| statement), 9-519 [Maine cite section 9-1519] (indexing of | records). The new term, "as-extracted collateral," refers | to the minerals and related accounts to which the special | rules apply. The term "at the wellhead" encompasses | arrangements based on a sale of the produce at the moment | that it issues from the ground and is measured, without | technical distinctions as to whether title passes at the | "Christmas tree" of a well, the far side of a gathering | tank, or at some other point. The term "at . . . the | minehead" is comparable. |

| | The following examples explain the operation of these | provisions. |
|
| | Example 5: Debtor owns an interest in oil that is to be | extracted. To secure Debtor's obligations to Lender, Debtor | enters into an authenticated agreement granting Lender an | interest in the oil. Although Lender may acquire an interest in | the oil under real-property law, Lender does not acquire a | security interest under this Article until the oil becomes | personal property, i.e., until is extracted and becomes "goods" | to which this Article applies. Because Debtor had an interest in | the oil before extraction and Lender's security interest attached | to the oil as extracted, the oil is "as-extracted collateral." |
|
| | Example 6: Debtor owns an interest in oil that is to be | extracted and contracts to sell the oil to Buyer at the wellhead. | In an authenticated agreement, Debtor agrees to sell to Lender | the right to payment from Buyer. This right to payment is an | account that constitutes "as-extracted collateral." If Lender | then resells the account to Financer, Financer acquires a | security interest. However, inasmuch as the debtor-seller in | that transaction, Lender, had no interest in the oil before | extraction, Financer's collateral (the account it owns) is not | "as-extracted collateral." |
|
| | Example 7: Under the facts of Example 6, before extraction, | Buyer grants a security interest in the oil to Bank. Although | Bank's security interest attaches when the oil is extracted, | Bank's security interest is not in "as-extracted collateral," | inasmuch as its debtor, Buyer, did not have an interest in the | oil before extraction. |
