(1)The clearing corporation, custodian bank, or nominee is legally authorized to hold the particular investment for the account of others;
(2)If the investment is evidenced by a certificate and held in the name of a custodian bank or the nominee of a custodian bank, a written agreement shall provide that certificates so deposited shall at all times be kept separate and apart from other deposits with the depository so that at all times they may be identified as belonging solely to the company making the deposit; and
