     4  person to: (a) knowingly package, sell, deliver for sale, hold for  sale
     5  or  offer for sale, purchase, deliver for purchase, hold for purchase or
     6  offer for purchase (i) any prescription drug that he  or  she  knows  is
     7  adulterated,  misbranded,  counterfeit  or  has  otherwise been rendered
