2 F9-107 n A security interest is a “purchase money security interest” to the extent that it is u (a) taken or retained by the seller of the collateral to secure all or part of its price; or u (b) taken by a person who by making advances or incurring an obligation gives value to enable the debtor to acquire rights in or the use of collateral if such value is in fact so used.

(a) n (a) [Definitions.] In this section: u (1) “purchase-money collateral” means goods or software that secures a purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to that collateral; and

(a) u (2) “purchase-money obligation” means an obligation of an obligor incurred as all or part of the price of the collateral or for value given to enable the debtor to acquire rights in or the use of the collateral if the value is in fact so used.

(b) n (b) [Purchase-money security interest in goods.] u A security interest in goods is a purchase-money security interest: w (1) to the extent that the goods are purchase- money collateral with respect to that security interest;

(b) w (2) if the security interest is in inventory that is or was purchase-money collateral, also to the extent that the security interest secures a purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to other inventory in which the secured party holds or held a purchase-money security interest; and

(b) w (3) also to the extent that the security interest secures a purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to software in which the secured party holds or held a purchase-money security interest.

(e) n (e) [Application of payment in non- consumer-goods transaction.] u In a transaction other than a consumer-goods transaction, if the extent to which a security interest is a purchase-money security interest depends on the application of a payment to a particular obligation, the payment must be applied:

(e) w (1) in accordance with any reasonable method of application to which the parties agree; w (2) in the absence of the parties’ agreement to a reasonable method, in accordance with any intention of the obligor manifested at or before the time of payment; or

(e) w (3) in the absence of an agreement to a reasonable method and a timely manifestation of the obligor’s intention, in the following order: (A) to obligations that are not secured; and (B) if more than one obligation is secured, to obligations secured by purchase-money security interests in the order in which those obligations were incurred.

(a): Priority of PMSI n (a) [General rule: purchase-money priority.] u Except as otherwise provided in subsection (g), a perfected purchase-money security interest in goods other than inventory or livestock has priority over a conflicting security interest in the same goods, and, except as otherwise provided in Section 9 ‑ 327, a perfected security interest in its identifiable proceeds also has priority,

(a): Priority of PMSI u if the purchase-money security interest is perfected when the debtor receives possession of the collateral or within 20 days thereafter.

(b): Inventory PMSI Priority n (b) [Inventory purchase-money priority.] u Subject to subsection (c) and except as otherwise provided in subsection (g), a perfected purchase- money security interest in inventory has priority over a conflicting security interest in the same inventory, … and, except as otherwise provided in Section 9 ‑ 327, also has priority in identifiable cash proceeds of the inventory to the extent the

(b): Inventory PMSI Priority u identifiable cash proceeds are received on or before the delivery of the inventory to a buyer, if: w (1) the purchase-money security interest is perfected when the debtor receives possession of the inventory; w (2) the purchase-money secured party sends an authenticated notification to the holder of the conflicting security interest;

(b): Inventory PMSI Priority w (3) the holder of the conflicting security interest receives the notification within five years before the debtor receives possession of the inventory; and w (4) the notification states that the person sending the notification has or expects to acquire a purchase-money security interest in inventory of the debtor and describes the inventory.

31 MBank Alamo Howe Dupont MBank Raytheon Customer < 1/10/83 SA: AR, INV FS: AR, INV Sale AR < 1/10/83 SA: AR FS: AR > 1/10/83 Assignment of AR FS: AR Does Raytheon have priority in AR?

32 Understanding the Deal n Raytheon Claims PMSI in AR u Howe sells x-ray machine on credit to customer creating AR

33 Understanding the Deal u Raytheon says its extension of credit enable Howe to acquire AR: w “Raytheon, by agreeing to extend credit on its equipment, enabled Howe X-Ray to enter into subsequent contracts of sale with its customers, thereby acquiring rights in the contract accounts which, upon the specific advance and delivery of equipment, blossomed into a right to the collateral accounts receivable.”

34 Understanding the Deal n Why didn’t Raytheon claim PMSI priority in inventory in Howe’s hands? n Answer u Failed to give the notice required under 9-324(b)

35 Understanding the Deal n Suppose Raytheon had given the notice: What result? n Answer u Note that priority in inventory does not extend to priority in the AR as proceeds of the inventory (9- 324(b)) u Need to track the progress of the collateral and possible changes in priority

36 Understanding the Deal n Couldn’t Raytheon have just sought subordinations from MBank and DuPont?
