Cal. Com. Code § 8508 — Security Entitlements is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

A securities intermediary shall act at the direction of an entitlement holder to change a security entitlement into another available form of holding for which the entitlement holder is eligible, or to cause the financial asset to be transferred to a securities account of the entitlement holder with another securities intermediary. A securities intermediary satisfies the duty if it does either of the following:

(1) The securities intermediary acts as agreed upon by the entitlement holder and the securities intermediary.

(2) In the absence of agreement, the securities intermediary exercises due care in accordance with reasonable commercial standards to follow the direction of the entitlement holder.
