Section 8--304. Indorsement.  (a) An  indorsement  may  be  in blank or special.   An indorsement in blank includes an indorsement to bearer. A special indorsement specifies to whom a security is to be transferred or who has power to transfer it. A holder may convert a blank indorsement to a special indorsement.  (b) An indorsement purporting  to  be  only  of  part  of  a  security certificate  representing  units intended by the issuer to be separately transferable is effective to the extent of the indorsement.  (c) An indorsement, whether special or in blank, does not constitute a transfer until delivery of the certificate on which it  appears  or,  if the  indorsement  is  on a separate document, until delivery of both the document and the certificate.  (d) If a security certificate in registered form has been delivered to a purchaser without a necessary indorsement, the purchaser may become  a protected  purchaser  only  when  the indorsement is supplied.  However, against a transferor, a transfer  is  complete  upon  delivery  and  the purchaser  has  a  specifically  enforceable right to have any necessary indorsement supplied.  (e) An indorsement of a security certificate in bearer form  may  give notice of an adverse claim to the certificate, but it does not otherwise affect a right to registration that the holder possesses.  (f) Unless  otherwise  agreed,  a person making an indorsement assumes only the obligations provided in Section 8--108 and  not  an  obligation that the security will be honored by the issuer.

(b) Unless  otherwise  agreed,  a  person  initiating  an  instruction assumes only the obligations  imposed  by  Section  8--108  and  not  an obligation that the security will be honored by the issuer.

(b) If an issuer is under a duty to register a transfer of a security, the issuer is liable to a person presenting a certificated  security  or an  instruction  for  registration or to the person's principal for loss resulting from unreasonable delay in registration or failure or  refusal to register the transfer.

(2) "Appropriate evidence of appointment or incumbency" means:           (i) in  the  case  of a fiduciary appointed or qualified by a                court, a certificate issued by or under the direction  or                supervision  of the court or an officer thereof and dated                within 6 months  before  the  date  of  presentation  for                transfer; or          (ii) in  any  other  case,  a  copy  of a document showing the                appointment or a certificate issued by or on behalf of  a                person reasonably believed by an issuer to be responsible                or, in the absence of that document or certificate, other                evidence the issuer reasonably considers appropriate.
