- (c) The local law of the jurisdiction in which a security certificate is located at the time of delivery governs whether
an adverse claim can be asserted against a person to whom the security certificate is delivered.
- (d) The following rules determine a securities intermediary's jurisdiction for purposes of this section:
- (1) if an agreement between the securities intermediary and its entitlement holder governing the securities account
expressly provides that a particular jurisdiction is the securities intermediary's jurisdiction for purposes of AS 45.08.101
- 45.08.116, this chapter, or this code, that
jurisdiction is the securities intermediary's jurisdiction;
- (2) if (1) of this subsection does not apply and an agreement between the securities intermediary and its entitlement
holder governing the securities account expressly provides that the agreement is governed by the law of a particular
jurisdiction, that jurisdiction is the securities intermediary's jurisdiction;
- (3) if neither (1) nor (2) of this subsection applies and an agreement between the securities intermediary and its
entitlement holder governing the securities account expressly provides specifies that the securities account is
maintained at an office in a particular jurisdiction, that jurisdiction is the securities intermediary's jurisdiction;
- (4) if none of the preceding paragraphs of this subsection applies, the securities intermediary's jurisdiction is the
jurisdiction in which the office identified in an account statement as the office serving the entitlement holder's
account is located;
- (5) if none of the preceding paragraphs of this subsection applies, the securities intermediary's jurisdiction is the
jurisdiction in which the chief executive office of the securities intermediary is located.
- (e) A securities intermediary's jurisdiction is not determined by the physical location of certificates representing
financial assets, by the jurisdiction in which is organized the issuer of the financial asset with respect to which an
entitlement holder has a security entitlement, or by the location of facilities for data processing or other record
keeping concerning the account.
- (f) In this chapter, "issuer's jurisdiction" means the jurisdiction under which the issuer of the security is organized
or, if permitted by the law of that jurisdiction, the law of another jurisdiction specified by the issuer. An issuer
organized under the law of this state may specify the law of another jurisdiction as the law governing the matters
specified in (a)(2) - (5) of this section.
