statement.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in Subsections (2), (5), (6), and (7), a filed financing statement is
effective for a period of five years after the date of filing.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in Subsections (5), (6), and (7), an initial financing statement filed
in connection with a public-finance transaction or manufactured-home transaction is effective
for a period of 30 years after the date of filing if it indicates that it is filed in connection with a
public-finance transaction or manufactured-home transaction.
(3) The effectiveness of a filed financing statement lapses on the expiration of the period of its
effectiveness unless before the lapse a continuation statement is filed pursuant to Subsection
(4). Upon lapse, a financing statement ceases to be effective and any security interest or
agricultural lien that was perfected by the financing statement becomes unperfected, unless
the security interest is perfected otherwise. If the security interest or agricultural lien becomes
unperfected upon lapse, it is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of
the collateral for value.
(4) A continuation statement may be filed only within six months before the expiration of the five-
year period specified in Subsection (1) or the 30-year period specified in Subsection (2),
whichever is applicable.
(5) Except as otherwise provided in Section 70A-9a-510, upon timely filing of a continuation
statement, the effectiveness of the initial financing statement continues for a period of five years
commencing on the day on which the financing statement would have become ineffective in
the absence of the filing. Upon the expiration of the five-year period, the financing statement
lapses in the same manner as provided in Subsection (3), unless, before the lapse, another
continuation statement is filed pursuant to Subsection (4). Succeeding continuation statements
may be filed in the same manner to continue the effectiveness of the initial financing statement.
(6) If a debtor is a transmitting utility and a filed initial financing statement so indicates, the
financing statement is effective until a termination statement is filed.
(7) A record of a mortgage that is effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under
Subsection 70A-9a-502(3) remains effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing
until the mortgage is released or satisfied of record or its effectiveness otherwise terminates as
to the real property.
