(d) To be effective under subsection (a)(2), a notification of objection must be received by the secured party:  (1) In the case of a person to which the proposal was sent pursuant to section 490:9-621, within twenty days after notification was sent to that person; and  (2) In other cases:  (A) Within twenty days after the last notification was sent pursuant to section 490:9-621; or  (B) If a notification was not sent, before the debtor consents to the acceptance under subsection (c).  (e) A secured party that has taken possession of collateral shall dispose of the collateral pursuant to section 490:9-610 within the time specified in subsection (f) if:  (1) Sixty per cent of the cash price has been paid in the case of a purchase-money security interest in consumer goods; or  (2) Sixty per cent of the principal amount of the obligation secured has been paid in the case of a non-purchase-money security interest in consumer goods.  (f) To comply with subsection (e), the secured party shall dispose of the collateral:  (1) Within ninety days after taking possession; or  (2) Within any longer period to which the debtor and all secondary obligors have agreed in an agreement to that effect entered into and authenticated after default.
