Jurisdiction and Venue
4.
The Court has jurisdiction to consider this matter pursuant to
28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334, and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware, dated February 29, 2012. This is a core proceeding
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b). Pursuant to Rule 9013-1(f) of the Local Rules of Bankruptcy
Practice and Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 2 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
(the “Local Rules”), the Debtors consent to the entry of a final order by the Court in connection
with this Motion if it is later determined that the Court, absent consent of the parties, cannot enter
final orders or judgments consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution. Venue is
proper before the Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.
Background
5.
On the date hereof (the “Petition Date”), the Debtors commenced with the
Court voluntary cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are
authorized to continue operating their business and managing their properties as debtors in
possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee, examiner,
or statutory committee has been appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases.
6.
Contemporaneously herewith, the Debtors have filed a motion requesting
joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”) and Rule 1015-1 of the Local Rules.
7.
Additional information regarding the Debtors’ business, capital structure,
and the circumstances leading to the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases is set forth in the
Declaration of Deborah Rieger-Paganis in Support of Debtors’ Chapter 11 Petitions and First
Day Relief (the “First Day Declaration”), filed contemporaneously herewith.
Debtors’ Utilities
8.
In the ordinary course of business, the Debtors incur expenses for
telecommunications, cable, and internet (collectively, the “Utility Services”) from two utility
providers (collectively, the “Utility Providers”). A nonexclusive list of the Utility Providers that
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 3 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
provide Utility Services to the Debtors as of the Petition Date is set forth on Exhibit C annexed
hereto (the “Utility Services List”).3
9.
The Debtors maintain a field office primarily responsible for managing day-
to-day operations, and require Utility Services to operate such office. Should any Utility Provider
refuse or discontinue service, even for a brief period of time, the Debtors’ operations would be
severely disrupted, and such disruption would negatively impact the Debtors’ restructuring efforts
to the detriment of all parties in interest. The Debtors require the Utility Services to continue
operating in the ordinary course and servicing the loan portfolio, including important servicing of
PPP loans for the Federal Reserve, Customers Bank, and Cross River Bank.
Adequate Assurance Deposit
10.
As adequate assurance of payment for continued post-petition services, and
to ensure uninterrupted access to the Utility Services, with respect to each Utility Provider, the
Debtors propose to deposit cash in an amount equal to two weeks’ cost of the relevant Utility
Services, calculated using the historical monthly average of payments incurred for the six (6)
months4 prior to the Petition Date (the “Adequate Assurance Deposit”). The Adequate
Assurance Deposit will be funded into a segregated account for the benefit of the Utility Providers
(the “Utility Deposit Account”).
11.
Based on the historical two-week average cost of Utility Services provided
by each Utility Provider during the six (6) months prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors estimate

3 The inclusion of any entity on, or omission of any entity from, the Utility Services List is not an admission by the
Debtors that such entity is, or is not, a utility within the meaning of section 366 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the
Debtors reserve all rights and defenses with respect thereto.
4 The Debtors calculated the Adequate Assurance Deposit based on the historical average cost of the prior six (6)
month period (rather than a twelve month period) for the Utility Services because the Debtors began utilizing
internet services with a new provider and simultaneously reduced the volume of its telecommunications services
approximately six (6) months ago. Accordingly, basing the Adequate Assurance Deposit off of a twelve month
lookback period would not accurately reflect go-forward costs associated with Utility Services.
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 4 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
that their cost of Utility Services for the next 14 days will be approximately $12,300. Accordingly,
as of the Petition Date, the Debtors estimate that the total amount of the Adequate Assurance
Deposit will be approximately $12,300.
12.
The Adequate Assurance Deposit will be placed into the Utility Deposit
Account within 20 days after the Petition Date to be held by the Debtors for the benefit of the
Utility Providers on the Utility Services List during the pendency of these Chapter 11 Cases. The
Adequate Assurance Deposit may be adjusted by the Debtors if the Debtors terminate any of the
Utility Services provided by a Utility Provider, make other arrangements with certain Utility
Providers for adequate assurance of payment, determine that an entity listed on the Utility Services
List is not a utility company as defined by section 366 of the Bankruptcy Code, or supplement the
Utility Services List to include additional Utility Providers.
13.
The Debtors intend to pay all post-petition obligations owed to the Utility
Providers in a timely manner and have sufficient funds to do so. As set forth further herein, the
Debtors submit that the Adequate Assurance Deposit constitutes sufficient adequate assurance to
the Utility Providers in satisfaction of section 366 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Adequate Assurance Procedures
14.
Any Utility Provider that is not paid for post-petition services or is not
satisfied with the Adequate Assurance Deposit may receive payment or request additional or
different adequate assurance of future payment, as applicable, pursuant to the procedures described
below (the “Adequate Assurance Procedures”).
a.
The Debtors will serve a copy of this Motion and the Proposed
Orders on the Utility Providers on the Utility Services List within
two business days after entry of the Proposed Orders.
b.
Subject to entry of the Proposed Orders, the Debtors will deposit the
Adequate Assurance Deposit in the aggregate amount of $12,300
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 5 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
into the Utility Deposit Account within 20 days after the Petition
Date.
c.
The portion of the Adequate Assurance Deposit attributable to each
Utility Provider shall be returned to the Debtors on the earlier of
(i) reconciliation and payment by Debtors of the Utility Provider’s
final invoice in accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law
following the Debtors’ termination of Utility Services from such
Utility Provider and (ii) the effective date of any chapter 11 plan
confirmed in these Chapter 11 Cases.
d.
Any Utility Provider desiring additional assurances of payment in
the form of deposits, prepayments, or otherwise must serve a request
for additional assurance (an “Additional Assurance Request”) on
the following parties: (i) proposed counsel to the Debtors, (a) Weil,
Gotshal & Manges LLP, 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10153
(Attn: Elizabeth Ruocco, Esq. (elizabeth.ruocco@weil.com) and
Chase
A.
Bentley,
Esq.
(chase.bentley@weil.com))
and
(b) Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., One Rodney Square, 920 N.
King Street, Wilmington, DE, 19801 (Attn: Daniel J. DeFranceschi
Esq. (defranceschi@rlf.com) and Zachary I. Shapiro, Esq.
(shapiro@rlf.com)), (ii) the Office of the United States Trustee, 844
King Street, Suite 2207, Wilmington, DE 19801 (Attn: Richard
Schepacarter (richard.schepacarter@usdoj.gov)), and (iii) counsel
for any official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in these
Chapter 11 Cases (collectively, the “Utility Notice Parties”).
e.
The Additional Assurance Request must (i) be made in writing,
(ii) set forth the location(s) for which Utility Services are provided,
the account number(s) for such location(s), and the outstanding
balance for each such account, (iii) explain why the Utility Provider
believes the Adequate Assurance Deposit is not adequate assurance
of payment, (iv) certify the amount that is equal to two weeks of the
Utility Services provided by the Utility Provider to the Debtors,
calculated as a historical average over the six (6) month period
preceding the Petition Date, and (v) certify that the Utility Provider
does not already hold a deposit equal to or greater than two weeks
of Utility Services provided by such Utility Provider.
f.
Upon the Debtors’ receipt of an Additional Assurance Request, the
Debtors will negotiate in good faith with such Utility Provider to try
to resolve such Utility Provider’s Additional Assurance Request.
g.
The Debtors may, without further order from the Court, resolve an
Additional Assurance Request by mutual agreement with a Utility
Provider, and the Debtors may, in connection with any such
agreement, provide a Utility Provider with additional adequate
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 6 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
assurance of payment, including cash deposits, prepayments, or
other forms of security if the Debtors believe that such adequate
assurance is reasonable.
h.
If the Debtors and the Utility Provider are not able to reach an
alternative resolution within 20 days of receipt of the Additional
Assurance Request, the Debtors will request a hearing before the
Court at the next regularly scheduled omnibus hearing to determine
the adequacy of assurances of payment with respect to a particular
Utility Provider (the “Determination Hearing”) pursuant to
section 366(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.
i.
Pending resolution of Additional Assurance Requests and the
Determination Hearing, the Utility Provider filing such Additional
Assurance Request will be prohibited from altering, refusing, or
discontinuing Utility Services to the Debtors on account of unpaid
charges for prepetition services or on account of any objections to
the Adequate Assurance Deposit.
Subsequent Modifications
15.
The Debtors have made an extensive and good faith effort to identify all of
the Utility Providers and include them on the Utility Services List. Nonetheless, certain Utility
Providers may not be listed on the Utility Services List. To the extent the Debtors identify
additional Utility Providers, the Debtors will promptly file amendments to the Utility Services List
and serve copies of the Proposed Orders, as applicable, on any newly identified Utility Providers.
In addition, the Debtors will increase the amount of the Adequate Assurance Deposit to account
for any newly identified Utility Providers. The Debtors request that the Proposed Orders bind all
Utility Providers, regardless of when the Utility Providers are added to the Utility Services List.
Relief Requested Should be Granted
16.
The relief requested in this Motion will ensure the continuation of the
Debtors’ business at this critical juncture as they transition into chapter 11. The relief requested
also provides the Utility Providers with a fair and orderly procedure for determining requests for
additional adequate assurance, without which the Debtors could be forced to address multiple
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 7 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
requests by Utility Providers in a disorganized manner when the Debtors’ efforts should be more
productively focused on continuing to operate and restructure their businesses for the benefit of all
parties in interest.
A.
The Adequate Assurance Deposit Is Sufficient under Section 366 of the
Bankruptcy Code
17.
Section 366 of the Bankruptcy Code is designed for the dual purpose of
protecting debtors from being cut off from utility services after filing for bankruptcy, and providing
utility companies with “adequate assurance” that the debtor will be able to pay for post-petition
services. See H.R. Rep. No. 95-595, at 350 (1978), reprinted in 1978 U.S.C.C.A.N 5963, 6306.
To that end, pursuant to section 366(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, during the first 30 days of a chapter
11 case, a utility company may not alter, refuse, or discontinue service to, or discriminate against,
a debtor solely on the basis of the commencement of a chapter 11 case or unpaid prepetition
amounts. After the first 30 days, however, a utility company may alter, refuse, or discontinue
service if a debtor does not provide adequate assurance of payment for post-petition utility services
in satisfactory form.
18.
Section 366(c)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code defines “assurance of
payment” to mean several enumerated forms of security (e.g., a cash deposit, letter of credit,
certificate of deposit, surety bond, prepayment of utility consumption, or other mutually agreed
upon security), while section 366(c)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code expressly excludes from such
definition an administrative expense priority for a utility’s claim. In addition, section 366(c)(3)(B)
of the Bankruptcy Code provides a list of factors that courts are not to consider when evaluating
whether an adequate assurance deposit payment is in fact adequate. These factors include (i) the
absence of security before the petition date, (ii) the debtor’s history of timely payments, and
(iii) the availability of an administrative expense priority.
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 8 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
19.
Although section 366(c) of the Bankruptcy Code clarifies what does and
does not constitute “assurance of payment” and what can be considered in determining whether
such assurance is adequate, it does not divest this Court of its power to determine what amount, if
any, is necessary to provide adequate assurance of payment to a Utility Provider. See 11 U.S.C. §
366(c). Specifically, section 366(c)(3)(A) states that “[o]n request of a party in interest and after
notice and a hearing, the court may order modification of the amount of an assurance of payment.”
Thus, there is nothing to prevent a court from deciding, on the facts of the case before it, that the
amount required of a debtor to provide adequate assurance of payment to a utility company should
be nominal or even zero. See, e.g., In re Pac-West Telecomm, Inc., Case No. 07-10562 (BLS)
(Bankr. D. Del. May 2, 2007) (Docket No. 39) (approving adequate assurance in the form of one-
time supplemental prepayment to each utility company equal to prorated amount of one week’s
charges). Prior to the enactment of section 366(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, courts frequently made
such rulings pursuant to section 366(b). See Va. Elec. & Power Co. v. Caldor, Inc., 117 F.3d 646,
650 (2d Cir. 1997) (“Even assuming that ‘other security’ should be interpreted narrowly, we agree
with the appellees that a bankruptcy court’s authority to ‘modify’ the level of the ‘deposit or other
security,’ provided for under § 366(b), includes the power to require no ‘deposit or other security’
where none is necessary to provide a utility supplier with ‘adequate assurance of payment.’”).
20.
Although section 366(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code allows a utility provider
to take action if the debtor fails to provide adequate assurance of payment that is “satisfactory” to
the utility, the bankruptcy court is the ultimate arbiter of what is “satisfactory” assurance after
taking into consideration the relationship between the debtor and the utility. See, e.g., In re Penn.
Cent. Transp. Co., 467 F.2d 100, 103–04 (3d Cir. 1972) (affirming the bankruptcy court’s decision
that no utility deposit was necessary where such deposits would “jeopardize the continuing
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 9 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
operation of the [debtor] merely to give further security to suppliers who already [were] reasonably
protected”); see In re Heard, 84 B.R. 454, 459 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. 1987) (holding that because the
utility had not had any difficulty with the debtors during 14 years of service, “the utility need[ed]
no adequate assurance”). Indeed, section 366 of the Bankruptcy Code only requires that assurance
of payment be “adequate,” and courts construing section 366(b) have long recognized that
adequate assurance of payment does not constitute an absolute guarantee of the debtor’s ability to
pay. See, e.g., In re Caldor, Inc., 199 B.R. 1, 3 (S.D.N.Y. 1996) (“Section 366(b) requires . . . the
Bankruptcy Court to determine whether the circumstances are sufficient to provide a utility with
‘adequate assurance’ of payment. The statute does not require an ‘absolute guarantee of
payment.’” (citation omitted)), aff’d sub nom. Va. Elec. & Power Co. v. Caldor, Inc., 117 F.3d 646
(2d Cir. 1997); In re New Rochelle Tel. Corp., 397 B.R. 633, 639 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. 2008)
(“Adequate assurance, however, is not a guarantee of payment; rather, it is intended to guard
against the utility assuming an unreasonable risk of non-payment.”) (citation omitted).
21.
Here, the Utility Providers will be provided adequate assurance against any
risk of nonpayment for future services through the Adequate Assurance Deposit. Further, the
Debtors have established a historical record of timely payments to their Utility Providers. To the
best of the Debtors’ knowledge, there are no defaults or arrearages of any significance for the
Debtors’ undisputed invoices for prepetition Utility Services, other than payment interruptions that
may be caused by the commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Adequate
Assurance Deposit and the Debtors’ ongoing ability to meet obligations as they come due in the
ordinary course provide assurance of the Debtors’ payment of their future obligations to the Utility
Providers. Moreover, termination of the Utility Services could result in the Debtors’ inability to
operate their business to the detriment of all stakeholders, including borrowers who rely on the
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 10 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
Debtors to service their loans. See In re Pilgrim’s Pride Corp., No. 08-45664 (DML), 2009 WL
7313309, at *2 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Jan 4, 2009) (“The consequences of an unexpected termination
of utility service to [the debtors] could be catastrophic.”); In re Monroe Well Serv., Inc., 83 B.R.
317, 321-22 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1988) (noting that without utility service the debtors “would have to
cease operations” and that section 366 of the Bankruptcy Code “was intended to limit the leverage
held by utility companies, not increase it.”).
B.
Adequate Assurance Procedures Are Reasonable and Appropriate
22.
If a Utility Provider does not believe the Adequate Assurance Deposit is
“satisfactory,” such Utility Provider may file an objection or an Adequate Assurance Request
pursuant to the Adequate Assurance Procedures described above. The Adequate Assurance
Deposit Procedures are reasonable because they will ensure that the Utility Services continue
uninterrupted while providing a streamlined process for Utility Providers to challenge the
adequacy of the Adequate Assurance Deposit or seek an alternative form of adequate assurance.
The procedures also outline the remedies available to the Utility Providers to access the deposited
funds, in the unlikely event the Debtors fail to pay for post-petition services. The Court has the
power to approve these Adequate Assurance Procedures pursuant to section 105(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code, which provides that a bankruptcy court “may issue any order, process, or
judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions” of the Bankruptcy Code.
Adequate Assurance Procedures are necessary and appropriate to carry out the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, particularly section 366.
23.
For the foregoing reasons, the Adequate Assurance Deposit and the
Adequate Assurance Procedures are necessary, appropriate, and in the best interests of the Debtors,
their estates, and all other parties in interest in these cases. Accordingly, the Court should grant
the relief requested herein.
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 11 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
C.
Cause Exists to Authorize Debtors’ Financial Institutions to Honor Checks and
Electronic Fund Transfers
24.
The Debtors anticipate having sufficient funds to pay the amounts described
herein in the ordinary course of business using expected cash flows from ongoing business
operations. In addition, under the Debtors’ existing cash management system, the Debtors can
readily identify whether checks or wire transfer requests are payments authorized by the relief
requested in this Motion. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that checks or wire transfer requests,
other than those relating to authorized payments, will not be honored inadvertently and that the
Court should authorize the Banks, when requested by the Debtors, to receive, process, honor and
pay any and all checks or wire transfer requests in respect of the relief requested herein, to the
extent the Debtors have sufficient funds on deposit in their accounts with such Banks, and such
Banks may rely on the representations of the Debtors without any duty of further inquiry and
without liability for following the Debtors’ instructions.
Reservation of Rights
25.
Nothing contained herein is intended or shall be construed as (a) an
admission as to the validity of any claim against the Debtors; (b) a waiver of the Debtors’ or any
appropriate party in interest’s rights to dispute the amount of, basis for, or validity of any claim
against the Debtors; (c) a waiver of any claim or cause of action which may exist against any
creditor or interest holder; or (d) an approval, assumption, adoption, or rejection of any agreement,
contract, lease, program, or policy between the Debtors and any third party under section 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code. Likewise, if the Court grants the relief sought herein, any payment made
pursuant to the Court’s order is not intended to be and should not be construed as an admission to
the validity of any claim or a waiver of the Debtors’ rights to dispute such claim subsequently.
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 12 of 31

RLF1 28018228v.1
Debtors Have Satisfied Bankruptcy Rule 6003(b)
26.
Bankruptcy Rule 6003(b) provides that, to the extent relief is necessary to
avoid immediate and irreparable harm, a Bankruptcy Court may issue an order granting “a motion
to use, sell, lease, or otherwise incur an obligation regarding property of the estate, including a
motion to pay all or part of a claim that arose before the filing of the petition” before 21 days after
the filing of the petition. Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6003(b). As described above, and in the First Day
Declaration, the Debtors would suffer immediate and irreparable harm if the relief sought herein
is not promptly granted. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that the relief requested herein is
necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm, and, therefore, Bankruptcy Rule 6003 is
satisfied.

Bankruptcy Rules 6004(a) and (h)
27.
To implement the foregoing successfully, the Debtors request that the Court
find that notice of this Motion is adequate under Bankruptcy Rule 6004(a) under the circumstances,
and waive the 14-day stay of an order authorizing the use, sale, or lease of property under
Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h). As described above, and in the First Day Declaration, the relief
requested herein is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors.
Accordingly, ample cause exists to justify finding that the notice requirements under Bankruptcy
Rule 6004(a) have been satisfied and to grant a waiver of the 14-day stay imposed by Bankruptcy
Rule 6004(h), to the extent such notice requirements and such stay apply.
Notice
28.
Notice of this Motion will be provided to (a) the Office of the United States
Trustee for the District of Delaware; (b) the holders of the 30 largest unsecured claims against the
Debtors on a consolidated basis; (c) the Federal Reserve Bank; (d) Customers Bank; (e) Cross
River Bank; (f) the United States Department of Justice; (g) the Federal Trade Commission; (h)
Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 8 Filed 10/03/22 Page 13 of 31

the Small Business Administration; (i) the Internal Revenue Service; (j) the Securities and
Exchange Commission; (k) the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware; (l)
the Banks; (m) the Utility Providers; and (n) any party that is entitled to notice pursuant to Local
Rule 9013-1(m) (collectively, the “Notice Parties”). As this Motion is seeking “first-day” relief,
the Debtors will serve copies of this Motion and any order entered in respect of this Motion as
required by Local Rule 9013-1(m). The Debtors believe that no further notice is required.
No Prior Request
29.
No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made by the
Debtors to this or any other court.
