30-9-306. "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 chapter 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) (a) 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 10 days after receipt of the proceeds by the debtor unless:
     (i) 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;
     (ii) a filed financing statement covers the original collateral and the proceeds are identifiable cash proceeds;
     (iii) the original collateral was investment property and the proceeds are identifiable cash proceeds; or
     (iv) the security interest in the proceeds is perfected before the expiration of the 10-day period.
     (b) 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 chapter 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 subsection (4)(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 10 days before the institution of the insolvency proceedings less the sum of:
     (A) the payments to the secured party on account of cash proceeds received by the debtor during such period; and
     (B) the cash proceeds received by the debtor during such period to which the secured party is entitled under subsections (4)(a) through (4)(c).
     (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. The security interest is prior to a security interest asserted under subsection (5)(a) to the extent that the transferee of the chattel paper was entitled to priority under 30-9-308.
     (c) An unpaid transferee of the account has a security interest in the goods against the transferor. The security interest is subordinate to a security interest asserted under subsection (5)(a).
     (d) A security interest of an unpaid transferee asserted under subsection (5)(b) or (5)(c) must be perfected for protection against creditors of the transferor and purchasers of the returned or repossessed goods.
