(a) "Value." In this Section, "value" has the meaning provided in
Section 3-303(a).

 
(b) Agreement not to assert claim or defense. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section, an agreement between an account debtor and
an
assignor not to assert against an assignee any claim or defense that the
account
debtor may have against the assignor is enforceable by an assignee that takes
an
assignment:

 
 
(1) for value;

 
 
(2) in good faith;

 
 
(3) without notice of a claim of a property or 
 
possessory right to the property assigned; and

 
 
(4) without notice of a defense or claim in 
 
recoupment of the type that may be asserted against a person entitled to enforce a negotiable instrument under Section 3-305(a).

 
(c) When subsection (b) not applicable. Subsection (b) does not
apply to defenses of a type that may be asserted against a holder in due course of a
negotiable instrument under Section 3-305(b).

 
(d) Omission of required statement in consumer transaction. In
a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account debtor's obligation, law
other than this Article requires that the record include a statement to the effect that
the rights of an assignee are subject to claims or defenses that the account debtor
could assert against the original obligee, and the record does not include such a
statement:

 
 
(1) the record has the same effect as if the record 
 
included such a statement; and

 
 
(2) the account debtor may assert against an assignee 
 
those claims and defenses that would have been available if the record included such a statement.

 
(e) Rule for individual under other law. This Section is subject
to law other than this Article which establishes a different rule for an account
debtor who is an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal,
family, or household purposes.

 
(f) Other law not displaced. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection (d), this Section does not displace law other than this Article which
gives effect to an agreement by an account debtor not to assert a claim or
defense
against an assignee.

possessory right to the property assigned; and
recoupment of the type that may be asserted against a person entitled to enforce a negotiable instrument under Section 3-305(a).
included such a statement; and
those claims and defenses that would have been available if the record included such a statement.
