(e)  Subject to subsection (c) of this section, a grant of authority not pertaining to transfers of real property and contained in an effective statement of authority is conclusive in favor of a person that gives value in reliance on the grant, except to the extent that when the person gives value:

(1)  The person has knowledge to the contrary;

(2)  The statement has been canceled or restrictively amended under subsection (b) of this section; or

(3)  A limitation on the grant is contained in another statement of authority that became effective after the statement containing the grant became effective.

(1)  The statement has been canceled or restrictively amended under subsection (b) of this section; or

(2)  A limitation on the grant is contained in another statement of authority that became effective after the statement containing the grant became effective.

The statement operates as provided in subsections (f) and (g) of this section.

(j)  Unless earlier canceled, an effective statement of authority is canceled by operation of law five (5) years after the date on which the statement, or its most recent amendment, becomes effective.
