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 /> 6 <br />
