Application of Part 5. A financing statement that 26 includes a financing statement filed before July 1, 2013, 27 and a continuation statement filed on or after July 1, 28 2013, is effective only to the extent that the financing 29 statement satisfies the requirements of Part 5, as amended by 30 this Act, for an initial financing statement. A financing 31 statement that indicates that the debtor is a decedent’s 32 estate indicates that the collateral is being administered 33 by a personal representative within the meaning of section 34 554.9503, subsection 1, paragraph “b” , as amended by this Act. 35 -15- LSB 5461SC (5) 84 da/rj 15/ 27

GENERAL SAVINGS PROVISION. The repeals of sections 9 554.9701 through 554.9710, and sections 554.9801 through 10 554.9809 in this Act are subject to the application of section 11 4.13, relating to general savings provisions. 12 Sec. 37. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act takes effect July 1, 13 2013. 14 EXPLANATION 15 BACKGROUND. This bill makes changes in Article 9 of 16 the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). Generally, Article 9 17 regulates transactions involving the collateralization of 18 debt in personal property and provides rights to competing 19 creditors. It allows a creditor to take a lien (a security 20 interest) in the collateral with the possibility of enforcing 21 the lien if the debtor defaults upon a contractual obligation. 22 The Article includes detailed requirements relating to the 23 creation and perfection of the creditor’s security interest in 24 the collateral, and the right to acquire priority over other 25 creditors (e.g., by filing a financing statement with the 26 secretary of state, possessing or controlling the property, or 27 acquiring some form of automatic attachment), and for taking 28 legal action to satisfy the debt by acquiring the collateral or 29 rights to property associated with the contract. 30 BACKGROUND —— MODEL ACT. Iowa’s version of the UCC is 31 codified in Code chapter 554 based on a model Act drafted and 32 recommended, in association with the American law institute, by 33 the national conference of commissioners on uniform state laws 34 (NCCUSL), also known as the uniform law commission (ULC), which 35 -19- LSB 5461SC (5) 84 da/rj 19/ 27

S.F. _____ includes Iowa members appointed by the governor (Code chapter 1 5). In 2000, the general assembly substantially amended 2 Article 9 in conformance with the NCCUSL’s 1998 recommended 3 revisions (2000 Iowa Acts, ch. 1149). This bill provides for 4 further revisions to the revised Article 9 again as recommended 5 by the NCCUSL. 6 GENERAL PROVISIONS —— DEFINITIONS (CODE SECTION 554.9102). 7 The bill changes definitional provisions, including terms 8 related to records produced or stored in an electronic format 9 including the authentication of records and certificates of 10 title. 11 DEFINITIONS —— AUTHENTICATION. The bill amends the 12 definition of “authenticate” to include attaching or logically 13 associating an electronic sound, symbol, or process with a 14 record. 15 DEFINITIONS —— CERTIFICATE OF TITLE. The law defines 16 “record” as information inscribed on a tangible medium or 17 stored in an electronic or other medium that can be retrieved 18 in a perceivable form. The bill amends the definition of 19 “certificate of title” to include a record maintained as an 20 alternative to a certificate of title by the issuing government 21 unit. 22 DEFINITIONS —— PUBLIC ORGANIC RECORD. The bill creates a 23 new definition for a “public organic record” to mean one of 24 three items: (1) a record available for public inspection that 25 is initially filed with or issued by a state or the federal 26 government to form an organization; (2) an organic record of 27 a business trust initially filed with a state or which amends 28 that record; or (3) a record consisting of federal or state 29 legislation that forms an organization. 30 DEFINITIONS —— REGISTERED ORGANIZATION. Under current law, 31 a “registered organization” is formed solely under state or 32 federal law for which the state or federal government must 33 maintain a public record. The bill provides that a registered 34 organization is formed in one of three ways: (1) by filing 35 -20- LSB 5461SC (5) 84 da/rj 20/ 27

S.F. _____ a public organic record under state or federal law, (2) the 1 issuance of a public organic record by a state or the federal 2 government, or (3) pursuant to state or federal legislation. 3 The bill specifies that this expressly includes a business 4 trust (e.g., a so-called Massachusetts business trust) formed 5 under a state law that requires public organic records to be 6 filed with the state (e.g., secretary of state). 7 ELECTRONIC CHATTEL PAPER (CODE SECTION 554.9105). A 8 chattel paper transaction involves a written agreement in 9 which a seller or lessor transfers possession and control of 10 property to another while retaining a security interest or 11 lease interest in the property. The writing evidencing the 12 debt constitutes chattel paper. Under current law, a security 13 interest is perfected by control of the paper, and the UCC 14 sets forth a six-factor test to determine if a secured party 15 has control of electronic chattel paper. The bill retains the 16 six-factor test but allows a secured party to establish control 17 by using a system that reliably establishes the secured party 18 as the person to whom the chattel paper was assigned. 19 PERFECTION AND PRIORITY —— LOCATION OF A DEBTOR (CODE 20 SECTION 554.9307). This provision applies to either a 21 registered organization formed under the laws of the United 22 States or a branch or agency of a bank that is not organized 23 under the law of the United States or a state. A registered 24 organization can designate its state of location in a manner 25 described in federal law. The bill provides that when 26 referenced in federal law, a registered organization’s “main 27 office” or “home office” means the organization’s location (for 28 purposes of filing a financing statement). 29 PERFECTION AND PRIORITY —— PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST 30 IN PROPERTY (CODE SECTION 554.9311). The bill makes changes to 31 conform with the bill’s revised definition of “certificate of 32 title” (See Code section 554.9101 as amended in the bill). 33 PERFECTION AND PRIORITY —— EFFECT OF CHANGE IN GOVERNING 34 LAW (CODE SECTION 554.9316). The bill provides protection 35 -21- LSB 5461SC (5) 84 da/rj 21/ 27

S.F. _____ for a secured party whose security interest in after-acquired 1 property would become unperfected if the debtor relocated to 2 another jurisdiction (e.g., state). Under current law, by 3 comparison, a security interest that attached to collateral 4 prior to a debtor’s move to another jurisdiction remains 5 perfected for four months after the move. The four-month 6 grace period is limited to collateral in which the security 7 party’s interest was perfected at the time that the debtor’s 8 location changed. The bill adds the same grace period for 9 the after-acquired property. It provides that the security 10 interest attaches within the four-month period if the secured 11 party does whatever would have been necessary to perfect the 12 security interest in the original jurisdiction. The collateral 13 remains perfected for the four-month period. The secured party 14 may continue perfection beyond the four-month period by filing 15 a financing statement or otherwise perfecting under the law 16 of the new jurisdiction. Similarly, the rule applies to a 17 security interest in after-acquired property if a new debtor 18 becomes bound by the original debtor’s security agreement and 19 the new debtor is located in a different jurisdiction from the 20 jurisdiction in which the original debtor was located. 21 PERFECTION AND PRIORITY —— INTERESTS THAT TAKE PRIORITY OVER 22 OR TAKE FREE OF SECURITY INTERESTS (CODE SECTION 554.9317). 23 Currently, a licensee of general intangible property or a buyer 24 (other than a secured party) takes free of a security interest 25 if the licensee or buyer gives value without knowledge of a 26 security interest before the security interest is perfected. 27 The bill strikes the list of types of property subject to this 28 exclusion (accounts, electronic chattel paper, electronic 29 documents, general intangibles, or investment property other 30 than a certificated security) and provides that the licensee 31 or buyer takes free of an unperfected security in collateral 32 other than tangible chattel paper, tangible documents, goods, 33 instruments, or a certificated security. 34 PERFECTION AND PRIORITY —— PRIORITY OF SECURITY INTERESTS 35 -22- LSB 5461SC (5) 84 da/rj 22/ 27

S.F. _____ CREATED BY A NEW DEBTOR (CODE SECTION 554.9326). The current 1 law provides for contests involving priority that may arise 2 when a new debtor becomes bound by a security agreement of an 3 original debtor and each debtor has a secured creditor. The 4 bill makes changes to correspond to a change made in the bill 5 to Code section 554.9316. It provides for the subordinate 6 position of a secured party who has a security interest in the 7 original debtor’s collateral and who has filed a financing 8 statement against the new debtor in a different jurisdiction, 9 but the financing statement would not otherwise be sufficient 10 to obtain priority. 11 RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES —— PAYMENT INTANGIBLES AND 12 PROMISSORY NOTES (CODE SECTIONS 554.9406 AND 554.9408). Two 13 similar provisions are affected. Both relate to a term 14 restricting an assignment in an agreement between an account 15 debtor and an assignor or in a promissory note. 16 RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES —— GENERAL PROVISION (CODE 17 SECTION 554.9406). The first section applies generally to 18 accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, and promissory 19 notes, by making such a term ineffective (Code section 20 554.9406). However, an exception applies to the sale of a 21 payment intangible or promissory note. Under the bill, this 22 exception does not apply when the sale is under a disposition 23 of collateral after default (Code section 554.9610) or on 24 acceptance of collateral in full or partial satisfaction of 25 obligation (Code section 554.9620). 26 RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES —— SPECIFIC PROVISION (CODE SECTION 27 554.9408). The second section applies to restrict but not 28 prohibit the assignment of a general intangible, health care 29 insurance receivable, or promissory note. Under current law, 30 a qualifying restriction applies to a security interest in a 31 payment intangible or promissory note only if the security 32 interest arises out of a sale of the payment intangible or 33 promissory note. The bill amends this qualification, again 34 to provide that it does not apply to a security interest that 35 -23- LSB 5461SC (5) 84 da/rj 23/ 27

S.F. _____ arises out of a sale under a disposition of collateral after 1 default or on acceptance of collateral in full or partial 2 satisfaction of obligation. 3 FILING —— NAME OF DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY (CODE SECTIONS 4 554.9502, 554.9503, AND 554.9507). The current law provides 5 when a financing statement sufficiently provides the correct 6 name of a debtor. The bill provides that for a registered 7 organization, the name of the debtor is sufficient if it 8 matches the name on the public organic record most recently 9 filed in the jurisdiction of organization. In addition, 10 the bill adopts the so-called model Act’s “Alternative A”, 11 sometimes known as the “only-if” rule which requires the 12 financing statement to include the name of the debtor as it 13 appears on the debtor’s unexpired driver’s license. In lieu of 14 the driver’s license information, a variation of the current 15 rule applies. Specifically, the financing statement must use 16 the debtor’s legal name or debtor’s surname and first personal 17 name. 18 FILING —— DURATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF A FINANCING 19 STATEMENT FOR TRANSMITTING UTILITIES (CODE SECTION 554.9515). 20 Under current law, a financing statement listing a transmitting 21 utility as a debtor does not lapse but continues until the 22 secured party files a termination statement. The bill requires 23 that the designation of a debtor as a transmitting utility must 24 be made on the initial financing statement. 25 FILING —— WHAT CONSTITUTES FILING —— EFFECTIVENESS OF FILING 26 (CODE SECTION 554.9516). The bill eliminates a requirement 27 that certain information about a debtor that is an organization 28 must be stated on a financing statement. The secretary 29 of state is not required to reject a financing statement 30 because it fails to list type of organization, jurisdiction of 31 organization, and organizational identification number. 32 FILING —— CLAIM CONCERNING INACCURATE OR WRONGFULLY FILED 33 RECORD (CODE SECTION 554.9518). Currently, a person may file 34 a statement correcting an incorrect statement on record (a 35 -24- LSB 5461SC (5) 84 da/rj 24/ 27

S.F. _____ so-called UCC-5 Correction Statement) without legal effect. 1 The bill renames this document as an “information statement” 2 and provides that a secured party may also file such statement. 3 It adopts the model Act’s 1998 Alternative A version, by 4 eliminating a provision in current law that requires the 5 statement to include the date and time that the initial 6 financing statement was filed or recorded. 7 FILING —— COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF A MORTGAGE INTEREST 8 OUTSIDE FORECLOSURE (CODE SECTION 554.9607). Under current 9 law, a secured party may enforce a mortgage (e.g., securing 10 a promissory note) pursuant to a nonjudicial proceeding 11 (foreclosure sale) in part by recording the security agreement 12 and affidavit in the place where the mortgage is recorded. The 13 affidavit must include a provision verifying that a default 14 has occurred. The bill provides that the affidavit must 15 verify that the default involved an obligation secured by the 16 mortgage. 17 TRANSITION PROVISIONS —— GENERAL. The bill provides for the 18 scope and application of its provisions, including by referring 19 to its effective date (Code section 554.9801) and including a 20 general savings clause (Code section 554.9802). Generally, 21 the transition provisions detail the requirements of secured 22 parties that acquired or perfected a security interest prior 23 to the bill’s effective date (pre-effective-date) including by 24 filing a pre-effective-date financing statement in this state 25 or another jurisdiction (state) and specifying the necessary 26 requirements to comply with the bill’s provisions on and after 27 its effective date. 28 TRANSITION PROVISIONS —— SECURITY INTERESTS. The bill 29 provides that a pre-effective-date security interest remains 30 effective on and after the bill’s effective date, unless it 31 fails to satisfy the bill’s requirements with a one-year grace 32 period provided (Code section 554.9803). A pre-effective-date 33 unperfected security interest will become perfected upon 34 the effective date if it satisfies the bill’s perfection 35 -25- LSB 5461SC (5) 84 da/rj 25/ 27

S.F. _____ requirements. Otherwise, it will remain unperfected until the 1 bill’s perfection requirements are satisfied (Code section 2 554.9804). 3 TRANSITION PROVISION —— EFFECTIVENESS OF FINANCING 4 AND CONTINUATION STATEMENTS. The bill provides that a 5 pre-effective-date financing statement continues in effect 6 as long as it satisfies the bill’s requirements and other 7 provisions applicable to such financing statements. It 8 also provides that a financing statement filed in another 9 jurisdiction may remain effective for as long as it would 10 remain effective in the other jurisdiction or June 30, 2018 11 whichever is earlier (Code section 554.9805). The bill 12 provides that the filing of an initial financing statement may 13 continue the effectiveness of a pre-effective-date financing 14 statement rather than a continuation statement that would 15 otherwise be filed (Code section 554.9806). Generally, a 16 financing statement is effective for five years or until it 17 lapses (Code section 554.9515). The bill provides for the 18 amendment or termination of a pre-effective-date financing 19 statement (Code section 554.9807). A person may file an 20 initial financing statement or a continuation statement to 21 the extent authorized by the secured party and the filing is 22 necessary to comply with the bill’s transition provisions 23 (Code section 554.9808). The bill expressly states that its 24 provisions govern relative priorities of conflicting claims, 25 except to the extent that the priorities were established 26 before the bill’s effective date. 27 HEADNOTE CHANGE. The bill expressly amends a section’s 28 headnote to comply with codification requirements provided in 29 Code section 3.3. 30 REPEAL OF TRANSITION PROVISION. The bill repeals existing 31 transition provisions enacted in 2000 Iowa Acts, chapter 1149, 32 and transition provisions included in the bill. The repeals 33 take effect July 1, 2017, when such provisions will be out of 34 date. The bill includes a general savings clause. 35 -26- LSB 5461SC (5) 84 da/rj 26/ 27
