_____________________, 2022, I, IMANI W. KINYANJUI, now residing in
Nairobi, Republic of Kenya do hereby make, constitute and appoint JANE

in Libertyville, Illinois, my true and lawful attorney to act for me and
in my behalf and in my name, place and stead, in any and all matters,
whether of a business or personal nature, with all the power and
authority and with all the same practical and legal effect as if I had
been present and taking the same action in person. I intend to grant
to my attorney a full, general, complete and universal power of attorney.

1. Without limiting or diminishing the foregoing broad, general

for purposes of emphasis and express authority, I intend that my attorney

to me or to my order; to receive and deposit monies, dividends, interest,
insurance benefits, IRA’s, and other income and property belonging or
owing to me from any source whatsoever; and generally to do all things
necessary, convenient or incidental to the transaction of any and all
of my financial and banking business;

(b) To collect and receive all sums of money, debts, accounts,


legacies, Social Security benefits, pensions, annuities, Medicare,
medical insurance, and other benefits or payments now or hereafter due,
owing or payable or belonging to me, from any source whatsoever, and to
make claim for and have, use and take all lawful ways and means, in my
name or otherwise, for the recovery thereof, and to give receipts and
releases for the same;

securities of whatever kind, and other personal property in possession

or interest; and to invest and reinvest all property and funds coming
into his hands in whatsoever manner my said attorney deems best in his
sole discretion; to vote proxies, exercise options, vote stock,
participate in reorganizations, and generally to deal with my securities
and all other property as I might do in my own person;

(e) To retain, take possession of and move or store or sell, give


away as provided in my Last Will and Testament then in effect, or
otherwise deal with and dispose of, according to the sole discretion of
my attorney, any and all of my furniture, furnishings and personal
possessions and belongings, whenever and if in his sole judgment and
discretion he may deem such action advisable;

(f) To prepare, sign and file any and all income and other tax
returns at any time and from time to time required of me, and to pay any
tax due thereon, and to pay, compromise or contest any tax assessment;

taxing authority, and to receive and file in my behalf any notices,
communications, agreements, appeals or other documents whatsoever;

medical, nursing and general care and maintenance in any residence,
hospital, home, extended care facility, life care facility, or other
proper place, and to oversee the quality of such care, and to authorize
and give consents to operations, treatments and medications, according
to the sole discretion of my attorney, and to pay therefore and for my
support, comfort and welfare as he shall from time to time in his
discretion deem proper; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph
shall limit the authority granted to any Agent designated under a
document entitled "Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care" and/or
"Health Care Directive" executed by me either before or after executing
this Durable Power of Attorney;

(h) To deal with any and all matters related to medical treatment
procedures, identification and procurement of medicines and medications;
access to any and all medical records including but not limited to those
related to billing and treatment of any kind.

(i) To act in my name and to sign my name with or without disclosing


that such action is by authority of this power of attorney;

a professional person, agent or custodian at any time acting for me or

real property, which I now own or may hereafter acquire;

2
(l) In general, my said attorney shall do all other acts, deeds,
matters and things whatsoever in or about my estate, property and
affairs, personal and business, either particularly or generally
described herein, as fully and effectually to all intents and purposes
as I could do in my own proper person.

2. In the exercise of the power of attorney, my attorney shall


act in my name, shall keep my property and assets segregated and shall
maintain true and accurate records.

3. All persons and businesses contracting with my attorney, or


any duly appointed agent of my attorney, shall be under no obligation

to see to the application of any money, securities, or other property.

4. This is a durable power of attorney and is granted, among other


reasons, in order to facilitate the orderly handling of my personal and
business affairs without judicial process, despite my possible future
unavailability, mental or physical illness, disability or incompetence.
No such circumstances shall cancel any power of attorney since that is
one of the precise contingencies for which this power of attorney is
conferred.

5. Notwithstanding the provisions of any law now or hereafter in


force and effect, my attorney-in-fact shall not be required to make an
accounting of his administration of my affairs under this Power of
Attorney to any Court having jurisdiction or to the Personal
Representative/Executor under my Will or to any other Court-appointed
fiduciary or interested party even though my attorney-in-fact may also
be the Personal Representative/Executor under my Will, and the making
of any such accounting is hereby specifically waived.

6. If this power of attorney should have been revoked unknown to


my attorney, as by my death, the acts of my attorney are authorized and
shall be binding upon my heirs and personal representatives who shall
hold harmless both my attorney and any party who relied on this power.

7. HIPAA COMPLIANCE PROVISION: My attorney-in-fact appointed


hereunder is authorized by me to obtain all of my protected medical and
healthcare and treatment records without limitation and for any purpose.
(including records relating to mental health, communicable diseases, HIV
or AIDS, and treatment of alcohol/drug abuse). Further, any entity
requested to provide my protected health information to any person or
class of persons whom my attorney-in-fact shall direct. This
authorization shall not expire and shall continue in full force and
effect so long as the person receiving the request does not have actual
knowledge of any revocation of this Power of Attorney. I understand
that a revocation is not effective to the extent that any person or
entity has already acted in reliance on my authorization or if my
authorization was obtained as a condition of obtaining insurance coverage
and the insurer has a legal right to contest a claim. I reserve
hereunder, however, the right to revoke this HIPAA authorization, in
writing at any time. Further, my attorney-in-fact is specifically
authorized to execute, on my behalf, any HIPAA compliant authorization
requested by a custodian of such records. I understand that information
used or disclosed pursuant to this authorization may be disclosed by the
recipient and may no longer be protected by federal or state law.

This authorization is intended to provide my health care providers


with the authorization necessary to allow each of them to disclose my
protected health information under the Privacy regulations promulgated
under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996,
as amended, to the persons described above, for the purpose stated above.

4
I specifically authorize my health care providers to rely on a facsimile
copy of this authorization or any document described above.

I understand that my protected information disclosed by a health


care provider pursuant to this authorization is subject to redisclosure
and may no longer be protected by the privacy rules of 45 CRF Rule 64,
and that no health care provider may refuse treatment for me based on
whether or not I have signed this authorization.

"THIS IS A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY AND THE AUTHORITY OF MY ATTORNEY


IN FACT SHALL NOT TERMINATE IF I BECOME DISABLED OR INCAPACITATED OR IN
THE EVENT OF LATER UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER I AM DEAD OR ALIVE"

And I hereby ratify and confirm and promise at all times to ratify
and confirm, all and whatsoever my attorney shall lawfully do or cause
to be done in and about the premises by virtue of these presents.
