     (1)  any person may complete it by filling in the blanks as authorized; and

     (2)  even if the blanks are incorrectly filled in, the security certificate as completed is enforceable by a purchaser who took it for value and without notice of the incorrectness.

(b)  A complete security certificate that has been improperly altered, even if fraudulently, remains enforceable, but only according to its original terms.
