(a) Conditions to acceptance in satisfaction. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (g), a secured party may accept collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the obligation it secures only if:
 
 
(1) the debtor consents to the acceptance under 
 
subsection (c);
 
 
(2) the secured party does not receive, within the 
 
time set forth in subsection (d), a notification of objection to the proposal signed by:
 
 
 
(A) a person to which the secured party was 
 
 
required to send a proposal under Section 9-621; or
 
 
 
(B) any other person, other than the debtor, 
 
 
holding an interest in the collateral subordinate to the security interest that is the subject of the proposal;
 
 
(3) if the collateral is consumer goods, the 
 
collateral is not in the possession of the debtor when the debtor consents to the acceptance; and
 
 
(4) subsection (e) does not require the secured party 
 
to dispose of the collateral or the debtor waives the requirement pursuant to Section 9-624.
 
(b) Purported acceptance ineffective. A purported or apparent acceptance of collateral under this Section is ineffective unless:
 
 
(1) the secured party consents to the acceptance in a 
 
signed record or sends a proposal to the debtor; and
 
 
(2) the conditions of subsection (a) are met.
 
(c) Debtor's consent. For purposes of this Section:
 
 
(1) a debtor consents to an acceptance of collateral 
 
in partial satisfaction of the obligation it secures only if the debtor agrees to the terms of the acceptance in a record signed after default; and
 
 
(2) a debtor consents to an acceptance of collateral 
 
in full satisfaction of the obligation it secures only if the debtor agrees to the terms of the acceptance in a record signed after default or the secured party:
 
 
 
(A) sends to the debtor after default a proposal 
 
 
that is unconditional or subject only to a condition that collateral not in the possession of the secured party be preserved or maintained;
 
 
 
(B) in the proposal, proposes to accept 
 
 
collateral in full satisfaction of the obligation it secures; and
 
 
 
(C) does not receive a notification of objection 
 
 
signed by the debtor within 20 days after the proposal is sent.
 
(d) Effectiveness of notification. To be effective under subsection (a)(2), a notification of objection must be received by the secured party:
 
 
(1) in the case of a person to which the proposal was 
 
sent pursuant to Section 9-621, within 20 days after notification was sent to that person; and
 
 
(2) in other cases:
 
 
 
(A) within 20 days after the last notification 
 
 
was sent pursuant to Section 9-621; or
 
 
 
(B) if a notification was not sent, before the 
 
 
debtor consents to the acceptance under subsection (c).
 
(e) Mandatory disposition of consumer goods. A secured party that has taken possession of collateral shall dispose of the collateral pursuant to Section 9-610 within the time specified in subsection (f) if:
 
 
(1) 60 percent of the cash price has been paid in the 
 
case of a purchase-money security interest in consumer goods; or
 
 
(2) 60 percent of the principal amount of the 
 
obligation secured has been paid in the case of a non-purchase-money security interest in consumer goods.
 
(f) Compliance with mandatory disposition requirement. To comply with subsection (e), the secured party shall dispose of the collateral:
 
 
(1) within 90 days after taking possession; or
 
 
(2) within any longer period to which the debtor and 
 
all secondary obligors have agreed in an agreement to that effect entered into and signed after default.
