	(a)	applies only to prescribed goods that are for the time being situated in the State; and

	(3b)	If the holder of a security interest is subrogated under subsection (3a) to rights of the owner of goods, the third party obtains a good discharge for any payment made or consideration given in respect of the goods by the third party before the third party receives notice from the holder of the security interest of rights of the holder under that subsection.
