10           that secures a purchase-money obligation incurred with
 
11           respect to that collateral; and
 
12      (2)  "Purchase-money obligation" means an obligation of an
 
13           obligor incurred as all or part of the price of the

16           value is in fact so used.
 
17      (b)  A security interest in goods is a purchase-money
 
18 security interest:
 
19      (1)  To the extent that the goods are purchase-money
 
20           collateral with respect to that security interest;
 
21      (2)  If the security interest is in inventory that is or was
 
22           purchase-money collateral, also to the extent that the
 
23           security interest secures a purchase-money obligation

 2           secured party holds or held a purchase-money security
 
 3           interest; and
 
 4      (3)  Also to the extent that the security interest secures a
 
 5           purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to
 
 6           software in which the secured party holds or held a
 
 7           purchase-money security interest.
 
 8      (c)  A security interest in software is a purchase-money
 
 9 security interest to the extent that the security interest also
 
10 secures a purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to
 
11 goods in which the secured party holds or held a purchase-money
 
12 security interest if:
 
13      (1)  The debtor acquired its interest in the software in an
 
14           integrated transaction in which it acquired an interest
 
15           in the goods; and
 
16      (2)  The debtor acquired its interest in the software for
 
17           the principal purpose of using the software in the
 
18           goods.

23 transaction, if the extent to which a security interest is a

 1 purchase-money security interest depends on the application of a
 
 2 payment to a particular obligation, the payment must be applied:
 
 3      (1)  In accordance with any reasonable method of application
 
 4           to which the parties agree;
 
 5      (2)  In the absence of the parties' agreement to a
 
 6           reasonable method, in accordance with any intention of
 
 7           the obligor manifested at or before the time of
 
 8           payment; or
 
 9      (3)  In the absence of an agreement to a reasonable method
 
10           and a timely manifestation of the obligor's intention,
 
11           in the following order:
 
12           (A)  To obligations that are not secured; and
 
13           (B)  If more than one obligation is secured, to
 
14                obligations secured by purchase-money security
 
15                interests in the order in which those obligations
 
16                were incurred.
 
17      (f)  In a transaction other than a consumer-goods
 
18 transaction, a purchase-money security interest does not lose its
 
19 status as such, even if:
 
20      (1)  The purchase-money collateral also secures an
 
21           obligation that is not a purchase-money obligation;
 
22      (2)  Collateral that is not purchase-money collateral also
 
23           secures the purchase-money obligation; or

 1      (3)  The purchase-money obligation has been renewed,
 
 2           refinanced, consolidated, or restructured.
 
 3      (g)  In a transaction other than a consumer-goods
 
 4 transaction, a secured party claiming a purchase-money security
 
 5 interest has the burden of establishing the extent to which the
 
 6 security interest is a purchase-money security interest.
 
 7      (h)  The limitation of the rules in subsections (e), (f),
 
 8 and (g) to transactions other than consumer-goods transactions is
 
 9 intended to leave to the court the determination of the proper
 
10 rules in consumer-goods transactions.  The court may not infer
 
11 from that limitation the nature of the proper rule in consumer-
 
12 goods transactions and may continue to apply established
 
13 approaches.

13 parties, against purchasers of the collateral, and against
 
14 creditors.
 
15      (b)  A transaction subject to this article is subject to:
 
16      (1)  Any applicable rule of law which establishes a
 
17           different rule for consumers;

19           rates, charges, agreements, and practices for loans,

 3 effect the statute or regulation specifies.
 
 4      (d)  This article does not:
 
 5      (1)  Validate any rate, charge, agreement, or practice that

 7           described in subsection (b); or
 
 8      (2)  Extend the application of the rule of law, statute, or

18 interest; proceeds; supporting obligations; formal requisites.
 
19 (a)  A security interest attaches to collateral when it becomes
 
20 enforceable against the debtor with respect to the collateral,
 
21 unless an agreement expressly postpones the time of attachment.
 
22      (b)  Except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) through
 
23 (i), a security interest is enforceable against the debtor and
 
24 third parties with respect to the collateral only if:

 1      (b)  A licensee in ordinary course of business takes its
 
 2 rights under a nonexclusive license free of a security interest
 
 3 in the general intangible created by the licensor, even if the
 
 4 security interest is perfected and the licensee knows of its
 
 5 existence.
 
 6      (c)  A lessee in ordinary course of business takes its
 
 7 leasehold interest free of a security interest in the goods

10      §490:9-322  Priorities among conflicting security interests
 
11 in and agricultural liens on same collateral.  (a)  Except as
 
12 otherwise provided in this section, priority among conflicting
 
13 security interests and agricultural liens in the same collateral
 
14 is determined according to the following rules:
 
15      (1)  Conflicting perfected security interests and
 
16           agricultural liens rank according to priority in time
 
17           of filing or perfection.  Priority dates from the
 
18           earlier of the time a filing covering the collateral is
 
19           first made or the security interest or agricultural
 
20           lien is first perfected, if there is no period
 
21           thereafter when there is neither filing nor perfection.
 
22      (2)  A perfected security interest or agricultural lien has
 
23           priority over a conflicting unperfected security
 
24           interest or agricultural lien.

 1      (3)  The first security interest or agricultural lien to
 
 2           attach or become effective has priority if conflicting
 
 3           security interests and agricultural liens are
 
 4           unperfected.
 
 5      (b)  For the purposes subsection (a)(1):
 
 6      (1)  The time of filing or perfection as to a security
 
 7           interest in collateral is also the time of filing or
 
 8           perfection as to a security interest in proceeds; and
 
 9      (2)  The time of filing or perfection as to a security
 
10           interest in collateral supported by a supporting
 
11           obligation is also the time of filing or perfection as
 
12           to a security interest in the supporting obligation.
 
13      (c)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f), a
 
14 security interest in collateral which qualifies for priority over
 
15 a conflicting security interest under section 490:9-327,
 
16 490:9-328, 490:9-329, 490:9-330, or 490:9-331 also has priority
 
17 over a conflicting security interest in:
 
18      (1)  Any supporting obligation for the collateral; and
 
19      (2)  Proceeds of the collateral if:
 
20           (A)  The security interest in proceeds is perfected;
 
21           (B)  The proceeds are cash proceeds or of the same type
 
22                as the collateral; and

 1           (C)  In the case of proceeds that are proceeds of
 
 2                proceeds, all intervening proceeds are cash
 
 3                proceeds, proceeds of the same type as the
 
 4                collateral, or an account relating to the
 
 5                collateral.
 
 6      (d)  Subject to subsection (e) and except as otherwise
 
 7 provided in subsection (f), if a security interest in chattel
 
 8 paper, deposit accounts, negotiable documents, instruments,
 
 9 investment property, or letter-of-credit rights is perfected by a
 
10 method other than filing, conflicting perfected security
 
11 interests in proceeds of the collateral rank according to
 
12 priority in time of filing.
 
13      (e)  Subsection (d) applies only if the proceeds of the
 
14 collateral are not cash proceeds, chattel paper, negotiable
 
15 documents, instruments, investment property, or letter-of-credit
 
16 rights.
 
17      (f)  Subsections (a) through (e) are subject to:

 3 statement covering the same types of livestock:
 
 4      (1)  If the purchase-money security interest is perfected by
 
 5           filing, before the date of the filing; or
 
 6      (2)  If the purchase-money security interest is temporarily
 
 7           perfected without filing or possession under section
 
 8           490:9-312(f), before the beginning of the twenty-day
 
 9           period thereunder.
 
10      (f)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (g), a

 6      §490:9-325  Priority of security interests in transferred
 
 7 collateral.  (a)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b),

 9 security interest in the same collateral created by another
 
10 person if:
 
11      (1)  The debtor acquired the collateral subject to the
 
12           security interest created by the other person;
 
13      (2)  The security interest created by the other person was
 
14           perfected when the debtor acquired the collateral; and
 
15      (3)  There is no period thereafter when the security
 
16           interest is unperfected.
 
17      (b)  Subsection (a) subordinates a security interest only if
 
18 the security interest:
 
19      (1)  Otherwise would have priority solely under section
 
20           490:9-322(a) or 490:9-324; or

 3 created by a new debtor which is perfected by a filed financing
 
 4 statement that is effective solely under section 490:9-508 in
 
 5 collateral in which a new debtor has or acquires rights is
 
 6 subordinate to a security interest in the same collateral which
 
 7 is perfected other than by a filed financing statement that is
 
 8 effective solely under section 490:9-508.
 
 9      (b)  The other provisions of this part determine the

11 collateral perfected by filed financing statements that are
 
12 effective solely under section 490:9-508.  However, if the
 
13 security agreements to which a new debtor became bound as debtor
 
14 were not entered into by the same original debtor, the
 
15 conflicting security interests rank according to priority in time
 
16 of the new debtor's having become bound.

 7 over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the

13                interest of the encumbrancer or owner is of
 
14                record; and
 
15           (B)  Has priority over any conflicting interest of a
 
16                predecessor in title of the encumbrancer or owner;
 
17      (2)  Before the goods become fixtures, the security interest
 
18           is perfected by any method permitted by this article
 
19           and the fixtures are readily removable:

13 perfected, has priority over a conflicting interest of an
 
14 encumbrancer or owner of the real property if:
 
15      (1)  The encumbrancer or owner has, in an authenticated
 
16           record, consented to the security interest or
 
17           disclaimed an interest in the goods as fixtures; or
 
18      (2)  The debtor has a right to remove the goods as against
 
19           the encumbrancer or owner.
 
20      (g)  The priority of the security interest under subsection
 
21 (f) continues for a reasonable time if the debtor's right to
 
22 remove the goods as against the encumbrancer or owner terminates.

 1      (h)  A mortgage is a construction mortgage to the extent
 
 2 that it secures an obligation incurred for the construction of an
 
 3 improvement on land, including the acquisition cost of the land,
 
 4 if a recorded record of the mortgage so indicates.  Except as
 
 5 otherwise provided in subsections (e) and (f), a security
 
 6 interest in fixtures is subordinate to a construction mortgage if
 
 7 a record of the mortgage is recorded before the goods become
 
 8 fixtures and the goods become fixtures before the completion of
 
 9 the construction.  A mortgage has this priority to the same
 
10 extent as a construction mortgage to the extent that it is given
 
11 to refinance a construction mortgage.
 
12      (i)  A perfected security interest in crops growing on real
 
13 property has priority over a conflicting interest of an
 
14 encumbrancer or owner of the real property if the debtor has an
 
15 interest of record in or is in possession of the real property.
 
16      §490:9-335  Accessions.  (a)  A security interest may be
 
17 created in an accession and continues in collateral that becomes
 
18 an accession.
 
19      (b)  If a security interest is perfected when the collateral
 
20 becomes an accession, the security interest remains perfected in
 
21 the collateral.
 
22      (c)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), the
 
23 other provisions of this part determine the priority of a
 
24 security interest in an accession.

                                                        C.D. 1

 
 1      (d)  A security interest in an accession is subordinate to a
 
 2 security interest in the whole which is perfected by compliance
 
 3 with the requirements of a certificate-of-title statute under
 
 4 section 490:9-311(b).
 
 5      (e)  After default, subject to part 6, a secured party may
 
 6 remove an accession from other goods if the security interest in
 
 7 the accession has priority over the claims of every person having
 
 8 an interest in the whole.
 
 9      (f)  A secured party that removes an accession from other
 
10 goods under subsection (e) shall promptly reimburse any holder of
 
11 a security interest or other lien on, or owner of, the whole or
 
12 of the other goods, other than the debtor, for the cost of repair
 
13 of any physical injury to the whole or the other goods.  The
 
14 secured party need not reimburse the holder or owner for any
 
15 diminution in value of the whole or the other goods caused by the
 
16 absence of the accession removed or by any necessity for
 
17 replacing it.  A person entitled to reimbursement may refuse
 
18 permission to remove until the secured party gives adequate
 
19 assurance for the performance of the obligation to reimburse.
 
20      §490:9-336  Commingled goods.  (a)  In this section,
 
21 "commingled goods" means goods that are physically united with
 
22 other goods in such a manner that their identity is lost in a
 
23 product or mass.

                                                        C.D. 1

 
 1      (b)  A security interest does not exist in commingled goods
 
 2 as such.  However, a security interest may attach to a product or
 
 3 mass that results when goods become commingled goods.
 
 4      (c)  If collateral becomes commingled goods, a security
 
 5 interest attaches to the product or mass.
 
 6      (d)  If a security interest in collateral is perfected
 
 7 before the collateral becomes commingled goods, the security
 
 8 interest that attaches to the product or mass under subsection
 
 9 (c) is perfected.
 
10      (e)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f), the
 
11 other provisions of this part determine the priority of a
 
12 security interest that attaches to the product or mass under
 
13 subsection (c).
 
14      (f)  If more than one security interest attaches to the
 
15 product or mass under subsection (c), the following rules
 
16 determine priority:
 
17      (1)  A security interest that is perfected under subsection
 
18           (d) has priority over a security interest that is
 
19           unperfected at the time the collateral becomes
 
20           commingled goods.
 
21      (2)  If more than one security interest is perfected under
 
22           subsection (d), the security interests rank equally in
 
23           proportion to value of the collateral at the time it
 
24           became commingled goods.

 1      §490:9-337  Priority of security interests in goods covered
 
 2 by certificate of title.  If, while a security interest in goods
 
 3 is perfected by any method under the law of another jurisdiction,
 
 4 this State issues a certificate of title that does not show that
 
 5 the goods are subject to the security interest or contain a
 
 6 statement that they may be subject to security interests not
 
 7 shown on the certificate:
 
 8      (1)  A buyer of the goods, other than a person in the
 
 9           business of selling goods of that kind, takes free of
 
10           the security interest if the buyer gives value and
 
11           receives delivery of the goods after issuance of the
 
12           certificate and without knowledge of the security
 
13           interest; and
 
14      (2)  The security interest is subordinate to a conflicting
 
15           security interest in the goods that attaches, and is
 
16           perfected under section 490:9-311(b), after issuance of
 
17           the certificate and without the conflicting secured
 
18           party's knowledge of the security interest.
 
19      §490:9-338  Priority of security interest or agricultural
 
20 lien perfected by filed financing statement providing certain
 
21 incorrect information.  If a security interest or agricultural
 
22 lien is perfected by a filed financing statement providing
 
23 information described in section 490:9-516(b)(5) which is
 
24 incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed:

 1      (1)  The security interest or agricultural lien is
 
 2           subordinate to a conflicting perfected security
 
 3           interest in the collateral to the extent that the
 
 4           holder of the conflicting security interest gives value
 
 5           in reasonable reliance upon the incorrect information;
 
 6           and
 
 7      (2)  A purchaser, other than a secured party, of the
 
 8           collateral takes free of the security interest or
 
 9           agricultural lien to the extent that, in reasonable
 
10           reliance upon the incorrect information, the purchaser
 
11           gives value and, in the case of chattel paper
 
12           documents, goods, instruments, or a security
 
13           certificate, receives delivery of the collateral.
 
14      §490:9-339  Priority subject to subordination.  This article

17                    SUBPART 4.  RIGHTS OF BANK
 
18      §490:9-340  Effectiveness of right of recoupment or set-off
 
19 against deposit account.  (a)  Except as otherwise provided in
 
20 subsection (c), a bank with which a deposit account is maintained
 
21 may exercise any right of recoupment or set-off against a secured
 
22 party that holds a security interest in the deposit account.

                                                        C.D. 1

 
 1      (b)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), the
 
 2 application of this article to a security interest in a deposit
 
 3 account does not affect a right of recoupment or set-off of the
 
 4 secured party as to a deposit account maintained with the secured
 
 5 party.
 
 6      (c)  The exercise by a bank of a set-off against a deposit
 
 7 account is ineffective against a secured party that holds a
 
 8 security interest in the deposit account which is perfected by
 
 9 control under section 490:9-104(a)(3), if the set-off is based on
 
10 a claim against the debtor.
 
11      §490:9-341  Bank's rights and duties with respect to deposit
 
12 account.  Except as otherwise provided in section 490:9-340(c),
 
13 and unless the bank otherwise agrees in an authenticated record,
 
14 a bank's rights and duties with respect to a deposit account
 
15 maintained with the bank are not terminated, suspended, or
 
16 modified by:
 
17      (1)  The creation, attachment, or perfection of a security
 
18           interest in the deposit account;
 
19      (2)  The bank's knowledge of the security interest; or
 
20      (3)  The bank's receipt of instructions from the secured
 
21           party.
 
22      §490:9-342  Bank's right to refuse to enter into or disclose
 
23 existence of control agreement.  This article does not require a

 1 bank to enter into an agreement of the kind described in section
 
 2 490:9-104(a)(2), even if its customer so requests or directs.  A
 
 3 bank that has entered into such an agreement is not required to
 
 4 confirm the existence of the agreement to another person unless
 
 5 requested to do so by its customer.
 
 6                 PART 4.  RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES
 
 7      §490:9-401  Alienability of debtor's rights.  (a)  Except as
 
 8 otherwise provided in subsection (b) and sections 490:9-406,
 
 9 490:9-407, 490:9-408, and 490:9-409, whether a debtor's rights in
 
10 collateral may be voluntarily or involuntarily transferred is
 
11 governed by law other than this article.
 
12      (b)  An agreement between the debtor and secured party which
 
13 prohibits a transfer of the debtor's rights in collateral or
 
14 makes the transfer a default does not prevent the transfer from
 
15 taking effect.
 
16      §490:9-402  Secured party not obligated on contract of
 
17 debtor or in tort.  The existence of a security interest,
 
18 agricultural lien, or authority given to a debtor to dispose of
 
19 or use collateral, without more, does not subject a secured party
 
20 to liability in contract or tort for the debtor's acts or
 
21 omissions.
 
22      §490:9-403  Agreement not to assert defenses against
 
23 assignee.  (a)  In this section, "value" has the meaning provided
 
24 in section 490:3-303(a).

 1      (b)  Except as otherwise provided in this section, an
 
 2 agreement between an account debtor and an assignor not to assert
 
 3 against an assignee any claim or defense that the account debtor
 
 4 may have against the assignor is enforceable by an assignee that
 
 5 takes an assignment:
 
 6      (1)  For value;
 
 7      (2)  In good faith;
 
 8      (3)  Without notice of a claim of a property or possessory
 
 9           right to the property assigned; and
 
10      (4)  Without notice of a defense or claim in recoupment of
 
11           the type that may be asserted against a person entitled
 
12           to enforce a negotiable instrument under section
 
13           490:3-305(a).
 
14      (c)  Subsection (b) does not apply to defenses of a type
 
15 that may be asserted against a holder in due course of a
 
16 negotiable instrument under section 490:3-305(b).
 
17      (d)  In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the
 
18 account debtor's obligation, law other than this article requires
 
19 that the record include a statement to the effect that the rights
 
20 of an assignee are subject to claims or defenses that the account
 
21 debtor could assert against the original obligee, and the record
 
22 does not include such a statement:

                                                        C.D. 1

 
 1      (1)  The record has the same effect as if the record
 
 2           included such a statement; and
 
 3      (2)  The account debtor may assert against an assignee those
 
 4           claims and defenses that would have been available if
 
 5           the record included such a statement.
 
 6      (e)  This section is subject to law other than this article
 
 7 which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is
 
 8 an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for
 
 9 personal, family, or household purposes.
 
10      (f)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), this
 
11 section does not displace law other than this article which gives
 
12 effect to an agreement by an account debtor not to assert a claim
 
13 or defense against an assignee.
 
14      §490:9-404  Rights acquired by assignee; claims and defenses
 
15 against assignee.  (a)  Unless an account debtor has made an
 
16 enforceable agreement not to assert defenses or claims, and
 
17 subject to subsections (b) through (e), the rights of an assignee
 
18 are subject to:
 
19      (1)  All terms of the agreement between the account debtor
 
20           and assignor and any defense or claim in recoupment
 
21           arising from the transaction that gave rise to the

 1      (2)  Any other defense or claim of the account debtor
 
 2           against the assignor which accrues before the account
 
 3           debtor receives a notification of the assignment
 
 4           authenticated by the assignor or the assignee.
 
 5      (b)  Subject to subsection (c) and except as otherwise
 
 6 provided in subsection (d), the claim of an account debtor
 
 7 against an assignor may be asserted against an assignee under
 
 8 subsection (a) only to reduce the amount the account debtor owes.
 
 9      (c)  This section is subject to law other than this article
 
10 which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is
 
11 an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for
 
12 personal, family, or household purposes.
 
13      (d)  In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the
 
14 account debtor's obligation, law other than this article requires
 
15 that the record include a statement to the effect that the
 
16 account debtor's recovery against an assignee with respect to
 
17 claims and defenses against the assignor may not exceed amounts
 
18 paid by the account debtor under the record, and the record does
 
19 not include such a statement, the extent to which a claim of an
 
20 account debtor against the assignor may be asserted against an
 
21 assignee is determined as if the record included such a
 
22 statement.

 1      (e)  This section does not apply to an assignment of a
 
 2 health-care-insurance receivable.
 
 3      §409:9-405  Modification of assigned contract.  (a)  A
 
 4 modification of or substitution for an assigned contract is
 
 5 effective against an assignee if made in good faith.  The
 
 6 assignee acquires corresponding rights under the modified or
 
 7 substituted contract.  The assignment may provide that the
 
 8 modification or substitution is a breach of contract by the
 
 9 assignor.  This subsection is subject to subsections (b) through
 
10 (d).
 
11      (b)  Subsection (a) applies to the extent that:
 
12      (1)  The right to payment or a part thereof under an
 
13           assigned contract has not been fully earned by

 2 the office in which to file a financing statement to perfect the
 
 3 security interest or agricultural lien is:
 
 4      (1)  The office designated for the filing or recording of a
 
 5           record of a mortgage on the related real property, if:
 
 6           (A)  The collateral is as-extracted collateral or
 
 7                timber to be cut; or
 
 8           (B)  The financing statement is filed as a fixture
 
 9                filing and the collateral is goods that are or are
 
10                to become fixtures; or
 
11      (2)  The bureau of conveyances, in all other cases including
 
12           a case in which the collateral is goods that are or are
 
13           to become fixtures and the financing statement is not
 
14           filed as a fixture filing.
 
15      (b)  The office in which to file a financing statement to
 
16 perfect a security interest in collateral, including fixtures, of
 
17 a transmitting utility is the bureau of conveyances.  The
 
18 financing statement also constitutes a fixture filing as to the
 
19 collateral indicated in the financing statement which is or is to
 
20 become fixtures.

 5           statement.
 
 6      (b)  Except as otherwise provided in section 490:9-501(b),
 
 7 to be sufficient, a financing statement that covers as-extracted
 
 8 collateral or timber to be cut, or which is filed as a fixture
 
 9 filing and covers goods that are or are to become fixtures, must
 
10 satisfy subsection (a) and also:

12      (2)  Indicate that it is to be filed for record in the real
 
13           property records;
 
14      (3)  Provide a description of the real property to which the
 
15           collateral is related; and
 
16      (4)  If the debtor does not have an interest of record in
 
17           the real property, provide the name of a record owner.
 
18      (c)  A record of a mortgage is effective, from the date of
 
19 recording, as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or
 
20 as a financing statement covering as-extracted collateral or
 
21 timber to be cut only if:
 
22      (1)  The record indicates the goods or accounts that it
 
23           covers;

 1      (2)  The goods are or are to become fixtures related to the
 
 2           real property described in the record or the collateral
 
 3           is related to the real property described in the record
 
 4           and is as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut;
 
 5      (3)  The record satisfies with the requirements for a
 
 6           financing statement in this section other than an
 
 7           indication that it is to be filed in the real property
 
 8           records; and
 
 9      (4)  The record is duly recorded.
 
10      (d)  A financing statement may be filed before a security
 
11 agreement is made or a security interest otherwise attaches.
 
12      §490:9-503  Name of debtor and secured party.  (a)  A
 
13 financing statement sufficiently provides the name of the debtor:
 
14      (1)  If the debtor is a registered organization, only if the
 
15           financing statement provides the name of the debtor
 
16           indicated on the public record of the debtor's
 
17           jurisdiction of organization which shows the debtor to
 
18           have been organized;
 
19      (2)  If the debtor is a decedent's estate, only if the
 
20           financing statement provides the name of the decedent
 
21           and indicates that the debtor is an estate;
 
22      (3)  If the debtor is a trust or a trustee acting with
 
23           respect to property held in trust, only if the
 
24           financing statement:

 1           (A)  Provides the name specified for the trust in its
 
 2                organic documents or, if no name is specified
 
 3                provides the name of the settlor and additional
 
 4                information sufficient to distinguish the debtor
 
 5                from other trusts having one or more of the same
 
 6                settlors; and
 
 7           (B)  Indicates, in the debtor's name or otherwise that
 
 8                the debtor is a trust or is a trustee acting with
 
 9                respect to property held in trust; and
 
10      (4)  In other cases:
 
11           (A)  If the debtor has a name, only if it provides the
 
12                individual or organizational name of the debtor;
 
13                and
 
14           (B)  If the debtor does not have a name, only if it
 
15                provides the names of the partners, members
 
16                associates, or other persons comprising the
 
17                debtor.
 
18      (b)  A financing statement that provides the name of the
 
19 debtor in accordance with subsection (a) is not rendered
 
20 ineffective by the absence of:
 
21      (1)  A trade name or other name of the debtor; or
 
22      (2)  Unless required under subsection (a)(4)(B), names of
 
23           partners, members, associates, or other persons
 
24           comprising the debtor.

 1      (c)  A financing statement that provides only the debtor's
 
 2 trade name does not sufficiently provide the name of the debtor.
 
 3      (d)  Failure to indicate the representative capacity of a
 
 4 secured party or representative of a secured party does not
 
 5 affect the sufficiency of a financing statement.
 
 6      (e)  A financing statement may provide the name of more than
 
 7 one debtor and the name of more than one secured party.
 
 8      §490:9-504  Indication of collateral.  A financing statement
 
 9 sufficiently indicates the collateral that it covers only if the
 
10 financing statement provides:
 
11      (1)  A description of the collateral pursuant to section
 
12           490:9-108; or
 
13      (2)  An indication that the financing statement covers all
 
14           assets or all personal property.
 
15      §490:9-505  Filing and compliance with other statutes and
 
16 treaties for consignments, leases, other bailments, and other
 
17 transactions.  (a)  A consignor, lessor, or other bailor of
 
18 goods, a licensor, or a buyer of a payment intangible or
 
19 promissory note may file a financing statement, or may comply
 
20 with a statute or treaty described in section 490:9-311(a), using
 
21 the terms "consignor", "consignee", "lessor", "lessee", "bailor",
 
22 "bailee", "licensor", "licensee", "owner", "registered owner",
 
23 "buyer", "seller", or words of similar import, instead of the
 
24 terms "secured party" and "debtor".

                                                        C.D. 1

 
 1      (b)  This part applies to the filing of a financing
 
 2 statement under subsection (a) and, as appropriate, to compliance
 
 3 that is equivalent to filing a financing statement under section
 
 4 490:9-311(b), but the filing or compliance is not of itself a
 
 5 factor in determining whether the collateral secures an
 
 6 obligation.  If it is determined for another reason that the
 
 7 collateral secures an obligation, a security interest held by the
 
 8 consignor, lessor, bailor, licensor, owner, or buyer which
 
 9 attaches to the collateral is perfected by the filing or
 
10 compliance.
 
11      §490:9-506  Effect of errors or omissions.  (a)  A financing
 
12 statement substantially satisfying the requirements of this part
 
13 is effective, even if it has minor errors or omissions, unless
 
14 the errors or omissions make the financing statement seriously
 
15 misleading.
 
16      (b)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), a
 
17 financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name
 
18 of the debtor in accordance with section 490:9-503(a) is
 
19 seriously misleading.
 
20      (c)  If a search of the records of the filing office under
 
21 the debtor's correct name, using the filing office's standard
 
22 search logic, if any, would disclose a financing statement that
 
23 fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in

 1 accordance with section 490:9-503(a), the name provided does not
 
 2 make the financing statement seriously misleading.
 
 3      (d)  For purposes of section 490:9-508(b), the "debtor's
 
 4 correct name" in subsection (c) means the correct name of the new
 
 5 debtor.
 
 6      §490:9-507  Effect of certain events on effectiveness of
 
 7 financing statement.  (a)  A filed financing statement remains
 
 8 effective with respect to collateral that is sold, exchanged,
 
 9 leased, licensed, or otherwise disposed of and in which a
 
10 security interest or agricultural lien continues, even if the
 
11 secured party knows of or consents to the disposition.
 
12      (b)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) and
 
13 section 490:9-508, a financing statement is not rendered
 
14 ineffective if, after the financing statement is filed, the
 
15 information provided in the financing statement becomes seriously
 
16 misleading under section 490:9-506.
 
17      (c)  If a debtor so changes its name that a filed financing
 
18 statement becomes seriously misleading under section 490:9-506:
 
19      (1)  The financing statement is effective to perfect a
 
20           security interest in collateral acquired by the debtor
 
21           before, or within four months after, the change; and
 
22      (2)  The financing statement is not effective to perfect a
 
23           security interest in collateral acquired by the debtor

 1           more than four months after the change, unless an
 
 2           amendment to the financing statement which renders the
 
 3           financing statement not seriously misleading is filed
 
 4           within four months after the change.
 
 5      §490:9-508  Effectiveness of financing statement if new
 
 6 debtor becomes bound by security agreement.  (a)  Except as
 
 7 otherwise provided in this section, a filed financing statement
 
 8 naming an original debtor is effective to perfect a security
 
 9 interest in collateral in which a new debtor has or acquires
 
10 rights to the extent that the financing statement would have been
 
11 effective had the original debtor acquired rights in the
 
12 collateral.
 
13      (b)  If the difference between the name of the original
 
14 debtor and that of the new debtor causes a filed financing
 
15 statement that is effective under subsection (a) to be seriously
 
16 misleading under section 490:9-506:
 
17      (1)  The financing statement is effective to perfect a
 
18           security interest in collateral acquired by the new
 
19           debtor before, and within four months after, the new
 
20           debtor becomes bound under section 490:9-203(d); and
 
21      (2)  The financing statement is not effective to perfect a
 
22           security interest in collateral acquired by the new
 
23           debtor more than four months after the new debtor

 1           becomes bound under section 490:9-203(d) unless an
 
 2           initial financing statement providing the name of the
 
 3           new debtor is filed before the expiration of that time.
 
 4      (c)  This section does not apply to collateral as to which a
 
 5 filed financing statement remains effective against the new
 
 6 debtor under section 490:9-507(a).
 
 7      §490:9-509  Persons entitled to file a record.  (a)  A
 
 8 person may file an initial financing statement, amendment that
 
 9 adds collateral covered by a financing statement, or amendment
 
10 that adds a debtor to a financing statement only if:
 
11      (1)  The debtor authorizes the filing in an authenticated
 
12           record; or
 
13      (2)  The person holds an agricultural lien that has become
 
14           effective at the time of filing and the financing
 
15           statement covers only collateral in which the person
 
16           holds an agricultural lien.
 
17      (b)  By authenticating or becoming bound as debtor by a
 
18 security agreement, a debtor or new debtor authorizes the filing
 
19 of an initial financing statement, and an amendment, covering:
 
20      (1)  The collateral described in the security agreement; and
 
21      (2)  Property that becomes collateral under section
 
22           490:9-315(a)(2), whether or not the security agreement
 
23           expressly covers proceeds.

 1      (c)  By acquiring collateral in which a security interest or
 
 2 agricultural lien continues under section 490:9-315(a)(1), a
 
 3 debtor authorizes the filing of an initial financing statement,
 
 4 and an amendment, covering the collateral and property that
 
 5 becomes collateral under section 490:9-315(a)(2).
 
 6      (d)  A person may file an amendment other than an amendment
 
 7 that adds collateral covered by a financing statement or an
 
 8 amendment that adds a debtor to a financing statement only if:
 
 9      (1)  The secured party of record authorizes the filing; or
 
10      (2)  The amendment is a termination statement for a
 
11           financing statement as to which the secured party of
 
12           record has failed to file or send a termination
 
13           statement as required by section 490:9-513(a) or (c)
 
14           the debtor authorizes the filing, and the termination
 
15           statement indicates that the debtor authorized it to be
 
16           filed.
 
17      (e)  If there is more than one secured party of record for a
 
18 financing statement, each secured party of record may authorize
 
19 the filing of an amendment under subsection (c).
 
20      §490:9-510  Effectiveness of filed record.  (a)  A filed
 
21 record is effective only to the extent that it was filed by a
 
22 person that may file it under section 490:9-509.

 8           the name of the assignee, under the name of the
 
 9           assignee.
 
10      (f)  The filing office shall maintain a capability:

 1      §490:9-520  Acceptance and refusal to accept record.  (a)  A
 
 2 filing office shall refuse to accept a record for filing for a
 
 3 reason set forth in section 490:9-516(b) and may refuse to accept

 5 490:9-516(b).
 
 6      (b)  If a filing office refuses to accept a record for
 
 7 filing, it shall communicate to the person that presented the
 
 8 record the fact of and reason for the refusal and the date and

20      (d)  If a record communicated to a filing office provides
 
21 information that relates to more than one debtor, this part
 
22 applies as to each debtor separately.

16           debtor or a secondary obligor places the secured
 
17           party's compliance in issue.
 
18      (2)  If the secured party's compliance is placed in issue
 
19           the secured party has the burden of establishing that
 
20           the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance

 4           the liability of a debtor or a secondary obligor for a
 
 5           deficiency is limited to an amount by which the sum of
 
 6           the secured obligation, expenses, and attorney's fees
 
 7           exceeds the greater of:
 
 8           (A)  The proceeds of the collection, enforcement
 
 9                disposition, or acceptance; or
 
10           (B)  The amount of proceeds that would have been
 
11                realized had the noncomplying secured party

13                this part relating to collection, enforcement
 
14                disposition, or acceptance.

17           sum of the secured obligation, expenses, and attorney's
 
18           fees unless the secured party proves that the amount is
 
19           less than that sum.
 
20      (5)  If a deficiency or surplus is calculated under section
 
21           490:9-615(f), the debtor or obligor has the burden of
 
22           establishing that the amount of proceeds of the
 
23           disposition is significantly below the range of prices

 1           that a complying disposition to a person other than the
 
 2           secured party, a person related to the secured party,
 
 3           or a secondary obligor would have brought.
 
 4      (b)  The limitation of the rules in subsection (a) to
 
 5 transactions other than consumer transactions is intended to
 
 6 leave to the court the determination of the proper rules in
 
 7 consumer transactions.  The court may not infer from that
 
 8 limitation the nature of the proper rule in consumer transactions
 
 9 and may continue to apply established approaches.
 
10      §490:9-627  Determination of whether conduct was
 
11 commercially reasonable.  (a)  The fact that a greater amount
 
12 could have been obtained by a collection, enforcement,
 
13 disposition, or acceptance at a different time or in a different
 
14 method from that selected by the secured party is not of itself
 
15 sufficient to preclude the secured party from establishing that
 
16 the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was made
 
17 in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
18      (b)  A disposition of collateral is made in a commercially
 
19 reasonable manner if the disposition is made:
 
20      (1)  In the usual manner on any recognized market;
 
21      (2)  At the price current in any recognized market at the
 
22           time of the disposition; or

 1      (3)  Otherwise in conformity with reasonable commercial
 
 2           practices among dealers in the type of property that
 
 3           was the subject of the disposition.
 
 4      (c)  A collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance
 
 5 is commercially reasonable if it has been approved:
 
 6      (1)  In a judicial proceeding;
 
 7      (2)  By a bona fide creditors' committee;
 
 8      (3)  By a representative of creditors; or
 
 9      (4)  By an assignee for the benefit of creditors.
 
10      (d)  Approval under subsection (c) need not be obtained, and
 
11 lack of approval does not mean that the collection, enforcement,
 
12 disposition, or acceptance is not commercially reasonable.
 
13      §490:9-628  Nonliability and limitation on liability of
 
14 secured party; liability of secondary obligor.  (a)  Unless a
 
15 secured party knows that a person is a debtor or obligor, knows
 
16 the identity of the person, and knows how to communicate with the
 
17 person:
 
18      (1)  The secured party is not liable to the person, or to a
 
19           secured party or lienholder that has filed a financing
 
20           statement against the person, for failure to comply
 
21           with this article; and
 
22      (2)  The secured party's failure to comply with this article
 
23           does not affect the liability of the person for a
 
24           deficiency.

 1      (b)  A secured party is not liable because of its status as
 
 2 secured party:
 
 3      (1)  To a person that is a debtor or obligor, unless the
 
 4           secured party knows:
 
 5           (A)  That the person is a debtor or obligor;
 
 6           (B)  The identity of the person; and
 
 7           (C)  How to communicate with the person; or
 
 8      (2)  To a secured party or lienholder that has filed a
 
 9           financing statement against a person, unless the
 
10           secured party knows:
 
11           (A)  That the person is a debtor; and
 
12           (B)  The identity of the person.
 
13      (c)  A secured party is not liable to any person, and a
 
14 person's liability for a deficiency is not affected, because of
 
15 any act or omission arising out of the secured party's reasonable
 
16 belief that a transaction is not a consumer-goods transaction or
 
17 a consumer transaction or that goods are not consumer goods, if
 
18 the secured party's belief is based on its reasonable reliance
 
19 on:
 
20      (1)  A debtor's representation concerning the purpose for
 
21           which collateral was to be used, acquired, or held; or
 
22      (2)  An obligor's representation concerning the purpose for
 
23           which a secured obligation was incurred.

 7                        PART 7.  TRANSITION
 
 8      §490:9-701  Effective date.  This article takes effect on
 
 9 July 1, 2001.
 
10      §490:9-702  Savings clause.  (a)  Except as otherwise
 
11 provided in this part, this article applies to a transaction or
 
12 lien within its scope, even if the transaction or lien was
 
13 entered into or created before this article takes effect.
 
14      (b)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) and
 
15 sections 490:9-703 through 490:9-708:
 
16      (1)  Transactions and liens that were not governed by former
 
17           Article 9, were validly entered into or created before
 
18           this article takes effect, and would be subject to this
 
19           article if they had been entered into or created after
 
20           this article takes effect, and the rights, duties, and
 
21           interests flowing from those transactions and liens,
 
22           remain valid after this article takes effect; and

                                                        C.D. 1

 
 1      (2)  The transactions and liens may be terminated,
 
 2           completed, consummated, and enforced as required or
 
 3           permitted by this article or by the law that otherwise
 
 4           would apply if this article had not taken effect.
 
 5      (c)  This article does not affect an action, case, or
 
 6 proceeding commenced before this article takes effect.
 
 7      §490:9-703  Security interest perfected before effective
 
 8 date.  (a)  A security interest that is enforceable immediately
 
 9 before this article takes effect and would have priority over the
 
10 rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time is a
 
11 perfected security interest under this article if, when this
 
12 article takes effect, the applicable requirements for
 
13 enforceability and perfection under this article are satisfied
 
14 without further action.
 
15      (b)  Except as otherwise provided in section 490:9-705, if,
 
16 immediately before this article takes effect, a security interest
 
17 is enforceable and would have priority over the rights of a
 
18 person that becomes a lien creditor at that time, but the
 
19 applicable requirements for enforceability or perfection under
 
20 this article are not satisfied when this article takes effect,
 
21 the security interest:
 
22      (1)  Is a perfected security interest for one year after
 
23           this article takes effect;

 1      (2)  Remains enforceable thereafter only if the security
 
 2           interest becomes enforceable under section 490:9-203
 
 3           before the year expires; and
 
 4      (3)  Remains perfected thereafter only if the applicable
 
 5           requirements for perfection under this article are
 
 6           satisfied before the year expires.
 
 7      §490:9-704  Security interest unperfected before effective
 
 8 date.  A security interest that is enforceable immediately before
 
 9 this article takes effect but which would be subordinate to the
 
10 rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time:
 
11      (1)  Remains an enforceable security interest for one year
 
12           after this article takes effect;
 
13      (2)  Remains enforceable thereafter if the security interest
 
14           becomes enforceable under section 490:9-203 when this
 
15           article takes effect or within one year thereafter; and
 
16      (3)  Becomes perfected:
 
17           (A)  Without further action, when this article takes
 
18                effect if the applicable requirements for
 
19                perfection under this article are satisfied before
 
20                or at that time; or
 
21           (B)  When the applicable requirements for perfection
 
22                are satisfied if the requirements are satisfied
 
23                after that time.

 1      §490:9-705  Effectiveness of action taken before effective
 
 2 date.  (a)  If action, other than the filing of a financing
 
 3 statement, is taken before this article takes effect and the
 
 4 action would have resulted in priority of a security interest
 
 5 over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor had the
 
 6 security interest become enforceable before this article takes
 
 7 effect, the action is effective to perfect a security interest
 
 8 that attaches under this article within one year after this
 
 9 article takes effect.  An attached security interest becomes
 
10 unperfected one year after this article takes effect unless the
 
11 security interest becomes a perfected security interest under
 
12 this article before the expiration of that period.
 
13      (b)  The filing of a financing statement before this article
 
14 takes effect is effective to perfect a security interest to the
 
15 extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for
 
16 perfection under this article.
 
17      (c)  This article does not render ineffective an effective
 
18 financing statement that, before this article takes effect, is
 
19 filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection
 
20 under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as
 
21 provided in the former section 490:9-103.  However, except as
 
22 otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (e) and section 490:9-
 
23 706, the financing statement ceases to be effective at the
 
24 earlier of:

 1      (1)  The time the financing statement would have ceased to
 
 2           be effective under the law of the jurisdiction in which
 
 3           it is filed; or
 
 4      (2)  June 30, 2006.
 
 5      (d)  The filing of a continuation statement after this
 
 6 article takes effect does not continue the effectiveness of the
 
 7 financing statement filed before this article takes effect.
 
 8 However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after
 
 9 this article takes effect and in accordance with the law of the
 
10 jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in part 3, the
 
11 effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office
 
12 in that jurisdiction before this article takes effect continues
 
13 for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
 
14      (e)  Subsection (c)(2) applies to a financing statement
 
15 that, before this article takes effect, is filed against a
 
16 transmitting utility and satisfies the applicable requirements
 
17 for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing
 
18 perfection as provided in the former section 490:9-103 only to
 
19 the extent that part 3 provides that the law of a jurisdiction
 
20 other than a jurisdiction in which the financing statement is
 
21 filed governs perfection of a security interest in collateral
 
22 covered by the financing statement.

 1      (f)  A financing statement that includes a financing
 
 2 statement filed before this article takes effect and a
 
 3 continuation statement filed after this article takes effect is
 
 4 effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements
 
 5 of part 5 for an initial financing statement.
 
 6      §490:9-706  When initial financing statement suffices to
 
 7 continue effectiveness of financing statement.  (a)  The filing
 
 8 of an initial financing statement in the office specified in
 
 9 section 490:9-501 continues the effectiveness of a financing
 
10 statement filed before this article takes effect if:
 
11      (1)  The filing of an initial financing statement in that
 
12           office would be effective to perfect a security
 
13           interest under this article;
 
14      (2)  The pre-effective-date financing statement was filed in
 
15           an office in another state or another office in this
 
16           State; and
 
17      (3)  The initial financing statement satisfies subsection
 
18           (c).
 
19      (b)  The filing of an initial financing statement under
 
20 subsection (a) continues the effectiveness of the pre-effective-
 
21 date financing statement:
 
22      (1)  If the initial financing statement is filed before this
 
23           article takes effect, for the period provided in the

 1           former section 490:9-403 with respect to a financing
 
 2           statement; and
 
 3      (2)  If the initial financing statement is filed after this
 
 4           article takes effect, for the period provided in
 
 5           section 490:9-515 with respect to an initial financing
 
 6           statement.
 
 7      (c)  To be effective for purposes of subsection (a), an
 
 8 initial financing statement must:
 
 9      (1)  Satisfy the requirements of part 5 for an initial
 
10           financing statement;
 
11      (2)  Identify the pre-effective-date financing statement by
 
12           indicating the office in which the financing statement
 
13           was filed and providing the dates of filing and file
 
14           numbers, if any, of the financing statement and of the
 
15           most recent continuation statement filed with respect
 
16           to the financing statement; and
 
17      (3)  Indicate that the pre-effective-date financing
 
18           statement remains effective.
 
19      §490:9-707  Persons entitled to file initial financing
 
20 statement or continuation statement.  A person may file an

 1      (1)  The secured party of record authorizes the filing; and
 
 2      (2)  The filing is necessary under this part:
 
 3           (A)  To continue the effectiveness of a financing
 
 4                statement filed before this article takes effect;
 
 5                or
 
 6           (B)  To perfect or continue the perfection of a
 
 7                security interest.
 
 8      §490:9-708  Priority.  (a)  This article determines the
 
 9 priority of conflicting claims to collateral.  However, if the
 
10 relative priorities of the claims were established before this
 
11 article takes effect, the former Article 9 determines priority.
 
12      (b)  For purposes of section 490:9-322(a), the priority of a
 
13 security interest that becomes enforceable under section
 
14 490:9-203 of this article dates from the time this article takes
 
15 effect if the security interest is perfected under this article
 
16 by the filing of a financing statement before this article takes
 
17 effect which would not have been effective to perfect the
 
18 security interest under the former Article 9.  This subsection
 
19 does not apply to conflicting security interests each of which is
 
20 perfected by the filing of such a financing statement."

 1      "§490:5-     Security interest of issuer or nominated
 
 2 person.  (a)  An issuer or nominated person has a security
 
 3 interest in a document presented under a letter of credit to the
 
 4 extent that the issuer or nominated person honors or gives value
 
 5 for the presentation.
 
 6      (b)  So long as and to the extent that an issuer or
 
 7 nominated person has not been reimbursed or has not otherwise
 
 8 recovered the value given with respect to a security interest in
 
 9 a document under subsection (a), the security interest continues
 
10 and is subject to Article 9, but:
 
11      (1)  A security agreement is not necessary to make the
 
12           security interest enforceable under section
 
13           490:9-203(b)(3);
 
14      (2)  If the document is presented in a medium other than a
 
15           written or other tangible medium, the security interest
 
16           is perfected; and
 
17      (3)  If the document is presented in a written or other
 
18           tangible medium and is not a certificated security
 
19           chattel paper, a document of title, an instrument, or a
 
20           letter of credit, the security interest is perfected
 
21           and has priority over a conflicting security interest
 
22           in the document so long as the debtor does not have
 
23           possession of the document."

 7 have passed, and the intended transfer shall be deemed to be
 
 8 incomplete and not to be valid or effective for any purpose,
 
 9 notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code;
 
10 provided that a security interest in a motor vehicle shall be
 
11 perfected as provided in the Uniform Commercial Code, [sections
 
12 490:9-302(3)(b) and 490:9-302(4),] section 490:9-311 and that the

14 interest shall be governed by Article 9 of the Code."

11 incurred for advances which may be made by the mortgagee
 
12 subsequent to the execution of the mortgage even though the
 
13 mortgagee is under no contractual duty to make these advances.
 
14 Except as otherwise provided in [section 490:9-313] sections
 
15 490:9-334 and 490:9-604 of the Uniform Commercial Code with
 
16 respect to security interests in fixtures, a mortgage which
 
17 secures future advances, up to but not exceeding the maximum
 
18 amount of future advances stated in the mortgage, shall be
 
19 superior to any subsequently recorded mortgage, lien, or other
 
20 encumbrances or conveyance, other than liens for real property
 
21 taxes and assessments for public improvements, even though the
 
22 subsequently recorded mortgage, lien, or other encumbrance or

 7 may attach to additions, improvements, and purchases or
 
 8 substitutions made to supply the place of any real property or

 1      SECTION 9.  Section 490:1-201, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is
 
 2 amended as follows:
 
 3      1.  By amending the definition of "buyer in ordinary course
 
 4 of business" to read:
 
 5      "(9)  "Buyer in ordinary course of business" means a person
 
 6 [who] that buys goods in good faith [and], without knowledge that
 
 7 the sale [to him is in violation of] violates the [ownership]
 
 8 rights [or security interest] of [a third party] another person
 
 9 in the goods [buys], and in the ordinary course from a person,
 
10 other than a pawnbroker, in the business of selling goods of that
 
11 kind [but does not include a pawnbroker.  All persons who sell
 
12 minerals or the like (including oil and gas) at wellhead or
 
13 minehead shall be deemed to be persons].  A person buys goods in
 
14 in the ordinary course if the sale to the person comports with
 
15 the usual or customary practices in the kind of business in which
 
16 the seller is engaged or with the seller's own usual or customary
 
17 practices.  A person that sells oil, gas, or other minerals at
 
18 the wellhead or minehead is a person in the business of selling
 
19 goods of that kind.  ["Buying"] A buyer in ordinary course of
 
20 business may [be] buy for cash [or], by exchange of other
 
21 property, or on secured or unsecured credit, and [includes
 
22 receiving] may acquire goods or documents of title under a
 
23 preexisting contract for sale [but does not include a transfer in

 1 bulk or as security for or in total or partial satisfaction of a
 
 2 money debt].  Only a buyer that takes possession of the goods or
 
 3 has a right to recover the goods from the seller under Article 2
 
 4 may be a buyer in ordinary course of business.  A person that
 
 5 acquires goods in a transfer in bulk or as security for or in
 
 6 total or partial satisfaction of a money debt is not a buyer in
 
 7 ordinary course of business."
 
 8      2.  By amending the definition of "purchase" to read:
 
 9      "(32)  "Purchase" includes taking by sale, discount,
 
10 negotiation, mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest, issue or
 
11 reissue, gift, or any other voluntary transaction creating an
 
12 interest in property."
 
13      3.  By amending the definition of "security interest" to
 
14 read:
 
15      "(37)  "Security interest" means an interest in personal
 
16 property or fixtures which secures payment or performance of an
 
17 obligation.  [The retention or reservation of title by a seller
 
18 of goods notwithstanding shipment or delivery to the buyer
 
19 (section 490:2-401) is limited in effect to a reservation of a
 
20 "security interest".] The term also includes any interest of a
 
21 consignor and a buyer of accounts [or], chattel paper [which], a
 
22 payment intangible, or a promissory note in a transaction that is
 
23 subject to Article 9.  The special property interest of a buyer

 1 of goods on identification of those goods to a contract for sale
 
 2 under section 490:2-401 is not a "security interest", but a buyer
 
 3 may also acquire a "security interest" by complying with Article
 
 4 9.  [Unless a consignment is intended as security, reservation of
 
 5 title thereunder is not a "security interest", but a consignment
 
 6 in any event is subject to the provisions on consignment sales
 
 7 (section 490:2-326).] Except as otherwise provided in section
 
 8 490:2-505, the right of a seller or lessor of goods under Article
 
 9 2 or 2A to retain or acquire possession of the goods is not a
 
10 "security interest", but a seller or lessor may also acquire a
 
11 "security interest" by complying with Article 9.  The retention
 
12 or reservation of title by a seller of goods notwithstanding
 
13 shipment or delivery to the buyer (section 490:2-401) is limited
 
14 in effect to a reservation of a "security interest".
 
15      Whether a transaction creates a lease or security interest
 
16 is determined by the facts of each case; however, a transaction
 
17 creates a security interest if the consideration the lessee is to
 
18 pay the lessor for the right to possession and use of the goods
 
19 is an obligation for the term of the lease not subject to
 
20 termination by the lessee, and:
 
21      (a)  The original term of the lease is equal to or greater
 
22           than the remaining economic life of the goods;

 1      (b)  The lessee is bound to renew the lease for the
 
 2           remaining economic life of the goods or is bound to
 
 3           become the owner of the goods;
 
 4      (c)  The lessee has an option to renew the lease for the
 
 5           remaining economic life of the goods for no additional
 
 6           consideration or nominal additional consideration upon
 
 7           compliance with the lease agreement; or
 
 8      (d)  The lessee has an option to become the owner of the
 
 9           goods for no additional consideration or nominal
 
10           additional consideration upon compliance with the lease
 
11           agreement.
 
12      A transaction does not create a security interest merely
 
13 because it provides that:
 
14      (a)  The present value of the consideration the lessee is
 
15           obligated to pay the lessor for the right to possession
 
16           and use of the goods is substantially equal to or is
 
17           greater than the fair market value of the goods at the
 
18           time the lease is entered into;
 
19      (b)  The lessee assumes risk of loss of the goods, or agrees
 
20           to pay taxes, insurance, filing, recording, or
 
21           registration fees, or service or maintenance costs with
 
22           respect to the goods;

 1      (c)  The lessee has an option to renew the lease or to
 
 2           become the owner of the goods;
 
 3      (d)  The lessee has an option to renew the lease for a fixed
 
 4           rent that is equal to or greater than the reasonably
 
 5           predictable fair market rent for the use of the goods
 
 6           for the term of the renewal at the time the option is
 
 7           to be performed; or
 
 8      (e)  The lessee has an option to become the owner of the
 
 9           goods for a fixed price that is equal to or greater
 
10           than the reasonably predictable fair market value of
 
11           the goods at the time the option is to be performed.
 
12      For purposes of this subsection (37):
 
13      (x)  Additional consideration is not nominal if (i) when the
 
14           option to renew the lease is granted to the lessee the
 
15           rent is stated to be the fair market rent for the use
 
16           of the goods for the term of the renewal determined at
 
17           the time the option is to be performed, or (ii) when
 
18           the option to become the owner of the goods is granted
 
19           to the lessee the price is stated to be the fair market
 
20           value of the goods determined at the time the option is
 
21           to be performed.  Additional consideration is nominal
 
22           if it is less than the lessee's reasonably predictable
 
23           cost of performing under the lease agreement if the
 
24           option is not exercised;

 3           the facts and circumstances at the time the transaction
 
 4           is entered into; and

 9      "§490:2-210  Delegation of performance; assignment of
 
10 rights.(1)  A party may perform [his] the party's duty through
 
11 a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless the other party has
 
12 a substantial interest in having [his] the other party's original
 
13 promisor perform or control the acts required by the contract.
 
14 No delegation of performance relieves the party delegating of any
 
15 duty to perform or any liability for breach.
 
16      (2)  [Unless] Except as otherwise provided in section
 
17 490:9-406, unless otherwise agreed, all rights of either seller

 1 of the assignor's due performance of [his] the assignor's entire
 
 2 obligation can be assigned despite agreement otherwise.
 
 3      (3)  The creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of
 
 4 a security interest in the seller's interest under a contract is
 
 5 not a transfer that materially changes the duty of or increases
 
 6 materially the burden or risk imposed on the buyer or impairs
 
 7 materially the buyer's chance of obtaining return performance
 
 8 within the purview of subsection (2) unless, and then only to the
 
 9 extent that, enforcement actually results in a delegation of
 
10 material performance of the seller.  Even in that event, the
 
11 creation, attachment, perfection, and enforcement of the security
 
12 interest remain effective, but:
 
13      (a)  The seller is liable to the buyer for damages caused by
 
14           the delegation to the extent that the damages could not
 
15           reasonably be prevented by the buyer; and
 
16      (b)  A court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate
 
17           relief, including cancellation of the contract for sale
 
18           or an injunction against enforcement of the security
 
19           interest or consummation of the enforcement.
 
20      [(3)] (4)  Unless the circumstances indicate the contrary a
 
21 prohibition of assignment of "the contract" is to be construed as
 
22 barring only the delegation to the assignee of the assignor's
 
23 performance.

 1      [(4)] (5)  An assignment of "the contract" or of "all my

 3 terms is an assignment of rights and unless the language or the
 
 4 circumstances (as in an assignment for security) indicate the
 
 5 contrary, it is a delegation of performance of the duties of the
 
 6 assignor and its acceptance by the assignee constitutes a promise

 9 goods of the kind involved, under a name other than the name of
 
10 the person making delivery, then with respect to claims of
 
11 creditors of the person conducting the business the goods are
 
12 deemed to be on sale or return.  The provisions of this
 
13 subsection are applicable even though an agreement purports to

15 resale or uses such words as "on consignment" or "on memorandum".

 1      [(f)] (e)  A transfer of "the lease" or of "all my rights
 
 2 under the lease", or a transfer in similar general terms, is a
 
 3 transfer of rights and, unless the language or the circumstances,
 
 4 as in a transfer for security, indicate the contrary, the
 
 5 transfer is a delegation of duties by the transferor to the
 
 6 transferee.  Acceptance by the transferee constitutes a promise
 
 7 by the transferee to perform those duties.  The promise is
 
 8 enforceable by either the transferor or the other party to the
 
 9 lease contract.
 
10      [(g)] (f)  Unless otherwise agreed by the lessor and the
 
11 lessee, a delegation of performance does not relieve the
 
12 transferor as against the other party of any duty to perform or
 
13 of any liability for default.
 
14      [(h)] (g)  In a consumer lease, to prohibit the transfer of
 
15 an interest of a party under the lease contract or to make a
 
16 transfer an event of default, the language must be specific, by a
 
17 writing, and conspicuous."

 1      (c)  In a case not covered by the priority rules in
 
 2 [article] Article 9, a purchaser for value of a security
 
 3 entitlement, or an interest therein, who obtains control has
 
 4 priority over a purchaser of a security entitlement, or an
 
 5 interest therein, who does not obtain control.  [Purchasers]
 
 6 Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), purchasers who
 
 7 have control rank [equally, except that a] according to priority
 
 8 in time of:
 
 9      (1)  The purchaser's becoming the person for whom the
 
10           securities account, in which the security entitlement
 
11           is carried, is maintained, if the purchaser obtained
 
12           control under section 490:8-106(d)(1);
 
13      (2)  The securities intermediary's agreement to comply with
 
14           the purchaser's entitlement orders with respect to
 
15           security entitlements carried or to be carried in the
 
16           securities account in which the security entitlement is
 
17           carried, if the purchaser obtained control under
 
18           section 490:8-106(d)(2); or
 
19      (3)  If the purchaser obtained control through another
 
20           person under section 490:8-106(d)(3), the time on which
 
21           priority would be based under this subsection if the
 
22           other person were the secured party.
