(1).  As used in this section, "creation of a security interest" includes the sale of a lease contract that is subject to Article 9‑A, section 9‑1109, subsection (1), paragraph (c).  

(2).  Except as provided in subsection (4) and section 9‑1407, a provision in a lease agreement that: prohibits the voluntary or involuntary transfer, including a transfer by sale, sublease, creation or enforcement of a security interest, or attachment, levy or other judicial process, of an interest of a party under the lease contract or of the lessor's residual interest in the goods; or makes such a transfer an event of default, gives rise to the rights and remedies provided in subsection (5), but a transfer that is prohibited or is an event of default under the lease agreement is otherwise effective.  

(3). 

(4).  A provision in a lease agreement that prohibits a transfer of a right to damages for default with respect to the whole lease contract or of a right to payment arising out of the transferor's due performance of the transferor's entire obligation, or makes such a transfer an event of default, is not enforceable, and such a transfer is not a transfer that materially impairs the prospect of obtaining return performance by, materially changes the duty of or materially increases the burden or risk imposed on, the other party to the lease contract within the purview of subsection (5).  

(5).  Subject to subsection (4) and section 9‑1407:  

(6).  A transfer of "the lease" or of "all my rights under the lease," or a transfer in similar general terms, is a transfer of rights and, unless the language or the circumstances, as in a transfer for security, indicate the contrary, the transfer is a delegation of duties by the transferor to the transferee. Acceptance by the transferee constitutes a promise by the transferee to perform those duties. The promise is enforceable by either the transferor or the other party to the lease contract.  

(7).  Unless otherwise agreed by the lessor and the lessee, a delegation of performance does not relieve the transferor as against the other party of any duty to perform or of any liability for default.  

(8).  In a consumer lease, to prohibit the transfer of an interest of a party under the lease contract or to make a transfer an event of default, the language must be specific, by a writing and conspicuous. The lessor's remedies with regard to a prohibited transfer or a transfer that results in default are subject to the duty of the lessor to mitigate damages.
