    3. A securities intermediary acting on behalf of the purchaser acquires possession of the security certificate, only if the certificate is in registered form and (i) registered in the name of the purchaser, (ii) payable to the order of the purchaser, or (iii) specially indorsed to the purchaser by an effective indorsement and has not been indorsed to the securities intermediary or in blank.
  2. Delivery of an uncertificated security to a purchaser occurs when:
    1. The issuer registers the purchaser as the registered owner, upon original issue or registration of transfer; or
    2. Another person, other than a securities intermediary, either becomes the registered owner of the uncertificated security on behalf of the purchaser or, having previously become the registered owner, acknowledges that it holds for the purchaser.
