| Example 2: Debtor authenticates a security agreement creating |
a security interest in Debtor's inventory in favor of Secured |
Party. Secured Party files a financing statement covering |
inventory. Debtor sells some inventory, deposits the buyer's |
payment into a deposit account, and withdraws the funds to |
purchase equipment. As long as the equipment can be traced to |
the inventory, the security interest continues in the equipment. |
See Section 9-315(a)(2) [Maine cite section 9-1315, subsection |
(1), paragraph (b)]. However, because the equipment was acquired |
with cash proceeds, the financing statement becomes ineffective |
to perfect the security interest in the equipment on the 21st day |
after the security interest attaches to the equipment unless |
Secured Party continues perfection beyond the 20-day period by |
filing a financing statement against the equipment or amending |
the filed financing statement to cover equipment. See Section 9- |
315(d) [Maine section 9-1315, subsection (4)]. Debtor's |
authentication of the security agreement authorizes the filing of |
an initial financing statement or amendment covering the |
equipment, which is "property that becomes collateral under |
Section 9-315(a)(2) [Maine section 9-1315, subsection 1, |
paragraph (b)]." See Section 9-509(b)(2) [Maine cite section 9- |
1509, subsection (2), paragraph (b)]. |
