenforceable.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this instrument as of the 8th day of
September, 2015.
