III.
BACKGROUND

A. Commencement of Cases

3. The Debtor commenced this proceeding on May 26, 2009 (the “Petition Date”) by

filing a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Since the

filing of the petition, the Debtor has remained in possession of its assets and continued in

operation of its business as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§1107 and 1108.

4. The Debtor’s principal business is the operation of a premier steak house

restaurant doing business under a license agreement as “Bob’s Steak & Chop House” at 4300

Lemmon Avenue in Dallas, Texas (the “Original Restaurant”).

5. Mr. Robert J. Sambol (“Sambol”) founded the Original Restaurant in December

1994 with financial backing directly or indirectly from Mr. William W. Lenox (“Lenox”). The

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 3
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 4 of 20

Original Restaurant was the first of the “Bob’s Steak & Chop House” group, which currently is

comprised of six restaurants. At that time, the Original Restaurant was owned by Silveroak, a

limited partnership in which Sambol and Lenox (through intermediary entities) were each 50%

owners.

6. In the fall and winter of 2004, Cherry Creek Restaurant Group, Ltd. (“CCRG”),

another limited partnership in which Sambol and Lenox (through intermediary entities) were each

50% owners, began development of a Bob’s Steak & Chop House in the Denver, Colorado area

(the “Denver Restaurant”). CCRG completed and opened the Denver Restaurant in February of

2005. CCRG obtained financing for the construction, furnishing and necessary working capital

needed for the Denver Restaurant from Frost National Bank, N.A. (“Frost”). The construction,

working capital and other loan facilities that Frost provided in connection with the Denver

Restaurant totaled in principal amount approximately $1.4 million. CCRG also obtained from

Frost a stand-by letter of credit in favor of the landlord of the Denver Restaurant for $500,000.

(The loans and credit facilities obtained by CCRG from Frost are collectively referred to as the

“Frost Loan Facilities”).

7. In July, 2005, Sambol and Lenox entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”)

under which they agreed to the apportionment of the assets and liabilities relating to the Bob’s

Steak & Chop House business enterprise, including interests in various restaurant limited

partnerships and intellectual property rights. As provided under the terms of the Agreement,

Sambol became through existing intermediate entities the sole owner of Silveroak and CCRG and

their respective restaurants (the Original Restaurant and the Denver Restaurant), along with

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 4
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 5 of 20

related liabilities. Lenox (through an entity known as Lenox Restaurant Group, Ltd.) took

ownership of, among other things, the intellectual property rights associated with the Bob’s Steak

& Chop House concept and the full ownership of Legacy Restaurant Group, Ltd., which owned

and controlled the Bob's Steak & Chop House restaurant in Plano, Texas.

8. At the time that the Agreement was entered into, Sambol believed that the Denver

Restaurant would be a success. Unfortunately, that did not prove to be the case and the

restaurant was subsequently closed in the spring of 2006 after continued losses.

9. The failure of the Denver Restaurant is largely the reason why Silveroak has found

it necessary to file for bankruptcy relief. Among other things, Silveroak was a guarantor of the

Frost Loan Facilities. Silveroak has paid down the principal (along with interest) due under those

facilities (as modified from time-to-time) from the original combined principal amount of

approximately $1.9 million to the current principal debt of approximately $400,000. Silveroak’s

average monthly payments of principal and interest to Frost had been between $30,000 to

$40,000 per month on the Frost Loan Facilities. The Frost Loan Facilities were ultimately

modified such that as of the Petition Date, the principal and interest payments under the facilities

were approximately $18,000 per month. Additionally, Silveroak itself provided additional

working capital needed to operate the Denver Restaurant until the restaurant was closed. Those

payments totaled approximately $30,000 per month.

10. The working capital and debt burdens resulting from the start-up of the Denver

Restaurant placed a severe capital strain on Silveroak. To meet that burden, Silveroak obtained

additional high interest rate unsecured loans from Rewards Network and Advance Restaurant

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 5
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 6 of 20

Finance (the “Unsecured Lenders”). As of the Petition Date, the total monthly debt service to the

Unsecured Lenders was approximately $40,000 to $50,000 per month.

11. In the 2007 calendar year, Silveroak had revenues of approximately $6.6 million

with a loss of approximately $225,000. In the 2008 calendar year, during which restaurant

businesses have been adversely affected by the current economic downturn, Silveroak had

revenues of approximately $5.9 million, with a loss of approximately $200,000. Absent the need

to service the debt that directly or indirectly resulted from the Denver Restaurant, Silveroak

believes that it would have been profitable over the last several years, including 2008.

12. Currently, Silveroak has approximately 47 full-time and part-time employees,

including Sambol (who manages the Dallas Restaurant).

13. Silveroak’s debt servicing burdens to Frost and the Unsecured Lenders, in

combination with its need to satisfy ongoing operating expenses, were quite simply

unsupportable. To meet its debt servicing burdens, Silveroak has had to defer payments to its

landlord and numerous trade vendors and defer maintenance and imrprovements on the Original

Restaurant. In the period prior to the Petition Date, certain of those vendors and other creditors

threaten to take actions that would have resulted in the closure of the Original Restaurant.

14. Silveroak sought bankruptcy protection to avoid disruption to its business,

weather from lenders, its landlord, or its trade vendors, and to attempt to either restructure

through the bankruptcy plan process or to otherwise maximize the recovery to its creditors

through a sale of its operations.

Document Page 7 of 20

B. Significant Post-Petition Events

1. Post-Petition Events and Operations.

15. Silveroak has continued to operate during the course of this Bankruptcy Case. As

of the Petition Date, Silveroak had $11,730.86 in cash and cash-equivalent assets (the “Cash

Collateral”), which it believed was subject to the liens and security interests of Frost, its principal

secured lender. Silveroak moved and obtained interim authority to use the Cash Collateral.

Because of concerns that it had insufficient liquidity to continue operations, Silveroak also moved

for authority to borrow up to $50,000.00 from Lenox Restaurant Group, Ltd. (in that capacity, the

“DIP Lender”) in accordance with section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “DIP Loan Facility”).

16. Competing claims arose with respect to ownership interests in the Cash Collateral

and the terms and conditions under which persons holding such interests would permit Silveroak

to use such funds. Consequently, Silveroak determined to set aside in a separate account the Cash

Collateral and to fund operations with post-petition revenues and from the funds available for

borrowing under the DIP Loan Facility.

17. Initially, Silveroak borrowed the sum of $20,000 under the DIP Loan Facility.

Silveroak has subsequently repaid the principal due under the DIP Loan Facility. Silverpoint

continues to operate using post-petition revenues generated from its operations.

2. Marketing Efforts of the Debtor

18. Silveroak’s bankruptcy filing received considerable media attention in the local

media and it is believed that the bankruptcy filing and possible sale of the Original Restaurant has

become readably known in the local restaurant community. Silveroak has actively communicated

with all persons who have expressed an interest in purchasing the Original Restaurant and has

communicated to business persons in the restaurant industry the possible sale of the Original

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 7
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 8 of 20

Restaurant. In furtherance of those marketing efforts, Silveroak has assembled financial

information and other documents that it believes a reasonable potential purchaser would rely upon

in analyzing the Original Restaurant and its business prospects (the “Due Diligence Documents”).

Silveroak has offered to provide the Due Diligence Documents to potential purchasers subject to

the execution of a standard non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement. Silveroak has also

provided the Due Diligence Documents to Frost.

19. To date, only one entity has made a firm offer (the “Initial Bid”) to purchase

Silveraok’s operations – BSCH. BSCH is an entity that is owned directly or indirectly by Lenox

(through Lenox Restaurant Group, Ltd.) and Omni Hotels Corporation, and is an affiliate of the

licensor of the “Bob’s Steak & Chop House” trade name and related intellectual property rights.

20. The Initial Bid is set forth in the Term Sheet dated July 29, 2009, a true and correct

copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Term Sheet”). The Term Sheet

contemplates that the assets, including real property leases, will be sold through a competitive bid

process with BSCH serving as stalking horse bidder and providing that BSCH shall have certain

limited bid protections.

IV.
JUSTIFICATION FOR SECTION 363 SALE

21. As discussed above, Silveroak has been active in seeking purchasers for the

Original Restaurant. Unfortunately, however, Silveroak finds itself in what is very arguably the

worst financial crisis since the Depression-era. Premier restaurants, such as the Original

Restaurant, have been particularly hard-hit by the current financial situation. Among other

things, a significant amount of business for the Original Restaurant is derived from corporate

entertainment functions. Corporate budgets for such activities have been drastically reduced by

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 8
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 9 of 20

many area businesses and there are relatively few “closing dinners” being held because there are

very few deals being done.

22. In light of time and expense of reorganization under the plan process and other

considerations (including the amount of secured debt encumbering Silveroak’s assets), Silveroak

has determined that most favorable mechanism for recovering the maximum value for its assets

and to recovery on its going-concern value is through a competitive bid auction of its business

operations under section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Silveroak proposes to effectuate such a

sale under the general procedures set forth in Exhibit “B” hereto (the “Sale Procedures”), with

BSCH acting as the stalking-horse bidder for Silveroak’s assets.

V.
RELIEF REQUESTED

23. By this Motion, pursuant to sections 105, 363, and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code

and Bankruptcy Rules 2002, 6004, 6006, and 9014, Silveroak sees an order providing for the

following:1

a. Approving the Sale Procedures.

b. Approving BSCH as a Qualified Bidder and as the Stalking


Horse, and granting the Bid Protections.

c. Upon completion of the competitive bid process


contemplated under the Sale Procedures and the
designation by Silveroak or its secessor of the Highest and
Best Bid, approving a sale of the Assets and the assumption
and assignment of the Designated Leases and Contracts to
the person having submitted the Highest and Best Bid, such
sale to be free and clear of all liens, claims, interests, and
encumbrances and providing that the purchaser is a good
faith purchaser for value.

1
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Sale
Procedures.

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 9
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 10 of 20

d. In connection with the assumption and assignment of any


Desginated Leases and Executory Contracts, establishing
the amount of any cure claim to be paid by any counter-
party to the lease or executory contract.

e. Waiving any 10-day stay imposed by Bankruptcy Rules


6004 and 6006; and

f. Granting such other and further relief as is just and proper.

A. The Sale Is An Exercise of Sound Business Judgment And Should Be

Approved.

24. Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code authorizes a debtor to sell assets of the estate

other than in the ordinary course of business and provides, in relevant part: “[t]he trustee, after

notice and a hearing, may use, sell or lease, other than in the ordinary course of business, property

of the estate . . . .” 11 U.S.C. § 363(b)(1).

25. Courts approve proposed sales of property pursuant to section 363(b) if the

transaction represents the reasonable business judgment of the debtor. See Committee of Equity

Security Holders v. Lionel Corp. (In re Lionel Corp.), 722 F.2d 1063 (2d Cir. 1983); see also In

re Delaware & Hudson Rv. Co., 124 B.R. 169,176 (D. Del. 1991) (holding that a court must be

satisfied that there is a “sound business reason” justifying the preconfirmation sale of assets); In

re Phoenix Steel Corp., 82 B.R. 334, 335-36 (Bankr. D. Del. 1987) (stating that the elements

necessary for approval of a section 363 sale in a Chapter 11 case are “that the proposed sale is

fair and equitable, that there is a good business reason for completing the sale and the transaction

is in good faith”); Stephens Indus. Inc. v. McClung, 789 F.2d 386, 391 (6th Cir. 1986).

26. If a valid business justification exists for the sale, as it does in this case, a debtor’s

decision to sell property out of the ordinary course of business enjoys a strong presumption “that

in making a business decision the directors of a corporation acted on an informed basis, in good

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 10
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 11 of 20

faith and in an honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the company.” In re

Integrated Res., Inc., 147 B.R. 650, 656 (S.D.N.Y. 1992) (quoting Smith v. Van Gorkom, 488

A.2d 858, 872 (Del. 1985)). Therefore, any party objecting to the debtor’s proposed asset sale

must make a showing of “bad faith, self-interest or gross negligence.” Id. at 656; see also Comm.

of Asbestos-Related Litigants v. Johns-Manville Corp. (In re Johns-Manville Corp.), 60 B.R.

612, 616 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1986) (“Where the debtor articulates a reasonable basis for its

business decisions (as distinct from a decision made arbitrarily or capriciously), courts will

generally not entertain objections to the debtor’s conduct.”).

27. In determining whether a proposed sale satisfies this standard, courts consider the

following: (a) whether a sound business justification exists for the sale; (b) whether adequate and

reasonable notice of the sale was given to interested parties; (c) whether the sale will produce a fair

and reasonable price for the property; and (d) whether the parties have acted in good faith. See,

e.g., In re Delaware & Hudson Ry. Co., 124 B.R. 169, 176 (D. Del. 1991); In re Phoenix Steel

Corp., 82 B.R. 334, 335-36 (D. Del. 1987). The proposed sale satisfies all these factors.

28. Silveroak has proposed the sale of the Purchased Assets after thorough

consideration of possible alternatives and have concluded that the sale is supported by a number

of sound business reasons. In particular, the facts described above support an expeditious

sale of the Purchased Assets to preserve Silveroak’s going-concern value. The maximization of

asset value for the benefit of creditors reflects a sound business purpose that warrants

authorization of the proposed sale.

29. Among other things, the value to be received by Silveroak’s estate for the

Purchased Assets as a going concern exceeds any value that would be realized for the Purchased

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 11
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 12 of 20

Assets if they were sold through a liquidation process. Furthermore, the Sale Procedures provide

a mechanism for other parties to submit higher or otherwise more desirable bids.

B. The Sale Of The Purchased Assets Will Be Free And Clear Of Liens, Claims,

Encumbrances, And Interests.

30. Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code authorizes a debtor to sell assets free and

clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances in property of an entity other than the estate if -

(1) applicable nonbankruptcy law permits a sale of such


property free and clear of such interest;

(2) such entity consents;

(3) such interest is a lien and the price at which such


property is to be sold is greater than the value of all liens
on such property;

(4) such interest is in bona fide dispute; or

(5) such entity could be compelled, in a legal or equitable


proceeding, to accept a money satisfaction of such interest.

11 U.S.C. § 363(f).

31. Because section 363(f) is drafted in the disjunctive, satisfaction of any one of its

five (5) requirements will suffice to permit the sale of the Purchased Assets “free and clear” of

liens and interests. Michigan Employment Sec. Comm’n v. Wolverine Radio Co. (In re Wolverine

Radio Co.), 930 F.2d 1132, 1147 n.24 (6th Cir. 1991) (stating that Bankruptcy Code section

363(f) is written in the disjunctive; holding that the court may approve the sale “free and clear”

provided at least one of the subsections of Bankruptcy Code section 363(f) is met); In re

Dundee Equity Corp., No. 89-B-10233, 1992 WL 53743, at *4 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Mar. 6,

1992) (“[S]ection 363(f) is in the disjunctive, such that the sale free of the interest concerned may

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 12
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 13 of 20

occur if any one of the conditions of § 363(f) have been met.”); In re Bygaph, Inc., 56 B.R. 596,

606 n.8 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1986).

32. The Court also may authorize the sale of a debtor’s assets free and clear of any

liens pursuant to section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, even if section 363(f) did not apply. See In

re Trans World Airlines. Inc., No. 01-0056, 2001 WL 1820325, at *3 (Bankr. D. Del. Mar. 27,

2001) (“Bankruptcy courts have long had the authority to authorize the sale of estate assets

free and clear even in the absence of § 363(f).”); see also Volvo White Truck Corp. v.

Chambersberg Beverage, Inc. (In re White Motor Credit Corp.), 75 B.R. 944, 948 (Banks.

N.D. Ohio 1987) (“Authority to conduct such sales [free and clear of liens] is within the court’s

equitable powers when necessary to carry out the provisions of Title 11.”).

33. Regarding the sale of the Purchased Assets, Silveroak believes that at least one of

the tests in section 363(f) will be satisfied. In particular, Silveroak believes that section 363(f)(2)

will be met because each of the parties holding liens, if any, on the Purchased Assets will consent

or, absent any objection to this Motion, be deemed to have consented to the sale and transfer of

the Purchased Assets. Further, any lienholder in the Purchased Assets will be adequately

protected by having its liens, if any, attach to the sale proceeds received by Silveroak. These

liens will attach to such proceeds in the same order of priority, validity, force, and effect that such

creditor/lienholder had prior to such sale, subject to any claims and defenses possessed by

Silveroak and its estate with respect thereto. Accordingly, section 363(f) authorizes the sale

and transfer of the Purchased Assets free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances, and

interests.

34. Finally, even if the requirements of section 363(f) cannot be met, cause exist to

permit the proposed sale under the Sale Procedures because those procedures do nothing to alter

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 13
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 14 of 20

the right of any secured creditor to to credit-bid for their collateral to the extent allowed under

section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code.

C. The Terms of the Proposed Sale Where Negotiated In Good Faith.

35. If BSCH is determined to be the Highest and Best Bidder, Silveroak intends to

produce evidence at the Sale Hearing that the terms of BSCH’ bid were negotiated in good faith

and at arms’ length and that Silveroak undertook to obtain competing and better offers from a

variety of possible purchasers. Thus, BSCH (if it is determined to have submitted the Highest

and Best Bid) is entitled to the protections of a good-faith purchaser under section 363(m) of the

Bankruptcy Code, and that the contemplated sale does not constitute an avoidable transaction

pursuant to section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.

36. Further, any agreement executed with or related to the sale of the Purchased

Assets will provide substantial value to the Silveroak bankruptcy estate because it will facilitate

an efficient and valuable disposition of the Purchased Assets for fair and reasonable

consideration. See Mellon Bank, NA. v. Metro Communications, Inc., 945 F.2d 635 (3d

Cir.1991) (finding that reasonably equivalent value existed under the Bankruptcy Code), cert.

denied, 503 U.S. 937 (1992); see also Mellon Bank, N.A. v. Official Comm. of Unsecured

Creditors (In re R.M.I., Inc.), 92 F.3d 139 (3d Cir. 1996); Salisbury v. Texas Commerce Bank-

Houston, N.A. (In re WCC Holding Corp.), 171 B.R. 972, 984 (Bank. N.D. Tex. 1994)

Document Page 15 of 20

pursuant to the Sale Procedures represents an exercise of sound business judgment and in the

best interests of Silveroak and its estate and, thus, should be approved in all respects.

D. Approval oF The Form Of Asset Purchase Agreement.

37. In connection with a sale of substantially all of a debtor’s assets, bankruptcy

courts routinely approve entry into asset purchase agreements. See, e.g., In re Enron Corp., No.

01-16034, 2002 WL 32154269, at *4 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Apr. 24, 2002). Such agreements are

approved if they are an exercise of the debtor’s sound business judgment. See, e.g., In re Decora

Indus., Inc., No. 00-4459, 2002 WL 32332377, at *5 (Bankr. D. Del. May 17, 2002); In re Arlco,

Inc., 239 B.R. 261, 265 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y, 1999).

38. Here, Silveroak intends to submit and serve within seven (7) days prior to the

hearing scheduled to consider the Sale Procedures (the “Sale Procedures Hearing”) a form of

asset purchase agreement and other transactional documents negotiated by it and BSCH for

approval and for use by other Qualified Bidders. At any subsequent hearing to approve the

contemplated sale, Silveroak shall seek approval of this Court to execute such documents on

behalf of the estate and that such execution is within the sound exercise of its business judgment.

E. Assumption And Assignment of Designated Contracts Is Authorized By

Section 365 Of The Bankruptcy Code.

39. Sections 365(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy Code authorize a debtor in possession to

assume, subject to the court’s approval, executory contracts or unexpired leases of the debtor.

11 U.S.C. § 365(a) and (b); In re Jamesway Corp., 201 B.R. 73, 76 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1996).

Under section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor, “subject to the court’s approval, may

assume or reject any executory contract or unexpired lease of the debtor.” 11 U.S.C. § 365(a). In

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 15
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 16 of 20

turn, section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code codifies the requirements for assuming an

unexpired lease or executory contract of a debtor, providing as follows:

(b)(1) If there has been a default in an executory contract or


unexpired lease of the debtor, the trustee may not assume such
contract or lease unless, at the time of assumption of such contract
or lease, the trustee

(A) cures or provides adequate assurance that the trustee


will promptly cure, such default …;

(B) compensates, or provides adequate assurance that


the trustee will promptly compensate, a party other
than the debtor to such contract or lease, for any
actual pecuniary loss to such party resulting from
such default; and

(C) provides adequate assurance of future performance


under such contract or lease.

11 U.S.C. § 365(b)(1).

40. In analyzing whether the assumption or rejection of an executory contract or

unexpired lease pursuant to section 365(a) should be approved, courts apply the “business-

judgment” test, which requires a determination that the requested assumption or rejection be

beneficial to the estate. See, e.g., In re Group of Institutional Investors, Inc. v. Chicago,

Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pac. R.R. Co., 318 U.S. 523, 550 (1943) (“The question [of assumption]

is one of business judgment.”); Orion Pictures Corp. v. Showtime Networks, Inc. (In re Orion

Pictures Corp.), 4 F.3d 1095, 1098-99 (2d Cir. 1993) (holding that, when deciding whether to

grant a motion to assume, a court must put itself in the trustee’s position and determine whether

such assumption would be a good decision or a bad one).

41. Courts generally will not second-guess a debtor’s business judgment concerning

the assumption of an executory contract. See In re Paolo Gucci, 193 B.R. 411, 414 (S.D.N.Y.

DEBTOR’S MOTION FOR ORDER PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 363, AND 365 PAGE 16
Case 09-33211-hdh11 Doc 71 Filed 08/14/09 Entered 08/14/09 17:33:27 Desc Main
Document Page 17 of 20

1996); Sharon Steel Corp. v. National Gas Fuel Distrib. Corp. (In re Sharon Steel Corp.), 872 F.2d

36, 40 (3d Cir. 1989); In re III Enter., Inc., 163 B.R. 453, 469 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 1994) (“Generally, a

court will give great deference to a debtor’s decision to assume or reject an executory contract. A

debtor need only show that its decision to assume or reject the contract is an exercise of sound

business judgment—a standard which we have concluded many times is not difficult to meet.”).

42. Here, the Debtor’ assumption and assignment of the Designated Contracts to the

Buyer or any other Qualified Bidder that submits the Highest and Best Bid for the Purchased

Assets meets the business-judgment standard and satisfies the requirements of section 365 of the

Bankruptcy Code. As discussed above, the sale contemplated by this Motion will provide

significant benefit to the Silveroak estate. Because Silveroak cannot obtain the benefits of the

sale without the assumption and assignment of the Designated Contracts, the assumption of these

Designated Contracts is undoubtedly a sound exercise of Silveroak’s business judgment.

43. Further, a debtor in possession may assign an executory contract or an unexpired

lease of the debtor if it assumes the agreement in accordance with section 365(a), and provides

adequate assurance of future performance by the assignee, whether or not there has been a

default under the agreement. See 11 U.S.C. § 365(f)(2). Significantly, among other things,

adequate assurance may be provided by demonstrating the assignee’s financial health and

experience in managing the type of enterprise or property assigned. See, e.g„ In re Bygaph, Inc.,

56 B.R. 596, 605-06 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1986) (stating that adequate assurance of future

performance is present when the prospective assignee of a lease from the debtor has financial

resources and has expressed willingness to devote sufficient funding to the business in order to

give it a strong likelihood of succeeding). The meaning of “adequate assurance of future

performance” depends on the facts and circumstances of each case, but it should be given

“practical, pragmatic construction.” EBG Midtown South Corp. v. McLaren/Hart Environmental

Eng’g. Corp. (In re Sanshoe Worldwide Corp.), 139 B.R. 585, 592 (S.D.N.Y. 1992) (citations

omitted), aff’d, 993 F.2d 300 (2d Cir. 1993).

44. The Sale Hearing will provide this Court and other interested parties with the

opportunity to evaluate and, if necessary, challenge the ability of BSCH or any other Qualified

Bidder that is determined to have submitted the Highest and Best Bid on the grounds of adequate

assurance of future performance.

F. Cause Exists To Eliminate Any Stay Imposed By The Bankruptcy Rules.

45. Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h)2 provides that an “order authorizing the use, sale, or

lease of property . . . is stayed until the expiration of 10 days after entry of the order, unless the

court orders otherwise.” FED. R. BANKR. P. 6004(h). Bankruptcy Rule 6006 provides that an

“order authorizing the trustee to assign an executory contract or unexpired lease under § 365(f) is

stayed until the expiration of 10 days after entry of the order, unless the court orders otherwise.”

FED. R. BANKR. P. 6006(d).

46. Silveroak requests that any order approving this Motion (or authorizing a

transaction that is deemed to be a sale of the Purchased Assets) be effective immediately, thereby

waiving the 10-day stays imposed by Bankruptcy Rules 6004 and 6006. These waivers or

eliminations of the 10-day stay is in the best interest of Silveroak and its creditors insofar as it will

permit the contemplated sale to close as expeditiously as possible.

Pursuant to this Court’s General Order entered on September 20, 2005, this Court adopted the Interim Bankruptcy Rules
Approved by the Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules and the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Judicial
Conference of the United States in August 2005, which renumbered former Bankruptcy Rule 6004(g) to 6004(h).
