When a buyer controls an electronic copy of chattel paper

(a) A purchaser shall be deemed to have control of an authoritative electronic copy of a record evidencing chattel paper if a system employed for evidencing the assignment of interests in the chattel paper reliably establishes the purchaser as the person to which the authoritative electronic copy was assigned. (b) A system shall be deemed to satisfy subsection (a) if the record evidencing the chattel paper is created, stored, and assigned in a manner that: (1) A single authoritative copy of the record exists that is unique, identifiable, and, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (4), (5), and (6), unalterable; (2) The authoritative copy identifies the purchaser as the assignee of the record; (3) The authoritative copy is communicated to, and maintained by, the purchaser 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 purchaser; (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. (c) A system shall be deemed to satisfy subsection (a), and a purchaser shall be deemed to have control of an authoritative electronic copy of a record evidencing chattel paper, if the electronic copy, a record attached to, or logically associated with, the electronic copy, or a system in which the electronic copy is recorded: (1) Enables the purchaser to readily identify each electronic copy as either an authoritative copy or a nonauthoritative copy; (2) Enables the purchaser to readily identify itself in any way, including by name, identifying number, cryptographic key, office, or account number, as the assignee of the authoritative electronic copy; and (3) Gives the purchaser exclusive power, subject to subsection (d), to: (A) Prevent others from adding or changing an identified assignee of the authoritative electronic copy; and (B) Transfer control of the authoritative electronic copy. (d) Subject to subsection (e), a power shall be deemed exclusive under subsection (c)(3), regardless of whether: (1) The authoritative electronic copy; a record attached to, or logically associated with, the authoritative electronic copy; or a system in which the authoritative electronic copy is recorded, limits the use of the authoritative electronic copy or has a protocol programmed to cause a change, including a transfer or loss of control; or (2) The power is shared with another person. (e) A power of a purchaser shall not be deemed to be shared with another person under subsection (d)(2) and the purchaser's power shall not be deemed exclusive if: (1) The purchaser may exercise the power only if the power is also exercised by the other person; and (2) The other person: (A) May exercise the power without exercise of the power by the purchaser; or (B) Is the transferor to the purchaser of an interest in the chattel paper. (f) If a purchaser has the powers specified in subsection (c)(3), the powers shall be presumed to be exclusive. (g) A purchaser shall be deemed to have control of an authoritative electronic copy of a record evidencing chattel paper if another person, other than the transferor to the purchaser of an interest in the chattel paper: (1) Has control of the authoritative electronic copy and acknowledges that it has control on behalf of the purchaser; or (2) Obtains control of the authoritative electronic copy after having acknowledged that it will obtain control of the electronic copy on behalf of the purchaser.
