(2) The authoritative copy identifies the person asserting control as:

(A) The person to which the document was issued; or

(3) The authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the person asserting control or is designated custodian;

(4) Copies or amendments that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can be made only with the consent of the person asserting control;

(5) Each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy; and

(6) Any amendment of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as authorized or unauthorized.
