If more than 1 security interest attaches to the product or mass under subsection (3), the following rules determine priority:

A security interest that is perfected under subsection (4) has priority over a security interest that is unperfected at the time the collateral becomes commingled goods.

If more than 1 security interest is perfected under subsection (4), the security interests rank equally in proportion to the value of the collateral at the time it became commingled goods.
