(2)But such an enactment or rule of law does not apply to an assignation if the grounds on which the assignation would be of no effect by virtue of that enactment or rule are grounds which this Part provides do not make the assignation of no effect.

(b)the person whose unilateral undertaking gives rise to the claim had stated that the claim was not to be so assigned.
(4)For the purposes of subsection (3)(a), it does not matter whether the holder of the claim became the holder of the claim after the agreement was made.
