Nevada § 104.9615 - Application of proceeds of disposition; liability for deficiency and right to surplus

§ 104.9615. Application of proceeds of disposition; liability for deficiency and right to surplus

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 attorney's 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 holder's 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.
