. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (e) or (g),
the security interest of the legal owner has priority over

the Commercial Code and of unperfected security interests in a
manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or
floating home subject to registration under this part and its
proceeds.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (e) or (g), the
security interest of a junior lienholder has priority over
conflicting security interests of holders of security interests
perfected pursuant to Section 9313 of the Commercial Code and of
unperfected security interests in a manufactured home, mobilehome,
commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject to
registration under this part and its proceeds. Conflicting security
interests of junior lienholders rank in the order designated on the
permanent title record maintained by the department.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (e) or (g), a

its proceeds.

conflicting unperfected security interests in a manufactured home,
mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject
to registration under this part and its proceeds rank according to
priority in time of attachment.
(e) (1) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (g), the
security interest of any secured party shall not have priority over
any security interest of a party having a subordinate security
interest by virtue of the preceding provisions of this section to the
extent that the otherwise senior secured obligation was incurred
subsequent to receipt by that creditor of actual or constructive
notice of the existence of the otherwise junior security interest
unless the obligation arose pursuant to the terms of a security
agreement for the purpose of preserving the collateral or protecting
the interest of the senior secured party therein or unless the
otherwise senior secured obligation was incurred under a binding
agreement that the credit would be extended by that creditor.
(2) For purposes of this subdivision receipt of a copy of the
registration certificate which reflects the existence of a security
interest shall constitute constructive notice of the existence of the
security interest. In interpreting the provisions of this
subdivision but for no other purposes, it is the intent of the
Legislature that the priorities among conflicting security interests
be determined in accordance with the rules of law applicable to
priority as to interests in real property.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (g), the security
interest of the legal owner or a junior lienholder has priority over
a conflicting security interest of a holder of a perfected security
interest in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck
camper, or floating home subject to registration under this part
which is inventory, including the proceeds of the inventory. The
rules of priority regarding conflicting security interests of holders
of a perfected security interest in a manufactured home, mobilehome,
commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject to
registration under this part which is inventory and of holders of
security interests perfected pursuant to Sections 9306 and 9313 of
the Commercial Code or unperfected security interests in a
manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or
floating home subject to registration under this part shall be
governed by Sections 9322, 9323, 9324, and 9325 of the Commercial
Code.
(g) If the holders of two or more of the several security
interests shall otherwise agree among themselves, the relative
priorities among the holders of security interests who have so agreed
shall be determined according to this agreement.
