(B)if the collateral is a security entitlement carried in a securities account and:
(i)if the secured party obtained control under 12A:8-106 (d) (1), the secured party's becoming the person for which the securities account is maintained;

(5)A security interest in a certificated security in registered form which is perfected by taking delivery under 12A:9-313 (a) and not by control under 12A:9-314 has priority over a conflicting security interest perfected by a method other than control.
