§ 6A-9-404. Rights acquired by assignee; claims and defenses against assignee.(a) 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 subsections (b) through (e), the rights of an assignee are subject to:(1) 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(2) 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.(b) Account debtor's claim reduces amount owed to assignee. Subject to subsection (c) and except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), the claim of an account debtor against an assignor may be asserted against an assignee under subsection (a) only to reduce the amount the account debtor owes.(c) 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.(d) 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 included such a statement.(e) Inapplicability to health-care-insurance receivable. This section does not apply to an assignment of a health-care-insurance receivable.History of Section.P.L. 2000, ch. 182, § 6; P.L. 2000, ch. 420, § 6.

§ 6A-9-405. Modification of assigned contract.(a) Effect of modification on assignee.

§ 6A-9-407. Restrictions on creation or enforcement of security interest in leasehold interest or in lessor's residual interest.(a) Term restricting assignment generally ineffective. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), a term in a lease agreement is ineffective to the extent that it:(1) 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(2) 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.(b) Effectiveness of certain terms. Except as otherwise provided in § 6A-2.1-303(7), a term described in subsection (a)(2) is effective to the extent that there is:(1) A transfer by the lessee of the lessee's right of possession or use of the goods in violation of the term; or(2) A delegation of a material performance of either party to the lease contract in violation of the term.(c) 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 § 6A-2.1-303(4) unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually results in a delegation of material performance of the lessor.History of Section.P.L. 2000, ch. 182, § 6; P.L. 2000, ch. 420, § 6.

To the extent that a term in a letter of credit is ineffective under subsection (a) but would be effective under law other than this chapter or a custom or practice applicable to the letter of credit, to the transfer of a right to draw or otherwise demand performance under the letter of credit, or to the assignment of a right to proceeds of the letter of credit, the creation, attachment, or perfection of a security interest in the letter-of-credit right:(1) Is not enforceable against the applicant, issuer, nominated person, or transferee beneficiary;(2) Imposes no duties or obligations on the applicant, issuer, nominated person, or transferee beneficiary; and(3) Does not require the applicant, issuer, nominated person, or transferee beneficiary to recognize the security interest, pay or render performance to the secured party, or accept payment or other performance from the secured party.History of Section.P.L. 2000, ch. 182, § 6; P.L. 2000, ch. 420, § 6.

2021 Rhode Island General Laws|Title 6A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 6A-9 - Secured Transactions|Section 6A-9-505 - Filing and compliance with other statutes and treaties for consignments, leases, other bailments, and other transactions.

§ 6A-9-505. Filing and compliance with other statutes and treaties for consignments, leases, other bailments, and other transactions.(a) Use of terms other than "debtor" and "secured party." A consignor, lessor, or other bailor of goods, a licensor, or a buyer of a payment intangible or promissory note may file a financing statement, or may comply with a statute or treaty described in § 6A-9-311(a), using the terms "consignor", "consignee", "lessor", "lessee", "bailor", "bailee", "licensor", "licensee", "owner", "registered owner", "buyer", "seller", or words of similar import, instead of the terms "secured party" and "debtor".(b) Effect of financing statement under subsection (a). This part applies to the filing of a financing statement under subsection (a) and, as appropriate, to compliance that is equivalent to filing a financing statement under § 6A-9-311(b), but the filing or compliance is not of itself a factor in determining whether the collateral secures an obligation. If it is determined for another reason that the collateral secures an obligation, a security interest held by the consignor, lessor, bailor, licensor, owner, or buyer which attaches to the collateral is perfected by the filing or compliance.History of Section.P.L. 2000, ch. 182, § 6; P.L. 2000, ch. 420, § 6.

A financing statement substantially satisfying the requirements of this part is effective, even if it has minor errors or omissions, unless the errors or omissions make the financing statement seriously misleading.(b) Financing statement seriously misleading. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with § 6A-9-503(a) is seriously misleading.(c) Financing statement not seriously misleading. If a search of the records of the filing office under the debtor's correct name, using the filing office's standard search logic, if any, would disclose a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with § 6A-9-503(a), the name provided does not make the financing statement seriously misleading.(d)"Debtor's correct name." For purposes of § 6A-9-508(b), the "debtor's correct name" in subsection (c) means the correct name of the new debtor.History of Section.P.L. 2000, ch. 182, § 6; P.L. 2000, ch. 420, § 6.
