  1. A secured party has control of electronic chattel paper if a system employed for evidencing the transfer of interests in the chattel paper reliably establishes the secured party as the person to which the chattel paper was assigned.
  2. A system satisfies subsection (a) if the record or records comprising the chattel paper are created, stored, and assigned in such a manner that:
    1. a single authoritative copy of the record or records exists which is unique, identifiable, and, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (4), (5), and (6), unalterable;
    2. the authoritative copy identifies the secured party as the assignee of the record or records;
    3. the authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the secured party or its designated custodian;
    4. copies or amendments that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can be made only with the consent of the secured party;
    5. each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy; and
    6. any amendment of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as authorized or unauthorized.

History. Acts 2001, No. 1439, § 1; 2013, No. 138, § 5.

Amendments. The 2013 amendment redesignated the former introductory language as (a) and rewrote (a); added the introductory language of (b); in (b)(4), substituted “amendments” for “revisions” and “consent” for “participation”; in (a)(6), substituted “any amendment” for “any revision” and deleted “an” preceding “authorized” and “revision” following “unauthorized”.
