over other liens; attachment on filing with secretary of state. A. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the creation, perfection and enforcement of a security interest in energy transition property to secure the repayment of the principal of and interest on energy transition bonds, amounts payable pursuant to an ancillary agreement and other financing costs are governed by this section. This section shall be deemed to supersede the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code [Chapter 55 NMSA 1978] and Chapter 62, Article 13 NMSA 1978, to the extent those provisions are inconsistent with this section. B. The description or reference to energy transition property in a transfer or security agreement and a financing statement is sufficient only if the description or reference refers to the Energy Transition Act and the financing order creating the energy transition property. This section applies to all purported transfers of, grants of liens on or security interests in, energy transition property. C. A security interest in energy transition property is created, valid and binding at the latest of when: (1) the financing order is issued; (2) a security agreement is executed and delivered; or (3) value is received for the energy transition bonds. D. The security interest attaches without any physical delivery of collateral or other act and the lien of the security interest shall be valid, binding and perfected against all parties having claims of any kind against the person granting the security interest, regardless of whether such parties have notice of the lien, on the filing of a financing statement with the secretary of state. The secretary of state shall maintain the financing statement in the same manner and in the same recordkeeping system maintained for financing statements filed pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code-Secured Transactions [Chapter 55, Article 9 NMSA 1978]. Financing statements filed pursuant to this section shall be effective until a termination statement is filed. E. A security interest in energy transition property is a continuously perfected security interest and has priority over any other lien that may subsequently attach to the energy transition property unless the holder of the security interest has agreed in writing otherwise. F. The priority of a security interest in energy transition property is not affected by the commingling of energy transition revenues with other funds. Any pledgee or secured party shall have a perfected security interest in the amount of all energy transition revenues that are deposited in any account of the qualifying utility and any other security interest that may apply to those funds shall be terminated when they are transferred to a segregated account for the assignee or a financing party. G. No order of the commission amending a financing order and no application of the adjustment mechanism shall affect the validity, perfection or priority of a security interest in or transfer of energy transition property.
