New Jersey § 12a:2a-310

§ 12a:2a-310.

(1) Goods are “ accessions ” when they are installed in or affixed to other goods. (2) The interest of a lessor or a lessee under a lease contract entered into before

the goods became accessions is superior to all interests in the whole except as stated

in subsection (4). (3) The interest of a lessor or a lessee under a lease contract entered into at the

time or after the goods became accessions is superior to all subsequently acquired

interests in the whole except as stated in subsection (4) but is subordinate to interests

in the whole existing at the time the lease contract was made unless the holders of

the interests in the whole have in writing consented to the lease or disclaimed an

interest in the goods as part of the whole. (4) The interest of a lessor or a lessee under a lease contract described in subsection

(2) or (3) is subordinate to the interest of (a) a buyer in the ordinary course of business or a lessee in the ordinary course

of business of any interest in the whole acquired after the goods became accessions;

or (b) a creditor with a security interest in the whole perfected before the lease contract

was made to the extent that the creditor makes subsequent advances without knowledge

of the lease contract. (5) When under subsections (2) or (3) and (4) a lessor or a lessee of accessions holds

an interest that is superior to all interests in the whole, the lessor or the lessee

may (a) on default, expiration, termination, or cancellation of the lease contract

by the other party but subject to the provisions of the lease contract and this chapter,

or (b) if necessary to enforce the lessor's or lessee's other rights and remedies

under this chapter, remove the goods from the whole, free and clear of all interests

in the whole, but the lessor or lessee shall reimburse any holder of an interest in

the whole 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 whole caused by

the absence of the goods removed or by any necessity for 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.
