regulation, custom, or practice applicable to the letter of credit
which prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of an applicant,
issuer, or nominated person to a beneficiary’s assignment of or
creation of a security interest in a letter-of-credit right is
ineffective to the extent that the term or rule of law, statute,
regulation, custom, or practice:
(1)  would impair the creation, attachment, or perfection of a
security interest in the letter-of-credit right; or
(2)  provides that the assignment or the creation, attachment,
or perfection of the security interest may give rise to a default,
breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of
termination, or remedy under the letter-of-credit right.
(b)  To the extent that a term in a letter of credit is
ineffective under subsection (a) of this section but would be

applicable to the letter of credit, to the transfer of a right to

draw or otherwise demand performance under the letter of credit, or
to the assignment of a right to proceeds of the letter of credit,
the creation, attachment, or perfection of a security interest in
the letter-of-credit right:
(1)  is not enforceable against the applicant, issuer, nominated
person, or transferee beneficiary;
(2)  imposes no duties or obligations on the applicant, issuer,
nominated person, or transferee beneficiary; and
