4. After the court's release or conveyance, the interest holder shall dispose of the property by a commercially reasonable public sale, and within ten days of disposition shall tender to the state the amount received at disposition less the amount of the interest holder's encumbrance and reasonable expense incurred by the interest holder in connection with the sale or disposal. For the purposes of this chapter "commercially reasonable" shall be a sale or disposal that would be commercially reasonable under section 47-9504.

D. On order of the court forfeiting the subject property, the attorney for the state may transfer good and sufficient title to any subsequent purchaser or transferee, and the title shall be recognized by all courts, by this state and by all departments and agencies of this state and any political subdivision.

E. On entry of judgment for a claimant or claimants in any proceeding to forfeit property under this chapter such property or interest in property shall be returned or conveyed immediately to the claimant or claimants designated by the court.

Unless a consignment is intended as security, reservation of title thereunder is not a "security interest", but a consignment in any event is subject to the provisions on consignment sales (section 47-2326).

For purposes of this paragraph, the following apply:

(a) 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:

(i) The original term of the lease is equal to or greater than the remaining economic life of the goods;

(ii) 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;

(iii) 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

(iv) 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.

(b) A transaction does not create a security interest merely because it provides that:

(i) 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;

(ii) 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;

(iii) The lessee has an option to renew the lease or to become the owner of the goods;

(iv) 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

(v) 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.

(c) Additional consideration is not nominal if 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 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.

(d) Additional consideration is nominal if it is less than the lessee's reasonably predictable cost of performing under the lease agreement if the option is not exercised.

(e) "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.

(f) "Present value" means the amount as of a date certain of one or more sums payable in the future and 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.

38. "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.

39. "Signed" includes any symbol executed or adopted by a party with present intention to authenticate a writing.

40. "Surety" includes guarantor.

41. "Telegram" includes a message transmitted by radio, teletype, cable, any mechanical method of transmission, or the like.

43. "Unauthorized" signature means one made without actual, implied or apparent authority and includes a forgery.

44. "Value". Except as otherwise provided with respect to negotiable instruments and bank collections (sections 47-3303, 47-4210 and 47-4211) 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; or

(b) As security for or in total or partial satisfaction of a preexisting claim; or

(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.

Sec. 15. Section 47-2210, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-2210 . Delegation of performance; assignment of rights

A. 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.

B. 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 assignor's due performance of his entire obligation can be assigned despite agreement otherwise.

C. THE CREATION, ATTACHMENT, PERFECTION OR ENFORCEMENT OF A SECURITY INTEREST IN THE SELLER'S INTEREST UNDER A CONTRACT IS NOT A TRANSFER THAT MATERIALLY CHANGES THE DUTY OF OR INCREASES MATERIALLY THE BURDEN OR RISK IMPOSED ON THE BUYER OR IMPAIRS MATERIALLY THE BUYER'S CHANCE OF OBTAINING RETURN PERFORMANCE WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF SUBSECTION B UNLESS, AND THEN ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT, ENFORCEMENT ACTUALLY RESULTS IN A DELEGATION OF MATERIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE SELLER. EVEN IN THAT EVENT, THE CREATION, ATTACHMENT, PERFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SECURITY INTEREST REMAIN EFFECTIVE, BUT:

1. THE SELLER IS LIABLE TO THE BUYER FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE DELEGATION TO THE EXTENT THAT THE DAMAGES COULD NOT REASONABLY BE PREVENTED BY THE BUYER; AND

2. A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION MAY GRANT OTHER APPROPRIATE RELIEF, INCLUDING CANCELLATION OF THE CONTRACT FOR SALE OR AN INJUNCTION AGAINST ENFORCEMENT OF THE SECURITY INTEREST OR CONSUMMATION OF THE ENFORCEMENT.

C. D. 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 assignor's performance.

D. E. 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.

E. F. 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 (section 47-2609).

Sec. 16. Section 47-2326, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-2326 . Sale on approval and sale or return; rights of creditors

A. Unless otherwise agreed, if delivered goods may be returned by the buyer even though they conform to the contract, the transaction is:

1. A "sale on approval" if the goods are delivered primarily for use, and

2. A "sale or return" if the goods are delivered primarily for resale.

B. Except as provided in subsection C of this section, Goods held on approval are not subject to the claims of the buyer's creditors until acceptance; goods held on sale or return are subject to such claims while in the buyer's possession.

C. 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:

1. Complies with an applicable law providing for a consignor's interest or the like to be evidenced by a sign, or

2. Establishes that the person conducting the business is generally known by his creditors to be substantially engaged in selling the goods of others, or

3. Complies with the filing provisions of the chapter on secured transactions (chapter 9 of this title).

D. C. 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 chapter (section 47-2201) and as contradicting the sale aspect of the contract within the provisions of this chapter on parol or extrinsic evidence (section 47-2202).

Sec. 17. Section 47-2502, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-2502 . Buyer's right to goods on seller's insolvency

A. Subject to subsection SUBSECTIONS B AND C of this section 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 section 47-2501 may on making and keeping good a tender of any unpaid portion of their price recover them from the seller if :

1. 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

2. IN ALL CASES, the seller becomes insolvent within ten days after receipt of the first installment on their price.

B. THE BUYER'S RIGHT TO RECOVER THE GOODS UNDER SUBSECTION A, PARAGRAPH 1 OF THIS SECTION VESTS ON ACQUISITION OF A SPECIAL PROPERTY, EVEN IF THE SELLER HAD NOT THEN REPUDIATED OR FAILED TO DELIVER.

B. C. 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. 18. Section 47-2716, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-2716 . Buyer's right to specific performance or replevin

A. Specific performance may be decreed where the goods are unique or in other proper circumstances.

B. 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.

C. 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 BUYER'S RIGHT OF REPLEVIN VESTS ON ACQUISITION OF A SPECIAL PROPERTY, EVEN IF THE SELLER HAD NOT THEN REPUDIATED OR FAILED TO DELIVER.

Sec. 20. Section 47-2A303, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-2A303 . Alienability of party's interest under lease contract or of lessor's residual interest in goods; delegation of performance; transfer of rights

A. As used in this section, "creation of a security interest" includes the sale of a lease contract that is subject to chapter 9 of this title, secured transactions, by reason of section 47-9102 47-9109, SUBSECTION A, PARAGRAPH 3 .

B. Except as provided in subsections SUBSECTION C and D of this section AND SECTION 47-9407 , a provision in a lease agreement which 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 lessor's residual interest in the goods, or makes such a transfer an event of default, gives rise to the rights and remedies provided in subsection E D of this section, but a transfer that is prohibited or is an event of default under the lease agreement is otherwise effective.

C. 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 lessor's 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 lessee's 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 lessor's interest under the lease contract or the lessor's 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 E of this section unless, and then only to the extent that, there is an actual delegation of a material performance of the lessor.

D. C. 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 transferor's due performance of the transferor's 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 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 E D of this section.

E. D. Subject to subsections SUBSECTION C and D of this section AND SECTION 47-9407 :

1. 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 section 47-2A501, subsection B;

2. If paragraph 1 of this subsection 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.

F. E. 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 the transferee to perform those duties. The promise is enforceable by either the transferor or the other party to the lease contract.

G. F. 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.

H. G. 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. 21. Section 47-2A307, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-2A307 . Priority of liens arising by attachment or levy on, security interests in and other claims to goods

A. Except as otherwise provided in section 47-2A306, a creditor of a lessee takes subject to the lease contract.

B. Except as otherwise provided in subsections SUBSECTION C and D of this section and in sections 47-2A306 and 47-2A308, a creditor of a lessor takes subject to the lease contract unless :

1. the creditor holds a lien that attached to the goods before the lease contract became enforceable ; .

2. 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

3. The creditor holds a security interest in the goods which was perfected (section 47-9303) before the lease contract became enforceable.

C. 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 (section 47-9303) and the lessee knows of its existence.

D. 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 forty-five 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 forty-five day period.

C. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 47-9317, 47-9321 AND 47-9323, A LESSEE TAKES A LEASEHOLD INTEREST SUBJECT TO A SECURITY INTEREST HELD BY A CREDITOR OF THE LESSOR.

Sec. 22. Section 47-2A309, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-2A309 . Lessor's and lessee's rights when goods become fixtures

A. In this section:

1. Goods are "fixtures" when they become so related to particular real estate that an interest in them arises under real estate law;

2. A "fixture filing" is the filing, in the office where a RECORD OF 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 section 47-9402, subsection E 47-9502, SUBSECTIONS A AND B ;

3. 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;

4. 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

5. "Encumbrance" includes real estate mortgages and other liens on real estate and all other rights in real estate that are not ownership interests.

B. 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.

C. This article does not prevent creation of a lease of fixtures pursuant to real estate law.

D. The perfected interest of a lessor of fixtures has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real estate if:

1. 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

2. The interest of the lessor is perfected by a fixture filing before the interest of the encumbrancer or owner is of record, the lessor's 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.

E. 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:

1. 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;

2. The conflicting interest is a lien on the real estate obtained by legal or equitable proceedings after the lease contract is enforceable;

3. The encumbrancer or owner has consented in writing to the lease or has disclaimed an interest in the goods as fixtures; or

4. The lessee has a right to remove the goods as against the encumbrancer or owner. If the lessee's right to remove terminates, the priority of the interest of the lessor continues for a reasonable time.

F. Notwithstanding subsection D, paragraph 1 of this section but otherwise subject to subsections D and E of this section, the interest of a lessor of fixtures, including the lessor's 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.

G. In cases not within the preceding subsections, priority between the interest of a lessor of fixtures, including the lessor's 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.

H. If the interest of a lessor of fixtures, including the lessor's residual interest, has priority over all conflicting interests of all owners and encumbrancers of the real estate, the lessor or the lessee may on default, expiration, termination or cancellation of the lease agreement but subject to the lease agreement and this chapter, or if necessary to enforce other rights and remedies of the lessor or lessee under this chapter, remove the goods from the real estate, free and clear of all conflicting interests of all owners and encumbrancers of the real estate, but the lessor or lessee 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.

I. Even though the lease agreement does not create a security interest, the interest of a lessor of fixtures, including the lessor's 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 chapter on secured transactions (chapter 9 of this title).

Sec. 23. Section 47-4210, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-4210 . Security interest of collecting bank in items, accompanying documents and proceeds

A. A collecting bank has a security interest in an item and any accompanying documents or the proceeds of either:

1. In case of an item deposited in an account, to the extent to which credit given for the item has been withdrawn or applied;

2. 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

3. If it makes an advance on or against the item.

B. 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.

C. 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. 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 to that extent and is subject to chapter 9 of this title, but:

1. No security agreement is necessary to make the security interest enforceable (section 47-9203, subsection A B , paragraph 1 3, SUBDIVISION (a));

2. No filing is required to perfect the security interests; and

3. The security interest has priority over conflicting perfected security interests in the item, accompanying documents or proceeds.

Sec. 24. Title 47, chapter 5, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding section 47-5118, to read:

47-5118 . Security interest of issuer or nominated person

A. AN ISSUER OR NOMINATED PERSON HAS A SECURITY INTEREST IN A DOCUMENT PRESENTED UNDER A LETTER OF CREDIT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE ISSUER OR NOMINATED PERSON HONORS OR GIVES VALUE FOR THE PRESENTATION.

B. AS LONG AS AND TO THE EXTENT THAT AN ISSUER OR 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 A OF THIS SECTION, THE SECURITY INTEREST CONTINUES AND IS SUBJECT TO CHAPTER 9 OF THIS TITLE, BUT:

1. A SECURITY AGREEMENT IS NOT NECESSARY TO MAKE THE SECURITY INTEREST ENFORCEABLE UNDER SECTION 47-9203, SUBSECTION B, PARAGRAPH 3;

2. IF THE DOCUMENT IS PRESENTED IN A MEDIUM OTHER THAN A WRITTEN OR OTHER TANGIBLE MEDIUM, THE SECURITY INTEREST IS PERFECTED; AND

3. IF THE DOCUMENT IS PRESENTED IN A WRITTEN OR OTHER TANGIBLE MEDIUM AND IS NOT A CERTIFICATED SECURITY, CHATTEL PAPER, A DOCUMENT OF TITLE, AS INSTRUMENT OR A LETTER OF CREDIT, THE SECURITY INTEREST IS PERFECTED AND HAS PRIORITY OVER CONFLICTING SECURITY INTEREST IN THE DOCUMENT AS LONG AS THE DEBTOR DOES NOT HAVE POSSESSION OF THE DOCUMENT.

(a) Fixtures (section 47-9313 47-9102 , subsection A, paragraph 1 41 ) other than readily removable factory and office machines;

(b) The lessee's interest in a lease of real property; or

(c) Property to the extent it is generally exempt from creditor process under nonbankruptcy law.

2. "Auctioneer" means a person whom the seller engages to direct, conduct, control or be responsible for a sale by auction.

3. "Bulk sale" means:

(a) In the case of a sale by auction or a sale or series of sales conducted by a liquidator on the seller's behalf, a sale or series of sales not in the ordinary course of the seller's business of more than half of the seller's inventory, as measured by value on the date of the bulk-sale agreement, if on that date the auctioneer or liquidator has notice, or after reasonable inquiry would have had notice, that the seller will not continue to operate the same or a similar kind of business after the sale or series of sales; and

(b) In all other cases, a sale not in the ordinary course of the seller's business of more than half the seller's inventory, as measured by value on the date of the bulk-sale agreement, if on that date the buyer has notice, or after reasonable inquiry would have had notice, that the seller will not continue to operate the same or a similar kind of business after the sale.

4. "Claim" means a right to payment from the seller, whether or not the right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, fixed, matured, disputed, secured, legal or equitable. The term includes costs of collection and attorney fees only to the extent that the laws of this state permit the holder of the claim to recover them in an action against the obligor.

5. "Claimant" means a person holding a claim incurred in the seller's business other than:

(a) An unsecured and unmatured claim for employment compensation and benefits, including commissions and vacation, severance and sick-leave pay;

(b) A claim for injury to an individual or to property, or for breach of warranty, unless:

(ii) In all other cases, the later of the date on which more than ten per cent of the net contract price is paid to or for the benefit of the seller or more than ten per cent of the assets, as measured by value, are transferred to the buyer.

(b) For purposes of this paragraph:

(i) Delivery of a negotiable instrument (section 47-3104, subsection A) to or for the benefit of the seller in exchange for assets constitutes payment of the contract price pro tanto;

(ii) To the extent that the contract price is deposited in an escrow, the contract price is paid to or for the benefit of the seller when the seller acquires the unconditional right to receive the deposit or when the deposit is delivered to the seller or for the benefit of the seller, whichever is earlier; and

(iii) An asset is transferred when a person holding an unsecured claim can no longer obtain through judicial proceedings rights to the asset that are superior to those of the buyer arising as a result of the bulk sale. A person holding an unsecured claim can obtain those superior rights to a tangible asset at least until the buyer has an unconditional right, under the bulk-sale agreement, to possess the asset, and a person holding an unsecured claim can obtain those superior rights to an intangible asset at least until the buyer has an unconditional right, under the bulk-sale agreement, to use the asset.

8. "Date of the bulk-sale agreement" means:

(b) The amount of any debt to the extent it is secured by a security interest or lien that is enforceable against the asset before and after it has been sold to a buyer. If a debt is secured by an asset and other property of the seller, the amount of the debt secured by a security interest or lien that is enforceable against the asset is determined by multiplying the debt by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the new consideration for the asset on the date of the bulk sale and the denominator of which is the value of all property securing the debt on the date of the bulk sale.

12. "Net proceeds" means the new consideration received for assets sold at a sale by auction or a sale conducted by a liquidator on the seller's behalf less:

(a) Commissions and reasonable expenses of the sale;

(b) The amount of any proceeds of the sale of an asset, to the extent the proceeds are applied in partial or total satisfaction of a debt secured by the asset; and

(c) The amount of any debt to the extent it is secured by a security interest or lien that is enforceable against the asset before and after it has been sold to a buyer. If a debt is secured by an asset and other property of the seller, the amount of the debt secured by a security interest or lien that is enforceable against the asset is determined by multiplying the debt by a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of the new consideration for the asset on the date of the bulk sale and the denominator of which is the value of all property securing the debt on the date of the bulk sale.

13. A sale is "in the ordinary course of the seller's business" if the sale comports with usual or customary practices in the kind of business in which the seller is engaged or with the seller's own usual or customary practices.

14. "United States" includes its territories and possessions and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

3. "Inventory". Section 47-9109, paragraph 4 47-9102, SUBSECTION A, PARAGRAPH 48 .

4. "Sale". Section 47-2106, subsection A.

(b) A value of more than twenty-five million dollars on the date of the bulk-sale agreement; or

Sec. 27. Section 47-7503, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-7503 . Document of title to goods defeated in certain cases

1. 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 chapter (section 47-7403) or with power of disposition under this title (sections 47-2403 and 47-9307 47-9320 ) or other statute or rule of law; nor

2. Acquiesced in the procurement by the bailor or his nominee of any document of title.

B. 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 section 47-7504 to the same extent as the rights of the issuer or a transferee from the issuer.

C. 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 article 4 of this chapter pursuant to its own bill of lading discharges the carrier's obligation to deliver.

Sec. 28. Section 47-8103, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

47-8103 . Rules for determining whether certain obligations and interests as securities or financial assets

A. A share or similar equity interest issued by a corporation, business trust, joint stock company or similar entity is a security.

B. 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. Investment company security does not include an insurance policy or endowment policy or annuity contract issued by an insurance company.

C. 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 chapter, 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.

D. A writing that is a security certificate is governed by this chapter and not by chapter 3 of this title, even though it also meets the requirements of that chapter. However, a negotiable instrument governed by chapter 3 of this title is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account.

E. An option or similar obligation issued by a clearing corporation to its participants is not a security, but is a financial asset.

F. A commodity contract, as defined in section 47-9115 47-9102 , is not a security or a financial asset.

Sec. 29. Section 47-8106, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
