STOCK CERTIFICATE NO. 1 — TEXT AND FORM

🔴 DRAFT — FOR ATTORNEY REVIEW. NOT EXECUTED. DO NOT SIGN AS-IS.

Prepared 2026-09-08 for ENHANCE BUSINESS CONSULTING INC., NY DOS ID 5238420 — a corporation formed 2017-11-21 under the name ENHANCE AUTO CREDIT INC and renamed by Certificate of Amendment filed with the New York Department of State on 2026-06-30 (file no. 260630002539). Both names refer to the same corporation and the same DOS ID. Prepared by a non-lawyer for the purpose of reducing a New York attorney's drafting time to review time. This is not legal advice. These documents are intended for attachment to government certification applications accompanied by a notarised affidavit, and must be reviewed, corrected and finalised by a licensed New York attorney before execution.

NOTHING IN THIS DOCUMENT IS BACKDATED. It is dated the day it is actually signed and it recites the corporation's history accurately. See 08-COVER-MEMORANDUM.md.

Every BRACKETED ITEM is a fact that has not been confirmed — see 00-PLACEHOLDER-REGISTER.md.


⚠️ Read the decision below before producing this certificate.

WAS A PHYSICAL CERTIFICATE EVER ISSUED? — CONFIRM WITH BOBBY

If… Then…
A certificate exists 🔴 Do not create this one. Photograph or scan the existing certificate and submit that. Creating a second Certificate No. 1 over an existing one is a real defect, not a cure.
A certificate was issued but is lost Replace resolution 4 of document 03 with a lost-certificate and replacement resolution, supported by an affidavit of loss; issue the replacement with a different number and record both in the ledger.
No certificate was ever issued Issue this one, dated the date of actual issuance in 2026, and record it in the ledger. The ledger — not the certificate — carries the date of the original issuance of the shares.
The attorney prefers uncertificated shares BCL § 508(f) permits it, and the Corporation must then, within a reasonable time, send the registered owner a written notice containing the information a certificate would have carried. (§ 508(f) puts that duty on the corporation, not on the board.) ⚠️ But MWBE's mandatory list asks for "copies of all issued stock certificates," so a certificate is probably the more cooperative answer here. ATTORNEY TO CONFIRM: certificated vs uncertificated shares

The certificate is dated when it is actually signed. The shares were issued in 2017 and the ledger says so. A certificate issued now that recites a 2017 issuance date on its face, over a 2026 signature, is the kind of internal contradiction a reviewer notices. Keep the certificate's own date honest and let the ledger carry the history.

🔑 On the name. The Corporation was ENHANCE AUTO CREDIT INC from 2017-11-21 until 2026-06-30. A certificate issued today is correctly issued in the Corporation's present name — that is the name it now has — and the former name is shown parenthetically so that nothing about the file has to be inferred. ⚠️ If a certificate was in fact issued in 2017, it will bear the name ENHANCE AUTO CREDIT INC. That is not a defect and it is not a different company — submit it as it is, and let the ledger and the Certificate of Amendment carry the explanation. Do not reissue a certificate to make the name match.


Required contents — BCL § 508(c)

Each certificate representing shares shall state upon the face thereof:

  1. That the corporation is formed under the laws of this state;
  2. The name of the person or persons to whom issued;
  3. The number and class of shares, and the designation of the series, if any.

⚠️ Citation corrected 2026-09-08. An earlier draft cited § 508(a) for these contents and § 508(b) for the signatures. Both were wrong: § 508(a) is the signature rule, § 508(b) is the multi-class legend (inapplicable — the Corporation has one class), and § 508(c) is the face-contents rule.

Required signatures — BCL § 508(a)

Signed by (the chairman or a vice-chairman of the board or the president or a vice-president) and (the secretary or an assistant secretary or the treasurer or an assistant treasurer).

Both signatures may be given by Robert C. Knuckles Jr., signing in two separate capacities, because BCL § 715(e) provides that "when all of the issued and outstanding stock of the corporation is owned by one person, such person may hold all or any combination of offices."

REVERSE — Assignment form (leave blank)

  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ____________________ hereby sells, assigns and transfers
  unto ____________________________ ______ shares of the capital stock
  represented by the within Certificate, and does hereby irrevocably constitute
  and appoint ____________________ attorney to transfer the said stock on the
  books of the within named Corporation with full power of substitution.

📌 Leave the reverse blank and unsigned. No transfer has occurred and none should be facilitated. A pre-signed assignment on the back of the only certificate of a company applying for an ownership-based certification is exactly the wrong artifact.
