If a person in the ordinary course of his or her business furnishes

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.
