     § 9333.  Priority of certain liens arising by operation of law.
        (a)  Possessory lien.--As used in this section, the term
     "possessory lien" means an interest, other than a security
     interest or an agricultural lien:
            (1)  which secures payment or performance of an
        obligation for services or materials furnished with respect
        to goods by a person in the ordinary course of the person's
        business;
            (2)  which is created by statute or rule of law in favor
        of the person; and
            (3)  whose effectiveness depends on the person's
        possession of the goods.
        (b)  Priority of possessory lien.--A possessory lien on goods
     has priority over a security interest in the goods unless the
     lien is created by a statute which expressly provides otherwise.
