Property subject to a lien or pledge

 (1) If:
 (a) a company is under administration; and
 (b) property of the company is subject to a lien or pledge; and
 (c) the administrator disposes of the property by way of sale;
then:
 (d) if the net proceeds of sale equals or exceeds the total of the debts secured by:
 (i) the lien or pledge; and
 (ii) any other security over the property, where the debt secured by the security has a priority that is equal to or higher than the priority of the debt secured by the lien or pledge;
  the administrator must:
 (iii) set aside so much of the net proceeds as equals the total of those debts; and
 (iv) apply the amount so set aside in paying those debts; or
 (e) if the net proceeds of sale fall short of the total of the debts secured by:
 (i) the lien or pledge; and
 (ii) any other security over the property, where the debt secured by the security has a priority that is equal to or higher than the priority of the debt secured by the lien or pledge;
  then:
 (iii) the administrator must set aside the net proceeds; and
 (iv) the administrator must apply the amount so set aside in paying those debts in order of priority, on the basis that if the amount is insufficient to fully pay debts of the same priority, they must be paid proportionately; and
