| | | nonnegotiable or uncertificated certificates of deposit. Under | | the definition, an uncertificated certificate of deposit would be | | a deposit account (assuming there is no writing evidencing the | | bank's obligation to pay) whereas a nonnegotiable certificate of | | deposit would be a deposit account only if it is not an | | "instrument" as defined in this section (a question that turns on | | whether the nonnegotiable certificate of deposit is "of a type | | that in ordinary course of business is transferred by delivery | | with any necessary indorsement or assignment.") |
|
| | | A deposit account evidenced by an instrument is subject to the | | rules applicable to instruments generally. As a consequence, a | | security interest in such an instrument cannot be perfected by | | "control" (see Section 9-104 [Maine cite section 9-1104]), and | | the special priority rules applicable to deposit accounts (see | | Sections 9-327 and 9-340 [Maine cite sections 9-1327 and 9-1340]) | | do not apply. |
|
| | | The term "deposit account" does not include "investment | | property," such as securities and security entitlements. Thus, | | the term also does not include shares in a money-market mutual | | fund, even if the shares are redeemable by check. |

|
| | | a. Distributions on Account of Collateral. The phrase | | "whatever is collected on, or distributed on account of, | | collateral," in subparagraph (B) [Maine cite paragraph (6)], | | is broad enough to cover cash or stock dividends distributed | | on account of securities or other investment property that | | is original collateral. Compare former Section 9-306 ("Any | | payments or distributions made with respect to investment | | property collateral are proceeds."). This section rejects | | the holding of Hastie v. FDIC, 2 F.3d 1042 (10th Cir. 1993) | | (postpetition cash dividends on stock subject to a | | prepetition pledge are not "proceeds" under Bankruptcy Code | | Section 552(b)), to the extent the holding relies on the | | Article 9 [Maine cite Article 9-A] definition of "proceeds." |
|
| | | b. Distributions on Account of Supporting Obligations. | | Under subparagraph (B) [Maine cite paragraph (6)], | | collections on and distributions on account of collateral | | consisting of various credit-support arrangements | | ("supporting obligations," as defined in Section 9-102) | | [Maine cite section 9-1102] also are proceeds. | | Consequently, they are afforded treatment | | identical to |
