The above-captioned debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”) 

respectfully state as follows in support of this motion (this “Motion”): 

Introduction

1. The Debtors request authority to: (a) enter into a senior secured loan facility in an 

aggregate principal amount of up to $8.0 million (the “DIP Facility”) with the DIP Lender (defined 

below), with up to $1.3 million available on an interim basis; (b) to use cash collateral of the DIP 

Lender and to continue to use purported cash collateral of the Debtors’ prepetition lenders under 

the terms of the Interim DIP Order (defined below); and (c) grant adequate protection to the 

Prepetition Lenders (defined below). 

2. The DIP Facility will provide the Debtors with sufficient liquidity to fund their 

business operations and administrative expenses during the contemplated duration of these chapter 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 2 of 92

4878-1562-0510 

11 cases. If approved, the Debtors will use the proceeds of the DIP Facility to, among other things, 

honor employee wages and benefits, procure goods and services, fund general and corporate 

operating needs and the administration of these chapter 11 cases, all in accordance with a budget 

agreed to by the Debtors and the DIP Lender (the “Approved Budget”) attached as Exhibit 2 to the 

form of proposed interim order attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Interim DIP Order”). 

3. The Debtors and their estates would suffer immediate and irreparable harm if they 

were denied the financing needed to sustain on-going business operations during the critical first 

weeks of these cases. The DIP Facility ensures that the Debtors will have sufficient funding to 

continue to operate uninterrupted in these chapter 11 cases as they work towards a sale of their 

assets or a stand-alone restructuring. Further, as set forth in the Declaration of Mark Shapiro in 

support of this Motion, filed contemporaneously herewith, the terms of the DIP Facility are 

reasonable under the circumstances, and were the product of good faith, arm’s length negotiations. 

4. The Debtors believe that approval of the DIP Facility will maximize the value of 

the Debtors’ estates for the benefit of all stakeholders and is an exercise of sound business 

judgment. Accordingly, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court approve the relief requested 

herein and enter an interim order substantially in the form of the Interim DIP Order attached hereto 

and a final order (the “Final DIP Order,” and together with the Interim DIP Order, the “DIP 

Orders”). 

Jurisdiction and Venue 

5. This Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334, and this 

is a core matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b). 

6. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 

7. The bases for the relief requested herein are sections 105, 361, 362, 363, 364, 503, 

and 507 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101–1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”),

rules 2002, 4001, 6003, 6004, and 9014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure 

(the “Bankruptcy Rules”), and Section D of the Procedures for Complex Cases in the Northern 

District of Texas (the “Complex Case Procedures”). 

Background 

8. The Debtors provide pioneering software specifically geared towards 

ophthalmology and optometry practices. The Debtors’ software, including iMedicWare 

(ophthalmology) and My Vision Express (optometry), provides practice management, point of 

sale, electronic health records, surgical scheduling, revenue cycle management, and reporting 

solutions. With over 5,000 physician and 2,000 practice clients representing an aggregate of over 

25 million individual patients, the Debtors are one of the leading technology solutions providers 

for eye care practices. 

9. On January 16, 2024 (the “Petition Date”), each Debtor filed a voluntary petition 

for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are operating as debtors in 

possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ chapter 

11 cases are being jointly administered. No request for the appointment of a trustee or examiner 

has been made in these chapter 11 cases, and no official committee has been appointed. 

10. A detailed description of the Debtors and their businesses, and the facts and 

circumstances supporting this Motion and the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, are set forth in the 

Declaration of Sophia Turrell, Chief Executive Officer, in Support of Chapter 11 Petitions and 

First Day Motions [Docket No. 14] (the “First Day Declaration”).

period beginning as of the week of the Petition Date, on a line item basis, including, 

among other things, expected draws under the DIP Facility, available cash, trade payables 

and ordinary course expenses, fees and expenses relating to the DIP Facility, fees and 

expenses related to the Chapter 11 Case (including US Trustee fees and professional fees), 

which Budget shall be in form and substance satisfactory to and approved by the DIP 

Lender. The Budget is attached to the Interim DIP Order as Exhibit 2. 

Variance Covenant

Bankruptcy Rule 

4001I(l)(B)

Permitted Variance. The term “Permitted Variances” will mean, for the first full week 

period after the Closing Date, to be tested on the third business day of each week 

following the end of such week period (the “Initial Testing Period”) and for the Applicable 

Rolling Period (as defined below) after the Initial Testing Period (each such period after 

the Initial Testing Period, together with the Initial Testing Period, the “Testing Periods”): 

(i) all favorable variances, and (ii) an unfavorable variance of no more than 10% for actual 

operating disbursements (on an aggregate basis), in each case as compared to the budgeted 

disbursements, respectively, set forth in the Budget with respect to the applicable Testing 

Period; notwithstanding the foregoing, Professional Fees shall be excluded from the 

determination of Permitted Variances. The Permitted Variances with respect to each 

Testing Period shall be determined and reported to the DIP Lender not later than 5:00 p.m. 

Central Time on the third business day of each week immediately following the end of 

each such Testing Period. Additional variances, if any, from the Budget, and any proposed 

changes to the Budget, shall be subject to the approval of the DIP Lender. Variances will 

be reported on a cumulative basis matching the relevant Applicable Rolling Period in a 

format replicating the Budget and will include explanation of variances (including 

whether they are permanent or temporal in nature). Variances will be carried over across 

Applicable Rolling Periods solely to the extent they are permanent in nature. “Applicable 

Rolling Period” means, (i) for the Initial Testing Period, the most recently completed 

calendar week, (ii) for the second Testing Period after the Closing Date, the most recently 

completed two calendar weeks, (iii) for the third Testing Period after the Closing Date, 

the most recently completed three calendar weeks and (iv) for each Testing Period 

thereafter, the most recently completed four calendar weeks.

Without further order from the Bankruptcy Court, and subject to the terms of the Interim 

Order and the Final DIP Order (including in respect of any required notices), the automatic 

stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be vacated and modified to 

the extent necessary to permit the DIP Lender to exercise, upon the occurrence and during 

the continuance of any Event of Default under their respective DIP Loan Documents, all 

rights and remedies provided for in the DIP Loan Documents, and to take any or all of the 

following actions without further order of or application to the Bankruptcy Court (as 

applicable): (a) immediately terminate the Debtors’ limited use of any cash collateral; (b) 

cease making any DIP Loan under the DIP Facility to the Debtors; (c) declare all DIP 

Obligations to be immediately due and payable; (d) freeze monies or balances in the 

Debtors’ accounts (and, with respect to the DIP Credit Agreement and the DIP Facility, 

sweep all funds contained in the Controlled Accounts); (e) immediately set-off any and 

all amounts in accounts maintained by the Debtors with the DIP Lender against the DIP 

Obligations, or otherwise enforce any and all rights against the DIP Collateral in the 

possession of any of the applicable DIP Lender, including, without limitation, disposition 

of the DIP Collateral solely for application towards the DIP Obligations; and (f) take any 

other actions or exercise any other rights or remedies permitted under the Interim Order 

and the Final DIP Order, the DIP Loan Documents or applicable law to effect the 

repayment of the DIP Obligations; provided, however, that the DIP Lender must provide 

the Debtors, the U.S. Trustee and any official committee with five (5) calendar days’ 

written notice (which may be by email) and file such notice of the Docket of the Chapter 

11 Cases before exercising any enforcement rights or remedies; provided, further, that 

neither the Debtors, any statutory committee nor any other party-in-interest shall have the 

right to contest the enforcement of the remedies set forth in the Interim Order and the 

Final DIP Order and the DIP Loan Documents, other than to argue that an Event of Default 

and/or a Termination Date has not occurred. 

The Debtors shall waive any right, without the prior written consent of the DIP Lender, to 

seek relief under the Bankruptcy Code, including under section 105 thereof, to the extent 

such relief would restrict or impair the rights and remedies of the DIP Lender set forth in 

the Interim Order and the Final DIP Order and in the DIP Loan Documents.

The Debtors’ Prepetition Purported Secured Debt 

13. Between 2014 and 2017, certain of the Debtors entered into allegedly secured term 

loan agreements (collectively, the “Prepetition Term Loans”) with various entities related to GHTG 

Investment, LLC (collectively, the “Prepetition Lenders”) for the purpose of acquiring certain 

other Debtor entities. Each Prepetition Term Loan, if truly debt, is due at maturity, bears interest 

at rates of 5–5.50% per annum and matures in either June 2029 or December 2029. As of the 

Petition Date, the purported outstanding aggregate principal and interest due under the Prepetition 

Term Loans is approximately $118 million. The Debtors have no other long-term debt obligations. 

14. Certain of the Prepetition Term Loans are purportedly secured by the membership 

interests and books and records of the borrowing and acquired entities, and all proceeds, supporting 

obligations, and products of the foregoing. Certain others are purportedly secured by substantially 

all of the borrowers’ assets. However, as discussed more fully below, the relevant Prepetition 

Lenders do not appear to be fully perfected. A chart listing each Prepetition Term Loan is attached 

to the First Day Declaration as Exhibit C. 

15. The Prepetition Term Loan documents generally attempt to grant security interests 

to the Prepetition Lenders in substantially all of certain Debtors’ assets. However, putting aside 

any other infirmities in the claims, lien grants or the UCC-1 financing statements, the Prepetition 

Lenders have not properly perfected their liens in the Debtors’ cash because the Prepetition 

Lenders do not “control” the deposit accounts: (a) there are no deposit account control agreements 

(“DACAs”) in place with respect to any of the Debtors and (b) the Prepetition Lenders are not 

banks and, thus, there are no deposit accounts residing at any of the Prepetition Lenders in which 

the Debtors deposit cash. Further lien and perfection (imperfection) issues are present as well 

because for certain of the Debtors, no UCC-1 financing statement was filed at all, and in other 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 15 of 92
16 

4878-1562-0510 

instances, UCC-1 financing statements extend only to a pledge of the stock/membership interests 

in certain subsidiaries and not to any assets of the borrower or the subsidiary in question. 

16. Attached as Exhibit B hereto is a chart showing, among other things, which 

Debtors have financing statements filed against them, and the scope of the collateral set forth in 

the applicable UCC-1 financing statement. Entries in yellow highlights indicate that an “all asset” 

UCC-1 financing statement was field with respect to the Debtor in question. Entries in green 

highlights indicate that a filed all asset UCC-1 financing statement has expired and not been 

continued. The one entry in in blue highlight indicates a UCC-1 financing statement filed by an 

unrelated third-party equipment financier, which the Debtors do not seek to prime or otherwise 

disturb.5

 Again, however, there are no DACAs in place for any of the Debtors’ deposit accounts, 

and deposit accounts are not held at or by any of the Prepetition Lenders, thereby rendering the 

Prepetition Lenders unperfected and unsecured as to the Debtors’ cash and bank accounts. See, 

e.g., N.C. GEN. STAT. §§ 25-9-104(a) (setting forth how a secured party has “control” over a deposit 

account”); 25-9-203(b)(3)(d) (providing that a secured lender must have “control” over a deposit 

account as a required element of an enforceable security interest); FLA. STAT. §§ 679.1041(setting 

forth how a secured party has “control” of a deposit account); 679.2031(2)(c)(4) (providing that a 

secured lender must have “control” over a deposit account as a required element of an enforceable 

security interest). 

17. As a consequence, because the Prepetition Lenders do not have a properly perfected 

lien on the Debtors’ cash—and thus cannot meet their burden of proof under section 363(p) of the 

Bankruptcy Code—they are not entitled to adequate protection for the Debtors’ postpetition use of 

5

 Exhibit B is a summary only, provided for the convenience of the Court and parties in interest. Nothing in Exhibit B 

is intended to be, nor shall it in any way be deemed to be, a waiver or an admission by the Debtors of any matter of 

fact or law. The Debtors reserve all rights with respect to the Prepetition Lenders and their respective liens and claims 

in every way.

cash. Out of an abundance of caution, however, the Debtors nonetheless seek to provide the 

Prepetition Lenders with replacement liens as adequate protection on an interim basis, pending 

entry of the Final DIP Order and a determination by the Court as to the validity, priority and extent 

of their alleged liens on the Debtors’ cash and other assets (collectively, the “Prepetition 

Collateral”). 

18. Further, the Prepetition Lenders are all insiders of Global Growth Holdings, Inc. 

(“Global Growth”) and its affiliates (including the individual behind Global Growth, Greg 

Lindberg), the private equity firm that was the prior indirect owner of the Debtors before the 

Debtors were transferred into an irrevocable trust on or about July 22, 2021, called the “ECL 

Trust.” The ECL Trust, since its formation, has been the sole member of Eye Care Leaders 

Holdings Portfolio, LLC (“HoldCo”), the Debtors’ ultimate parent, as set forth in HoldCo’s 

Amended and Restated Operating Agreement also dated July 22, 2021. 

19. As a result of this insider relationship, and the multiple proceedings and allegations 

against Global Growth, Mr. Lindberg and various affiliates,6

 the Debtors believe that the claims

and liens allegedly held by the Prepetition Lenders are subject to recharacterization and/or 

equitable subordination. The Debtors expect to bring those issues to the Court for determination 

in short order.7

The DIP Facility 

I. The Debtors’ Need for Access to Financing and Use of Cash. 

20. As described in the First Day Declaration, the Debtors require immediate access to 

cash and financing under the DIP Facility to ensure they can continue operating during these 

chapter 11 cases and preserve the value of their estates for the benefit of all parties in interest. 

Without immediate postpetition financing and access to cash, the Debtors will be unable to 

continue paying wages to their employees, paying vendors for equipment and services, meeting 

working capital and business operating needs, preserving and maximizing the value of their estates, 

and administering these chapter 11 cases, all of which will cause immediate and irreparable harm 

to the value of the Debtors’ estates to the detriment of all stakeholders. Moreover, sufficient postpetition financing is necessary to send a strong market signal that these chapter 11 cases are wellfunded and that the Debtors will continue to operate without disruption while they are 

reorganizing. Otherwise, customers may seek alternative products and services, and vendors and 

suppliers may refuse to do business with the Debtors, which is a value destructive proposition. 

21. As set forth in the Approved Budget, to ensure such liquidity, the Debtors seek 

authorization to utilize cash and draw $1.3 million on an interim basis ($300,000 of which will be 

retained by the DIP Lender as its origination fee, as set forth in the DIP Term Sheet and the 

“material terms” chart above), and an aggregate of up to $8.0 million in on a final basis upon entry 

7

 In that regard, it is also worth noting that there appear to be other defects in the liens allegedly held by the Prepetition 

Lenders. As set forth previously, the Debtors reserve all rights with respect to the Prepetition Lenders’ claims and 

liens.

4878-1562-0510 

of the Final DIP Order.8 The Debtors believe the DIP Facility is essential to preserve and maximize 

the value of their estates, and responsibly administer these chapter 11 cases. 

A. Alternative Sources of Financing Are Not Available on Better Terms. 

22. The Debtors engaged B. Riley Advisory as their financial advisor in mid-to-late 

December 2023 to provide financial advisory services, which services include exploring financing 

options to address the Debtors’ liquidity constraints. To that end, as described more fully in the 

Shapiro Declaration, during the prepetition period, B. Riley Advisory contacted approximately 58 

sources for a potential DIP loan and/or to serve as a potential buyer of the Debtors’ assets, 

comprised of 22 strategics in the industry (who could serve as a potential stalking horse bidder for 

the Debtors’ assets, a DIP lender, or both) as well as 36 more traditional non-strategic sources of 

financing. Approximately 34 entities signed a nondisclosure agreement and were provided access 

to a confidential data room. Of those entities, to date, only one—the DIP Lender—presented any 

proposal that was a realistic or actionable proposal under the Debtors’ timing and under the present 

circumstances. Shapiro Decl.¶ 15. 

23. As a consequence, and given time and liquidity constraints, the Debtors determined 

that the DIP Facility was the best financing alternative available under the circumstances because, 

among other things, it: (i) provides sufficient financing to meet the Debtors’ liquidity needs; and 

(ii) allows the Debtors to immediately work towards either a stand-alone restructuring or a sale of 

their assets, in either or both cases, maximizing value for all constituents.9

 

8

 If the DIP Lender is denied priming liens on the assets of the Allegedly Encumbered Debtors, the aggregate amount 

of the DIP Commitment may be reduced, at the DIP Lender’s sole discretion. 

9

 That said, between the time of the Interim Hearing and Final Hearing, B. Riley will continue to “shop the DIP” to 

ensure that the Debtors ultimately seek final approval of the best and most favorable financing terms available. 

Shapiro Decl. ¶15.

4878-1562-0510 

24. The Debtors would further demonstrate that the terms of the DIP Facility are fair, 

reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and are in accordance with current market 

terms and further, that the DIP Facility is fair, reasonable, an exercise of sound business judgment, 

and necessary to avoid irreparable harm during the course of these Chapter 11 Cases. Further, as 

set forth in Shapiro Declaration, the Milestones contained in the DIP Financing, although slightly 

tight, are nonetheless reasonable and achievable, and will assist in expending the Debtors’ 

emergence from chapter 11. Shapiro Decl. ¶ 18. 

Basis for Relief 

I. The Debtors Should Be Authorized to Obtain Postpetition Financing. 

A. Entry into the DIP Term Sheet and DIP Loan Documents Is an Exercise of the 

Debtors’ Sound Business Judgment. 

25. The Court should authorize the Debtors to enter into the DIP Term Sheet and other 

DIP Loan Documents, obtain access to the DIP Facility, and continue using cash. Courts grant a 

debtor in possession considerable deference in acting in accordance with its business judgment in 

obtaining postpetition secured credit, so long as the agreement to obtain such credit does not run 

afoul of the provisions of, and policies underlying, the Bankruptcy Code. See, e.g., In re N. Bay 

Gen. Hosp., Inc., No. 08-20368 (Bankr. S.D. Tex. July 11, 2008) (order approving postpetition 

financing on an interim basis as exercise of debtors’ business judgment); In re L.A. Dodgers 

LLC, 457 B.R. 308, 313 (Bankr. D. Del. 2011) (“[C]ourts will almost always defer to the business 

judgment of a debtor in the selection of the lender.”); In re Ames Dep’t Stores, Inc., 115 B.R. 34, 40 

(Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1990) (“[C]ases consistently reflect that the court’s discretion under section 364 

is to be utilized on grounds that permit reasonable business judgment to be exercised so long as 

the financing agreement does not contain terms that leverage the bankruptcy process and powers 

or its purpose is not so much to benefit the estate as it is to benefit a party-in-interest.”).

4878-1562-0510 

26. Specifically, to determine whether the business judgment standard is met, a court 

need only “examine whether a reasonable business person would make a similar decision under 

similar circumstances.” In re Exide Techs., 340 B.R. 222, 239 (Bankr. D. Del. 2006); see also In re 

Curlew Valley Assocs., 14 B.R. 506, 513–14 (Bankr. D. Utah 1981) (noting that courts should not 

second guess a debtor’s business decision when that decision involves “a business judgment made 

in good faith, upon a reasonable basis, and within the scope of the debtor’s authority under the 

[Bankruptcy] Code”). 

27. Furthermore, in considering whether the terms of postpetition financing are fair and 

reasonable, courts consider the terms in light of the relative circumstances of both the debtor and 

the potential lender. See In re Farmland Indus., Inc., 294 B.R. 855, 886 (Bankr. W.D. Mo. 2003) 

(while many of the terms favored the DIP lenders, “taken in context, and considering the relative 

circumstances of the parties,” the court found them to be reasonable); see also Unsecured 

Creditors’ Comm. Mobil Oil Corp. v. First Nat’l Bank & Trust Co. (In re Elingsen McLean Oil 

Co., Inc.), 65 B.R. 358, 365 n.7 (W.D. Mich. 1986) (recognizing a debtor may have to enter into 

“hard bargains” to acquire funds for its reorganization). The Court may also appropriately take 

into consideration non-economic benefits to the Debtors offered by a proposed postpetition facility. 

For example, in In re ION Media Networks, Inc., the bankruptcy court for the Southern District of 

New York held that: 

Although all parties, including the Debtors and the Committee, are naturally 

motivated to obtain financing on the best possible terms, a business decision 

to obtain credit from a particular lender is almost never based purely on 

economic terms. Relevant features of the financing must be evaluated, 

including non economic elements such as the timing and certainty of 

closing, the impact on creditor constituencies and the likelihood of a 

successful reorganization. This is particularly true in a bankruptcy setting 

where cooperation and establishing alliances with creditor groups can be a 

vital part of building support for a restructuring that ultimately may lead to 

a confirmable reorganization plan. That which helps foster consensus may

be preferable to a notionally better transaction that carries the risk of 

promoting unwanted conflict. 

No. 09-13125, 2009 WL 2902568, at *4 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. July 6, 2009) (emphasis added). 

28. The Debtors’ determination to move forward with the DIP Facility is an exercise of 

their sound business judgment. The DIP Facility will allow the Debtors to: (a) fund capital 

expenditures that are essential to the Debtors’ continuation as a going concern; (b) provide the 

liquidity necessary to continue favorable trade terms with vendors and to reassure other 

stakeholders; (c) fund payroll obligations; (d) fund the administrative cost of these chapter 11 

cases; and (e) provide a path to a stand-alone restructuring or a sale of assets, or a combination of 

the two. The Debtors negotiated the DIP Term Sheet with the DIP Lender in good faith, at arm’s 

length, and with the assistance of their respective advisors, and the Debtors believe that they have 

obtained the best financing available under the circumstances. 

B. The Debtors Should Be Authorized to Grant Liens and Superpriority Claims. 

29. The Debtors propose to obtain financing under the DIP Facility by providing 

security interests and liens as set forth herein and in the DIP Term Sheet pursuant to sections 364(c) 

and (d) of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, the Debtors propose to provide to the DIP Lender 

postpetition security interest in and liens on the DIP Collateral (as defined in the Interim Order) 

that are valid, perfected, allowed, enforceable, non-avoidable and not subject to challenge, dispute 

or subordination immediately upon entry of the Interim DIP Order; provided that pending entry of 

the Final DIP Order, the DIP Lenders’ liens on the assets of the Allegedly Encumbered Debtors 

shall be junior liens pursuant to section 364(c)(3). 

30. The above-described liens on encumbered and unencumbered assets are common 

features of postpetition financing facilities, and as set forth in greater detail in the Shapiro 

Declaration, Shapiro Decl. ¶¶ 11, 12, were a necessary feature here to provide security for the 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

4878-1562-0510 

proposed financing. The statutory requirement for obtaining postpetition credit under section 

364(c) is a finding, made after notice and hearing, that a debtor is “unable to obtain unsecured 

credit allowable under Section 503(b)(1) of [the Bankruptcy Code].” 11 U.S.C. § 364(c). See In 

re Crouse Grp., Inc., 71 B.R. 544, 549 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1987) (secured credit under section 364(c) 

of the Bankruptcy Code is authorized, after notice and hearing, upon showing that unsecured credit 

cannot be obtained). Courts have articulated a three-part test to determine whether a debtor is 

entitled to financing under section 364(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, courts look to 

whether: 

a. the debtor is unable to obtain unsecured credit under section 364(b) 

of the Bankruptcy Code, i.e., by allowing a lender only an 

administrative claim; 

b. the credit transaction is necessary to preserve the assets of the estate; 

and 

c. the terms of the transaction are fair, reasonable, and adequate, given 

the circumstances of the debtor-borrower and proposed lenders. 

See In re L.A. Dodgers LLC, 457 B.R. 308 (Bankr. D. Del. 2011); In re Ames Dep’t Stores, 115 

B.R. 34, 37–40 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1990); see also In re St. Mary Hosp., 86 B.R. 393, 401–02 (Bankr. 

E.D. Pa. 1988); Crouse Grp., 71 B.R. at 549. 

31. As described above and as set forth in the Shapiro Declaration, no third-party lender 

was willing to provide postpetition DIP financing on an unsecured, pari passu, or junior-lien basis, 

other than the DIP Lender as set forth herein, in the DIP Term Sheet and in the form of Interim 

DIP Order. See Shapiro Decl. ¶¶ 10, 17. 

32. Absent the DIP Facility, which will provide assurances that the Debtors will have 

sufficient liquidity to administer these chapter 11 cases, the value of the Debtors’ estates would be 

significantly impaired to the detriment of all stakeholders. See Shapiro Decl. ¶ 10. Without 

postpetition financing, the Debtors lack sufficient funds to operate their enterprise for anything 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 23 of 92
24 

4878-1562-0510 

other than a short-term basis, continue paying their debts as they come due, and cover the projected 

costs of these chapter 11 cases. See Shapiro Decl. ¶¶ 10, 17. Given the Debtors’ circumstances, 

the Debtors believe that the terms of the DIP Facility, as set forth in the DIP Term Sheet, are 

reasonable as more fully set forth above and in the Shapiro Declaration. For all these reasons, the 

Debtors submit that they have met the standard for obtaining postpetition financing. 

33. In the event that a debtor is unable to obtain unsecured credit allowable as an 

administrative expense under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, section 364(c) of the 

Bankruptcy Code provides that a court “may authorize the obtaining of credit or the incurring of 

debt (a) with priority over any or all administrative expenses of the kind specified in section 

503(b) or 507(b) of [the Bankruptcy Code]; (b) secured by a lien on property of the estate that is 

not otherwise subject to a lien; or (c) secured by a junior lien on property of the estate that is subject 

to a lien.” As described above, the Debtors are unable to obtain unsecured credit. Therefore, 

approving a superpriority claim in favor of the DIP Lender is reasonable and appropriate. 

34. Further, section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a debtor may obtain 

credit secured by a senior or equal lien on property of the estate already subject to a lien, after 

notice and a hearing, where the debtor is “unable to obtain such credit otherwise” and “there is 

adequate protection of the interest of the holder of the lien on the property of the estate on which 

such senior or equal lien is proposed to be granted.” 11 U.S.C. § 364(d)(1). The Debtors may 

incur “priming” liens under the DIP Facility if either (a) the prepetition lender has consented or 

(b) the prepetition lender’s interests in collateral are adequately protected. See Anchor Savs. Bank 

FSB v. Sky Valley, Inc., 99 B.R. 117, 122 (N.D. Ga. 1989) (“[B]y tacitly consenting to the 

superpriority lien, those [undersecured] creditors relieved the debtor of having to demonstrate that 

they were adequately protected.”). 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 24 of 92
25 

4878-1562-0510 

35. Here, the Prepetition Lenders have not agreed to priming. Consequently, as stated 

above, for purposes of the Interim DIP Order only, the DIP Lender has agreed to take a junior lien 

on the assets of the Allegedly Encumbered Debtors, pending the Final Hearing. At the Final 

Hearing, if the matter is not resolved in advance, the Debtors will seek to prime the Prepetition 

Lenders for several reasons including that (i) the Prepetition Lenders do not have a perfected lien 

on cash and cannot meet their burden to prove the same; and (ii) there appear to be valid bases to 

recharacterize and/or subordinate the alleged liens and claims of the Prepetition Lenders. . In the 

event the DIP Lender is not granted a senior priming liens on the assets of the Allegedly 

Encumbered Debtors as part of the Final DIP Order, the DIP Lender reserves the right to lower the 

DIP Commitment in its sole discretion. 

36. In the interim, the Debtors respectfully submit that providing the Prepetition 

Lenders with replacement liens on the Prepetition Collateral should be more than sufficient 

adequate protection pending the Final Hearing. 

C. No Comparable Alternative to the DIP Facility Are Reasonably Available on 

More Favorable Overall Terms. 

37. A debtor need only demonstrate “by a good faith effort that credit was not available 

without” the protections afforded to potential lenders by sections 364(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

In re Snowshoe Co., Inc., 789 F.2d 1085, 1088 (4th Cir. 1986); see also In re Plabell Rubber Prods., 

Inc., 137 B.R. 897, 900 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio 1992). Moreover, in circumstances where only a few 

lenders likely can or will extend the necessary credit to a debtor, “it would be unrealistic and 

unnecessary to require [the debtor] to conduct such an exhaustive search for financing.” In re Sky 

Valley, Inc., 100 B.R. 107, 113 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. 1988), aff’d sub nom. Anchor Sav. Bank FSB v. 

Sky Valley, Inc., 99 B.R. 117, 120 n.4 (N.D. Ga. 1989); see also In re Snowshoe Co., 789 F.2d 

1085, 1088 (4th Cir. 1986) (demonstrating that credit was unavailable absent the senior lien by 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 25 of 92
26 

4878-1562-0510 

establishment of unsuccessful contact with other financial institutions in the geographic area); In 

re Stanley Hotel, Inc., 15 B.R. 660, 663 (D. Colo. 1981) (bankruptcy court’s finding that two 

national banks refused to grant unsecured loans was sufficient to support conclusion that 

section 364 requirement was met); In re Ames Dep’t Stores, 115 B.R. at 37–39 (debtor must show 

that it made reasonable efforts to seek other sources of financing under section 364(a) and (b)). 

38. As noted above, the Debtors do not believe that a more favorable alternative DIP 

financing is reasonably available, making DIP Facility the most favorable to the Debtors under the 

circumstances. The DIP Facility provide the Debtors with the liquidity they need at the lowest 

cost available while simultaneously placing the Debtors on an optimal path for a successful 

restructuring. Therefore, the Debtors submit that the requirement of section 364 of the Bankruptcy 

Code that alternative credit on more favorable terms be unavailable to the Debtors is satisfied. 

II. The Debtors Should Be Authorized to Use Cash. 

39. Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code generally governs the use of estate property. 

Section 363(c)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code permits a debtor in possession to use cash collateral 

with the consent of the secured party. Here, as stated above, the Debtors’ cash is not “cash 

collateral” because the Prepetition Lenders are not perfected in the Debtors’ deposit accounts. 

40. Section 363(e) of the Bankruptcy Code provides for adequate protection of interests 

in property when a debtor uses cash collateral. Further, section 362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code 

provides for adequate protection of interests in property due to the imposition of the automatic 

stay. See In re Cont’l Airlines, 91 F.3d 553, 556 (3d Cir. 1996) (en banc). While section 361 of 

the Bankruptcy Code provides examples of forms of adequate protection, such as granting 

replacement liens and administrative claims, courts decide what constitutes sufficient adequate 

protection on a case-by-case basis. See, e.g., In re First South Sav. Ass’n, 820 F.2d 700, 710 (5th 

Cir. 1987) (explaining that adequate protection depends on the facts and circumstances of the case); 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 26 of 92
27 

4878-1562-0510 

In re Las Torres Dev., LLC, 413 B.R. 687, 697 (Bankr. S.D. Tex. 2009) (“[I]n determining whether 

a secured creditor’s interest is adequately protected, most courts engage in an analysis of the 

property’s ‘equity cushion’—the value of the property after deducting the claim of the creditor 

seeking relief from the automatic stay and all senior claims.”) (internal quotes and citations 

omitted); see also In re Dynaco Corp., 162 B.R. 389, 394 (Bankr. D.N.H. 1993) (citing 2 Collier 

on Bankruptcy ¶ 361.01[1] at 361–66 (15th ed. 1993) (explaining that adequate protection can take 

many forms and “must be determined based upon equitable considerations arising from the 

particular facts of each proceeding”)). The concept of adequate protection is designed to shield a 

secured creditor from diminution in the value of its interest in collateral during the period of a 

debtor’s use. See In re Carbone Cos., 395 B.R. 631, 635 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio 2008) (“The test is 

whether the secured party’s interest is protected from diminution or decrease as a result of the 

proposed use of cash collateral.”); see also In re Cont’l Airlines, Inc., 154 B.R. 176, 180—81 

(Bankr. D. Del. 1993) (holding that adequate protection for use of collateral under section 363 of 

the Bankruptcy Code is limited to use-based decline in value). 

A. Adequate Protection Provided to the Prepetition Lenders. 

41. As described more fully above in the summary, and as set forth in the form of 

Interim DIP Order, the Debtors propose to provide the Prepetition Lenders with replacement liens 

on the Prepetition Collateral pending a determination of the validity, scope and extent of their liens 

and claims. 

42. The Debtors submit that this adequate protection is sufficient, at least on an interim 

basis, to protect the Prepetition Lenders from any potential diminution in value to their purported 

collateral, subject to revisiting the adequate protection issue at the Final Hearing as necessary.

4878-1562-0510 

III. The Debtors Should Be Authorized to Pay the Fees Required by the DIP Lender 

Under the DIP Loan Documents. 

43. Under the DIP Loan Documents, the Debtors have agreed, subject to Court 

approval, to pay certain the reasonable fees and expenses of the DIP Lender. Courts in this district 

and others have approved the payment of similar fees in large or complex chapter 11 cases. See,

e.g., In re Ebix, Inc., No. 23-80004 (SWE) (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Dec. 19, 2023) [Docket 

No. 64, ¶¶ 4(b), (c)] (approving upfront and exit fees of 3% and 2% of committed amount, 

respectively); In re Tuesday Morning, No. 23-90001 (ELM) (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Feb. 16, 2023) 

[Docket No. 112 ¶ 66]; In re Studio Movie Grill Holdings, LLC, No. 20-32633 (SGJ) (Bankr. N.D. 

Tex. Oct. 27, 2020) [Docket No. 52, ¶ 65] (approving among other fees exit fees in the amount of 

2.0 percent); In re Tuesday Morning Corp., No. 20-31476 (HDH) (Bankr. N.D. Tex. May 28, 2020) 

[Docket No. 35, ¶ 71 ] (approving an upfront fee of 2.0 percent to the DIP Facility); In re GGI 

Holdings, LLC, No. 20-31818 (HDH) (Bankr. N.D. Tex. May 7, 2020) [Docket No. 

63, ¶¶ 5(iv), 6(iii)]. 

44. It is understood and agreed by all parties, that these fees are an integral component 

of the overall terms of the DIP Facility and were required by the DIP Lender as consideration for 

the extension of postpetition financing. Accordingly, the Court should authorize the Debtors to 

pay the fees provided under the DIP Loan Documents in connection with entering into those 

agreements. 

IV. The DIP Lender Should Be Deemed A Good-Faith Lender Under Section 364(e). 

45. Section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code protects a good-faith lender’s right to collect 

on loans extended to a debtor, and its right in any lien securing those loans, even if the authority 

of the debtor to obtain such loans or grant such liens is later reversed or modified on appeal. 

Section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that: 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 28 of 92
29 

4878-1562-0510 

The reversal or modification on appeal of an authorization under this section 

[364 of the Bankruptcy Code] to obtain credit or incur debt, or of a grant 

under this section of a priority or a lien, does not affect the validity of any 

debt so incurred, or any priority or lien so granted, to an entity that extended 

such credit in good faith, whether or not such entity knew of the pendency 

of the appeal, unless such authorization and the incurring of such debt, or 

the granting of such priority or lien, were stayed pending appeal. 

46. As explained herein, in the Shapiro Declaration, and in the First Day Declaration, 

the DIP Loan Documents are the result of: (a) the Debtors’ reasonable and informed determination 

that the DIP Lender provided the best postpetition financing alternative available under the 

circumstances and (b) extended arm’s length, good-faith negotiations between the Debtors and the 

DIP Lender. The Debtors submit that the terms and conditions of the DIP Loan Documents are 

reasonable under the circumstances, and the proceeds of the DIP Facility will be used only for 

purposes that are permissible under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, no consideration is being 

provided to any party to the DIP Loan Documents other than as described herein. Accordingly, 

the Court should find that the DIP Lender is a “good faith” lender within the meaning of 

section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and are entitled to all of the protections afforded by that 

section. 

V. The Automatic Stay Should Be Modified on a Limited Basis. 

47. The form of Interim DIP Order provides that the automatic stay provisions of 

section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code will be modified to allow the DIP Lender to file any financing 

statements, security agreements, notices of liens, and other similar instruments and documents in 

order to validate and perfect the liens and security interests granted to them under the Interim DIP 

Order. The proposed Interim DIP Order further provides that the automatic stay is modified as 

necessary to permit the Debtors to grant liens to the DIP Lender and to incur all liabilities and 

obligations set forth in the Interim DIP Order. Finally, the form of Interim DIP Order provides 

that, following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 20 of the Interim 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 29 of 92
30 

4878-1562-0510 

DIP Order) and an appropriate opportunity for the Debtors to obtain relief from the Court, the 

automatic stay shall be vacated and modified to the extent necessary to permit the DIP Lender to 

exercise all rights and remedies in accordance with the DIP Loan Documents, or applicable law. 

48. Stay modifications of this kind are ordinary and standard features of debtor in 

possession financing arrangements and, in the Debtors’ business judgment, are reasonable and fair 

under the circumstances of these chapter 11 cases. See, e.g., In re Tuesday Morning Corp., 

No. 20-31476 (HDH) (Bankr. N.D. Tex. July 10, 2020) (modifying automatic stay as necessary to 

effectuate the terms of the order); In re Taco Bueno Restaurants, Inc., No. 18-33678 (SGJ) (Bankr. 

N.D. Tex. Nov. 30, 2018) (same). These provisions are also consistent with the Complex Case 

Procedures. 

VI. Failure to Obtain Immediate Interim Access to the DIP Facility and Use of Cash 

Would Cause Immediate and Irreparable Harm. 

49. Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b) and 4001(c) provide that a final hearing on a motion to 

obtain credit pursuant to section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or to use cash collateral pursuant to 

section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code may not be commenced earlier than 14 days after the service 

of such motion. Upon request, however, the Court may conduct a preliminary, expedited hearing 

on the motion and authorize the obtaining of credit and use of cash collateral to the extent necessary 

to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to a debtor’s estate. 

50. For the reasons noted above, the Debtors have an immediate postpetition need to 

use cash on hand, and access the liquidity provided by the DIP Facility. The Debtors cannot 

maintain the value of their estates during the pendency of these chapter 11 cases without access to 

cash. The Debtors will use cash, among other things, to fund the operation of their business, 

maintain business relationships with their vendors and suppliers, make payroll, and satisfy other 

essential working capital and operational needs, all of which are required to preserve and maintain 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 30 of 92
31 

4878-1562-0510 

the Debtors’ going concern value for the benefit of all parties in interest, and to fund the 

administration of these chapter 11 cases. In short, the Debtors’ ability to administer these chapter 

11 cases through the use of cash (to the extent it might be “cash collateral”) is vital to preserve and 

maximize the value of the Debtors’ estates. 

51. The Debtors request that the Court hold and conduct a hearing to consider entry of 

the Interim DIP Order authorizing the Debtors, from and after entry of the Interim DIP Order until 

the Final Hearing, to receive initial funding under the DIP Facility. The Debtors require the initial 

funding under the DIP Facility prior to the Final Hearing and entry of the Final DIP Order to 

continue operating, in the normal course, pay their administrative expenses, and to otherwise 

implement the relief requested in the Debtors’ first day motions. This relief will enable the Debtors 

to preserve and maximize value and, therefore, avoid immediate and irreparable harm and 

prejudice to their estates and all parties in interest, pending the Final Hearing. 

Request for Final Hearing 

52. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b)(2) and 4001(c)(2), the Debtors request that 

the Court set a date for the Final Hearing that is as soon as practicable, and in no event later than 

35 days after the Petition Date, and fix the time and date prior to the Final Hearing for parties to 

file objections to this Motion. 

Waiver of Bankruptcy Rule 6004(a) and 6004(h) 

53. To implement the foregoing successfully, the Debtors seek a waiver of the notice 

requirements under Bankruptcy Rule 6004(a) and the 14-day stay of an order authorizing the use, 

sale, or lease of property under Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h). 

Notice 

54. The Debtors will provide notice of this Motion to the following parties or their 

counsel: (a) the U.S. Trustee for the Northern District of Texas; (b) the holders of the 30 largest 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

unsecured claims against the Debtors (on a consolidated basis); (c) the agent to the Prepetition 

Lenders; (d) the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas; (e) the Internal 

Revenue Service; (f) the state attorneys general for states in which the Debtors conduct business; 

(g) the banks at which the Debtors maintain their deposit accounts; and (h) any party that has 

requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. In light of the nature of the relief requested, 

the Debtors submit that no other or further notice is needed. 

No Prior Request 

55. No prior request for the relief sought in this Motion has been made to this or any 

other court. 

WHEREFORE, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court enter an interim order, 

substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, granting the relief requested herein and 

such other relief as the Court deems appropriate under the circumstances. 

Respectfully submitted this 23rd day of January, 2024.

the evidence submitted, and the record made at the Interim Hearing held before this Court on 

January __, 2024; and due, proper and sufficient notice of the Motion, having been given in 

accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b), (c), and (d) and 9014, and the local rules, procedures

and orders of the Court; and the Interim Hearing to consider the relief requested in the Motion 

having been held and concluded; and all objections, if any, to the relief requested in the Motion 

having been withdrawn, resolved, or overruled by this Court; and it appearing to this Court that 

granting the interim relief requested is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the 

Debtors and their estates (as defined under Bankruptcy Code section 541, the “Estates”), and 

otherwise is fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and their 

creditors and other constituents, and is essential for the continued operation of the Debtors’ 

business; and after due deliberation and consideration, and good and sufficient cause appearing 

therefor; 

THE COURT HEREBY MAKES THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT AND 

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: 

A. Petition Date. On January 16, 2024 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed 

a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in this Court commencing 

these chapter 11 cases (these “Chapter 11 Cases”). On January 22, 2024, this Court entered an 

order approving the joint administration of these Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors are continuing 

to operate their business and manage their affairs as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 

1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee, examiner, or official committee of 

unsecured creditors (“Committee”) has been appointed in these Chapter 11 Cases. 

B. Jurisdiction and Venue. This Court has jurisdiction, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 

157(b) and 1334, over these Chapter 11 Cases, the Motion, the parties, and the Debtors’ property. 

This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). Venue for these Chapter 11 Cases 

and proceedings on the Motion is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 

The statutory bases for the relief sought herein are Bankruptcy Code sections 105, 361, 362, 363, 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 39 of 92

4861-1202-7294 

364, 503, and 507, Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 4001, 6003, 6004, and 9014, and the Complex Case 

Procedures. 

C. Prepetition Secured Debt. Between 2014 and 2017, certain of the Debtors entered 

into multiple allegedly secured term loan agreements (collectively, the “Prepetition Term Loans” 

and the underlying documents being the “Prepetition Loan Documents”) with various entities 

related to GHTG Investment, LLC (collectively, the “Prepetition Lenders”) for the purpose of 

acquiring certain other Debtor entities. Each Prepetition Term Loan, if truly debt, is due at 

maturity, bears interest at rates of 5–5.50% per annum and matures in either June 2029 or 

December 2029. As of the Petition Date, the outstanding aggregate principal and interest due 

under the Prepetition Term Loans purports to be approximately $118 million. The Debtors have 

no other long-term debt obligations. 

i. Certain of the Prepetition Term Loans are purportedly secured by the 

membership interests and books and records of the borrowing and acquired entities, and all 

proceeds, supporting obligations, and products of the foregoing. Certain others are purportedly 

secured by substantially all of the borrowers’ assets. The relevant Prepetition Lenders may not be 

fully perfected. A chart listing each Prepetition Term Loan is attached to the First Day Declaration 

as Exhibit C. 

ii. The Prepetition Loan Documents generally attempt to grant security 

interests to the Prepetition Lenders in substantially all of certain Debtors’ assets. However, at this 

juncture, it does not appear as if the Prepetition Lenders have properly perfected their liens in the 

Debtors’ cash because it appears the Prepetition Lenders do not “control” the deposit accounts: (i) 

there do not appear to be any deposit account control agreements (“DACAs”) in place with respect 

to any of the Debtors and (ii) the Prepetition Lenders do not appear to be banks and there do not 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 40 of 92
7 

4861-1202-7294 

appear to be any deposit accounts residing at any of the Prepetition Lenders in which the Debtors 

deposit cash. 

iii. Additionally, it appears there may be other lien and perfection 

(imperfection) issues because, for certain of the Debtors, no UCC-1 financing statement was filed 

at all, and in other instances, UCC-1 financing statements extend only to a pledge of the 

stock/membership interests in certain subsidiaries and not to any assets of the borrower or the 

subsidiary in question. 

iv. Attached as Exhibit B to the Motion is a chart showing, among other things, 

the Debtors’ belief as to which Debtors have financing statements filed against them, and the scope 

of the collateral set forth in the applicable UCC-1 financing statement. 

v. The Debtors therefore contend that, because the Prepetition Lenders do not 

have a properly perfected lien on the Debtors’ cash, they cannot meet their burden of proof under 

section 363(p) of the Bankruptcy Code and are not entitled to adequate protection for the Debtors’ 

postpetition use of cash. The Debtors nonetheless seek to provide the Prepetition Lenders with 

replacement liens as adequate protection on an interim basis, pending entry of the Final DIP Order 

and a determination by the Court as to the validity, priority and extent of the Prepetition Lenders’ 

alleged liens. 

vi. The Debtors further contend that the Prepetition Lenders are all insiders of 

Global Growth Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates (including the individual behind Global Growth, 

Greg Lindberg), the private equity firm that was the indirect prior owner of the Debtors before the 

Debtors were transferred into an irrevocable trust on or about July 22, 2021, called the “ECL 

Trust.” The ECL Trust, since its formation, has been the sole member of Eye Care Leaders 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 41 of 92

4861-1202-7294 

Holdings Portfolio, LLC (“HoldCo”), the Debtors’ ultimate parent, as set forth in HoldCo’s 

Amended and Restated Operating Agreement also dated July 22, 2021. 

vii. As a result of this insider relationship, and the multiple proceedings and 

allegations against Global Growth, Mr. Lindberg and various affiliates,3

 the Debtors believe that 

the claims and liens allegedly held by the Prepetition Lenders are subject to recharacterization 

and/or equitable subordination. 

D. Findings Regarding DIP Facility and the Use of Cash Collateral. 

i. Request for Postpetition Financing and Use of Cash. The Debtors seek 

authority to enter into and perform under the DIP Loan Documents. The DIP Lender shall have 

no obligation to make loans or advances except pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth 

herein and in the other DIP Loan Documents and no obligation to waive any conditions required 

thereunder. The Debtors also seek authority to use case on the terms described herein, and in 

accordance with the Approved Budget, which shall be subject to Permitted Variances (as defined 

below) to administer their Chapter 11 Cases and fund their operations. 

3 See, e.g., PB Life & Annuity Co., Ltd. v. Lindberg, et al., Adv. No. 23-01000 (LGB) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.); United States 

v. Lindberg, et al., Case No. 5:19-cr-22-MOC-DSC (W.D.N.C.); United States v. Lindberg, 3:23-cr-48-MOC 

(W.D.N.C.); see also Southland Nat'l Ins. Corp. v. Lindberg, 289 N.C. App. 378, 381, 889 S.E.2d 512, 516 (2023), 

writ allowed, 894 S.E.2d 747 (N.C. 2023) and review allowed in part, denied in part, 894 S.E.2d 748 (N.C. 2023); see 

also https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-insurance-executive-indicted-2b-fraud-scheme (last visited on Jan. 18, 

2024) (“ ‘The indictment reveals a carefully orchestrated scheme that relied on a web of complex financial investments 

and transactions designed to evade regulators, disguise the financial health of Lindberg’s insurance companies, and 

conceal the alleged purpose of the scheme: Lindberg’s personal gain,’ said U.S. Attorney Dena J. King for the Western 

District of North Carolina. ‘My office will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to investigate and 

prosecute financial wrongdoing and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions’ ”);

(“According to court documents, from no later than 2016 through at least 2019, Lindberg and others allegedly 

conspired and schemed to defraud various insurance companies, other third parties, and ultimately thousands of 

insurance policyholders. Lindberg allegedly deceived the North Carolina Department of Insurance and other 

regulators, evaded regulatory requirements meant to protect policyholders, concealed the true financial condition of 

his insurance companies, and improperly used insurance company funds for his personal benefit. In particular, the 

indictment alleges that Lindberg personally benefitted from the fraud in part by using insurance company funds to 

finance his lavish lifestyle, including the purchase and refinancing of personal real estate and ‘forgiving’ more than 

$125 million in loans from his affiliated companies to himself to fund his personal expenses”).

4861-1202-7294 

ii. Priming of the Prepetition Liens. The Debtors do not seek to prime the 

alleged liens of the Prepetition Lenders as part of this Interim DIP Order. This matter is reserved 

for the Final Hearing. 

iii. Need for Postpetition Financing and Use of Cash. The Debtors do not have 

sufficient liquidity to operate their business in the ordinary course or to pursue either a sale or a 

stand-alone restructuring without the financing requested in the Motion. The Debtors’ ability to 

maintain business relationships with vendors, suppliers, and customers, to pay their employees, 

pay certain fees and expenses as set forth herein, and to otherwise fund their operations is essential 

to the Debtors’ continued viability as the Debtors seek to maximize and preserve the value of their 

respective Estates for the benefit of all stakeholders. The ability of the Debtors to obtain sufficient 

working capital and liquidity through the proposed DIP Facility with the DIP Lender and to use 

cash as set forth in this Interim DIP Order and the DIP Loan Documents is vital to the Debtors’ 

preservation and maintenance of going concern value. If the Debtors do not obtain authorization 

to borrow under the DIP Loan Documents, they, and their Estates, will suffer immediate and 

irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Debtors have an immediate need to obtain the DIP Loans and 

to use cash. 

iv. No Credit Available on More Favorable Terms. As set forth in the Shapiro 

Declaration and as demonstrated at the Interim Hearing, given their current financial condition, 

financing arrangements, and capital structure, the Debtors have been unable to procure the 

necessary financing from sources other than the DIP Lender on terms more favorable than those 

set forth in the DIP Term Sheet. The Debtors have been unable to reasonably obtain adequate 

unsecured credit allowable under Bankruptcy Code section 503(b)(1) as an administrative expense. 

The Debtors have also been unable to obtain secured credit from other sources: (a) having priority 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 43 of 92
10 

4861-1202-7294 

over that of administrative expenses of the kind specified in Bankruptcy Code sections 503(b), 

507(a), and 507(b); (b) secured only by a lien on property of the Debtors and their Estates that is 

not otherwise subject to a lien; or (c) secured solely by a junior lien on property of the Debtors and 

their Estates that is subject to a lien. Financing on a postpetition basis is not otherwise available 

without granting to the DIP Lender: (x) automatically perfected security interests in and liens on 

(each as provided herein) all of the Debtors’ existing and after- acquired assets with the priorities 

set forth herein; (y) superpriority claims and liens; and (z) the other protections to the extent set 

forth in this Interim DIP Order. After considering all reasonable alternatives, the Debtors have 

concluded, in the exercise of their sound and reasonable business judgment, that the DIP Facility, 

including, without limitation, the DIP Loans, represents the best financing available to them at this 

time. 

v. Use of Proceeds of the DIP Facility. As a condition to entry into the DIP 

Loan Documents, the extensions of credit under the DIP Facility and the authorization to use cash, 

the Debtors have agreed, that proceeds of the DIP Facility and cash shall be used in accordance 

with the terms of this Interim DIP Order, the DIP Loan Documents, and the Approved Budget 

(which shall be subject to Permitted Variances), solely to (i) provide working capital and for 

general corporate purposes of the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) pay interest, fees, costs 

and expenses related to the DIP Facility; (iii) pay the fees, costs and expenses of the estate 

professionals retained in the Chapter 11 Cases as set forth in the Approved Budget and approved 

by the Bankruptcy Court; (iv) pay the DIP Lender Reimbursements; (v) make all permitted 

payments of costs of administration of the Chapter 11 Cases; and (vi) pay such prepetition 

expenses as are consented to by the DIP Lender and approved by the Bankruptcy Court 

(collectively, the “Permitted DIP and Cash Uses”).

4861-1202-7294 

vi. The DIP Facility Terms and Conditions are Fair and Reasonable. Based on 

the Motion, the Shapiro Declaration, and the record presented to the Court at the Interim Hearing, 

the terms and conditions of the DIP Facility pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents (including the 

payment of fees and expenses contemplated thereunder) and the use of the DIP Collateral (defined 

below) and cash, pursuant to this Interim DIP Order are fair, reasonable, and the best available to 

the Debtors under the circumstances, reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment 

consistent with their fiduciary duties, are supported by reasonably equivalent value and 

consideration, and were entered into at arm’s-length, under no duress, and without undue 

influence, negligence, or violation of public policy or law. Use of cash and any credit to be 

extended as set forth in the DIP Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been so allowed, 

advanced, made, used, or extended in good faith, and for valid business purposes and uses, within 

the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 364(e), and the DIP Lender is therefore entitled to the 

protections and benefits of Bankruptcy Code section 364(e) and this Interim Order. 

vii. Bankruptcy Code Sections 506(c) and Marshaling. Subject to entry of the 

Final DIP Order, the DIP Lender is entitled to a waiver of (I) the provisions of Bankruptcy Code 

section 506(c), and (II) the equitable doctrine of “marshaling” or any similar doctrine. 

viii. Adequate Protection. The Debtors have agreed, despite the alleged 

deficiencies in the Prepetition Lender’s Liens and the contention that the Prepetition Lenders’ 

claims and liens may be subject to subordination and/or recharacterization, pursuant to Bankruptcy 

Code sections 361, 362, 363, and 364, to provide the Prepetition Lenders with adequate protection 

against any diminution in value of their interests in the Prepetition Collateral, as set forth herein. 

ix. Good Faith Pursuant to Section 364(e). The terms and conditions of the 

DIP Loan Documents, this Interim DIP Order, and the provision of the DIP Facility were 

Case 24-80001-mvl11 Doc 38 Filed 01/23/24 Entered 01/23/24 18:01:49 Desc Main

Document Page 45 of 92
12 

4861-1202-7294 

negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length among the Debtors and the DIP Lender with the 

assistance and counsel of their respective advisors. Credit to be extended under the DIP Facility 

shall be deemed to have been allowed, made, or extended in good faith by the DIP Lender within 

the meaning of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

x. Good and Sufficient Cause Shown. Good and sufficient cause has been 

shown for entry of this Interim DIP Order. The ability of the Debtors to obtain sufficient working 

capital and liquidity under the DIP Loan Documents is vital to the Debtors’ Estates and creditors. 

The relief requested in the Motion is necessary, essential, and appropriate, and is in the best interest 

of and will benefit the Debtors, their creditors, and their Estates, as its implementation will, among 

other things, provide the Debtors with the necessary liquidity to (a) minimize disruption to the 

business and ongoing operations, (b) preserve and maximize the value of the Debtors’ Estates for 

the benefit of all the Debtors’ stakeholders, and (c) maximize and stabilize the value of the 

Debtors’ assets and avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors, their creditors, their 

business, their employees, and their assets. The terms of the DIP Facility are fair and reasonable, 

reflect each Debtor’s exercise of its business judgment, and are supported by reasonably equivalent 

value and fair consideration. 

xi. Final Hearing. At the Final Hearing, the Debtors will seek final approval 

of the proposed DIP Facility and use of cash pursuant to the Final DIP Order, which shall be in 

form and substance acceptable to the DIP Lender. Notice of the Final Hearing and Final DIP Order 

will be provided in accordance with this Interim DIP Order and no further notice, except as 

provided by this Interim DIP Order, shall be required.

Interim DIP Order shall authorize, other than in the ordinary course of the Debtors’ business, the 

sale, transfer, lease, encumbrance, or other disposition of any assets of the Debtors or their Estates 

without the prior written consent of the DIP Lender (and no such consent or direction shall be 

implied from any other action, inaction, or acquiescence by any DIP Lender or any order of this 

Court), except as permitted in the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim DIP Order and approved 

by the Court to the extent required under applicable bankruptcy law. 

11. Perfection of DIP Liens and Adequate Protection Liens. This Interim DIP Order 

shall be sufficient and conclusive evidence of the validity, perfection, and priority of all liens 

granted herein, including the DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens, without the necessity

Lender all such financing statements, mortgages, control agreements, notices, and other documents

stayed, such reversal, stay, modification, or vacatur shall not affect (a) the validity, priority, or 

enforceability of any DIP Liens or DIP Obligations incurred prior to the effective date of such 

reversal, stay, modification, or vacatur or (b) the validity, priority, or enforceability of the DIP 

Liens. Notwithstanding any such reversal, stay, modification, or vacatur, any use of cash and any 

DIP Obligations incurred by the Debtors to the DIP Lender prior to the effective date of such 

reversal, stay, modification, or vacatur shall be governed in all respects by the original provisions 

of this Interim DIP Order, and the DIP Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights, remedies, 

privileges, and benefits granted in Bankruptcy Code section 364(e), this Interim DIP Order, and 

the DIP Loan Documents.

Bankruptcy Code or dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases, or (b) the entry of a confirmation 

order and, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1141(d)(4), the Debtors’ waiver of discharge as

administrative claims granted pursuant to this Interim DIP Order, and all other rights and remedies

security agreement entered into by the Debtors prior to the Petition Date, including, without 

limitation, in respect of the Prepetition Loan Documents (other than with respect to the Adequate 

Protection Liens), except to the extent that such property constitutes proceeds of property of the

Petition Date which is not subject to recharacterization or subordination under the Bankruptcy 

Code, other provisions or principles of applicable law.

its prior written consent, or all DIP Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, there 

shall not be entered in any of these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases any order (including 

any confirmation order) that authorizes any of the following: (a) the obtaining of credit or the 

incurring of indebtedness that is secured by a security, mortgage, or collateral interest or other lien 

on all or any portion of the DIP Collateral and/or that is entitled to administrative priority status, 

in each case that is superior to or pari passu with the DIP Liens, the DIP Obligations, and the DIP 

Superpriority Claims, except as expressly set forth in this Interim DIP Order; (b) the use of cash 

for any purpose other than as permitted in the Approved Budget, DIP Loan Documents, and this

enlarged powers, any responsible officer, or any other estate representative subsequently appointed 

in the Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Case, shall obtain credit or incur debt other than the 

credit or debt provided pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents at any time prior to the repayment in 

full of all DIP Obligations, including subsequent to the entry of a confirmation order with respect 

to the Debtors and the Debtors’ Estates, then all cash proceeds derived from such credit or debt

proposed updated Budget is substantially in the form of the Budget and in substance satisfactory 

to the DIP Lender (provided, that, until a new Budget has been approved by the DIP Lender, the 

most recently approved Budget shall govern); and (ii) beginning on the third business day of the 

first full week following the Closing Date (by not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time), and on the 

third business day of each week thereafter following the end of each Testing Period (by not later

before entry of the Final DIP Order shall not exceed $1.3 million. 

Once repaid, DIP Proceeds cannot be reborrowed.

connection with any sale of any of the Debtors’ assets under section 363 of the 

Bankruptcy Code or under a plan of reorganization, the DIP Lender shall have the

required pursuant to the “Financial Reporting Requirements” section below).

fund the costs of the administration of the Chapter 11 Case (including US Trustee 

fees and professional fees and expenses) and the section 363 sale process, and (iii) 

fund interest, fees, and other payments contemplated in respect of the DIP Facility. 

The DIP Loan shall be funded in periodic installments, not more frequently than

agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), which shall be filed with the Bankruptcy 

Court and approved in final form in the Final DIP Order. The DIP Credit Agreement 

shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the DIP Lender, and shall reflect the 

terms set forth in this DIP Term Sheet and the nature of the DIP Facility as a debtor 

in possession facility. The parties shall also execute such other ancillary documents 

as the DIP Lender may require (such ancillary documents, collectively with the DIP 

Credit Agreement, the “DIP Facility Documents”). The DIP Facility Documents 

shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the DIP Lender.

The Debtors shall maintain all existing deposit accounts (other than excluded 

accounts to be agreed) and each such deposit account shall remain or become subject

requested by the DIP Lender, an enforceable control agreement in favor of the DIP 

Lender (any such account, a “Controlled Account”). The DIP Credit Agreement, 

and the DIP Orders (as applicable) shall require the Debtors to maintain the DIP 

Proceeds in the Controlled Accounts except as permitted to be used in accordance 

with the Budget and shall prohibit the Debtors from withdrawing funds from the 

Controlled Accounts after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of 

Default under the DIP Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the Debtors shall 

be permitted to fund the Carve-Out and pay ordinary course administrative claims 

up to $200,000 in accordance with the terms of the Budget after an Event of Default. 

Interest: The DIP Loan will bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 15%, accruing 

monthly, payable in arrears and payable in kind.

360-day year.

DIP Credit Agreement, the DIP Loan and all DIP Obligations shall bear interest at 

an additional 2.00% per annum.

payable upon entry of the Interim DIP Order, and payable by the Debtors to the DIP 

Lender immediately upon the delivery of the Interim Funding after the Closing Date.

entry of the Interim DIP Order, and payable upon the earlier of (i) the DIP 

Termination Date, or (ii) the closing of a sale following entry of a Sale Order (as

premium or penalty. 

 

Priority and 

Security under 

DIP Facility:

without limitation, all principal and accrued interest, premiums (if any), costs, fees 

and expenses or any other amounts due (collectively, the “DIP Obligations”), shall 

be secured by the following liens and security interests (the “DIP Liens”): 

(a) subject to the Carve Out, and subject to entry of the Final DIP Order, 

pursuant to section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, a first priority perfected 

senior priming lien on, and security interest in, substantially all of the assets of the 

Borrowers, wherever located, that may be subject to a validly perfected security 

interest in existence on the Petition Date;2

(b) subject to the Carve Out, pursuant to section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy 

Code, a first priority perfected lien on, and security interest in, all present and after 

acquired property of the Debtors, wherever located, not subject to a lien or security 

interest on the date of commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (collectively, the 

“Unencumbered Property”); 

(c) subject to the Carve Out, pursuant to section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy 

Code, a junior perfected lien on, and security interest in, all present and afteracquired property of the Debtors, wherever located, that is subject to a Permitted 

Lien (as to be defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) on the Petition Date or subject 

to a Permitted Lien in existence on the Petition Date that is perfected subsequent 

thereto as permitted by section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; and 

(d) subject to the Carve Out, a first priority perfected lien on, and security 

interest in, all funds on deposit in the Controlled Accounts. 

The property referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (d) is collectively

Bankruptcy Code on the assets of Insight Software, LLC, Keymed, LLC, MD Office, LLC and MRX Holdings, LLC.

including, without limitation, all accounts, proceeds of leases, inventory, equipment, 

equity interests or capital stock in subsidiaries, investment property, instruments, 

chattel paper, real estate, leasehold interests, contracts, patents, copyrights, 

trademarks and other general intangibles, the proceeds of all claims or causes of 

action (including upon entry of the Final DIP Order, proceeds of avoidance actions 

under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code) and all products, offspring, profits and 

proceeds thereof; provided however the DIP Lender shall only avail itself of 

proceeds from avoidance actions, on a “last look” basis, and only if all other 

Collateral is inadequate to indefeasibly repay the DIP Obligations in full. 

The DIP Liens shall be effective and perfected as of the entry of the Interim DIP 

Order (subject to the occurrence of the Closing Date) and without necessity of the 

execution, filing or recording of control agreements, financing statements or other 

agreements. However, the DIP Lender may, in its discretion, require the execution, 

filing or recording of any or all of the documents described in the preceding 

sentence. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the DIP Collateral shall not include (and the DIP 

Liens shall not extend to) assets scheduled and held by the Debtors in trust (but only 

for so long as such assets are held in trust). 

Superpriority 

DIP Claims: 

All DIP Claims shall be entitled to the benefits of section 364(c)(1) of the 

Bankruptcy Code, having superpriority over any and all administrative expenses of 

the kind that are specified in sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 

507(b), 546(c), 726, 1114 or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, subject 

only to the Carve Out. 

The DIP Claims will, at all times during the period that the DIP Loan remains 

outstanding, remain, in right of payment, senior in priority to all other claims or 

administrative expenses, subject only to the Carve Out. 

Carve Out: “Carve Out” means an amount equal to the sum of the following (A) : (i) all fees 

required to be paid to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and to the Office of the 

United States Trustee under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a) plus interest pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 

§ 3717 (without regard to the notice set forth in clause (ii) below); (ii) to the extent 

allowed by the Bankruptcy Court at any time, whether by interim order, final order, 

or otherwise, all accrued and unpaid fees, disbursements, costs and expenses 

incurred by persons or firms retained by the Debtors pursuant to sections 327, 328 

or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Professionals”) and all accrued unpaid 

fees, disbursements, costs and expenses incurred by the Committee (if any) pursuant 

to sections 328 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Committee Professionals,” 

together with the Debtor Professionals, the “Estate Professionals,” and such Estate 

Professional fees in each case in accordance with the Budget, the “Allowed 

Professional Fees”) at any time before or on the first business day following delivery 

by the DIP Lender of a Carve Out Trigger Notice (as defined below), whether 

allowed by the Bankruptcy Court prior to or after delivery of a Carve Out Trigger 

Notice; and (iii) Allowed Professional Fees of Estate Professionals in an aggregate 

amount not to exceed $200,000 incurred after the first business day following 

delivery by the DIP Lender of a Carve Out Trigger Notice, to the extent allowed at 

any time, whether by interim order, final order, or otherwise (the amounts set forth

in this clause (iii), the “Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap”); provided, however, 

nothing herein shall be construed to impair the ability of any party to object to any 

fees, expenses, reimbursement or compensation sought by any such professionals or 

any other person or entity. For purposes of the foregoing, “Carve Out Trigger 

Notice” shall mean a written notice (which may be delivered by e-mail (or other 

electronic means)) by the DIP Lender to the Debtors and their counsel, the United 

States Trustee, and lead counsel to any Committee appointed in the Chapter 11 

Cases, and filed on the docket of the Chapter 11 Cases, which notice may be 

delivered following the occurrence of an Event of Default, stating that the PostCarve Out Trigger Notice Cap has been invoked. 

On a weekly basis—to the extent there is sufficient cash on hand prior to entry of 

the Final DIP Order, and then following entry of the Final DIP Order—the fees of 

the Debtors’ and committee’s professionals provided for in the Budget shall be 

funded into one of the Debtors’ accounts at East West Bank to be used solely to 

satisfy Allowed Professional Fees in accordance with any applicable orders entered 

in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Professional Fee Reserve”). The funds on deposit in 

the Professional Fee Reserve shall be available to satisfy the obligations owed to 

Estate Professionals, and the DIP Lender shall have a security interest on any 

residual amounts remaining in the Professional Fee Reserve after satisfaction in full 

of all Allowed Professional Fees. 

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the 

Carve Out shall be senior to all liens and claims securing the DIP Facility, and all 

other forms of adequate protection, liens, or claims securing the DIP Obligations.
