Provided that the assignee shall, unless otherwise agreed between the parties, be entitled to recover from the assignor, any loss suffered by it as a result of any such defences and right of set off being exercised by the debtor;

(b) any other right of set off if it was available to the debtor at the time notice, under section 8, of the assignment was received by the debtor.
