SB9-SSA1,43,18 (5) Application of payment in nonconsumer-goods transaction.

SB9-SSA1,43,20 (a) In accordance with any reasonable method of application to which the parties agree;

SB9-SSA1,43,23 (b) 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
