"Company"), Schedules 13D and 13G, Form ID, and Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments
thereto in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and the rules thereunder;

(2)	do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Schedules 13D and
13G, Form ID, and Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto and timely file such
form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock
exchange or similar authority; and

(3)	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,
in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, 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 terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.

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 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 Sections 13 and Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. The undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify the attorney-in-fact
and the Company from and against any demand, damage, loss, cost or expense
arising from any false or misleading information provided by the undersigned
to the attorney-in-fact.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file any Schedules 13D and 13G and Forms
3, 4 and 5 in accordance with Sections 13 and 16(a) of the Exchange Act 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 foregoing attorneys-in-fact. This Power of Attorney may
be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as a
confirming statement of the authority granted herein. This Power of Attorney
supersedes any prior power of attorney in connection with the undersigned's
capacity as an officer and/or director of the Company. This Power of Attorney
shall expire as to any individual attorney-in-fact if such attorney-in-fact
ceases to be an executive officer of, or legal counsel to the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of August 14, 2023.
