1. A secured party shall apply or pay over
for application the cash proceeds of disposition under NRS 104.9610 in the following order to:
(a) The reasonable expenses of retaking, holding,
preparing for disposition, processing and disposing, and, to the extent
provided for by agreement and not prohibited by law, reasonable attorneys fees
and legal expenses incurred by the secured party;
(b) The satisfaction of obligations secured by
the security interest or agricultural lien under which the disposition is made;
(c) The satisfaction of obligations secured by
any subordinate security interest in or other subordinate lien on the
collateral if:
(1) The secured party receives from the
holder of the subordinate security interest or other lien a signed demand for
proceeds before distribution of the proceeds is completed; and
(2) In a case in which a consignor has an
interest in the collateral, the subordinate security interest or other lien is
senior to the interest of the consignor; and
(d) A secured party that is a consignor of the
collateral if the secured party receives from the consignor a signed demand for
proceeds before distribution of the proceeds is completed.
2. If requested by a secured party, a
holder of a subordinate security interest or other lien shall furnish
reasonable proof of the interest or lien within a reasonable time. Unless the
holder does so, the secured party need not comply with the holders demand
under paragraph (c) of subsection 1.
3. A secured party need not apply or pay
over for application noncash proceeds of disposition under NRS 104.9610 unless the failure to do so
would be commercially unreasonable. A secured party that applies or pays over
for application noncash proceeds shall do so in a commercially reasonable
manner.
4. If the security interest under which a
disposition is made secures payment or performance of an obligation, after
making the payments and applications required by subsection 1 and permitted by
subsection 3:
(a) Unless paragraph (d) of subsection 1 requires
the secured party to apply or pay over cash proceeds to a consignor, the
secured party shall account to and pay a debtor for any surplus; and
(b) The obligor is liable for any deficiency.
5. If the underlying transaction is a sale
of accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles or promissory notes:
(a) The debtor is not entitled to any surplus; and
(b) The obligor is not liable for any deficiency.
6. The surplus or deficiency following a
disposition is calculated based on the amount of proceeds that would have been
realized in a disposition complying with this part to a transferee other than the
secured party, a person related to the secured party or a secondary obligor if:
(a) The transferee in the disposition is the
secured party, a person related to the secured party or a secondary obligor;
and
(b) The amount of proceeds of the disposition is
significantly below the range of proceeds that a complying disposition to a
person other than the secured party, a person related to the secured party or a
secondary obligor would have brought.
7. A secured party that receives cash
proceeds of a disposition in good faith and without knowledge that the receipt
violates the rights of the holder of a security interest or other lien that is
not subordinate to the security interest or agricultural lien under which the
disposition is made:
(a) Takes the cash proceeds free of the security
interest or other lien;
(b) Is not obligated to apply the proceeds of the
disposition to the satisfaction of obligations secured by the security interest
or other lien; and
(c) Is not obligated to account to or pay the holder
of the security interest or other lien for any surplus.
