A purchaser who has satisfied the requirements of subsection 3, paragraph "b", or subsection 4, paragraph "b", has control even if the registered owner in the case of subsection 3, paragraph "b", or the entitlement holder in the case of subsection 4, paragraph "b", retains the right to make substitutions for the uncertificated security or security entitlement, to originate instructions or entitlement orders to the issuer or securities intermediary, or otherwise to deal with the uncertificated security or security entitlement.
