liability for deficiency and right to surplus.
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT;
LIABILITY FOR DEFICIENCY AND RIGHT TO SURPLUS
(a)  If a security interest or agricultural lien secures payment
or performance of an obligation, the following rules apply:
(1)  A secured party shall apply or pay over for application the
cash proceeds of collection or enforcement under this section in the
following order to:
(A) the reasonable expenses of collection and enforcement
and, to the extent provided for by agreement and not
prohibited by law, reasonable attorney 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
collection or enforcement is made; and
(C) the satisfaction of obligations secured by any
subordinate security interest in or other lien on the
collateral subject to the security interest or
agricultural lien under which the collection or
enforcement is made if the secured party receives 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
complies, the secured party need not comply with the holder's demand
under subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of this subsection.
(3)  A secured party need not apply or pay over for application
noncash proceeds of collection and enforcement under this section
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)  A secured party shall account to and pay a debtor for any
surplus, and the obligor is liable for any deficiency.
(b)  If the underlying transaction is a sale of accounts,
chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes, the debtor
is not entitled to any surplus, and the obligor is not liable for
any deficiency.
