30-9A-407. Restrictions on creation or enforcement of security interest in leasehold interest or in lessor's residual interest. (1) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2), a term in a lease agreement is ineffective to the extent that it:

(a) prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of a party to the lease to the assignment or transfer of, or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in, an interest of a party under the lease contract or in the lessor's residual interest in the goods; or

(b) provides that the assignment or transfer or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of the security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy under the lease.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in 30-2A-303(7), a term described in subsection (1)(b) is effective to the extent that there is:

(a) a transfer by the lessee of the lessee's right of possession or use of the goods in violation of the term; or

(b) a delegation of a material performance of either party to the lease contract in violation of the term.

(3) The creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in the lessor's interest under the lease contract or the lessor's residual interest in the goods 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 lessee within 30-2A-303(4). This subsection does not apply to the extent that enforcement results in a delegation of a material performance of the lessor.
