Each Fiduciary may consult with counsel, who may or may not be counsel to the Trust, 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 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 executed in the name of the Trust by an Authorized Officer, and such certificate shall be full warrant for any action taken or suffered in good faith under the provisions of this Trust Agreement upon the face thereof, but in its discretion the Fiduciary may in lieu thereof accept other evidence of such fact or matter or may require such further or additional evidence as it may deem reasonable. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any request, direction, order, notice or other instruction required or permitted to be furnished pursuant to any provision hereof by or on behalf of the Trust to any Fiduciary shall be sufficiently executed if executed by an Authorized Officer.
