AS 45.08.503. Property Interest of Entitlement Holder in Financial Asset Held By Securities Intermediary.

(a) To the extent necessary for a securities intermediary to satisfy all security entitlements with respect to a particular financial asset, all interests in that financial asset held by the securities intermediary are held by the securities intermediary for the entitlement holders, are not property of the securities intermediary, and are not subject to claims of creditors of the securities intermediary, except as otherwise provided in AS 45.08.511 .
(b) An entitlement holder's property interest with respect to a particular financial asset under (a) of this section is a pro rata property interest in all interests in that financial asset held by the securities intermediary, without regard to the time the entitlement holder acquired the security entitlement or the time the securities intermediary acquired the interest in that financial asset.
(c) An entitlement holder's property interest with respect to a particular financial asset under (a) of this section may not be enforced against the securities intermediary unless the interest is enforced by exercising the entitlement holder's rights under AS 45.08.505 - 45.08.508.
(d) An entitlement holder's property interest with respect to a particular financial asset under (a) of this section may not be enforced against a purchaser of the financial asset or of an interest in the financial asset, unless

(1) insolvency proceedings have been initiated by or against the securities intermediary;

(2) the securities intermediary does not have sufficient interests in the financial asset to satisfy the security entitlements of all of the intermediary's entitlement holders to that financial asset;

(3) the securities intermediary violated the intermediary's obligations under AS 45.08.504 by transferring the financial asset or interest in the financial asset to the purchaser; and

(4) the purchaser is not protected under (f) of this section.
(e) Under (d) of this section, the trustee or other liquidator, acting on behalf of all entitlement holders having security entitlements with respect to a particular financial asset, may recover the financial asset, or the interest in the financial asset, from the purchaser; if the trustee or other liquidator elects not to pursue this right of recovery, an entitlement holder whose security entitlement remains unsatisfied has the right to recover the entitlement holder's interest in the financial asset from the purchaser.
(f) An action based on the entitlement holder's property interest with respect to a particular financial asset under (a) of this section, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien, or other theory, may not be asserted against a purchaser of a financial asset or an interest in a financial asset who gives value, obtains control, and does not act in collusion with the securities intermediary in violating the securities intermediary's obligations under AS 45.08.504 .
