Section 9--201. General Effectiveness of Security Agreement.

(a) General effectiveness. Except as otherwise provided in this
chapter, a security agreement is effective according to its terms
between the parties, against purchasers of the collateral, and against
creditors.

(b) Applicable consumer laws and other law. A transaction subject to
this article is subject to:

(1) any applicable rule of law which establishes a different rule

for consumers;

(2) any other statute or regulation of this state which regulates

the rates, charges, agreements and practices for loans,

credit sales or other extensions of credit;

(3) any consumer protection statute or regulation of this state.

(c) Other applicable law controls. In case of conflict between this
article and a rule of law, statute, or regulation described in
subsection (b), the rule of law, statute, or regulation controls.
Failure to comply with a statute or regulation described in subsection
(b) has only the effect the statute or regulation specifies.

(d) Further deference to other applicable law. This article does not:

(1) validate any rate, charge, agreement, or practice that

violates a rule of law, statute, or regulation described in

subsection (b); or

(2) extend the application of the rule of law, statute, or

regulation to a transaction not otherwise subject to it.
