MEMORANDUM ORDER DENYING THE DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR INTERIM

ORDER AUTHORIZING USE OF CASH COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C.

SECTIONS 105 AND 363(C) AND BANKRUPTCY RULES 2002, 4001 AND 9014

AND NOW, this 2nd day of April, 2007, and after consideration of the pleadings, the

evidence of record, and the arguments of counsel, the Court hereby FINDS, ORDERS, ADJUDGES

and DECREES that the Debtor’s Motion for Interim Order Authorizing Use of Cash Collateral (the

“Motion”) is DENIED without prejudice.

Because the denial of use of cash collateral has a dramatic impact on the Debtor’s continued

operations, the Court has deliberated extensively regarding the merits of the Motion and feels

compelled to set forth the reasons for its decision.

The relief sought by the Debtor’s Motion is two-fold. First, the Debtor’s Motion seeks to

compel Daimler Chrysler Services, Americas, LLC (“Chrysler Financial”) to continue to extend

credit to the Debtor so that the Debtor can continue to replenish its inventory consisting of new cars,

used cars, and parts. However, Chrysler Financial ceased extending credit to the Debtor prior to the

commencement of this case and the Court is unaware of any legal authority by which it could

compel Chrysler Financial to become an involuntary lender to the debtor-in-possession. Indeed,

authority under the Bankruptcy Code appears to be otherwise.

For example, 11 U.S.C.§ 363(b)provides that the debtor may sell, use or lease “property of

the estate.” Funds that a lender owns is not “property of the estate.” Another provision of the

Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 364, appears to not be helpful as this section applies only to voluntary

extensions of credit, and nothing in the statute provides otherwise. Furthermore 11 U.S.C.

§365(c)(2) unequivocally states that financial accommodation contracts are not assumable over the

objection of the non-debtor party. Under these circumstances, the Court is unable to grant the

Debtor’s motion insofar as it seeks to compel Chrysler Financial to extend new financing.

In terms of use of cash collateral, the Debtor has identified two sources of cash collateral

which it would like to use pending a final hearing on the Debtor’s Motion. These two sources

consist of: (a) a pre-petition bank account consisting of approximately $115,000 which represents

proceeds of the sales of inventory (the “Bank Account”); and (b) any proceeds of pre-bankruptcy

inventory which the debtor might sell post-petition in the ordinary course. While the Debtor

produced a budget at the interim hearing on the Motion, the Debtor has not articulated specifically

what necessary expenses it would like to pay in order to avoid irreparable harm pending a final

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

 The Debtor would like to use some of the alleged cash collateral to pay pre-petition wages of the

employees. However, the Debtor has not filed a motion to that effect, and none of the estate’s creditor body has had

notice or opportunity for hearing with respect to the Debtor’s request to pay pre-petition claims.

00000806.WPD -3-

hearing on the Motion (with the exception of payroll in the approximate amount of $47,0001 and

sums in the approximate amount of $68,000 due to clear title to vehicles previously acquired by the

Debtor via trade-in with customers). The Court will therefore assume for purposes of this Order that

the Debtor’s preliminary use request is for sums sufficient to only fund payroll and accrued tradeins.

The two lien creditors holding liens and/or interests on or against the cash collateral are

Chrysler Financial, who is owed in excess of $1.9 million, and Business Loan Center, LLC d/b/a

Business Loan Express (“Business Loans”), who is owed in excess of $1 million. Allegedly,

Chrysler Financial holds a first lien against the following assets of the Debtor: new vehicle

inventory, used vehicle inventory, accounts receivable, and factory rebates. Chrysler Financial

allegedly holds a second lien against the Debtor’s machinery and equipment, while Business Loans

allegedly holds the first lien against machinery and equipment. Business Loans also allegedly holds

a junior lien as to all other remaining assets of the Debtor. The Debtor’s obligations to Business

Loans also are allegedly secured by various assets of affiliates of the Debtor, including the personal

residence and farm owned by the Debtor’s principal and the building out of which the Debtor’s

dealership is operated (and owned by an entity known as Dave Roach Realty, L.P).

As consideration for the Debtor’s continued use of cash collateral, the Debtor proposes to

provide Chrysler Financial monthly payments in the amount of $17,000 and a replacement lien

against all pre-petition and post-petition assets of the Debtor, with the exception of avoidance

actions. With respect to the replacement lien offered to Chrysler Financial, the Debtor proposes that

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

Document Page 3 of 13
00000806.WPD -4-

the replacement lien “prime” Business Loans’ pre-petition lien against machinery and equipment.

The Debtor suggests that the priming nature of the replacement lien is appropriate in the name of

“equity” due to the fact that the Debtor’s obligations to Business Loans is secured by the assets of

various non-debtor parties. With the exception of the continued remittance of monthly mortgage

payments in the amount of $12,661.58, the Debtor’s Motion does not contemplate any consideration

or further adequate protection in favor of Business Loans.

On lack of adequate protection grounds, Chrysler Financial and Business Loans has objected

to the relief requested by the Debtor’s Motion. Chrysler Financial also objects to the Debtor’s

Motion contending that the Bank Account constitutes Chrysler’s property and is not “cash

collateral” which the Debtor may use. Business Loans has also objected to the priming nature of

any lien the Debtor proposes to grant to Chrysler Financial claiming that subordination of Business

Loans’ position is unlawful.

With respect to the replacement lien offered to Chrysler Financial, the Court can discern no

legal basis on which the Debtor can offer a “priming lien.” Such a creature is not created in Section

363 of the Bankruptcy Code, but rather it exists in Section 364(d) of the Code. See 11 U.S.C.§

364(d). Because Chrysler Financial is not proposing to fund the Debtor with any new money, it is

clear to the Court that Section 364(d) relief is not proper in the circumstances presented by this case.

Because Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code is unavailable, the Debtor submits that

general principles of equity jurisprudence supports the Debtor granting a priming replacement lien

in favor of Chrysler Financial to the detriment of Business Loans. The equity jurisprudence cited

by the Debtor includes the doctrines of equitable subordination and marshaling. 

The Court is not in a position to grant such broad sweeping relief in a summary proceeding

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

Document Page 4 of 13
2

 The Court does note that it was suggested that non-debtor parties may have been the beneficiary of the

loans made by Business Loans. See Note 10, infra. For the same reason the Court declines to adjudicate the

Debtor’s putative marshaling claim, the Court declines to adjudicate the avoidability of any claim of Business Loans

by way of motion practice. The Court therefore reserves judgment on this issue if, and to the extent, it would

become relevant.

00000806.WPD -5-

such as this one because the adversary rules plainly provide that equitable relief can only be obtained

by way of judgment in an adversary proceeding and not by way of motion practice. See

Fed.R.Bankr.P. 7001.

Even if the Court could address the equitable claims of the Debtor by way of motion practice,

the Court is not convinced that the Debtor has a strong likelihood of success in any equitable

subordination proceeding because no evidence of wrongful (or egregious) conduct on the part of

Business Loans was presented at the evidentiary hearing on this matter. See Citicorp Venture

Capital, Ltd. v. Committee of Creditors Holding Unsecured Claims (In re Papercraft Corp.), 160

F.3d 982, 986-987 (3d Cir. 1998)(holding that aggrieved party seeking equitable subordination of

creditor’s claims must demonstrate that creditor engaged in inequitable conduct).2

In addition, and without ruling on the ultimate merits of any marshaling claim, it should also

be noted that there is uncertainty in the law as to whether a person other than a secured creditor has

standing to pursue marshaling claims in equity. Sowell v. Federal Reserve Bank, 268 U.S. 449, 456-

57 (1925)(“The equitable doctrine of marshaling rests upon the principle that a creditor having two

funds to satisfy his debt may not, by his application of them to his demand, defeat another creditor,

who may resort to only one of the funds. The debtor may not ordinarily invoke the doctrine, for by

doing so he would disregard the express provisions of his contract on which the creditor is entitled

to rely.”); In re Lomb, 74 B.R. 711 (Bankr. W.D. Pa. 1987)(refusing to order creditor to marshal lien

against non-debtor assets despite request of chapter 7 trustee); contra In re High Strength Steel, Inc.,

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

 Chrysler Financial asserts that the account had at least $120,101.46 on deposit as of March 27, 2007.

Nothing contained in this Order should be deemed or construed to be a finding that Chrysler owns the account free

and clear of claims of third-parties, such as tax claimants and claims of employees. As to the latter, the Court notes

for the record that counsel for Chrysler has indicated that Chrysler has a history of paying dealership employee

claims in situations where Chrysler’s collateral is liquidated.

00000806.WPD -6-

269 B.R. 560 (Bankr. D. Del. 2001).

In any event, the Court concludes that the Debtor has not made a sufficient evidentiary

record so that the Court may make an adjudication with respect to marshaling at this early juncture

of this bankruptcy case. This conclusion is particularly acute since the putative secured creditor

against whom marshaling would be sought has had less than 48 hours notice of the hearing on the

Motion.

With respect to the actual cash collateral that the Debtor contemplates using, the Debtor

seeks to have access to the Bank Account containing at least $115,000.3 The Debtor has not

disputed the fact that the proceeds in the Bank Account are customer proceeds to be held “in trust”

by the Debtor for the benefit of Chrysler Financial. In connection with these proceedings, the

Debtor also did not dispute the fact that the Debtor’s Financing Agreement with Chrysler also

provided that the Debtor agreed to hold such sale proceeds, in whatever form they may be received,

“in trust” for and on behalf of Chrysler Financial, with the Debtor “assuming full fiduciary duties,

responsibilities, and obligations to and in favor of” Chrysler Financial.

Given the trust nature of these proceeds, applicable law of this District is that the funds in

the Bank Account are not property of the estate and do not constitute “cash collateral” for purposes

of the Bankruptcy Code. See e.g. In re Kiesewetter, 337 B.R. 75, 78 (Bankr. W.D. Pa. 2006)(monies

debtor held in trust for benefit of third parties are not property to be administered by the bankruptcy

estate); see also In re Aultman, 223 B.R. 481, 484 (Bankr. W.D. Pa. 1998)(same). Of course, the

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

Document Page 6 of 13

 The Debtor has not contended that the assignment of the Bank Account is a preferential transfer. Even if

the account is arguably preferential, the Debtor does not dispute that the proceeds in the account constitute

Chrysler’s collateral. Therefore, it is questionable that Chrysler has improved its priority position as a result of the

transfer. The Court reserves judgment on this issue if, and to the extent, it becomes justiciable.

00000806.WPD -7-

preceding analysis assumes that the Bank Account remains titled in the name of the Debtor.

However, the undisputed record in this case is that legal title the Bank Account was conveyed to

Chrysler Financial just prior to the commencement of this bankruptcy case on March 19, 2007 when

Chrysler lodged a Notice of Assignment with National City Bank.4

 This additional fact further

undermines the Debtor’s efforts to have access to the Bank Account, and the Debtor has not

articulated a basis in which the Court could compel Chrysler Financial to release it. Consequently,

the Court is left with no choice but to deny the Debtor’s request to use the Bank Account proceeds

and the Debtor has not pointed the Court to any legal authority by which it could conclude

otherwise.

Lastly, by the Motion the Debtor seeks to continue to sell its inventory in the ordinary course

and to use any proceeds generated post-petition to pay payroll and related necessary expenses.

Nothing in the Bankruptcy Code precludes the Debtor from selling, using or leasing its property,

other than cash collateral, in the ordinary course of business. However, because all of the Debtor’s

assets are tied-up by the liens of Chrysler Financial and Business Loans, the Debtor would like to

use the proceeds of sales to fund operations.

Given the objections lodged by Chrysler Financial and Business Loans, the Court can only

authorize the Debtor’s use of such cash collateral if the Debtor can provide the creditors with

“adequate protection” for any loss in value caused by Debtor’s use of it. See 11 U.S.C. § 363(e).

The burden of proof on the issue of adequate protection falls squarely on the Debtor. See 11 U.S.C.

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

Document Page 7 of 13
5 The standard by which the Debtor must beet its burden is that of preponderance of the evidence. In re

McCombs Properties VI, Ltd. 88 B.R. 261 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 1988)

6

 At the preliminary hearing, the principal of the Debtor acknowledged that his principal residence had

value of at least $200,000 above his first mortgage, that his farm had value of at least $600,000 above a firstmortgage, and that the value of the real estate and building on which the Debtor’s business is situate is at least

$800,000 (and possibly as high as $1,000,000). Thus, according to this testimony, the liens and claims of Business

Loans attach to at least $1.6 million in collateral, not to mention the fact that the Business Loan claim is secured by a

guaranty by the Small Business Administration.

7

 To be clear, the cushion must be meaningful because a slim equity cushion which is eroding rapidly may

not constitute adequate protection. In re Liona Corporation, 68 B.R. 761, 768 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1987).

00000806.WPD -8-

§ 363(e).5

The aggregate claims of Chrysler Financial and Business Loans exceed $2.9 million, and the

Debtor’s assets have a present value ranging from $2 million (as valued by Chrysler Financial) to

$2.3 million (as valued by the Debtors). The facts adduced at the preliminary hearing also indicate

that various non-Debtor collateral valued at approximately $1.6 million is pledged in favor of

Business Loans.6

 Thus, in the matter sub judice, it appears that Business Loans is over collateralized

and may be adequately protected. Business Loans nonetheless contends that the existence of nondebtor collateral is irrelevant for purposes of determining whether a creditor is adequately protected.

The Court disagrees.

The existence of a meaningful equity cushion provides adequate protection to a secured

creditor. See In re Snowshoe Co., 789 F.2d 1085 (4th Cir. 1986).7 The cushion itself is not entitled

to protection. In re Delta Resources, Inc., 54 F.3d 722 (11th Cir. 1995); In re Triplett, 87 B.R. 25

(Bankr. W.D. Tex. 1988). 

This law notwithstanding, Business Loans asks that the Court take a blind eye regarding its

over collateralized position in various non-debtor assets. The Court will not do so. The legislative

history to the adequate protection provisions of the Bankruptcy Code expressly refers to guaranties

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

Document Page 8 of 13
00000806.WPD -9-

as a basis for providing adequate protection. H.R. Rep. No. 95-595, 95th Cong., 1st Sess. 340 (1977)

U.S. Code Cong. & Admin. News 1978, p. 5787 (“For example, another form of adequate protection

might be the guarantee by the third party outside the judicial process of compensation for any loss

incurred in the case.”). The Court finds this legislative history to be persuasive and concludes that

valuable assets already pledged by third-parties can constitute adequate protection. In re Diaconx

Corporation, 69 B.R. 333, 339 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1987); In the Matter of Cardell, 88 B.R. 627, 631-32

(Bankr. D. N.J. 1988). Thus, based on the record, the Court concludes that Business Loans is

adequately protected. The Court’s conclusion is particularly acute in light of the fact that it has

previously concluded that no replacement lien in favor of Chrysler Financial may prime any nonavoidable lien already in existence in favor of Business Loans.

With respect to Chrysler Financial, its equity cushion is much smaller than Business Loans.

The equity cushion in favor of Chrysler Financial as of the petition date ranged from approximately

$75,000 to $375,000, depending upon whose valuations the Court accepts. For purposes of this

Opinion, the Court accepts the $75,000 equity cushion value given (a) the prior lien asserted by

Business Loans in machinery and equipment, and (b) lower statements of value made by the

Debtor’s principals in various pre-bankruptcy certifications to Chrysler Financial. This cushion,

however, is subject to continued erosion because the Debtor proposes to sell Chrysler’s car

inventory every day and the Debtor currently has no ability to replace it because the Debtor has no

floor-plan financing or other alternative sources of working capital in place. In addition, the

Debtor’s principal acknowledged on the witness stand that the inventory is depreciating in value

every day, and the Debtor’s pre-petition certifications to Chrysler reflected that the Debtor’s parts

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

Document Page 9 of 13
8

 In February of 2007, the Debtor had certified that its parts inventory was valued at approximately

$66,000, but the Debtor’s Motion suggests that it is valued at approximately $90,000. The Debtor, however,

acknowledged at the evidentiary hearing that Chrysler had placed the Debtor on “credit hold” so the Debtor is not in

a position to replenish its parts inventory.

9

 While the Debtor is actively pursuing a source of post-petition financing, the Debtor has no current

source of working capital to increase its inventory and the Debtor’s principals have refused (or have been unable) to

infuse any new money into the Debtor’s business. Similar to the fact that the Court cannot compel Chrysler to be an

involuntary lender, the Court cannot (in the absence of substantive consolidation) compel non-debtor third-parties to

offer additional assets as adequate protection to the Debtor’s secured creditors. 

10 Apparently each vehicle in the Debtor’s inventory is assigned a “floor plan” value of some sort. The

Debtor assumes that each vehicle will be sold at an amount in excess of the floor plan value.

00000806.WPD -10-

inventory (as pled in the Motion) is overstated significantly.8 Thus, in order for the Debtor to

provide adequate protection to Chrysler, the Debtor must be in a position to offer Chrysler Financial

either (a) additional collateral, or (b) offer periodic cash payments in an amount which at least

equals the diminution of cash collateral value.

With respect to the former (i.e., additional collateral), the Debtor has no additional assets to

pledge to Chrysler Financial.9 As to the latter, the Debtor has submitted to the Court a budget

whereby the Debtor would like to use over $100,000 of Chrysler’s cash collateral on a monthly basis

and yet only $17,000 of additional sale proceeds would be remitted to Chrysler Financial net of any

“floor plan” amounts due Chrysler when vehicles are sold.10 Of course, the $17,000 to be paid to

Chrysler is its collateral regardless of any replacement lien that may be granted in this case. See 11

U.S.C. 552(b).

The Court concludes that the adequate protection proffered by the Debtor in this case to

Chrysler Financial is inadequate. During the interim period proposed by the Debtor, remittances of

sums due Chrysler on account of floor plan amounts for inventory sold post-petition is a wash at best

with respect to the disposition of hard collateral based on liquidation values (and not retail values).

In terms of the alleged “profit” on each sale, the Debtor would like to utilize such projected “profits”

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

Document Page 10 of 13
11 The Court notes that most, if not all, of the loan proceeds received from Business Loans were received

by parties other than the Debtor. Of the $1,060,000 loaned by Business Loans, $720,000 was used by Dave Roach

Realty, L.P. to purchase land and improvements on which the Debtor’s dealership operates and $310,000 used to

fund the acquisition of a business known as Corwin Automotive Group, Inc. As to the latter, the record is unclear as

to whether the Corwin business was purchased directly by the Debtors or some other third-party.

12 The Court does not find the testimony of the Debtor’s principal to be credible as it related to proffered

adequate protection. The Court reaches this conclusion for various reasons, including the reasons set forth above

and because of the following: First, the Debtor’s principal testified that he lacks a sufficient understanding of

accounting and financial statements. Second, the pre-bankruptcy financial statement certified by the Debtor to

Chrysler appears to have several mis-statements. By way of example, the financial statement provided by the Debtor

omitted its indebtedness to Business Loans altogether, even though the loan is a significant obligation. Third, the

Debtor indisputably sold vehicles out-of-trust, despite promising Chrysler that it would not do so. And fourth, the

Debtor’s principal during the weeks or months leading up to the Debtor’s bankruptcy filing affirmatively misled

Chrysler by advising the creditor that the principals had infused $400,000 in capital into the Debtor’s business all

while the principals actually infused nothing.

13 See Ex. E, Objection to Debtor’s Emergency Motion.

00000806.WPD -11-

to pay various expenses, some of which may benefit Chrysler Financial and some may not. For

example, while Chrysler holds a first lien on all proceeds of car sales, the Debtor would like to use

funds received from customers to pay debt service to the Debtor’s subordinate lender Business

Loans. These sums equal at least $12,661.58 per month. How does the Debtor propose adequately

protecting Chrysler Financial for this expenditure?11 It really offers no protection, except wishful

projections of amorphous “profitability,” which the Court finds to be lacking any merit even on a

preliminary basis.12

By way of example, the Debtor’s projection of profitability assumes that the Debtor would

need to sell approximately 33 vehicles per month, and reduce at least $21,000 per month in overhead

in order to have positive cash flow. See Debtor’s Exhibit B. However, the Debtor’s assumptions

appear to be overly generous in that the Debtor “guestimated” an average profit on each of those

vehicles at $2,400 per vehicle. At the evidentiary hearing, Chrysler Financial asserted that during

the eight month period prior to the commencement of this bankruptcy case,13 the Debtor reported

gross “profit” of approximately $1,800 per new car and $1,500 per used car, and the Debtor neither

Case 07-21800-JAD Doc 30 Filed 04/02/07 Entered 04/02/07 16:38:01 Desc Main

Document Page 11 of 13
14 Using the $1,800 “profit” per vehicle number, the Debtor’s projected monthly gross revenues are

$94,200 measured against projected gross expenditures of $100,661.58. The Court inserts quotes around the term

“profit” as the $1,800 is not “profit” at all.

00000806.WPD -12-

disputed these figures nor offered any cognizable basis on which its “profits” could be demonstrably

higher. Using a per vehicle “profit” of $1,800, which is the best case scenario, the Court concludes

that the Debtor’s projected ongoing losses will equal at least $6,461.5814 per month even if every

single one of the Debtor’s aggressive cost savings were successfully implemented. This shortfall

does not even include any costs associated with administering this bankruptcy estate, such as

professional fees, potential unpaid taxes, and statutory U.S. Trustee fees. Thus, the undisputed

evidence presented to the Court at the preliminary hearing on the Debtor’s motion is that the

financial outlook of the Debtor’s financial affairs is bleak.

Given these circumstances, the Court took the Debtor’s Motion under advisement over an

intervening weekend so that it could review the record and discern whether Chrysler Financial has

been provided with any meaningful adequate protection. The Court did so even though it “is the

responsibility of the debtor to propose adequate protection [for the affected creditors]; it is not for

the court to impose adequate protection.” In re Liona Corporation, 68 B.R. at 766 (citing 2 Collier

on Bankruptcy ¶ 360.01[2], at 361-8 (15th ed. 1986)). Based on the Court’s review and deliberation,

the Court could not discern any further adequate protection that it could order under the existing

facts of this case. Under these circumstances, the Court has been put in the unenviable position of

concluding that the Debtor does not have a reasonable likelihood of prevailing at any final hearing

on the Debtor’s Motion. See 11 U.S.C. §§ 363(c)(3) and 363(e).

THEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above, the Court hereby ORDERS, ADJUDGES and

DECREES, that the Debtor’s Motion is DENIED without prejudice. In the event the Debtor is in

a position to offer further adequate protection to affected creditors, upon the filing of an appropriate

motion on or before April 13, 2007, the Court will hold a final hearing on the Motion on April 27,
