(a)The purchaser shall withhold sufficient of the purchase money to cover the amount of all contributions, interest and forfeits due and unpaid until such time as the seller produces a receipt from the Administrator showing that the contributions, interest and forfeits have been paid or a certificate showing that no contributions, interest or forfeits are due.
(b)If the seller fails, within the 10-day period, to produce the receipt or certificate, the purchaser shall pay the sum so withheld to the Administrator upon demand.
