(1)An authenticating trustee, registrar, transfer agent, or other person entrusted by the issuer with the signing of the security certificate or of similar security certificates, or the immediate preparation for signing of any of them; or
(2)An employee of the issuer, or of any of the persons listed in paragraph (1) of this section, entrusted with responsible handling of the security certificate.
