5. When the commissioner determines that an event of default has occurred, he shall proceed in the following manner:
a. Within 20 days after the occurrence of the event of default, he shall ascertain the amount of public funds on deposit in the defaulting depository as disclosed by its records and the amount thereof covered by federal deposit insurance and certify the amounts thereof to each affected governmental unit;
b. Within 10 days after receipt of such certification, each such governmental unit shall furnish to the commissioner verified statements of its public deposits in such defaulting depository as disclosed by its records;
c. Upon receipt of such certificate and statements, he shall ascertain and fix the amount of such public funds on deposit in such defaulting depository, net after deduction of any deposit insurance;
d. He shall ascertain the amount derived or to be derived from the liquidation of the collateral maintained by the defaulting depository pursuant to section 4 of this act, and shall distribute such proceeds pro rata among the governmental units affected to the extent necessary to satisfy the net deposit liabilities to such governmental units;
e. If the proceeds of the sale of the collateral of a defaulting depository which is a State bank, a national bank, a savings bank, or a credit union are insufficient to pay in full the net deposit liability of such depository to all affected governmental units, he shall assess the deficiency against all other such public depositories having public funds on deposit as of the occurrence of the event of default in the proportion that the maximum liability of each such other public depository bears to the aggregate of the maximum liabilities of all such other depositories, but no such assessment shall exceed the maximum liability of any such other depository;
f. If the proceeds of the sale of the collateral of a defaulting depository which is an association are insufficient to pay in full the net deposit liability of such depository to all affected governmental units, he shall assess the deficiency against all such other public depositories having public funds on deposit as of the occurrence of the event of default in the proportion that the maximum liability of each such other public depository bears to the aggregate of the maximum liabilities of all such other depositories, but no such assessment shall exceed the maximum liability of any such other depository;
g. Assessments so made by the commissioner shall be payable on the fifth day following the demand therefor by the commissioner. On default of such payment by any such other public depository, the commissioner shall take possession of and liquidate so much of the eligible collateral maintained by such depository as shall be necessary to satisfy the assessment so made. If the proceeds of the liquidation of the eligible security are insufficient to pay such assessment in full, the commissioner may sue to recover the amount of the deficiency within the limits of the depository's maximum liability.
h. All sums so collected by the commissioner shall be paid by him to the governmental units having deposits in the defaulting depository in the proportion that the net deposit liability to each such governmental unit bears to the aggregate of the net deposit liabilities to all such governmental units;
i. No State bank, national bank, savings bank, or credit union shall be liable with respect to the occurrence of an event of default of an association, and no association shall be liable with respect to the occurrence of an event of default of a State bank, a national bank, a savings bank, or a credit union.
