(a) The note, bond or other obligation secured by the trust deed for the property that was subject to the trustee’s sale or the judicial foreclosure; or

(b) Any other note, bond or other obligation secured by a residential trust deed for, or mortgage on, the property that was subject to the trustee’s sale or the judicial foreclosure when the debt, of which the note, bond or other obligation is evidence:

(3) Notwithstanding ORS 88.103, if a judicial foreclosure of a trust deed that is not a residential trust deed results in a judgment that includes a money award, the judgment must provide that execution may issue for the amount by which the unpaid balance of the money award exceeds the net sale proceeds that are payable to the judgment creditor from the sale of the property that is subject to the foreclosure if:

(a) The net sale proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the money award; and

(b) The plaintiff requests the provision in the complaint.

(4) This section does not preclude:

(a) An action that forecloses, judicially or nonjudicially:

(A) Other property covered by the trust deed that is the subject of the foreclosure; or

(B) Another trust deed, mortgage, security agreement, consensual or nonconsensual security interest or lien that covers other real or personal property that is also used as security for the note, bond or other obligation that is secured by the trust deed for the property that was sold.

(b) An action against a guarantor for a deficiency that remains after a judicial foreclosure.
