1. A person who guarantees a
signature of an endorser of a security certificate warrants that at the time of
signing:
(a) The signature was genuine;
(b) The signer was an appropriate person to
endorse, or if the signature is by an agent, the agent had actual authority to
act on behalf of the appropriate person; and
(c) The signer had legal capacity to sign.
2. A person who guarantees a signature of
the originator of an instruction warrants that at the time of signing:
(a) The signature was genuine;
(b) The signer was an appropriate person to
originate the instruction, or if the signature is by an agent, the agent had
actual authority to act on behalf of the appropriate person, if the person
specified in the instruction as the registered owner was, in fact, the
registered owner, as to which fact the signature guarantor does not make a
warranty; and
(c) The signer had legal capacity to sign.
3. A person who specially guarantees the
signature of the originator of an instruction makes the warranties of a
guarantor under subsection 2 and also warrants that at the time the instruction
is presented to the issuer:
(a) The person specified in the instruction as
the registered owner of the uncertificated security will be the registered
owner; and
(b) The transfer of the uncertificated security
requested in the instruction will be registered by the issuer free from all
liens, security interests, restrictions and claims other than those specified
in the instruction.
4. A guarantor under subsections 1 and 2
or a special guarantor under subsection 3 does not otherwise warrant the
rightfulness of the transfer.
5. A person who guarantees an endorsement
of a security certificate makes the warranties of a guarantor under subsection
1 and also warrants the rightfulness of the transfer in all respects.
6. A person who guarantees an instruction
requesting the transfer of an uncertificated security makes the warranties of a
special guarantor under subsection 3 and also warrants the rightfulness of the
transfer in all respects.
7. An issuer may not require a special
guaranty of signature, a guaranty of endorsement or a guaranty of instruction
as a condition to registration of transfer.
8. The warranties under this section are
made to a person taking or dealing with the security in reliance on the
guaranty, and the guarantor is liable to the person for loss resulting from
their breach. An endorser or originator of an instruction whose signature,
endorsement or instruction has been guaranteed is liable to a guarantor for any
loss suffered by the guarantor as a result of a breach of the warranties of the
guarantor.
