Snippet from the Sale Motion
Pursuant to Sec. 363(b)(1), HD EQUIPMENT, INC., Debtor, hereby files this Motion with this Court requesting authorization from this Court to sell personal property consisting of a 1980 Learjet 35 A, S/N 35A-329 (FAA number N261PG), hereinafter referred to the “Jet”. In support of this Motion, the Debtor states as follows:

The Debtor filed for relief on July 17, 2013 under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

Debtor proposes to sell to FRANCISCO GONZALEZ OROZCO (“Purchaser”) the Jet valued at approximately $860,000.00 for the purchase price of $868,892.91, consisting of $311,669.09 in cash and a 2010 rig International 7500, truck serial number 1HTWNAZT5BJ327332, hereinafter referred to as the “Rig” valued at $557,223.82.

With the purchase price, Debtor has paid the amount owed to Avcon Industries, Inc. (“Avcon”) in the initial amount of $170,497.09 and additional charges of $8,952.91 up to August 31, 2014, for a total of $179,450.00. Avcon agrees to release its lien on the Jet within 5 working days from the signature date of this Order. Movant requests this Court to approve this payment consistent with Order (Doc. 153) signed by this Court on June 6, 2014.

In addition, with this purchase price, $24,279.09 of attorney’s fees owed to Debtor’s counsel (as per Order dated February 13, 2014, Doc. 123) will be paid and the remaining purchase monies will be used by Debtor to pay its debts in accordance to the priority scheme allowed by the Bankruptcy Code in its Plan of Reorganization.

Debtor has negotiated in good faith to sell the Property to the Purchaser. Jet is being sold “as is” with no warranties except for warranty of title and free of any liens, claims or encumbrances, whether of record or not.

Escrow fees will be paid equally by Debtor and Purchaser and it is estimated that such fees will be approximately $1,900.00. Consistent with the purchase agreement, Debtor will pay one half (1/2) such fees from the purchase proceeds of this sale.
