1. the securities intermediary acts with respect to the duty as agreed upon by the entitlement holder and the securities intermediary; or
2. in the absence of agreement, the securities intermediary either places the entitlement holder in a position to exercise the rights directly or exercises due care in accordance with reasonable commercial standards to follow the direction of the entitlement holder.
