any safe-deposit box, vault, storage warehouse, or other depository that I may own, that may be
registered in my name, or in which any property may be held for me without anyone else being
present. This power includes the power to have the box drilled in the event the key cannot be
found after a diligent search has been made as determined by my attorney-in-fact.
3.11
My attorney-in-fact may retain without liability for depreciation or loss any investments
originally owned by me or acquired on my behalf by my attorney-in-fact and invest and reinvest
all or any part of my property in real property or any interest in real property; certificates of
deposit or other interest-bearing financial accounts or investments; stocks (both preferred and
common), bonds, notes, and other obligations of corporations; shares in real estate trusts; mutual
funds; and in any other kind of property, including, but not limited to, United States Treasury
Bills, Notes, Bonds, and other obligations of the United States Government.
3.12
My attorney-in-fact shall not loan or borrow money in my name and shall not issue
promissory notes payable by me or secure their payment by mortgaging or pledging any part of
my property.
3.13
My attorney-in-fact shall have the power to prepare, execute, and file any and all federal,
state, local, or other tax returns, claims for refunds, or declarations of estimated tax. This power
shall include the power to represent me (directly or through attorneys, accountants, or other
agents) in any matter before the Internal Revenue Service or any other federal, state, or local
agency. In connection with such representation, my attorney-in-fact may execute consents
extending the statutory period for the assessment or collection of taxes; may pay all taxes and
interest thereon which I may properly owe or which may be assessed against me; may contest the
validity of any proposed assessment; and may compromise the same. It is my intention that
these tax powers be valid for all tax years and for all types of tax, but I understand that the
Internal Revenue Service requires specific years to be set forth for a valid durable power of
attorney. Therefore, I specifically authorize my attorney-in-fact to deal with all tax years from
1989 until 2049 and all tax forms including but not limited to 1040, 2838, and 709.
3.14
My attorney-in-fact may sell, convey, lease, contract, and otherwise deal with any oil,
gas, or other mineral interests of any kind whatsoever and wherever situated, which I may own
or which I may acquire in the future. This power shall include, but shall not be limited to, the
power to execute oil, gas, or other mineral or royalty deeds, leases, transfer and division orders,
joint operating agreements, unitization agreements, gas sales contracts, or other instruments of
