(3) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that may be necessary or desirable to prepare and execute such Form ID and/or Forms 3, 4 and 5 (including any amendments thereto) and timely file such form(s) with the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

(4) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing that, 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 Angelique Strong Marks, as attorney‑in‑fact, acting singly, full power and authority to do and perform any and all acts and things necessary or desirable 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 could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney‑in‑fact, may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.

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Company, unless earlier (a) revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to such attorney‑in‑fact or (b) superseded by a new power of attorney regarding the purposes outlined herein dated as of a later date.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be executed as of the date first written above.
