the issuer has registered a transfer of a security to a person not
entitled to it, and the transfer was registered:

became effective under subsection (a) of Section 8-403
of this title and the issuer did not comply with
subsection (b) of Section 8-403 of this title;
(3) after the issuer had been served with an injunction,
restraining order, or other legal process enjoining it
from registering the transfer, issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction, and the issuer had a
reasonable opportunity to act on the injunction,
restraining order, or other legal process; or
(4) by an issuer acting in collusion with the wrongdoer.
