(1) A securities intermediary shall comply with an entitlement order if the entitlement order is originated by the appropriate person, the securities intermediary has had reasonable opportunity to assure itself that the entitlement order is genuine and authorized, and the securities intermediary has had reasonable opportunity to comply with the entitlement order.

(a) The securities intermediary acts with respect to the duty as agreed upon by the entitlement holder and the securities intermediary; or
(b) In the absence of agreement, the securities intermediary exercises due care in accordance with reasonable commercial standards to comply with the entitlement order.

If the securities intermediary does not reestablish a security entitlement, the securities intermediary is liable to the entitlement holder for damages.
