(b) If the collateral is a security entitlement carried in a securities account and:

(A) If the secured party obtained control under ORS 78.1060 (4)(a), the secured party’s becoming the person for which the securities account is maintained;

(B) If the secured party obtained control under ORS 78.1060 (4)(b), the securities intermediary’s agreement to comply with the secured party’s entitlement orders with respect to security entitlements carried or to be carried in the securities account; or

(5) A security interest in a certificated security in registered form which is perfected by taking delivery under ORS 79.0313 (1) and not by control under ORS 79.0314 has priority over a conflicting security interest perfected by a method other than control.
