Right of Fiduciaries to Rely on Documents

Any Fiduciary shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, requisition, statement, report, opinion, bond or other paper or document believed to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. Any Fiduciary may consult with nationally recognized bond counsel, who may be counsel of or to the Government, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance therewith. Whenever in the administration of the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture a Fiduciary shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a Certificate of the Government, and such Certificate shall be full warrant to such Fiduciary for any action taken or suffered in good faith under the provisions of this Indenture in reliance upon such Certificate, but in its discretion such Fiduciary may, in lieu thereof, accept other COL4/6/2022 CH. 22 GENERAL FISCAL POLICIES AND CONTROLS evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable.
