(2)  that is one of a class or series, or by its terms is divisible into a class or series, of shares, participations or obligations; and

(3)  that is, or is of a type, dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or financial markets, or that is a medium for investment in the area in which it is issued or dealt in or traded and by its terms expressly provides that it is a security for the purposes of this Act.

A security certificate is in bearer form if it expressly states that the security is payable to the certificate bearer. A security certificate is in registered form if it specifies a person entitled to the security and if a transfer of the security may be registered on books maintained for that purpose by or on behalf of the issuer, or the security certificate states that it may be so registered.
