Execution of Bonds The Bonds shall be executed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of its President or one of its Vice Presidents and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The Bonds shall then be delivered to the Trustee for authentication by it. In case any of the officers who shall have signed or attested any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer or officers of the Issuer before the Bonds so signed or attested shall have been authenticated or delivered by the Trustee or issued by the Issuer, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated, delivered and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery and issue, shall be as binding upon the Issuer as though those who signed and attested the same had continued to be such officers of the Issuer, and also any Bonds may be signed and attested on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as at the actual date of execution of such Bonds shall be the proper officers of the Issuer although at the nominal date of such Bonds any such person shall not have been such officer of the Issuer. No Bond shall be secured by, or be entitled to any lien, right, or benefit under, this Bond Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Bond either a Registration Certificate executed by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas or her duly authorized agent by manual signature, or a Certificate of Authentication executed by the Trustee by manual signature, in either case substantially in the form included in the form of Bond attached hereto as Exhibit A, and either such certificate upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such ▇▇▇▇ has been duly authenticated or certified and delivered hereunder.

Execution of Notes Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer. The Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.08 hereof. Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Notes attached as Exhibit A1 hereto, executed manually by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. In case any Officer who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuer, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.
