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

Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered

      IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 19th day of March, 2015.
