INSOLVENCY AND PREFERENCE

(a) If an item is in or comes into the possession of a payor or

collecting bank that suspends payment and the item has not been

finally paid, the item must be returned by the receiver, trustee, or

agent in charge of the closed bank to the presenting bank or the

closed bank's customer.

(b) If a payor bank finally pays an item and suspends payments

without making a settlement for the item with its customer or the

presenting bank which settlement is or becomes final, the owner of

the item has a preferred claim against the payor bank.

(c) If a payor bank gives or a collecting bank gives or

receives a provisional settlement for an item and thereafter

suspends payments, the suspension does not prevent or interfere with

the settlement's becoming final if the finality occurs automatically

upon the lapse of certain time or the happening of certain events.

(d) If a collecting bank receives from subsequent parties

settlement for an item, which settlement is or becomes final and the

bank suspends payments without making a settlement for the item with

its customer which settlement is or becomes final, the owner of the

item has a preferred claim against the collecting bank.
