1. To the costs and expenses of exercising the power of sale and of sale, including the payment of reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred; and
2. Unless otherwise required by law, to the payment of the contract or indebtedness secured by the mortgage, the payment of all other obligations provided in or secured by the mortgage, and the obligations of any junior lienholders or encumbrancers, in order of their priority as otherwise provided for by law. After payment in full to all junior lienholders and encumbrancers, payment shall be made to the party who is the owner of the property immediately preceding the sale.
