                           Motion of Debtors for Entry of Interim and Final Orders (I) Authorizing
                            Debtors to (A) Continue Using Existing Cash Management System, Bank
                            Accounts, and Business Forms, (B) Implement Changes to Cash
                            Management in the Ordinary Course of Business; and (II) Granting Related
                            Relief [Docket No. 12] (the “Cash Management Motion”).

                   3.       The Debtors request that, prior to the First Day Hearing, the Court enter the

order (the “Joint Administration Order”), attached hereto as Exhibit A, granting the relief

requested in the Joint Administration Motion, including, among other things, consolidating the

above-captioned chapter 11 cases for procedural purposes only.

                   4.       Further, in order to operate their business between the Petition Date and the

First Day Hearing, the Debtors require the ability to continue to manage their cash pursuant to the

Cash Management System (as defined in the Cash Management Motion) in accordance with the

cash management practices sought to be approved as described more fully in the Cash

Management Motion. To that end, the Debtors have prepared an emergency bridge order, a copy

of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Cash Management Bridge Order”), authorizing

the Debtors to use the Cash Management System on an interim basis, as more fully described in

the Cash Management Motion, to the limited extent set forth in the Cash Management Bridge

Order. The Debtors will seek approval of the Cash Management Motion on an interim basis at the

First Day Hearing.

                   5.       As described more fully in the First Day Declaration (as defined in the Cash

Management Motion), the Debtors are a financial services company. Accordingly, absent entry of

the Cash Management Bridge Order, the Debtors are unable to manage their cash pursuant to the

Cash Management System and may suffer immediate and irreparable harm to their operations to

the detriment and prejudice of all parties in interest.

                   6.   The Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware and the

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco each do not oppose the relief granted by the Joint

Administration Order and the Bridge Order.

                   WHEREFORE, the Debtors respectfully request entry of the (i) Joint

Administration Order and (ii) the Bridge Order and such other and further relief as the Court may

deem just and appropriate.
