Section 8-510 - Rights of Purchaser of Security Entitlement from Entitlement Holder(a) In a case not covered by the priority rules in Article 9 or the rules stated in subsection (c), 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 gave value, does not have notice of the adverse claim, and obtains control.(b) If an adverse claim could not have been asserted against an entitlement holder under Section 8-502 of this title, the adverse claim cannot be asserted against a person who purchases a security entitlement, or an interest therein, from the entitlement holder.(c) In a case not covered by the priority rules in Article 9 of this code, 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 (d) of this section, purchasers who have control rank according to priority in time of: (1) 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 paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section 8-106 of this title;(2) 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 paragraph (2) of subsection (d) of Section 8-106 of this title; or(3) if the purchaser obtained control through another person under paragraph (3) of subsection (d) of Section 8-106 of this title, the time on which priority would be based under this subsection if the other person were the secured party.(d) A securities intermediary as purchaser has priority over a conflicting purchaser who has control unless otherwise agreed by the securities intermediary.Okla.

This Section concerns the rights of persons who purchase interests in security entitlements from entitlement holders. Secured transactions are perhaps the most important example of transactions in which an entitlement holder transfers a property interest in a security entitlement. This Section gives adverse claim protection to persons who purchase or take security interests in security entitlements (or an interest in a security entitlement) for value and without notice of any adverse claim and who obtain control through agreement with the entitlement holder and the securities intermediary, but do not themselves become entitlement holders. See UCC § 8-106(d)(2). It also protects other transferees against adverse claims which could not have been asserted against the transferor entitlement holder. Finally, it creates priority rules primarily for securities repurchase agreements in cases not covered by Article 9.
