(1) A SECURED PARTY NEED NOT PROVE COMPLIANCE WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBTITLE RELATING TO COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT,
DISPOSITION, OR ACCEPTANCE UNLESS THE DEBTOR OR A SECONDARY OBLIGOR
PLACES THE SECURED PARTY'S COMPLIANCE IN ISSUE.
(2) IF THE SECURED PARTY'S COMPLIANCE IS PLACED IN ISSUE, THE
SECURED PARTY HAS THE BURDEN OF ESTABLISHING THAT THE COLLECTION,
ENFORCEMENT, DISPOSITION, OR ACCEPTANCE WAS CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THIS SUBTITLE.
(3) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN § 9-628, IF A SECURED PARTY
FAILS TO PROVE THAT THE - COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT, DISPOSITION, OR
ACCEPTANCE WAS CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
SUBTITLE RELATING TO COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT, DISPOSITION, OR
ACCEPTANCE, THE LIABILITY OF A DEBTOR OR A SECONDARY OBLIGOR FOR A
DEFICIENCY IS LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT BY WHICH THE SUM OF THE SECURED
OBLIGATION, EXPENSES, AND ATTORNEYS FEES EXCEEDS THE GREATER OF:

DISPOSITION, OR ACCEPTANCE; OR
(B) THE AMOUNT OF PROCEEDS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
REALIZED HAD THE NONCOMPLYING SECURED PARTY PROCEEDED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBTITLE RELATING TO COLLECTION,
ENFORCEMENT, DISPOSITION, OR ACCEPTANCE.

PRICES 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.

REASONABLE.
(A) THE FACT THAT A GREATER AMOUNT COULD HAVE BEEN OBTAINED BY A
COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT, DISPOSITION, OR ACCEPTANCE AT A DIFFERENT TIME
OR IN A DIFFERENT METHOD FROM THAT SELECTED BY THE SECURED PARTY IS NOT
OF ITSELF SUFFICIENT TO PRECLUDE THE SECURED PARTY FROM ESTABLISHING
THAT THE COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT, DISPOSITION, OR ACCEPTANCE WAS MADE
IN A COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE MANNER.
