(1) A satisfaction of the judgment.
(2) A receipt for the money which shall constitute a waiver by operation of law of all claims and defenses except a claim for greater compensation.
(b) If the award has not been apportioned at the time the application is made, the applicant shall give notice of the application to all the other defendants who have appeared in the proceeding and who have an interest in the property. If the award has been apportioned at the time the application is made, the applicant shall give such notice to the other defendants as the court may require.
