53] wherein the Court authorized the Debtor to use the cash collateral and granted the Prepetition Lenders adequate protection on an interim basis.The proposed order limits the Committee counsel’s fees incident to its review of the Prepetition Lenders’ security interest and limits the ability of Committee counsel to be reimbursed incident to any avoidance action, marshalling claim or any other attempt to obtain a share of the Debtor’s assets for payment to unsecured creditors out of the security interest possessed by the Prepetition Lenders.The proposed order within the Cash Collateral Motion includes within Section 6(d), titled “Mandatory Paydowns of Prepetition Obligations” (emphasis added), “payments to the Prepetition Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Prepetition Secured Parties, an amount equal to [the Cash Reserve]…” (emphasis added). “The purpose of the exception is to prevent a secured creditor from reaping benefits from collateral that has appreciated in value as a result of the trustee’s/debtor-in-possession’s use of other assets of the estate (which normally would go to general creditors) to cause the appreciated value.”The doctrine of marshalling is especially important here given that the Prepetition Lenders possess other collateral interests that can be used to pay down their debt which may free up Debtor assets to pay the claims of the unsecured creditors.
