§12A-8-405.
Replacement of Lost, Destroyed, or Wrongfully Taken Security
Certificate.
(a) If an owner of a certificated security, whether in registered or
bearer form, claims that the certificate has been lost, destroyed, or
wrongfully taken, the issuer shall issue a new certificate if the
owner:
(1) so requests before the issuer has notice that the certificate has
been acquired by a protected purchaser;
(2) files with the issuer a sufficient indemnity bond; and
(3) satisfies other reasonable requirements imposed by the issuer.
(b) If, after the issue of a new security certificate, a protected
purchaser of the original certificate presents it for registration of
transfer, the issuer shall register the transfer unless an overissue
would result. In that case, the issuer's liability is governed by
Section 8-210 of this title. In addition to any rights on the
indemnity bond, an issuer may recover the new certificate from a
person to whom it was issued or any person taking under that person,
except a protected purchaser.
