LR 1087
Item 1

 
choose the law of one jurisdiction to govern perfection and
priority of security interests and a different governing law for
other purposes. The parties' choice is effective, even if the
jurisdiction whose law is chosen bears no relationship to the
parties or the transaction. Section 8-110(e)(1) has been
conformed to subsection (b)(1) [Maine cite subsection (2),
paragraph (a)] of this section, and Section 9-305(b)(1) [Maine
cite section 9-1305, subsection (2), paragraph (a)], concerning a
commodity intermediary's jurisdiction, makes a similar departure
from former Section 9-103(6)(e)(i).

 
3. Change in Law Governing Perfection. When the bank's
jurisdiction changes, the jurisdiction whose law governs
perfection under subsection (a) [Maine cite subsection (1)]
changes, as well. Nevertheless, the change will not result in an
immediate loss of perfection. See Section 9-316(f), (g) [Maine
cite section 9-1316, subsection (6), subsection (7)].

(c)__The local law of the securities intermediary's
jurisdiction as specified in section 8-1110, subsection 1,
paragraph (e) governs perfection, the effect of perfection
or nonperfection and the priority of a security interest in
a security entitlement or securities account.
