           exchange or similar authority; and

     (4)   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.

     The undersigned hereby grants to 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 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    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
foregoing attorney-in-fact.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 14th day of July 2017.
