ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:
Cash Collateral and DIP Loan Contests
Show me the money! Debtors in Chapter 11 cases cannot survive without money to continue operations, pay
vendors and professionals, and work to restructure debt and/or sell assets. Where do those necessary funds
come from? There are really only two sources – cash the debtor has or can generate (in either case,
generally the collateral of the secured lender) or new money coming into estate in the form of a post-
petition debtor-in-possession (DIP) loan. At the very outset of the case, a debtor must obtain a court order
allowing it to use its cash when that cash is the collateral of a third party or must obtain authority from the
court to borrow funds. In either case, what the debtor is permitted or not permitted to do can seal the fate
of a case from the outset. As a result, the battles over the terms of the use of cash collateral or DIP
financing are some of the most hotly contested in the Chapter 11 process. This webinar examines the issue
involved and how the various constituencies fight about them.

ABOUT THIS SERIES:
BANKRUPTCY BATTLE ROYALE 2019 -
COMMON COMMITTEE CONTROVERSIES
No matter how you are involved in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding, there is a real chance you will wind
up litigating some issue. Litigating in bankruptcy court, however, is very different than litigating in any
other federal or state court because the customs, rules and players are all different. This webinar is
designed for the litigator who does not generally find herself in front of a bankruptcy judge As with all
Financial Poise Webinars, each episode in the series episode is delivered in Plain English, bringing you into
engaging, sometimes humorous conversations designed to entertain as they teach. And, as with all
Financial Poise Webinars, each episode in the series is designed to be viewed independently of the other
episodes, so that participants will enhance their knowledge of this area whether they attend one, some, or
all of the episodes.

INTRODUCTION
• Debtor-In-Possession (DIP) Loan (from debtor’s existing or
new lenders)
✓ Necessary where there’s not enough cash flow to operate
long enough to achieve desired goal
✓ Problems with prepetition lenders:
o Typically try to protect prepetition position by cross-
collateralizing the loan
11

INTRODUCTION (cont’d)
o May use “drop dead” triggers to limit ability to
challenge its liens
o May use the DIP financing order to lock up the
sale/plan process to acquire the business or its assets
o Provisions could unduly favor lender because of
leverage disparity with debtor

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
• To protect its cash collateral, secured creditor should request
the debtor provide written assurances it will not use, will
segregate, will reconcile and will account for all cash collateral.
✓ If not provided immediately, request bankruptcy order
prohibiting use of cash collateral
• Code does not provide specific sanctions for unauthorized use
18

Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS (CONT’D)
• If use of cash collateral is contested, debtor will be highly
motivated to settle related litigation because a loss would
likely end an attempt of reorganization
✓ This provides the secured creditor with a leg-up for
negotiating settlement
19

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS (CONT’D)
• Settlement of cash collateral litigation can be structured in 2
ways:
✓ An agreement whereby the secured creditor consents to
the debtor’s use of cash collateral
✓ An agreement whereby the secured creditor makes a new
loan to the debtor

STANDARD FOR EVALUATING AP
In re Martin (8th Circuit) 3-part test:
1. Establish the value of the creditor’s interest in the
collateral
2. Identify the risks to that value resulting from the debtor’s
proposed use, sale, or lease of the collateral
3. Determine whether the debtor’s proposed means of AP
protects value against those risks as nearly as possible in
accordance with the concept of “indubitable equivalence”

1.ESTABLISH THE VALUE OF THE CREDITOR’S
INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL
• Value is the lesser of the value of the collateral or the amount of its
debt (Evidence of both required)
• Oversecured Creditor:
✓ Limited to the amount of its debt (including interest and
attorney’s fees)
• Undersecured Creditor:
✓ Equal to the value of the collateral
25

Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe
2. IDENTIFY THE RISKS TO THAT VALUE RESULTING
FROM THE DEBTOR’S PROPOSED USE, SALE, OR
LEASE OF THE COLLATERAL
Debtor’s proposed use of the secured creditor’s collateral can affect its
value, depending on the collateral type.
• Cash, inventory, and accounts will be used up or consumed in the
business
• Equipment will depreciate
• Real estate may depreciate or even appreciate
26

Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe
3. DETERMINE WHETHER THE PROPOSED
MEANS OF AP PROTECTS VALUE AGAINST
THOSE RISKS
• Means of AP must be equivalent in value to the predicted amount
of impairment
• Type of collateral:
✓ Soft
o Used up or consumed in the operation of the debtor’s
business
27

Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe
3. DETERMINE WHETHER THE PROPOSED
MEANS OF AP PROTECTS VALUE AGAINST
THOSE RISKS
✓ Hard
o Not used up or consumed, such as buildings and machinery
o May depreciate, but will still be around at the end of the
bankruptcy
• If collateral doesn’t depreciate (real estate), may only need AP
against waste
28

Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe
METHODS OF PROVIDING AP
• Replacement Liens
✓ Upon bankruptcy filing, secured creditor’s rights in new
accounts and inventory created after the petition date are cut
off
✓ Most common method for soft collateral
✓ Sufficient only if quality/quantity of postpetition inventory
and receivables are maintained at the same level as the outset
of the case (Won’t happen if debtor continues to lose money
in operation)
29
Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™
Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe
METHODS OF PROVIDING AP
• Periodic Cash Payments
✓ Sufficient for soft collateral and hard collateral if payments
are enough to compensate creditor for diminution in value
30

Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe
METHODS OF PROVIDING AP (cont’d)
• Proposed Use of Cash Collateral
✓ Ex. If the debtor proposes to spend the cash to harvest crops or
fees livestock subject to the creditor’s security interest
• Equity Cushion
✓ Excess value in collateral above the amount of the creditor’s
debt (Common with real estate)
✓ Rarely used with soft collateral but may suffice when used with
other methods of AP

Copyright © 2019 by DailyDAC, LLC d/b/a Financial Poise Webinars™ Receive our free weekly newsletter at www.financialpoise.com/subscribe ABOUT THIS WEBINAR: Cash Collateral and DIP Loan Contests Show me the money! Debtors in Chapter 11 cases cannot survive without money to continue operations, pay vendors and professionals, and work to restructure debt and/or sell assets. Where do those necessary funds come from? There are really only two sources – cash the debtor has or can generate (in either case, generally the collateral of the secured lender) or new money coming into estate in the form of a post- petition debtor-in-possession (DIP) loan. At the very outset of the case, a debtor must obtain a court order allowing it to use its cash when that cash is the collateral of a third party or must obtain authority from the court to borrow funds. In either case, what the debtor is permitted or not permitted to do can seal the fate of a case from the outset. As a result, the battles over the terms of the use of cash collateral or DIP financing are some of the most hotly contested in the Chapter 11 process. This webinar examines the issue involved and how the various constituencies fight about them. 5

This webinar is designed for the litigator who does not generally find herself in front of a bankruptcy judge As with all Financial Poise Webinars, each episode in the series episode is delivered in Plain English, bringing you into engaging, sometimes humorous conversations designed to entertain as they teach. And, as with all Financial Poise Webinars, each episode in the series is designed to be viewed independently of the other episodes, so that participants will enhance their knowledge of this area whether they attend one, some, or all of the episodes. 6
