6from the breach, including incidental but not consequential damages, less any
7amount saved as a result of the breach. To the extent of the confirmation, a confirmer
8has the liability of an issuer specified in this subsection and subs. (1) and (2).
AB1036,17,11 9(4) An issuer, nominated person, or adviser who is found liable under sub. (1),
