5.              Subject to Paragraph 21 of this Interim Order and with the DIP Agent’s consent, the Debtors are authorized to implement changes to the Cash Management System in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, the opening of any new bank accounts and the closing of any existing bank accounts it may deem necessary and appropriate, so long as (i) any such new account is with a bank that is (a) insured with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and (b) has a Uniform Depository Agreement with the U.S. Trustee pursuant to the U.S. Trustee’s Operating Guidelines and Reporting Requirements for Debtors in Possession and Trustees, or at such bank that is willing to immediately execute such agreement; and (ii) the Debtors provide notice to the U.S. Trustee and any statutory committees appointed in these chapter 11 cases within 14 days of the opening or closing of such account.

 

6.              The existing deposit agreements, including Deposit Account Control Agreements, between the Debtors and its existing depository and disbursement banks (collectively, the “Banks”) shall continue to govern the postpetition cash management relationship between the Debtors and the Banks, and that all of the provisions of such agreements, including, without limitation, the termination and fee provisions, shall remain in full force and effect. Wells Fargo and the Debtors have agreed that the Debtors will close all of their bank accounts with Wells Fargo by January 31, 2021, and all depository accounts and existing deposit agreements between the Debtors and Wells Fargo, including any Deposit Account Control Agreements shall terminate on January 31, 2021.

Case 20-13076-BLS     Doc 164     Filed 12/18/20     Page 18 of 26

 

8.             All banks are authorized to accept and honor all representations from the Debtors as to which Disbursements should be honored and shall have no duty to inquire as to whether such payments are authorized by an order of this Court. If any banks nevertheless dishonor Court-approved Disbursements, the Debtors are authorized to issue replacement Disbursements consistent with the orders of this Court. No bank will be liable to the Debtors or their estates, or otherwise be in violation of the orders of this Court, for honoring a prepetition Disbursement or other Disbursement at the Debtors’ direction.

 

9.             Each Bank is authorized, without further order of this Court, to deduct applicable fees and expenses associated with services rendered to the Debtors, whether arising prepetition or postpetition, from the appropriate accounts of the Debtors and to charge back to the appropriate accounts any amounts resulting from returned checks or other returned items, regardless of whether such items were deposited or transferred prepetition or postpetition and regardless of whether the returned items relate to prepetition or postpetition items or transfers. The Debtors shall at all times maintain sufficient balances in the accounts at each Bank to secure their obligations to each Bank for the cash management and related services provided to the Debtors.

 

10.            The Debtors are authorized but not directed to (a) obtain credit on a secured basis through their and their employees’ use of the Corporate Credit Cards on an uninterrupted and ongoing basis pursuant to section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and continue the Corporate Credit Card Program, subject to any terms and conditions under the applicable servicing agreements, on a postpetition basis consistent with their past practices and (b) pay all obligations related to the Corporate Credit Card Program, whether arising prepetition or postpetition. The Debtors are further authorized to continue to maintain the CD for purposes of collateralizing any obligations owed under the Corporate Credit Card Program. The Debtors acknowledge, stipulate, and agree that the CD is and shall remain subject to an exclusive first priority lien as security for obligations under the Corporate Credit Card Program. In the event the Debtors default under or fail to make any timely payment in respect of any obligations under the Corporate Credit Card Program, Chase is authorized to exercise any of its remedies under the terms of any applicable agreements with the Debtors governing the Corporate Credit Card Program.

11.            The Debtors are authorized to continue performing Intercompany Transactions arising from or related to the operation of their business in the ordinary course. In connection with the Intercompany Transactions, the Debtors shall maintain records for all transfers of cash so that all transactions (including Intercompany Transactions) can be readily ascertained, traced, recorded properly, and distinguished between prepetition and postpetition transactions, and the Debtors shall make those records available to the U.S. Trustee upon request.

 

12.            The UST Requirement that the Debtors close all existing bank accounts and open new DIP Accounts is hereby waived. The Debtor Bank Accounts are deemed to be DIP Accounts.

 

13.            The UST Requirement that the Debtors open separate DIP Accounts for payroll and taxes is hereby waived on an interim basis.

 

14.            The Debtors are authorized on an interim basis to continue using all checks, correspondence and other business forms, including, but not limited to, purchase orders, multicopy checks, letterhead, envelopes, promotional materials, and other business forms, substantially as they existed immediately before the Petition Date without reference to the Debtors’ status as debtors in possession; provided that once the Debtors’ existing checks have been used, the Debtors will, when reordering checks, ensure that the designation “Debtor in Possession” and the corresponding bankruptcy case number are printed on all checks; provided further that, with respect to electronic checks and checks that the Debtors or their agents print themselves, the Debtors will use reasonable efforts to begin printing the “Debtor in Possession” legend on such items within 10 days of the date of entry of this Interim Order.

Case 20-13076-BLS     Doc 164     Filed 12/18/20     Page 20 of 26

 

15.            For banks that have not signed a Uniform Depository Agreement with the U.S. Trustee, the Debtors have 30 days (or such additional time as the U.S. Trustee may agree to) from the Petition Date (the “Extension Period”) within which to comply with section 345(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or to make such other arrangements as agreed with the U.S. Trustee, and such extension is without prejudice to the Debtors’ right to request a further extension of the Extension Period or waiver of the requirements of section 345(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in these cases. For banks that have signed a Uniform Depository Agreement with the U.S. Trustee, all Debtor Bank Accounts with such banks are deemed to satisfy section 345(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

16.            During the Extension Period, with respect to banks at which the Debtors hold bank accounts that are party to a Uniform Depository Agreement with the U.S. Trustee, the Debtors shall (i) contact each bank; (ii) provide the bank with each of the Debtors’ tax identification numbers; and (iii) identify each of their bank accounts held at such bank as being held by a debtor in possession in a bankruptcy case.

 

17.            Within 30 days of the date of entry of this Interim Order, with respect to banks at which any of the Debtors hold accounts that are not party to a Uniform Depository Agreement with the U.S. Trustee, the Debtor shall use its good-faith efforts to cause the banks to execute a Uniform Depository Agreement in a form prescribed by the U.S. Trustee. The Debtors will promptly direct such banks to internally code the Bank Accounts as DIP Accounts. The U.S. Trustee’s rights to seek relief from this Court on notice in the event that the aforementioned banks are unwilling to execute a Uniform Depository Agreement in a form prescribed by the U.S. Trustee are fully reserved.

Case 20-13076-BLS     Doc 164     Filed 12/18/20     Page 21 of 26

 

18.            The Debtors shall maintain accurate records of all transfers and intercompany claims within the Cash Management System between Debtors such that all postpetition transfers and transactions shall be adequately and promptly documented in, and readily ascertainable from, their books and records.

 

19.             Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Debtors shall calculate their quarterly fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) based on the disbursements of each Debtor, regardless of which Debtor pays those disbursements.

 

20.             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Interim Order, any payment made or authorization hereunder shall be subject to the applicable budget and cash collateral authorization requirements imposed on the Debtors under the terms of any order of this Court approving the debtor-in-possession financing facility and use of cash collateral.

 

21.            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Interim Order, the Debtors are prohibited from taking any action to change (i) the existing sweeps of cash from the Debtor Bank Accounts not held with Chase to the Chase Accounts and (ii) the existing sweeps from the Chase Accounts to the account held with the DIP Agent.

Case 20-13076-BLS     Doc 164     Filed 12/18/20     Page 22 of 26

 

22.           Nothing in the Motion or this Interim Order or the relief granted herein (including any actions taken or payments made by the Debtors) is to be construed as (i) an admission of the validity of any claim against the Debtors; (ii) an admission with respect to the validity, extent, or perfection of any lien; (iii) a waiver of the Debtors’ rights or those of any party in interest to dispute, contest, setoff, or recoup any claim, or assert any related rights, claims, or defenses; (iv) a waiver of the Debtors’ rights or those of any party in interest over the validity, extent, perfection, or possible avoidance of any lien; or (v) an approval or assumption of any agreement, contract, program, policy, or lease under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

23.           The requirements set forth in Bankruptcy Rule 6003(b) are satisfied because the relief sought in this Interim Order is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm.

 

24.            The requirements set forth in Bankruptcy Rule 6004(a) are hereby waived.

 

25.            Notwithstanding the applicability of Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h), the terms and conditions of this Interim Order are immediately effective and enforceable upon its entry.

 

26.            The Debtors are authorized and empowered to take all actions necessary or appropriate to implement the relief granted in this Interim Order.

 

27.             This Court retains jurisdiction over all matters arising from or related to the implementation or interpretation of this Interim Order.
