7. Provided Buyer or Buyer's designee consents, in writing, the Receiver is hereby authorized to amend or otherwise modify the PSA, in writing, as necessary to complete the sale of the Property in the event that the Receiver determines, in his reasonable business judgment, that such amendment or modification is reasonable and necessary, will benefit the Estate, avoid the imposition of any liability upon the Estate, or is required pursuant to the terms of the PSA or any other amendment or modification thereto, provided that any such amendment or modification does not change the material terms of the contract, including the parties to the PSA and the purchase price for the Property;
