(c) At such time as the seller has fulfilled all of its obligations under all preneed contracts with respect to which funds have been contributed to the trust fund, and certification under oath to the trustee by a responsible officer of the seller of those facts, the seller may withdraw from the trust fund and retain all of the remaining assets thereof.
