  Section 2-A-306. Priority of Certain Liens Arising by Operation of Law.
    If  a  person  in the ordinary course of his or her business furnishes
  services or materials with respect to goods subject to a lease contract,
  a lien upon those goods in  the  possession  of  that  person  given  by
  statute  or  rule  of law for those materials or services takes priority
  over any interest of the lessor or lessee under the  lease  contract  or
  this  Article  unless  the  lien  is  created by statute and the statute
  provides otherwise or unless the lien is created by rule of law and  the
  rule of law provides otherwise.
