(c) The obligation of a securities intermediary to perform the duties imposed by §§ 8-504 through 8-508 of this subtitle is subject to:
(1) Rights of the securities intermediary arising out of a security interest under a security agreement with the entitlement holder or otherwise; and
(2) Rights of the securities intermediary under other law, regulation, rule, or agreement to withhold performance of its duties as a result of unfulfilled obligations of the entitlement holder to the securities intermediary.
