The Broker shall be compensated for its services solely in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Order and any such other procedures as may be fixed by order of this Court.\n\n5.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, none of the Agents shall also represent any potential purchaser of the Mahwah Mansion.\n\n7. To the extent the Application or the Agreement is inconsistent with this Order, the terms of this Order shall govern.\n\n8. The Trustee and the Broker are authorized and empowered to take all actions necessary to effectuate the relief granted in this Order.\n\n9.
