Priority as Between Unperfected Security Interests and Third Parties Sample Clauses

Priority as Between Unperfected Security Interests and Third Parties. The unperfected security interest is one where the interest has attached, but the act of the creditor to perfect has not taken place, i.e., 44 Id., at ¶¶16-35. 45 See, UCC §9-322(a)(1). filing, possession or control. As stated previously, the unperfected security interest is subordinate to the perfected one. See, UCC §9- 317(a)(1) and (2). Lien Creditors also have special rules of priority over unperfected security interests. A Lien Creditor is defined by Article 9 as a creditor that has acquired a lien by judicial act (a levy or execution), an assignee for the benefit of creditors, or a bankruptcy trustee as of the date of filing the bankruptcy or a receiver from the time of appointment. A Lien Creditor’s interest is superior to the interest of a secured creditor’s, until such time as the secured creditor’s interests become perfected. However, if the security interest has been granted by an authenticated agreement, though no value has been given or the debtor has no rights in the collateral – in other words the security interest has not attached – but there has been a filing of a Financing Statement, the rights of the secured creditor remain superior to that of the Lien Creditor. See, UCC §9- 317(a)(2)(B). Buyers of tangible Chattel Paper, documents, goods, Instruments or a security certificate take free of an unperfected security interest so long as the buyer gives value and receives delivery of the collateral without knowledge of the security interest. Lessees of goods also take free of an unperfected security interest under the same circumstances. Licensees of general intangibles as well as buyers of accounts, Electronic Chattel Paper, General Intangibles or Investment Property (other than certificated securities) also take free of an unperfected security interest so long as they give value without knowledge of the security interest. For this class of buyers and Licensees of goods, taking delivery without notice is not a requirement. See, UCC §9- 317(b)-(d). An exception to the unperfected security interest rules are rules governing the Purchase Money Security Interest (hereinafter, the “PMSI”). A PMSI holder is granted a twenty (20) day window in which to perfect and still take priority over an intervening buyer, Lessee, or Lien Creditor whose interest arises between the time the PMSI attaches and the time of filing. Of course, if the PMSI creditor fails to perfect in the twenty (20) days, it will lose its priority status. See, UCC §9-317(e).
