Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) In a case not covered by the priority rules in Chapter 9a, Uniform Commercial Code - Secured
Transactions, or the rules stated in Subsection (3), an action based on an adverse claim to
a financial asset or security entitlement, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive
trust, equitable lien, or other theory, may not be asserted against a person who purchases a
security entitlement, or an interest therein, from an entitlement holder if the purchaser gives
value, does not have notice of the adverse claim, and obtains control.
(2) If an adverse claim could not have been asserted against an entitlement holder under Section
70A-8-502, the adverse claim cannot be asserted against a person who purchases a security
entitlement, or an interest therein, from the entitlement holder.
(3) In a case not covered by the priority rules in Chapter 9a, Uniform Commercial Code - Secured
Transactions, a purchaser for value of a security entitlement, or an interest therein, who obtains
control has priority over a purchaser of a security entitlement, or an interest therein, who does
not obtain control. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (4), purchasers who have
control rank according to priority in time of:

(a) the purchaser's becoming the person for whom the securities account, in which the security
entitlement is carried, is maintained, if the purchaser obtained control under Subsection
70A-8-105(4)(a);
(b) the securities intermediary's agreement to comply with the purchaser's entitlement orders
with respect to security entitlements carried or to be carried in the securities account in
which the security entitlement is carried, if the purchaser obtained control under Subsection
70A-8-105(4)(b); or
(c) if the purchaser obtained control through another person under Subsection 70A-8-105(4)(c),
the time on which priority would be based under this subsection if the other person were the
secured party.
(4) A securities intermediary as purchaser has priority over a conflicting purchaser who has control
unless otherwise agreed by the securities intermediary.
