Case 1:20-bk-12043 Doc 303 Filed 08/28/20 Entered 08/28/20 11:03:45 Desc Main <br />Document Page 6 of 13 <br />section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code can be satisfied with respect to a sale of the Wintrust <br />Equipment. <br />16. Section 363(f) governs a sale of property free and clear of interests and provides as <br />follows: <br />The trustee may sell property under subsection (b) or (c) of this <br />section free and clear of any interest in such property of an entity other than <br />the estate, only if <br />(1) applicable nonbankruptcy law permits sale of such property <br />free and clear of such interest; <br />(2) such entity consents; <br />(3) such interest is a lien and the price at which such property is <br />to be sold is greater than the aggregate value of all liens on such property; <br />(4) such interest is in bona fide dispute; or <br />(5) such entity could be compelled, in a legal or equitable <br />proceeding, to accept a money satisfaction of such interest. <br />11 U.S.C. § 363(f). <br />17. The Sale Motion does not— and cannot — allege any basis for the sale of the Wintrust <br />Equipment free and clear of Wintrust's interest therein. See 11 U.S.C. § 363(b)(1) ("The trustee, <br />after notice and a hearing, may use, sell, or lease, other than in the ordinary course of business, <br />property of the estate ... (emphasis added)). Indeed, applicable nonbankruptcy law would not <br />permit the Debtors to sell Wintrust's property free and clear of interests. Wintrust has not <br />consented to such sale and its interest is not in bona fide dispute. Moreover, Wintrust cannot be <br />compelled to accept a looney satisfaction of its interest. <br />I: <br />
