viii. The Secured Creditor and the Stalking Horse bidder, if applicable, are Qualified Bidders that are qualified to

ix. If a Secured Creditor bids beyond its Allowed Claim as defined below , it will be subject to the same terms

and conditions as all other Qualified Bidders for the amount of its bid over and above its credit bid with the

the Secured Creditor’s Allowed Claim as defined below or the Auctioneer is unable to obtain additional backup bidders and there is otherwise a failure to close on the sale of the property of the estate as contemplated

herein, then the Secured Creditor will be entitled to hearing on an expedited basis for the Court to consider

that the Secured Creditor will be deemed the successful bidder in the amount of its highest bid or its

Allowed Claim, whichever is greater or, alternatively, to consider other relief requested by the Secured

Creditor and interested parties. Under no circumstance will there be a sale to a party other than the

Deed executed in favor of the Purchaser shall provide all of the protections a purchaser is entitled the

Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363.
