C.R.S.
Section 4-9-105
Control of electronic copy of record evidencing chattel paper
(a)
A purchaser has control of an authoritative electronic copy of a record evidencing chattel paper if a system employed for evidencing the assignment of interests in the chattel paper reliably establishes the purchaser as the person to which the authoritative electronic copy was assigned.(b)
A system satisfies subsection (a) of this section if the record or records evidencing the chattel paper are created, stored, and assigned in a manner that:(1)
A single authoritative copy of the record or records exists which is unique, identifiable, and, except as otherwise provided in subsections (a)(4), (a)(5), and (a)(6) of this section, unalterable;(2)
The authoritative copy identifies the purchaser as the assignee of the record or records;(3)
The authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the purchaser or its designated custodian;(4)
Copies or amendments that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can be made only with the consent of the purchaser;(5)
Each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy; and(6)
Any amendment of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as authorized or unauthorized.(c)
A system satisfies subsection (a) of this section, and a purchaser has control of an authoritative electronic copy of a record evidencing chattel paper, if the electronic copy, a record attached to or logically associated with the electronic copy, or a system in which the electronic copy is recorded:(1)
Enables the purchaser readily to identify each electronic copy as either an authoritative copy or a nonauthoritative copy;(2)
Enables the purchaser readily to identify itself in any way, including by name, identifying number, cryptographic key, office, or account number, as the assignee of the authoritative electronic copy; and(3)
Gives the purchaser exclusive power, subject to subsection (d) of this section, to:(A)
Prevent others from adding or changing an identified assignee of the authoritative electronic copy; and(B)
Transfer control of the authoritative electronic copy.(d)
Subject to subsection (e) of this section, a power is exclusive under subsections (c)(3)(A) and (c)(3)(B) of this section even if:(1)
The authoritative electronic copy, a record attached to or logically associated with the authoritative electronic copy, or a system in which the authoritative electronic copy is recorded limits the use of the authoritative electronic copy or has a protocol programmed to cause a change, including a transfer or loss of control; or(2)
The power is shared with another person.(e)
A power of a purchaser is not shared with another person under subsection (d)(2) of this section and the purchaser’s power is not exclusive if:(1)
The purchaser can exercise the power only if the power also is exercised by the other person; and(2)
The other person:(A)
Can exercise the power without exercise of the power by the purchaser; or(B)
Is the transferor to the purchaser of an interest in the chattel paper.(f)
If a purchaser has the powers specified in subsections (c)(3)(A) and (c)(3)(B) of this section, the powers are presumed to be exclusive.(g)
A purchaser has control of an authoritative electronic copy of a record evidencing chattel paper if another person, other than the transferor to the purchaser of an interest in the chattel paper:(1)
Has control of the authoritative electronic copy and acknowledges that it has control on behalf of the purchaser; or(2)
Obtains control of the authoritative electronic copy after having acknowledged that it will obtain control of the electronic copy on behalf of the purchaser.
