§ 9326 — Priority of security interests created by new debtor

(a) Subordination of security interest created by new debtor.--Subject to subsection (b), a security interest that is created by a new debtor in collateral in which the new debtor has or acquires rights and is perfected solely by a filed financing statement which would be ineffective to perfect the security interest but for the application of section 9316(i)(1) (relating to effect of change in governing law) or 9508 (relating to effectiveness of financing statement if new debtor becomes bound by security agreement) is subordinate to a security interest in the same collateral which is perfected other than by such a filed financing statement.

(b) Priority under other provisions; multiple original debtors.--The other provisions of this chapter determine the priority among conflicting security interests in the same collateral perfected by filed financing statements described in subsection (a). However, if the security agreements to which a new debtor became bound as debtor were not entered into by the same original debtor, the conflicting security interests rank according to priority in time of the new debtor's having become bound.
