Section 3.       Each initial and future Holder of the Series CILCO-AA Mortgage Bonds, by its acquisition of an interest in such Series CILCO-AA Mortgage Bonds, irrevocably (a) consents to the amendments set forth in Article I of the Supplemental Indenture dated as of October 25, 2017, supplemental to the Indenture, without any other or further action by any Holder of such Series CILCO-AA Mortgage Bonds, and (b) designates the Trustee, and its successors, as its proxy with irrevocable instructions to vote and deliver written consents on behalf of such Holder in favor of such amendments at any meeting of Holders, in lieu of any meeting of Holders, in any consent solicitation or otherwise.
