Section 9--604. Procedure If Security Agreement Covers Real Property, Fixtures, or Cooperative Interests  


Latest version.
  • (a) Enforcement: personal and real property. If a  security  agreement
      covers both personal and real property, a secured party may proceed:
             (1) under   this   part  as  to  the  personal  property  without
                 prejudicing any rights with respect to the real property; or
             (2) as to both the personal property and  the  real  property  in
                 accordance with the rights with respect to the real property,
                 in which case the other provisions of this part do not apply.
        (b) Enforcement:  fixtures.  Subject  to subsection (c), if a security
      agreement covers goods that are or become fixtures, a secured party  may
      proceed:
             (1) under this part; or
             (2) in  accordance with the rights with respect to real property,
                 in which case the other provisions of this part do not apply.
        (c) Removal of fixtures. Subject to the other provisions of this part,
      if a secured party holding a security interest in fixtures has  priority
      over  all  owners  and  encumbrancers  of the real property, the secured
      party, after default, may remove the collateral from the real property.
        (d) Injury caused by removal. A secured party that removes  collateral
      shall promptly reimburse any encumbrancer or owner of the real property,
      other  than  the  debtor,  for the cost of repair of any physical injury
      caused by  the  removal.  The  secured  party  need  not  reimburse  the
      encumbrancer  or  owner for any diminution in value of the real property
      caused by the absence of the  goods  removed  or  by  any  necessity  of
      replacing them. A person entitled to reimbursement may refuse permission
      to  remove  until  the  secured  party  gives adequate assurance for the
      performance of the obligation to reimburse.
        (e) Enforcement: cooperative  interests.  A  security  interest  in  a
      cooperative  interest  may  be  enforced  only  as  provided  in Section   9--601(a).
