(2) Each associate (if any) of the broker (in this section called the

"designated broker") of whom the stamp referred to in paragraph (1) (b)
purports to be the stamp and, unless the designated broker is a broker's
agent, the designated broker shall be deemed to have warranted:

   (a)  that the statements in the document that purport to be certified by
        the transferor's broker are accurate; and

   (b)  that the transferor is:

        (i)    the registered holder of, or entitled to be registered as the
               holder of, the securities; or

as the case may be, and is legally entitled or authorised to sell or dispose
of the securities or rights.

(3) If the document has been duly completed in accordance with Part 1 of Form

        (i)    the transferee;

        (ii)   particular persons who include, or particular classes of
               persons at least one of which includes, the transferee; or

        (iii)  any person at all;
the designated broker shall be deemed to have been authorised to execute, and
to have executed, the document on the transferor's behalf; and

   (b)  each associate (if any) of the designated broker and, unless the
        designated broker is a broker's agent, the designated broker is or
        are, as the case requires, liable to indemnify:

        (i)    the issuing body in relation to the securities or rights;

        (ii)   the transferor;

        (iii)  the transferee; and

        (iv)   the transferee's broker;
against any loss or damage arising if:

               designated broker's stamp; or

        (vi)   apart from the effect of paragraph (a) of this subsection, the
               designated broker was not authorised to execute the document on
               the transferor's behalf.
