 (a) Effect of modification on assignee. A modification of or substitution for an assigned contract is effective against an assignee if made in good faith.

This section is subject to law other than this article 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.

V.I. Code tit. 11A, § 9-407 (2019)
2019 US Virgin Islands Code|Title 11A - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part 4 - Rights of Third Parties|§ 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 § 2A-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 § 2A-303(4) unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually results in a delegation of material performance of the lessor.

(b) Limitation on ineffectiveness under subsection (a). 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 article 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.

(c) Method of amending: general rule. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), if the law of this State governs perfection of a security interest, the information in a pre-effective-date financing statement may be amended after this article takes effect only if: (1) the pre-effective-date financing statement and an amendment are filed in the office specified in § 9–501; (2) an amendment is filed in the office specified in § 9–501 concurrently with, or after the filing in that office of, an initial financing statement that satisfies § 9–706(c); or (3) an initial financing statement that provides the information as amended and satisfies § 9–706(c) is filed in the office specified in § 9–501.

(e) Method of amending: additional termination rule. Whether or not the law of this State governs perfection of a security interest, the effectiveness of a pre-effective-date financing statement filed in this State may be terminated after this article takes effect by filing a termination statement in the office in which the pre-effective-date financing statement is filed, unless an initial financing statement that satisfies § 9–706(c) has been filed in the office specified by the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Part 3 as the office in which to file a financing statement.

 (a) Law governing priority. This article determines the priority of conflicting claims to collateral.
