(1) A purchaser of chattel paper has priority over a security interest in the chattel paper which is
claimed merely as proceeds of inventory subject to a security interest if:
(a) in good faith and in the ordinary course of the purchaser's business, the purchaser gives
new value, takes possession of each authoritative tangible copy of the record evidencing the
chattel paper, and obtains control under Section 70A-9a-105 of each authoritative electronic
copy of the record evidencing the chattel paper; and
(b) the authoritative copies of the record evidencing the chattel paper do not indicate that the
chattel paper has been assigned to an identified assignee other than the purchaser.
(2) A purchaser of chattel paper has priority over a security interest in the chattel paper which
is claimed other than merely as proceeds of inventory subject to a security interest if the
purchaser gives new value, takes possession of each authoritative tangible copy of the
record evidencing the chattel paper, and obtains control under Section 70A-9a-105 of each
authoritative electronic copy of the record evidencing the chattel paper in good faith, in the
ordinary course of the purchaser's business, and without knowledge that the purchase violates
the rights of the secured party.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in Section 70A-9a-327, a purchaser having priority in chattel
paper under Subsection (1) or (2) also has priority in proceeds of the chattel paper to the extent
that:
(a) Section 70A-9a-322 provides for priority in the proceeds; or
(b) the proceeds consist of the specific goods covered by the chattel paper or cash proceeds of
the specific goods, even if the purchaser's security interest in the proceeds is unperfected.
(4) Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 70A-9a-331(1), a purchaser of an instrument has
priority over a security interest in the instrument perfected by a method other than possession
if the purchaser gives value and takes possession of the instrument in good faith and without
knowledge that the purchase violates the rights of the secured party.
(5) For purposes of Subsections (1) and (2), the holder of a purchase-money security interest in
inventory gives new value for chattel paper constituting proceeds of the inventory.
(6) For purposes of Subsections (2) and (4), if the authoritative copies of the record evidencing
chattel paper or an instrument indicate that the chattel paper or instrument has been assigned
to an identified secured party other than the purchaser, a purchaser of the chattel paper or
instrument has knowledge that the purchase violates the rights of the secured party.
