(B) temporarily under R.S. 10:9-312(e), (f), or (g); and

(b) Lien creditor. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (c), a security interest is subordinate to the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor to the extent that the security interest secures an advance made more than forty-five days after the person becomes a lien creditor unless the advance is made:
