Carol made a promissory note in the amount of $25,000 in favor of Barb on January 1 to be due in nine months. In exchange for a loan for her business, Barb granted Bank a security interest in this note on February 1 of the same year. Bank’s security interest in the note attached against Barb. Bank promptly filed a financing statement to perfect its interest in the note and did not take possession of the note. On February 15 of the same year, Barb negotiated the note to Jim for $23,500, and Barb then spent this money on her business. Jim had no reason to know or suspect that Barb had granted a security interest in the note to the Bank and took the instrument in good faith and without notice of any defenses to payment on the instrument or other claims of ownership. If Barb defaults on her loan and does not pay Bank, which party is entitled to the $25,000 note and why?
