Item 1

 
that a seller of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, or
promissory notes retains no interest in the collateral and so is
not disadvantaged by the secured party's noncompliance with the
requirements of this section. Accordingly, subsection (d) [Maine
cite subsection (4)] provides that subsection (a) [Maine cite
subsection (1)] applies only to security interests that secure an
obligation and to sales of receivables in which the buyer has
recourse against the debtor. (Of course, a buyer of accounts or
payment intangibles could not have "possession" of original
collateral, but might have possession of proceeds, such as
promissory notes or checks.) The meaning of "recourse" in this
respect is limited to recourse arising out of the account
debtor's failure to pay or other default.

 
Subsection (d) [Maine cite subsection (4)] makes subsections
(b) and (c) [Maine cite subsections (2) and (3)] inapplicable to
buyers of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, or
promissory notes and consignors. Of course, there is no reason
to believe that a buyer of receivables or a consignor could not,
for example, create a security interest or otherwise transfer an
interest in the collateral, regardless of who has possession of
the collateral. However, this section leaves the rights of those
owners to law other than Article 9 [Maine cite Article 9-A].
