(a) General rule.--A cooperative corporation may file any cooperative contract in the manner provided in section 7123 (relating to filing procedures) for the purpose of providing notice of its existence and contents as provided in subsection (b). If the corporation has substantially uniform cooperative contracts with more than one member, it may, in lieu of filing the original contracts, file:
(1) A true copy of the uniform contract; and
(2) A list or lists of the names and addresses of members who have executed the contract and the effective date of the contract as to each such member.
(b) Effect of filing.--Filing pursuant to section 7123 shall operate as constructive notice to all persons of the existence and contents of the cooperative contract. Any right, title, interest or lien created as to the products covered by the contract subsequent to such filing while such filing is in effect is subject to the right, title or interest of the cooperative corporation under the contract. If the member creates any mortgage upon or other security interest in any such products subsequent to the filing of the contract and if the member and the mortgagee or secured party jointly notify the corporation in writing of the existence and amount of the mortgage or other security interest, all payments which after such notice become due from the corporation to that member by reason of the sale or other handling of those products by the corporation shall be paid by the corporation to the mortgagee or other secured interest until the amount of the mortgage or the sum due the secured party has been paid, and the balance thereafter shall be paid to the member.
