PUBLIC LAW 95-000—MMMM. DD, 1978

PUBLIC LAW 95-598—NOV. 6, 1978 with indemnity for, or assurance of payment of, any deficiency recoverable from such partner, or not to dispose of property. (c) Notwithstanding section 728(c) of this title, the trustee has a claim against the estate of each general partner in such partnership that is a debtor in a case under this title for the full amount of all claims of creditors allowed in the case concerning such partnership. Notwithstanding section 502 of this title, there shall not be allowed in such case a claim against such partner on which both such partner and such partnership are liable, except to any extent that such claim is secured only by property of such partner and not be property of such partnership. The claim of the trustee under this subsection is entitled to distribution in such case under section 726(a) of this title the same as any other claim of the kind specified in such section. (d) If the aggregate that the trustee recovers from the estates of general partners under subsection (c) of this section is greater than any deficiency not recovered under subsection (b) of this section, the court, after notice and a hearing, shall determine an equitable distribution of the surplus so recovered, and the trustee shall distribute such surplus to the estates of the general partners in such partnership according to such determination. § 724. Treatment of certain liens (a) The trustee may avoid a lien that secures a claim of a kind specified in section 726(a)(4) of this title. (b) Property in which the estate has an interest and that is subject to a lien that is not avoidable under this title and that secures an allowed claim for taxes, or proceeds of such property, shall be distributed— (1) first, to any holder of an allowed claim secured by a lien on such property that is not avoidable under this title and that is senior to such tax lien; (2) second, to claims specified in sections 507(a)(1), 507(a) (2), 507(a)(3), 507(a)(4), and 507(a)(5) of this title, to the extent of the amount of such allowed tax claim that is secured by such tax lien; (3) third, to the holder of such tax lien, to any extent that such holder's allowed claim that is secured by such tax lien exceeds any amount distributed under paragraph (2) of this subsection; (4) fourth, to any holder of an allowed claim secured by a lien on such property that is not avoidable under this title and that is junior to such tax lien; (5) fifth, to the holder of such tax lien, to the extent that such holder's allowed claim secured by such tax lien is not paid under paragraph (3) of this subsection; and (6) sixth, to the estate. (c) If more than one creditor is entitled to distribution under a particular paragraph of subsection (b) of this section, distribution to such creditor's under such paragraph shall be in the same order as distribution to such creditors would have been other than under this section. (d) A statutory lien whose priority is determined in the same manner as the priority of a tax lien under section 6323 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (26 U.S.C. 6323) shall be treated under subsection (b) of this section the same as a tax lien. § 725.
