of such registration upon the note. Such request shall be duly
acknowledged or proved, or in the alternative the signature thereto
shall be certified as to its genuineness by an officer of a bank or
trust company located and authorized to do business in this state. Such
note may again and from time to time be converted into a registered note
and reconverted into a note payable to bearer in the manner provided in
this paragraph.

transferees. Such request shall be duly acknowledged or proved, or in
the alternative the signature thereto shall be certified as to its
genuineness by an officer of a bank or trust company located and
authorized to do business in this state. The registration agent shall
register such note in his books as payable to bearer, and shall endorse
a certificate of such registration upon the note. In like manner, at the
request of the holder of a note so converted, the registration agent
shall reconvert such note into a registered note by registering such
note in his books in the name of the holder and endorsing a certificate
of such registration upon the note. Such note may again and from time to
