§12A-9-102.
   
   Policy and Subject Matter of Article.
   
   (1) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9-104 of this title on
   excluded transactions, this article applies:
   
   (a) to any transaction, regardless of its form, which is intended to
   create a security interest in personal property or fixtures including
   goods, documents, instruments, general intangibles, chattel paper or
   accounts; and also
   
   (b) to any sale of accounts or chattel paper.
   
   (2) This article applies to security interests created by contract
   including pledge, assignment, chattel mortgage, chattel trust, trust
   deed, factor's lien, equipment trust, conditional sale, trust receipt,
   other lien or title retention contract and lease or consignment
   intended as security. This article does not apply to statutory liens
   except as provided in Section 9-310 of this title.
   
   (3) The application of this article to a security interest in a
   secured obligation is not affected by the fact that the obligation is
   itself secured by a transaction or interest to which this article does
   not apply.
   
   (4) This article does not prevent the transfer of ownership of
   accounts or chattel paper. The determination of whether a particular
   transfer of accounts or chattel paper constitutes a sale or a transfer
   for security purposes is not governed by this article.
