      and schedules, including any amendments thereto, with the United States
      Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and any securities
      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

      The undersigned hereby grants to each such Attorney-in-Fact full power and
authority to do and perform each 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 and revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that each such Attorney-in-Fact, or each
such Attorney-in-Fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to

      The undersigned agrees that each such Attorney-in-Fact may rely entirely
on information furnished orally or in writing by the undersigned to each such
Attorney-in-Fact.  The undersigned also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company and each such Attorney-in-Fact against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in these respects) that arise out of or are based on
any untrue statement or omission of necessary facts in the information provided

acknowledging, delivering and filing Forms 3, 4 and 5, and Schedules 13D and
13G, including any amendments thereto, and agrees to reimburse the Company and
each such Attorney-in-Fact for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action.

      This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5, or Schedules 13D and
13G, 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.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 9th  day of October, 2021.
