      (a) a security interest taken in collateral, to the extent that it secures all or part of its purchase price;

      (b) a security interest taken in collateral by a person who gives value for the purpose of enabling the grantor to acquire rights in the collateral, to the extent that the value is applied to acquire those rights;

      (c) the interest of a lessor or bailor of goods under a PPS lease;

      (d) the interest of a consignor who delivers goods to a consignee under a commercial consignment.

      Exceptions

      (2) However, a purchase money security interest does not include:

      (a) an interest acquired under a transaction of sale and lease back to the seller; or

      (b) an interest in collateral (as original collateral) that is chattel paper, an investment instrument, an intermediated security, a monetary obligation or a negotiable instrument; or

      (c) a security interest in collateral that (at the time the interest attaches to the collateral) the grantor intends to use predominantly for personal, domestic or household purposes.

      (2A) Despite paragraph (2)(c), a purchase money security interest includes an interest if:

      (a) the interest is covered by subsection (1); and

      (b) the interest is in collateral that (at the time the interest attaches to the collateral) the grantor intends to use predominantly for personal, domestic or household purposes; and

      (c) the collateral is of a kind that is required or permitted by the regulations to be described by serial number.

      Mixed securities

      (3) If a security interest in collateral secures obligations covered by subsection (7) (purchase money obligations) and other obligations, the security interest is a purchase money security interest only to the extent that it secures the purchase money obligations.

      (4) If a security interest is granted in personal property (purchase money collateral) that secures a purchase money obligation, together with other collateral, the security interest is a purchase money security interest only to the extent that it is granted in the purchase money collateral.

      (a) in accordance with any method of application to which the parties agree; or

      (b) if the parties do not agree on a method — in accordance with any intention of the debtor manifested at or before the time of the payment; or

      (c) if neither paragraph (a) nor (b) applies — in the following order:

      (i) to obligations that are not secured, in the order in which those obligations were incurred;

      (ii) to obligations that are secured, but not by purchase money security interests, in the order in which those obligations were incurred;

      (iii) to obligations that are secured by purchase money security interests, in the order in which those obligations were incurred.

      Purchase money obligations

      (7) This subsection covers an obligation of a debtor incurred:

      (a) as all or part of the purchase price of the collateral; or

      (b) for value given to enable the grantor to acquire or use the collateral (provided the collateral is so acquired or used).
