Nothing in this part shall be deemed to fix a liability upon an interest holder greater than the amount for which the interest holder would be liable to the original contractor. Payment made by the interest holder to the original contractor prior to notice of a subcontractor’s lien shall be considered satisfaction of obligations to the extent of such payments. Payments made by the interest holder to a subcontractor pursuant to a valid lien shall be considered satisfaction of obligations owed by the interest holder to the contractor under the contract to the extent of such payments.
