§ 9607.  Collection and enforcement by secured party.
        (a)  Collection and enforcement generally.--If so agreed, and
     in any event after default, a secured party:
            (1)  may notify an account debtor or other person
        obligated on collateral to make payment or otherwise render
        performance to or for the benefit of the secured party;
            (2)  may take any proceeds to which the secured party is
        entitled under section 9315 (relating to secured party's
        rights on disposition of collateral and in proceeds);
            (3)  may enforce the obligations of an account debtor or
        other person obligated on collateral and exercise the rights
        of the debtor with respect to the obligation of the account
        debtor or other person obligated on collateral to make
        payment or otherwise render performance to the debtor and
        with respect to any property which secures the obligations of
        the account debtor or other person obligated on the
        collateral;
            (4)  if the secured party holds a security interest in a
        deposit account perfected by control under section 9104(a)(1)
        (relating to requirements for control), may apply the balance
        of the deposit account to the obligation secured by the
        deposit account; and
            (5)  if the secured party holds a security interest in a
        deposit account perfected by control under section 9104(a)(2)
        or (3), may instruct the bank to pay the balance of the
        deposit account to or for the benefit of the secured party.
        (b)  Nonjudicial enforcement of mortgage.--If necessary to
     enable a secured party to exercise under subsection (a)(3) the
     right of a debtor to enforce a mortgage nonjudicially, the
     secured party may record in the office in which a record of the
     mortgage is recorded:
            (1)  A copy of the security agreement which creates or
        provides for a security interest in the obligation secured by
        the mortgage.
            (2)  The secured party's sworn affidavit in recordable
        form stating that:
                (i)  a default has occurred; and
                (ii)  the secured party is entitled to enforce the
            mortgage nonjudicially.
        (c)  Commercially reasonable collection and enforcement.--A
     secured party shall proceed in a commercially reasonable manner
     if the secured party:
            (1)  undertakes to collect from or enforce an obligation
        of an account debtor or other person obligated on collateral;
        and
            (2)  is entitled to charge back uncollected collateral or
        otherwise to full or limited recourse against the debtor or a
        secondary obligor.
        (d)  Expenses of collection and enforcement.--A secured party
     may deduct from the collections made pursuant to subsection (c)
     reasonable expenses of collection and enforcement, including
     reasonable attorney fees and legal expenses incurred by the
     secured party.
        (e)  Duties to secured party not affected.--This section does
     not determine whether an account debtor, bank or other person
     obligated on collateral owes a duty to a secured party.
