(a) When priority based on time of advance. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), for purposes of determining the priority of a perfected security interest under 12A:9-322 (a) (1), perfection of the security interest dates from the time an advance is made to the extent that the security interest secures an advance that:

(A) under 12A:9-309 when it attaches; or
(B) temporarily under 12A:9-312 (e), (f) or (g); and
(2) is not made pursuant to a commitment entered into before or while the security interest is perfected by a method other than under 12A:9-309 or 12A:9-312 (e), (f) or (g).
(b) Lien creditor. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), a security interest is subordinate to the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor to the extent that the security interest secures an advance made more than 45 days after the person becomes a lien creditor unless the advance is made:
(1) without knowledge of the lien; or
(2) pursuant to a commitment entered into without knowledge of the lien.
(c) Buyer of receivables. Subsections (a) and (b) do not apply to a security interest held by a secured party that is a buyer of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes, or a consignor.

(1) the time the secured party acquires knowledge of the buyer's purchase; or
(2) 45 days after the purchase.
