1934 and the rules thereunder;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 14pt 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned which may be necessary or desirable

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 14pt 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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&rsquo;s sole discretion.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 14pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">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 or Chapman and Cutler LLP assuming,
any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 14pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In consideration of the attorneys-in-fact
acting on the undersigned&rsquo;s behalf pursuant to this Power of Attorney, the undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each attorney-in-fact, each substitute attorney-in-fact, and each of their respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors,
and assigns from and against the entirety of any and all losses, claims, causes of action, damages, fines, defense costs, amounts paid
in settlement, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys&rsquo; fees and expenses (collectively, <I>&ldquo;Losses&rdquo;</I>),
relating to or arising out of the exercise of this Power of Attorney by any such attorney-in-fact or substitute attorney-in-fact, and

or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation with which such indemnified person is or is threatened to be made a party.&nbsp;
The undersigned will not, however, be responsible for any Losses that are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted solely from an attorney-in-fact&rsquo;s or substitute attorney-in-fact&rsquo;s bad faith or willful misconduct.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt/14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 14pt 0 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">This Power of Attorney
shall remain in full force and effect until the undersigned is no longer required to file Forms&nbsp;3, 4, and 5 with respect to the undersigned&rsquo;s
holdings of and transactions in securities requiring such filings, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered
to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.</P>
