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

(2)

do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which may be

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-facts 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-facts 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 undersigneds 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

of, or legal counsel to the Company.


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

April 25, 2024.
