Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

810 ILCS 5/9-103

    (810 ILCS 5/9-103) (from Ch. 26, par. 9-103)
    Sec. 9-103. Purchase-money security interest; application of payments; burden of establishing.
    (a) Definitions. In this Section:
        (1) "purchase-money collateral" means goods or
    
software that secures a purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to that collateral; and
        (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) Purchase-money security interest in goods. A security interest in goods is a purchase-money security interest:
        (1) to the extent that the goods are purchase-money
    
collateral with respect to that security interest;
        (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
        (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.
    (c) Purchase-money security interest in software. A security interest in software is a purchase-money security interest to the extent that the security interest also secures a purchase-money obligation incurred with respect to goods in which the secured party holds or held a purchase-money security interest if:
        (1) the debtor acquired its interest in the software
    
in an integrated transaction in which it acquired an interest in the goods; and
        (2) the debtor acquired its interest in the software
    
for the principal purpose of using the software in the goods.
    (d) Consignor's inventory purchase-money security interest. The security interest of a consignor in goods that are the subject of a consignment is a purchase-money security interest in inventory.
    (e) Application of payment in non-consumer-goods transaction. 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:
        (1) in accordance with any reasonable method of
    
application to which the parties agree;
        (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
        (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.
    (f) No loss of status of purchase-money security interest in non-consumer-goods transaction. In a transaction other than a consumer-goods transaction, a purchase-money security interest does not lose its status as such, even if:
        (1) the purchase-money collateral also secures an
    
obligation that is not a purchase-money obligation;
        (2) collateral that is not purchase-money collateral
    
also secures the purchase-money obligation; or
        (3) the purchase-money obligation has been renewed,
    
refinanced, consolidated, or restructured.
    (g) Burden of proof in non-consumer-goods transaction. In a transaction other than a consumer-goods transaction, a secured party claiming a purchase-money security interest has the burden of establishing the extent to which the security interest is a purchase-money security interest.
    (h) Non-consumer-goods transactions; no inference. The limitation of the rules in subsections (e), (f), and (g) to transactions other than consumer-goods transactions is intended to leave to the court the determination of the proper rules in consumer-goods transactions. The court may not infer from that limitation the nature of the proper rule in consumer-goods transactions and may continue to apply established approaches.
