471 F.Supp.2d 432 (2007)
Susan ETEVOB et al., Plaintiffs,
v.
THE REPUBLIC OF ARGENTINA and The Province of Buenos Aires, Defendants.
No. 03 Civ. 1680(TPG).
United States District Court, S.D. New York.
January 16, 2007.
*433 Joel A. Chernov, Marc S. Dreier, Drier & Baritz L.L.P., New York, NY, for plaintiffs.

AMENDED OPINION
GRIESA, District Judge.
Plaintiffs are the beneficial owners of certain bond indebtedness issued by defendants The Republic of Argentina and The Province of Buenos Aires (hereinafter referred to jointly as the "Republic"). The Republic defaulted on such indebtedness in December 2001 during a profound fiscal crisis. Plaintiffs are suing to recover amounts due to them as a result of the. default and have moved for summary judgment.
The motions are granted.

FACTS
The bond indebtedness at issue is governed by one of four agreements: (1) a Fiscal Agency Agreement dated October 19, 1994 (the "1994 FAA"), (2) a Fiscal Agency Agreement dated December 10, 1993 (the "1993 FAA"), (3) a Floating Rate and Bond Exchange Agreement dated December 6, 1992 (the "FRB Agreement"), and (4) an Indenture dated July 8, 1998 (the "1998 Indenture"). The 1994 FAA is the same agreement that governed the bond indebtedness on which this court granted summary judgment to the plaintiffs in Lightwater Corporation Ltd. v. Republic of Argentina, No. 02 Civ. 3804, 2003 WL 1878420 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 14, 2003). Section 22 of the 1994 FAA, Section 20 of the 1993 FAA, Section 6.07 of the FRB Agreement and Section 113(c) of the Indenture state that the Republic waives sovereign immunity and consents to jurisdiction in any state or federal court in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York. All four agreements provide that the Republic's obligations on the bonds are unconditional and that failure to make any payment of principal or interest for 30 days after the applicable payment date constitutes an event of default. A declaration by the Republic of a moratorium on the payment of principal or interest on its public external indebtedness is an event of default as well. Paragraph 12 of the 1994 FAA provides for acceleration of principal if there is a failure to pay interest or a moratorium. If either of these events occurs,
each holder of Securities and such Series may by such notice in writing declare the principal amount of Securities of such Series held by it to be due and payable immediately. . . .
The 1993 FAA contains similar language.
*434 The FRB Agreement and the 1998 Indenture both permit acceleration of principal only by holders of at least 25% in aggregate of the outstanding principal amount of the bonds under each agreement.
On December 24, 2001 the Republic declared a moratorium on payments of principal and interest on the external debt of the Republic. The court refers to its previous opinions for a description of the circumstances of these defaults. Lightwater, 2003 WL 1878420, at *2; Applestein v. Province of Buenos Aires, No. 02 Civ. 1773, 2003 WL 1990206, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 29, 2003). On June 10, 2003, plaintiffs sent notices to Bankers Trust Company, the Fiscal Agent of The Republic of Argentina, declaring the principal amounts of the debt securities governed by the 1994 FAA and 1993 FAA held by each plaintiff to be immediately due and payable.
The bonds that are the subject of this action are listed hereafter. Also listed are the amounts of the beneficial interests owned by each plaintiff.[1]
The following tables contain the necessary identifying information regarding each plaintiffs beneficial interests in bonds.

DISCUSSION
This Court has already granted summary judgment in other cases to plaintiffs seeking to collect on the Republic's defaulted bonds issued under the 1994 FAA, the 1993 FAA, the FRB Agreement and the 1998 Indenture. This has occurred in Lightwater, supra, Applestein, supra, Mazzini v. Republic of Argentina, No. 03 Civ. 8120, 2005 WL 743090, 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 5692 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 31, 2005), and other cases. Only " certain specific issues need to be discussed in connection with the present motion.
Standing and Proof of Ownership
In the two opinions in Fontana v. Republic of Argentina, 415 F.3d 238 (2d Cir.2005), and Applestein v. Province of Buenos Aires, 415 F.3d 242 (2d Cir.2005), the Second Circuit has held that an owner of a beneficial interest, such as plaintiffs here, must receive authorization from the registered holder of the bond before it may sue, but that such authorization may be granted subsequent to the filing of a lawsuit. Alternatively, the Republic may waive the authorization requirement.
The Republic has agreed to waive objections based on lack of authorization where the court makes a finding of current ownership. See Transcript, March 28, 2006; Cilli v. Republic of Argentina (04 Civ. 6594).
Here, plaintiffs have adequately demonstrated through their account statements that owned the beneficial interests as of various dates in 2003 and 2004. There is no evidence of any change of ownership thereafter.

CONCLUSION
The motions for summary judgment are granted. Judgment will be entered for the principal amount of the bonds plus accrued interest. With respect to the bonds issued under the FRB Agreement and the 1998 Indenture, judgment will be entered for any payments on those bonds that are due and unpaid as of the time of judgment.
The parties shall consult with one another concerning the form of the judgment and the amounts of interest that should be awarded in the judgment. If the parties are unable to reach agreement on those subjects, they shall jointly submit an agreed proposed judgment to the court. If the Republic and any plaintiff are unable to reach agreement on those subjects, that plaintiff shall submit a proposed judgment to the court, and the Republic shall submit any objections to that plaintiffs proposed judgment within five business *444 days thereafter. The court will then resolve any remaining disagreements.
SO ORDERED.
NOTES
[1]  The court notes the distinction between bonds and beneficial interests. In some previous opinions, the court has simply referred to the plaintiffs as owners of "bonds," when in fact plaintiffs are technically owners of "beneficial interests in bonds." " The Republic actually issues "a bond" to a depository. The depository, in some form, issues "participations" to brokers, who sell "beneficial interests" to purchasers. These beneficial interests are identified by reference to the underlying bond (CUSIP or ISIN number or both; date of issuance and maturity; rate of interest) and the principal amount of the beneficial interest. This distinction is discussed more fully in Million Air Corp. v. Republic of Argentina, No. 04 Civ. 1048, 2005 WL 2656126, 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23904 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 17, 2005).
[2]  This beneficial interest was properly accelerated notwithstanding a typographical error in the notice of acceleration.
