(1) If a certificated security in registered form is presented to an issuer with a request to register transfer or an instruction is presented to an issuer with a request to register transfer of an uncertificated security, the issuer shall register the transfer as requested if:

(b) the indorsement or instruction is made by the appropriate person or by an agent who has actual authority to act on behalf of the appropriate person;

(c) reasonable assurance is given that the indorsement or instruction is genuine and authorized (30-8-412);

(d) any applicable law relating to the collection of taxes has been complied with;

(e) the transfer does not violate any restriction on transfer imposed by the issuer in accordance with 30-8-214;

(f) a demand that the issuer not register transfer has not become effective under 30-8-413, or the issuer has complied with 30-8-413(2) but no legal process or indemnity bond is obtained as provided in 30-8-413(4); and

(g) the transfer is in fact rightful or is to a protected purchaser.
