ARTICLE XI <br /> EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS BY OWNERS <br /> AND PROOF OF OWNERSHIP OF BONDS <br /> Any request, direction, consent or other instrument in writing required or permitted by this <br /> Indenture to be signed or executed by Owners of Bonds or on their behalf by an attorney-in-fact may be <br /> in any number of concurrent instruments of similar tenor and may be signed or executed by such Owners <br /> in person or by an agent or attorney-in-fact appointed by an instrument in writing or as provided in the <br /> Bonds. Proof of the execution of any such instrument and of the ownership of Bonds will be sufficient <br /> for any purpose of this Indenture and will be conclusive in favor of the Trustee with regard to any action <br /> taken by it under such instrument if made in the following manner: <br /> (a) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument may be <br /> proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power <br /> to take acknowledgments within such jurisdiction, to the effect that the person signing such <br /> instrument acknowledged before him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such <br /> execution. <br /> (b) The ownership of Bonds will be proved by the registration books kept under the <br /> provisions of Section 2.08. <br /> Nothing contained in this Article will be construed as limiting the Trustee to such proof, it being <br /> intended that the Trustee may accept any other evidence of matters herein stated which it may deem <br /> sufficient. Any request, consent of, or assignment by any Owner of Bonds will bind every future Owner <br /> of the same Bond or any Bonds or Bonds issued in lieu thereof in respect of anything done by the Trustee <br /> or the Corporation in pursuance of such request or consent. <br /> [End of Article XI] <br /> • <br /> 45 <br />
