The rule in subsection (e)(2) [Maine cite subsection (5), paragraph (b)] is limited to readily removable replacements of domestic appliances. It does not apply to original installations. Moreover, it is limited to appliances that are "consumer goods" (defined in Section 9-102 [Maine cite section 9- 1102]) in the hands of the debtor. The principal effect of the rule is to make clear that a secured party financing occasional replacements of domestic appliances in noncommercial, owneroccupied contexts need not concern itself with real-property descriptions or records; indeed, for a purchasemoney replacement of consumer goods, perfection without any filing will be possible. See Section 9-309(1) [Maine cite section 9-1309, subsection (a)].

9. Priority in Fixtures: Judicial Liens. Subsection (e)(3) [Maine cite subsection (5), paragraph (c)], which follows former Section 9-313(4)(d), adopts a first-in-time rule applicable to conflicts between a fixture security interest and a lien on the real property obtained by legal or equitable proceedings. Such a lien is subordinate to an earlier-perfected security interest, regardless of the method by which the security interest was perfected. Judgment creditors generally are not reliance creditors who search real-property records. Accordingly, a perfected fixture security interest takes priority over a subsequent judgment lien or other lien obtained by legal or equitable proceedings, even if no evidence of the security interest appears in the relevant real-property records. Subsection (e)(3) [Maine cite subsection (5), paragraph (c)] thus protects a perfected fixture security interest from avoidance by a trustee in bankruptcy under Bankruptcy Code Section 544(a), regardless of the method of perfection.

10. Priority in Fixtures: Manufactured Homes. A manufactured home may become a fixture. New subsection (e)(4) [Maine cite subsection (5), paragraph (d)] contains a special rule granting priority to certain security interests created in a "manufactured home" as part of a "manufactured-home transaction" (both defined in Section 9-102 [Maine cite section 9-1102]). Under this rule, a security interest in a manufactured home that becomes a fixture has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if the security interest is perfected under a certificate-of-title statute (see Section 9-311 [Maine cite section 9-1311]). Subsection (e)(4) [Maine cite subsection (5), paragraph (d)] is only one of the priority rules applicable to security interests in a manufactured
