GOVERNING LAW

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, the

a matter covered by this article.

(b) For a controllable electronic record that evidences a

record's jurisdiction under this section:

(1) If the controllable electronic record, or a record attached

particular jurisdiction is the controllable electronic record's

jurisdiction for purposes of this article or the Uniform Commercial

Code, that jurisdiction is the controllable electronic record's

jurisdiction.

(2) If paragraph (1) of this subsection does not apply and the

rules of the system in which the controllable electronic record is

recorded are readily available for review and expressly provide that
