REGISTRATION IN BENEFICIARY FORM; SOLE OR JOINT TENANCY OWNERSHIP; APPLICABLE
LAW (§ 64.2-613)

A. Only individuals whose registration of a security shows sole ownership by one
individual or multiple ownership by two or more with right of survivorship,
rather than as tenants in common, may obtain registration in beneficiary form.
Multiple owners of a security registered in beneficiary form hold as joint
tenants with right of survivorship, as tenants by the entireties, or as owners
of community property held in survivorship form, and not as tenants in common.

B. A security may be registered in beneficiary form if the form is authorized by
this article or a similar law of the state of organization of the issuer or
registering entity, the location of the registering entity&#8217;s principal
office, the office of its transfer agent, or its office making the registration,
or by a similar law of the state listed as the owner&#8217;s address at the time
of registration.
			A registration governed by the law of a jurisdiction in which this article or
a similar law is not in force or was not in force when a registration in
beneficiary form was made is nevertheless presumed to be valid and authorized as
a matter of contract law.
