 17 26 obligor incurred as all or part of the price of the collateral
 17 27 or for value given to enable the debtor to acquire rights in
 17 28 or the use of the collateral if the value is in fact so used.
 17 29    2.  PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTEREST IN GOODS.  A security
 17 30 interest in goods is a purchase-money security interest:
 17 31    a.  to the extent that the goods are purchase-money
 17 32 collateral with respect to that security interest;
 17 33    b.  if the security interest is in inventory that is or was
 17 34 purchase-money collateral, also to the extent that the
 17 35 security interest secures a purchase-money obligation incurred
 18  1 with respect to other inventory in which the secured party
 18  2 holds or held a purchase-money security interest; and
 18  3    c.  also to the extent that the security interest secures a
 18  4 purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to software in

 18  6 security interest.
 18  7    3.  PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTEREST IN SOFTWARE.  A
 18  8 security interest in software is a purchase-money security
 18  9 interest to the extent that the security interest also secures
 18 10 a purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to goods in
 18 11 which the secured party holds or held a purchase-money
 18 12 security interest if:
 18 13    a.  the debtor acquired its interest in the software in an
 18 14 integrated transaction in which it acquired an interest in the
 18 15 goods; and

 18 17 the principal purpose of using the software in the goods.
 18 18    4.  CONSIGNOR'S INVENTORY PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTEREST.

 18 22    5.  APPLICATION OF PAYMENT IN NONCONSUMER-GOODS
 18 23 TRANSACTION.  In a transaction other than a consumer-goods
 18 24 transaction, if the extent to which a security interest is a
 18 25 purchase-money security interest depends on the application of
 18 26 a payment to a particular obligation, the payment must be
 18 27 applied:
 18 28    a.  in accordance with any reasonable method of application
 18 29 to which the parties agree;
 18 30    b.  in the absence of the parties' agreement to a
 18 31 reasonable method, in accordance with any intention of the
 18 32 obligor manifested at or before the time of payment; or
 18 33    c.  in the absence of an agreement to a reasonable method
 18 34 and a timely manifestation of the obligor's intention, in the

 19  4 which those obligations were incurred.
 19  5    6.  NO LOSS OF STATUS OF PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTEREST
 19  6 IN NONCONSUMER-GOODS TRANSACTION.  In a transaction other than
 19  7 a consumer-goods transaction, a purchase-money security
 19  8 interest does not lose its status as such, even if:
 19  9    a.  the purchase-money collateral also secures an
 19 10 obligation that is not a purchase-money obligation;
 19 11    b.  collateral that is not purchase-money collateral also
 19 12 secures the purchase-money obligation; or
 19 13    c.  the purchase-money obligation has been renewed,
 19 14 refinanced, consolidated, or restructured.
 19 15    7.  BURDEN OF PROOF IN NONCONSUMER-GOODS TRANSACTION.  In a
 19 16 transaction other than a consumer-goods transaction, a secured
 19 17 party claiming a purchase-money security interest has the
 19 18 burden of establishing the extent to which the security
 19 19 interest is a purchase-money security interest.
 19 20    8.  NONCONSUMER-GOODS TRANSACTIONS – NO INFERENCE.  The
 19 21 limitation of the rules in subsections 5, 6, and 7 to
 19 22 transactions other than consumer-goods transactions is
 19 23 intended to leave to the court the determination of the proper
 19 24 rules in consumer-goods transactions.  The court may not infer
 19 25 from that limitation the nature of the proper rule in
 19 26 consumer-goods transactions and may continue to apply
 19 27 established approaches.

 21 22    Sec. 8.  NEW SECTION.  554.9108  SUFFICIENCY OF
 21 23 DESCRIPTION.
 21 24    1.  SUFFICIENCY OF DESCRIPTION.  Except as otherwise
 21 25 provided in subsections 3, 4, and 5, a description of personal
 21 26 or real property is sufficient, whether or not it is specific,
 21 27 if it reasonably identifies what is described.
 21 28    2.  EXAMPLES OF REASONABLE IDENTIFICATION.  Except as
 21 29 otherwise provided in subsection 4, a description of
 21 30 collateral reasonably identifies the collateral if it
 21 31 identifies the collateral by:
 21 32    a.  specific listing;
 21 33    b.  category;
 21 34    c.  except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, a type of

 22  4 method, if the identity of the collateral is objectively
 22  5 determinable.
 22  6    3.  SUPERGENERIC DESCRIPTION NOT SUFFICIENT.  A description
 22  7 of collateral as "all the debtor's assets" or "all the
 22  8 debtor's personal property" or using words of similar import
 22  9 does not reasonably identify the collateral.
 22 10    4.  INVESTMENT PROPERTY.  Except as otherwise provided in
 22 11 subsection 5, a description of a security entitlement,
 22 12 securities account, or commodity account is sufficient if it
 22 13 describes:
 22 14    a.  the collateral by those terms or as investment
 22 15 property; or
 22 16    b.  the underlying financial asset or commodity contract.
 22 17    5.  WHEN DESCRIPTION BY TYPE INSUFFICIENT.  A description
 22 18 only by type of collateral defined in this chapter is an

 27  2 ENFORCEABILITY OF SECURITY INTEREST – PROCEEDS – SUPPORTING
 27  3 OBLIGATIONS – FORMAL REQUISITES.
 27  4    1.  ATTACHMENT.  A security interest attaches to collateral
 27  5 when it becomes enforceable against the debtor with respect to
 27  6 the collateral, unless an agreement expressly postpones the
 27  7 time of attachment.
 27  8    2.  ENFORCEABILITY.  Except as otherwise provided in
 27  9 subsections 3 through 9, a security interest is enforceable
 27 10 against the debtor and third parties with respect to the
 27 11 collateral only if:
 27 12    a.  value has been given;
 27 13    b.  the debtor has rights in the collateral or the power to
 27 14 transfer rights in the collateral to a secured party; and
 27 15    c.  one of the following conditions is met:
 27 16    (1)  the debtor has authenticated a security agreement that
 27 17 provides a description of the collateral and, if the security
 27 18 interest covers timber to be cut, a description of the land
 27 19 concerned;
 27 20    (2)  the collateral is not a certificated security and is
 27 21 in the possession of the secured party under section 554.9313
 27 22 pursuant to the debtor's security agreement;
 27 23    (3)  the collateral is a certificated security in
 27 24 registered form and the security certificate has been
 27 25 delivered to the secured party under section 554.8301 pursuant
 27 26 to the debtor's security agreement; or
 27 27    (4)  the collateral is deposit accounts, electronic chattel
 27 28 paper, investment property, or letter-of-credit rights, and
 27 29 the secured party has control under section 554.9104,
 27 30 554.9105, 554.9106, or 554.9107 pursuant to the debtor's
 27 31 security agreement.
 27 32    3.  OTHER UCC PROVISIONS.  Subsection 2 is subject to
 27 33 section 554.4210 on the security interest of a collecting
 27 34 bank, section 554.5118 on the security interest of a letter-
 27 35 of-credit issuer or nominated person, section 554.9110 on a
 28  1 security interest arising under Article 2 or 13, and section
 28  2 554.9206 on security interests in investment property.
 28  3    4.  WHEN PERSON BECOMES BOUND BY ANOTHER PERSON'S SECURITY
 28  4 AGREEMENT.  A person becomes bound as debtor by a security
 28  5 agreement entered into by another person if, by operation of
 28  6 law other than this Article or by contract:
 28  7    a.  the security agreement becomes effective to create a
 28  8 security interest in the person's property; or
 28  9    b.  the person becomes generally obligated for the
 28 10 obligations of the other person, including the obligation
 28 11 secured under the security agreement, and acquires or succeeds
 28 12 to all or substantially all of the assets of the other person.
 28 13    5.  EFFECT OF NEW DEBTOR BECOMING BOUND.  If a new debtor
 28 14 becomes bound as debtor by a security agreement entered into
 28 15 by another person:
 28 16    a.  the agreement satisfies subsection 2, paragraph "c",
 28 17 with respect to existing or after-acquired property of the new
 28 18 debtor to the extent the property is described in the
 28 19 agreement; and
 28 20    b.  another agreement is not necessary to make a security
 28 21 interest in the property enforceable.
 28 22    6.  PROCEEDS AND SUPPORTING OBLIGATIONS.  The attachment of
 28 23 a security interest in collateral gives the secured party the
 28 24 rights to proceeds provided by section 554.9315 and is also
 28 25 attachment of a security interest in a supporting obligation
 28 26 for the collateral.
 28 27    7.  LIEN SECURING RIGHT TO PAYMENT.  The attachment of a
 28 28 security interest in a right to payment or performance secured
 28 29 by a security interest or other lien on personal or real
 28 30 property is also attachment of a security interest in the
 28 31 security interest, mortgage, or other lien.
 28 32    8.  SECURITY ENTITLEMENT CARRIED IN SECURITIES ACCOUNT.
 28 33 The attachment of a security interest in a securities account
 28 34 is also attachment of a security interest in the security
 28 35 entitlements carried in the securities account.
 29  1    9.  COMMODITY CONTRACTS CARRIED IN COMMODITY ACCOUNT.  The
 29  2 attachment of a security interest in a commodity account is
 29  3 also attachment of a security interest in the commodity
 29  4 contracts carried in the commodity account.
 29  5    Sec. 14.  NEW SECTION.  554.9204  AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY
 29  6 – FUTURE ADVANCES.
 29  7    1.  AFTER-ACQUIRED COLLATERAL.  Except as otherwise
 29  8 provided in subsection 2, a security agreement may create or
 29  9 provide for a security interest in after-acquired collateral.
 29 10    2.  WHEN AFTER-ACQUIRED PROPERTY CLAUSE NOT EFFECTIVE.  A
 29 11 security interest does not attach under a term constituting an
 29 12 after-acquired property clause to:
 29 13    a.  consumer goods, other than an accession when given as
 29 14 additional security, unless the debtor acquires rights in them
 29 15 within ten days after the secured party gives value; or
 29 16    b.  a commercial tort claim.
 29 17    3.  FUTURE ADVANCES AND OTHER VALUE.  A security agreement
 29 18 may provide that collateral secures, or that accounts, chattel
 29 19 paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes are sold in
 29 20 connection with, future advances or other value, whether or
 29 21 not the advances or value are given pursuant to commitment.
 29 22    Sec. 15.  NEW SECTION.  554.9205  USE OR DISPOSITION OF
 29 23 COLLATERAL PERMISSIBLE.
 29 24    1.  WHEN SECURITY INTEREST NOT INVALID OR FRAUDULENT.  A
 29 25 security interest is not invalid or fraudulent against
 29 26 creditors solely because:
 29 27    a.  the debtor has the right or ability to:
 29 28    (1)  use, commingle, or dispose of all or part of the
 29 29 collateral, including returned or repossessed goods;
 29 30    (2)  collect, compromise, enforce, or otherwise deal with
 29 31 collateral;
 29 32    (3)  accept the return of collateral or make repossessions;
 29 33 or
 29 34    (4)  use, commingle, or dispose of proceeds; or
 29 35    b.  the secured party fails to require the debtor to
 30  1 account for proceeds or replace collateral.
 30  2    2.  REQUIREMENTS OF POSSESSION NOT RELAXED.  This section
 30  3 does not relax the requirements of possession if attachment,
 30  4 perfection, or enforcement of a security interest depends upon
 30  5 possession of the collateral by the secured party.
 30  6    Sec. 16.  NEW SECTION.  554.9206  SECURITY INTEREST ARISING
 30  7 IN PURCHASE OR DELIVERY OF FINANCIAL ASSET.
 30  8    1.  SECURITY INTEREST WHEN PERSON BUYS THROUGH SECURITIES
 30  9 INTERMEDIARY.  A security interest in favor of a securities
 30 10 intermediary attaches to a person's security entitlement if:

 30 12 securities intermediary in a transaction in which the person
 30 13 is obligated to pay the purchase price to the securities
 30 14 intermediary at the time of the purchase; and
 30 15    b.  the securities intermediary credits the financial asset
 30 16 to the buyer's securities account before the buyer pays the
 30 17 securities intermediary.
 30 18    2.  SECURITY INTEREST SECURES OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR
 30 19 FINANCIAL ASSET.  The security interest described in
 30 20 subsection 1 secures the person's obligation to pay for the
 30 21 financial asset.
 30 22    3.  SECURITY INTEREST IN PAYMENT AGAINST DELIVERY
 30 23 TRANSACTION.  A security interest in favor of a person that
 30 24 delivers a certificated security or other financial asset
 30 25 represented by a writing attaches to the security or other
 30 26 financial asset if:
 30 27    a.  the security or other financial asset:
 30 28    (1)  in the ordinary course of business is transferred by
 30 29 delivery with any necessary indorsement or assignment; and

 45 16 PERFECT SECURITY INTEREST OR AGRICULTURAL LIEN – SECURITY
 45 17 INTERESTS AND AGRICULTURAL LIENS TO WHICH FILING PROVISIONS DO
 45 18 NOT APPLY.
 45 19    1.  GENERAL RULE – PERFECTION BY FILING.  Except as
 45 20 otherwise provided in subsection 2 and section 554.9312,
 45 21 subsection 2, a financing statement must be filed to perfect
 45 22 all security interests and agricultural liens.
 45 23    2.  EXCEPTIONS – FILING NOT NECESSARY.  The filing of a
 45 24 financing statement is not necessary to perfect a security
 45 25 interest:
 45 26    a.  that is perfected under section 554.9308, subsection 4,
 45 27 5, 6, or 7;
 45 28    b.  that is perfected under section 554.9309 when it
 45 29 attaches;
 45 30    c.  in property subject to a statute, regulation, or treaty
 45 31 described in section 554.9311, subsection 1;
 45 32    d.  in goods in possession of a bailee which is perfected
 45 33 under section 554.9312, subsection 4, paragraph "a" or "b";
 45 34    e.  in certificated securities, documents, goods, or
 45 35 instruments which is perfected without filing or possession
 46  1 under section 554.9312, subsection 5, 6, or 7;
 46  2    f.  in collateral in the secured party's possession under
 46  3 section 554.9313;

 46  8 investment property, or letter-of-credit rights which is
 46  9 perfected by control under section 554.9314;
 46 10    i.  in proceeds which is perfected under section 554.9315;
 46 11 or
 46 12    j.  that is perfected under section 554.9316.
 46 13    3.  ASSIGNMENT OF PERFECTED SECURITY INTEREST.  If a
 46 14 secured party assigns a perfected security interest or
 46 15 agricultural lien, a filing under this Article is not required
 46 16 to continue the perfected status of the security interest
 46 17 against creditors of and transferees from the original debtor.
 46 18    Sec. 31.  NEW SECTION.  554.9311  PERFECTION OF SECURITY
 46 19 INTERESTS IN PROPERTY SUBJECT TO CERTAIN STATUTES,
 46 20 REGULATIONS, AND TREATIES.
 46 21    1.  SECURITY INTEREST SUBJECT TO OTHER LAW.  Except as
 46 22 otherwise provided in subsection 4, the filing of a financing
 46 23 statement is not necessary or effective to perfect a security
 46 24 interest in property subject to:
 46 25    a.  a statute, regulation, or treaty of the United States
 46 26 whose requirements for a security interest's obtaining
 46 27 priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to
 46 28 the property preempt section 554.9310, subsection 1;
 46 29    b.  any certificate-of-title statute, including as provided
 46 30 in chapter 321, covering automobiles, trailers, mobile homes,
 46 31 boats, farm tractors, or the like, which provides for a
 46 32 security interest to be indicated on the certificate as a
 46 33 condition or result of perfection; or
 46 34    c.  a certificate-of-title statute of another jurisdiction
 46 35 which provides for a security interest to be indicated on the
 47  1 certificate as a condition or result of the security
 47  2 interest's obtaining priority over the rights of a lien
 47  3 creditor with respect to the property.
 47  4    2.  COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAW.  Compliance with the
 47  5 requirements of a statute, regulation, or treaty described in
 47  6 subsection 1 for obtaining priority over the rights of a lien
 47  7 creditor is equivalent to the filing of a financing statement
 47  8 under this Article.  Except as otherwise provided in
 47  9 subsection 4 and sections 554.9313 and 554.9316, subsections 4
 47 10 and 5, for goods covered by a certificate of title, a security
 47 11 interest in property subject to a statute, regulation, or
 47 12 treaty described in subsection 1 may be perfected only by
 47 13 compliance with those requirements, and a security interest so
 47 14 perfected remains perfected notwithstanding a change in the
 47 15 use or transfer of possession of the collateral.
 47 16    3.  DURATION AND RENEWAL OF PERFECTION.  Except as
 47 17 otherwise provided in subsection 4 and section 554.9316,
 47 18 subsections 4 and 5, duration and renewal of perfection of a
 47 19 security interest perfected by compliance with the
 47 20 requirements prescribed by a statute, regulation, or treaty
 47 21 described in subsection 1 are governed by the statute,
 47 22 regulation, or treaty.  In other respects, the security
 47 23 interest is subject to this Article.
 47 24    4.  INAPPLICABILITY TO CERTAIN INVENTORY.  During any
 47 25 period in which collateral subject to a statute specified in
 47 26 subsection 1, paragraph "b" is inventory held for sale or
 47 27 lease by a person or leased by that person as lessor and that
 47 28 person is in the business of selling goods of that kind, this
 47 29 section does not apply to a security interest in that
 47 30 collateral created by that person.
 47 31    Sec. 32.  NEW SECTION.  554.9312  PERFECTION OF SECURITY
 47 32 INTERESTS IN CHATTEL PAPER, DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS, DOCUMENTS, GOODS
 47 33 COVERED BY DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, INVESTMENT PROPERTY,
 47 34 LETTER-OF-CREDIT RIGHTS, AND MONEY – PERFECTION BY PERMISSIVE
 47 35 FILING – TEMPORARY PERFECTION WITHOUT FILING OR TRANSFER OF
 48  1 POSSESSION.
 48  2    1.  PERFECTION BY FILING PERMITTED.  A security interest in
 48  3 chattel paper, negotiable documents, instruments, or
 48  4 investment property may be perfected by filing.
 48  5    2.  CONTROL OR POSSESSION OF CERTAIN COLLATERAL.  Except as
 48  6 otherwise provided in section 554.9315, subsections 3 and 4,
 48  7 for proceeds:
 48  8    a.  a security interest in a deposit account may be
 48  9 perfected only by control under section 554.9314;
 48 10    b.  and except as otherwise provided in section 554.9308,
 48 11 subsection 4, a security interest in a letter-of-credit right
 48 12 may be perfected only by control under section 554.9314; and
 48 13    c.  a security interest in money may be perfected only by
 48 14 the secured party's taking possession under section 554.9313.
 48 15    3.  GOODS COVERED BY NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENT.  While goods are
 48 16 in the possession of a bailee that has issued a negotiable
 48 17 document covering the goods:
 48 18    a.  a security interest in the goods may be perfected by
 48 19 perfecting a security interest in the document; and
 48 20    b.  a security interest perfected in the document has
 48 21 priority over any security interest that becomes perfected in
 48 22 the goods by another method during that time.
 48 23    4.  GOODS COVERED BY NONNEGOTIABLE DOCUMENT.  While goods
 48 24 are in the possession of a bailee that has issued a
 48 25 nonnegotiable document covering the goods, a security interest
 48 26 in the goods may be perfected by:
 48 27    a.  issuance of a document in the name of the secured
 48 28 party;
 48 29    b.  the bailee's receipt of notification of the secured
 48 30 party's interest; or
 48 31    c.  filing as to the goods.
 48 32    5.  TEMPORARY PERFECTION – NEW VALUE.  A security interest
 48 33 in certificated securities, negotiable documents, or
 48 34 instruments is perfected without filing or the taking of
 48 35 possession for a period of twenty days from the time it
 49  1 attaches to the extent that it arises for new value given
 49  2 under an authenticated security agreement.
 49  3    6.  TEMPORARY PERFECTION – GOODS OR DOCUMENTS MADE
 49  4 AVAILABLE TO DEBTOR.  A perfected security interest in a
 49  5 negotiable document or goods in possession of a bailee, other
 49  6 than one that has issued a negotiable document for the goods,
 49  7 remains perfected for twenty days without filing if the
 49  8 secured party makes available to the debtor the goods or
 49  9 documents representing the goods for the purpose of:
 49 10    a.  ultimate sale or exchange; or
 49 11    b.  loading, unloading, storing, shipping, transshipping,
 49 12 manufacturing, processing, or otherwise dealing with them in a
 49 13 manner preliminary to their sale or exchange.
 49 14    7.  TEMPORARY PERFECTION – DELIVERY OF SECURITY
 49 15 CERTIFICATE OR INSTRUMENT TO DEBTOR.  A perfected security
 49 16 interest in a certificated security or instrument remains
 49 17 perfected for twenty days without filing if the secured party
 49 18 delivers the security certificate or instrument to the debtor
 49 19 for the purpose of:
 49 20    a.  ultimate sale or exchange; or
 49 21    b.  presentation, collection, enforcement, renewal, or
 49 22 registration of transfer.
 49 23    8.  EXPIRATION OF TEMPORARY PERFECTION.  After the twenty-
 49 24 day period specified in subsection 5, 6, or 7 expires,
 49 25 perfection depends upon compliance with this Article.
 49 26    Sec. 33.  NEW SECTION.  554.9313  WHEN POSSESSION BY OR
 49 27 DELIVERY TO SECURED PARTY PERFECTS SECURITY INTEREST WITHOUT
 49 28 FILING.
 49 29    1.  PERFECTION BY POSSESSION OR DELIVERY.  Except as
 49 30 otherwise provided in subsection 2, a secured party may
 49 31 perfect a security interest in negotiable documents, goods,
 49 32 instruments, money, or tangible chattel paper by taking
 49 33 possession of the collateral.  A secured party may perfect a
 49 34 security interest in certificated securities by taking
 49 35 delivery of the certificated securities under section
 50  1 554.8301.
 50  2    2.  GOODS COVERED BY CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.  With respect to
 50  3 goods covered by a certificate of title issued by this state,
 50  4 a secured party may perfect a security interest in the goods
 50  5 by taking possession of the goods only in the circumstances
 50  6 described in section 554.9316, subsection 5.
 50  7    3.  COLLATERAL IN POSSESSION OF PERSON OTHER THAN DEBTOR.
 50  8 With respect to collateral other than certificated securities
 50  9 and goods covered by a document, a secured party takes
 50 10 possession of collateral in the possession of a person other
 50 11 than the debtor, the secured party, or a lessee of the
 50 12 collateral from the debtor in the ordinary course of the
 50 13 debtor's business, when:
 50 14    a.  the person in possession authenticates a record
 50 15 acknowledging that it holds possession of the collateral for
 50 16 the secured party's benefit; or
 50 17    b.  the person takes possession of the collateral after
 50 18 having authenticated a record acknowledging that it will hold
 50 19 possession of collateral for the secured party's benefit.
 50 20    4.  TIME OF PERFECTION BY POSSESSION – CONTINUATION OF
 50 21 PERFECTION.  If perfection of a security interest depends upon
 50 22 possession of the collateral by a secured party, perfection
 50 23 occurs no earlier than the time the secured party takes
 50 24 possession and continues only while the secured party retains
 50 25 possession.
 50 26    5.  TIME OF PERFECTION BY DELIVERY – CONTINUATION OF
 50 27 PERFECTION.  A security interest in a certificated security in
 50 28 registered form is perfected by delivery when delivery of the
 50 29 certificated security occurs under section 554.8301 and
 50 30 remains perfected by delivery until the debtor obtains
 50 31 possession of the security certificate.
 50 32    6.  ACKNOWLEDGMENT NOT REQUIRED.  A person in possession of
 50 33 collateral is not required to acknowledge that it holds
 50 34 possession for a secured party's benefit.
 50 35    7.  EFFECTIVENESS OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT – NO DUTIES OR
 51  1 CONFIRMATION.  If a person acknowledges that it holds
 51  2 possession for the secured party's benefit:
 51  3    a.  the acknowledgment is effective under subsection 3 or
 51  4 section 554.8301, subsection 1, even if the acknowledgment
 51  5 violates the rights of a debtor; and
 51  6    b.  unless the person otherwise agrees or law other than
 51  7 this Article otherwise provides, the person does not owe any
 51  8 duty to the secured party and is not required to confirm the
 51  9 acknowledgment to another person.
 51 10    8.  SECURED PARTY'S DELIVERY TO PERSON OTHER THAN DEBTOR.
 51 11 A secured party having possession of collateral does not
 51 12 relinquish possession by delivering the collateral to a person
 51 13 other than the debtor or a lessee of the collateral from the
 51 14 debtor in the ordinary course of the debtor's business if the
 51 15 person was instructed before the delivery or is instructed
 51 16 contemporaneously with the delivery:
 51 17    a.  to hold possession of the collateral for the secured
 51 18 party's benefit; or
 51 19    b.  to redeliver the collateral to the secured party.
 51 20    9.  EFFECT OF DELIVERY UNDER SUBSECTION 8 – NO DUTIES OR
 51 21 CONFIRMATION.  A secured party does not relinquish possession,
 51 22 even if a delivery under subsection 8 violates the rights of a
 51 23 debtor.  A person to which collateral is delivered under
 51 24 subsection 8 does not owe any duty to the secured party and is
 51 25 not required to confirm the delivery to another person unless
 51 26 the person otherwise agrees or law other than this Article
 51 27 otherwise provides.
 51 28    Sec. 34.  NEW SECTION.  554.9314  PERFECTION BY CONTROL.
 51 29    1.  PERFECTION BY CONTROL.  A security interest in
 51 30 investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit
 51 31 rights, or electronic chattel paper may be perfected by
 51 32 control of the collateral under section 554.9104, 554.9105,
 51 33 554.9106, or 554.9107.
 51 34    2.  SPECIFIED COLLATERAL – TIME OF PERFECTION BY CONTROL
 51 35 – CONTINUATION OF PERFECTION.  A security interest in deposit
 52  1 accounts, electronic chattel paper, or letter-of-credit rights
 52  2 is perfected by control under section 554.9104, 554.9105, or
 52  3 554.9107 when the secured party obtains control and remains
 52  4 perfected by control only while the secured party retains
 52  5 control.
 52  6    3.  INVESTMENT PROPERTY – TIME OF PERFECTION BY CONTROL –
 52  7 CONTINUATION OF PERFECTION.  A security interest in investment
 52  8 property is perfected by control under section 554.9106 from
 52  9 the time the secured party obtains control and remains
 52 10 perfected by control until:
 52 11    a.  the secured party does not have control; and
 52 12    b.  one of the following occurs:
 52 13    (1)  if the collateral is a certificated security, the
 52 14 debtor has or acquires possession of the security certificate;
 52 15    (2)  if the collateral is an uncertificated security, the
 52 16 issuer has registered or registers the debtor as the
 52 17 registered owner; or
 52 18    (3)  if the collateral is a security entitlement, the
 52 19 debtor is or becomes the entitlement holder.
 52 20    Sec. 35.  NEW SECTION.  554.9315  SECURED PARTY'S RIGHTS ON
 52 21 DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND IN PROCEEDS.
 52 22    1.  DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL – CONTINUATION OF SECURITY
 52 23 INTEREST OR AGRICULTURAL LIEN – PROCEEDS.  Except as
 52 24 otherwise provided in this Article and in section 554.2403,
 52 25 subsection 2:
 52 26    a.  a security interest or agricultural lien continues in
 52 27 collateral notwithstanding sale, lease, license, exchange, or
 52 28 other disposition thereof unless the secured party authorized
 52 29 the disposition free of the security interest or agricultural
 52 30 lien; and
 52 31    b.  a security interest attaches to any identifiable
 52 32 proceeds of collateral.
 52 33    2.  WHEN COMMINGLED PROCEEDS IDENTIFIABLE.  Proceeds that
 52 34 are commingled with other property are identifiable proceeds:
 52 35    a.  if the proceeds are goods, to the extent provided by
 53  1 section 554.9336; and
 53  2    b.  if the proceeds are not goods, to the extent that the
 53  3 secured party identifies the proceeds by a method of tracing,
 53  4 including application of equitable principles, that is
 53  5 permitted under law other than this Article with respect to
 53  6 commingled property of the type involved.
 53  7    3.  PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST IN PROCEEDS.  A
 53  8 security interest in proceeds is a perfected security interest
 53  9 if the security interest in the original collateral was
 53 10 perfected.
 53 11    4.  CONTINUATION OF PERFECTION.  A perfected security
 53 12 interest in proceeds becomes unperfected on the twenty-first
 53 13 day after the security interest attaches to the proceeds
 53 14 unless:
 53 15    a.  the following conditions are satisfied:
 53 16    (1)  a filed financing statement covers the original
 53 17 collateral;
 53 18    (2)  the proceeds are collateral in which a security
 53 19 interest may be perfected by filing in the office in which the
 53 20 financing statement has been filed; and
 53 21    (3)  the proceeds are not acquired with cash proceeds;
 53 22    b.  the proceeds are identifiable cash proceeds; or
 53 23    c.  the security interest in the proceeds is perfected
 53 24 other than under subsection 3 when the security interest
 53 25 attaches to the proceeds or within twenty days thereafter.
 53 26    5.  WHEN PERFECTED SECURITY INTEREST IN PROCEEDS BECOMES
 53 27 UNPERFECTED.  If a filed financing statement covers the
 53 28 original collateral, a security interest in proceeds which
 53 29 remains perfected under subsection 4, paragraph "a", becomes
 53 30 unperfected at the later of:
 53 31    a.  when the effectiveness of the filed financing statement
 53 32 lapses under section 554.9515 or is terminated under section
 53 33 554.9513; or
 53 34    b.  the twenty-first day after the security interest
 53 35 attaches to the proceeds.
 54  1    Sec. 36.  NEW SECTION.  554.9316  CONTINUED PERFECTION OF
 54  2 SECURITY INTEREST FOLLOWING CHANGE IN GOVERNING LAW.
 54  3    1.  GENERAL RULE – EFFECT ON PERFECTION OF CHANGE IN
 54  4 GOVERNING LAW.  A security interest perfected pursuant to the
 54  5 law of the jurisdiction designated in section 554.9301,
 54  6 subsection 1, or section 554.9305, subsection 3, remains
 54  7 perfected until the earliest of:
 54  8    a.  the time perfection would have ceased under the law of
 54  9 that jurisdiction;
 54 10    b.  the expiration of four months after a change of the
 54 11 debtor's location to another jurisdiction; or
 54 12    c.  the expiration of one year after a transfer of
 54 13 collateral to a person that thereby becomes a debtor and is
 54 14 located in another jurisdiction.
 54 15    2.  SECURITY INTEREST PERFECTED OR UNPERFECTED UNDER LAW OF
 54 16 NEW JURISDICTION.  If a security interest described in
 54 17 subsection 1 becomes perfected under the law of the other
 54 18 jurisdiction before the earliest time or event described in
 54 19 that subsection, it remains perfected thereafter.  If the
 54 20 security interest does not become perfected under the law of
 54 21 the other jurisdiction before the earliest time or event, it
 54 22 becomes unperfected and is deemed never to have been perfected
 54 23 as against a purchaser of the collateral for value.
 54 24    3.  POSSESSORY SECURITY INTEREST IN COLLATERAL MOVED TO NEW
 54 25 JURISDICTION.  A possessory security interest in collateral,
 54 26 other than goods covered by a certificate of title and as-
 54 27 extracted collateral consisting of goods, remains continuously
 54 28 perfected if:
 54 29    a.  the collateral is located in one jurisdiction and
 54 30 subject to a security interest perfected under the law of that
 54 31 jurisdiction;
 54 32    b.  thereafter the collateral is brought into another
 54 33 jurisdiction; and
 54 34    c.  upon entry into the other jurisdiction, the security
 54 35 interest is perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction.
 55  1    4.  GOODS COVERED BY CERTIFICATE OF TITLE FROM THIS STATE.
 55  2 Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, a security
 55  3 interest in goods covered by a certificate of title which is
 55  4 perfected by any method under the law of another jurisdiction
 55  5 when the goods become covered by a certificate of title from
 55  6 this state remains perfected until the security interest would
 55  7 have become unperfected under the law of the other
 55  8 jurisdiction had the goods not become so covered.
 55  9    5.  WHEN SUBSECTION 4 SECURITY INTEREST BECOMES UNPERFECTED
 55 10 AGAINST PURCHASERS.  A security interest described in
 55 11 subsection 4 becomes unperfected as against a purchaser of the
 55 12 goods for value and is deemed never to have been perfected as
 55 13 against a purchaser of the goods for value if the applicable
 55 14 requirements for perfection under section 554.9311, subsection
 55 15 2, or section 554.9313 are not satisfied before the earlier
 55 16 of:
 55 17    a.  the time the security interest would have become
 55 18 unperfected under the law of the other jurisdiction had the
 55 19 goods not become covered by a certificate of title from this
 55 20 state; or
 55 21    b.  the expiration of four months after the goods had
 55 22 become so covered.
 55 23    6.  CHANGE IN JURISDICTION OF BANK, ISSUER, NOMINATED
 55 24 PERSON, SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY, OR COMMODITY INTERMEDIARY.  A
 55 25 security interest in deposit accounts, letter-of-credit
 55 26 rights, or investment property which is perfected under the
 55 27 law of the bank's jurisdiction, the issuer's jurisdiction, a
 55 28 nominated person's jurisdiction, the securities intermediary's
 55 29 jurisdiction, or the commodity intermediary's jurisdiction, as
 55 30 applicable, remains perfected until the earlier of:
 55 31    a.  the time the security interest would have become
 55 32 unperfected under the law of that jurisdiction; or
 55 33    b.  the expiration of four months after a change of the
 55 34 applicable jurisdiction to another jurisdiction.
 55 35    7.  SUBSECTION 6 SECURITY INTEREST PERFECTED OR UNPERFECTED
 56  1 UNDER LAW OF NEW JURISDICTION.  If a security interest
 56  2 described in subsection 6 becomes perfected under the law of
 56  3 the other jurisdiction before the earlier of the time or the
 56  4 end of the period described in that subsection, it remains
 56  5 perfected thereafter.  If the security interest does not
 56  6 become perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction
 56  7 before the earlier of that time or the end of that period, it
 56  8 becomes unperfected and is deemed never to have been perfected
 56  9 as against a purchaser of the collateral for value.

 56 14    1.  CONFLICTING SECURITY INTERESTS AND RIGHTS OF LIEN
 56 15 CREDITORS.  A security interest or agricultural lien is
 56 16 subordinate to the rights of:
 56 17    a.  a person entitled to priority under section 554.9322;
 56 18 and
 56 19    b.  except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, a person
 56 20 that becomes a lien creditor before the earlier of the time:
 56 21    (1)  The security interest or agricultural lien is
 56 22 perfected; or
 56 23    (2)  One of the conditions specified in section 554.9203,
 56 24 subsection 2, paragraph "c" is met and a financing statement
 56 25 covering the collateral is filed.
 56 26    2.  BUYERS THAT RECEIVE DELIVERY.  Except as otherwise
 56 27 provided in subsection 5, a buyer, other than a secured party,
 56 28 of tangible chattel paper, documents, goods, instruments, or a
 56 29 security certificate takes free of a security interest or
 56 30 agricultural lien if the buyer gives value and receives
 56 31 delivery of the collateral without knowledge of the security
 56 32 interest or agricultural lien and before it is perfected.
 56 33    3.  LESSEES THAT RECEIVE DELIVERY.  Except as otherwise
 56 34 provided in subsection 5, a lessee of goods takes free of a
 56 35 security interest or agricultural lien if the lessee gives
 57  1 value and receives delivery of the collateral without
 57  2 knowledge of the security interest or agricultural lien and
 57  3 before it is perfected.
 57  4    4.  LICENSEES AND BUYERS OF CERTAIN COLLATERAL.  A licensee
 57  5 of a general intangible or a buyer, other than a secured
 57  6 party, of accounts, electronic chattel paper, general
 57  7 intangibles, or investment property other than a certificated
 57  8 security takes free of a security interest if the licensee or
 57  9 buyer gives value without knowledge of the security interest
 57 10 and before it is perfected.
 57 11    5.  PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTEREST.  Except as otherwise
 57 12 provided in sections 554.9320 and 554.9321, if a person files
 57 13 a financing statement with respect to a purchase-money
 57 14 security interest before or within twenty days after the
 57 15 debtor receives delivery of the collateral, the security
 57 16 interest takes priority over the rights of a buyer, lessee, or
 57 17 lien creditor which arise between the time the security
 57 18 interest attaches and the time of filing.
 57 19    Sec. 38.  NEW SECTION.  554.9318  NO INTEREST RETAINED IN
 57 20 RIGHT TO PAYMENT THAT IS SOLD – RIGHTS AND TITLE OF SELLER OF
 57 21 ACCOUNT OR CHATTEL PAPER WITH RESPECT TO CREDITORS AND
 57 22 PURCHASERS.
 57 23    1.  SELLER RETAINS NO INTEREST.  A debtor that has sold an
 57 24 account, chattel paper, payment intangible, or promissory note
 57 25 does not retain a legal or equitable interest in the
 57 26 collateral sold.
 57 27    2.  DEEMED RIGHTS OF DEBTOR IF BUYER'S SECURITY INTEREST
 57 28 UNPERFECTED.  For purposes of determining the rights of
 57 29 creditors of, and purchasers for value of an account or
 57 30 chattel paper from, a debtor that has sold an account or
 57 31 chattel paper, while the buyer's security interest is
 57 32 unperfected, the debtor is deemed to have rights and title to
 57 33 the account or chattel paper identical to those the debtor
 57 34 sold.
 57 35    Sec. 39.  NEW SECTION.  554.9319  RIGHTS AND TITLE OF
 58  1 CONSIGNEE WITH RESPECT TO CREDITORS AND PURCHASERS.
 58  2    1.  CONSIGNEE HAS CONSIGNOR'S RIGHTS.  Except as otherwise
 58  3 provided in subsection 2, for purposes of determining the
 58  4 rights of creditors of, and purchasers for value of goods
 58  5 from, a consignee, while the goods are in the possession of
 58  6 the consignee, the consignee is deemed to have rights and
 58  7 title to the goods identical to those the consignor had or had
 58  8 power to transfer.
 58  9    2.  APPLICABILITY OF OTHER LAW.  For purposes of
 58 10 determining the rights of a creditor of a consignee, law other
 58 11 than this Article determines the rights and title of a
 58 12 consignee while goods are in the consignee's possession if,
 58 13 under this part, a perfected security interest held by the
 58 14 consignor would have priority over the rights of the creditor.
 58 15    Sec. 40.  NEW SECTION.  554.9320  BUYER OF GOODS.
 58 16    1.  BUYER IN ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS.  Except as
 58 17 otherwise provided in subsection 5, a buyer in ordinary course
 58 18 of business, other than a person buying farm products from a
 58 19 person engaged in farming operations, takes free of a security
 58 20 interest created by the buyer's seller, even if the security
 58 21 interest is perfected and the buyer knows of its existence.
 58 22    2.  BUYER OF CONSUMER GOODS.  Except as otherwise provided
 58 23 in subsection 5, a buyer of goods from a person who used or
 58 24 bought the goods for use primarily for personal, family, or
 58 25 household purposes takes free of a security interest, even if
 58 26 perfected, if the buyer buys:
 58 27    a.  without knowledge of the security interest;
 58 28    b.  for value;
 58 29    c.  primarily for the buyer's personal, family, or
 58 30 household purposes; and
 58 31    d.  before the filing of a financing statement covering the
 58 32 goods.
 58 33    3.  EFFECTIVENESS OF FILING FOR SUBSECTION 2.  To the
 58 34 extent that it affects the priority of a security interest
 58 35 over a buyer of goods under subsection 2, the period of
 59  1 effectiveness of a filing made in the jurisdiction in which
 59  2 the seller is located is governed by section 554.9316,
 59  3 subsections 1 and 2.
 59  4    4.  BUYER IN ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS AT WELLHEAD OR
 59  5 MINEHEAD.  A buyer in ordinary course of business buying oil,
 59  6 gas, or other minerals at the wellhead or minehead or after
 59  7 extraction takes free of an interest arising out of an
 59  8 encumbrance.
 59  9    5.  POSSESSORY SECURITY INTEREST NOT AFFECTED.  Subsections
 59 10 1 and 2 do not affect a security interest in goods in the
 59 11 possession of the secured party under section 554.9313.
 59 12    Sec. 41.  NEW SECTION.  554.9321  LICENSEE OF GENERAL
 59 13 INTANGIBLE AND LESSEE OF GOODS IN ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS.
 59 14    1.  LICENSEE IN ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS.  In this
 59 15 section, "licensee in ordinary course of business" means a
 59 16 person that becomes a licensee of a general intangible in good
 59 17 faith, without knowledge that the license violates the rights
 59 18 of another person in the general intangible, and in the
 59 19 ordinary course from a person in the business of licensing
 59 20 general intangibles of that kind.  A person becomes a licensee
 59 21 in the ordinary course if the license to the person comports
 59 22 with the usual or customary practices in the kind of business
 59 23 in which the licensor is engaged or with the licensor's own
 59 24 usual or customary practices.
 59 25    2.  RIGHTS OF LICENSEE IN ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS.  A
 59 26 licensee in ordinary course of business takes its rights under
 59 27 a nonexclusive license free of a security interest in the
 59 28 general intangible created by the licensor, even if the
 59 29 security interest is perfected and the licensee knows of its
 59 30 existence.
 59 31    3.  RIGHTS OF LESSEE IN ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS.  A
 59 32 lessee in ordinary course of business takes its leasehold
 59 33 interest free of a security interest in the goods created by
 59 34 the lessor, even if the security interest is perfected and the
 59 35 lessee knows of its existence.
 60  1    Sec. 42.  NEW SECTION.  554.9322  PRIORITIES AMONG
 60  2 CONFLICTING SECURITY INTERESTS IN AND AGRICULTURAL LIENS ON
 60  3 SAME COLLATERAL.
 60  4    1.  GENERAL PRIORITY RULES.  Except as otherwise provided
 60  5 in this section, priority among conflicting security interests
 60  6 and agricultural liens in the same collateral is determined
 60  7 according to the following rules:
 60  8    a.  Conflicting perfected security interests and
 60  9 agricultural liens rank according to priority in time of
 60 10 filing or perfection.  Priority dates from the earlier of the
 60 11 time a filing covering the collateral is first made or the
 60 12 security interest or agricultural lien is first perfected, if
 60 13 there is no period thereafter when there is neither filing nor
 60 14 perfection.
 60 15    b.  A perfected security interest or agricultural lien has
 60 16 priority over a conflicting unperfected security interest or
 60 17 agricultural lien.
 60 18    c.  The first security interest or agricultural lien to
 60 19 attach or become effective has priority if conflicting
 60 20 security interests and agricultural liens are unperfected.
 60 21    2.  TIME OF PERFECTION – PROCEEDS AND SUPPORTING
 60 22 OBLIGATIONS.  For the purposes of subsection 1, paragraph "a":
 60 23    a.  the time of filing or perfection as to a security
 60 24 interest in collateral is also the time of filing or
 60 25 perfection as to a security interest in proceeds; and
 60 26    b.  the time of filing or perfection as to a security
 60 27 interest in collateral supported by a supporting obligation is
 60 28 also the time of filing or perfection as to a security
 60 29 interest in the supporting obligation.
 60 30    3.  SPECIAL PRIORITY RULES – PROCEEDS AND SUPPORTING
 60 31 OBLIGATIONS.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, a
 60 32 security interest in collateral which qualifies for priority
 60 33 over a conflicting security interest under section 554.9327,
 60 34 554.9328, 554.9329, 554.9330, or 554.9331 also has priority
 60 35 over a conflicting security interest in:
 61  1    a.  any supporting obligation for the collateral; and
 61  2    b.  proceeds of the collateral if:
 61  3    (1)  the security interest in proceeds is perfected;
 61  4    (2)  the proceeds are cash proceeds or of the same type as
 61  5 the collateral; and
 61  6    (3)  in the case of proceeds that are proceeds of proceeds,
 61  7 all intervening proceeds are cash proceeds, proceeds of the
 61  8 same type as the collateral, or an account relating to the
 61  9 collateral.
 61 10    4.  FIRST-TO-FILE PRIORITY RULE FOR CERTAIN COLLATERAL.
 61 11 Subject to subsection 5 and except as otherwise provided in
 61 12 subsection 6, if a security interest in chattel paper, deposit
 61 13 accounts, negotiable documents, instruments, investment
 61 14 property, or letter-of-credit rights is perfected by a method
 61 15 other than filing, conflicting perfected security interests in
 61 16 proceeds of the collateral rank according to priority in time
 61 17 of filing.
 61 18    5.  APPLICABILITY OF SUBSECTION 4.  Subsection 4 applies
 61 19 only if the proceeds of the collateral are not cash proceeds,
 61 20 chattel paper, negotiable documents, instruments, investment
 61 21 property, or letter-of-credit rights.
 61 22    6.  LIMITATIONS ON SUBSECTIONS 1 THROUGH 5.  Subsections 1
 61 23 through 5 are subject to:
 61 24    a.  subsection 7 and the other provisions of this part;
 61 25    b.  section 554.4210 with respect to a security interest of
 61 26 a collecting bank;
 61 27    c.  section 554.5118 with respect to a security interest of
 61 28 an issuer or nominated person; and
 61 29    d.  section 554.9110 with respect to a security interest
 61 30 arising under Article 2 or 13.
 61 31    7.  PRIORITY UNDER AGRICULTURAL LIEN STATUTE.  A perfected
 61 32 agricultural lien on collateral has priority over a
 61 33 conflicting security interest in or agricultural lien on the
 61 34 same collateral if the statute creating the agricultural lien
 61 35 so provides.
 62  1    Sec. 43.  NEW SECTION.  554.9323  FUTURE ADVANCES.
 62  2    1.  WHEN PRIORITY BASED ON TIME OF ADVANCE.  Except as
 62  3 otherwise provided in subsection 3, for purposes of
 62  4 determining the priority of a perfected security interest
 62  5 under section 554.9322, subsection 1, paragraph "a",
 62  6 perfection of the security interest dates from the time an
 62  7 advance is made to the extent that the security interest
 62  8 secures an advance that:
 62  9    a.  is made while the security interest is perfected only:
 62 10    (1)  under section 554.9309 when it attaches; or
 62 11    (2)  temporarily under section 554.9312, subsection 5, 6,
 62 12 or 7; and
 62 13    b.  is not made pursuant to a commitment entered into
 62 14 before or while the security interest is perfected by a method
 62 15 other than under section 554.9309 or 554.9312, subsection 5,
 62 16 6, or 7.
 62 17    2.  LIEN CREDITOR.  Except as otherwise provided in
 62 18 subsection 3, a security interest is subordinate to the rights
 62 19 of a person that becomes a lien creditor to the extent that
 62 20 the security interest secures an advance made more than forty-
 62 21 five days after the person becomes a lien creditor unless the
 62 22 advance is made:
 62 23    a.  without knowledge of the lien; or
 62 24    b.  pursuant to a commitment entered into without knowledge
 62 25 of the lien.
 62 26    3.  BUYER OF RECEIVABLES.  Subsections 1 and 2 do not apply
 62 27 to a security interest held by a secured party that is a buyer
 62 28 of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory
 62 29 notes or a consignor.
 62 30    4.  BUYER OF GOODS.  Except as otherwise provided in
 62 31 subsection 5, a buyer of goods other than a buyer in ordinary
 62 32 course of business takes free of a security interest to the
 62 33 extent that it secures advances made after the earlier of:
 62 34    a.  the time the secured party acquires knowledge of the
 62 35 buyer's purchase; or
 63  1    b.  forty-five days after the purchase.
 63  2    5.  ADVANCES MADE PURSUANT TO COMMITMENT – PRIORITY OF
 63  3 BUYER OF GOODS.  Subsection 4 does not apply if the advance is
 63  4 made pursuant to a commitment entered into without knowledge
 63  5 of the buyer's purchase and before the expiration of the
 63  6 forty-five-day period.
 63  7    6.  LESSEE OF GOODS.  Except as otherwise provided in
 63  8 subsection 7, a lessee of goods, other than a lessee in
 63  9 ordinary course of business, takes the leasehold interest free
 63 10 of a security interest to the extent that it secures advances
 63 11 made after the earlier of:
 63 12    a.  the time the secured party acquires knowledge of the
 63 13 lease; or
 63 14    b.  forty-five days after the lease contract becomes
 63 15 enforceable.
 63 16    7.  ADVANCES MADE PURSUANT TO COMMITMENT – PRIORITY OF
 63 17 LESSEE OF GOODS.  Subsection 6 does not apply if the advance
 63 18 is made pursuant to a commitment entered into without
 63 19 knowledge of the lease and before the expiration of the forty-
 63 20 five-day period.
 63 21    Sec. 44.  NEW SECTION.  554.9324  PRIORITY OF PURCHASE-
 63 22 MONEY SECURITY INTERESTS.
 63 23    1.  GENERAL RULE – PURCHASE-MONEY PRIORITY.  Except as
 63 24 otherwise provided in subsection 7, a perfected purchase-money
 63 25 security interest in goods other than inventory or livestock
 63 26 has priority over a conflicting security interest in the same
 63 27 goods, and, except as otherwise provided in section 554.9327,
 63 28 a perfected security interest in its identifiable proceeds
 63 29 also has priority, if the purchase-money security interest is
 63 30 perfected when the debtor receives possession of the
 63 31 collateral or within twenty days thereafter.
 63 32    2.  INVENTORY PURCHASE-MONEY PRIORITY.  Subject to
 63 33 subsection 3 and except as otherwise provided in subsection 7,
 63 34 a perfected purchase-money security interest in inventory has
 63 35 priority over a conflicting security interest in the same
 64  1 inventory, has priority over a conflicting security interest
 64  2 in chattel paper or an instrument constituting proceeds of the
 64  3 inventory and in proceeds of the chattel paper, if so provided
 64  4 in section 554.9330, and, except as otherwise provided in
 64  5 section 554.9327, also has priority in identifiable cash
 64  6 proceeds of the inventory to the extent the identifiable cash
 64  7 proceeds are received on or before the delivery of the
 64  8 inventory to a buyer, if:
 64  9    a.  the purchase-money security interest is perfected when
 64 10 the debtor receives possession of the inventory;
 64 11    b.  the purchase-money secured party sends an authenticated
 64 12 notification to the holder of the conflicting security
 64 13 interest;
 64 14    c.  the holder of the conflicting security interest
 64 15 receives the notification within five years before the debtor
 64 16 receives possession of the inventory; and
 64 17    d.  the notification states that the person sending the
 64 18 notification has or expects to acquire a purchase-money
 64 19 security interest in inventory of the debtor and describes the
 64 20 inventory.
 64 21    3.  HOLDERS OF CONFLICTING INVENTORY SECURITY INTERESTS TO
 64 22 BE NOTIFIED.  Subsection 2, paragraphs "b" through "d", apply
 64 23 only if the holder of the conflicting security interest had
 64 24 filed a financing statement covering the same types of
 64 25 inventory:
 64 26    a.  if the purchase-money security interest is perfected by
 64 27 filing, before the date of the filing; or
 64 28    b.  if the purchase-money security interest is temporarily
 64 29 perfected without filing or possession under section 554.9312,
 64 30 subsection 6, before the beginning of the twenty-day period
 64 31 thereunder.
 64 32    4.  LIVESTOCK PURCHASE-MONEY PRIORITY.  Subject to
 64 33 subsection 5 and except as otherwise provided in subsection 7,
 64 34 a perfected purchase-money security interest in livestock that
 64 35 are farm products has priority over a conflicting security
 65  1 interest in the same livestock, and, except as otherwise
 65  2 provided in section 554.9327, a perfected security interest in
 65  3 their identifiable proceeds and identifiable products in their
 65  4 unmanufactured states also has priority, if:
 65  5    a.  the purchase-money security interest is perfected when
 65  6 the debtor receives possession of the livestock;
 65  7    b.  the purchase-money secured party sends an authenticated

 65  9 interest;
 65 10    c.  the holder of the conflicting security interest

 65 12 receives possession of the livestock; and
 65 13    d.  the notification states that the person sending the
 65 14 notification has or expects to acquire a purchase-money
 65 15 security interest in livestock of the debtor and describes the
 65 16 livestock.
 65 17    5.  HOLDERS OF CONFLICTING LIVESTOCK SECURITY INTERESTS TO
 65 18 BE NOTIFIED.  Subsection 4, paragraphs "b" through "d", apply
 65 19 only if the holder of the conflicting security interest had
 65 20 filed a financing statement covering the same types of
 65 21 livestock:
 65 22    a.  if the purchase-money security interest is perfected by
 65 23 filing, before the date of the filing; or
 65 24    b.  if the purchase-money security interest is temporarily
 65 25 perfected without filing or possession under section 554.9312,
 65 26 subsection 6, before the beginning of the twenty-day period
 65 27 thereunder.
 65 28    6.  SOFTWARE PURCHASE-MONEY PRIORITY.  Except as otherwise
 65 29 provided in subsection 7, a perfected purchase-money security
 65 30 interest in software has priority over a conflicting security
 65 31 interest in the same collateral, and, except as otherwise
 65 32 provided in section 554.9327, a perfected security interest in
 65 33 its identifiable proceeds also has priority, to the extent
 65 34 that the purchase-money security interest in the goods in
 65 35 which the software was acquired for use has priority in the
 66  1 goods and proceeds of the goods under this section.
 66  2    7.  CONFLICTING PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTERESTS.  If more
 66  3 than one security interest qualifies for priority in the same
 66  4 collateral under subsection 1, 2, 4, or 6:
 66  5    a.  a security interest securing an obligation incurred as
 66  6 all or part of the price of the collateral has priority over a
 66  7 security interest securing an obligation incurred for value
 66  8 given to enable the debtor to acquire rights in or the use of
 66  9 collateral; and
 66 10    b.  in all other cases, section 554.9322, subsection 1,
 66 11 applies to the qualifying security interests.
 66 12    Sec. 45.  NEW SECTION.  554.9325  PRIORITY OF SECURITY
 66 13 INTERESTS IN TRANSFERRED COLLATERAL.
 66 14    1.  SUBORDINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST IN TRANSFERRED
 66 15 COLLATERAL.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a
 66 16 security interest created by a debtor is subordinate to a
 66 17 security interest in the same collateral created by another
 66 18 person if:
 66 19    a.  the debtor acquired the collateral subject to the
 66 20 security interest created by the other person;
 66 21    b.  the security interest created by the other person was
 66 22 perfected when the debtor acquired the collateral; and
 66 23    c.  there is no period thereafter when the security
 66 24 interest is unperfected.
 66 25    2.  LIMITATION OF SUBSECTION 1 SUBORDINATION.  Subsection 1
 66 26 subordinates a security interest only if the security
 66 27 interest:
 66 28    a.  otherwise would have priority solely under section
 66 29 554.9322, subsection 1, or section 554.9324; or
 66 30    b.  arose solely under section 554.2711, subsection 3, or
 66 31 section 554.13508, subsection 5.
 66 32    Sec. 46.  NEW SECTION.  554.9326  PRIORITY OF SECURITY
 66 33 INTERESTS CREATED BY NEW DEBTOR.
 66 34    1.  SUBORDINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST CREATED BY NEW
 66 35 DEBTOR.  Subject to subsection 2, a security interest created
 67  1 by a new debtor which is perfected by a filed financing
 67  2 statement that is effective solely under section 554.9508 in
 67  3 collateral in which a new debtor has or acquires rights is
 67  4 subordinate to a security interest in the same collateral
 67  5 which is perfected other than by a filed financing statement
 67  6 that is effective solely under section 554.9508.
 67  7    2.  PRIORITY UNDER OTHER PROVISIONS – MULTIPLE ORIGINAL
 67  8 DEBTORS.  The other provisions of this part determine the
 67  9 priority among conflicting security interests in the same
 67 10 collateral perfected by filed financing statements that are
 67 11 effective solely under section 554.9508.  However, if the
 67 12 security agreements to which a new debtor became bound as
 67 13 debtor were not entered into by the same original debtor, the
 67 14 conflicting security interests rank according to priority in
 67 15 time of the new debtor's having become bound.
 67 16    Sec. 47.  NEW SECTION.  554.9327  PRIORITY OF SECURITY
 67 17 INTERESTS IN DEPOSIT ACCOUNT.
 67 18    The following rules govern priority among conflicting
 67 19 security interests in the same deposit account:
 67 20    1.  A security interest held by a secured party having
 67 21 control of the deposit account under section 554.9104 has
 67 22 priority over a conflicting security interest held by a
 67 23 secured party that does not have control.
 67 24    2.  Except as otherwise provided in subsections 3 and 4,
 67 25 security interests perfected by control under section 554.9314
 67 26 rank according to priority in time of obtaining control.
 67 27    3.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, a
 67 28 security interest held by the bank with which the deposit
 67 29 account is maintained has priority over a conflicting security
 67 30 interest held by another secured party.
 67 31    4.  A security interest perfected by control under section
 67 32 554.9104, subsection 1, paragraph "c", has priority over a
 67 33 security interest held by the bank with which the deposit
 67 34 account is maintained.
 67 35    Sec. 48.  NEW SECTION.  554.9328  PRIORITY OF SECURITY
 68  1 INTERESTS IN INVESTMENT PROPERTY.
 68  2    The following rules govern priority among conflicting
 68  3 security interests in the same investment property:
 68  4    1.  A security interest held by a secured party having
 68  5 control of investment property under section 554.9106 has
 68  6 priority over a security interest held by a secured party that
 68  7 does not have control of the investment property.
 68  8    2.  Except as otherwise provided in subsections 3 and 4,
 68  9 conflicting security interests held by secured parties each of
 68 10 which has control under section 554.9106 rank according to
 68 11 priority in time of:
 68 12    a.  if the collateral is a security, obtaining control;
 68 13    b.  if the collateral is a security entitlement carried in
 68 14 a securities account and:
 68 15    (1)  if the secured party obtained control under section
 68 16 554.8106, subsection 4, paragraph "a", the secured party's
 68 17 becoming the person for which the securities account is
 68 18 maintained;
 68 19    (2)  if the secured party obtained control under section
 68 20 554.8106, subsection 4, paragraph "b", the securities
 68 21 intermediary's agreement to comply with the secured party's
 68 22 entitlement orders with respect to security entitlements
 68 23 carried or to be carried in the securities account; or
 68 24    (3)  if the secured party obtained control through another
 68 25 person under section 554.8106, subsection 4, paragraph "b",
 68 26 the time on which priority would be based under this
 68 27 subsection if the other person were the secured party; or
 68 28    c.  if the collateral is a commodity contract carried with
 68 29 a commodity intermediary, the satisfaction of the requirement
 68 30 for control specified in section 554.9106, subsection 2,
 68 31 paragraph "b", with respect to commodity contracts carried or
 68 32 to be carried with the commodity intermediary.
 68 33    3.  A security interest held by a securities intermediary
 68 34 in a security entitlement or a securities account maintained
 68 35 with the securities intermediary has priority over a
 69  1 conflicting security interest held by another secured party.
 69  2    4.  A security interest held by a commodity intermediary in
 69  3 a commodity contract or a commodity account maintained with
 69  4 the commodity intermediary has priority over a conflicting
 69  5 security interest held by another secured party.
 69  6    5.  A security interest in a certificated security in
 69  7 registered form which is perfected by taking delivery under
 69  8 section 554.9313, subsection 1, and not by control under
 69  9 section 554.9314 has priority over a conflicting security
 69 10 interest perfected by a method other than control.
 69 11    6.  Conflicting security interests created by a broker,
 69 12 securities intermediary, or commodity intermediary which are
 69 13 perfected without control under section 554.9106 rank equally.
 69 14    7.  In all other cases, priority among conflicting security
 69 15 interests in investment property is governed by sections
 69 16 554.9322 and 554.9323.
 69 17    Sec. 49.  NEW SECTION.  554.9329  PRIORITY OF SECURITY
 69 18 INTERESTS IN LETTER-OF-CREDIT RIGHT.
 69 19    The following rules govern priority among conflicting
 69 20 security interests in the same letter-of-credit right:
 69 21    1.  A security interest held by a secured party having
 69 22 control of the letter-of-credit right under section 554.9107
 69 23 has priority to the extent of its control over a conflicting

 69 25 control.
 69 26    2.  Security interests perfected by control under section
 69 27 554.9314 rank according to priority in time of obtaining
 69 28 control.
 69 29    Sec. 50.  NEW SECTION.  554.9330  PRIORITY OF PURCHASER OF
 69 30 CHATTEL PAPER OR INSTRUMENT.
 69 31    1.  PURCHASER'S PRIORITY – SECURITY INTEREST CLAIMED
 69 32 MERELY AS PROCEEDS.  A purchaser of chattel paper has priority
 69 33 over a security interest in the chattel paper which is claimed
 69 34 merely as proceeds of inventory subject to a security interest
 69 35 if:
 70  1    a.  in good faith and in the ordinary course of the
 70  2 purchaser's business, the purchaser gives new value and takes
 70  3 possession of the chattel paper or obtains control of the
 70  4 chattel paper under section 554.9105; and
 70  5    b.  the chattel paper does not indicate that it has been
 70  6 assigned to an identified assignee other than the purchaser.
 70  7    2.  PURCHASER'S PRIORITY – OTHER SECURITY INTERESTS.  A
 70  8 purchaser of chattel paper has priority over a security
 70  9 interest in the chattel paper which is claimed other than
 70 10 merely as proceeds of inventory subject to a security interest
 70 11 if the purchaser gives new value and takes possession of the
 70 12 chattel paper or obtains control of the chattel paper under
 70 13 section 554.9105 in good faith, in the ordinary course of the
 70 14 purchaser's business, and without knowledge that the purchase
 70 15 violates the rights of the secured party.
 70 16    3.  CHATTEL PAPER PURCHASER'S PRIORITY IN PROCEEDS.  Except
 70 17 as otherwise provided in section 554.9327, a purchaser having
 70 18 priority in chattel paper under subsection 1 or 2 also has
 70 19 priority in proceeds of the chattel paper to the extent that:
 70 20    a.  section 554.9322 provides for priority in the proceeds;
 70 21 or
 70 22    b.  the proceeds consist of the specific goods covered by
 70 23 the chattel paper or cash proceeds of the specific goods, even
 70 24 if the purchaser's security interest in the proceeds is
 70 25 unperfected.
 70 26    4.  INSTRUMENT PURCHASER'S PRIORITY.  Except as otherwise
 70 27 provided in section 554.9331, subsection 1, a purchaser of an
 70 28 instrument has priority over a security interest in the
 70 29 instrument perfected by a method other than possession if the
 70 30 purchaser gives value and takes possession of the instrument
 70 31 in good faith and without knowledge that the purchase violates
 70 32 the rights of the secured party.
 70 33    5.  HOLDER OF PURCHASE-MONEY SECURITY INTEREST GIVES NEW
 70 34 VALUE.  For purposes of subsections 1 and 2, the holder of a
 70 35 purchase-money security interest in inventory gives new value
 71  1 for chattel paper constituting proceeds of the inventory.
 71  2    6.  INDICATION OF ASSIGNMENT GIVES KNOWLEDGE.  For purposes
 71  3 of subsections 2 and 4, if chattel paper or an instrument
 71  4 indicates that it has been assigned to an identified secured
 71  5 party other than the purchaser, a purchaser of the chattel
 71  6 paper or instrument has knowledge that the purchase violates
 71  7 the rights of the secured party.
 71  8    Sec. 51.  NEW SECTION.  554.9331  PRIORITY OF RIGHTS OF
 71  9 PURCHASERS OF INSTRUMENTS, DOCUMENTS, AND SECURITIES UNDER
 71 10 OTHER ARTICLES – PRIORITY OF INTERESTS IN FINANCIAL ASSETS
 71 11 AND SECURITY ENTITLEMENTS UNDER ARTICLE 8.
 71 12    1.  RIGHTS UNDER ARTICLES 3, 7, AND 8 NOT LIMITED.  This
 71 13 Article does not limit the rights of a holder in due course of
 71 14 a negotiable instrument, a holder to which a negotiable
 71 15 document of title has been duly negotiated, or a protected
 71 16 purchaser of a security.  These holders or purchasers take
 71 17 priority over an earlier security interest, even if perfected,
 71 18 to the extent provided in Articles 3, 7, and 8.
 71 19    2.  PROTECTION UNDER ARTICLE 8.  This Article does not
 71 20 limit the rights of or impose liability on a person to the
 71 21 extent that the person is protected against the assertion of a
 71 22 claim under Article 8.
 71 23    3.  FILING NOT NOTICE.  Filing under this Article does not
 71 24 constitute notice of a claim or defense to the holders, or
 71 25 purchasers, or persons described in subsections 1 and 2.
 71 26    Sec. 52.  NEW SECTION.  554.9332  TRANSFER OF MONEY –
 71 27 TRANSFER OF FUNDS FROM DEPOSIT ACCOUNT.
 71 28    1.  TRANSFEREE OF MONEY.  A transferee of money takes the
 71 29 money free of a security interest unless the transferee acts
 71 30 in collusion with the debtor in violating the rights of the
 71 31 secured party.
 71 32    2.  TRANSFEREE OF FUNDS FROM DEPOSIT ACCOUNT.  A transferee
 71 33 of funds from a deposit account takes the funds free of a
 71 34 security interest in the deposit account unless the transferee
 71 35 acts in collusion with the debtor in violating the rights of
 72  1 the secured party.
 72  2    Sec. 53.  NEW SECTION.  554.9333  PRIORITY OF CERTAIN LIENS
 72  3 ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW.
 72  4    1.  POSSESSORY LIEN.  In this section, "possessory lien"
 72  5 means an interest, other than a security interest or an
 72  6 agricultural lien:
 72  7    a.  which secures payment or performance of an obligation
 72  8 for services or materials furnished with respect to goods by a
 72  9 person in the ordinary course of the person's business;
 72 10    b.  which is created by statute or rule of law in favor of
 72 11 the person; and
 72 12    c.  whose effectiveness depends on the person's possession
 72 13 of the goods.
 72 14    2.  PRIORITY OF POSSESSORY LIEN.  A possessory lien on
 72 15 goods has priority over a security interest in the goods
 72 16 unless the lien is created by a statute that expressly
 72 17 provides otherwise.
 72 18    Sec. 54.  NEW SECTION.  554.9334  PRIORITY OF SECURITY
 72 19 INTERESTS IN FIXTURES AND CROPS.
 72 20    1.  SECURITY INTEREST IN FIXTURES UNDER THIS ARTICLE.  A
 72 21 security interest under this Article may be created in goods
 72 22 that are fixtures or may continue in goods that become
 72 23 fixtures.  A security interest does not exist under this
 72 24 Article in ordinary building materials incorporated into an
 72 25 improvement on land.
 72 26    2.  SECURITY INTEREST IN FIXTURES UNDER REAL-PROPERTY LAW.
 72 27 This Article does not prevent creation of an encumbrance upon
 72 28 fixtures under real property law.
 72 29    3.  GENERAL RULE – SUBORDINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST IN
 72 30 FIXTURES.  In cases not governed by subsections 4 through 8, a
 72 31 security interest in fixtures is subordinate to a conflicting
 72 32 interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the related real
 72 33 property other than the debtor.
 72 34    4.  FIXTURES PURCHASE-MONEY PRIORITY.  Except as otherwise
 72 35 provided in subsection 8, a perfected security interest in
 73  1 fixtures has priority over a conflicting interest of an
 73  2 encumbrancer or owner of the real property if the debtor has
 73  3 an interest of record in or is in possession of the real
 73  4 property and:
 73  5    a.  the security interest is a purchase-money security
 73  6 interest;
 73  7    b.  the interest of the encumbrancer or owner arises before
 73  8 the goods become fixtures; and
 73  9    c.  the security interest is perfected by a fixture filing
 73 10 before the goods become fixtures or within twenty days
 73 11 thereafter.
 73 12    5.  PRIORITY OF SECURITY INTEREST IN FIXTURES OVER
 73 13 INTERESTS IN REAL PROPERTY.  A perfected security interest in
 73 14 fixtures has priority over a conflicting interest of an
 73 15 encumbrancer or owner of the real property if:
 73 16    a.  the debtor has an interest of record in the real
 73 17 property or is in possession of the real property and the
 73 18 security interest:
 73 19    (1)  is perfected by a fixture filing before the interest
 73 20 of the encumbrancer or owner is of record; and
 73 21    (2)  has priority over any conflicting interest of a
 73 22 predecessor in title of the encumbrancer or owner;
 73 23    b.  before the goods become fixtures, the security interest
 73 24 is perfected by any method permitted by this Article and the
 73 25 fixtures are readily removable:
 73 26    (1)  factory or office machines;
 73 27    (2)  equipment that is not primarily used or leased for use
 73 28 in the operation of the real property; or
 73 29    (3)  replacements of domestic appliances that are consumer
 73 30 goods;
 73 31    c.  the conflicting interest is a lien on the real property
 73 32 obtained by legal or equitable proceedings after the security
 73 33 interest was perfected by any method permitted by this
 73 34 Article; or
 73 35    d.  the security interest is:
 74  1    (1)  created in a manufactured home in a manufactured-home
 74  2 transaction; and
 74  3    (2)  perfected pursuant to a statute described in section
 74  4 554.9311, subsection 1, paragraph "b".
 74  5    6.  PRIORITY BASED ON CONSENT, DISCLAIMER, OR RIGHT TO
 74  6 REMOVE.  A security interest in fixtures, whether or not
 74  7 perfected, has priority over a conflicting interest of an
 74  8 encumbrancer or owner of the real property if:
 74  9    a.  the encumbrancer or owner has, in an authenticated
 74 10 record, consented to the security interest or disclaimed an
 74 11 interest in the goods as fixtures; or
 74 12    b.  the debtor has a right to remove the goods as against
 74 13 the encumbrancer or owner.
 74 14    7.  CONTINUATION OF SUBSECTION 6, PARAGRAPH "b", PRIORITY.
 74 15 The priority of the security interest under subsection 6,
 74 16 paragraph "b", continues for a reasonable time if the debtor's
 74 17 right to remove the goods as against the encumbrancer or owner
 74 18 terminates.
 74 19    8.  PRIORITY OF CONSTRUCTION MORTGAGE.  A mortgage is a
 74 20 construction mortgage to the extent that it secures an
 74 21 obligation incurred for the construction of an improvement on
 74 22 land, including the acquisition cost of the land, if a
 74 23 recorded record of the mortgage so indicates.  Except as
 74 24 otherwise provided in subsections 5 and 6, a security interest
 74 25 in fixtures is subordinate to a construction mortgage if a
 74 26 record of the mortgage is recorded before the goods become
 74 27 fixtures and the goods become fixtures before the completion
 74 28 of the construction.  A mortgage has this priority to the same
 74 29 extent as a construction mortgage to the extent that it is
 74 30 given to refinance a construction mortgage.
 74 31    9.  PRIORITY OF SECURITY INTEREST IN CROPS.  Except as
 74 32 provided in subsection 10, a perfected security interest in
 74 33 crops growing on real property has priority over a conflicting
 74 34 interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if
 74 35 the debtor has an interest of record in or is in possession of
 75  1 the real property.
 75  2    10.  AGRICULTURAL LIENS PREVAIL.  The provisions of this
 75  3 Article regarding agricultural liens prevail over any
 75  4 inconsistent provisions of subsection 9.
 75  5    Sec. 55.  NEW SECTION.  554.9335  ACCESSIONS.
 75  6    1.  CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST IN ACCESSION.  A security
 75  7 interest may be created in an accession and continues in
 75  8 collateral that becomes an accession.
 75  9    2.  PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST.  If a security
 75 10 interest is perfected when the collateral becomes an
 75 11 accession, the security interest remains perfected in the
 75 12 collateral.
 75 13    3.  PRIORITY OF SECURITY INTEREST.  Except as otherwise
 75 14 provided in subsection 4, the other provisions of this part
 75 15 determine the priority of a security interest in an accession.
 75 16    4.  COMPLIANCE WITH CERTIFICATE-OF-TITLE STATUTE.  A
 75 17 security interest in an accession is subordinate to a security
 75 18 interest in the whole which is perfected by compliance with
 75 19 the requirements of a certificate-of-title statute under
 75 20 section 554.9311, subsection 2.
 75 21    5.  REMOVAL OF ACCESSION AFTER DEFAULT.  After default,
 75 22 subject to part 6, a secured party may remove an accession
 75 23 from other goods if the security interest in the accession has
 75 24 priority over the claims of every person having an interest in
 75 25 the whole.
 75 26    6.  REIMBURSEMENT FOLLOWING REMOVAL.  A secured party that
 75 27 removes an accession from other goods under subsection 5 shall
 75 28 promptly reimburse any holder of a security interest or other
 75 29 lien on, or owner of, the whole or of the other goods, other
 75 30 than the debtor, for the cost of repair of any physical injury
 75 31 to the whole or the other goods.  The secured party need not
 75 32 reimburse the holder or owner for any diminution in value of
 75 33 the whole or the other goods caused by the absence of the
 75 34 accession removed or by any necessity for replacing it.  A
 75 35 person entitled to reimbursement may refuse permission to
 76  1 remove until the secured party gives adequate assurance for
 76  2 the performance of the obligation to reimburse.
 76  3    Sec. 56.  NEW SECTION.  554.9336  COMMINGLED GOODS.
 76  4    1.  COMMINGLED GOODS.  In this section, "commingled goods"
 76  5 means goods that are physically united with other goods in
 76  6 such a manner that their identity is lost in a product or
 76  7 mass.
 76  8    2.  NO SECURITY INTEREST IN COMMINGLED GOODS AS SUCH.  A
 76  9 security interest does not exist in commingled goods as such.
 76 10 However, a security interest may attach to a product or mass
 76 11 that results when goods become commingled goods.
 76 12    3.  ATTACHMENT OF SECURITY INTEREST TO PRODUCT OR MASS.  If
 76 13 collateral becomes commingled goods, a security interest
 76 14 attaches to the product or mass.
 76 15    4.  PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST.  If a security
 76 16 interest in collateral is perfected before the collateral
 76 17 becomes commingled goods, the security interest that attaches
 76 18 to the product or mass under subsection 3 is perfected.
 76 19    5.  PRIORITY OF SECURITY INTEREST.  Except as otherwise
 76 20 provided in subsection 6, the other provisions of this part
 76 21 determine the priority of a security interest that attaches to
 76 22 the product or mass under subsection 3.
 76 23    6.  CONFLICTING SECURITY INTERESTS IN PRODUCT OR MASS.  If
 76 24 more than one security interest attaches to the product or
 76 25 mass under subsection 3, the following rules determine
 76 26 priority:
 76 27    a.  A security interest that is perfected under subsection
 76 28 4 has priority over a security interest that is unperfected at
 76 29 the time the collateral becomes commingled goods.
 76 30    b.  If more than one security interest is perfected under
 76 31 subsection 4, the security interests rank equally in
 76 32 proportion to the value of the collateral at the time it
 76 33 became commingled goods.
 76 34    Sec. 57.  NEW SECTION.  554.9337  PRIORITY OF SECURITY
 76 35 INTERESTS IN GOODS COVERED BY CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.
 77  1    If, while a security interest in goods is perfected by any
 77  2 method under the law of another jurisdiction, this state
 77  3 issues a certificate of title that does not show that the
 77  4 goods are subject to the security interest or contain a
 77  5 statement that they may be subject to security interests not
 77  6 shown on the certificate:
 77  7    1.  a buyer of the goods, other than a person in the
 77  8 business of selling goods of that kind, takes free of the
 77  9 security interest if the buyer gives value and receives
 77 10 delivery of the goods after issuance of the certificate and
 77 11 without knowledge of the security interest; and
 77 12    2.  the security interest is subordinate to a conflicting
 77 13 security interest in the goods that attaches, and is perfected
 77 14 under section 554.9311, subsection 2, after issuance of the
 77 15 certificate and without the conflicting secured party's
 77 16 knowledge of the security interest.
 77 17    Sec. 58.  NEW SECTION.  554.9338  PRIORITY OF SECURITY
 77 18 INTEREST OR AGRICULTURAL LIEN PERFECTED BY FILED FINANCING
 77 19 STATEMENT PROVIDING CERTAIN INCORRECT INFORMATION.
 77 20    If a security interest or agricultural lien is perfected by
 77 21 a filed financing statement providing information described in
 77 22 section 554.9516, subsection 2, paragraph "e", which is
 77 23 incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed:
 77 24    1.  the security interest or agricultural lien is
 77 25 subordinate to a conflicting perfected security interest in
 77 26 the collateral to the extent that the holder of the
 77 27 conflicting security interest gives value in reasonable
 77 28 reliance upon the incorrect information; and
 77 29    2.  a purchaser, other than a secured party, of the
 77 30 collateral takes free of the security interest or agricultural
 77 31 lien to the extent that, in reasonable reliance upon the
 77 32 incorrect information, the purchaser gives value and, in the
 77 33 case of chattel paper, documents, goods, instruments, or a
 77 34 security certificate, receives delivery of the collateral.
 77 35    Sec. 59.  NEW SECTION.  554.9339  PRIORITY SUBJECT TO
 78  1 SUBORDINATION.
 78  2    This Article does not preclude subordination by agreement
 78  3 by a person entitled to priority.  
 78  4                       D.  RIGHTS OF BANK
 78  5    Sec. 60.  NEW SECTION.  554.9340  EFFECTIVENESS OF RIGHT OF
 78  6 RECOUPMENT OR SETOFF AGAINST DEPOSIT ACCOUNT.
 78  7    1.  EXERCISE OF RECOUPMENT OR SETOFF.  Except as otherwise
 78  8 provided in subsection 3, a bank with which a deposit account
 78  9 is maintained may exercise any right of recoupment or setoff
 78 10 against a secured party that holds a security interest in the
 78 11 deposit account.
 78 12    2.  RECOUPMENT OR SETOFF NOT AFFECTED BY SECURITY INTEREST.
 78 13 Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, the application
 78 14 of this Article to a security interest in a deposit account
 78 15 does not affect a right of recoupment or setoff of the secured
 78 16 party as to a deposit account maintained with the secured
 78 17 party.
 78 18    3.  WHEN SETOFF INEFFECTIVE.  The exercise by a bank of a
 78 19 setoff against a deposit account is ineffective against a
 78 20 secured party that holds a security interest in the deposit
 78 21 account which is perfected by control under section 554.9104,
 78 22 subsection 1, paragraph "c", if the setoff is based on a claim
 78 23 against the debtor.
 78 24    Sec. 61.  NEW SECTION.  554.9341  BANK'S RIGHTS AND DUTIES
 78 25 WITH RESPECT TO DEPOSIT ACCOUNT.
 78 26    Except as otherwise provided in section 554.9340,
 78 27 subsection 3, and unless the bank otherwise agrees in an
 78 28 authenticated record, a bank's rights and duties with respect
 78 29 to a deposit account maintained with the bank are not
 78 30 terminated, suspended, or modified by:
 78 31    1.  the creation, attachment, or perfection of a security
 78 32 interest in the deposit account;
 78 33    2.  the bank's knowledge of the security interest; or
 78 34    3.  the bank's receipt of instructions from the secured
 78 35 party.
 79  1    Sec. 62.  NEW SECTION.  554.9342  BANK'S RIGHT TO REFUSE TO
 79  2 ENTER INTO OR DISCLOSE EXISTENCE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT.
 79  3    This Article does not require a bank to enter into an
 79  4 agreement of the kind described in section 554.9104,
 79  5 subsection 1, paragraph "b", even if its customer so requests
 79  6 or directs.  A bank that has entered into such an agreement is
 79  7 not required to confirm the existence of the agreement to
 79  8 another person unless requested to do so by its customer.

 79 11    Sec. 63.  NEW SECTION.  554.9401  ALIENABILITY OF DEBTOR'S
 79 12 RIGHTS.
 79 13    1.  OTHER LAW GOVERNS ALIENABILITY – EXCEPTIONS.  Except
 79 14 as otherwise provided in subsection 2 and sections 554.9406,
 79 15 554.9407, 554.9408, and 554.9409, whether a debtor's rights in
 79 16 collateral may be voluntarily or involuntarily transferred is
 79 17 governed by law other than this Article.
 79 18    2.  AGREEMENT DOES NOT PREVENT TRANSFER.  An agreement
 79 19 between the debtor and secured party which prohibits a
 79 20 transfer of the debtor's rights in collateral or makes the
 79 21 transfer a default does not prevent the transfer from taking
 79 22 effect.
 79 23    Sec. 64.  NEW SECTION.  554.9402  SECURED PARTY NOT
 79 24 OBLIGATED ON CONTRACT OF DEBTOR OR IN TORT.
 79 25    The existence of a security interest, agricultural lien, or
 79 26 authority given to a debtor to dispose of or use collateral,
 79 27 without more, does not subject a secured party to liability in
 79 28 contract or tort for the debtor's acts or omissions.
 79 29    Sec. 65.  NEW SECTION.  554.9403  AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT
 79 30 DEFENSES AGAINST ASSIGNEE.
 79 31    1.  VALUE.  In this section, "value" has the meaning
 79 32 provided in section 554.3303, subsection 1.
 79 33    2.  AGREEMENT NOT TO ASSERT CLAIM OR DEFENSE.  Except as
 79 34 otherwise provided in this section, an agreement between an
 79 35 account debtor and an assignor not to assert against an
 80  1 assignee any claim or defense that the account debtor may have
 80  2 against the assignor is enforceable by an assignee that takes
 80  3 an assignment:
 80  4    a.  for value;
 80  5    b.  in good faith;
 80  6    c.  without notice of a claim of a property or possessory
 80  7 right to the property assigned; and
 80  8    d.  without notice of a defense or claim in recoupment of
 80  9 the type that may be asserted against a person entitled to
 80 10 enforce a negotiable instrument under section 554.3305,
 80 11 subsection 1.
 80 12    3.  WHEN SUBSECTION 2 NOT APPLICABLE.  Subsection 2 does
 80 13 not apply to defenses of a type that may be asserted against a
 80 14 holder in due course of a negotiable instrument under section
 80 15 554.3305, subsection 2.
 80 16    4.  OMISSION OF REQUIRED STATEMENT IN CONSUMER TRANSACTION.
 80 17 In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account
 80 18 debtor's obligation, law other than this Article requires that
 80 19 the record include a statement to the effect that the rights
 80 20 of an assignee are subject to claims or defenses that the
 80 21 account debtor could assert against the original obligee, and
 80 22 the record does not include such a statement:
 80 23    a.  the record has the same effect as if the record
 80 24 included such a statement; and
 80 25    b.  the account debtor may assert against an assignee those
 80 26 claims and defenses that would have been available if the
 80 27 record included such a statement.
 80 28    5.  RULE FOR INDIVIDUAL UNDER OTHER LAW.  This section is
 80 29 subject to law other than this Article which establishes a
 80 30 different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and
 80 31 who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or
 80 32 household purposes.
 80 33    6.  OTHER LAW NOT DISPLACED.  Except as otherwise provided
 80 34 in subsection 4, this section does not displace law other than
 80 35 this Article which gives effect to an agreement by an account
 81  1 debtor not to assert a claim or defense against an assignee.
 81  2    Sec. 66.  NEW SECTION.  554.9404  RIGHTS ACQUIRED BY
 81  3 ASSIGNEE – CLAIMS AND DEFENSES AGAINST ASSIGNEE.
 81  4    1.  ASSIGNEE'S RIGHTS SUBJECT TO TERMS, CLAIMS, AND
 81  5 DEFENSES – EXCEPTIONS.  Unless an account debtor has made an
 81  6 enforceable agreement not to assert defenses or claims, and
 81  7 subject to subsections 2 through 5, the rights of an assignee
 81  8 are subject to:
 81  9    a.  all terms of the agreement between the account debtor
 81 10 and assignor and any defense or claim in recoupment arising
 81 11 from the transaction that gave rise to the contract; and
 81 12    b.  any other defense or claim of the account debtor
 81 13 against the assignor which accrues before the account debtor
 81 14 receives a notification of the assignment authenticated by the
 81 15 assignor or the assignee.
 81 16    2.  ACCOUNT DEBTOR'S CLAIM REDUCES AMOUNT OWED TO ASSIGNEE.
 81 17 Subject to subsection 3 and except as otherwise provided in
 81 18 subsection 4, the claim of an account debtor against an
 81 19 assignor may be asserted against an assignee under subsection
 81 20 1 only to reduce the amount the account debtor owes.
 81 21    3.  RULE FOR INDIVIDUAL UNDER OTHER LAW.  This section is
 81 22 subject to law other than this Article which establishes a
 81 23 different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and
 81 24 who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or
 81 25 household purposes.
 81 26    4.  OMISSION OF REQUIRED STATEMENT IN CONSUMER TRANSACTION.
 81 27 In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account
 81 28 debtor's obligation, law other than this Article requires that
 81 29 the record include a statement to the effect that the account
 81 30 debtor's recovery against an assignee with respect to claims
 81 31 and defenses against the assignor may not exceed amounts paid
 81 32 by the account debtor under the record, and the record does
 81 33 not include such a statement, the extent to which a claim of
 81 34 an account debtor against the assignor may be asserted against
 81 35 an assignee is determined as if the record included such a
 82  1 statement.
 82  2    5.  INAPPLICABILITY TO HEALTH-CARE-INSURANCE RECEIVABLE.
 82  3 This section does not apply to an assignment of a health-care-
 82  4 insurance receivable.
 82  5    Sec. 67.  NEW SECTION.  554.9405  MODIFICATION OF ASSIGNED
 82  6 CONTRACT.
 82  7    1.  EFFECT OF MODIFICATION ON ASSIGNEE.  A modification of
 82  8 or substitution for an assigned contract is effective against
 82  9 an assignee if made in good faith.  The assignee acquires
 82 10 corresponding rights under the modified or substituted
 82 11 contract.  The assignment may provide that the modification or
 82 12 substitution is a breach of contract by the assignor.  This
 82 13 subsection is subject to subsections 2 through 4.
 82 14    2.  APPLICABILITY OF SUBSECTION 1.  Subsection 1 applies to
 82 15 the extent that:
 82 16    a.  the right to payment or a part thereof under an
 82 17 assigned contract has not been fully earned by performance; or
 82 18    b.  the right to payment or a part thereof has been fully
 82 19 earned by performance and the account debtor has not received
 82 20 notification of the assignment under section 554.9406,
 82 21 subsection 1.
 82 22    3.  RULE FOR INDIVIDUAL UNDER OTHER LAW.  This section is
 82 23 subject to law other than this Article which establishes a
 82 24 different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and
 82 25 who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or
 82 26 household purposes.
 82 27    4.  INAPPLICABILITY TO HEALTH-CARE-INSURANCE RECEIVABLE.
 82 28 This section does not apply to an assignment of a health-care-
 82 29 insurance receivable.
 82 30    Sec. 68.  NEW SECTION.  554.9406  DISCHARGE OF ACCOUNT
 82 31 DEBTOR – NOTIFICATION OF ASSIGNMENT – IDENTIFICATION AND
 82 32 PROOF OF ASSIGNMENT – RESTRICTIONS ON ASSIGNMENT OF ACCOUNTS,
 82 33 CHATTEL PAPER, PAYMENT INTANGIBLES, AND PROMISSORY NOTES
 82 34 INEFFECTIVE.
 82 35    1.  DISCHARGE OF ACCOUNT DEBTOR – EFFECT OF NOTIFICATION.
 83  1 Subject to subsections 2 through 9, an account debtor on an
 83  2 account, chattel paper, or a payment intangible may discharge
 83  3 its obligation by paying the assignor until, but not after,
 83  4 the account debtor receives a notification, authenticated by
 83  5 the assignor or the assignee, that the amount due or to become
 83  6 due has been assigned and that payment is to be made to the
 83  7 assignee.  After receipt of the notification, the account
 83  8 debtor may discharge its obligation by paying the assignee and
 83  9 may not discharge the obligation by paying the assignor.
 83 10    2.  WHEN NOTIFICATION INEFFECTIVE.  Subject to subsection
 83 11 8, notification is ineffective under subsection 1:
 83 12    a.  if it does not reasonably identify the rights assigned;
 83 13    b.  to the extent that an agreement between an account
 83 14 debtor and a seller of a payment intangible limits the account
 83 15 debtor's duty to pay a person other than the seller and the
 83 16 limitation is effective under law other than this Article; or
 83 17    c.  at the option of an account debtor, if the notification
 83 18 notifies the account debtor to make less than the full amount
 83 19 of any installment or other periodic payment to the assignee,
 83 20 even if:
 83 21    (1)  only a portion of the account, chattel paper, or
 83 22 payment intangible has been assigned to that assignee;
 83 23    (2)  a portion has been assigned to another assignee; or
 83 24    (3)  the account debtor knows that the assignment to that
 83 25 assignee is limited.
 83 26    3.  PROOF OF ASSIGNMENT.  Subject to subsection 8, if
 83 27 requested by the account debtor, an assignee shall seasonably
 83 28 furnish reasonable proof that the assignment has been made.
 83 29 Unless the assignee complies, the account debtor may discharge
 83 30 its obligation by paying the assignor, even if the account
 83 31 debtor has received a notification under subsection 1.
 83 32    4.  TERM RESTRICTING ASSIGNMENT GENERALLY INEFFECTIVE.
 83 33 Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5 and sections
 83 34 554.9407 and 554.13303, and subject to subsection 8, a term in
 83 35 an agreement between an account debtor and an assignor or in a
 84  1 promissory note is ineffective to the extent that it:
 84  2    a.  prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of the
 84  3 account debtor or person obligated on the promissory note to
 84  4 the assignment or transfer of, or the creation, attachment,
 84  5 perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in, the
 84  6 account, chattel paper, payment intangible, or promissory
 84  7 note; or
 84  8    b.  provides that the assignment or transfer or the
 84  9 creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of the
 84 10 security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of
 84 11 recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination,
 84 12 or remedy under the account, chattel paper, payment
 84 13 intangible, or promissory note.
 84 14    5.  INAPPLICABILITY OF SUBSECTION 4 TO CERTAIN SALES.
 84 15 Subsection 4 does not apply to the sale of a payment
 84 16 intangible or promissory note.
 84 17    6.  LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON ASSIGNMENT GENERALLY INEFFECTIVE.
 84 18 Except as otherwise provided in sections 554.9407 and
 84 19 554.13303 and subject to subsections 8 and 9, a rule of law,
 84 20 statute, or regulation that prohibits, restricts, or requires
 84 21 the consent of a government, governmental body or official, or
 84 22 account debtor to the assignment or transfer of, or creation
 84 23 of a security interest in, an account or chattel paper is
 84 24 ineffective to the extent that the rule of law, statute, or
 84 25 regulation:
 84 26    a.  prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of the
 84 27 government, governmental body or official, or account debtor
 84 28 to the assignment or transfer of, or the creation, attachment,
 84 29 perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in the
 84 30 account or chattel paper; or
 84 31    b.  provides that the assignment or transfer or the
 84 32 creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of the
 84 33 security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of
 84 34 recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination,
 84 35 or remedy under the account or chattel paper.
 85  1    7.  SUBSECTION 2, PARAGRAPH "C", NOT WAIVABLE.  Subject to
 85  2 subsection 8, an account debtor may not waive or vary its
 85  3 option under subsection 2, paragraph "c".
 85  4    8.  RULE FOR INDIVIDUAL UNDER OTHER LAW.  This section is
 85  5 subject to law other than this Article which establishes a
 85  6 different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and
 85  7 who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or
 85  8 household purposes.
 85  9    9.  INAPPLICABILITY TO HEALTH-CARE-INSURANCE RECEIVABLE.
 85 10 This section does not apply to an assignment of a health-care-
 85 11 insurance receivable.
 85 12    10.  SECTION PREVAILS OVER SPECIFIED INCONSISTENT LAW.
 85 13 This section prevails over any inconsistent provision of an
 85 14 existing or future statute, rule, or regulation of this state
 85 15 unless the provision is contained in a statute of this state,
 85 16 refers expressly to this section, and states that the
 85 17 provision prevails over this section.
 85 18    Sec. 69.  NEW SECTION.  554.9407  RESTRICTIONS ON CREATION
 85 19 OR ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN LEASEHOLD INTEREST OR
 85 20 IN LESSOR'S RESIDUAL INTEREST.
 85 21    1.  TERM RESTRICTING ASSIGNMENT GENERALLY INEFFECTIVE.
 85 22 Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a term in a
 85 23 lease agreement is ineffective to the extent that it:
 85 24    a.  prohibits, restricts, or requires the consent of a
 85 25 party to the lease to the assignment or transfer of, or the
 85 26 creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security
 85 27 interest in, an interest of a party under the lease contract
 85 28 or in the lessor's residual interest in the goods; or
 85 29    b.  provides that the assignment or transfer or the
 85 30 creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of the
 85 31 security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of
 85 32 recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination,
 85 33 or remedy under the lease.
 85 34    2.  EFFECTIVENESS OF CERTAIN TERMS.  Except as otherwise
 85 35 provided in section 554.13303, subsection 7, a term described
 86  1 in subsection 1, paragraph "b", is effective to the extent
 86  2 that there is:
 86  3    a.  a transfer by the lessee of the lessee's right of
 86  4 possession or use of the goods in violation of the term; or
 86  5    b.  a delegation of a material performance of either party
 86  6 to the lease contract in violation of the term.
 86  7    3.  SECURITY INTEREST NOT MATERIAL IMPAIRMENT.  The
 86  8 creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security
 86  9 interest in the lessor's interest under the lease contract or
 86 10 the lessor's residual interest in the goods is not a transfer
 86 11 that materially impairs the lessee's prospect of obtaining
 86 12 return performance or materially changes the duty of or
 86 13 materially increases the burden or risk imposed on the lessee
 86 14 within the purview of section 554.13303, subsection 3, unless,
 86 15 and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually results
 86 16 in a delegation of material performance of the lessor.
 86 17    Sec. 70.  NEW SECTION.  554.9408  RESTRICTIONS ON
 86 18 ASSIGNMENT OF PROMISSORY NOTES, HEALTH-CARE-INSURANCE
 86 19 RECEIVABLES, AND CERTAIN GENERAL INTANGIBLES INEFFECTIVE.
 86 20    1.  TERM RESTRICTING ASSIGNMENT GENERALLY INEFFECTIVE.
 86 21 Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a term in a
 86 22 promissory note or in an agreement between an account debtor
 86 23 and a debtor which relates to a health-care-insurance
 86 24 receivable or a general intangible, including a contract,
 86 25 permit, license, or franchise, and which term prohibits,
 86 26 restricts, or requires the consent of the person obligated on
 86 27 the promissory note or the account debtor to, the assignment
 86 28 or transfer of, or creation, attachment, or perfection of a
 86 29 security interest in, the promissory note, health-care-
 86 30 insurance receivable, or general intangible, is ineffective to
 86 31 the extent that the term:
 86 32    a.  would impair the creation, attachment, or perfection of
 86 33 a security interest; or
 86 34    b.  provides that the assignment or transfer or the
 86 35 creation, attachment, or perfection of the security interest
 87  1 may give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment,
 87  2 claim, defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy
 87  3 under the promissory note, health-care-insurance receivable,
 87  4 or general intangible.
 87  5    2.  APPLICABILITY OF SUBSECTION 1 TO SALES OF CERTAIN
 87  6 RIGHTS TO PAYMENT.  Subsection 1 applies to a security
 87  7 interest in a payment intangible or promissory note only if
 87  8 the security interest arises out of a sale of the payment
 87  9 intangible or promissory note.
 87 10    3.  LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON ASSIGNMENT GENERALLY INEFFECTIVE.
 87 11 A rule of law, statute, or regulation that prohibits,
 87 12 restricts, or requires the consent of a government,
 87 13 governmental body or official, person obligated on a
 87 14 promissory note, or account debtor to the assignment or
 87 15 transfer of, or creation of a security interest in, a
 87 16 promissory note, health-care-insurance receivable, or general
 87 17 intangible, including a contract, permit, license, or
 87 18 franchise between an account debtor and a debtor, is
 87 19 ineffective to the extent that the rule of law, statute, or
 87 20 regulation:
 87 21    a.  would impair the creation, attachment, or perfection of
 87 22 a security interest; or
 87 23    b.  provides that the assignment or transfer or the
 87 24 creation, attachment, or perfection of the security interest
 87 25 may give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment,
 87 26 claim, defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy
 87 27 under the promissory note, health-care-insurance receivable,
 87 28 or general intangible.
 87 29    4.  LIMITATION ON INEFFECTIVENESS UNDER SUBSECTIONS 1 AND
 87 30 3.  To the extent that a term in a promissory note or in an
 87 31 agreement between an account debtor and a debtor which relates
 87 32 to a health-care-insurance receivable or general intangible or
 87 33 a rule of law, statute, or regulation described in subsection
 87 34 3 would be effective under law other than this Article but is
 87 35 ineffective under subsection 1 or 3, the creation, attachment,
 88  1 or perfection of a security interest in the promissory note,
 88  2 health-care-insurance receivable, or general intangible:
 88  3    a.  is not enforceable against the person obligated on the
 88  4 promissory note or the account debtor;
 88  5    b.  does not impose a duty or obligation on the person
 88  6 obligated on the promissory note or the account debtor;

 88  8 note or the account debtor to recognize the security interest,
 88  9 pay or render performance to the secured party, or accept
 88 10 payment or performance from the secured party;
 88 11    d.  does not entitle the secured party to use or assign the
 88 12 debtor's rights under the promissory note, health-care-
 88 13 insurance receivable, or general intangible, including any
 88 14 related information or materials furnished to the debtor in
 88 15 the transaction giving rise to the promissory note, health-
 88 16 care-insurance receivable, or general intangible;
 88 17    e.  does not entitle the secured party to use, assign,
 88 18 possess, or have access to any trade secrets or confidential
 88 19 information of the person obligated on the promissory note or
 88 20 the account debtor; and
 88 21    f.  does not entitle the secured party to enforce the
 88 22 security interest in the promissory note, health-care-
 88 23 insurance receivable, or general intangible.
 88 24    5.  SECTION PREVAILS OVER SPECIFIED INCONSISTENT LAW.  This
 88 25 section prevails over any inconsistent provision of an
 88 26 existing or future statute, rule, or regulation of this state
 88 27 unless the provision is contained in a statute of this state,
 88 28 refers expressly to this section, and states that the
 88 29 provision prevails over this section.
 88 30    Sec. 71.  NEW SECTION.  554.9409  RESTRICTIONS ON
 88 31 ASSIGNMENT OF LETTER-OF-CREDIT RIGHTS INEFFECTIVE.
 88 32    1.  TERM OR LAW RESTRICTING ASSIGNMENT GENERALLY
 88 33 INEFFECTIVE.  A term in a letter of credit or a rule of law,
 88 34 statute, regulation, custom, or practice applicable to the
 88 35 letter of credit which prohibits, restricts, or requires the
 89  1 consent of an applicant, issuer, or nominated person to a
 89  2 beneficiary's assignment of or creation of a security interest
 89  3 in a letter-of-credit right is ineffective to the extent that
 89  4 the term or rule of law, statute, regulation, custom, or
 89  5 practice:
 89  6    a.  would impair the creation, attachment, or perfection of
 89  7 a security interest in the letter-of-credit right; or
 89  8    b.  provides that the assignment or the creation,
 89  9 attachment, or perfection of the security interest may give
 89 10 rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim,
 89 11 defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy under
 89 12 the letter-of-credit right.
 89 13    2.  LIMITATION ON INEFFECTIVENESS UNDER SUBSECTION 1.  To
 89 14 the extent that a term in a letter of credit is ineffective
 89 15 under subsection 1 but would be effective under law other than
 89 16 this Article or a custom or practice applicable to the letter
 89 17 of credit, to the transfer of a right to draw or otherwise
 89 18 demand performance under the letter of credit, or to the
 89 19 assignment of a right to proceeds of the letter of credit, the
 89 20 creation, attachment, or perfection of a security interest in
 89 21 the letter-of-credit right:
 89 22    a.  is not enforceable against the applicant, issuer,
 89 23 nominated person, or transferee beneficiary;
 89 24    b.  imposes no duties or obligations on the applicant,
 89 25 issuer, nominated person, or transferee beneficiary; and

 89 27 person, or transferee beneficiary to recognize the security
 89 28 interest, pay or render performance to the secured party, or
 89 29 accept payment or other performance from the secured party.

 90 13 cases, including a case in which the collateral is goods that
 90 14 are or are to become fixtures and the financing statement is
 90 15 not filed as a fixture filing.
 90 16    2.  FILING OFFICE FOR TRANSMITTING UTILITIES.  The office
 90 17 in which to file a financing statement to perfect a security
 90 18 interest in collateral, including fixtures, of a transmitting
 90 19 utility is the office of the secretary of state.  The
 90 20 financing statement also constitutes a fixture filing as to
 90 21 the collateral indicated in the financing statement which is
 90 22 or is to become fixtures.
 90 23    Sec. 73.  NEW SECTION.  554.9502  CONTENTS OF FINANCING
 90 24 STATEMENT – RECORD OF MORTGAGE AS FINANCING STATEMENT – TIME
 90 25 OF FILING FINANCING STATEMENT.
 90 26    1.  SUFFICIENCY OF FINANCING STATEMENT.  Subject to
 90 27 subsection 2, a financing statement is sufficient only if it:
 90 28    a.  provides the name of the debtor;
 90 29    b.  provides the name of the secured party or a
 90 30 representative of the secured party; and
 90 31    c.  indicates the collateral covered by the financing
 90 32 statement.
 90 33    2.  REAL-PROPERTY-RELATED FINANCING STATEMENTS.  Except as
 90 34 otherwise provided in section 554.9501, subsection 2, to be
 90 35 sufficient, a financing statement that covers as-extracted
 91  1 collateral or timber to be cut, or which is filed as a fixture
 91  2 filing and covers goods that are or are to become fixtures,
 91  3 must satisfy subsection 1 and also:
 91  4    a.  indicate that it covers this type of collateral;
 91  5    b.  indicate that it is to be filed for record in the real
 91  6 property records;
 91  7    c.  provide a description of the real property to which the
 91  8 collateral is related sufficient to give constructive notice
 91  9 of a mortgage under the law of this state if the description
 91 10 were contained in a record of the mortgage of the real
 91 11 property; and
 91 12    d.  if the debtor does not have an interest of record in
 91 13 the real property, provide the name of a record owner.
 91 14    3.  RECORD OF MORTGAGE AS FINANCING STATEMENT.  A record of
 91 15 a mortgage is effective, from the date of recording, as a
 91 16 financing statement filed as a fixture filing or as a
 91 17 financing statement covering as-extracted collateral or timber
 91 18 to be cut only if:
 91 19    a.  the record indicates the goods or accounts that it
 91 20 covers;
 91 21    b.  the goods are or are to become fixtures related to the
 91 22 real property described in the record or the collateral is
 91 23 related to the real property described in the record and is
 91 24 as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut;
 91 25    c.  the record satisfies the requirements for a financing
 91 26 statement in this section other than an indication that it is
 91 27 to be filed in the real property records; and
 91 28    d.  the record is duly recorded.
 91 29    4.  FILING BEFORE SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ATTACHMENT.  A
 91 30 financing statement may be filed before a security agreement
 91 31 is made or a security interest otherwise attaches.
 91 32    Sec. 74.  NEW SECTION.  554.9503  NAME OF DEBTOR AND
 91 33 SECURED PARTY.
 91 34    1.  SUFFICIENCY OF DEBTOR'S NAME.  A financing statement
 91 35 sufficiently provides the name of the debtor:
 92  1    a.  if the debtor is a registered organization, only if the
 92  2 financing statement provides the name of the debtor indicated
 92  3 on the public record of the debtor's jurisdiction of
 92  4 organization which shows the debtor to have been organized;
 92  5    b.  if the debtor is a decedent's estate, only if the
 92  6 financing statement provides the name of the decedent and
 92  7 indicates that the debtor is an estate;
 92  8    c.  if the debtor is a trust or a trustee acting with
 92  9 respect to property held in trust, only if the financing
 92 10 statement:
 92 11    (1)  provides the name specified for the trust in its
 92 12 organic documents or, if no name is specified, provides the
 92 13 name of the settlor and additional information sufficient to
 92 14 distinguish the debtor from other trusts having one or more of
 92 15 the same settlors; and
 92 16    (2)  indicates, in the debtor's name or otherwise, that the
 92 17 debtor is a trust or is a trustee acting with respect to
 92 18 property held in trust; and
 92 19    d.  in other cases:
 92 20    (1)  if the debtor has a name, only if it provides the
 92 21 individual or organizational name of the debtor; and
 92 22    (2)  if the debtor does not have a name, only if it
 92 23 provides the names of the partners, members, associates, or
 92 24 other persons comprising the debtor.
 92 25    2.  ADDITIONAL DEBTOR-RELATED INFORMATION.  A financing
 92 26 statement that provides the name of the debtor in accordance
 92 27 with subsection 1 is not rendered ineffective by the absence
 92 28 of:
 92 29    a.  a trade name or other name of the debtor; or
 92 30    b.  unless required under subsection 1, paragraph "d",
 92 31 subparagraph (2), names of partners, members, associates, or
 92 32 other persons comprising the debtor.
 92 33    3.  DEBTOR'S TRADE NAME INSUFFICIENT.  A financing
 92 34 statement that provides only the debtor's trade name does not
 92 35 sufficiently provide the name of the debtor.
 93  1    4.  REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.  Failure to indicate the
 93  2 representative capacity of a secured party or representative
 93  3 of a secured party does not affect the sufficiency of a
 93  4 financing statement.
 93  5    5.  MULTIPLE DEBTORS AND SECURED PARTIES.  A financing
 93  6 statement may provide the name of more than one debtor and the
 93  7 name of more than one secured party.
 93  8    Sec. 75.  NEW SECTION.  554.9504  INDICATION OF COLLATERAL.
 93  9    A financing statement sufficiently indicates the collateral
 93 10 that it covers if the financing statement provides:
 93 11    1.  a description of the collateral pursuant to section
 93 12 554.9108; or
 93 13    2.  an indication that the financing statement covers all
 93 14 assets or all personal property.
 93 15    Sec. 76.  NEW SECTION.  554.9505  FILING AND COMPLIANCE
 93 16 WITH OTHER STATUTES AND TREATIES FOR CONSIGNMENTS, LEASES,
 93 17 OTHER BAILMENTS, AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS.
 93 18    1.  USE OF TERMS OTHER THAN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY.  A
 93 19 consignor, lessor, or other bailor of goods, a licensor, or a
 93 20 buyer of a payment intangible or promissory note may file a
 93 21 financing statement, or may comply with a statute or treaty
 93 22 described in section 554.9311, subsection 1, using the terms
 93 23 "consignor", "consignee", "lessor", "lessee", "bailor",
 93 24 "bailee", "licensor", "licensee", "owner", "registered owner",
 93 25 "buyer", "seller", or words of similar import, instead of the
 93 26 terms "secured party" and "debtor".
 93 27    2.  EFFECT OF FINANCING STATEMENT UNDER SUBSECTION 1.  This
 93 28 part applies to the filing of a financing statement under
 93 29 subsection 1 and, as appropriate, to compliance that is
 93 30 equivalent to filing a financing statement under section
 93 31 554.9311, subsection 2, but the filing or compliance is not of
 93 32 itself a factor in determining whether the collateral secures
 93 33 an obligation.  If it is determined for another reason that
 93 34 the collateral secures an obligation, a security interest held
 93 35 by the consignor, lessor, bailor, licensor, owner, or buyer
 94  1 which attaches to the collateral is perfected by the filing or
 94  2 compliance.
 94  3    Sec. 77.  NEW SECTION.  554.9506  EFFECT OF ERRORS OR
 94  4 OMISSIONS.
 94  5    1.  MINOR ERRORS AND OMISSIONS.  A financing statement
 94  6 substantially satisfying the requirements of this part is
 94  7 effective, even if it has minor errors or omissions, unless
 94  8 the errors or omissions make the financing statement seriously
 94  9 misleading.
 94 10    2.  FINANCING STATEMENT SERIOUSLY MISLEADING.  Except as
 94 11 otherwise provided in subsection 3, a financing statement that
 94 12 fails sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in
 94 13 accordance with section 554.9503, subsection 1, is seriously
 94 14 misleading.
 94 15    3.  FINANCING STATEMENT NOT SERIOUSLY MISLEADING.  If a
 94 16 search of the records of the filing office under the debtor's
 94 17 correct name, using the filing office's standard search logic,
 94 18 if any, would disclose a financing statement that fails
 94 19 sufficiently to provide the name of the debtor in accordance
 94 20 with section 554.9503, subsection 1, the name provided does
 94 21 not make the financing statement seriously misleading.
 94 22    4.  DEBTOR'S CORRECT NAME.  For purposes of section
 94 23 554.9508, subsection 2, the "debtor's correct name" in
 94 24 subsection 3 means the correct name of the new debtor.
 94 25    Sec. 78.  NEW SECTION.  554.9507  EFFECT OF CERTAIN EVENTS
 94 26 ON EFFECTIVENESS OF FINANCING STATEMENT.
 94 27    1.  DISPOSITION.  A filed financing statement remains
 94 28 effective with respect to collateral that is sold, exchanged,
 94 29 leased, licensed, or otherwise disposed of and in which a
 94 30 security interest or agricultural lien continues, even if the
 94 31 secured party knows of or consents to the disposition.
 94 32    2.  INFORMATION BECOMING SERIOUSLY MISLEADING.  Except as
 94 33 otherwise provided in subsection 3 and section 554.9508, a
 94 34 financing statement is not rendered ineffective if, after the
 94 35 financing statement is filed, the information provided in the
 95  1 financing statement becomes seriously misleading under section
 95  2 554.9506.
 95  3    3.  CHANGE IN DEBTOR'S NAME.  If a debtor so changes its
 95  4 name that a filed financing statement becomes seriously
 95  5 misleading under section 554.9506:
 95  6    a.  the financing statement is effective to perfect a
 95  7 security interest in collateral acquired by the debtor before,
 95  8 or within four months after, the change; and
 95  9    b.  the financing statement is not effective to perfect a
 95 10 security interest in collateral acquired by the debtor more
 95 11 than four months after the change, unless an amendment to the
 95 12 financing statement which renders the financing statement not
 95 13 seriously misleading is filed within four months after the
 95 14 change.
 95 15    Sec. 79.  NEW SECTION.  554.9508  EFFECTIVENESS OF
 95 16 FINANCING STATEMENT IF NEW DEBTOR BECOMES BOUND BY SECURITY
 95 17 AGREEMENT.
 95 18    1.  FINANCING STATEMENT NAMING ORIGINAL DEBTOR.  Except as
 95 19 otherwise provided in this section, a filed financing
 95 20 statement naming an original debtor is effective to perfect a
 95 21 security interest in collateral in which a new debtor has or
 95 22 acquires rights to the extent that the financing statement
 95 23 would have been effective had the original debtor acquired
 95 24 rights in the collateral.
 95 25    2.  FINANCING STATEMENT BECOMING SERIOUSLY MISLEADING.  If
 95 26 the difference between the name of the original debtor and
 95 27 that of the new debtor causes a filed financing statement that
 95 28 is effective under subsection 1 to be seriously misleading
 95 29 under section 554.9506:
 95 30    a.  the financing statement is effective to perfect a
 95 31 security interest in collateral acquired by the new debtor
 95 32 before, and within four months after, the new debtor becomes
 95 33 bound under section 554.9203, subsection 4; and
 95 34    b.  the financing statement is not effective to perfect a
 95 35 security interest in collateral acquired by the new debtor
 96  1 more than four months after the new debtor becomes bound under
 96  2 section 554.9203, subsection 4, unless an initial financing
 96  3 statement providing the name of the new debtor is filed before
 96  4 the expiration of that time.
 96  5    3.  WHEN SECTION NOT APPLICABLE.  This section does not
 96  6 apply to collateral as to which a filed financing statement
 96  7 remains effective against the new debtor under section
 96  8 554.9507, subsection 1.
 96  9    Sec. 80.  NEW SECTION.  554.9509  PERSONS ENTITLED TO FILE
 96 10 A RECORD.
 96 11    1.  PERSON ENTITLED TO FILE RECORD.  A person may file an
 96 12 initial financing statement, amendment that adds collateral
 96 13 covered by a financing statement, or amendment that adds a
 96 14 debtor to a financing statement only if:
 96 15    a.  the debtor authorizes the filing in an authenticated
 96 16 record or pursuant to subsection 2 or 3; or
 96 17    b.  the person holds an agricultural lien that has become
 96 18 effective at the time of filing and the financing statement
 96 19 covers only collateral in which the person holds an
 96 20 agricultural lien.
 96 21    2.  SECURITY AGREEMENT AS AUTHORIZATION.  By authenticating
 96 22 or becoming bound as debtor by a security agreement, a debtor
 96 23 or new debtor authorizes the filing of an initial financing
 96 24 statement, and an amendment, covering:
 96 25    a.  the collateral described in the security agreement; and
 96 26    b.  property that becomes collateral under section
 96 27 554.9315, subsection 1, paragraph "b", whether or not the
 96 28 security agreement expressly covers proceeds.
 96 29    3.  ACQUISITION OF COLLATERAL AS AUTHORIZATION.  By
 96 30 acquiring collateral in which a security interest or
 96 31 agricultural lien continues under section 554.9315, subsection
 96 32 1, paragraph "a", a debtor authorizes the filing of an initial
 96 33 financing statement, and an amendment, covering the collateral
 96 34 and property that becomes collateral under section 554.9315,
 96 35 subsection 1, paragraph "b".
 97  1    4.  PERSON ENTITLED TO FILE CERTAIN AMENDMENTS.  A person
 97  2 may file an amendment other than an amendment that adds
 97  3 collateral covered by a financing statement or an amendment
 97  4 that adds a debtor to a financing statement only if:
 97  5    a.  the secured party of record authorizes the filing; or
 97  6    b.  the amendment is a termination statement for a
 97  7 financing statement as to which the secured party of record
 97  8 has failed to file or send a termination statement as required
 97  9 by section 554.9513, subsection 1 or 3, the debtor authorizes
 97 10 the filing, and the termination statement indicates that the
 97 11 debtor authorized it to be filed.
 97 12    5.  MULTIPLE SECURED PARTIES OF RECORD.  If there is more
 97 13 than one secured party of record for a financing statement,
 97 14 each secured party of record may authorize the filing of an
 97 15 amendment under subsection 4.
 97 16    Sec. 81.  NEW SECTION.  554.9510  EFFECTIVENESS OF FILED
 97 17 RECORD.
 97 18    1.  FILED RECORD EFFECTIVE IF AUTHORIZED.  A filed record
 97 19 is effective only to the extent that it was filed by a person
 97 20 that may file it under section 554.9509.
 97 21    2.  AUTHORIZATION BY ONE SECURED PARTY OF RECORD.  A record
 97 22 authorized by one secured party of record does not affect the
 97 23 financing statement with respect to another secured party of
 97 24 record.
 97 25    3.  CONTINUATION STATEMENT NOT TIMELY FILED.  A
 97 26 continuation statement that is not filed within the six-month
 97 27 period prescribed by section 554.9515, subsection 4, is
 97 28 ineffective.
 97 29    Sec. 82.  NEW SECTION.  554.9511  SECURED PARTY OF RECORD.
 97 30    1.  SECURED PARTY OF RECORD.  A secured party of record
 97 31 with respect to a financing statement is a person whose name
 97 32 is provided as the name of the secured party or a
 97 33 representative of the secured party in an initial financing
 97 34 statement that has been filed.  If an initial financing
 97 35 statement is filed under section 554.9514, subsection 1, the
 98  1 assignee named in the initial financing statement is the
 98  2 secured party of record with respect to the financing
 98  3 statement.
 98  4    2.  AMENDMENT NAMING SECURED PARTY OF RECORD.  If an
 98  5 amendment of a financing statement which provides the name of
 98  6 a person as a secured party or a representative of a secured
 98  7 party is filed, the person named in the amendment is a secured
 98  8 party of record.  If an amendment is filed under section
 98  9 554.9514, subsection 2, the assignee named in the amendment is
 98 10 a secured party of record.
 98 11    3.  AMENDMENT DELETING SECURED PARTY OF RECORD.  A person
 98 12 remains a secured party of record until the filing of an
 98 13 amendment of the financing statement which deletes the person.
 98 14    Sec. 83.  NEW SECTION.  554.9512  AMENDMENT OF FINANCING
 98 15 STATEMENT.
 98 16    1.  AMENDMENT OF INFORMATION IN FINANCING STATEMENT.
 98 17 Subject to section 554.9509, a person may add or delete
 98 18 collateral covered by, continue or terminate the effectiveness
 98 19 of, or, subject to subsection 5, otherwise amend the
 98 20 information provided in, a financing statement by filing an
 98 21 amendment that:
 98 22    a.  identifies, by its file number, the initial financing
 98 23 statement to which the amendment relates; and
 98 24    b.  if the amendment relates to an initial financing
 98 25 statement filed or recorded in a filing office described in
 98 26 section 554.9501, subsection 1, paragraph "a", provides the
 98 27 date and time that the initial financing statement was filed
 98 28 or recorded and the information specified in section 554.9502,
 98 29 subsection 2.
 98 30    2.  PERIOD OF EFFECTIVENESS NOT AFFECTED.  Except as
 98 31 otherwise provided in section 554.9515, the filing of an
 98 32 amendment does not extend the period of effectiveness of the
 98 33 financing statement.
 98 34    3.  EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENT ADDING COLLATERAL.  A
 98 35 financing statement that is amended by an amendment that adds
 99  1 collateral is effective as to the added collateral only from
 99  2 the date of the filing of the amendment.
 99  3    4.  EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENT ADDING DEBTOR.  A financing
 99  4 statement that is amended by an amendment that adds a debtor
 99  5 is effective as to the added debtor only from the date of the
 99  6 filing of the amendment.
 99  7    5.  CERTAIN AMENDMENTS INEFFECTIVE.  An amendment is
 99  8 ineffective to the extent it:
 99  9    a.  purports to delete all debtors and fails to provide the
 99 10 name of a debtor to be covered by the financing statement; or
 99 11    b.  purports to delete all secured parties of record and
 99 12 fails to provide the name of a new secured party of record.
 99 13    Sec. 84.  NEW SECTION.  554.9513  TERMINATION STATEMENT.
 99 14    1.  CONSUMER GOODS.  A secured party shall cause the
 99 15 secured party of record for a financing statement to file a
 99 16 termination statement for the financing statement if the
 99 17 financing statement covers consumer goods and:
 99 18    a.  there is no obligation secured by the collateral
 99 19 covered by the financing statement and no commitment to make
 99 20 an advance, incur an obligation, or otherwise give value; or
 99 21    b.  the debtor did not authorize the filing of the initial
 99 22 financing statement.
 99 23    2.  TIME FOR COMPLIANCE WITH SUBSECTION 1.  To comply with
 99 24 subsection 1, a secured party shall cause the secured party of
 99 25 record to file the termination statement:
 99 26    a.  within one month after there is no obligation secured
 99 27 by the collateral covered by the financing statement and no
 99 28 commitment to make an advance, incur an obligation, or
 99 29 otherwise give value; or
 99 30    b.  if earlier, within twenty days after the secured party
 99 31 receives an authenticated demand from a debtor.
 99 32    3.  OTHER COLLATERAL.  In cases not governed by subsection
 99 33 1, within twenty days after a secured party receives an
 99 34 authenticated demand from a debtor, the secured party shall
 99 35 cause the secured party of record for a financing statement to
100  1 send to the debtor a termination statement for the financing
100  2 statement or file the termination statement in the filing
100  3 office if:
100  4    a.  except in the case of a financing statement covering
100  5 accounts or chattel paper that has been sold or goods that are
100  6 the subject of a consignment, there is no obligation secured
100  7 by the collateral covered by the financing statement and no
100  8 commitment to make an advance, incur an obligation, or
100  9 otherwise give value;
100 10    b.  the financing statement covers accounts or chattel
100 11 paper that has been sold but as to which the account debtor or
100 12 other person obligated has discharged its obligation;
100 13    c.  the financing statement covers goods that were the
100 14 subject of a consignment to the debtor but are not in the
100 15 debtor's possession; or
100 16    d.  the debtor did not authorize the filing of the initial
100 17 financing statement.
100 18    4.  EFFECT OF FILING TERMINATION STATEMENT.  Except as
100 19 otherwise provided in section 554.9510, upon the filing of a
100 20 termination statement with the filing office, the financing
100 21 statement to which the termination statement relates ceases to
100 22 be effective.  Except as otherwise provided in section
100 23 554.9510, for purposes of section 554.9519, subsection 7,
100 24 section 554.9522, subsection 1, and section 554.9523,
100 25 subsection 3, the filing with the filing office of a
100 26 termination statement relating to a financing statement that
100 27 indicates that the debtor is a transmitting utility also
100 28 causes the effectiveness of the financing statement to lapse.
100 29    Sec. 85.  NEW SECTION.  554.9514  ASSIGNMENT OF POWERS OF
100 30 SECURED PARTY OF RECORD.
100 31    1.  ASSIGNMENT REFLECTED ON INITIAL FINANCING STATEMENT.
100 32 Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, an initial
100 33 financing statement may reflect an assignment of all of the
100 34 secured party's power to authorize an amendment to the
100 35 financing statement by providing the name and mailing address
101  1 of the assignee as the name and address of the secured party.
101  2    2.  ASSIGNMENT OF FILED FINANCING STATEMENT.  Except as
101  3 otherwise provided in subsection 3, a secured party of record
101  4 may assign of record all or part of its power to authorize an
101  5 amendment to a financing statement by filing in the filing
101  6 office an amendment of the financing statement which:
101  7    a.  identifies, by its file number, the initial financing
101  8 statement to which it relates;
101  9    b.  provides the name of the assignor; and
101 10    c.  provides the name and mailing address of the assignee.
101 11    3.  ASSIGNMENT OF RECORD OF MORTGAGE.  An assignment of
101 12 record of a security interest in a fixture covered by a record
101 13 of a mortgage which is effective as a financing statement
101 14 filed as a fixture filing under section 554.9502, subsection
101 15 3, may be made only by an assignment of record of the mortgage
101 16 in the manner provided by law of this state other than this
101 17 chapter.

101 21    1.  FIVE-YEAR EFFECTIVENESS.  Except as otherwise provided
101 22 in subsections 2, 5, 6, and 7, a filed financing statement is
101 23 effective for a period of five years after the date of filing.
101 24    2.  PUBLIC-FINANCE OR MANUFACTURED-HOME TRANSACTION.
101 25 Except as otherwise provided in subsections 5, 6, and 7, an
101 26 initial financing statement filed in connection with a public-
101 27 finance transaction or manufactured-home transaction is
101 28 effective for a period of thirty years after the date of
101 29 filing if it indicates that it is filed in connection with a
101 30 public-finance transaction or manufactured-home transaction.
101 31    3.  LAPSE AND CONTINUATION OF FINANCING STATEMENT.  The
101 32 effectiveness of a filed financing statement lapses on the
101 33 expiration of the period of its effectiveness unless before
101 34 the lapse a continuation statement is filed pursuant to
101 35 subsection 4.  Upon lapse, a financing statement ceases to be
102  1 effective and any security interest or agricultural lien that
102  2 was perfected by the financing statement becomes unperfected,
102  3 unless the security interest is perfected otherwise.  If the
102  4 security interest or agricultural lien becomes unperfected
102  5 upon lapse, it is deemed never to have been perfected as
102  6 against a purchaser of the collateral for value.
102  7    4.  WHEN CONTINUATION STATEMENT MAY BE FILED.  A
102  8 continuation statement may be filed only within six months
102  9 before the expiration of the five-year period specified in
102 10 subsection 1 or the thirty-year period specified in subsection
102 11 2, whichever is applicable.
102 12    5.  EFFECT OF FILING CONTINUATION STATEMENT.  Except as
102 13 otherwise provided in section 554.9510, upon timely filing of
102 14 a continuation statement, the effectiveness of the initial
102 15 financing statement continues for a period of five years
102 16 commencing on the day on which the financing statement would
102 17 have become ineffective in the absence of the filing.  Upon
102 18 the expiration of the five-year period, the financing
102 19 statement lapses in the same manner as provided in subsection
102 20 3, unless, before the lapse, another continuation statement is
102 21 filed pursuant to subsection 4.  Succeeding continuation
102 22 statements may be filed in the same manner to continue the
102 23 effectiveness of the initial financing statement.
102 24    6.  TRANSMITTING UTILITY FINANCING STATEMENT.  If a debtor
102 25 is a transmitting utility and a filed financing statement so
102 26 indicates, the financing statement is effective until a
102 27 termination statement is filed.
102 28    7.  RECORD OF MORTGAGE AS FINANCING STATEMENT.  A record of
102 29 a mortgage that is effective as a financing statement filed as
102 30 a fixture filing under section 554.9502, subsection 3, remains
102 31 effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing
102 32 until the mortgage is released or satisfied of record or its
102 33 effectiveness otherwise terminates as to the real property.
102 34    Sec. 87.  NEW SECTION.  554.9516  WHAT CONSTITUTES FILING
102 35 – EFFECTIVENESS OF FILING.
103  1    1.  WHAT CONSTITUTES FILING.  Except as otherwise provided
103  2 in subsection 2, communication of a record to a filing office
103  3 and tender of the filing fee or acceptance of the record by
103  4 the filing office constitutes filing.
103  5    2.  REFUSAL TO ACCEPT RECORD – FILING DOES NOT OCCUR.
103  6 Filing does not occur with respect to a record that a filing
103  7 office refuses to accept because:
103  8    a.  the record is not communicated by a method or medium of
103  9 communication authorized by the filing office;
103 10    b.  an amount equal to or greater than the applicable
103 11 filing fee is not tendered;
103 12    c.  the filing office is unable to index the record
103 13 because:
103 14    (1)  in the case of an initial financing statement, the
103 15 record does not provide a name for the debtor;
103 16    (2)  in the case of an amendment or correction statement,
103 17 the record:
103 18    (a)  does not identify the initial financing statement as
103 19 required by section 554.9512 or 554.9518, as applicable; or
103 20    (b)  identifies an initial financing statement whose
103 21 effectiveness has lapsed under section 554.9515;
103 22    (3)  in the case of an initial financing statement that
103 23 provides the name of a debtor identified as an individual or
103 24 an amendment that provides a name of a debtor identified as an
103 25 individual which was not previously provided in the financing
103 26 statement to which the record relates, the record does not
103 27 identify the debtor's last name; or
103 28    (4)  in the case of a record filed or recorded in the
103 29 filing office described in section 554.9501, subsection 1,
103 30 paragraph "a", the record does not provide a sufficient
103 31 description of the real property to which it relates;
103 32    d.  in the case of an initial financing statement or an
103 33 amendment that adds a secured party of record, the record does
103 34 not provide a name and mailing address for the secured party
103 35 of record;
104  1    e.  in the case of an initial financing statement or an
104  2 amendment that provides a name of a debtor which was not
104  3 previously provided in the financing statement to which the
104  4 amendment relates, the record does not:
104  5    (1)  provide a mailing address for the debtor;
104  6    (2)  indicate whether the debtor is an individual or an
104  7 organization; or
104  8    (3)  if the financing statement indicates that the debtor
104  9 is an organization, provide:
104 10    (a)  a type of organization for the debtor;
104 11    (b)  a jurisdiction of organization for the debtor; or
104 12    (c)  an organizational identification number for the debtor
104 13 or indicate that the debtor has none;
104 14    f.  in the case of an assignment reflected in an initial
104 15 financing statement under section 554.9514, subsection 1, or
104 16 an amendment filed under section 554.9514, subsection 2, the
104 17 record does not provide a name and mailing address for the
104 18 assignee; or
104 19    g.  in the case of a continuation statement, the record is
104 20 not filed within the six-month period prescribed by section
104 21 554.9515, subsection 4.
104 22    3.  RULES APPLICABLE TO SUBSECTION 2.  For purposes of
104 23 subsection 2:
104 24    a.  a record does not provide information if the filing
104 25 office is unable to read or decipher the information; and
104 26    b.  a record that does not indicate that it is an amendment
104 27 or identify an initial financing statement to which it
104 28 relates, as required by section 554.9512, 554.9514, or
104 29 554.9518, is an initial financing statement.
104 30    4.  REFUSAL TO ACCEPT RECORD – RECORD EFFECTIVE AS FILED
104 31 RECORD.  A record that is communicated to the filing office
104 32 with tender of the filing fee, but which the filing office
104 33 refuses to accept for a reason other than one set forth in
104 34 subsection 2, is effective as a filed record except as against
104 35 a purchaser of the collateral which gives value in reasonable
105  1 reliance upon the absence of the record from the files.
105  2    Sec. 88.  NEW SECTION.  554.9517  EFFECT OF INDEXING
105  3 ERRORS.
105  4    The failure of the filing office to index a record
105  5 correctly does not affect the effectiveness of the filed
105  6 record.
105  7    Sec. 89.  NEW SECTION.  554.9518  CLAIM CONCERNING
105  8 INACCURATE OR WRONGFULLY FILED RECORD.
105  9    1.  CORRECTION STATEMENT.  A person may file in the filing
105 10 office a correction statement with respect to a record indexed
105 11 there under the person's name if the person believes that the
105 12 record is inaccurate or was wrongfully filed.
105 13    2.  SUFFICIENCY OF CORRECTION STATEMENT.  A correction
105 14 statement must:
105 15    a.  identify the record to which it relates by:
105 16    (1)  the file number assigned to the initial financing
105 17 statement to which the record relates; and
105 18    (2)  if the correction statement relates to a record filed
105 19 or recorded in a filing office described in section 554.9501,
105 20 subsection 1, paragraph "a", the date and time that the
105 21 initial financing statement was filed or recorded and the
105 22 information specified in section 554.9502, subsection 2;
105 23    b.  indicate that it is a correction statement; and
105 24    c.  provide the basis for the person's belief that the
105 25 record is inaccurate and indicate the manner in which the
105 26 person believes the record should be amended to cure any
105 27 inaccuracy or provide the basis for the person's belief that
105 28 the record was wrongfully filed.
105 29    3.  RECORD NOT AFFECTED BY CORRECTION STATEMENT.  The
105 30 filing of a correction statement does not affect the
105 31 effectiveness of an initial financing statement or other filed
105 32 record.  
105 33            B.  DUTIES AND OPERATION OF FILING OFFICE
105 34    Sec. 90.  NEW SECTION.  554.9519  NUMBERING, MAINTAINING,
105 35 AND INDEXING RECORDS – COMMUNICATING INFORMATION PROVIDED IN
106  1 RECORDS.
106  2    1.  FILING OFFICE DUTIES.  For each record filed in a
106  3 filing office, the filing office shall:
106  4    a.  assign a unique number to the filed record;
106  5    b.  create a record that bears the number assigned to the
106  6 filed record and the date and time of filing;
106  7    c.  maintain the filed record for public inspection; and
106  8    d.  index the filed record in accordance with subsections
106  9 3, 4, and 5.
106 10    2.  FILE NUMBER.  A file number assigned after January 1,
106 11 2002, must include a digit that:
106 12    a.  is mathematically derived from or related to the other
106 13 digits of the file number; and
106 14    b.  aids the filing office in determining whether a number
106 15 communicated as the file number includes a single-digit or
106 16 transpositional error.
106 17    3.  INDEXING – GENERAL.  Except as otherwise provided in
106 18 subsections 4 and 5, the filing office shall:
106 19    a.  index an initial financing statement according to the
106 20 name of the debtor and index all filed records relating to the
106 21 initial financing statement in a manner that associates with
106 22 one another an initial financing statement and all filed
106 23 records relating to the initial financing statement; and
106 24    b.  index a record that provides a name of a debtor which
106 25 was not previously provided in the financing statement to
106 26 which the record relates also according to the name that was
106 27 not previously provided.
106 28    4.  INDEXING – REAL-PROPERTY-RELATED FINANCING STATEMENT.
106 29 If a financing statement is filed as a fixture filing or
106 30 covers as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, it must be
106 31 filed for record and the filing office shall index it:
106 32    a.  under the names of the debtor and of each owner of
106 33 record shown on the financing statement as if they were the
106 34 mortgagors under a mortgage of the real property described;
106 35 and
107  1    b.  to the extent that the law of this state provides for
107  2 indexing of records of mortgages under the name of the
107  3 mortgagee, under the name of the secured party as if the
107  4 secured party were the mortgagee thereunder, or, if indexing
107  5 is by description, as if the financing statement were a record
107  6 of a mortgage of the real property described.
107  7    5.  INDEXING – REAL-PROPERTY-RELATED ASSIGNMENT.  If a
107  8 financing statement is filed as a fixture filing or covers as-
107  9 extracted collateral or timber to be cut, the filing office
107 10 shall index an assignment filed under section 554.9514,
107 11 subsection 1, or an amendment filed under section 554.9514,
107 12 subsection 2:
107 13    a.  under the name of the assignor as grantor; and
107 14    b.  to the extent that the law of this state provides for
107 15 indexing a record of the assignment of a mortgage under the
107 16 name of the assignee, under the name of the assignee.
107 17    6.  RETRIEVAL AND ASSOCIATION CAPABILITY.  The filing
107 18 office shall maintain a capability:
107 19    a.  to retrieve a record by the name of the debtor and:
107 20    (1)  if the filing office is described in section 554.9501,
107 21 subsection 1, paragraph "a", by the file number assigned to
107 22 the initial financing statement to which the record relates
107 23 and the date and time that the record was filed or recorded;
107 24 or
107 25    (2)  if the filing office is described in section 554.9501,
107 26 subsection 1, paragraph "b", by the file number assigned to
107 27 the initial financing statement to which the record relates;
107 28 and
107 29    b.  to associate and retrieve with one another an initial
107 30 financing statement and each filed record relating to the
107 31 initial financing statement.
107 32    7.  REMOVAL OF DEBTOR'S NAME.  The filing office may not
107 33 remove a debtor's name from the index until one year after the
107 34 effectiveness of a financing statement naming the debtor
107 35 lapses under section 554.9515 with respect to all secured
108  1 parties of record.
108  2    8.  TIMELINESS OF FILING OFFICE PERFORMANCE.  The filing
108  3 office shall perform the acts required by subsections 1
108  4 through 5 at the time and in the manner prescribed by filing-
108  5 office rule, but not later than two business days after the
108  6 filing office receives the record in question.
108  7    Sec. 91.  NEW SECTION.  554.9520  ACCEPTANCE AND REFUSAL TO
108  8 ACCEPT RECORD.
108  9    1.  MANDATORY REFUSAL TO ACCEPT RECORD.  A filing office
108 10 shall refuse to accept a record for filing for a reason set
108 11 forth in section 554.9516, subsection 2, and may refuse to
108 12 accept a record for filing only for a reason set forth in
108 13 section 554.9516, subsection 2.
108 14    2.  COMMUNICATION CONCERNING REFUSAL.  If a filing office
108 15 refuses to accept a record for filing, it shall communicate to
108 16 the person that presented the record the fact of and reason
108 17 for the refusal and the date and time the record would have
108 18 been filed had the filing office accepted it.  The
108 19 communication must be made at the time and in the manner
108 20 prescribed by filing-office rule but in no event more than two
108 21 business days after the filing office receives the record.
108 22    3.  WHEN FILED FINANCING STATEMENT EFFECTIVE.  A filed
108 23 financing statement satisfying section 554.9502, subsections 1
108 24 and 2, is effective, even if the filing office is required to
108 25 refuse to accept it for filing under subsection 1.  However,
108 26 section 554.9338 applies to a filed financing statement
108 27 providing information described in section 554.9516,
108 28 subsection 2, paragraph "e", which is incorrect at the time
108 29 the financing statement is filed.
108 30    4.  SEPARATE APPLICATION TO MULTIPLE DEBTORS.  If a record
108 31 communicated to a filing office provides information that
108 32 relates to more than one debtor, this part applies as to each
108 33 debtor separately.
108 34    Sec. 92.  NEW SECTION.  554.9521  UNIFORM FORM OF WRITTEN
108 35 FINANCING STATEMENT AND AMENDMENT.

109  4 the secretary of state by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 17A
109  5 except for a reason set forth in section 554.9516, subsection

109  7 final official text of the 1999 revisions to Article 9 of the
109  8 Uniform Commercial Code promulgated by the American law
109  9 institute and the national conference of commissioners on
109 10 uniform state laws.
109 11    2.  AMENDMENT FORM.  A filing office that accepts written
109 12 records may not refuse to accept a written record in a form
109 13 and format approved by the secretary of state by rule adopted

109 17 revisions to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code
109 18 promulgated by the American law institute and the national
109 19 conference of commissioners on uniform state laws.

109 21 DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS.

109 23 The filing office shall maintain a record of the information

109 25 after the effectiveness of the financing statement has lapsed
109 26 under section 554.9515 with respect to all secured parties of
109 27 record.  The record must be retrievable by using the name of
109 28 the debtor and:
109 29    a.  if the record was filed or recorded in the filing
109 30 office described in section 554.9501, subsection 1, paragraph
109 31 "a", by using the file number assigned to the initial
109 32 financing statement to which the record relates and the date
109 33 and time that the record was filed or recorded; or
109 34    b.  if the record was filed in the filing office described
109 35 in section 554.9501, subsection 1, paragraph "b", by using the
110  1 file number assigned to the initial financing statement to
110  2 which the record relates.
110  3    2.  DESTRUCTION OF WRITTEN RECORDS.  Except to the extent
110  4 that a statute governing disposition of public records
110  5 provides otherwise, the filing office immediately may destroy
110  6 any written record evidencing a financing statement.  However,
110  7 if the filing office destroys a written record, it shall
110  8 maintain another record of the financing statement which
110  9 complies with subsection 1.
110 10    Sec. 94.  NEW SECTION.  554.9523  INFORMATION FROM FILING

110 12    1.  ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF FILING WRITTEN RECORD.  If a person
110 13 that files a written record requests an acknowledgment of the

110 16 to section 554.9519, subsection 1, paragraph "b", and the date

111 33    Delay by the filing office beyond a time limit prescribed
111 34 by this part is excused if:

112  3 office; and
112  4    2.  the filing office exercises reasonable diligence under
112  5 the circumstances.

117 15 not apply.
117 16    2.  ENFORCEMENT – FIXTURES.  Subject to subsection 3, if a

117 32 secured party need not reimburse the encumbrancer or owner for
117 33 any diminution in value of the real property caused by the
117 34 absence of the goods removed or by any necessity of replacing
117 35 them.  A person entitled to reimbursement may refuse
118  1 permission to remove until the secured party gives adequate
118  2 assurance for the performance of the obligation to reimburse.

118 10    b.  the identity of the person; and
118 11    c.  how to communicate with the person; or

119  1 or otherwise render performance to the debtor, and with
119  2 respect to any property that secures the obligations of the
119  3 account debtor or other person obligated on the collateral;
119  4    d.  if it holds a security interest in a deposit account
119  5 perfected by control under section 554.9104, subsection 1,
119  6 paragraph "a", may apply the balance of the deposit account to
119  7 the obligation secured by the deposit account; and

119 14 enable a secured party to exercise under subsection 1,
119 15 paragraph "c", the right of a debtor to enforce a mortgage
119 16 nonjudicially, the secured party may record in the office in
119 17 which a record of the mortgage is recorded:
119 18    a.  a copy of the security agreement that creates or
119 19 provides for a security interest in the obligation secured by

119 21    b.  the secured party's sworn affidavit in recordable form
119 22 stating that:

119 25 nonjudicially.
119 26    3.  COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT.  A
119 27 secured party shall proceed in a commercially reasonable
119 28 manner if the secured party:
119 29    a.  undertakes to collect from or enforce an obligation of
119 30 an account debtor or other person obligated on collateral; and
119 31    b.  is entitled to charge back uncollected collateral or
119 32 otherwise to full or limited recourse against the debtor or a
119 33 secondary obligor.
119 34    4.  EXPENSES OF COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT.  A secured

120  3 expenses incurred by the secured party.
120  4    5.  DUTIES TO SECURED PARTY NOT AFFECTED.  This section

120  9 RIGHT TO SURPLUS.
120 10    1.  APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS, SURPLUS, AND DEFICIENCY IF

120 15 the cash proceeds of collection or enforcement under section

120 17    (1)  the reasonable expenses of collection and enforcement
120 18 and, to the extent provided for by agreement and not
120 19 prohibited by law, reasonable attorney's fees and legal
120 20 expenses incurred by the secured party;
120 21    (2)  the satisfaction of obligations secured by the
120 22 security interest or agricultural lien under which the
120 23 collection or enforcement is made; and
120 24    (3)  the satisfaction of obligations secured by any
120 25 subordinate security interest in or other lien on the
120 26 collateral subject to the security interest or agricultural
120 27 lien under which the collection or enforcement is made if the
120 28 secured party receives an authenticated demand for proceeds
120 29 before distribution of the proceeds is completed.
120 30    b.  if requested by a secured party, a holder of a
120 31 subordinate security interest or other lien shall furnish
120 32 reasonable proof of the interest or lien within a reasonable
120 33 time.  Unless the holder complies, the secured party need not
120 34 comply with the holder's demand under paragraph "a",
120 35 subparagraph (3).
121  1    c.  a secured party need not apply or pay over for
121  2 application noncash proceeds of collection and enforcement
121  3 under section 554.9607 unless the failure to do so would be
121  4 commercially unreasonable.  A secured party that applies or
121  5 pays over for application noncash proceeds shall do so in a
121  6 commercially reasonable manner.
121  7    d.  a secured party shall account to and pay a debtor for
121  8 any surplus, and the obligor is liable for any deficiency.
121  9    2.  NO SURPLUS OR DEFICIENCY IN SALES OF CERTAIN RIGHTS TO

121 11 chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes, the
121 12 debtor is not entitled to any surplus, and the obligor is not
121 13 liable for any deficiency.
121 14    Sec. 107.  NEW SECTION.  554.9609  SECURED PARTY'S RIGHT TO
121 15 TAKE POSSESSION AFTER DEFAULT.
121 16    1.  POSSESSION – RENDERING EQUIPMENT UNUSABLE –

121 20    b.  without removal, may render equipment unusable and
121 21 dispose of collateral on a debtor's premises under section
121 22 554.9610.
121 23    2.  JUDICIAL AND NONJUDICIAL PROCESS.  A secured party may
121 24 proceed under subsection 1:
121 25    a.  pursuant to judicial process; or
121 26    b.  without judicial process, if it proceeds without breach
121 27 of the peace.
121 28    3.  ASSEMBLY OF COLLATERAL.  If so agreed, and in any event
121 29 after default, a secured party may require the debtor to
121 30 assemble the collateral and make it available to the secured
121 31 party at a place to be designated by the secured party which
121 32 is reasonably convenient to both parties.
121 33    Sec. 108.  NEW SECTION.  554.9610  DISPOSITION OF
121 34 COLLATERAL AFTER DEFAULT.
121 35    1.  DISPOSITION AFTER DEFAULT.  After default, a secured
122  1 party may sell, lease, license, or otherwise dispose of any or
122  2 all of the collateral in its present condition or following
122  3 any commercially reasonable preparation or processing.
122  4    2.  COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE DISPOSITION.  Every aspect of a
122  5 disposition of collateral, including the method, manner, time,
122  6 place, and other terms, must be commercially reasonable.  If
122  7 commercially reasonable, a secured party may dispose of
122  8 collateral by public or private proceedings, by one or more
122  9 contracts, as a unit or in parcels, and at any time and place
122 10 and on any terms.
122 11    3.  PURCHASE BY SECURED PARTY.  A secured party may
122 12 purchase collateral:
122 13    a.  at a public disposition; or
122 14    b.  at a private disposition only if the collateral is of a
122 15 kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the
122 16 subject of widely distributed standard price quotations.
122 17    4.  WARRANTIES ON DISPOSITION.  A contract for sale, lease,
122 18 license, or other disposition includes the warranties relating
122 19 to title, possession, quiet enjoyment, and the like which by
122 20 operation of law accompany a voluntary disposition of property
122 21 of the kind subject to the contract.
122 22    5.  DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.  A secured party may disclaim
122 23 or modify warranties under subsection 4:
122 24    a.  in a manner that would be effective to disclaim or
122 25 modify the warranties in a voluntary disposition of property
122 26 of the kind subject to the contract of disposition; or
122 27    b.  by communicating to the purchaser a record evidencing
122 28 the contract for disposition and including an express
122 29 disclaimer or modification of the warranties.
122 30    6.  RECORD SUFFICIENT TO DISCLAIM WARRANTIES.  A record is
122 31 sufficient to disclaim warranties under subsection 5 if it
122 32 indicates "There is no warranty relating to title, possession,
122 33 quiet enjoyment, or the like in this disposition" or uses
122 34 words of similar import.
122 35    Sec. 109.  NEW SECTION.  554.9611  NOTIFICATION BEFORE
123  1 DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL.
123  2    1.  NOTIFICATION DATE.  In this section, "notification
123  3 date" means the earlier of the date on which:
123  4    a.  a secured party sends to the debtor and any secondary
123  5 obligor an authenticated notification of disposition; or
123  6    b.  the debtor and any secondary obligor waive the right to
123  7 notification.
123  8    2.  NOTIFICATION OF DISPOSITION REQUIRED.  Except as
123  9 otherwise provided in subsection 4, a secured party that
123 10 disposes of collateral under section 554.9610 shall send to
123 11 the persons specified in subsection 3 a reasonable
123 12 authenticated notification of disposition.
123 13    3.  PERSONS TO BE NOTIFIED.  To comply with subsection 2,
123 14 the secured party shall send an authenticated notification of
123 15 disposition to:
123 16    a.  the debtor;
123 17    b.  any secondary obligor; and
123 18    c.  if the collateral is other than consumer goods:
123 19    (1)  any other person from which the secured party has
123 20 received, before the notification date, an authenticated
123 21 notification of a claim of an interest in the collateral;
123 22    (2)  any other secured party or lienholder that, ten days
123 23 before the notification date, held a security interest in or
123 24 other lien on the collateral perfected by the filing of a
123 25 financing statement that:
123 26    (a)  identified the collateral;
123 27    (b)  was indexed under the debtor's name as of that date;
123 28 and
123 29    (c)  was filed in the office in which to file a financing

123 31 that date; and
123 32    (3)  any other secured party that, ten days before the
123 33 notification date, held a security interest in the collateral
123 34 perfected by compliance with a statute, regulation, or treaty
123 35 described in section 554.9311, subsection 1.
124  1    4.  SUBSECTION 2 INAPPLICABLE – PERISHABLE COLLATERAL –
124  2 RECOGNIZED MARKET.  Subsection 2 does not apply if the
124  3 collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in
124  4 value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market.
124  5    5.  COMPLIANCE WITH SUBSECTION 3, PARAGRAPH "C",
124  6 SUBPARAGRAPH (2).  A secured party complies with the
124  7 requirement for notification prescribed by subsection 3,
124  8 paragraph "c", subparagraph (2), if:
124  9    a.  not later than twenty days or earlier than thirty days
124 10 before the notification date, the secured party requests, in a
124 11 commercially reasonable manner, information concerning
124 12 financing statements indexed under the debtor's name in the

124 14 (2); and
124 15    b.  before the notification date, the secured party:
124 16    (1)  did not receive a response to the request for
124 17 information; or
124 18    (2)  received a response to the request for information and
124 19 sent an authenticated notification of disposition to each
124 20 secured party or other lienholder named in that response whose
124 21 financing statement covered the collateral.
124 22    Sec. 110.  NEW SECTION.  554.9612  TIMELINESS OF
124 23 NOTIFICATION BEFORE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL.
124 24    1.  REASONABLE TIME IS QUESTION OF FACT.  Except as
124 25 otherwise provided in subsection 2, whether a notification is
124 26 sent within a reasonable time is a question of fact.
124 27    2.  TEN-DAY PERIOD SUFFICIENT IN NONCONSUMER TRANSACTION.
124 28 In a transaction other than a consumer transaction, a
124 29 notification of disposition sent after default and ten days or
124 30 more before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the
124 31 notification is sent within a reasonable time before the
124 32 disposition.
124 33    Sec. 111.  NEW SECTION.  554.9613  CONTENTS AND FORM OF
124 34 NOTIFICATION BEFORE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL – GENERAL.
124 35    Except in a consumer-goods transaction, the following rules
125  1 apply:
125  2    1.  The contents of a notification of disposition are
125  3 sufficient if the notification:
125  4    a.  describes the debtor and the secured party;
125  5    b.  describes the collateral that is the subject of the
125  6 intended disposition;
125  7    c.  states the method of intended disposition;
125  8    d.  states that the debtor is entitled to an accounting of
125  9 the unpaid indebtedness and states the charge, if any, for an
125 10 accounting; and
125 11    e.  states the time and place of a public disposition or
125 12 the time after which any other disposition is to be made.
125 13    2.  Whether the contents of a notification that lacks any
125 14 of the information specified in subsection 1 are nevertheless
125 15 sufficient is a question of fact.
125 16    3.  The contents of a notification providing substantially
125 17 the information specified in subsection 1 are sufficient, even
125 18 if the notification includes:
125 19    a.  information not specified by that subsection; or
125 20    b.  minor errors that are not seriously misleading.
125 21    4.  A particular phrasing of the notification is not
125 22 required.
125 23    5.  The following form of notification and the form
125 24 appearing in section 554.9614, subsection 3, when completed,
125 25 each provides sufficient information:

126 13    Sec. 112.  NEW SECTION.  554.9614  CONTENTS AND FORM OF
126 14 NOTIFICATION BEFORE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL – CONSUMER-
126 15 GOODS TRANSACTION.
126 16    In a consumer-goods transaction, the following rules apply:
126 17    1.  A notification of disposition must provide the
126 18 following information:
126 19    a.  the information specified in section 554.9613,
126 20 subsection 1;
126 21    b.  a description of any liability for a deficiency of the
126 22 person to which the notification is sent;
126 23    c.  a telephone number from which the amount that must be

126 26    d.  a telephone number or mailing address from which
126 27 additional information concerning the disposition and the
126 28 obligation secured is available.
126 29    2.  A particular phrasing of the notification is not
126 30 required.
126 31    3.  The following form of notification, when completed,
126 32 provides sufficient information:  
126 33 [name and address of secured party]
126 34 [date]
126 35               NOTICE OF OUR PLAN TO SELL PROPERTY
127  1 [name and address of any obligor who is also a debtor]
127  2 Subject: [identification of transaction]
127  3    We have your [describe collateral], because you broke
127  4 promises in our agreement.
127  5 [for a public disposition:]
127  6    We will sell [describe collateral] at public sale.  A sale
127  7 could include a lease or license.  The sale will be held as
127  8 follows:
127  9    Date:    _____________
127 10    Time:    _____________
127 11    Place:   _____________
127 12    You may attend the sale and bring bidders if you want.
127 13 [for a private disposition:]
127 14    We will sell [describe collateral] at private sale sometime
127 15 after [date].  A sale could include a lease or license.
127 16    The money that we get from the sale (after paying our costs) 
127 17 will reduce the amount you owe.  If we get less money than you
127 18 owe, you [will or will not, as applicable] still owe us the
127 19 difference.  If we get more money than you owe, you will get
127 20 the extra money, unless we must pay it to someone else.
127 21    You can get the property back at any time before we sell it
127 22 by paying us the full amount you owe (not just the past due
127 23 payments), including our expenses.  To learn the exact amount you
127 24 must pay, call us at [telephone number].
127 25    If you want us to explain to you in writing how we have
127 26 figured the amount that you owe us, you may call us at
127 27 [telephone number] [or write us at [secured party's address]]
127 28 and request a written explanation.  [We will charge you
127 29             for the explanation if we sent you another
127 30 written explanation of the amount you owe us within the
127 31 last six months.]
127 32    If you need more information about the sale call us at
127 33 [telephone number] [or write us at [secured party's address]].
127 34    We are sending this notice to the following other people who
127 35 have an interest in [describe collateral] or who owe money under
128  1 your agreement:
128  2 [names of all other debtors and obligors, if any]
128  3    4.  A notification in the form of subsection 3 is
128  4 sufficient, even if additional information appears at the end
128  5 of the form.
128  6    5.  A notification in the form of subsection 3 is
128  7 sufficient, even if it includes errors in information not
128  8 required by subsection 1, unless the error is misleading with
128  9 respect to rights arising under this Article.
128 10    6.  If a notification under this section is not in the form
128 11 of subsection 3, law other than this Article determines the
128 12 effect of including information not required by subsection 1.
128 13    Sec. 113.  NEW SECTION.  554.9615  APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
128 14 OF DISPOSITION – LIABILITY FOR DEFICIENCY AND RIGHT TO
128 15 SURPLUS.
128 16    1.  APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.  A secured party shall apply
128 17 or pay over for application the cash proceeds of disposition
128 18 under section 554.9610 in the following order to:
128 19    a.  the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing
128 20 for disposition, processing, and disposing, and, to the extent
128 21 provided for by agreement and not prohibited by law,
128 22 reasonable attorney's fees and legal expenses incurred by the
128 23 secured party;
128 24    b.  the satisfaction of obligations secured by the security
128 25 interest or agricultural lien under which the disposition is
128 26 made;
128 27    c.  the satisfaction of obligations secured by any
128 28 subordinate security interest in or other subordinate lien on
128 29 the collateral if:
128 30    (1)  the secured party receives from the holder of the
128 31 subordinate security interest or other lien an authenticated
128 32 demand for proceeds before distribution of the proceeds is
128 33 completed; and
128 34    (2)  in a case in which a consignor has an interest in the
128 35 collateral, the subordinate security interest or other lien is
129  1 senior to the interest of the consignor; and
129  2    d.  a secured party that is a consignor of the collateral
129  3 if the secured party receives from the consignor an
129  4 authenticated demand for proceeds before distribution of the
129  5 proceeds is completed.
129  6    2.  PROOF OF SUBORDINATE INTEREST.  If requested by a
129  7 secured party, a holder of a subordinate security interest or
129  8 other lien shall furnish reasonable proof of the interest or
129  9 lien within a reasonable time.  Unless the holder does so, the
129 10 secured party need not comply with the holder's demand under
129 11 subsection 1, paragraph "c".
129 12    3.  APPLICATION OF NONCASH PROCEEDS.  A secured party need
129 13 not apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of
129 14 disposition under section 554.9610 unless the failure to do so
129 15 would be commercially unreasonable.  A secured party that
129 16 applies or pays over for application noncash proceeds shall do
129 17 so in a commercially reasonable manner.
129 18    4.  SURPLUS OR DEFICIENCY IF OBLIGATION SECURED.  If the
129 19 security interest under which a disposition is made secures
129 20 payment or performance of an obligation, after making the
129 21 payments and applications required by subsection 1 and
129 22 permitted by subsection 3:
129 23    a.  unless subsection 1, paragraph "d", requires the
129 24 secured party to apply or pay over cash proceeds to a
129 25 consignor, the secured party shall account to and pay a debtor
129 26 for any surplus; and
129 27    b.  the obligor is liable for any deficiency.
129 28    5.  NO SURPLUS OR DEFICIENCY IN SALES OF CERTAIN RIGHTS TO
129 29 PAYMENT.  If the underlying transaction is a sale of accounts,
129 30 chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes:
129 31    a.  the debtor is not entitled to any surplus; and
129 32    b.  the obligor is not liable for any deficiency.
129 33    6.  CALCULATION OF SURPLUS OR DEFICIENCY IN DISPOSITION TO
129 34 PERSON RELATED TO SECURED PARTY.  The surplus or deficiency
129 35 following a disposition is calculated based on the amount of
130  1 proceeds that would have been realized in a disposition
130  2 complying with this part to a transferee other than the
130  3 secured party, a person related to the secured party, or a
130  4 secondary obligor if:
130  5    a.  the transferee in the disposition is the secured party,
130  6 a person related to the secured party, or a secondary obligor;
130  7 and
130  8    b.  the amount of proceeds of the disposition is
130  9 significantly below the range of proceeds that a complying
130 10 disposition to a person other than the secured party, a person
130 11 related to the secured party, or a secondary obligor would
130 12 have brought.
130 13    7.  CASH PROCEEDS RECEIVED BY JUNIOR SECURED PARTY.  A
130 14 secured party that receives cash proceeds of a disposition in
130 15 good faith and without knowledge that the receipt violates the
130 16 rights of the holder of a security interest or other lien that
130 17 is not subordinate to the security interest or agricultural
130 18 lien under which the disposition is made:
130 19    a.  takes the cash proceeds free of the security interest
130 20 or other lien;
130 21    b.  is not obligated to apply the proceeds of the
130 22 disposition to the satisfaction of obligations secured by the
130 23 security interest or other lien; and
130 24    c.  is not obligated to account to or pay the holder of the
130 25 security interest or other lien for any surplus.
130 26    Sec. 114.  NEW SECTION.  554.9616  EXPLANATION OF
130 27 CALCULATION OF SURPLUS OR DEFICIENCY.
130 28    1.  DEFINITIONS.  In this section:
130 29    a.  "Explanation" means a writing that:
130 30    (1)  states the amount of the surplus or deficiency;
130 31    (2)  provides an explanation in accordance with subsection
130 32 3 of how the secured party calculated the surplus or
130 33 deficiency;
130 34    (3)  states, if applicable, that future debits, credits,
130 35 charges, including additional credit service charges or
131  1 interest, rebates, and expenses may affect the amount of the
131  2 surplus or deficiency; and
131  3    (4)  provides a telephone number or mailing address from
131  4 which additional information concerning the transaction is
131  5 available.
131  6    b.  "Request" means a record:
131  7    (1)  authenticated by a debtor or consumer obligor;
131  8    (2)  requesting that the recipient provide an explanation;
131  9 and
131 10    (3)  sent after disposition of the collateral under section
131 11 554.9610.
131 12    2.  EXPLANATION OF CALCULATION.  In a consumer-goods
131 13 transaction in which the debtor is entitled to a surplus or a
131 14 consumer obligor is liable for a deficiency under section
131 15 554.9615, the secured party shall:
131 16    a.  send an explanation to the debtor or consumer obligor,
131 17 as applicable, after the disposition and:
131 18    (1)  before or when the secured party accounts to the
131 19 debtor and pays any surplus or first makes written demand on
131 20 the consumer obligor after the disposition for payment of the
131 21 deficiency; and
131 22    (2)  within fourteen days after receipt of a request; or
131 23    b.  in the case of a consumer obligor who is liable for a
131 24 deficiency, within fourteen days after receipt of a request,
131 25 send to the consumer obligor a record waiving the secured
131 26 party's right to a deficiency.
131 27    3.  REQUIRED INFORMATION.  To comply with subsection 1,
131 28 paragraph "a", subparagraph (2), a writing must provide the
131 29 following information in the following order:
131 30    a.  the aggregate amount of obligations secured by the
131 31 security interest under which the disposition was made, and,
131 32 if the amount reflects a rebate of unearned interest or credit
131 33 service charge, an indication of that fact, calculated as of a
131 34 specified date:
131 35    (1)  if the secured party takes or receives possession of
132  1 the collateral after default, not more than thirty-five days
132  2 before the secured party takes or receives possession; or
132  3    (2)  if the secured party takes or receives possession of
132  4 the collateral before default or does not take possession of
132  5 the collateral, not more than thirty-five days before the
132  6 disposition;
132  7    b.  the amount of proceeds of the disposition;
132  8    c.  the aggregate amount of the obligations after deducting
132  9 the amount of proceeds;
132 10    d.  the amount, in the aggregate or by type, and types of
132 11 expenses, including expenses of retaking, holding, preparing
132 12 for disposition, processing, and disposing of the collateral,
132 13 and attorney's fees secured by the collateral which are known
132 14 to the secured party and relate to the current disposition;
132 15    e.  the amount, in the aggregate or by type, and types of
132 16 credits, including rebates of interest or credit service
132 17 charges, to which the obligor is known to be entitled and
132 18 which are not reflected in the amount in paragraph "a"; and
132 19    f.  the amount of the surplus or deficiency.
132 20    4.  SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE.  A particular phrasing of the
132 21 explanation is not required.  An explanation complying
132 22 substantially with the requirements of subsection 1 is
132 23 sufficient, even if it includes minor errors that are not
132 24 seriously misleading.
132 25    5.  CHARGES FOR RESPONSES.  A debtor or consumer obligor is
132 26 entitled without charge to one response to a request under
132 27 this section during any six-month period in which the secured
132 28 party did not send to the debtor or consumer obligor an
132 29 explanation pursuant to subsection 2, paragraph "a".  The
132 30 secured party may require payment of a charge not exceeding
132 31 twenty-five dollars for each additional response.
132 32    Sec. 115.  NEW SECTION.  554.9617  RIGHTS OF TRANSFEREE OF
132 33 COLLATERAL.
132 34    1.  EFFECTS OF DISPOSITION.  A secured party's disposition
132 35 of collateral after default:
133  1    a.  transfers to a transferee for value all of the debtor's
133  2 rights in the collateral;
133  3    b.  discharges the security interest under which the
133  4 disposition is made; and
133  5    c.  discharges any subordinate security interest or other
133  6 subordinate lien.
133  7    2.  RIGHTS OF GOOD-FAITH TRANSFEREE.  A transferee that
133  8 acts in good faith takes free of the rights and interests
133  9 described in subsection 1, even if the secured party fails to
133 10 comply with this Article or the requirements of any judicial
133 11 proceeding.
133 12    3.  RIGHTS OF OTHER TRANSFEREE.  If a transferee does not
133 13 take free of the rights and interests described in subsection
133 14 1, the transferee takes the collateral subject to:
133 15    a.  the debtor's rights in the collateral;
133 16    b.  the security interest or agricultural lien under which
133 17 the disposition is made; and
133 18    c.  any other security interest or other lien.
133 19    Sec. 116.  NEW SECTION.  554.9618  RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF
133 20 CERTAIN SECONDARY OBLIGORS.
133 21    1.  RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF SECONDARY OBLIGOR.  A secondary
133 22 obligor acquires the rights and becomes obligated to perform
133 23 the duties of the secured party after the secondary obligor:
133 24    a.  receives an assignment of a secured obligation from the
133 25 secured party;
133 26    b.  receives a transfer of collateral from the secured
133 27 party and agrees to accept the rights and assume the duties of
133 28 the secured party; or
133 29    c.  is subrogated to the rights of a secured party with
133 30 respect to collateral.
133 31    2.  EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, OR SUBROGATION.  An
133 32 assignment, transfer, or subrogation described in subsection
133 33 1:
133 34    a.  is not a disposition of collateral under section
133 35 554.9610; and
134  1    b.  relieves the secured party of further duties under this
134  2 Article.
134  3    Sec. 117.  NEW SECTION.  554.9619  TRANSFER OF RECORD OR
134  4 LEGAL TITLE.
134  5    1.  TRANSFER STATEMENT.  In this section, "transfer
134  6 statement" means a record authenticated by a secured party
134  7 stating:
134  8    a.  that the debtor has defaulted in connection with an
134  9 obligation secured by specified collateral;
134 10    b.  that the secured party has exercised its post-default
134 11 remedies with respect to the collateral;
134 12    c.  that, by reason of the exercise, a transferee has
134 13 acquired the rights of the debtor in the collateral; and
134 14    d.  the name and mailing address of the secured party,
134 15 debtor, and transferee.
134 16    2.  EFFECT OF TRANSFER STATEMENT.  A transfer statement
134 17 entitles the transferee to the transfer of record of all
134 18 rights of the debtor in the collateral specified in the
134 19 statement in any official filing, recording, registration, or
134 20 certificate-of-title system covering the collateral.  If a
134 21 transfer statement is presented with the applicable fee and
134 22 request form to the official or office responsible for
134 23 maintaining the system, the official or office shall:
134 24    a.  accept the transfer statement;
134 25    b.  promptly amend its records to reflect the transfer; and
134 26    c.  if applicable, issue a new appropriate certificate of
134 27 title in the name of the transferee.
134 28    3.  TRANSFER NOT A DISPOSITION – NO RELIEF OF SECURED
134 29 PARTY'S DUTIES.  A transfer of the record or legal title to
134 30 collateral to a secured party under subsection 2 or otherwise
134 31 is not of itself a disposition of collateral under this
134 32 Article and does not of itself relieve the secured party of
134 33 its duties under this Article.
134 34    Sec. 118.  NEW SECTION.  554.9620  ACCEPTANCE OF COLLATERAL
134 35 IN FULL OR PARTIAL SATISFACTION OF OBLIGATION – COMPULSORY
135  1 DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL.
135  2    1.  CONDITIONS TO ACCEPTANCE IN SATISFACTION.  Except as
135  3 otherwise provided in subsection 7, a secured party may accept
135  4 collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the obligation
135  5 it secures only if:
135  6    a.  the debtor consents to the acceptance under subsection
135  7 3;
135  8    b.  the secured party does not receive, within the time set
135  9 forth in subsection 4, a notification of objection to the
135 10 proposal authenticated by:
135 11    (1)  a person to which the secured party was required to
135 12 send a proposal under section 554.9621; or
135 13    (2)  any other person, other than the debtor, holding an
135 14 interest in the collateral subordinate to the security
135 15 interest that is the subject of the proposal;
135 16    c.  if the collateral is consumer goods, the collateral is
135 17 not in the possession of the debtor when the debtor consents
135 18 to the acceptance; and
135 19    d.  subsection 5 does not require the secured party to
135 20 dispose of the collateral or the debtor waives the requirement
135 21 pursuant to section 554.9624.
135 22    2.  PURPORTED ACCEPTANCE INEFFECTIVE.  A purported or
135 23 apparent acceptance of collateral under this section is
135 24 ineffective unless:
135 25    a.  the secured party consents to the acceptance in an
135 26 authenticated record or sends a proposal to the debtor; and
135 27    b.  the conditions of subsection 1 are met.
135 28    3.  DEBTOR'S CONSENT.  For purposes of this section:
135 29    a.  a debtor consents to an acceptance of collateral in
135 30 partial satisfaction of the obligation it secures only if the
135 31 debtor agrees to the terms of the acceptance in a record
135 32 authenticated after default; and
135 33    b.  a debtor consents to an acceptance of collateral in
135 34 full satisfaction of the obligation it secures only if the
135 35 debtor agrees to the terms of the acceptance in a record
136  1 authenticated after default or the secured party:
136  2    (1)  sends to the debtor after default a proposal that is
136  3 unconditional or subject only to a condition that collateral
136  4 not in the possession of the secured party be preserved or
136  5 maintained;
136  6    (2)  in the proposal, proposes to accept collateral in full
136  7 satisfaction of the obligation it secures; and
136  8    (3)  does not receive a notification of objection
136  9 authenticated by the debtor within twenty days after the
136 10 proposal is sent.
136 11    4.  EFFECTIVENESS OF NOTIFICATION.  To be effective under
136 12 subsection 1, paragraph "b", a notification of objection must
136 13 be received by the secured party:
136 14    a.  in the case of a person to which the proposal was sent
136 15 pursuant to section 554.9621, within twenty days after
136 16 notification was sent to that person; and
136 17    b.  in other cases:
136 18    (1)  within twenty days after the last notification was
136 19 sent pursuant to section 554.9621; or
136 20    (2)  if a notification was not sent, before the debtor
136 21 consents to the acceptance under subsection 3.
136 22    5.  MANDATORY DISPOSITION OF CONSUMER GOODS.  A secured
136 23 party that has taken possession of collateral shall dispose of
136 24 the collateral pursuant to section 554.9610 within the time
136 25 specified in subsection 6 if:
136 26    a.  sixty percent of the cash price has been paid in the
136 27 case of a purchase-money security interest in consumer goods;
136 28 or
136 29    b.  sixty percent of the principal amount of the obligation
136 30 secured has been paid in the case of a non-purchase-money
136 31 security interest in consumer goods.
136 32    6.  COMPLIANCE WITH MANDATORY DISPOSITION REQUIREMENT.  To
136 33 comply with subsection 5, the secured party shall dispose of
136 34 the collateral:
136 35    a.  within ninety days after taking possession; or
137  1    b.  within any longer period to which the debtor and all
137  2 secondary obligors have agreed in an agreement to that effect
137  3 entered into and authenticated after default.
137  4    7.  NO PARTIAL SATISFACTION IN CONSUMER TRANSACTION.  In a
137  5 consumer transaction, a secured party may not accept
137  6 collateral in partial satisfaction of the obligation it
137  7 secures.
137  8    Sec. 119.  NEW SECTION.  554.9621  NOTIFICATION OF PROPOSAL
137  9 TO ACCEPT COLLATERAL.
137 10    1.  PERSONS TO WHICH PROPOSAL TO BE SENT.  A secured party
137 11 that desires to accept collateral in full or partial
137 12 satisfaction of the obligation it secures shall send its
137 13 proposal to:
137 14    a.  any person from which the secured party has received,
137 15 before the debtor consented to the acceptance, an
137 16 authenticated notification of a claim of an interest in the
137 17 collateral;
137 18    b.  any other secured party or lienholder that, ten days
137 19 before the debtor consented to the acceptance, held a security
137 20 interest in or other lien on the collateral perfected by the
137 21 filing of a financing statement that:
137 22    (1)  identified the collateral;
137 23    (2)  was indexed under the debtor's name as of that date;
137 24 and
137 25    (3)  was filed in the office or offices in which to file a
137 26 financing statement against the debtor covering the collateral
137 27 as of that date; and
137 28    c.  any other secured party that, ten days before the
137 29 debtor consented to the acceptance, held a security interest
137 30 in the collateral perfected by compliance with a statute,
137 31 regulation, or treaty described in section 554.9311,
137 32 subsection 1.
137 33    2.  PROPOSAL TO BE SENT TO SECONDARY OBLIGOR IN PARTIAL
137 34 SATISFACTION.  A secured party that desires to accept
137 35 collateral in partial satisfaction of the obligation it
138  1 secures shall send its proposal to any secondary obligor in
138  2 addition to the persons described in subsection 1.
138  3    Sec. 120.  NEW SECTION.  554.9622  EFFECT OF ACCEPTANCE OF
138  4 COLLATERAL.
138  5    1.  EFFECT OF ACCEPTANCE.  A secured party's acceptance of
138  6 collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the obligation
138  7 it secures:
138  8    a.  discharges the obligation to the extent consented to by
138  9 the debtor;
138 10    b.  transfers to the secured party all of a debtor's rights
138 11 in the collateral;
138 12    c.  discharges the security interest or agricultural lien
138 13 that is the subject of the debtor's consent and any
138 14 subordinate security interest or other subordinate lien; and
138 15    d.  terminates any other subordinate interest.
138 16    2.  DISCHARGE OF SUBORDINATE INTEREST NOTWITHSTANDING
138 17 NONCOMPLIANCE.  A subordinate interest is discharged or
138 18 terminated under subsection 1, even if the secured party fails
138 19 to comply with this Article.
138 20    Sec. 121.  NEW SECTION.  554.9623  RIGHT TO REDEEM
138 21 COLLATERAL.
138 22    1.  PERSONS THAT MAY REDEEM.  A debtor, any secondary
138 23 obligor, or any other secured party or lienholder may redeem
138 24 collateral.
138 25    2.  REQUIREMENTS FOR REDEMPTION.  To redeem collateral, a
138 26 person shall tender:
138 27    a.  fulfillment of all obligations secured by the
138 28 collateral; and
138 29    b.  the reasonable expenses and attorney's fees described
138 30 in section 554.9615, subsection 1, paragraph "a".
138 31    3.  WHEN REDEMPTION MAY OCCUR.  A redemption may occur at
138 32 any time before a secured party:
138 33    a.  has collected collateral under section 554.9607;
138 34    b.  has disposed of collateral or entered into a contract
138 35 for its disposition under section 554.9610; or
139  1    c.  has accepted collateral in full or partial satisfaction
139  2 of the obligation it secures under section 554.9622.
139  3    Sec. 122.  NEW SECTION.  554.9624  WAIVER.
139  4    1.  WAIVER OF DISPOSITION NOTIFICATION.  A debtor or
139  5 secondary obligor may waive the right to notification of
139  6 disposition of collateral under section 554.9611 only by an
139  7 agreement to that effect entered into and authenticated after
139  8 default.
139  9    2.  WAIVER OF MANDATORY DISPOSITION.  A debtor may waive
139 10 the right to require disposition of collateral under section
139 11 554.9620, subsection 5, only by an agreement to that effect
139 12 entered into and authenticated after default.
139 13    3.  WAIVER OF REDEMPTION RIGHT.  Except in a consumer-goods
139 14 transaction, a debtor or secondary obligor may waive the right
139 15 to redeem collateral under section 554.9623 only by an
139 16 agreement to that effect entered into and authenticated after
139 17 default.  
139 18                 B.  NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ARTICLE
139 19    Sec. 123.  NEW SECTION.  554.9625  REMEDIES FOR SECURED
139 20 PARTY'S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ARTICLE.
139 21    1.  JUDICIAL ORDERS CONCERNING NONCOMPLIANCE.  If it is
139 22 established that a secured party is not proceeding in
139 23 accordance with this Article, a court may order or restrain
139 24 collection, enforcement, or disposition of collateral on
139 25 appropriate terms and conditions.
139 26    2.  DAMAGES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE.  Subject to subsections 3,
139 27 4, and 6, a person is liable for damages in the amount of any
139 28 loss caused by a failure to comply with this Article.  Loss
139 29 caused by a failure to comply may include loss resulting from
139 30 the debtor's inability to obtain, or increased costs of,
139 31 alternative financing.
139 32    3.  PERSONS ENTITLED TO RECOVER DAMAGES – STATUTORY
139 33 DAMAGES IN CONSUMER-GOODS TRANSACTION.  Except as otherwise
139 34 provided in section 554.9628:
139 35    a.  a person that, at the time of the failure, was a
140  1 debtor, was an obligor, or held a security interest in or
140  2 other lien on the collateral may recover damages under
140  3 subsection 2 for its loss; and
140  4    b.  if the collateral is consumer goods, a person that was
140  5 a debtor or a secondary obligor at the time a secured party
140  6 failed to comply with this part may recover for that failure
140  7 in any event an amount not less than the credit service charge
140  8 plus ten percent of the principal amount of the obligation or
140  9 the time-price differential plus ten percent of the cash
140 10 price.
140 11    4.  RECOVERY WHEN DEFICIENCY ELIMINATED OR REDUCED.  A
140 12 debtor whose deficiency is eliminated under section 554.9626
140 13 may recover damages for the loss of any surplus.  However, a
140 14 debtor or secondary obligor whose deficiency is eliminated or
140 15 reduced under section 554.9626 may not otherwise recover under
140 16 subsection 2 for noncompliance with the provisions of this
140 17 part relating to collection, enforcement, disposition, or
140 18 acceptance.
140 19    5.  STATUTORY DAMAGES – NONCOMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIED
140 20 PROVISIONS.  In addition to any damages recoverable under
140 21 subsection 2, the debtor, consumer obligor, or person named as
140 22 a debtor in a filed record, as applicable, may recover five
140 23 hundred dollars in each case from a person that:
140 24    a.  fails to comply with section 554.9208;
140 25    b.  fails to comply with section 554.9209;
140 26    c.  files a record that the person is not entitled to file
140 27 under section 554.9509, subsection 1;
140 28    d.  fails to cause the secured party of record to file or
140 29 send a termination statement as required by section 554.9513,
140 30 subsection 1 or 3;
140 31    e.  fails to comply with section 554.9616, subsection 2,
140 32 paragraph "a", and whose failure is part of a pattern, or
140 33 consistent with a practice, of noncompliance; or
140 34    f.  fails to comply with section 554.9616, subsection 2,
140 35 paragraph "b".
141  1    6.  STATUTORY DAMAGES – NONCOMPLIANCE WITH SECTION
141  2 554.9210.  A debtor or consumer obligor may recover damages
141  3 under subsection 2 and, in addition, five hundred dollars in
141  4 each case from a person that, without reasonable cause, fails
141  5 to comply with a request under section 554.9210.  A recipient
141  6 of a request under section 554.9210 which never claimed an
141  7 interest in the collateral or obligations that are the subject
141  8 of a request under that section has a reasonable excuse for
141  9 failure to comply with the request within the meaning of this
141 10 subsection.
141 11    7.  LIMITATION OF SECURITY INTEREST – NONCOMPLIANCE WITH
141 12 SECTION 554.9210.  If a secured party fails to comply with a
141 13 request regarding a list of collateral or a statement of
141 14 account under section 554.9210, the secured party may claim a
141 15 security interest only as shown in the list or statement
141 16 included in the request as against a person that is reasonably
141 17 misled by the failure.
141 18    Sec. 124.  NEW SECTION.  554.9626  ACTION IN WHICH
141 19 DEFICIENCY OR SURPLUS IS IN ISSUE.
141 20    1.  APPLICABLE RULES IF AMOUNT OF DEFICIENCY OR SURPLUS IN
141 21 ISSUE.  In an action arising from a transaction, other than a
141 22 consumer transaction, in which the amount of a deficiency or
141 23 surplus is in issue, the following rules apply:
141 24    a.  a secured party need not prove compliance with the
141 25 provisions of this part relating to collection, enforcement,
141 26 disposition, or acceptance unless the debtor or a secondary
141 27 obligor places the secured party's compliance in issue.
141 28    b.  if the secured party's compliance is placed in issue,
141 29 the secured party has the burden of establishing that the
141 30 collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance was
141 31 conducted in accordance with this part.
141 32    c.  except as otherwise provided in section 554.9628, if a
141 33 secured party fails to prove that the collection, enforcement,
141 34 disposition, or acceptance was conducted in accordance with
141 35 the provisions of this part relating to collection,
142  1 enforcement, disposition, or acceptance, the liability of a
142  2 debtor or a secondary obligor for a deficiency is limited to
142  3 an amount by which the sum of the secured obligation,
142  4 expenses, and attorney's fees exceeds the greater of:
142  5    (1)  the proceeds of the collection, enforcement,
142  6 disposition, or acceptance; or
142  7    (2)  the amount of proceeds that would have been realized
142  8 had the noncomplying secured party proceeded in accordance
142  9 with the provisions of this part relating to collection,
142 10 enforcement, disposition, or acceptance.
142 11    d.  for purposes of paragraph "c", subparagraph (2), the
142 12 amount of proceeds that would have been realized is equal to
142 13 the sum of the secured obligation, expenses, and attorney's
142 14 fees unless the secured party proves that the amount is less
142 15 than that sum.
142 16    e.  if a deficiency or surplus is calculated under section
142 17 554.9615, subsection 6, the debtor or obligor has the burden
142 18 of establishing that the amount of proceeds of the disposition
142 19 is significantly below the range of prices that a complying
142 20 disposition to a person other than the secured party, a person
142 21 related to the secured party, or a secondary obligor would
142 22 have brought.
142 23    2.  NONCONSUMER TRANSACTIONS – NO INFERENCE.  The
142 24 limitation of the rules in subsection 1 to transactions other
142 25 than consumer transactions is intended to leave to the court
142 26 the determination of the proper rules in consumer
142 27 transactions.  The court may not infer from that limitation
142 28 the nature of the proper rule in consumer transactions and may
142 29 continue to apply established approaches.
142 30    Sec. 125.  NEW SECTION.  554.9627  DETERMINATION OF WHETHER
142 31 CONDUCT WAS COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE.
142 32    1.  GREATER AMOUNT OBTAINABLE UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES –
142 33 NO PRECLUSION OF COMMERCIAL REASONABLENESS.  The fact that a
142 34 greater amount could have been obtained by a collection,
142 35 enforcement, disposition, or acceptance at a different time or
143  1 in a different method from that selected by the secured party
143  2 is not of itself sufficient to preclude the secured party from
143  3 establishing that the collection, enforcement, disposition, or
143  4 acceptance was made in a commercially reasonable manner.
143  5    2.  DISPOSITIONS THAT ARE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE.  A
143  6 disposition of collateral is made in a commercially reasonable
143  7 manner if the disposition is made:
143  8    a.  in the usual manner on any recognized market;
143  9    b.  at the price current in any recognized market at the
143 10 time of the disposition; or
143 11    c.  otherwise in conformity with reasonable commercial
143 12 practices among dealers in the type of property that was the
143 13 subject of the disposition.
143 14    3.  APPROVAL BY COURT OR ON BEHALF OF CREDITORS.  A
143 15 collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is
143 16 commercially reasonable if it has been approved:
143 17    a.  in a judicial proceeding;
143 18    b.  by a bona fide creditors' committee;
143 19    c.  by a representative of creditors; or
143 20    d.  by an assignee for the benefit of creditors.
143 21    4.  APPROVAL UNDER SUBSECTION 3 NOT NECESSARY – ABSENCE OF
143 22 APPROVAL HAS NO EFFECT.  Approval under subsection 3 need not
143 23 be obtained, and lack of approval does not mean that the
143 24 collection, enforcement, disposition, or acceptance is not
143 25 commercially reasonable.
143 26    Sec. 126.  NEW SECTION.  554.9628  NONLIABILITY AND
143 27 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SECURED PARTY – LIABILITY OF
143 28 SECONDARY OBLIGOR.
143 29    1.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF SECURED PARTY FOR
143 30 NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ARTICLE.  Unless a secured party knows that
143 31 a person is a debtor or obligor, knows the identity of the
143 32 person, and knows how to communicate with the person:
143 33    a.  the secured party is not liable to the person, or to a
143 34 secured party or lienholder that has filed a financing
143 35 statement against the person, for failure to comply with this
144  1 Article; and
144  2    b.  the secured party's failure to comply with this Article
144  3 does not affect the liability of the person for a deficiency.
144  4    2.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY BASED ON STATUS AS SECURED
144  5 PARTY.  A secured party is not liable because of its status as
144  6 secured party:
144  7    a.  to a person that is a debtor or obligor, unless the
144  8 secured party knows:
144  9    (1)  that the person is a debtor or obligor;
144 10    (2)  the identity of the person; and
144 11    (3)  how to communicate with the person; or
144 12    b.  to a secured party or lienholder that has filed a
144 13 financing statement against a person, unless the secured party
144 14 knows:
144 15    (1)  that the person is a debtor; and
144 16    (2)  the identity of the person.
144 17    3.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IF REASONABLE BELIEF THAT
144 18 TRANSACTION NOT A CONSUMER-GOODS TRANSACTION OR CONSUMER
144 19 TRANSACTION.  A secured party is not liable to any person, and
144 20 a person's liability for a deficiency is not affected, because
144 21 of any act or omission arising out of the secured party's
144 22 reasonable belief that a transaction is not a consumer-goods
144 23 transaction or a consumer transaction or that goods are not
144 24 consumer goods, if the secured party's belief is based on its
144 25 reasonable reliance on:
144 26    a.  a debtor's representation concerning the purpose for
144 27 which collateral was to be used, acquired, or held; or
144 28    b.  an obligor's representation concerning the purpose for
144 29 which a secured obligation was incurred.
144 30    4.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR STATUTORY DAMAGES.  A
144 31 secured party is not liable to any person under section
144 32 554.9625, subsection 3, paragraph "b", for its failure to

145  6    This Article takes effect on July 1, 2001.
145  7    Sec. 128.  NEW SECTION.  554.9702  SAVINGS CLAUSE.
145  8    1.  PRE-EFFECTIVE-DATE TRANSACTIONS OR LIENS.  Except as
145  9 otherwise provided in this part, this Act applies to a
145 10 transaction or lien within its scope, even if the transaction
145 11 or lien was entered into or created before this Act takes
145 12 effect.
145 13    2.  CONTINUING VALIDITY.  Except as otherwise provided in
145 14 subsection 3 and sections 554.9703, 554.9704, 554.9705,
145 15 554.9706, 554.9707, 554.9708, and 554.9709:
145 16    a.  transactions and liens that were not governed by former
145 17 Article 9, were validly entered into or created before this
145 18 Act takes effect, and would be subject to this Act if they had
145 19 been entered into or created after this Act takes effect, and
145 20 the rights, duties, and interests flowing from those
145 21 transactions and liens remain valid after this Act takes
145 22 effect; and
145 23    b.  the transactions and liens may be terminated,
145 24 completed, consummated, and enforced as required or permitted
145 25 by this Act or by the law that otherwise would apply if this
145 26 Act had not taken effect.
145 27    3.  PRE-EFFECTIVE-DATE PROCEEDINGS.  This Act does not
145 28 affect an action, case, or proceeding commenced before this
145 29 Act takes effect.
145 30    Sec. 129.  NEW SECTION.  554.9703  SECURITY INTEREST
145 31 PERFECTED BEFORE EFFECTIVE DATE.
145 32    1.  CONTINUING PRIORITY OVER LIEN CREDITOR – PERFECTION
145 33 REQUIREMENTS SATISFIED.  A security interest that is
145 34 enforceable immediately before this Act takes effect and would
145 35 have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien
146  1 creditor at that time is a perfected security interest under
146  2 this Act if, when this Act takes effect, the applicable
146  3 requirements for enforceability and perfection under this Act
146  4 are satisfied without further action.
146  5    2.  CONTINUING PRIORITY OVER LIEN CREDITOR – PERFECTION
146  6 REQUIREMENTS NOT SATISFIED.  Except as otherwise provided in
146  7 section 554.9705, if, immediately before this Act takes
146  8 effect, a security interest is enforceable and would have
146  9 priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien
146 10 creditor at that time, but the applicable requirements for
146 11 enforceability or perfection under this Act are not satisfied
146 12 when this Act takes effect, the security interest:
146 13    a.  is a perfected security interest for one year after
146 14 this Act takes effect;
146 15    b.  remains enforceable thereafter only if the security
146 16 interest becomes enforceable under section 554.9203 before the
146 17 year expires; and
146 18    c.  remains perfected thereafter only if the applicable
146 19 requirements for perfection under this Act are satisfied
146 20 before the year expires.
146 21    Sec. 130.  NEW SECTION.  554.9704  SECURITY INTEREST
146 22 UNPERFECTED BEFORE EFFECTIVE DATE.
146 23    A security interest that is enforceable immediately before
146 24 this Act takes effect but which would be subordinate to the
146 25 rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time:
146 26    1.  remains an enforceable security interest for one year
146 27 after this Act takes effect;
146 28    2.  remains enforceable thereafter if the security interest
146 29 becomes enforceable under section 554.9203 when this Act takes
146 30 effect or within one year thereafter; and
146 31    3.  becomes perfected:
146 32    a.  without further action, when this Act takes effect if
146 33 the applicable requirements for perfection under this Act are
146 34 satisfied before or at that time; or
146 35    b.  when the applicable requirements for perfection are
147  1 satisfied if the requirements are satisfied after that time.
147  2    Sec. 131.  NEW SECTION.  554.9705  EFFECTIVENESS OF ACTION
147  3 TAKEN BEFORE EFFECTIVE DATE.
147  4    1.  PRE-EFFECTIVE-DATE ACTION – ONE-YEAR PERFECTION PERIOD
147  5 UNLESS REPERFECTED.  If action, other than the filing of a
147  6 financing statement, is taken before this Act takes effect and
147  7 the action would have resulted in priority of a security
147  8 interest over the rights of a person that becomes a lien
147  9 creditor had the security interest become enforceable before
147 10 this Act takes effect, the action is effective to perfect a
147 11 security interest that attaches under this Act within one year
147 12 after this Act takes effect.  An attached security interest
147 13 becomes unperfected one year after this Act takes effect
147 14 unless the security interest becomes a perfected security
147 15 interest under this Act before the expiration of that period.
147 16    2.  PRE-EFFECTIVE-DATE FILING.  The filing of a financing
147 17 statement before this Act takes effect is effective to perfect
147 18 a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the
147 19 applicable requirements for perfection under this Act.
147 20    3.  PRE-EFFECTIVE-DATE FILING IN JURISDICTION FORMERLY
147 21 GOVERNING PERFECTION.  This Act does not render ineffective an
147 22 effective financing statement that, before this Act takes
147 23 effect, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for
147 24 perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing
147 25 perfection as provided in former section 554.9103.  However,
147 26 except as otherwise provided in subsections 4 and 5 and
147 27 section 554.9706, the financing statement ceases to be
147 28 effective at the earlier of:
147 29    a.  the time the financing statement would have ceased to
147 30 be effective under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is
147 31 filed; or
147 32    b.  June 30, 2006.
147 33    4.  CONTINUATION STATEMENT.  The filing of a continuation
147 34 statement after this Act takes effect does not continue the
147 35 effectiveness of the financing statement filed before this Act
148  1 takes effect.  However, upon the timely filing of a
148  2 continuation statement after this Act takes effect and in
148  3 accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing
148  4 perfection as provided in part 3, the effectiveness of a
148  5 financing statement filed in the same office in that
148  6 jurisdiction before this Act takes effect continues for the
148  7 period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
148  8    5.  APPLICATION OF SUBSECTION 3, PARAGRAPH "b", TO
148  9 TRANSMITTING UTILITY FINANCING STATEMENT.  Subsection 3,
148 10 paragraph "b", applies to a financing statement that, before
148 11 this Act takes effect, is filed against a transmitting utility
148 12 and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under
148 13 the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided
148 14 in former section 554.9103 only to the extent that part 3
148 15 provides that the law of a jurisdiction other than the
148 16 jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed governs
148 17 perfection of a security interest in collateral covered by the
148 18 financing statement.
148 19    6.  APPLICATION OF PART 5.  A financing statement that
148 20 includes a financing statement filed before this Act takes
148 21 effect and a continuation statement filed after this Act takes
148 22 effect is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the
148 23 requirements of part 5 for an initial financing statement.
148 24    Sec. 132.  NEW SECTION.  554.9706  WHEN INITIAL FINANCING
148 25 STATEMENT SUFFICES TO CONTINUE EFFECTIVENESS OF FINANCING
148 26 STATEMENT.
148 27    1.  INITIAL FINANCING STATEMENT IN LIEU OF CONTINUATION
148 28 STATEMENT.  The filing of an initial financing statement in
148 29 the office specified in section 554.9501 continues the
148 30 effectiveness of a financing statement filed before this Act
148 31 takes effect if:
148 32    a.  the filing of an initial financing statement in that
148 33 office would be effective to perfect a security interest under
148 34 this Act;
148 35    b.  the pre-effective-date financing statement was filed in
149  1 an office in another state or another office in this state;
149  2 and
149  3    c.  the initial financing statement satisfies subsection 3.
149  4    2.  PERIOD OF CONTINUED EFFECTIVENESS.  The filing of an
149  5 initial financing statement under subsection 1 continues the
149  6 effectiveness of the pre-effective-date financing statement:
149  7    a.  if the initial financing statement is filed before this
149  8 Act takes effect, for the period provided in former section
149  9 554.9403 with respect to a financing statement; and
149 10    b.  if the initial financing statement is filed after this
149 11 Act takes effect, for the period provided in section 554.9515
149 12 with respect to an initial financing statement.
149 13    3.  REQUIREMENTS FOR INITIAL FINANCING STATEMENT UNDER
149 14 SUBSECTION 1.  To be effective for purposes of subsection 1,
149 15 an initial financing statement must:
149 16    a.  satisfy the requirements of part 5 for an initial
149 17 financing statement;
149 18    b.  identify the pre-effective-date financing statement by
149 19 indicating the office in which the financing statement was
149 20 filed and providing the dates of filing and file numbers, if
149 21 any, of the financing statement and of the most recent
149 22 continuation statement filed with respect to the financing
149 23 statement; and
149 24    c.  indicate that the pre-effective-date financing
149 25 statement remains effective.
149 26    Sec. 133.  NEW SECTION.  554.9707  AMENDMENT OF PRE-
149 27 EFFECTIVE-DATE FINANCING STATEMENT.
149 28    1.  PRE-EFFECTIVE-DATE FINANCING STATEMENT.  In this
149 29 section, "pre-effective-date financing statement" means a
149 30 financing statement filed before this Act takes effect.
149 31    2.  APPLICABLE LAW.  After this Act takes effect, a person
149 32 may add or delete collateral covered by, continue or terminate
149 33 the effectiveness of, or otherwise amend the information
149 34 provided in, a pre-effective-date financing statement only in
149 35 accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing
150  1 perfection as provided in part 3.  However, the effectiveness
150  2 of pre-effective-date financing statement also may be
150  3 terminated in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction in
150  4 which the financing statement is filed.
150  5    3.  METHOD OF AMENDING – GENERAL RULE.  Except as
150  6 otherwise provided in subsection 4, if the law of this state
150  7 governs perfection of a security interest, the information in
150  8 a pre-effective-date financing statement may be amended after
150  9 this Act takes effect only if:
150 10    a.  The pre-effective-date financing statement and an
150 11 amendment are filed in the office specified in section
150 12 554.9501; or
150 13    b.  An amendment is filed in the office specified in
150 14 section 554.9501 concurrently with, or after the filing in
150 15 that office of, an initial financing statement that satisfies
150 16 section 554.9706, subsection 3; or
150 17    c.  An initial financing statement that provides the
150 18 information as amended and satisfies section 554.9706,
150 19 subsection 3 is filed in the office specified in section
150 20 554.9501.
150 21    4.  METHOD OF AMENDING – CONTINUATION.  If the law of this
150 22 state governs perfection of a security interest, the
150 23 effectiveness of a pre-effective-date financing statement may
150 24 be continued only under section 554.9705, subsections 4 and 6
150 25 or section 554.9706.
150 26    5.  METHOD OF AMENDING – ADDITIONAL TERMINATION RULE.
150 27 Whether or not the law of this state governs perfection of a
150 28 security interest, the effectiveness of a pre-effective-date
150 29 financing statement filed in this state may be terminated
150 30 after this Act takes effect by filing a termination statement
150 31 in the office in which the pre-effective-date financing
150 32 statement is filed, unless an initial financing statement that
150 33 satisfies section 554.9706, subsection 3, has been filed in
150 34 the office specified by the law of the jurisdiction governing
150 35 perfection as provided in part 3 as the office in which to
151  1 file a financing statement.
151  2    Sec. 134.  NEW SECTION.  554.9708  PERSONS ENTITLED TO FILE
151  3 INITIAL FINANCING STATEMENT OR CONTINUATION STATEMENT.
151  4    A person may file an initial financing statement or a
151  5 continuation statement under this part if:
151  6    1.  the secured party of record authorizes the filing; and
151  7    2.  the filing is necessary under this part:
151  8    a.  to continue the effectiveness of a financing statement
151  9 filed before this Act takes effect; or
151 10    b.  to perfect or continue the perfection of a security
151 11 interest.
151 12    Sec. 135.  NEW SECTION.  554.9709  PRIORITY.
151 13    1.  LAW GOVERNING PRIORITY.  This Act determines the
151 14 priority of conflicting claims to collateral.  However, if the
151 15 relative priorities of the claims were established before this
151 16 Act takes effect, former Article 9 determines priority.
151 17    2.  PRIORITY IF SECURITY INTEREST BECOMES ENFORCEABLE UNDER
151 18 SECTION 554.9203.  For purposes of section 554.9322,
151 19 subsection 1, the priority of a security interest that becomes
151 20 enforceable under section 554.9203 of this Act dates from the
151 21 time this Act takes effect if the security interest is
151 22 perfected under this Act by the filing of a financing
151 23 statement before this Act takes effect which would not have
151 24 been effective to perfect the security interest under former
151 25 Article 9.  This subsection does not apply to conflicting
151 26 security interests each of which is perfected by the filing of
151 27 such a financing statement.
151 28    Sec. 136.  NEW SECTION.  554.9710  "FORMER" DEFINED.
151 29    References in this part to "former Article 9" or a former
151 30 section are to that Article or section as in effect
151 31 immediately before this Act takes effect.

153 33 not a "security interest", but a buyer may also acquire a
153 34 "security interest" by complying with Article 9.  Unless a
153 35 consignment is intended as security, reservation of title
154  1 thereunder is not a "security interest", but a consignment in
154  2 any event is subject to the provisions on consignment sales
154  3 (section 554.2326).  Except as otherwise provided in section
154  4 554.2505, the right of a seller or lessor of goods under

154 10 554.2401) is limited in effect to a reservation of a "security
154 11 interest".
154 12    Sec. 140.  Section 554.2103, subsection 3, Code 1999, is
154 13 amended to read as follows:
154 14    3.  The following definitions in other Articles apply to

154 23    Sec. 141.  Section 554.2210, subsection 2, Code 1999, is
154 24 amended to read as follows:
154 25    2.  Unless Except as otherwise provided in section
154 26 554.9406, unless otherwise agreed all rights of either seller
154 27 or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment would
154 28 materially change the duty of the other party, or increase
154 29 materially the burden of risk imposed on the other party by
154 30 the contract, or impair materially the other party's chance of
154 31 obtaining return performance.  A right to damages for breach
154 32 of the whole contract or a right arising out of the assignor's
154 33 due performance of the assignor's entire obligation can be
154 34 assigned despite agreement otherwise.
154 35    Sec. 142.  Section 554.2210, Code 1999, is amended by
155  1 adding the following new subsection, and renumbering
155  2 subsequent subsections:
155  3    NEW SUBSECTION.  3.  The creation, attachment, perfection,
155  4 or enforcement of a security interest in the seller's interest
155  5 under a contract is not a transfer that materially changes the
155  6 duty of or increases materially the burden or risk imposed on
155  7 the buyer or impairs materially the buyer's chance of
155  8 obtaining return performance within the purview of subsection
155  9 2 unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement
155 10 actually results in a delegation of material performance of
155 11 the seller.  Even in that event, the creation, attachment,
155 12 perfection, and enforcement of the security interest remain
155 13 effective, but (i) the seller is liable to the buyer for
155 14 damages caused by the delegation to the extent that the
155 15 damages could not reasonably be prevented by the buyer, and
155 16 (ii) a court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate
155 17 relief, including cancellation of the contract for sale or an
155 18 injunction against enforcement of the security interest or
155 19 consummation of the enforcement.
155 20    Sec. 143.  Section 554.2326, Code 1999, is amended to read
155 21 as follows:
155 22    554.2326  SALE ON APPROVAL AND SALE OR RETURN –
155 23 CONSIGNMENT SALES AND RIGHTS OF CREDITORS.
155 24    1.  Unless otherwise agreed, if delivered goods may be
155 25 returned by the buyer even though they conform to the
155 26 contract, the transaction is
155 27    a.  a "sale on approval" if the goods are delivered
155 28 primarily for use, and
155 29    b.  a "sale or return" if the goods are delivered primarily
155 30 for resale.
155 31    2.  Except as provided in subsection 3, goods Goods held on
155 32 approval are not subject to the claims of the buyer's
155 33 creditors until acceptance; goods held on sale or return are
155 34 subject to such claims while in the buyer's possession.
155 35    3.  Where goods are delivered to a person for sale and such
156  1 person maintains a place of business at which that person
156  2 deals in goods of the kind involved, under a name other than
156  3 the name of the person making delivery, then with respect to
156  4 claims of creditors of the person conducting the business the
156  5 goods are deemed to be on sale or return.  The provisions of
156  6 this subsection are applicable even though an agreement
156  7 purports to reserve title to the person making delivery until
156  8 payment or resale or uses such words as "on consignment" or
156  9 "on memorandum".  However, this subsection is not applicable
156 10 if the person making delivery
156 11    a.  complies with an applicable law providing for a
156 12 consignor's interest or the like to be evidenced by a sign, or
156 13    b.  establishes that the person conducting the business is
156 14 generally known by creditors of the person conducting the
156 15 business to be substantially engaged in selling the goods of
156 16 others, or
156 17    c.  complies with the filing provisions of the Article on
156 18 Secured Transactions (Article 9).
156 19    4. 3.  Any "or return" term of a contract for sale is to be
156 20 treated as a separate contract for sale within the statute of
156 21 frauds section of this Article (section 554.2201) and as
156 22 contradicting the sale aspect of the contract within the
156 23 provisions of this Article on parol or extrinsic evidence
156 24 (section 554.2202).
156 25    Sec. 144.  Section 554.2502, Code 1999, is amended to read
156 26 as follows:
156 27    554.2502  BUYER'S RIGHT TO GOODS ON SELLER'S REPUDIATION,
156 28 FAILURE TO DELIVER, OR INSOLVENCY.
156 29    1.  Subject to subsection subsections 2 and 3 and even
156 30 though the goods have not been shipped a buyer who has paid a
156 31 part or all of the price of goods in which the buyer has a
156 32 special property under the provisions of the immediately
156 33 preceding section may on making and keeping good a tender of
156 34 any unpaid portion of their price recover them from the seller
156 35 if:
157  1    a.  in the case of goods bought for personal, family, or
157  2 household purposes, the seller repudiates or fails to deliver
157  3 as required by the contract; or
157  4    b.  in all cases the seller becomes insolvent within ten
157  5 days after receipt of the first installment on their price.
157  6    2.  The buyer's right to recover the goods under subsection
157  7 1, paragraph "a", vests upon acquisition of a special
157  8 property, even if the seller had not then repudiated or failed
157  9 to deliver.
157 10    2. 3.  If the identification creating the buyer's special
157 11 property has been made by the buyer, the buyer acquires the
157 12 right to recover the goods only if they conform to the
157 13 contract for sale.
157 14    Sec. 145.  Section 554.2716, subsection 3, Code 1999, is
157 15 amended to read as follows:
157 16    3.  The buyer has a right of replevin for goods identified
157 17 to the contract if after reasonable effort the buyer is unable
157 18 to effect cover for such goods or the circumstances reasonably
157 19 indicate that such effort will be unavailing or if the goods
157 20 have been shipped under reservation and satisfaction of the
157 21 security interest in them has been made or tendered.  In the
157 22 case of goods bought for personal, family, or household
157 23 purposes, the buyer's right of replevin vests upon acquisition
157 24 of a special property, even if the seller had not then
157 25 repudiated or failed to deliver.
157 26    Sec. 146.  Section 554.4210, subsection 3, paragraph a,
157 27 Code 1999, is amended to read as follows:
157 28    a.  no security agreement is necessary to make the security
157 29 interest enforceable (section 554.9203, subsection 1 2,
157 30 paragraph "a" "c", subparagraph (1));
157 31    Sec. 147.  NEW SECTION.  554.5118  SECURITY INTEREST OF
157 32 ISSUER OR NOMINATED PERSON.
157 33    1.  An issuer or nominated person has a security interest
157 34 in a document presented under a letter of credit to the extent
157 35 that the issuer or nominated person honors or gives value for
158  1 the presentation.
158  2    2.  So long as and to the extent that an issuer or
158  3 nominated person has not been reimbursed or has not otherwise
158  4 recovered the value given with respect to a security interest
158  5 in a document under subsection 1, the security interest
158  6 continues and is subject to Article 9, but:
158  7    a.  a security agreement is not necessary to make the
158  8 security interest enforceable under section 554.9203,
158  9 subsection 2, paragraph "c";
158 10    b.  if the document is presented in a medium other than a
158 11 written or other tangible medium, the security interest is
158 12 perfected; and
158 13    c.  if the document is presented in a written or other
158 14 tangible medium and is not a certificated security, chattel
158 15 paper, a document of title, an instrument, or a letter of
158 16 credit, the security interest is perfected and has priority
158 17 over a conflicting security interest in the document so long
158 18 as the debtor does not have possession of the document.
158 19    Sec. 148.  Section 554.7503, subsection 1, paragraph a,
158 20 Code 1999, is amended to read as follows:

158 22 covering them to the bailor or the bailor's nominee with
158 23 actual or apparent authority to ship, store or sell or with
158 24 power to obtain delivery under this Article (section 554.7403)
158 25 or with power of disposition under this chapter (sections
158 26 554.2403 and 554.9307 554.9320) or other statute or rule of
158 27 law; nor
158 28    Sec. 149.  Section 554.8103, subsection 6, Code 1999, is
158 29 amended to read as follows:
158 30    6.  A commodity contract, as defined in section 554.9115
158 31 554.9102, subsection 1, paragraph "o", is not a security or a
158 32 financial asset.

159  3 comply with entitlement orders originated by the purchaser
159  4 without further consent by the entitlement holder.; or

159  9    6.  A purchaser who has satisfied the requirements of
159 10 subsection 3, paragraph "b", or subsection 4, paragraph "b",
159 11 has control, even if the registered owner in the case of
159 12 subsection 3, paragraph "b", or the entitlement holder in the
159 13 case of subsection 4, paragraph "b", retains the right to make
159 14 substitutions for the uncertificated security or security
159 15 entitlement, to originate instructions or entitlement orders
159 16 to the issuer or securities intermediary, or otherwise to deal
159 17 with the uncertificated security or security entitlement.

159 28 between the securities intermediary and its entitlement holder
159 29 governing the securities account expressly provides that the
159 30 agreement is governed by the law of a particular jurisdiction,
159 31 that jurisdiction is the securities intermediary's
159 32 jurisdiction.
159 33    c.  if neither paragraph "a" nor paragraph "b" applies and
159 34 an agreement between the securities intermediary and its
159 35 entitlement holder does not specify the governing law as
160  1 provided in paragraph "a", but governing the securities
160  2 account expressly specifies provides that the securities
160  3 account is maintained at an office in a particular
160  4 jurisdiction, that jurisdiction is the securities
160  5 intermediary's jurisdiction.
160  6    c. d.  if an agreement between the securities intermediary
160  7 and its entitlement holder does not specify a jurisdiction as
160  8 provided in paragraph "a" or "b" none of the preceding
160  9 paragraphs applies, the securities intermediary's jurisdiction

163 21    Sec. 157.  Section 554.13303, subsections 1 through 5, Code
163 22 1999, are amended to read as follows:
163 23    1.  As used in this section, "creation of a security
163 24 interest" includes the sale of a lease contract that is
163 25 subject to Article 9, Secured Transactions, by reason of
163 26 section 554.9102 554.9109, subsection 1, paragraph "b" "c".
163 27    2.  Except as provided in subsections subsection 3 and 4,
163 28 and section 554.9407, a provision in a lease agreement which
163 29 (i) prohibits the voluntary or involuntary transfer, including
163 30 a transfer by sale, sublease, creation or enforcement of a
163 31 security interest, or attachment, levy, or other judicial
163 32 process, of an interest of a party under the lease contract or
163 33 of the lessor's residual interest in the goods, or (ii) makes
163 34 such a transfer an event of default, gives rise to the rights
163 35 and remedies provided in subsection 5 4, but a transfer that
164  1 is prohibited or is an event of default under the lease
164  2 agreement is otherwise effective.
164  3    3.  A provision in a lease agreement which (i) prohibits
164  4 the creation or enforcement of a security interest in an
164  5 interest of a party under the lease contract or in the
164  6 lessor's residual interest in the goods, or (ii) makes such a
164  7 transfer an event of default, is not enforceable unless, and
164  8 then only to the extent that, there is an actual transfer by
164  9 the lessee of the lessee's right of possession or use of the
164 10 goods in violation of the provision or an actual delegation of
164 11 a material performance of either party to the lease contract
164 12 in violation of the provision.  Neither the granting nor the
164 13 enforcement of a security interest in (i) the lessor's
164 14 interest under the lease contract or (ii) the lessor's

168 28 operator, or which were utilized in the business operation of
168 29 the warehouse operator.  A court, upon petition by an affected
168 30 party, may order that claimed warehouse operator assets are
168 31 not warehouse operator assets as defined in this section.  The

169 15 and duties of a secured party and a debtor as provided in
169 16 chapter 554, article 9, part 5 6.  If a right or duty under
169 17 chapter 554, article 9, part 5 6, is contingent upon the
169 18 existence of express language in a security agreement, or may
169 19 be waived by express language in a security agreement, the
169 20 requisite language is deemed not to exist for purposes of
169 21 enforcement of the lien created by this section.
