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

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 his or
her discretion.

The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform all 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

the undersigned regarding the purposes outlined in the first paragraph hereof
("Prior Powers of Attorney"), and the authority of the attorneys-in-fact named
in any Prior Powers of Attorney is hereby revoked.

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 (a) revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to
the foregoing attorneys-in-fact; or (b) superseded by a new power of attorney
regarding the purposes outlined in the first paragraph hereof dated as of a
later date.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 8, day of March, 2016.
