(1) Consumer goods, other than an accession when given as additional security, unless the debtor acquires rights in them within ten days after the secured party gives value; or
(2) A commercial tort claim.
(c) A security agreement may provide that collateral secures, or that accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles or promissory notes are sold in connection with, future advances or other value, whether or not the advances or value are given pursuant to commitment.
Security agreement including as collateral all inventory “owned or hereafter acquired” was applicable to inventory acquired after the agreement was filed. 168 C. 152.
Mere possession of property by debtor does not give him rights in it which he is required to have before it can be collateral in a security transaction. 25 CS 327. Cited. 35 CS 73.
