(2) Except as otherwise provided in Subdivisions (3) and (4), conflicting security interests held by secured parties each of which has control under Section 9.106 rank according to priority in time of:
(A) if the collateral is a security, obtaining control;
(B) if the collateral is a security entitlement carried in a securities account and:
(i) if the secured party obtained control under Section 8.106(d)(1), the secured party's becoming the person for which the securities account is maintained;
(ii) if the secured party obtained control under Section 8.106(d)(2), the securities intermediary's agreement to comply with the secured party's entitlement orders with respect to security entitlements carried or to be carried in the securities account; or
(iii) if the secured party obtained control through another person under Section 8.106(d)(3), the time on which priority would be based under this subdivision if the other person were the secured party; or
