<br />met. Proof of the execution of any such consent, request, direction, approval, objection or other
<br />instrument or of the writing appointing any such agent and of the ownership of Bonds; if made in
<br />the following manner, shall be sufficient for any of the purposes of this Indenture, and shall be
<br />conclusive in favor of the Trustee with regard to any action taken under such request or other
<br />instrument, namely:
<br />(a) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such writing may be proved
<br />by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction who by law has power to take acknowledgments
<br />within such jurisdiction that the person signing such writing acknowledged before him the
<br />execution thereof, or by affidavit of any witness to such execution.
<br />(b) The fact of the holding by any person of Bonds transferable by delivery and the
<br />amounts and numbers of such Bonds, and the date of the holding of the same, may be proved by a
<br />certificate executed by any trust company, Bank or Bankers, wherever situated, stating that at the
<br />date thereof the party named therein did exhibit to an officer of such trust company or Bank or to
<br />such Banker, as the property of such party, the Bonds therein mentioned if such certificate shall
<br />be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee may, in its discretion, require evidence
<br />that such Bonds have been deposited with a Bank, Bankers or trust company, before taking any
<br />action based on such ownership. In lieu of the foregoing, the Trustee may accept other proofs of
<br />the foregoing as it shall deem appropriate.
<br />For all purposes of this Indenture and of the proceedings for the enforcement
<br />hereof, such person shall be deemed to continue to be the holder of such Bonds until the Trustee
<br />shall have received notice in writing to the contrary.

<br />any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect to this Indenture or any covenants,
<br />conditions and provisions herein contained, this Indenture and all of the covenants, conditions and
<br />provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties
<br />hereto and the Company and the holders of the Bonds as herein provided.
<br />Severability. If any provision of this Indenture shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be
<br />inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any jurisdiction or jurisdictions
<br />or in all jurisdictions, or in all cases because it conflicts with any other provision or provisions
<br />hereof or any constitution or statute or rule of public policy, or for any other reason, such
<br />circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or
<br />unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions
<br />herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatever.
<br />The invalidity of any one or more phrases, sentences, clauses or Sections in this
<br />Indenture contained, shall not affect: the remaining portions of this Indenture, or any part thereof.
