47-9330. Priority of purchaser of chattel paper or instrument

A. A purchaser of chattel paper has priority over a security interest in the chattel paper that is claimed merely as proceeds of inventory subject to a security interest if:

2. The chattel paper does not indicate that it has been assigned to an identified assignee other than the purchaser.

B. A purchaser of chattel paper has priority over a security interest in the chattel paper that is claimed other than merely as proceeds of inventory subject to a security interest if the purchaser gives new value and takes possession of the chattel paper or obtains control of the chattel paper under section 47-9105 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.
