Arizona Secured Transactions Under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code: Forms and Practice Manual
Prominent Arizona attorney Douglas R. Chandler has drawn from his extensive experience to bring you a new edition of this practical, easy-to-use book, containing a comprehensive collection of all the current rules of Article 9, along with extensive commentaries on how they affect the forms and procedures used in Arizona today.
Important features and changes in the most recent update include:
- Updated and additional information and key reference material regarding the Hague Securities Convention’s effects on Articles 8 and 9 for any “securities held by an intermediary” when used as collateral (Sections 1.6 and 7.10).
- Corresponding changes and references regarding opinion letter practices as affected by adoption of the Hague Securities Convention (Section 15.2).
- Recognition of a new proposed PEB Commentary regarding consignments (Section 2.1.4).
- An expanded discussion regarding the use of “good forms” when drafting security agreements and related documentation, taking account of recent developments at the national level, largely spearheaded by the Business Law Section of the ABA (Section 2.8.4.1).
- Continuing to update evolving reference sources (Section 16.2).
- New or modified Forms, including:
- Three inter-related “Template” documents that address general collateral security agreements (modify to suit any given collateral mixture), equity interests as collateral, and intellectual property as collateral (see Section 2.8.4.1 and the prefaces to Forms 17-7A, 17-20A and 17-27A).
- Alternative or additional forms of First Preferred Ship Mortgage (Form 17-28A), expanded choice of law clauses as alternatives (Form 17-29), a Memorandum of Agreement for the Surface Transportation Board for Railroad Collateral (Form 17-44A), an expanded version of the latest Model Form of Account Control Agreement for Securities Account (Form 17-46) as well as a deal-based Securities Account Control Agreement (Form 17-46A), and some mobile/manufactured home related documentation.
