Claimant.

A securities intermediary that has transferred a financial asset

pursuant to an effective entitlement order, or a broker or other agent

or bailee that has dealt with a financial asset at the direction of its

customer or principal, is not liable to a person having an adverse claim

to the financial asset, unless the securities intermediary, or broker or

other agent or bailee:

(1) took the action after it had been served with an injunction,

restraining order, or other legal process enjoining it from doing so,

issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and had a reasonable

opportunity to act on the injunction, restraining order, or other legal

process; or

(2) acted in collusion with the wrongdoer in violating the rights of

the adverse claimant; or

(3) in the case of a security certificate that has been stolen, acted

with notice of the adverse claim.
