Amendment SSA1-SB9

SB9-SSA1,103,21 (a) The encumbrancer or owner has, in an authenticated record, consented to the security interest or disclaimed an interest in the goods as fixtures; or

SB9-SSA1,103,23 (b) The debtor has a right to remove the goods as against the encumbrancer or owner.

SB9-SSA1,104,3 (7) Continuation of sub. (6) priority. The priority of the security interest under sub. (6) (b) continues for a reasonable time if the debtor's right to remove the goods as against the encumbrancer or owner terminates.

SB9-SSA1,104,12 (8) Priority of construction mortgage. A mortgage is a construction mortgage to the extent that it secures an obligation incurred for the construction of an improvement on land, including the acquisition cost of the land, if a recorded record of the mortgage so indicates. Except as otherwise provided in subs. (5) and (6), a security interest in fixtures is subordinate to a construction mortgage if a record of the mortgage is recorded before the goods become fixtures and the goods become fixtures before the completion of the construction. A mortgage has this priority to the same extent as a construction mortgage to the extent that it is given to refinance a construction mortgage.

SB9-SSA1,104,16 (9) Priority of security interest in crops. A perfected security interest in crops growing on real property has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if the debtor has an interest of record in or is in possession of the real property.

SB9-SSA1,104,19 409.335 Accessions. (1) Creation of security interest in accession. A security interest may be created in an accession and continues in collateral that becomes an accession.

SB9-SSA1,104,22 (2) Perfection of security interest. If a security interest is perfected when the collateral becomes an accession, the security interest remains perfected in the collateral.

SB9-SSA1,104,25 (3) Priority of security interest. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (4), the other provisions of this subchapter determine the priority of a security interest in an accession.

SB9-SSA1,105,4 (4) Compliance with certificate-of-title statute. A security interest in an accession is subordinate to a security interest in the whole which is perfected by compliance with the requirements of a certificate-of-title statute under s. 409.311 (2).

SB9-SSA1,105,8 (5) Removal of accession after default. After default, subject to subch. VI, a secured party may remove an accession from other goods if the security interest in the accession has priority over the claims of every person having an interest in the whole.

SB9-SSA1,105,17 (6) Reimbursement following removal. A secured party that removes an accession from other goods under sub. (5) shall promptly reimburse any holder of a security interest or other lien on, or owner of, the whole or of the other goods, other than the debtor, for the cost of repair of any physical injury to the whole or the other goods. The secured party need not reimburse the holder or owner for any diminution in value of the whole or the other goods caused by the absence of the accession removed or by any necessity for replacing it. A person entitled to reimbursement may refuse permission to remove an accession until the secured party gives adequate assurance for the performance of the obligation to reimburse.

SB9-SSA1,105,20 409.336 Commingled goods. (1) Commingled goods. In this section, "commingled goods" means goods that are physically united with other goods in such a manner that their identity is lost in a product or mass.

SB9-SSA1,105,23 (2) No security interest in commingled goods as such. A security interest does not exist in commingled goods as such. However, a security interest may attach to a product or mass that results when goods become commingled goods.

SB9-SSA1,105,25 (3) Attachment of security interest to product or mass. If collateral becomes commingled goods, a security interest attaches to the product or mass.

SB9-SSA1,106,3 (4) Perfection of security interest. If a security interest in collateral is perfected before the collateral becomes commingled goods, the security interest that attaches to the product or mass under sub. (3) is perfected.

SB9-SSA1,106,6 (5) Priority of security interest. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (6), the other provisions of this subchapter determine the priority of a security interest that attaches to the product or mass under sub. (3).

SB9-SSA1,106,9 (6) Conflicting security interests in product or mass. If more than one security interest attaches to the product or mass under sub. (3), the following rules determine priority:

SB9-SSA1,106,12 (a) A security interest that is perfected under sub. (4) has priority over a security interest that is unperfected at the time the collateral becomes commingled goods.

SB9-SSA1,106,15 (b) If more than one security interest is perfected under sub. (4), the security interests rank equally in proportion to the value of the collateral at the time it became commingled goods.

SB9-SSA1,106,20 409.337 Priority of security interests in goods covered by certificate of title. If, while a security interest in goods is perfected by any method under the law of another jurisdiction, this state issues a certificate of title that does not show that the goods are subject to the security interest or contain a statement that they may be subject to security interests not shown on the certificate:

SB9-SSA1,106,24 (1) A buyer of the goods, other than a person in the business of selling goods of that kind, takes free of the security interest if the buyer gives value and receives delivery of the goods after issuance of the certificate and without knowledge of the security interest; and

SB9-SSA1,107,4 (2) The security interest is subordinate to a conflicting security interest in the goods that attaches, and is perfected under s. 409.311 (2), after issuance of the certificate and without the conflicting secured party's knowledge of the security interest.

SB9-SSA1,107,9 409.338 Priority of security interest or agricultural lien perfected by filed financing statement providing certain incorrect information. If a security interest or agricultural lien is perfected by a filed financing statement providing information described in s. 409.516 (2) (e) which is incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed:

SB9-SSA1,107,13 (1) The security interest or agricultural lien is subordinate to a conflicting perfected security interest in the collateral to the extent that the holder of the conflicting security interest gives value in reasonable reliance upon the incorrect information; and

SB9-SSA1,107,18 (2) A purchaser, other than a secured party, of the collateral takes free of the security interest or agricultural lien to the extent that, in reasonable reliance upon the incorrect information, the purchaser gives value and, in the case of chattel paper, documents, goods, instruments, or a security certificate, receives delivery of the collateral.

SB9-SSA1,107,20 409.339 Priority subject to subordination. This chapter does not preclude subordination by agreement by a person entitled to priority.

SB9-SSA1,107,25 409.340 Effectiveness of right of recoupment or setoff against deposit account. (1) Exercise of recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (3), a bank with which a deposit account is maintained may exercise any right of recoupment or setoff against a secured party that holds a security interest in the deposit account.

SB9-SSA1,108,4 (2) Recoupment or setoff not affected by security interest. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (3), the application of this chapter to a security interest in a deposit account does not affect a right of recoupment or setoff of the secured party as to a deposit account maintained with the secured party.

SB9-SSA1,108,8 (3) When setoff ineffective. The exercise by a bank of a setoff against a deposit account is ineffective against a secured party that holds a security interest in the deposit account which is perfected by control under s. 409.104 (1) (c), if the setoff is based on a claim against the debtor.

SB9-SSA1,108,12 409.341 Bank's rights and duties with respect to deposit account. Except as otherwise provided in s. 409.340 (3), and unless the bank otherwise agrees in an authenticated record, a bank's rights and duties with respect to a deposit account maintained with the bank are not terminated, suspended, or modified by:

SB9-SSA1,108,14 (1) The creation, attachment, or perfection of a security interest in the deposit account;

SB9-SSA1,108,15 (2) The bank's knowledge of the security interest; or

SB9-SSA1,108,16 (3) The bank's receipt of instructions from the secured party.

SB9-SSA1,108,22 409.342 Bank's right to refuse to enter into or disclose existence of control agreement. This chapter does not require a bank to enter into an agreement of the kind described in s. 409.104 (1) (b), even if its customer so requests or directs. A bank that has entered into such an agreement is not required to confirm the existence of the agreement to another person unless requested to do so by its customer.

SB9-SSA1,108,24 subchapter IV RIGHTS OF 3RD PARTIES

SB9-SSA1,109,4 409.401 Alienability of debtor's rights. (1) Other law governs alienability; exceptions. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (2) and ss. 409.406, 409.407, 409.408, and 409.409, whether a debtor's rights in collateral may be voluntarily or involuntarily transferred is governed by law other than this chapter.

SB9-SSA1,109,7 (2) Agreement does not prevent transfer. An agreement between the debtor and secured party which prohibits a transfer of the debtor's rights in collateral or makes the transfer a default does not prevent the transfer from taking effect.

SB9-SSA1,109,11 409.402 Secured party not obligated on contract of debtor or in tort. The existence of a security interest, agricultural lien, or authority given to a debtor to dispose of or use collateral, without more, does not subject a secured party to liability in contract or tort for the debtor's acts or omissions.

SB9-SSA1,109,13 409.403 Agreement not to assert defenses against assignee. (1) Value. In this section, "value" has the meaning provided in s. 403.303 (1).

SB9-SSA1,109,17 (2) Agreement not to assert claim or defense. Except as otherwise provided in this section, an agreement between an account debtor and an assignor not to assert against an assignee any claim or defense that the account debtor may have against the assignor is enforceable by an assignee that takes an assignment:

SB9-SSA1,109,18 (a) For value;

SB9-SSA1,109,19 (b) In good faith;

SB9-SSA1,109,21 (c) Without notice of a claim of a property or possessory right to the property assigned; and

SB9-SSA1,109,24 (d) Without notice of a defense or claim in recoupment of the type that may be asserted against a person entitled to enforce a negotiable instrument under s. 403.305 (1).

SB9-SSA1,110,3 (3) When sub. (2) not applicable. Subsection (2) does not apply to defenses of a type that may be asserted against a holder in due course of a negotiable instrument under s. 403.305 (2).

SB9-SSA1,110,8 (4) Omission of required statement in consumer transaction. In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account debtor's obligation, law other than this chapter requires that the record include a statement to the effect that the rights of an assignee are subject to claims or defenses that the account debtor could assert against the original obligee, and the record does not include such a statement:

SB9-SSA1,110,10 (a) The record has the same effect as if the record had included such a statement; and

SB9-SSA1,110,12 (b) The account debtor may assert against an assignee those claims and defenses that would have been available if the record had included such a statement.

SB9-SSA1,110,16 (5) Rule for individual under other law. This section is subject to law other than this chapter which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

SB9-SSA1,110,19 (6) Other law not displaced. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (4), this section does not displace law other than this chapter which gives effect to an agreement by an account debtor not to assert a claim or defense against an assignee.

SB9-SSA1,110,23 409.404 Rights acquired by assignee; claims and defenses against assignee. (1) Assignee's rights subject to terms, claims, and defenses; exceptions. Unless an account debtor has made an enforceable agreement not to assert defenses or claims, and subject to subs. (2) to (5), the rights of an assignee are subject to:

SB9-SSA1,111,3 (a) All terms of the agreement between the account debtor and assignor and any defense or claim in recoupment arising from the transaction that gave rise to the contract; and

SB9-SSA1,111,6 (b) Any other defense or claim of the account debtor against the assignor which accrues before the account debtor receives a notification of the assignment authenticated by the assignor or the assignee.

SB9-SSA1,111,10 (2) Account debtor's claim reduces amount owed to assignee. Subject to sub. (3) and except as otherwise provided in sub. (4), the claim of an account debtor against an assignor may be asserted against an assignee under sub. (1) only to reduce the amount the account debtor owes.

SB9-SSA1,111,14 (3) Rule for individual under other law. This section is subject to law other than this chapter which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

SB9-SSA1,111,22 (4) Omission of required statement in consumer transaction. In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account debtor's obligation, law other than this chapter requires that the record include a statement to the effect that the account debtor's recovery against an assignee with respect to claims and defenses against the assignor may not exceed amounts paid by the account debtor under the record, and the record does not include such a statement, the extent to which a claim of an account debtor against the assignor may be asserted against an assignee is determined as if the record had included such a statement.

SB9-SSA1,111,24 (5) Inapplicability to health care insurance receivable. This section does not apply to an assignment of a health care insurance receivable.

SB9-SSA1,112,6 409.405 Modification of assigned contract. (1) Effect of modification on assignee. A modification of or substitution for an assigned contract is effective against an assignee if made in good faith. The assignee acquires corresponding rights under the modified or substituted contract. The assignment may provide that the modification or substitution is a breach of contract by the assignor. This subsection is subject to subs. (2) to (4).

SB9-SSA1,112,7 (2) Applicability of sub. (1). Subsection (1) applies to the extent that:

SB9-SSA1,112,9 (a) The right to payment or a part thereof under an assigned contract has not been fully earned by performance; or

SB9-SSA1,112,12 (b) The right to payment or a part thereof has been fully earned by performance and the account debtor has not received notification of the assignment under s. 409.406 (1).

SB9-SSA1,112,16 (3) Rule for individual under other law. This section is subject to law other than this chapter which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

SB9-SSA1,112,18 (4) Inapplicability to health care insurance receivable. This section does not apply to an assignment of a health care insurance receivable.

SB9-SSA1,113,4 409.406 Discharge of account debtor; notification of assignment; identification and proof of assignment; restrictions on assignment of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, and promissory notes ineffective. (1) Discharge of account debtor; effect of notification. Subject to subs. (2) to (9), an account debtor on an account, chattel paper, or a payment intangible may discharge its obligation by paying the assignor until, but not after, the account debtor receives a notification, authenticated by the assignor or the assignee, that the amount due or to become due has been assigned and that payment is to be made to the assignee. After receipt of the notification, the account debtor may discharge its obligation by paying the assignee and may not discharge the obligation by paying the assignor.

SB9-SSA1,113,6 (2) When notification ineffective. Subject to sub. (8), notification is ineffective under sub. (1):

SB9-SSA1,113,7 (a) If it does not reasonably identify the rights assigned;

SB9-SSA1,113,10 (b) To the extent that an agreement between an account debtor and a seller of a payment intangible limits the account debtor's duty to pay a person other than the seller and the limitation is effective under law other than this chapter; or

SB9-SSA1,113,13 (c) At the option of an account debtor, if the notification notifies the account debtor to make less than the full amount of any installment or other periodic payment to the assignee, even if:

SB9-SSA1,113,15 1. Only a portion of the account, chattel paper, or payment intangible has been assigned to that assignee;

SB9-SSA1,113,16 2. A portion has been assigned to another assignee; or

SB9-SSA1,113,17 3. The account debtor knows that the assignment to that assignee is limited.

SB9-SSA1,113,22 (3) Proof of assignment. Subject to sub. (8), if requested by the account debtor, an assignee shall seasonably furnish reasonable proof that the assignment has been made. Unless the assignee complies, the account debtor may discharge its obligation by paying the assignor, even if the account debtor has received a notification under sub. (1).

SB9-SSA1,114,2 (4) Term restricting assignment generally ineffective. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (5) and ss. 409.407 and 411.303, and subject to sub. (8), a term in an agreement between an account debtor and an assignor or in a promissory note is ineffective to the extent that it:

SB9-SSA1,114,6 (a) Prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of the account debtor or person obligated on the promissory note to the assignment or transfer of, or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in, the account, chattel paper, payment intangible, or promissory note; or

SB9-SSA1,114,10 (b) Provides that the assignment or transfer or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of the security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy under the account, chattel paper, payment intangible, or promissory note.

(8) and (9), a rule of law, statute, or rule that prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of a government, governmental body or official, or account debtor to the assignment or transfer of, or creation of a security interest in, an account or chattel paper is ineffective to the extent that the rule of law, statute, or rule:

SB9-SSA1,114,22 (a) Prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of the government, governmental body or official, or account debtor to the assignment or transfer of, or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in, the account or chattel paper; or

SB9-SSA1,115,2 (b) Provides that the assignment or transfer or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of the security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy under the account or chattel paper.

Except as otherwise provided in sub. (2), a term in a lease agreement is ineffective to the extent that it:

SB9-SSA1,115,18 (a) Prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of a party to the lease to the assignment or transfer of, or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in, an interest of a party under the lease contract or in the lessor's residual interest in the goods; or

SB9-SSA1,115,22 (b) Provides that the assignment or transfer or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of the security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy under the lease.

SB9-SSA1,115,24 (2) Effectiveness of certain terms. Except as otherwise provided in s. 411.303 (7), a term described in sub. (1) (b) is effective to the extent that there is:

SB9-SSA1,116,2 (a) A transfer by the lessee of the lessee's right of possession or use of the goods in violation of the term; or

SB9-SSA1,116,4 (b) A delegation of a material performance of either party to the lease contract in violation of the term.

SB9-SSA1,116,12 (3) Security interest not material impairment. The creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in the lessor's interest under the lease contract or the lessor's residual interest in the goods is not a transfer that materially impairs the lessee's prospect of obtaining return performance or materially changes the duty of or materially increases the burden or risk imposed on the lessee within the purview of s. 411.303 (4) unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually results in a delegation of material performance of the lessor.
