          The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints Lisa Klika as the

          (1)     execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the

                  accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
                  of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder (the "Exchange
                  Act") and Form ID, if necessary, to obtain EDGAR codes and
                  related documentation for use in filing Forms 3, 4 and 5;

          (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 Form 3, 4 or 5 or Form ID, complete and
                  execute any amendment or amendments thereto, and file such
                  forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any
                  stock exchange or similar authority;

          (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; and

          (4)     seek or obtain, as the undersigned's attorney-in-fact and on
                  the undersigned's behalf, information regarding transactions
                  in the Company's securities from any third party, including
                  brokers, employee benefit plan administrators and trustees,
                  and the undersigned hereby authorizes any such person to
                  release any such information to such attorney-in-fact and
                  approves and ratifies any such release of information.

          The undersigned hereby grants to the 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 connection with 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 attorney-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the
undersigned, is not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the
undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

          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 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
forgoing attorney-in-fact.

          This Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from
responsibility for compliance with the undersigned's obligations under the
Exchange Act, including, without limitation, the reporting requirements under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Additionally, although pursuant to this Power of
Attorney the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to timely and
accurately file Section 16 reports on behalf of the undersigned, the Company
does not represent or warrant that it will be able to in all cases timely and
accurately file Section 16 reports on behalf of the undersigned due to various
factors and the undersigned's and the Company's need to rely on others for
information, including the undersigned and brokers of the undersigned.

                            [Signature Page Follows]


          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned had caused this Power of Attorney
to be executed as of this 21st day of October, 2020.
