this Chapter 11 are set forth in the Declaration of Scott Pearson in Support of First Day Motions (Pearson Declaration). II. A. Cash Management System As described more fully below, prior to the commencement of this Chapter 11 case, the Debtor maintained at least 81 bank accounts with various depository institutions. A list of the bank accounts and the purpose of each is attached hereto as Exhibit A, as well as Exhibit A to the Pearson Declaration. Each stores deposits are identified either through the account into which it deposits (as is the case with US Bank accounts) or through the deposit slips used to deposit into the account (as is the case with Bank of America Account 0907). Pearson Decl. All Depository accounts at US Bank are swept into US Bank Account 2993 (Concentration Account) on a daily basis, leaving a zero balance in each account. Id. The Debtor maintains disbursement accounts for accounts payable (US Bank 8315), payroll and payroll taxes (US Bank 3009 and 3025) (Disbursement Accounts). Id. All Disbursement Accounts maintain zero balances and pull funds from the Concentration Account daily to pay as needed. Id. The only accounts that require manual intervention to manage are: (1) US Bank Account 3033 which the Debtor funds on a weekly basis from the Concentration Account for monthly payment to the State of Washington for sales taxes; and (2) Bank of America Account from which the Debtor wires deposited funds to the Concentration Account on a weekly basis.

III.

PRE-PETITION CHECKS AND CHECKING ACCOUNTS

The parties with which the Debtor transacts business will be aware of its status as a debtor-inpossession. Pearson Decl. It would be needlessly burdensome, as well as disruptive to business operations, for the Debtor to change its bank accounts and checks. Id. The Debtor therefore respectfully requests that it be authorized to use its prepetition checks and checking accounts without placing the label debtor-in-possession on each check. IV. GIFT CARDS AND CUSTOMER DEPOSITS

As part of the Debtors operation, it sells gift cards and loyalty cards, which the customer funds in advance and which are accepted as payment for purchases in the ordinary course of the Debtors business (together, the cards are referred to herein as Customer Cards). Pearson Decl. The denomination of the Customer Cards generally ranges from $5 to $100. Id. Redemption of Customer Cards in August 2012 was approximately $645,261. In order to 1) maintain customer relations and the orderly flow of its business; 2) avoid harm to the Debtor's business; and 3) ensure that customers will continue to purchase gift cards, a meaningful source of revenue, the Debtor requests authority to honor Customer Cards purchased prepetition that are presented by customers post-petition. Id. None of the Customer Cards exceed $2,600, the priority deposit amount set forth in 11 U.S.C. 507(a)(7). Id. V. CONCLUSION

Based upon the foregoing, the Debtor respectfully requests that the Court enter an order authorizing it to continue use of its existing cash management system, continue use of its prepetition /// /// /// EMERGENCY MOTION FOR ORDER AUTHORIZING DEBTOR TO CONTINUE USE OF EXISTING CASH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Page 3
