Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Deed, the real property and improvements described therein secure the original principal amount of a line of credit instrument in the amount of $3,812,000.00, together with all other obligations, debts, and liabilities, plus interest thereon, of Grantor to Bank of Eastern Oregon, which effectively included three separate promissory notes executed by Grantor and payable to Bank of Eastern Oregon with loan numbers ending in 8512, 8579, and 8546. Grantor filed a Petition for Relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon on November 28, 2017, Case No. 17-34395 (“Bankruptcy Case”). Pursuant to the terms of Debtor’s First Amended Plan of Reorganization Dated August 24, 2018, which was confirmed pursuant to an Order Approving Disclosure Statement and Confirming Debtor’s First Amended Plan of Reorganization Dated August 24, 2018, entered by the Bankruptcy Court on October 19, 2018, (Docket No. 177) (“Confirmed Plan”).

Both the Beneficiary and the Successor Trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said Trust Deed and a Notice of Default has been recorded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes 86.752(3); the default for which the foreclosure is made is Grantors’ failure to pay when due the following sums: Bi-annual payments in accordance with the terms of the Confirmed Plan in the amounts of $200,000 on or before May 17, 2019, $200,000 on or before November 17, 2019, $250,000 on or before May 17, 2020, $250,000 on or before November 17, 2020, and $300,000 on or before May 17, 2021.

WHEREFORE, notice is hereby given that the undersigned successor Trustee will, on January 5, 2022, at the hour of 10:00 a.m. MST in accord with the standard of time established by ORS 187.110, Malheur County Courthouse front entrance, 251 “B” Street West, Vale, Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in said described real property which the Grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by them of the said Trust Deed, together with any interest which the Grantors or their successors in interest acquired after the execution of said Trust Deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the Trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in ORS 86.778 has the right, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the Trust Deed reinstated by payment to the Beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by rendering the performance required under the obligation or Trust Deed, and in addition to paying said sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and trust deed, together with Trustee’s and attorney’s fees not exceeding the amounts provided by ORS 86.778.
