AGREED INTERIM ORDER PROVIDING FOR ADEQUATE PROTECTION AND ALLOWING USE OF CASH COLLATERAL

HARLIN DeWAYNE HALE, Bankruptcy Judge.

On this day there came on for interim consideration JONESBORO HOSPITALITY, LLC's Emergency Motion for Use of Cash Collateral (the "Motion") pursuant to Sections 105, 361, 363 and 364 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") and Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 4001, with respect to the use of cash collateral of Ciena Capital LLC as servicer for Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. f/k/a the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as Indenture Trustee under that certain Indenture dated as of March 1, 2006, as the same may be amended from time to time, for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the holders of Business Loan Express Business Loan-Backed Notes, 2006-A and the Hedge Counter party, as their respective interest may appear (the "Lender"). The Lender appeared by and through its counsel, Howard Marc Spector, and Debtor appeared by and through its proposed counsel, Joyce Lindauer. The Court finds that notice is sufficient and appropriate and that no objections to the Debtor's request have been filed. The parties announced to the Court that an agreement has been reached respecting the authority of the Debtor to use Lender's cash collateral as reflected in this Agreed Interim Order Providing for Adequate Protection and Allowing Use of Cash Collateral (this "Cash Collateral Order"). The Debtor represented to the Court that it will comply with the terms of this Cash Collateral Order. The parties hereto stipulate and agree as follows, and the Court hereby adopts said stipulation and agreement as findings of fact and conclusion of law as set forth below, and subject to the limitations set forth herein:

I. FINDINGS OF FACT

A. This Court has jurisdiction of this contested matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b)(2)(G) and 1334 and 11 U.S.C. §§ 361, 362 and 363. This is a core proceeding.

B. On August 27, 2013 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtor filed its Voluntary Petition in Bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Since that date, the Debtor has remained in possession of its property and operated its affairs as a debtor-in-possession.

C. The operation of the Debtor's business requires that funds constituting Lender's cash collateral, as that term is defined in 11 U.S.C. § 363(a), be used by the Debtor to continue to meet its ordinary operating expenses. An immediate and critical need exists for the Debtor to obtain funds in order to continue the operation of its business consisting of a hotel doing business at 3006 Caraway Road, Jonesboro, Arkansas. Without such funds, the Debtor will not be able to pay its operating expenses and obtain goods and services needed to carry on its business during this sensitive period in a manner that will avoid irreparable harm to the Debtor's estate. At this time, the Debtor's ability to use cash collateral is vital to the confidence of the Debtor's vendors and suppliers of the goods and services, and to the preservation and maintenance of the going concern value of the Debtor's estate.

D. Appropriate notice and opportunity for hearing on this Cash Collateral Order have been given in accordance with the provisions of Sections 361, 362 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

E. It is in the best interest of the Debtor's estate, its creditors and other parties-in-interest for the Debtor to use Lender's cash collateral in accordance with the terms of this Cash Collateral Order because such action will enable the Debtor to continue its on-going operations and will enhance the possibility of a successful reorganization in this case.

F. All of the parties hereto have acted in good faith in connection with this Cash Collateral Order.

G. Lender claims that it has a validly perfect first-priority lien on substantially all assets of the Debtor (the "Collateral").

H. Lender has consented to the use of its cash collateral, upon the terms and conditions of this Cash Collateral Order but not otherwise.

I. The Debtor is currently in possession of the cash collateral.

II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

A. Lender, as the holder of a secured claim against the Debtor, is entitled to adequate protection of its interests under 11 U.S.C. §§ 361, 362 and 363 as provided herein.

B. The entry of this Cash Collateral Order is in the best interest of the Debtor, its creditors, and the Debtor's estate, to enable the Debtor to operate.

IT IS, THEREFORE

ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the Debtor is hereby authorized to use cash collateral provided, however, that the Debtor may utilize only the sums stated in the Debtor's "Operating Budget," which Operating Budget is attached hereto as Exhibit A [Docket No. 4] and incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. It is further

It is further

Any clerk or other recording officer or person shall file the Cash Collateral Order when presented for recording or filing this Cash Collateral Order. It is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that in the event that the Debtor (i) violates or breaches any of the terms of this Cash Collateral Order and (ii) fails to cure said breach or default within five (5) business days after its receipt of a written notice of default and demand for cure ("Notice") from Lender describing the nature of the default and sent to the Debtor's counsel, then upon receipt by the Debtor's counsel of a second written notice from Lender, stating that the Debtor has failed to cure said default or breach, the Debtor's authority to use the cash collateral shall immediately terminate, except as otherwise ordered by the Court. It is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that at all times, Lender shall have reasonable access to Debtor's business facilities and Debtor's books and records, and shall be provided financial information as Lender requests. It is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to waive, limit or modify the rights of Lender to seek additional relief in this bankruptcy case in accordance with any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable law. It is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the terms of the Cash Collateral Order shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties and this Cash Collateral Order shall be controlling upon the Debtor and its successors and assigns (including any successor trustee), notwithstanding the dismissal of this bankruptcy proceeding or the conversion of this case to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. It is further
