2. Scope and Purpose. Like Sections 9-208 and 9-513 [Maine
cite section 9-1208 and section 9-1513], which require a secured
party to relinquish control of collateral and to file or provide
a termination statement for a financing statement, this section
requires a secured party to free up collateral when there no
longer is any outstanding secured obligation or any commitment to
give value in the future. This section addresses the case in
which account debtors have been notified to pay a secured party
to whom the receivables have been assigned. It requires the
secured party (assignee) to inform the account debtors that they
no longer are obligated to make payment to the secured party.
See subsection (b) [Maine cite subsection (2)]. It does not
apply to account debtors whose obligations on an account, chattel
paper, or payment intangible have been sold. See subsection (c)
[Maine cite subsection (3)].
