and agricultural liens on same collateral.
PRIORITIES AMONG CONFLICTING SECURITY INTERESTS
IN AND AGRICULTURAL LIENS ON SAME COLLATERAL
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, priority
among conflicting security interests and agricultural liens in the
same collateral is determined according to the following rules:
(1) Conflicting perfected security interests and agricultural
liens rank according to priority in time of filing or perfection.
Priority dates from the earlier of the time a filing covering the
collateral is first made or the security interest or agricultural
lien is first perfected, if there is no period thereafter when there
is neither filing nor perfection;
(2) A perfected security interest or agricultural lien has
priority over a conflicting unperfected security interest or
agricultural lien; and
(3) The first security interest or agricultural lien to attach
or become effective has priority if conflicting security interests
and agricultural liens are unperfected.
(b) For the purposes of paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of this
section:
(1) The time of filing or perfection as to a security interest
in collateral is also the time of filing or perfection as to a
security interest in proceeds; and
(2) The time of filing or perfection as to a security interest
in collateral supported by a supporting obligation is also the time
of filing or perfection as to a security interest in the supporting
obligation.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f) of this
section, a security interest in collateral which qualifies for
priority over a conflicting security interest under Sections 1-9-
327, 1-9-328, 1-9-329, 1-9-330, or 1-9-331 of this title also has
priority over a conflicting security interest in:
(1) Any supporting obligation for the collateral; and
(2) Proceeds of the collateral if:
(A) the security interest in proceeds is perfected;
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 12A. Uniform Commercial Code Page 82
(B) the proceeds are cash proceeds or of the same type as
the collateral; and
(C) in the case of proceeds that are proceeds of proceeds,
all intervening proceeds are cash proceeds, proceeds
of the same type as the collateral, or an account
relating to the collateral.
(d) Subject to subsection (e) of this section and except as
otherwise provided in subsection (f) of this section, if a security
interest in chattel paper, deposit accounts, negotiable documents,
instruments, investment property, or letter-of-credit rights is
perfected by a method other than filing, conflicting perfected
security interests in proceeds of the collateral rank according to
priority in time of filing.
(e) Subsection (d) of this section applies only if the proceeds
of the collateral are not cash proceeds, chattel paper, negotiable
documents, instruments, investment property, or letter-of-credit
rights.
(f) Subsections (a) through (e) of this section are subject to:
(1) subsection (g) of this section and the other provisions of
this part;
(2) Section 4-210 of this title with respect to a security
interest of a collecting bank;
(3) Section 5-118 of this title with respect to a security
interest of an issuer or nominated person; and
(4) Section 1-9-110 of this title with respect to a security
interest arising under Article 2 or 2A of this title.
(g) A perfected agricultural lien on collateral has priority
over a conflicting security interest in or agricultural lien on the
same collateral if the statute creating the agricultural lien so
provides.
