(d) The name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the corporation of the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment;

(e) Two (2) or more persons are the shareholder as cotenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name or at least one (1) of the co-owners and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all the co-owners.

(3) The corporation is entitled to reject a vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment if the inspector of election or the officer or agent of the corporation authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature on it or about the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder.

(4) The corporation and its officer or agent who accepts or rejects a vote, consent, waiver or proxy appointment in good faith and in accordance with the standards of this section or section 30-1-722(2), Idaho Code, are not liable in damages to the shareholder for the consequences of the acceptance or rejection.
