to his immediate purchaser, in addition to any warranty made in selling or
leasing the goods, that:

a. the document is genuine; and

b. he has no knowledge of any fact that would impair the document&#8217;s
validity or worth; and

c. his negotiation or delivery is rightful and fully effective with respect to
the title to the document and the goods it represents.
