and the Court having found it has subject matter jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to section 

306(a) of PROMESA; and it appearing that venue in this district is proper pursuant to section 

307(a) of PROMESA; and the Court having found the relief requested in the Urgent Motion is in 

the best interests of the Debtor, its creditors, and other parties in interest; and the Court having 

found the Debtor provided adequate and appropriate notice of the Urgent Motion under the 

circumstances and that no other or further notice is required; and the Court having reviewed the 

Urgent Motion and having heard the statements of counsel in support of the Urgent Motion at an 

interima hearing held before the Court (the “Hearing”); and the Court having determined that the 

legal and factual bases set forth in the Urgent Motion and at the Hearing establish just cause for the 

relief granted herein; and any objections to the relief requestedset forth herein having been 

withdrawn or overruled on the merits; and upon the record herein, after due deliberation thereon, 

the Court having found that good and sufficient cause exists for the granting of the relief as set 

forth herein,

IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED THAT:

3

A. Purpose and Necessity of Financing. The Debtor has an immediate need to 

obtainrequires the financing under the Facility described in the Urgent Motion, subject to and 

consistent with the terms set forth in the Postpetition Credit Agreement substantially in the form 

attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (as amended or modified, the “Credit Agreement”) and the other 

Credit Documents, to finance operating expenses that (i) constitute Eligible Uses and (ii) are 

 

2

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Urgent Motion or the 

Credit Documents, as applicable.

3

Findings of fact shall be construed as conclusions of law, and conclusions of law shall be construed as findings of 

fact, as applicable, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7052.

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:2422-4 Filed:02/06/18 Entered:02/06/18 17:21:13 Desc:

Exhibit B Page 3 of 19

included in the initial 13-week cash flow budget attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and any subsequent 

13-week cash flow budget submitted by the Debtor to the Lender as provided in the Credit 

Agreement and approved by the Lender and the Oversight Board (collectively, the “Budget”). The 

financing under the Facility is necessary to the continued operation of the Debtor and, if it does not 

obtain authorization to enter into the Facility with the Lender and obtain Loans under the Credit 

Documents, both the Debtor and the Lender could suffer immediate and irreparable harm. The 

Debtor is unable to obtain adequate unsecured credit allowable as an administrative expense under 

section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code, or other sufficient secured financing under sections 364(c) or 

(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, on equal or more favorable terms than those set forth in the Credit 

Documents, based on the totality of the circumstances. A loan facility in the amount provided by 

the Credit Documents, at a low rate of interest, is not available to the Debtor without granting the 

Lender a superpriority claimsclaim and a priming lienslien pursuant to sections 364(c)(1) and 

364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code as provided in this Interim Financing Order and the Credit 

Documents. After considering all alternatives, the Debtor has exercised its sound 

businesspermissible judgment as a governmental instrumentality in determining the Facility

represents the best financing available to it at this time and is in the best interests of its 

stakeholders.

B. Preservation of the Value of Collateral. Absent access to the Facility in accordance 

with this Interim Financing Order, the value of the Collateral could be severely and irreparably 

harmed. Access to the Facility, subject to this Interim Financing Order, will preserve, and may 

ultimately enhance, the value of the Collateral, especially due to the Facility’s proceeds being 

limited to payment of Current Expenses permitted by the security agreement to be paid from the 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:2422-4 Filed:02/06/18 Entered:02/06/18 17:21:13 Desc:

Exhibit B Page 4 of 19
4

pledged revenues. Accordingly, any secured claimholders of the Debtor are deemed to be

adequately protected.

C. Good Cause Shown. Good and sufficient cause has been shown for entry of this

Interim Financing Order. The ability of the Debtor to obtain sufficient working capital and 

liquidity under the Credit Documents is vital to the Debtor, its creditors, and its customers, and the 

Lender. The liquidity to be provided under the Credit Documents will enable the Debtor to 

continue to operate in the ordinary course and preserve the value of the Debtor’s assets. Among 

other things, entry of this Interim Financing Order is necessary to maximize the value of the 

Debtor’s assets and to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtor and, accordingly,. 

Accordingly, this Order is in the best interests of the Debtor and its creditors.

D. Good Faith. The terms of the Credit Documents are more favorable to the Debtor

than those available from alternative sources. Based on the totality of the circumstances, the terms 

of the Credit Documents are fair to the Lender and the Debtor. Any obligations under the Facility 

and other financial accommodations made to the Debtor by the Lender pursuant to the Credit 

Documents and this Interim Financing Order shall be deemed to have been extended by the Lender 

in good faith, as that term is used in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in express reliance 

upon the protections offered by section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Lender shall be 

entitled to the full protections of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code if this Interim Financing

Order or any other provision hereof is vacated, reversed, or modified, on appeal or otherwise.

E. Fair Consideration and Reasonably Equivalent Value. The Debtor has received and 

will receive fair and reasonable consideration in exchange for access to the Facility and all other 

financial accommodations provided under the Credit Documents and this Interim Financing Order. 

The terms of the Credit Documents are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtor’s exercise of prudent 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:2422-4 Filed:02/06/18 Entered:02/06/18 17:21:13 Desc:

Exhibit B Page 5 of 19
5

business judgment consistent with its fiduciary duties, and are supported by reasonably equivalent 

value and fair consideration.

E. F. Good Cause for Immediate Entry of Interim Financing Order. Good and 

sufficient cause has been shown for immediate entry of this Interim Financing Order pursuant to 

Bankruptcy Rule 4001(c)(2) and the Local Bankruptcy RulesRelief Essential; Good Cause. The 

authorization granted herein to enter into the Credit Documents and to obtain funds under the 

Facility is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtor. Entry of this Interim 

Financing Order is in the best interests of the Debtor and its creditors because, essential, and 

appropriate for continued operations, and for the management, maintenance and preservation of 

the Debtor’s assets and property as it will, among other things, allow for access to the financing 

necessary for the Debtor to continue to operate and further enhance the Debtor’s prospects for a 

successful restructuringprovide the Debtor with the necessary liquidity to preserve and maximize 

the value of its assets. Good cause has been shown for the relief requested in the Urgent Motion 

and as granted in this Order. Based upon the foregoing findings, acknowledgements, and 

conclusions, and upon the record made before this Court at the Hearing, and good and sufficient 

cause appearing therefor;

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED THAT:
