(b) Purchase-money obligation means an obligation of an obligor incurred as all or part of the price of the collateral or for value given to enable the debtor to acquire rights in or the use of the collateral if the value is in fact so used.
2. A security interest in goods is a purchase-money security interest:
(a) To the extent that the goods are purchase-money collateral with respect to that security interest;
(b) If the security interest is in inventory that is or was purchase-money collateral, also to the extent that the security interest secures a purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to other inventory in which the secured party holds or held a purchase-money security interest; and
(c) Also to the extent that the security interest secures a purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to software in which the secured party holds or held a purchase-money security interest.

(2) If more than one obligation is secured, to obligations secured by purchase-money security interests in the order in which those obligations were incurred.
6. In a transaction other than a consumer-goods transaction, a purchase-money security interest does not lose its status as such, even if:
(a) The purchase-money collateral also secures an obligation that is not a purchase-money obligation;
(b) Collateral that is not purchase-money collateral also secures the purchase-money obligation; or
(c) The purchase-money obligation has been renewed, refinanced, consolidated, or restructured.
7. In a transaction other than a consumer-goods transaction, a secured party claiming a purchase-money security interest has the burden of establishing the extent to which the security interest is a purchase-money security interest.
8. The limitation of the rules in subsections 5, 6 and 7 to transactions other than consumer-goods transactions leaves to the court the determination of the proper rules in consumer-goods transactions.

7. If more than one security interest qualifies for priority in the same collateral under subsection 1, 3, 5 or 6:
(a) A security interest securing an obligation incurred as all or part of the price of the collateral has priority over a security interest securing an obligation incurred for value given to enable the debtor to acquire rights in or the use of collateral; and

κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 317 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
2. The other provisions of this part determine the priority among conflicting security interests in the same collateral perfected by filed financing statements that are effective solely under section 80 of this act.

κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 322 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(b) If more than one security interest is perfected under subsection 4, the security interests rank equally in proportion to value of the collateral at the time it became commingled goods.
Sec. 58. If, while a security interest in goods is perfected by any method under the law of another jurisdiction, this state issues a certificate of title that does not show that the goods are subject to the security interest or contain a statement that they may be subject to security interests not shown on the certificate:
1. A buyer of the goods, other than a person in the business of selling goods of that kind, takes free of the security interest if the buyer gives value and receives delivery of the goods after issuance of the certificate and without knowledge of the security interest; and
2. The security interest is subordinate to a conflicting security interest in the goods that attaches, and is perfected under subsection 2 of section 32 of this act, after issuance of the certificate and without the conflicting secured partys knowledge of the security interest.
Sec. 59. If a security interest or agricultural lien is perfected by a filed financing statement providing information described in paragraph (e) of subsection 2 of section 88 of this act which is incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed:
1. The security interest or agricultural lien is subordinate to a conflicting perfected security interest in the collateral to the extent that the holder of the conflicting security interest gives value in reasonable reliance upon the incorrect information; and
2. A purchaser, other than a secured party, of the collateral takes free of the security interest or agricultural lien to the extent that, in reasonable reliance upon the incorrect information, the purchaser gives value and, in the case of chattel paper, documents, goods, instruments, or a security certificate, receives delivery of the collateral.
Sec. 60. This article does not preclude subordination by agreement by a person entitled to priority.
Sec. 61. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a bank with which a deposit account is maintained may exercise any right of recoupment or set-off against a secured party that holds a security interest in the deposit account.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, the application of this article to a security interest in a deposit account does not affect a right of recoupment or set-off of the secured party as to a deposit account maintained with the secured party.
3. The exercise by a bank of a set-off against a deposit account is ineffective against a secured party that holds a security interest in the deposit account which is perfected by control under paragraph (c) of subsection 1 of section 5 of this act, if the set-off is based on a claim against the debtor.
Sec. 62. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of section 61 of this act, and unless the bank otherwise agrees in an authenticated record, a banks rights and duties with respect to a deposit account maintained with the bank are not terminated, suspended, or modified by:
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 323 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
1. The creation, attachment, or perfection of a security interest in the deposit account;
2. The banks knowledge of the security interest; or
3. The banks receipt of instructions from the secured party.
Sec. 63. This article does not require a bank to enter into an agreement of the kind described in paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of section 5 of this act, even if its customer so requests or directs. A bank that has entered into such an agreement is not required to confirm the existence of the agreement to another person unless requested to do so by its customer.
Sec. 64. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 and sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 of this act, whether a debtors rights in collateral may be voluntarily or involuntarily transferred is governed by law other than this article.
2. An agreement between the debtor and secured party which prohibits a transfer of the debtors rights in collateral or makes the transfer a default does not prevent the transfer from taking effect.
Sec. 65. The existence of a security interest, agricultural lien, or authority given to a debtor to dispose of or use collateral, without more, does not impose upon a secured party liability in contract or tort for the debtors acts or omissions.
Sec. 66. 1. In this section, value has the meaning provided in subsection 1 of NRS 104.3303.
2. 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:
(a) For value;
(b) In good faith;
(c) Without notice of a claim of a property or possessory right to the property assigned; and
(d) 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 subsection 1 of NRS 104.3305.
3. An agreement described in subsection 2 is not enforceable with respect to defenses of a type that may be asserted against a holder in due course of a negotiable instrument under subsection 2 of NRS 104.3305.
4. In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account debtors 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:
(a) The record has the same effect as if the record included such a statement; and
(b) The account debtor may assert against an assignee those claims and defenses that would have been available if the record included such a statement.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 324 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
5. This section is subject to law other than this article which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is a natural person and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
6. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, 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.
Sec. 67. 1. Unless an account debtor has made an enforceable agreement not to assert defenses or claims, and subject to subsections 2 to 5, inclusive, the rights of an assignee are subject to:
(a) All terms of the agreement between the account debtor and assignor and any defense or claim in recoupment arising from the transaction that gave rise to the contract; and
(b) Any other defense or claim of the account debtor against the assignor which accrues before the account debtor receives a notification of the assignment authenticated by the assignor or the assignee.
2. Subject to subsection 3 and except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the claim of an account debtor against an assignor may be asserted against an assignee under subsection 1 only to reduce the amount the account debtor owes.
3. This section is subject to law other than this article which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is a natural person and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
4. In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account debtors obligation, law other than this article requires that the record include a statement to the effect that the account debtors recovery against an assignee with respect to claims and defenses against the assignor may not exceed amounts paid by the account debtor under the record, and the record does not include such a statement, the extent to which a claim of an account debtor against the assignor may be asserted against an assignee is determined as if the record included such a statement.
5. This section does not apply to an assignment of a health-care-insurance receivable.
Sec. 68. 1. A modification of or substitution for an assigned contract is effective against an assignee if made in good faith. The assignee acquires corresponding rights under the modified or substituted contract. The assignment may provide that the modification or substitution is a breach of contract by the assignor. This subsection is subject to subsections 2, 3 and 4.
2. Subsection 1 applies to the extent that:
(a) The right to payment or a part thereof under an assigned contract has not been fully earned by performance; or
(b) The right to payment or a part thereof has been fully earned by performance and the account debtor has not received notification of the assignment under subsection 1 of section 69 of this act.

Sec. 69. 1. Subject to subsections 2 to 8, inclusive, an account debtor on an account, chattel paper, or a payment intangible may discharge its obligation by paying the assignor until, but not after, the account debtor receives a notification, authenticated by the assignor or the assignee, that the amount due or to become due has been assigned and that payment is to be made to the assignee. After receipt of the notification, the account debtor may discharge its obligation by paying the assignee and may not discharge the obligation by paying the assignor.
2. Subject to subsection 8, notification is ineffective under subsection 1:
(a) If it does not reasonably identify the rights assigned;
(b) To the extent that an agreement between an account debtor and a seller of a payment intangible limits the account debtors duty to pay a person other than the seller and the limitation is effective under law other than this article; or
(c) At the option of an account debtor, if the notification notifies the account debtor to make less than the full amount of any installment or other periodic payment to the assignee, even if:
(1) Only a portion of the account, chattel paper, or general intangible has been assigned to that assignee;
(2) A portion has been assigned to another assignee; or
(3) The account debtor knows that the assignment to that assignee is limited.
3. Subject to subsection 8, if requested by the account debtor, an assignee shall seasonably furnish reasonable proof that the assignment has been made. Unless the assignee complies, the account debtor may discharge its obligation by paying the assignor, even if the account debtor has received a notification under subsection 1.

κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 326 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ

Subject to subsections 7 and 8, a rule of law, statute, or regulation, that prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of a government, governmental body or official, or account debtor to the assignment or transfer of, or creation of a security interest in, an account or chattel paper is ineffective to the extent that the rule of law, statute, or regulation:
(a) Prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of the government, governmental body or official, or account debtor to the assignment or transfer of, or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in, the account or chattel paper; or

7. Subject to subsection 8, an account debtor may not waive or vary its option under paragraph (c) of subsection 2.
8. 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.
9. This section does not apply to an assignment of a health-care-insurance receivable.
Sec. 70. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a term in a lease agreement is ineffective to the extent that it:
(a) Prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of a party to the lease to the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in an interest of a party under the lease contract or in the lessors residual interest in the goods; or
(b) Provides that the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of the security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy under the lease.

(a) Would impair the creation, attachment, or perfection of a security interest in the letter-of-credit right; or
(b) Provides that the creation, attachment, or perfection of the security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy under the letter-of-credit right.
2. To the extent that a term in a letter of credit is ineffective under subsection 1 but would be effective under law other than this article or a custom or practice applicable to the letter of credit, to the transfer of a right to draw or otherwise demand performance under the letter of credit, or to the assignment of a right to proceeds of the letter of credit, the creation, attachment, or perfection of a security interest in the letter-of-credit right:

Sec. 73. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, if the law of this state governs perfection of a security interest or agricultural lien, the office in which to file a financing statement to perfect the security interest or agricultural lien is:
(a) The office designated for the filing or recording of a mortgage on the real property, if:
(1) The collateral is as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut; or
(2) The financing statement is filed as a fixture filing and the collateral is goods that are or are to become fixtures; or
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 329 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(b) The office of the secretary of state in all other cases, including a case in which the collateral is goods that are or are to become fixtures and the financing statement is not filed as a fixture filing.
2. The office in which to file a financing statement to perfect a security interest in collateral, including fixtures, of a transmitting utility is the office of the secretary of state or the county recorder of the appropriate county, as determined pursuant to chapter 105 of NRS. The financing statement also constitutes a fixture filing as to the collateral indicated in the financing statement which is or is to become fixtures.

(a) Provides the name of the debtor;
(b) Provides the name of the secured party or a representative of the secured party; and

2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 of section 73 of this act, to be sufficient, a financing statement that covers as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, or which is filed as a fixture filing and covers goods that are or are to become fixtures, must satisfy subsection 1 and also:
(a) Indicate that it covers this type of collateral;
(b) Indicate that it is to be filed for record in the real property records;
(c) Provide a description of the real property to which the collateral is related sufficient to give constructive notice of the mortgage under the law of this state if the description were contained in a mortgage of the real property; and

3. A record of a mortgage is effective, from the date of recording, as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or as a financing statement covering as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut only if:
(a) The record indicates the goods or accounts that it covers;
(b) The goods are or are to become fixtures related to the real property described in the mortgage or the collateral is related to the real property described in the mortgage and is as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut;
(c) The record satisfies the requirements for a financing statement in this section other than an indication that it is to be filed in the real property records; and
(d) The mortgage is recorded.
4. A financing statement may be filed before a security agreement is made or a security interest otherwise attaches.
Sec. 75. 1. A financing statement sufficiently provides the name of the debtor:
(a) If the debtor is a registered organization, only if the financing statement provides the name of the debtor indicated on the public record of the debtors jurisdiction of organization which shows the debtor to have been organized;
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 330 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(b) If the debtor is a decedents estate, only if the financing statement provides the name of the decedent and indicates that the debtor is an estate;

(1) Provides the name specified for the trust in its organic documents or, if no name is specified, provides the name of the settlor and additional information sufficient to distinguish the debtor from other trusts having one or more of the same settlors; and
(2) Indicates, in the debtors name or otherwise, that the debtor is a trust or is a trustee acting with respect to property held in trust; and

(a) A trade name or other name of the debtor; or
(b) Unless required under subparagraph (2) of paragraph (d) of subsection 1, names of partners, members, associates, or other persons comprising the debtor.
3. A financing statement that provides only the debtors trade name does not sufficiently provide the name of the debtor.
4. Failure to indicate the representative capacity of a secured party or representative of a secured party does not affect the sufficiency of a financing statement.
5. A financing statement may provide the name of more than one debtor and the name of more than one secured party.
Sec. 76. A financing statement sufficiently indicates the collateral that it covers only if the financing statement provides:
1. A description of the collateral pursuant to section 9 of this act; or
2. An indication that the financing statement covers all assets or all personal property.
Sec. 77. 1. A consignor, lessor, or other bailor of goods, a licensor, or a buyer of a payment intangible or promissory note may file a financing statement, or may comply with a statute or treaty described in subsection 1 of section 32 of this act, using the terms consignor, consignee, lessor, lessee, bailor, bailee, licensor, licensee, owner, registered owner, buyer, seller, or words of similar import, instead of the terms secured party and debtor.
2. This part applies to the filing of a financing statement under subsection 1 and, as appropriate, to compliance that is equivalent to filing a financing statement under subsection 2 of section 32 of this act, but the filing or compliance is not of itself a factor in determining whether the collateral secures an obligation. If it is determined for another reason that the collateral secures an obligation, a security interest held by the consignor, lessor, bailor, licensor, owner, or buyer which attaches to the collateral is perfected by the filing or compliance.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 331 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
consignor, lessor, bailor, licensor, owner, or buyer which attaches to the collateral is perfected by the filing or compliance.
Sec. 78. 1. A financing statement substantially satisfying the requirements of this part is effective, even if it has minor errors or omissions, unless the errors or omissions make the financing statement seriously misleading.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with subsection 1 of section 75 of this act is seriously misleading.
3. If a search of the records of the filing office under the debtors correct name, using the filing offices standard search logic, if any, would disclose a financing statement that fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance with subsection 1 of section 75 of this act, the name provided does not make the financing statement seriously misleading.
4. For purposes of subsection 2 of section 80 of this act, the debtors correct name in subsection 3 means the correct name of the new debtor.
Sec. 79. 1. A filed financing statement remains effective with respect to collateral that is sold, exchanged, leased, licensed, or otherwise disposed of and in which a security interest or agricultural lien continues, even if the secured party knows of or consents to the disposition.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 and section 80 of this act, a financing statement is not rendered ineffective if, after the financing statement is filed, the information provided in the financing statement becomes seriously misleading under section 78 of this act.
3. If a debtor so changes its name that a filed financing statement becomes seriously misleading under section 78 of this act:
(a) The financing statement is effective to perfect a security interest in collateral acquired by the debtor before, or within 4 months after, the change; and
(b) The financing statement is not effective to perfect a security interest in collateral acquired by the debtor more than 4 months after the change, unless an amendment to the financing statement which renders the financing statement not seriously misleading is filed within 4 months after the change.
Sec. 80. 1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a filed financing statement naming an original debtor is effective to perfect a security interest in collateral in which a new debtor has or acquires rights to the extent that the financing statement would have been effective had the original debtor acquired rights in the collateral.
2. If the difference between the name of the original debtor and that of the new debtor causes a filed financing statement that is effective under subsection 1 to be seriously misleading under section 78 of this act:
(a) The financing statement is effective to perfect a security interest in collateral acquired by the new debtor before, and within 4 months after, the new debtor becomes bound under subsection 4 of section 14 of this act; and
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 332 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(b) The financing statement is not effective to perfect a security interest in collateral acquired by the new debtor more than 4 months after the new debtor becomes bound under subsection 4 of section 14 of this act unless an initial financing statement providing the name of the new debtor is filed before the expiration of that time.
3. This section does not apply to collateral as to which a filed financing statement remains effective against the new debtor under subsection 1 of section 79 of this act.
Sec. 81. 1. A person may file an initial financing statement, amendment that adds collateral covered by a financing statement, or amendment that adds a debtor to a financing statement only if:
(a) The debtor authorizes the filing in an authenticated record; or
(b) The person holds an agricultural lien that has become effective at the time of filing and the financing statement covers only collateral in which he holds an agricultural lien.
2. By authenticating or becoming bound as debtor by a security agreement, a debtor or new debtor authorizes the filing of an initial financing statement, and an amendment, covering:

4. If there is more than one secured party of record for a financing statement, each secured party of record may authorize the filing of an amendment under subsection 3.
Sec. 82. 1. Subject to subsection 3, a filed record is effective only to the extent that it was filed by a person that may file it under section 81 of this act.
2. A record authorized by one secured party of record does not affect the financing statement with respect to another secured party of record.
3. If a person may file a termination statement only under paragraph (b) of subsection 3 of section 81 of this act, the filed termination statement is effective only if the debtor authorizes the filing and the termination statement indicates that the debtor authorized it to be filed.
4. A continuation statement that is not filed within the 6-month period prescribed by subsection 4 of section 87 of this act is ineffective.
Sec. 83. 1. A secured party of record with respect to a financing statement is a person whose name is provided as the name of the secured party or a representative of the secured party in an initial financing statement that has been filed. If an initial financing statement is filed under subsection 1 of section 86 of this act, the assignee named in the initial financing statement is the secured party of record with respect to the financing statement.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 333 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
initial financing statement is the secured party of record with respect to the financing statement.
2. If an amendment of a financing statement which provides the name of a person as a secured party or a representative of a secured party is filed, the person named in the amendment is a secured party of record. If an amendment is filed under subsection 2 of section 86 of this act, the assignee named in the amendment is a secured party of record.
3. A person remains a secured party of record until the filing of an amendment of the financing statement which deletes him.
Sec. 84. 1. Subject to section 81 of this act, a person may add or delete collateral covered by, continue or terminate the effectiveness of, or, subject to subsection 5, otherwise amend the information provided in, a financing statement by filing an amendment that:
(a) Identifies, by its file number, the initial financing statement to which the amendment relates; and
(b) If the amendment relates to an initial financing statement filed or recorded in a filing office described in paragraph (a) of subsection 1 of section 73 of this act, provides the date that the initial financing statement was filed or recorded and the information specified in subsection 2 of section 74 of this act.
2. Except as otherwise provided in section 87 of this act, the filing of an amendment does not extend the period of effectiveness of the financing statement.
3. A financing statement that is amended by an amendment that adds collateral is effective as to the added collateral only from the date of the filing of the amendment.
4. A financing statement that is amended by an amendment that adds a debtor is effective as to the added debtor only from the date of the filing of the amendment.
5. An amendment is ineffective to the extent it:
(a) Purports to delete all debtors and fails to provide the name of a debtor to be covered by the financing statement; or
(b) Purports to delete all secured parties of record and fails to provide the name of a new secured party of record.
Sec. 85. 1. A secured party shall cause the secured party of record for a financing statement to file a termination statement for the financing statement if the financing statement covers consumer goods and:
(a) There is no obligation secured by the collateral covered by the financing statement and no commitment to make an advance, incur an obligation, or otherwise give value; or
(b) The debtor did not authorize the filing of the initial financing statement.
2. To comply with subsection 1, a secured party shall cause the secured party of record to file the termination statement:
(a) Within 1 month after there is no obligation secured by the collateral covered by the financing statement and no commitment to make an advance, incur an obligation, or otherwise give value; or
(b) If earlier, within 20 days after the secured party receives an authenticated demand from a debtor.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 334 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
3. In cases not governed by subsection 1, within 20 days after a secured party receives an authenticated demand from a debtor, the secured party shall cause the secured party of record for a financing statement to send to the debtor a termination statement for the financing statement or file the termination statement in the filing office if:
(a) Except in the case of a financing statement covering accounts or chattel paper that has been sold or goods that are the subject of a consignment, there is no obligation secured by the collateral covered by the financing statement and no commitment to make an advance, incur an obligation, or otherwise give value;
(b) The financing statement covers accounts or chattel paper that has been sold but as to which the account debtor or other person obligated has discharged its obligation;
(c) The financing statement covers goods that were the subject of a consignment to the debtor but are not in the debtors possession; or
(d) The debtor did not authorize the filing of the initial financing statement.
4. Except as otherwise provided in section 82 of this act, upon the filing of a termination statement with the filing office, the financing statement to which the termination statement relates ceases to be effective.
Sec. 86. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, an initial financing statement may reflect an assignment of all of the secured partys power to authorize an amendment to the financing statement by providing the name and mailing address of the assignee as the name and address of the secured party.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a secured party of record may assign of record all or part of its power to authorize an amendment to a financing statement by filing in the filing office an amendment of the financing statement which:
(a) Identifies, by its file number, the initial financing statement to which it relates;
(b) Provides the name of the assignor; and
(c) Provides the name and mailing address of the assignee.
3. An assignment of record of a security interest in a fixture covered by a mortgage of real property which is effective as a fixture filing under section 74 of this act may be made only by an assignment of record of the mortgage in the manner provided by law of this state other than the Uniform Commercial Code.
Sec. 87. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2, 5, 6 and 7, a filed financing statement is effective for a period of 5 years after the date of filing.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 5, 6 and 7, an initial financing statement filed in connection with a public-finance transaction or manufactured-home transaction is effective for a period of 30 years after the date of filing if it indicates that it is filed in connection with a public-finance transaction or manufactured-home transaction.
3. The effectiveness of a filed financing statement lapses on the expiration of the period of its effectiveness unless before the lapse a continuation statement is filed pursuant to subsection 4. Upon lapse, a financing statement ceases to be effective and any security interest or agricultural lien that was perfected by the financing statement becomes unperfected, unless the security interest is perfected otherwise.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 335 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
financing statement ceases to be effective and any security interest or agricultural lien that was perfected by the financing statement becomes unperfected, unless the security interest is perfected otherwise. If the security interest or agricultural lien becomes unperfected upon lapse, it is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of the collateral for value.
4. A continuation statement may be filed only within 6 months before the expiration of the 5-year period specified in subsection 1 or the 30-year period specified in subsection 2, whichever is applicable.
5. Except as otherwise provided in section 82 of this act, upon timely filing of a continuation statement, the effectiveness of the initial financing statement continues for a period of 5 years commencing on the day on which the financing statement would have become ineffective in the absence of the filing. Upon the expiration of the 5-year period, the financing statement lapses in the same manner as provided in subsection 3, unless, before the lapse, another continuation statement is filed pursuant to subsection 4. Succeeding continuation statements may be filed in the same manner to continue the effectiveness of the initial financing statement.
6. If a debtor is a transmitting utility and a filed financing statement so indicates, the financing statement is effective until a termination statement is filed.
7. A real property mortgage that is effective as a fixture filing under subsection 3 of section 74 of this act remains effective as a fixture filing until the mortgage is released or satisfied of record or its effectiveness otherwise terminates as to the real property.
Sec. 88. 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, communication of a record to a filing office and tender of the filing fee or acceptance of the record by the filing office constitutes filing.
2. Filing does not occur with respect to a record that a filing office refuses to accept because:
(a) The record is not communicated by a method or medium of communication authorized by the filing office;
(b) An amount equal to or greater than the applicable filing fee is not tendered;
(c) The filing office is unable to index the record because:
(1) In the case of an initial financing statement, the record does not provide a name for the debtor;
(2) In the case of an amendment or correction statement, the record:
(I) Does not identify the initial financing statement as required by section 84 or 90 of this act, as applicable; or
(II) Identifies an initial financing statement whose effectiveness has lapsed under section 87 of this act;
(3) In the case of an initial financing statement that provides the name of a debtor identified as a natural person or an amendment that provides a name of a debtor identified as a natural person which was not previously provided in the financing statement to which the record relates, the record does not identify the debtors last name; or
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 336 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(4) In the case of a record filed or recorded in the filing office described in paragraph (a) of subsection 1 of section 73 of this act, the record does not provide a sufficient description of the real property to which it relates;
(d) In the case of an initial financing statement or an amendment that adds a secured party of record, the record does not provide a name and mailing address for the secured party of record;
(e) In the case of an initial financing statement or an amendment that provides a name of a debtor which was not previously provided in the financing statement to which the amendment relates, the record does not:
(1) Provide a mailing address for the debtor;
(2) Indicate whether the debtor is a natural person or an organization; or
(3) If the financing statement indicates that the debtor is an organization, provide:
(I) A type of organization for the debtor;
(II) A jurisdiction of organization for the debtor; or
(III) An organizational identification number for the debtor or indicate that the debtor has none;
(f) In the case of an assignment reflected in an initial financing statement under subsection 1 of section 86 of this act or an amendment filed under subsection 2 of that section, the record does not provide a name and mailing address for the assignee; or
(g) In the case of a continuation statement, the record is not filed within the 6-month period prescribed by subsection 4 of section 87 of this act.
3. For purposes of subsection 2:
(a) A record does not provide information if the filing office is unable to read or decipher the information; and
(b) A record that does not indicate that it is an amendment or identify an initial financing statement to which it relates, as required by section 84, 86 or 90 of this act, is an initial financing statement.
4. A record that is communicated to the filing office with tender of the filing fee, but which the filing office refuses to accept for a reason other than one set forth in subsection 2, is effective as a filed record except as against a purchaser of the collateral which gives value in reasonable reliance upon the absence of the record from the files.
Sec. 89. The failure of the filing office to index a record correctly does not affect the effectiveness of the filed record.
Sec. 90. 1. A person may file in the filing office a correction statement with respect to a record indexed there under his name if he believes that the record is inaccurate or was wrongfully filed.
2. A correction statement must:
(a) Identify the record to which it relates by:
(1) The file number assigned to the initial financing statement to which the record relates; and
(2) If the correction statement relates to a record filed or recorded in a filing office described in paragraph (a) of subsection 1 of section 73 of this act, the date that the initial financing statement was filed or recorded and the information specified in subsection 2 of section 74 of this act;
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 337 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(b) Indicate that it is a correction statement; and
(c) Provide the basis for the persons belief that the record is inaccurate and indicate the manner in which he believes the record should be amended to cure any inaccuracy or provide the basis for his belief that the record was wrongfully filed.
3. The filing of a correction statement does not affect the effectiveness of an initial financing statement or other filed record.
Sec. 91. 1. For each record filed in a filing office, the filing office shall:
(a) Assign a unique number to the filed record;
(b) Create a record that bears the number assigned to the filed record and the date and time of filing;
(c) Maintain the filed record for public inspection; and
(d) Index the filed record in accordance with subsections 3, 4 and 5.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 9, a file number assigned after January 1, 2002, may include a digit that:
(a) Is mathematically derived from or related to the other digits of the file number; and
(b) Enables the filing office to detect whether a number communicated as the file number includes a single-digit or transpositional error.
3. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 4 and 5, the filing office shall:
(a) Index an initial financing statement according to the name of the debtor and index all filed records relating to the initial financing statement in a manner that associates with one another an initial financing statement and all filed records relating to the initial financing statement; and
(b) Index a record that provides a name of a debtor which was not previously provided in the financing statement to which the record relates also according to the name that was not previously provided.
4. If a financing statement is filed as a fixture filing or covers as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, it must be filed for record and the filing office shall index it:
(a) Under the names of the debtor and of each owner of record shown on the financing statement as if they were the mortgagors under a mortgage of the real property described; and
(b) To the extent that the law of this state provides for indexing of mortgages under the name of the mortgagee, under the name of the secured party as if the secured party were the mortgagee thereunder.
5. If a financing statement is filed as a fixture filing or covers as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, the filing office shall index an assignment filed under subsection 1 of section 86 of this act or an amendment filed under subsection 2 of that section:
(a) Under the name of the assignor as grantor; and
(b) To the extent that the law of this state provides for indexing the assignment of a mortgage of real property under the name of the assignee, under the name of the assignee.
6. The filing office shall maintain a capability:
(a) To retrieve a record by the name of the debtor and:
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 338 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(1) If the filing office is described in paragraph (a) of subsection 1 of section 73 of this act, by the file number assigned to the initial financing statement to which the record relates and the date and time that the record was filed or recorded; or
(2) If the filing office is described in paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of section 73 of this act, by the file number assigned to the initial financing statement to which the record relates; and
(b) To associate and retrieve with one another an initial financing statement and each filed record relating to the initial financing statement.
7. The filing office may not remove a debtors name from the index until 1 year after the effectiveness of a financing statement naming the debtor lapses under section 87 of this act with respect to all secured parties of record.
8. The filing office shall perform the acts required by subsections 1 to 5, inclusive, within a reasonable time and in the manner prescribed by filing-office rule.
9. Subsection 2 does not apply to a filing office described in paragraph (a) of subsection 1 of section 73 of this act.
Sec. 92. 1. A filing office shall refuse to accept a record for filing for a reason set forth in subsection 2 of section 88 of this act and may refuse to accept a record for filing only for a reason set forth in that subsection.
2. If a filing office refuses to accept a record for filing, it shall communicate to the person that presented the record the fact of and reason for the refusal and the date and time the record would have been filed had the filing office accepted it. The communication must be made within a reasonable time and in the manner prescribed by filing-office rule.
3. A filed financing statement satisfying subsections 1 and 2 of section 74 of this act is effective, even if the filing office is required to refuse to accept it for filing under subsection 1. However, section 59 of this act applies to a filed financing statement providing information described in paragraph (e) of subsection 2 of section 88 of this act which is incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed.
4. If a record communicated to a filing office provides information that relates to more than one debtor, this part applies to each debtor separately.
Sec. 93. 1. A filing office that accepts written records may not refuse to accept a written initial financing statement in the following form except for a reason set forth in subsection 2 of section 88 of this act:

3. A redemption may occur at any time before a secured party:
(a) Has collected collateral under section 106 of this act;
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 359 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(b) Has disposed of collateral or entered into a contract for its disposition under section 109 of this act; or

2. Subject to subsections 3, 4, and 6, a person is liable for damages in the amount of any loss caused by a failure to comply with this article. Loss caused by a failure to comply with a request under section 21 of this act may include loss resulting from the debtors inability to obtain, or increased costs of, alternative financing.
3. Except as otherwise provided in section 127 of this act:
(a) A person that, at the time of the failure, was a debtor, was an obligor, or held a security interest in or other lien on the collateral may recover damages under subsection 2 for its loss; and

6. A debtor or consumer obligor may recover damages under subsection 2 and, in addition, $500 in each case from a person that, without reasonable cause, fails to comply with a request under section 21 of this act. A recipient of a request under that section which never claimed an interest in the collateral or obligations that are the subject of a request under that section has a reasonable excuse for failure to comply with the request within the meaning of this subsection.
7. If a secured party fails to comply with a request regarding a list of collateral or a statement of account under section 21 of this act, the secured party may claim a security interest only as shown in the statement included in the request as against a person that is reasonably misled by the failure.
Sec. 125. 1. In an action arising from a transaction, other than a consumer transaction, in which the amount of a deficiency or surplus is in issue, the following rules apply:
(a) A secured party need not prove compliance with the provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance unless the debtor or a secondary obligor places the secured partys compliance in issue.
(b) If the secured partys compliance is placed in issue, the secured party has the burden of establishing that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was conducted in accordance with this part.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in section 127 of this act, if a secured party fails to prove that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was conducted in accordance with the provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance, the liability of a debtor or a secondary obligor for a deficiency is limited to an amount by which the sum of the secured obligation, expenses, and attorneys fees exceeds the greater of:
(1) The proceeds of the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance; or
(2) The amount of proceeds that would have been realized had the noncomplying secured party proceeded in accordance with the provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance.
(d) For purposes of subparagraph (2) of paragraph (c), the amount of proceeds that would have been realized is equal to the sum of the secured obligation, expenses, and attorneys fees unless the secured party proves that the amount is less than that sum.
(e) If a deficiency or surplus is calculated under subsection 6 of section 114 of this act, the debtor or obligor has the burden of establishing that the amount of proceeds of the disposition is significantly below the range of prices that a complying disposition to a person other than the secured party, a person related to the secured party, or a secondary obligor would have brought.
2. The limitation of the rules in subsection 1 to transactions other than consumer transactions leaves to the court the determination of the proper rules in consumer transactions. The court may not infer from that limitation the nature of the proper rule in consumer transactions and may continue to apply established approaches.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 361 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
limitation the nature of the proper rule in consumer transactions and may continue to apply established approaches.
Sec. 126. 1. The fact that a greater amount could have been obtained by a collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance at a different time or in a different method from that selected by the secured party is not of itself sufficient to preclude the secured party from establishing that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was made in a commercially reasonable manner.
2. A disposition of collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner if the disposition is made:
(a) In the usual manner on any recognized market;
(b) At the price current in any recognized market at the time of the disposition; or
(c) Otherwise in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property that was the subject of the disposition.
3. A collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is commercially reasonable if it has been approved:
(a) In a judicial proceeding;
(b) By a genuine creditors committee;
(c) By a representative of creditors; or
(d) By an assignee for the benefit of creditors.
4. Approval under subsection 3 need not be obtained, and lack of approval does not mean that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is not commercially reasonable.
Sec. 127. 1. Unless a secured party knows that a person is a debtor or obligor, knows his identity, and knows how to communicate with him:
(a) The secured party is not liable to the person, or to a secured party or lienholder that has filed a financing statement against him, for failure to comply with this article; and
(b) The secured partys failure to comply with this article does not affect the liability of the person for a deficiency.
2. A secured party is not liable because of its status as a secured party:
(a) To a person that is a debtor or obligor, unless the secured party knows:
(1) That he is a debtor or obligor;
(2) His identity; and
(3) How to communicate with him; or
(b) To a secured party or lienholder that has filed a financing statement against a person, unless the secured party knows:
(1) That he is a debtor; and
(2) His identity.
3. A secured party is not liable to any person, and a persons liability for a deficiency is not affected, because of any act or omission arising out of the secured partys reasonable belief that a transaction is not a consumer-goods transaction or a consumer transaction or that goods are not consumer goods, if the secured partys belief is based on its reasonable reliance on:
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 362 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(a) A debtors representation concerning the purpose for which collateral was to be used, acquired, or held; or
(b) An obligors representation concerning the purpose for which a secured obligation was incurred.
4. A secured party is not liable to any person under paragraph (b) of subsection 3 of section 124 of this act for its failure to comply with section 115 of this act.

Sec. 128. 1. Except as otherwise provided in sections 128 to 134, inclusive, of this act, this article as amended applies to a transaction or lien within its scope, even if the transaction or lien was entered into or created before the amendments to this article take effect.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 and sections 129 to 134, inclusive, of this act:
(a) Transactions and liens that were not governed by this article before July 1, 2001, were validly entered into or created before that date, and would be subject to this article if they had been entered into or created after that date, and the rights, duties, and interests flowing from those transactions and liens remain valid on and after that date; and
(b) The transactions and liens may be terminated, completed, consummated, or enforced as required or permitted by this article or by the law that otherwise would apply if this article had not taken effect.
3. This article as amended does not affect an action, case, or proceeding commenced before July 1, 2001.
Sec. 129. 1. A security interest that is enforceable immediately before July 1, 2001, and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time is a perfected security interest under this article if, when this article as amended takes effect, the applicable requirements for enforceability and perfection under this article as amended are satisfied without further action.
2. Except as otherwise provided in section 131 of this act, if, immediately before July 1, 2001, a security interest is enforceable and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time, but the applicable requirements for enforceability or perfection under this article as amended are not satisfied on July 1, 2001, the security interest:
(a) Is a perfected security interest for 1 year after July 1, 2001;
(b) Remains enforceable thereafter only if the security interest becomes enforceable under section 14 of this act before the year expires; and
(c) Remains perfected thereafter only if the applicable requirements for perfection under this article as amended are satisfied before the year expires.
Sec. 130. A security interest that is enforceable immediately before July 1, 2001, but which would be subordinate to the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time:
1. Remains an enforceable security interest for 1 year after July 1, 2001;
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 363 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
2. Remains enforceable thereafter if the security interest becomes enforceable under section 14 of this act when this article as amended takes effect or within 1 year thereafter; and
3. Becomes perfected:
(a) Without further action, on July 1, 2001, if the applicable requirements for perfection under this article as amended are satisfied before or at that time; or
(b) When the applicable requirements for perfection are satisfied if the requirements are satisfied after that time.
Sec. 131. 1. If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before July 1, 2001, and the action would have resulted in priority of a security interest over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor had the security interest become enforceable before that date, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under this article as amended within 1 year after that date. An attached security interest becomes unperfected 1 year after July 1, 2001, unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under this article as amended before the expiration of that period.
2. The filing of a financing statement before July 1, 2001, is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this article as amended.
3. This article as amended does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that was filed before July 1, 2001, and satisfied the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in section 4 of this act as that section read at the time of filing. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections 4 and 5 and section 134 of this act, the financing statement ceases to be effective at the earlier of:
(a) The time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is filed; or
(b) June 30, 2006.
4. The filing of a continuation statement on or after July 1, 2001, does not continue the effectiveness of the financing statement filed before that date. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after that date and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Part 3, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before that date continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
5. Paragraph (b) of subsection 3 applies to a financing statement that was filed against a transmitting utility before July 1, 2001, and satisfied the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in section 4 of this act as that section read at the time of filing only to the extent that Part 3 provides that the law of a jurisdiction other than jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed governs perfection of a security interest in collateral covered by the financing statement.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 364 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
6. A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before July 1, 2001, and a continuation statement filed after that date are effective only to the extent that the financing statement satisfies the requirements of Part 5 for an initial financing statement.
Sec. 132. 1. The filing of an initial financing statement in the office specified in section 73 of this act continues the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before July 1, 2001, if:
(a) The filing of an initial financing statement in that office would be effective to perfect a security interest under this article as amended;
(b) The pre-effective-date financing statement was filed in an office in another state or another office in this state; and
(c) The initial financing statement satisfies subsection 3.
2. The filing of an initial financing statement under subsection (1) continues the effectiveness of the pre-effective-date financing statement:
(a) If the initial financing statement is filed before July 1, 2001, for the period provided in NRS 104.9403 before that date with respect to a financing statement; and
(b) If the initial financing statement is filed on or after July 1, 2001, for the period provided in section 87 of this act with respect to an initial financing statement.
3. To be effective for purposes of subsection 1, an initial financing statement must:
(a) Satisfy the requirements of Part 5 for an initial financing statement;
(b) Identify the pre-effective-date financing statement by indicating the office in which the financing statement was filed and providing the dates of filing and file numbers, if any, of the financing statement and of the most recent continuation statement filed with respect to the financing statement; and
(c) Indicate that the pre-effective-date financing statement remains effective.
Sec. 133. A person may file an initial financing statement or a continuation statement under sections 128 to 134, inclusive, of this act if:
1. The secured party of record authorizes the filing; and
2. The filing is necessary under those sections:
(a) To continue the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before July 1, 2001; or
(b) To perfect or continue the perfection of a security interest.
Sec. 134. 1. Sections 2 to 134, inclusive, of this act determine the priority of conflicting claims to collateral. However if the relative priorities of the parties were fixed before July 1, 2001, the provisions of Article 9 which were in effect before July 1, 2001, determine priority.
2. For purposes of subsection 1 of section 43 of this act, the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under section 14 of this act dates from July 1, 2001, if the security interest is perfected under this article as amended by the filing of a financing statement before July 1, 2001, which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest under the provisions of Article 9 which were in effect before that date. This subsection does not apply to conflicting security interests each of which is perfected by the filing of such a financing statement.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 365 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
Sec. 135. 1. An issuer or a nominated person has a security interest in a document presented under a letter of credit and any identifiable proceeds of the collateral to the extent that the issuer or nominated person honors or gives value for the presentation.
2. As long as and to the extent that an issuer or a nominated person has not been reimbursed or has not otherwise recovered the value given with respect to a security interest in a document under subsection 1, the security interest continues and is subject to Article 9, but:
(a) A security agreement is not necessary to make the security interest enforceable under paragraph (c) of subsection 2 of section 14 of this act;
(b) If the document is presented in a medium other than a written or other tangible medium, the security interest is perfected; and
(c) If the document is presented in a written or other tangible medium and is not a certificated security, chattel paper, a document of title, an instrument, or a letter of credit, so long as the debtor does not have possession of the document, the security interest is perfected and has priority over a conflicting security interest in the document.
Sec. 136. NRS 104.1105 is hereby amended to read as follows:

Except as otherwise provided in this section, when a transaction bears a reasonable relation to this state and also to another state or nation, the parties may agree that the law of this state or of such other state or nation governs their rights and duties. Failing such agreement, this chapter applies to transactions bearing an appropriate relation to this state.

Sec. 137. NRS 104.1110 is hereby amended to read as follows:

Transactions validly entered into before March 1, 1967, and the rights, duties and interests flowing from them remain valid thereafter and may be terminated, completed, consummated or enforced as required or permitted by any statute or other law amended or repealed by this chapter as though such repeal or amendment had not occurred.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 366 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
2. [Transactions validly entered into after March 1, 1967, and before July 1, 1975, which were subject to the provisions of this chapter before July 1, 1975, and which would be subject to the provisions of this chapter as amended effective July 1, 1975, if they had been entered into after July 1, 1975, and the rights, duties and interests flowing from such transactions remain valid after July 1, 1975, and may be terminated, completed, consummated or enforced as required or permitted by this chapter as amended effective July 1, 1975. Security interests arising out of such transactions which are perfected on July 1, 1975, shall remain perfected until they lapse as provided by this chapter as amended effective July 1, 1975, and may be continued as permitted by this chapter as amended effective July 1, 1975, except as stated in NRS 104.902.

[5. If a security interest in a security governed by NRS 104.8101 to 104.8511, inclusive, is perfected before October 1, 1997, and the action by which the security interest was perfected would suffice to perfect a security interest under this chapter as amended effective on that date, no further action is required to continue perfection. If a security interest in a security is perfected before October 1, 1997, but the action by which the security interest was perfected would not suffice to perfect a security interest under this chapter as amended effective on that date, the security interest remains perfected for a period of 4 months after that date and remains perfected thereafter if appropriate action to perfect it under this chapter as so amended is taken within that period. If a security interest is perfected before October 1, 1997, and the security interest can be perfected by filing under this chapter as amended effective on that date, a financing statement signed by the secured party instead of the debtor may be filed within that period to continue perfection or thereafter to perfect.]

25. A person has notice of a fact when:
(a) He has actual knowledge of it;
(b) He has received a notice or notification of it; or
(c) From all the facts and circumstances known to him at the time in question he has reason to know that it exists.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 369 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
A person knows or has knowledge of a fact when he has actual knowledge of it. Discover or learn or a word or phrase of similar import refers to knowledge rather than to reason to know. The time and circumstances under which a notice or notification may cease to be effective are not determined by this chapter.
26. A person notifies or gives a notice or notification to another by taking such steps as may be reasonably required to inform the other in ordinary course whether or not such other actually comes to know of it. A person receives a notice or notification when:
(a) It comes to his attention; or
(b) It is delivered at the place of business through which the contract was made or at any other place held out by him as the place for receipt of such communications.
27. Notice, knowledge or a notice or notification received by an organization is effective for a particular transaction from the time when it is brought to the attention of the person conducting that transaction, and in any event from the time when it would have been brought to his attention if the organization had exercised due diligence. An organization exercises due diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the person conducting the transaction and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Due diligence does not require a person acting for the organization to communicate information unless such communication is part of his regular duties or unless he has reason to know of the transaction and that the transaction would be materially affected by the information.
28. Organization includes a corporation, government or governmental subdivision or agency, business trust, estate, trust, partnership or association, two or more persons having a joint or common interest, or any other legal or commercial entity.
29. Party, as distinct from third party, means a person who has engaged in a transaction or made an agreement within this chapter or chapter 104A of NRS.

34. Representative includes an agent, an officer of a corporation or association, and a trustee, executor or administrator of an estate, or any other person empowered to act for another.
35. Rights includes remedies.
36. Security interest means an interest in personal property or fixtures which secures payment or performance of an obligation. [The retention or reservation of title by a seller of goods notwithstanding shipment or delivery to the buyer (NRS 104.2401) is limited in effect to a reservation of a security interest.] The term also includes any interest of a consignor and a buyer of accounts , [or] chattel paper [which] , a payment intangible or a promissory note in a transaction that is subject to [article] Article 9.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 370 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
buyer of accounts , [or] chattel paper [which] , a payment intangible or a promissory note in a transaction that is subject to [article] Article 9. The special property interest of a buyer of goods on identification of such goods to a contract for sale under NRS 104.2401 is not a security interest, but a buyer may also acquire a security interest by complying with [article 9. Unless a consignment is intended as security, reservation of title thereunder is not a security interest but a consignment is in any event subject to the provisions on consignment sales (NRS 104.2326).] Article 9. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 104.2505, the right of a seller or lessor of goods under Article 2 or 2A to retain or acquire possession of the goods is not a security interest, but a seller or lessor may also acquire a security interest by complying with Article 9. The retention or reservation of title by a seller of goods notwithstanding shipment or delivery to the buyer (NRS 104.2401) is limited in effect to a reservation of a security interest. Whether a transaction creates a lease or security interest is determined by the facts of each case; however, a transaction creates a security interest if the consideration the lessee is to pay the lessor for the right to possession and use of the goods is an obligation for the term of the lease not subject to termination by the lessee, and:
(a) The original term of the lease is equal to or greater than the remaining economic life of the goods;
(b) The lessee is bound to renew the lease for the remaining economic life of the goods or is bound to become the owner of the goods;
(c) The lessee has an option to renew the lease for the remaining economic life of the goods for no additional consideration or nominal additional consideration upon compliance with the lease agreement; or
(d) The lessee has an option to become the owner of the goods for no additional consideration or nominal additional consideration upon compliance with the lease agreement.
37. A transaction does not create a security interest merely because it provides that:
(a) The present value of the consideration the lessee is obligated to pay the lessor for the right to possession and use of the goods is substantially equal to or is greater than the fair market value of the goods at the time the lease is entered into;
(b) The lessee assumes risk of loss of the goods, or agrees to pay taxes, insurance, filing, recording or registration fees, or service or maintenance costs with respect to the goods;
(c) The lessee has an option to renew the lease or to become the owner of the goods;
(d) The lessee has an option to renew the lease for a fixed rent that is equal to or greater than the reasonably predictable fair market rent for the use of the goods for the term of the renewal at the time the option is to be performed; or
(e) The lessee has an option to become the owner of the goods for a fixed price that is equal to or greater than the reasonably predictable fair market value of the goods at the time the option is to be performed.
38. For the purposes of this subsection and subsections 36 and 37:
(a) Additional consideration is not nominal if:
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 371 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(1) When the option to renew the lease is granted to the lessee the rent is stated to be the fair market rent for the use of the goods for the term of the renewal determined at the time the option is to be performed; or
(2) When the option to become the owner of the goods is granted to the lessee the price is stated to be the fair market value of the goods determined at the time the option is to be performed.
Additional consideration is nominal if it is less than the lessees reasonably predictable cost of performing under the lease agreement if the option is not exercised.
(b) Reasonably predictable and remaining economic life of the goods are to be determined with reference to the facts and circumstances at the time the transaction is entered into.
(c) Present value means the amount as of a date certain of one or more sums payable in the future, discounted to the date certain. The discount is determined by the interest rate specified by the parties if the rate is not manifestly unreasonable at the time the transaction is entered into; otherwise, the discount is determined by a commercially reasonable rate that takes into account the facts and circumstances of each case at the time the transaction was entered into.
39. Send in connection with any writing or notice means to deposit in the mail or deliver for transmission by any other usual means of communication with postage or cost of transmission provided for and properly addressed and in the case of an instrument to an address specified thereon or otherwise agreed, or if there be none to any address reasonable under the circumstances. The receipt of any writing or notice within the time at which it would have arrived if properly sent has the effect of a proper sending.
40. Signed includes any symbol executed or adopted by a party with present intention to authenticate a writing.
41. Surety includes guarantor.
42. Telegram includes a message transmitted by radio, teletype, cable, any mechanical method of transmission, or the like.
43. Term means that portion of an agreement which relates to a particular matter.
44. Unauthorized signature means one made without actual, implied or apparent authority and includes a forgery.
45. Except as otherwise provided with respect to negotiable instruments and bank collections (NRS 104.3303, 104.4210 and 104.4211) a person gives value for rights if he acquires them:
(a) In return for a binding commitment to extend credit or for the extension of immediately available credit whether or not drawn upon and whether or not a charge-back is provided for in the event of difficulties in collection;
(b) As security for or in total or partial satisfaction of a preexisting claim;
(c) By accepting delivery pursuant to a preexisting contract for purchase; or
(d) Generally, in return for any consideration sufficient to support a simple contract.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 372 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
46. Warehouse receipt means a receipt issued by a person engaged in the business of storing goods for hire.
47. Written or writing includes printing, typewriting or any other intentional reduction to tangible form.
Sec. 139. NRS 104.1206 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.1206 1. Except in the cases described in subsection 2 of this section a contract for the sale of personal property is not enforceable by way of action or defense beyond $5,000 in amount or value of remedy unless there is some writing which indicates that a contract for sale has been made between the parties at a defined or stated price, reasonably identifies the subject matter, and is signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought or by his authorized agent.
2. Subsection 1 of this section does not apply to contracts for the sale of goods (NRS 104.2201) nor of securities (NRS 104.8113) nor to security agreements [(NRS 104.9203).] (section 14 of this act).

Sec. 141. NRS 104.2210 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.2210 1. A party may perform his duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless the other party has a substantial interest in having his original promisor perform or control the acts required by the contract. No delegation of performance relieves the party delegating of any duty to perform or any liability for breach.
2. [Unless] Except as otherwise provided in section 69 of this act, unless otherwise agreed , all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase materially the burden or risk imposed on him by his contract, or impair materially his chance of obtaining return performance. A right to damages for breach of the whole contract or a right arising out of the assignors due performance of his entire obligation can be assigned despite agreement otherwise.
3. Unless the circumstances indicate the contrary a prohibition of assignment of the contract is to be construed as barring only the delegation to the assignee of the assignors performance.
4. An assignment of the contract or of all my rights under the contract or an assignment in similar general terms is an assignment of rights and unless the language or the circumstances (as in an assignment for security) indicate the contrary, it is a delegation of performance of the duties of the assignor and its acceptance by the assignee constitutes a promise by him to perform those duties. This promise is enforceable by either the assignor or the other party to the original contract.
5. The other party may treat any assignment which delegates performance as creating reasonable grounds for insecurity and may without prejudice to his rights against the assignor demand assurances from the assignee (NRS 104.2609).
Sec. 142. NRS 104.2326 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.2326 1. Unless otherwise agreed, if delivered goods may be returned by the buyer even though they conform to the contract, the transaction is:
(a) A sale on approval if the goods are delivered primarily for use; and
(b) A sale or return if the goods are delivered primarily for resale.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 374 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
2. [Except as provided in subsection 3, goods] Goods held on approval are not subject to the claims of the buyers creditors until acceptance; goods held on sale or return are subject to such claims while in the buyers possession.
3. [Where goods are delivered to a person for sale and such person maintains a place of business at which he deals in goods of the kind involved, under a name other than the name of the person making delivery, then with respect to claims of creditors of the person conducting the business the goods are deemed to be on sale or return. The provisions of this subsection are applicable even though an agreement purports to reserve title to the person making delivery until payment or resale or uses such words as on consignment or on memorandum. However, this subsection is not applicable if the person making delivery:
(a) Complies with an applicable law providing for a consignors interest or the like to be evidenced by a sign; or
(b) Establishes that the person conducting the business is generally known by his creditors to be substantially engaged in selling the goods of others; or
(c) Complies with the filing provisions of the article on secured transactions (article 9).
4.] Any or return term of a contract for sale is to be treated as a separate contract for sale within the statute of frauds section of this article (NRS 104.2201) and as contradicting the sale aspect of the contract within the provisions of this article on parol or extrinsic evidence (NRS 104.2202).
Sec. 143. NRS 104.2502 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.2502 1. Subject to subsection 2 and even though the goods have not been shipped a buyer who has paid a part or all of the price of goods in which he has a special property under the provisions of the immediately preceding section may on making and keeping good a tender of any unpaid portion of their price recover them from the seller if [the] :
(a) In the case of goods bought for personal, family or household purposes, the seller repudiates or fails to deliver as required by the contract; or
(b) In all cases, the seller becomes insolvent within 10 days after receipt of the first installment on their price.
2. If the identification creating his special property has been made by the buyer he acquires the right to recover the goods only if they conform to the contract for sale.
Sec. 144. NRS 104.2716 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.2716 1. Specific performance may be decreed where the goods are unique or in other proper circumstances.
2. The decree for specific performance may include such terms and conditions as to payment of the price, damages or other relief as the court may deem just.
3. The buyer has a right of replevin for goods identified to the contract if after reasonable effort he is unable to effect cover for such goods or the circumstances reasonably indicate that such effort will be unavailing or if the goods have been shipped under reservation and satisfaction of the security interest in them has been made or tendered. In the case of goods bought for personal, family or household purposes, the buyers right of replevin vests upon acquisition of a special property, even if the seller had not then repudiated or failed to deliver.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 375 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
upon acquisition of a special property, even if the seller had not then repudiated or failed to deliver.
Sec. 145. NRS 104.4210 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.4210 1. A collecting bank has a security interest in an item and any accompanying documents or the proceeds of either:
(a) In case of an item deposited in an account to the extent to which credit given for the item has been withdrawn or applied;
(b) In case of an item for which it has given credit available for withdrawal as of right, to the extent of the credit given, whether or not the credit is drawn upon or there is a right of charge-back; or
(c) If it makes an advance on or against the item.
2. If credit given for several items received at one time or pursuant to a single agreement is withdrawn or applied in part the security interest remains upon all the items, any accompanying documents or the proceeds of either. For the purpose of this section, credits first given are first withdrawn.
3. Receipt by a collecting bank of a final settlement for an item is a realization on its security interest in the item, accompanying documents, and proceeds. To the extent and so long as the bank does not receive final settlement for the item or give up possession of the item or accompanying documents for purposes other than collection, the security interest continues and is subject to the provisions of [article] Article 9 except that:
(a) No security agreement is necessary to make the security interest enforceable [(paragraph (a) of subsection 1 of NRS 104.9203);] subparagraph (1) of paragraph (c) of subsection 2 of section 14 of this act;
(b) No filing is required to perfect the security interest; and
(c) The security interest has priority over conflicting perfected security interests in the item, accompanying documents, or proceeds.
Sec. 146. NRS 104.7503 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.7503 1. A document of title confers no right in goods against a person who before issuance of the document had a legal interest or a perfected security interest in them and who neither:
(a) Delivered or entrusted them or any document of title covering them to the bailor or his nominee with actual or apparent authority to ship, store or sell or with power to obtain delivery under this article (NRS 104.7403) or with power of disposition under this chapter (NRS 104.2403 and [104.9307)] section 41 of this act) or other statute or rule of law; nor
(b) Acquiesced in the procurement by the bailor or his nominee of any document of title.
2. Title to goods based upon an unaccepted delivery order is subject to the rights of anyone to whom a negotiable warehouse receipt or bill of lading covering the goods has been duly negotiated. Such a title may be defeated under the next section to the same extent as the rights of the issuer or a transferee from the issuer.
3. Title to goods based upon a bill of lading issued to a freight forwarder is subject to the rights of anyone to whom a bill issued by the freight forwarder is duly negotiated; but delivery by the carrier in accordance with part 4 of this article pursuant to its own bill of lading discharges the carriers obligation to deliver.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 376 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
Sec. 147. NRS 104.8103 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.8103 1. A share or similar equity interest issued by a corporation, business trust, joint stock company or similar entity is a security.
2. An investment company security is a security. Investment company security means a share or similar equity interest issued by an entity that is registered as an investment company under the federal investment company laws, an interest in a unit investment trust that is so registered or a face-amount certificate issued by a face-amount certificate company that is so registered. The term does not include an insurance policy or endowment policy or annuity contract issued by an insurance company.
3. An interest in a partnership or limited-liability company is not a security unless it is dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, its terms expressly provide that it is a security governed by this article, or it is an investment company security. However, an interest in a partnership or limited-liability company is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account.
4. A writing that is a security certificate is governed by this article and not by article 3, even though it also meets the requirements of that article. However, a negotiable instrument governed by article 3 is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account.
5. An option or similar obligation issued by a clearing corporation to its participants is not a security, but is a financial asset.
6. A commodity contract, as defined in [NRS 104.9115,] paragraph (o) of subsection 1 of section 3 of this act is not a security or a financial asset.
Sec. 148. NRS 104.8106 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.8106 1. A purchaser has control of a certificated security in bearer form if it is delivered to him.
2. A purchaser has control of a certificated security in registered form if it is delivered to him and:
(a) The certificate is endorsed to him or in blank by an effective endorsement; or
(b) The certificate is registered in his name, upon original issue or registration of transfer by the issuer.
3. A purchaser has control of an uncertificated security if:
(a) It is delivered to him; or
(b) The issuer has agreed that it will comply with instructions originated by him without further consent by the registered owner.
4. A purchaser has control of a security entitlement if:
(a) He becomes the entitlement holder; [or]
(b) The securities intermediary has agreed that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by him without further consent by the entitlement holder [.] ; or
(c) Another person has control of the security entitlement on his behalf or, having previously acquired control of the security entitlement, acknowledges that it has control on his behalf.
5. If an interest in a security entitlement is granted by the entitlement holder to the entitlement holders own securities intermediary, the securities intermediary has control.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 377 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
6. A purchaser who has satisfied the requirements of [paragraph (b) of] subsection 3 or [paragraph (b) of subsection] 4 has control even if the registered owner in the case of [paragraph (b) of] subsection 3 or the entitlement holder in the case of [paragraph (b) of] subsection 4 retains the right to make substitutions for the uncertificated security or security entitlement, originate instructions or entitlement orders to the issuer or securities intermediary or otherwise deal with the uncertificated security or security entitlement.
7. An issuer or a securities intermediary may not enter into an agreement of the kind described in paragraph (b) of subsection 3 or paragraph (b) of subsection 4 without the consent of the registered owner or entitlement holder, but an issuer or a securities intermediary is not required to enter into such an agreement even if the registered owner or entitlement holder so directs. An issuer or securities intermediary that has entered into such an agreement is not required to confirm the existence of the agreement to another party unless requested to do so by the registered owner or entitlement holder.
Sec. 149. NRS 104.8110 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.8110 1. The local law of the issuers jurisdiction, as specified in subsection 4, governs:
(a) The validity of a security;
(b) The rights and duties of the issuer with respect to registration of transfer;
(c) The effectiveness of registration of transfer by the issuer;
(d) Whether the issuer owes any duties to an adverse claimant to a security; and
(e) Whether an adverse claim can be asserted against a person to whom transfer of a certificated or uncertificated security is registered or a person who obtains control of an uncertificated security.
2. The local law of the securities intermediarys jurisdiction, as specified in subsection 5, governs:
(a) Acquisition of a security entitlement from the securities intermediary;
(b) The rights and duties of the securities intermediary and entitlement holder arising out of a security entitlement;
(c) Whether the securities intermediary owes any duties to an adverse claimant to a security entitlement; and
(d) Whether an adverse claim can be asserted against a person who acquires a security entitlement from the securities intermediary or a person who purchases a security entitlement or interest therein from an entitlement holder.
3. The local law of the jurisdiction in which a security certificate is located at the time of delivery governs whether an adverse claim can be asserted against a person to whom the security certificate is delivered.
4. Issuers jurisdiction means the jurisdiction under which the issuer of the security is organized or, if permitted by the law of that jurisdiction, the law of another jurisdiction specified by the issuer. An issuer organized under the law of this state may specify the law of another jurisdiction as the law governing the matters specified in paragraphs (b) to (e), inclusive, of subsection 1.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 378 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
5. The following rules determine a securities intermediarys jurisdiction for purposes of this section:
(a) If an agreement between the securities intermediary and its entitlement holder [specifies that it is governed by the law of a particular jurisdiction,] expressly provides the securities intermediarys jurisdiction for purposes of this part, this article or the Uniform Commercial Code, that jurisdiction is the securities intermediarys jurisdiction.
(b) If paragraph (a) does not apply and an agreement between the securities intermediary and its entitlement holder governing the securities account expressly provides that the agreement is governed by the law of a particular jurisdiction, that jurisdiction is the securities intermediarys jurisdiction.
(c) If neither paragraph (a) nor paragraph (b) applies and an agreement between the securities intermediary and its entitlement holder [does not specify the governing law as provided in paragraph (a), but expressly specifies] governing the securities account expressly provides that the securities account is maintained at an office in a particular jurisdiction, that jurisdiction is the securities intermediarys jurisdiction.
[(c) If an agreement between the securities intermediary and its entitlement holder does not specify a jurisdiction as provided in paragraph (a) or (b),]
(d) If neither paragraph (a) nor paragraph (b) nor paragraph (c) applies, the securities intermediarys jurisdiction is the jurisdiction in which [is located] the office identified in an account statement as the office serving the entitlement holders account [.] is located.

(e) If none of the preceding paragraphs applies, the securities intermediarys jurisdiction is the jurisdiction in which its chief executive office is located.
6. A securities intermediarys jurisdiction is not determined by the physical location of certificates representing financial assets, or by the jurisdiction in which is organized the issuer of the financial asset with respect to which an entitlement holder has a security entitlement or by the location of facilities for data processing or other record keeping concerning the account.

Sec. 151. NRS 104.8302 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104.8302 1. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2 and 3, [upon delivery] a purchaser of a certificated or uncertificated security [to a purchaser, the purchaser] acquires all rights in the security that the transferor had or had power to transfer.
2. A purchaser of a limited interest acquires rights only to the extent of the interest purchased.
3. A purchaser of a certificated security who as a previous holder had notice of an adverse claim does not improve its position by taking from a protected purchaser.
Sec. 152. NRS 104.8510 is hereby amended to read as follows:

[An] In a case not covered by the rules of priority in Article 9 or the rules stated in subsection 3, an action based on an adverse claim to a financial asset or security entitlement, whether framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or other theory, may not be asserted against a person who purchases a security entitlement, or an interest therein, from an entitlement holder if the purchaser gives value, does not have notice of the adverse claim and obtains control.
2. If an adverse claim could not have been asserted against an entitlement holder under NRS 104.8502, the adverse claim cannot be asserted against a person who purchases a security entitlement, or an interest therein, from the entitlement holder.
3.

Sec. 154. NRS 104A.2303 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104A.2303 1. As used in this section, creation of a security interest includes the sale of a lease contract that is subject to article 9, Secured Transactions, by reason of paragraph [(b)] (c) of subsection 1 of [NRS 104.9102.] section 10 of this act.
2. Except as otherwise provided in [subsections 3 and 4,] subsection 3 and section 70 of this act, a provision in a lease agreement which:
(a) Prohibits the voluntary or involuntary transfer, including a transfer by sale, sublease, creation or enforcement of a security interest, or attachment, levy, or other judicial process, of an interest of a party under the lease contract or of the lessors residual interest in the goods; or
(b) Makes such a transfer an event of default,
gives rise to the rights and remedies provided in subsection [5,] 4, but a transfer that is prohibited or is an event of default under the lease agreement is otherwise effective.
3. [A provision in a lease agreement which prohibits the creation or enforcement of a security interest in an interest of a party under the lease contract or in the lessors residual interest in the goods, or makes such a transfer an event of default, is not enforceable unless, and then only to the extent that, there is an actual transfer by the lessee of the lessees right of possession or use of the goods in violation of the provision or an actual delegation of a material performance of either party to the lease contract in violation of the provision. Neither the granting nor the enforcement of a security interest in the lessors interest under the lease contract or the lessors residual interest in the goods is a transfer that materially impairs the prospect of obtaining return performance by, materially changes the duty of, or materially increases the burden or risk imposed on, the lessee within the purview of subsection 5 unless, and then only to the extent that, there is an actual delegation of a material performance of the lessor.
4.] A provision in a lease agreement which prohibits a transfer of a right to damages for default with respect to the whole lease contract or of a right to payment arising out of the transferors due performance of his entire obligation, or makes such a transfer an event of default, is not enforceable, and such a transfer is not a transfer that materially impairs the prospect of
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 384 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
obtaining return performance by, materially changes the duty of, or materially increases the burden or risk imposed on, the other party to the lease contract within the purview of subsection [5.] 4.
[5.] 4. Except as otherwise provided in [subsections 3 and 4:] subsection 3 and section 70 of this act:
(a) If a transfer is made which is made an event of default under a lease agreement, the party to the lease contract not making the transfer, unless that party waives the default or otherwise agrees, has the rights and remedies described in subsection 2 of NRS 104A.2501.
(b) If paragraph (a) is not applicable and if a transfer is made that is prohibited under a lease agreement or materially impairs the prospect of obtaining return performance by, materially changes the duty of, or materially increases the burden or risk imposed on, the other party to the lease contract, unless the party not making the transfer agrees at any time to the transfer in the lease contract or otherwise, then, except as limited by contract, the transferor is liable to the party not making the transfer for damages caused by the transfer to the extent that the damages could not reasonably be prevented by the party not making the transfer and a court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate relief, including cancellation of the lease contract or an injunction against the transfer.
[6.] 5. A transfer of the lease or of all my rights under the lease, or a transfer in similar general terms, is a transfer of rights, and, unless the language or the circumstances, as in a transfer for security, indicate the contrary, the transfer is a delegation of duties by the transferor to the transferee. Acceptance by the transferee constitutes a promise by him to perform those duties. The promise is enforceable by either the transferor or the other party to the lease contract.
[7.] 6. Unless otherwise agreed by the lessor and the lessee, a delegation of performance does not relieve the transferor as against the other party of any duty to perform or of any liability for default.
[8.] 7. In a consumer lease, to prohibit the transfer of an interest of a party under the lease contract or to make a transfer an event of default, the language must be specific, by a writing, and conspicuous.
Sec. 155. NRS 104A.2307 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104A.2307 1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 104A.2306, a creditor of a lessee takes subject to the lease contract.
2. Except as otherwise provided in [subsections 3 and 4 of this section] subsection 3 and in NRS 104A.2306 and 104A.2308, a creditor of a lessor takes subject to the lease contract unless [:
(a) The] the creditor holds a lien that attached to the goods before the lease contract became enforceable . [;
(b) The creditor holds a security interest in the goods and the lessee did not give value and receive delivery of the goods without knowledge of the security interest; or
(c) The creditor holds a security interest in the goods which was perfected (NRS 104.9303) before the lease contract became enforceable.
3. A lessee in the ordinary course of business takes the leasehold interest free of a security interest in the goods created by the lessor even though the security interest is perfected (NRS 104.9303) and the lessee knows of its existence.
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 385 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
security interest is perfected (NRS 104.9303) and the lessee knows of its existence.
4. A lessee other than a lessee in the ordinary course of business takes the leasehold interest free of a security interest to the extent that it secures future advances made after the secured party acquires knowledge of the lease or more than 45 days after the lease contract becomes enforceable, whichever first occurs, unless the future advances are made pursuant to a commitment entered into without knowledge of the lease and before the expiration of the 45-day period.]
3. Except as otherwise provided in sections 38, 42 and 44 of this act, a lessee takes a leasehold subject to a security interest held by a creditor of the lessor.
Sec. 156. NRS 104A.2309 is hereby amended to read as follows:
104A.2309 1. In this section:
(a) Goods are fixtures when they become so related to particular real estate that an interest in them arises under real estate law;
(b) A fixture filing is the filing, in the office where a mortgage on the real estate would be filed or recorded, of a financing statement covering goods that are or are to become fixtures and conforming to the requirements of [subsection 5 of NRS 104.9402;] subsections 1 and 2 of section 74 of this act;
(c) A lease is a purchase money lease unless the lessee has possession or use of the goods or the right to possession or use of the goods before the lease agreement is enforceable;
(d) A mortgage is a construction mortgage to the extent it secures an obligation incurred for the construction of an improvement on land including the acquisition cost of the land, if the recorded writing so indicates; and
(e) Encumbrance includes real estate mortgages and other liens on real estate and all other rights in real estate that are not ownership interests.
2. Under this article a lease may be of goods that are fixtures or may continue in goods that become fixtures, but no lease exists under this article of ordinary building materials incorporated into an improvement on land.
3. This article does not prevent creation of a lease of fixtures pursuant to real estate law.
4. The perfected interest of a lessor of fixtures has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real estate if:
(a) The lease is a purchase money lease, the conflicting interest of the encumbrancer or owner arises before the goods become fixtures, the interest of the lessor is perfected by a fixture filing before the goods become fixtures or within ten days thereafter, and the lessee has an interest of record in the real estate or is in possession of the real estate; or
(b) The interest of the lessor is perfected by a fixture filing before the interest of the encumbrancer or owner is of record, the lessors interest has priority over any conflicting interest of a predecessor in title of the encumbrancer or owner, and the lessee has an interest of record in the real estate or is in possession of the real estate.
5. The interest of a lessor of fixtures, whether or not perfected, has priority over the conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real estate if:
κ1999 Statutes of Nevada, Page 386 (CHAPTER 104, SB 62)κ
(a) The fixtures are readily removable factory or office machines, readily removable equipment that is not primarily used or leased for use in the operation of the real estate, or readily removable replacements of domestic appliances that are goods subject to a consumer lease, and before the goods become fixtures the lease contract is enforceable;
(b) The conflicting interest is a lien on the real estate obtained by legal or equitable proceedings after the lease contract is enforceable;
(c) The encumbrancer or owner has consented in writing to the lease or has disclaimed an interest in the goods as fixtures; or
(d) The lessee has a right to remove the goods as against the encumbrancer or owner. If the lessees right to remove terminates, the priority of the interest of the lessor continues for a reasonable time.
6. Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of subsection 4 but otherwise subject to subsections 4 and 5, the interest of a lessor of fixtures, including his residual interest, is subordinate to the conflicting interest of an encumbrancer of the real estate under a construction mortgage recorded before the goods become fixtures if the goods become fixtures before the completion of the construction. To the extent given to refinance a construction mortgage, the conflicting interest of an encumbrancer of the real estate under a mortgage has this priority to the same extent as the encumbrancer of the real estate under the construction mortgage.
7. In cases not within the preceding subsections, priority between the interest of a lessor of fixtures, including his residual interest, and the conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real estate who is not the lessee is determined by the priority rules governing conflicting interests in real estate.
8. If the interest of a lessor of fixtures, including his residual interest, has priority over all conflicting interests of all owners and encumbrancers of the real estate, the lessor or the lessee may:
(a) On default, expiration, termination or cancellation of the lease agreement but subject to the lease agreement and this article; or
(b) If necessary to enforce his other rights and remedies under this article,
remove the goods from the real estate, free and clear of all conflicting interests of all owners and encumbrancers of the real estate, but he must reimburse any encumbrancer or owner of the real estate who is not the lessee and who has not otherwise agreed for the cost of repair of any physical injury, but not for any diminution in value of the real estate caused by the absence of the goods removed or by any necessity of replacing them. A person entitled to reimbursement may refuse permission to remove until the party seeking removal gives adequate security for the performance of this obligation.
9. Even though the lease agreement does not create a security interest, the interest of a lessor of fixtures, including his residual interest, is perfected by filing a financing statement as a fixture filing for leased goods that are or are to become fixtures in accordance with the relevant provisions of [the article] Article 9 on secured transactions . [(article 9).]

Sec. 163. NRS 116.3116 is hereby amended to read as follows:
