Question
Debtor: Pacific Gate Constructors, Inc. borrows from StoneBridge Finance, LLC. The loan is secured by a security interest in Debtor's funds held in a Performance Escrow Account at Bank Crest. A Control Agreement is executed among Debtor, Bank Crest, and StoneBridge, providing that Bank Crest will honor StoneBridge's instructions regarding the escrow account and will not permit withdrawals by Debtor without StoneBridge's directive. Debtor defaults, and Bank Crest complies with StoneBridge's directives, preventing any withdrawal by Debtor. (a) Has StoneBridge's security interest been perfected by control? (b) State the governing rule and the essential elements for perfection by control under RA 11057. (c) If Debtor terminates the escrow arrangement at Bank Crest and opens a new escrow arrangement at Bank Summit, what is the effect on StoneBridge’s control and perfection, and what steps are necessary to preserve perfection?
