* NOTE: This section, as added by Laws 2000, chapter 399, *article 1, section 26, is effective July 1, 2001. Laws 2000, *chapter 399, article 1, section 130.
* NOTE: Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 336.9-306, which *reads as follows, is repealed July 1, 2001. Laws 2000, chapter *399, article 1, section 130.
* "336.9-306 "Proceeds"; secured party's rights on *disposition of collateral.
* (1) "Proceeds" includes whatever is received upon the sale, *exchange, collection or other disposition of collateral or *proceeds. Insurance payable by reason of loss or damage to the *collateral is proceeds, except to the extent that it is payable *to a person other than a party to the security agreement. Any *payments or distributions made with respect to investment *property collateral are proceeds. Money, checks, deposit *accounts, and the like, are "cash proceeds." All other proceeds *are "noncash proceeds."
* (2) Except where this article otherwise provides, a *security interest continues in collateral notwithstanding sale, *exchange or other disposition thereof unless the disposition was *authorized by the secured party in the security agreement or *otherwise, and also continues in any identifiable proceeds *including collections received by the debtor.
* (3) The security interest in proceeds is a continuously *perfected security interest if the interest in the original *collateral was perfected but it ceases to be a perfected *security interest and becomes unperfected 20 days after receipt *of the proceeds by the debtor unless
* (a) a filed financing statement covers the original *collateral and the proceeds are collateral in which a security *interest may be perfected by filing in the office or offices *where the financing statement has been filed and, if the *proceeds are acquired with cash proceeds, the description of *collateral in the financing statement indicates the types of *property constituting the proceeds; or
* (b) a filed financing statement covers the original *collateral and the proceeds are identifiable cash proceeds; or
* (c) the original collateral was investment property and the *proceeds are identifiable cash proceeds; or
* (d) the security interest in the proceeds is perfected *before the expiration of the 20-day period.
* Except as provided in this section, a security interest in *proceeds can be perfected only by the methods or under the *circumstances permitted in this article for original collateral *of the same type.
* (4) In the event of insolvency proceedings instituted by or *against a debtor, a secured party with a perfected security *interest in proceeds has a perfected security interest only in *the following proceeds:
* (a) in identifiable noncash proceeds and in separate *deposit accounts containing only proceeds;
* (b) in identifiable cash proceeds in the form of money *which is neither commingled with other money nor deposited in a *deposit account prior to the insolvency proceedings;
* (c) in identifiable cash proceeds in the form of checks and *the like which are not deposited in a deposit account prior to *the insolvency proceedings; and
* (d) in all cash and deposit accounts of the debtor, in *which proceeds have been commingled with other funds, but the *perfected security interest under this paragraph (d) is
* (i) subject to any right of setoff; and
* (ii) limited to an amount not greater than the amount of *any cash proceeds received by the debtor within 20 days before *the institution of the insolvency proceedings less the sum of *(I) the payments to the secured party on account of cash *proceeds received by the debtor during such period and (II) the *cash proceeds received by the debtor during such period to which *the secured party is entitled under paragraphs (a) to (c) of *this subsection (4).
* (5) If a sale of goods results in an account or chattel *paper which is transferred by the seller to a secured party, and *if the goods are returned to or are repossessed by the seller or *the secured party, the following rules determine priorities:
* (a) If the goods were collateral at the time of sale for an *indebtedness of the seller which is still unpaid, the original *security interest attaches again to the goods and continues as a *perfected security interest if it was perfected at the time when *the goods were sold. If the security interest was originally *perfected by a filing which is still effective, nothing further *is required to continue the perfected status; in any other case, *the secured party must take possession of the returned or *repossessed goods or must file.
* (b) An unpaid transferee of the chattel paper has a *security interest in the goods against the transferor. Such *security interest is prior to a security interest asserted under *paragraph (a) to the extent that the transferee of the chattel *paper was entitled to priority under section 336.9-308.
* (c) An unpaid transferee of the account has a security *interest in the goods against the transferor. Such security *interest is subordinate to a security interest asserted under *paragraph (a).
* (d) A security interest of an unpaid transferee asserted *under paragraph (b) or (c) must be perfected for protection *against creditors of the transferor and purchasers of the *returned or repossessed goods."
