HB5303 Engrossed- 14 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

21the contract for breach by the other and its effect is the same
22as that of "termination" except that the cancelling party also
23retains any remedy for breach of the whole contract or any
24unperformed balance.
25    (5) "Hybrid transaction" means a single transaction

9contract for the sale of goods for the price of $500 or more is
10not enforceable by way of action or defense unless there is a
11record some writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for
12sale has been made between the parties and signed by the party
13against whom enforcement is sought or by the party's his
14authorized agent or broker. A record writing is not
15insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term
16agreed upon but the contract is not enforceable under this
17subsection paragraph beyond the quantity of goods shown in the
18record such writing.
19    (2) Between merchants if within a reasonable time a record
20writing in confirmation of the contract and sufficient against
21the sender is received and the party receiving it has reason to
22know its contents, it satisfies the requirements of subsection
23(1) against the such party unless written notice in a record of
24objection to its contents is given within 10 days after it is
25received.

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 17 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1    (3) A contract which does not satisfy the requirements of
2subsection (1) but which is valid in other respects is
3enforceable
4        (a) if the goods are to be specially manufactured for
5    the buyer and are not suitable for sale to others in the
6    ordinary course of the seller's business and the seller,
7    before notice of repudiation is received and under
8    circumstances which reasonably indicate that the goods are
9    for the buyer, has made either a substantial beginning of
10    their manufacture or commitments for their procurement; or
11        (b) if the party against whom enforcement is sought
12    admits in his pleading, testimony or otherwise in court

11negotiable instrument and a check.
12    (d) A promise or order other than a check is not an
13instrument if, at the time it is issued or first comes into
14possession of a holder, it contains a conspicuous statement,
15however expressed, to the effect that the promise or order is
16not negotiable or is not an instrument governed by this
17Article.
18    (e) An instrument is a "note" if it is a promise and is a
19"draft" if it is an order. If an instrument falls within the
20definition of both "note" and "draft", a person entitled to
21enforce the instrument may treat it as either.
22    (f) "Check" means (i) a draft, other than a documentary
23draft, payable on demand and drawn on a bank or (ii) a
24cashier's check or teller's check. An instrument may be a
25check even though it is described on its face by another term,
26such as "money order".

21        (1) the first delivery of an instrument by the maker
22    or drawer, whether to a holder or nonholder, for the

1    the drawer to the payee of an image of an item and
2    information derived from the item that enables the
3    depositary bank to collect the item by transferring or
4    presenting under federal law an electronic check.
5    (b) An unissued instrument, or an unissued incomplete
6instrument that is completed, is binding on the maker or
7drawer, but nonissuance is a defense. An instrument that is
8conditionally issued or is issued for a special purpose is
9binding on the maker or drawer, but failure of the condition or
10special purpose to be fulfilled is a defense.
11    (c) "Issuer" applies to issued and unissued instruments
12and means a maker or drawer of an instrument.

19    or certified check.
20        (2) "Claimant" means a person who claims the right to
21    receive the amount of a cashier's check, teller's check,
22    or certified check that was lost, destroyed, or stolen.
23        (3) "Declaration of loss" means a written statement,
24    made under penalty of perjury, to the effect that (i) the
25    declarer lost possession of a check, (ii) the declarer is

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 37 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1    the drawer or payee of the check, in the case of a
2    certified check, or the remitter or payee of the check, in
3    the case of a cashier's check or teller's check, (iii) the
4    loss of possession was not the result of a transfer by the
5    declarer or of a lawful seizure, and (iv) the declarer
6    cannot reasonably obtain possession of the check because
7    the check was destroyed, its whereabouts cannot be
8    determined, or it is in the wrongful possession of an
9    unknown person or a person that cannot be found or is not
10    amenable to service of process.
11        (4) "Obligated bank" means the issuer of a cashier's
12    check or teller's check or the acceptor of a certified
13    check.
14    (b) A claimant may assert a claim to the amount of a check
15by a communication to the obligated bank describing the check
16with reasonable certainty and requesting payment of the amount
17of the check, if (i) the claimant is the drawer or payee of a
18certified check or the remitter or payee of a cashier's check
19or teller's check, (ii) the communication contains or is
20accompanied by a declaration of loss of the claimant with
21respect to the check, (iii) the communication is received at a
22time and in a manner affording the bank a reasonable time to
23act on it before the check is paid, and (iv) the claimant

26warranty of the truth of the statements made in the

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 38 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1declaration. If a claim is asserted in compliance with this
2subsection, the following rules apply:
3        (1) The claim becomes enforceable at the later of (i)
4    the time the claim is asserted, or (ii) the 90th day
5    following the date of the check, in the case of a cashier's
6    check or teller's check, or the 90th day following the
7    date of the acceptance, in the case of a certified check.
8        (2) Until the claim becomes enforceable, it has no
9    legal effect and the obligated bank may pay the check or,
10    in the case of a teller's check, may permit the drawee to
11    pay the check. Payment to a person entitled to enforce the
12    check discharges all liability of the obligated bank with
13    respect to the check.
14        (3) If the claim becomes enforceable before the check
15    is presented for payment, the obligated bank is not
16    obliged to pay the check.
17        (4) When the claim becomes enforceable, the obligated
18    bank becomes obliged to pay the amount of the check to the
19    claimant if payment of the check has not been made to a
20    person entitled to enforce the check. Subject to Section
21    4-302(a)(1), payment to the claimant discharges all
22    liability of the obligated bank with respect to the check.
23    (c) If the obligated bank pays the amount of a check to a
24claimant under subsection (b)(4) and the check is presented
25for payment by a person having rights of a holder in due
26course, the claimant is obliged to (i) refund the payment to

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 39 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1the obligated bank if the check is paid, or (ii) pay the amount
2of the check to the person having rights of a holder in due
3course if the check is dishonored.
4    (d) If a claimant has the right to assert a claim under
5subsection (b) and is also a person entitled to enforce a
6cashier's check, teller's check, or certified check that is
7lost, destroyed, or stolen, the claimant may assert rights
8with respect to the check either under this Section or Section
93-309.

5such as surrender of the instrument to the party, destruction,
6mutilation, or cancellation of the instrument, cancellation or
7striking out of the party's signature, or the addition of
8words to the instrument indicating discharge, or (ii) by

13extracted from the check and an image of the check is made and,
14subsequently, the information and image are transmitted for

22    (a) In this Article:
23        (1) "Payment order" means an instruction of a sender
24    to a receiving bank, transmitted orally or in a record,
25    electronically, or in writing, to pay, or to cause another

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 41 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1    bank to pay, a fixed or determinable amount of money to a
2    beneficiary if:
3            (i) the instruction does not state a condition to
4        payment to the beneficiary other than time of payment,
5            (ii) the receiving bank is to be reimbursed by
6        debiting an account of, or otherwise receiving payment
7        from, the sender, and
8            (iii) the instruction is transmitted by the sender
9        directly to the receiving bank or to an agent, funds
10        transfer system, or communication system for
11        transmittal to the receiving bank.
12        (2) "Beneficiary" means the person to be paid by the
13    beneficiary's bank.
14        (3) "Beneficiary's bank" means the bank identified in
15    a payment order in which an account of the beneficiary is
16    to be credited pursuant to the order or which otherwise is
17    to make payment to the beneficiary if the order does not
18    provide for payment to an account.
19        (4) "Receiving bank" means the bank to which the
20    sender's instruction is addressed.
21        (5) "Sender" means the person giving the instruction
22    to the receiving bank.
23    (b) If an instruction complying with subsection (a)(1) is
24to make more than one payment to a beneficiary, the
25instruction is a separate payment order with respect to each
26payment.

5    Sec. 4A-201. Security procedure. "Security procedure"
6means a procedure established by agreement of a customer and a
7receiving bank for the purpose of (i) verifying that a payment
8order or communication amending or cancelling a payment order
9is that of the customer, or (ii) detecting error in the
10transmission or the content of the payment order or
11communication. A security procedure may impose an obligation
12on the receiving bank or the customer and may require the use
13of algorithms or other codes, identifying words, or numbers,
14symbols, sounds, biometrics, encryption, callback procedures,
15or similar security devices. Comparison of a signature on a
16payment order or communication with an authorized specimen
17signature of the customer or requiring a payment order to be
18sent from a known email address, IP address, or telephone
19number is not by itself a security procedure.

23    (a) A payment order received by the receiving bank is the
24authorized order of the person identified as sender if that

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 43 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1person authorized the order or is otherwise bound by it under
2the law of agency.
3    (b) If a bank and its customer have agreed that the
4authenticity of payment orders issued to the bank in the name
5of the customer as sender will be verified pursuant to a
6security procedure, a payment order received by the receiving
7bank is effective as the order of the customer, whether or not
8authorized, if (i) the security procedure is a commercially
9reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized
10payment orders, and (ii) the bank proves that it accepted the
11payment order in good faith and in compliance with the bank's
12obligations under the security procedure and any written
13agreement or instruction of the customer, evidenced by a
14record, restricting acceptance of payment orders issued in the
15name of the customer. The bank is not required to follow an
16instruction that violates an a written agreement with the
17customer, evidenced by a record, or notice of which is not
18received at a time and in a manner affording the bank a
19reasonable opportunity to act on it before the payment order
20is accepted.
21    (c) Commercial reasonableness of a security procedure is a
22question of law to be determined by considering the wishes of
23the customer expressed to the bank, the circumstances of the
24customer known to the bank, including the size, type, and
25frequency of payment orders normally issued by the customer to
26the bank, alternative security procedures offered to the

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 44 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1customer, and security procedures in general use by customers
2and receiving banks similarly situated. A security procedure
3is deemed to be commercially reasonable if (i) the security
4procedure was chosen by the customer after the bank offered,
5and the customer refused, a security procedure that was
6commercially reasonable for that customer, and (ii) the
7customer expressly agreed in a record writing to be bound by
8any payment order, whether or not authorized, issued in its
9name and accepted by the bank in compliance with the bank's
10obligations under the security procedure chosen by the
11customer.
12    (d) The term "sender" in this Article includes the
13customer in whose name a payment order is issued if the order
14is the authorized order of the customer under subsection (a),
15or it is effective as the order of the customer under
16subsection (b).
17    (e) This Section applies to amendments and cancellations
18of payment orders to the same extent it applies to payment
19orders.
20    (f) Except as provided in this Section and in Section
214A-203(a)(1), rights and obligations arising under this
22Section or Section 4A-203 may not be varied by agreement.

7    record, the receiving bank may limit the extent to which
8    it is entitled to enforce or retain payment of the payment
9    order.
10        (2) The receiving bank is not entitled to enforce or
11    retain payment of the payment order if the customer proves
12    that the order was not caused, directly or indirectly, by
13    a person (i) entrusted at any time with duties to act for
14    the customer with respect to payment orders or the
15    security procedure, or (ii) who obtained access to
16    transmitting facilities of the customer or who obtained,
17    from a source controlled by the customer and without
18    authority of the receiving bank, information facilitating
19    breach of the security procedure, regardless of how the
20    information was obtained or whether the customer was at
21    fault. Information includes any access device, computer

3    (a) Subject to subsection (b), if, in a payment order
4received by the beneficiary's bank, the name, bank account
5number, or other identification of the beneficiary refers to a
6nonexistent or unidentifiable person or account, no person has
7rights as a beneficiary of the order and acceptance of the
8order cannot occur.
9    (b) If a payment order received by the beneficiary's bank
10identifies the beneficiary both by name and by an identifying
11or bank account number and the name and number identify
12different persons, the following rules apply:
13        (1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), if
14    the beneficiary's bank does not know that the name and
15    number refer to different persons, it may rely on the
16    number as the proper identification of the beneficiary of
17    the order. The beneficiary's bank need not determine
18    whether the name and number refer to the same person.
19        (2) If the beneficiary's bank pays the person
20    identified by name or knows that the name and number
21    identify different persons, no person has rights as
22    beneficiary except the person paid by the beneficiary's
23    bank if that person was entitled to receive payment from
24    the originator of the funds transfer. If no person has
25    rights as beneficiary, acceptance of the order cannot
26    occur.

1    (c) If (i) a payment order described in subsection (b) is
2accepted, (ii) the originator's payment order described the
3beneficiary inconsistently by name and number, and (iii) the
4beneficiary's bank pays the person identified by number as
5permitted by subsection (b)(1), the following rules apply:
6        (1) If the originator is a bank, the originator is
7    obligated to pay its order.
8        (2) If the originator is not a bank and proves that the
9    person identified by number was not entitled to receive
10    payment from the originator, the originator is not obliged
11    to pay its order unless the originator's bank proves that
12    the originator, before acceptance of the originator's
13    order, had notice that payment of a payment order issued
14    by the originator might be made by the beneficiary's bank
15    on the basis of an identifying or bank account number
16    event if it identifies a person different from the named
17    beneficiary. Proof of notice may be made by any admissible
18    evidence. The originator's bank satisfies the burden of as
19    proof if it proves that the originator, before the payment
20    order was accepted, signed a record writing stating the
21    information to which the notice relates.
22    (d) In a case governed by subsection (b)(1), if the
23beneficiary's bank rightfully pays the person identified by
24number and that person was not entitled to receive payment
25from the originator, the amount paid may be recovered from
26that person to the extent allowed by the law governing mistake

4    right to recover.
5        (2) If the originator is not a bank and is not

10    Sec. 4A-208. Misdescription of intermediary bank or
11beneficiary's bank.
12    (a) This subsection applies to a payment order identifying
13an intermediary bank or the beneficiary's bank only by an
14identifying number.
15        (1) The receiving bank may rely on the number as the
16    proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's
17    bank and need not determine whether the number identifies
18    a bank.
19        (2) The sender is obliged to compensate the receiving
20    bank for any loss and expenses incurred by the receiving
21    bank as a result of its reliance on the number in executing
22    or attempting to execute the order.
23    (b) This subsection applies to a payment order identifying
24an intermediary bank or the beneficiary's bank both by name
25and an identifying number if the name and number identify

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 49 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1different persons.
2        (1) If the sender is a bank, the receiving bank may
3    rely on the number as the proper identification of the
4    intermediary or beneficiary's bank if the receiving bank,
5    when it executes the sender's order, does not know that
6    the name and number identify different persons. The
7    receiving bank need not determine whether the name and
8    number refer to the same person or whether the number
9    refers to a bank. The sender is obliged to compensate the
10    receiving bank for any loss and expenses incurred by the
11    receiving bank as a result of its reliance on the number in
12    executing or attempting to execute the order.
13        (2) If the sender is not a bank and the receiving bank
14    proves that the sender, before the payment order was
15    accepted, had notice that the receiving bank might rely on
16    the number as the proper identification of the
17    intermediary or beneficiary's bank even if it identifies a
18    person different from the bank identified by name, the
19    rights and obligations of the sender and the receiving
20    bank are governed by subsection (b)(1), as though the
21    sender were a bank. Proof of notice may be made by any
22    admissible evidence. The receiving bank satisfies the
23    burden of proof if it proves that the sender, before the
24    payment order was accepted, signed a record writing
25    stating the information to which the notice relates.
26        (3) Regardless of whether the sender is a bank, the

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 50 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1    receiving bank may rely on the name as the proper
2    identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's bank
3    if the receiving bank, at the time it executes the
4    sender's order, does not know that the name and number
5    identify different persons. The receiving bank need not
6    determine whether the name and number refer to the same
7    person.
8        (4) If the receiving bank knows that the name and
9    number identify different persons, reliance on either the
10    name or the number in executing the sender's payment order
11    is a breach of the obligation stated in Section
12    4A-302(a)(1).

16    (a) A payment order is rejected by the receiving bank by a
17notice of rejection transmitted to the sender orally,
18electronically, or in a record writing. A notice of rejection
19need not use any particular words and is sufficient if it
20indicates that the receiving bank is rejecting the order or
21will not execute or pay the order. Rejection is effective when
22the notice is given if transmission is by a means that is
23reasonable in the circumstances. If notice of rejection is
24given by a means that is not reasonable, rejection is
25effective when the notice is received. If an agreement of the

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 51 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1sender and receiving bank establishes the means to be used to
2reject a payment order, (i) any means complying with the
3agreement is reasonable and (ii) any means not complying is
4not reasonable unless no significant delay in receipt of the
5notice resulted from the use of the noncomplying means.
6    (b) This subsection applies if a receiving bank other than
7the beneficiary's bank fails to execute a payment order
8despite the existence on the execution date of a withdrawable
9credit balance in an authorized account of the sender
10sufficient to cover the order. If the sender does not receive
11notice of rejection of the order on the execution date and the
12authorized account of the sender does not bear interest, the

4    (a) A communication of the sender of a payment order
5cancelling or amending the order may be transmitted to the
6receiving bank orally, electronically, or in a record writing.
7If a security procedure is in effect between the sender and the
8receiving bank, the communication is not effective to cancel
9or amend the order unless the communication is verified
10pursuant to the security procedure or the bank agrees to the
11cancellation or amendment.
12    (b) Subject to subsection (a), a communication by the
13sender cancelling or amending a payment order is effective to
14cancel or amend the order if notice of the communication is
15received at a time and in a manner affording the receiving bank
16a reasonable opportunity to act on the communication before
17the bank accepts the payment order.
18    (c) After a payment order has been accepted, cancellation
19or amendment of the order is not effective unless the
20receiving bank agrees or a funds transfer system rule allows
21cancellation or amendment without agreement of the bank.
22        (1) With respect to a payment order accepted by a
23    receiving bank other than the beneficiary's bank,
24    cancellation or amendment is not effective unless a

1    issued by the receiving bank is also made.
2        (2) With respect to a payment order accepted by the
3    beneficiary's bank, cancellation or amendment is not
4    effective unless the order was issued in execution of an
5    unauthorized payment order, or because of a mistake by a
6    sender in the funds transfer which resulted in the
7    issuance of a payment order (i) that is a duplicate of a
8    payment order previously issued by the sender, (ii) that
9    orders payment to a beneficiary not entitled to receive
10    payment from the originator, or (iii) that orders payment

22accepted payment order is canceled, the acceptance is
23nullified and no person has any right or obligation based on
24the acceptance. Amendment of a payment order is deemed to be
25cancellation of the original order at the time of amendment
26and issue of a new payment order in the amended form at the

1same time.
2    (f) Unless otherwise provided in an agreement of the
3parties or in a funds transfer system rule, if the receiving
4bank, after accepting a payment order, agrees to cancellation
5or amendment of the order by the sender or is bound by a funds
6transfer system rule allowing cancellation or amendment
7without the bank's agreement, the sender, whether or not
8cancellation or amendment is effective, is liable to the bank
9for any loss and expenses, including reasonable attorney's
10fees, incurred by the bank as a result of the cancellation or
11amendment or attempted cancellation or amendment.
12    (g) A payment order is not revoked by the death or legal
13incapacity of the sender unless the receiving bank knows of

15competent jurisdiction and has reasonable opportunity to act
16before acceptance of the order.
17    (h) A funds transfer system rule is not effective to the
18extent it conflicts with subsection (c)(2).

21secured party has control of electronic chattel paper if a
22system employed for evidencing the transfer of interests in
23the chattel paper reliably establishes the secured party as
24the person to which the chattel paper was assigned.

1    filing before the goods become fixtures or within 20 days
2    thereafter.
3    (e) Priority of security interest in fixtures over
4interests in real property. A perfected security interest in
5fixtures has priority over a conflicting interest of an
6encumbrancer or owner of the real property if:
7        (1) the debtor has an interest of record in the real
8    property or is in possession of the real property and the
9    security interest:
10            (A) is perfected by a fixture filing before the

7remove. A security interest in fixtures, whether or not
8perfected, has priority over a conflicting interest of an
9encumbrancer or owner of the real property if:

11    authenticated record, consented to the security interest
12    or disclaimed an interest in the goods as fixtures; or
13        (2) the debtor has a right to remove the goods as
14    against the encumbrancer or owner.
15    (g) Continuation of subsection (f)(2) priority. The

23or pay over for application the cash proceeds of disposition
24in the following order to:
25        (1) the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding,

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 202 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1    preparing for disposition, processing, and disposing, and,
2    to the extent provided for by agreement and not prohibited
3    by law, reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses
4    incurred by the secured party;
5        (2) the satisfaction of obligations secured by the
6    security interest or agricultural lien under which the
7    disposition is made;
8        (3) the satisfaction of obligations secured by any
9    subordinate security interest in or other subordinate lien
10    on the collateral if:
11            (A) the secured party receives from the holder of
12        the subordinate security interest or other lien a
13        signed an authenticated demand for proceeds before
14        distribution of the proceeds is completed; and
15            (B) in a case in which a consignor has an interest
16        in the collateral, the subordinate security interest
17        or other lien is senior to the interest of the
18        consignor; and
19        (4) a secured party that is a consignor of the
20    collateral if the secured party receives from the
21    consignor a signed an authenticated demand for proceeds
22    before distribution of the proceeds is completed.
23    (b) Proof of subordinate interest. If requested by a
24secured party, a holder of a subordinate security interest or
25other lien shall furnish reasonable proof of the interest or
26lien within a reasonable time. Unless the holder does so, the

1secured party need not comply with the holder's demand under
2subsection (a)(3).
3    (c) Application of noncash proceeds. A secured party need
4not apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of

6would be commercially unreasonable. A secured party that
7applies or pays over for application noncash proceeds shall do
8so in a commercially reasonable manner.
9    (d) Surplus or deficiency if obligation secured. If the
10security interest under which a disposition is made secures
11payment or performance of an obligation, after making the
12payments and applications required by subsection (a) and

14        (1) unless subsection (a)(4) requires the secured

21chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes:
22        (1) the debtor is not entitled to any surplus; and
23        (2) the obligor is not liable for any deficiency.
24    (f) Calculation of surplus or deficiency in disposition to

1proceeds that would have been realized in a disposition
2complying with this Part and described in subsection (f)(2) of
3this Section to a transferee other than the secured party, a
4person related to the secured party, or a secondary obligor

14    secondary obligor.
15    (g) Cash proceeds received by junior secured party. A

1    to the current disposition;
2        (5) the amount, in the aggregate or by type, and types

4    Sec. 9-619. Transfer of record or legal title.
5    (a) "Transfer statement." In this Section, "transfer
6statement" means a record signed authenticated by a secured
7party stating:
8        (1) that the debtor has defaulted in connection with
9    an obligation secured by specified collateral;
10        (2) that the secured party has exercised its
11    post-default remedies with respect to the collateral;
12        (3) that, by reason of the exercise, a transferee has
13    acquired the rights of the debtor in the collateral; and
14        (4) the name and mailing address of the secured party,
15    debtor, and transferee.
16    (b) Effect of transfer statement. A transfer statement
17entitles the transferee to the transfer of record of all
18rights of the debtor in the collateral specified in the
19statement in any official filing, recording, registration, or
20certificate-of-title system covering the collateral. If a
21transfer statement is presented with the applicable fee and
22request form to the official or office responsible for
23maintaining the system, the official or office shall:
24        (1) accept the transfer statement;
25        (2) promptly amend its records to reflect the

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 210 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1    transfer; and
2        (3) if applicable, issue a new appropriate certificate
3    of title in the name of the transferee.
4    (c) Transfer not a disposition; no relief of secured
5party's duties. A transfer of the record or legal title to
6collateral to a secured party under subsection (b) or
7otherwise is not of itself a disposition of collateral under
8this Article and does not of itself relieve the secured party
9of its duties under this Article.

12    Sec. 9-620. Acceptance of collateral in full or partial
13satisfaction of obligation; compulsory disposition of
14collateral.
15    (a) Conditions to acceptance in satisfaction. Except as
16otherwise provided in subsection (g), a secured party may
17accept collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the
18obligation it secures only if:
19        (1) the debtor consents to the acceptance under
20    subsection (c);
21        (2) the secured party does not receive, within the
22    time set forth in subsection (d), a notification of
23    objection to the proposal signed authenticated by:

25        required to send a proposal under Section 9-621; or

 

 

HB5303 Engrossed- 211 -LRB103 39305 SPS 69459 b

1            (B) any other person, other than the debtor,
2        holding an interest in the collateral subordinate to
3        the security interest that is the subject of the
4        proposal;
5        (3) if the collateral is consumer goods, the
6    collateral is not in the possession of the debtor when the
7    debtor consents to the acceptance; and
8        (4) subsection (e) does not require the secured party
9    to dispose of the collateral or the debtor waives the
10    requirement pursuant to Section 9-624.
11    (b) Purported acceptance ineffective. A purported or
12apparent acceptance of collateral under this Section is
13ineffective unless:
14        (1) the secured party consents to the acceptance in a

14of an action before the effective date of this amendatory Act
15of the 103rd General Assembly is sufficient for the
16enforceability of a security interest on the effective date of
