Maryland Code § CL-6-106

In addition to the requirements of the two preceding sections:
(1) Upon every bulk transfer subject to this title for which new
consideration becomes payable except those made by sale at auction it is the duty of
the transferee to assure that such consideration is applied so far as necessary to pay
those debts of the transferor which are either shown on the list furnished by the

transferor (§ 6-104) or filed in writing in the place stated in the notice (§ 6-107) within
thirty days after the mailing of such notice. This duty of the transferee runs to all the
holders of such debts, and may be enforced by any of them for the benefit of all.
(2) If any of said debts are in dispute the necessary sum may be withheld
from distribution until the dispute is settled or adjudicated.
(3) If the consideration payable is not enough to pay all of the said debts in
full, distribution shall be made pro rata.
(4) The transferee may within ten days after he takes possession of the
goods file a petition in the circuit court for the county in which the place of business
of the transferor is situated and pay the consideration into such court asking that a
receiver or receivers be appointed by said court to take charge of the distribution of
the agreed purchase price and the transferee may discharge his duty under this
section by giving notice by registered or certified mail to all the persons to whom the
duty runs that the consideration has been paid into that court and that they should
file their claims there. If said receivership is granted then said receiver or receivers,
upon qualification by filing an approved bond in the amount fixed by the court, shall
be entitled to the custody and distribution of the agreed purchase price under orders
of the court as in other receiverships.
