Part 2 - Issue and Issuer
8-206 - Completion or Alteration of Security Certificate.

(a) If a security certificate contains the signatures necessary to its
issue or transfer but is incomplete in any other respect:
(1) any person may complete it by filling in the blanks as
authorized; and
(2) even if the blanks are incorrectly filled in, the security
certificate as completed is enforceable by a purchaser who
took it for value and without notice of the incorrectness.
(b) A complete security certificate that has been improperly altered,
even if fraudulently, remains enforceable, but only according to its
original terms.
