Having confirmed the Receiver's compliance with the Sales Procedures, and

16 and necessary, will benefit the Estate, avoid the imposition of any liability upon the
17 Estate, or is required pursuant to the terms of the PSA or any other amendment or

The Receiver shall provide Buyer or Buyer's designee with a certified
