U. S. BANKRUPTCY JUDGE

Chapter 11


STIPULATION AND CONSENT ORDER AUTHORIZING USE OF

CASH COLLATERAL UNTIL FEBRUARY 17, 2012 AND

GRANTING ADEQUATE PROTECTION

UPON CONSIDERATION of the Emergency Motion for Authorization to Use Cash Collateral to Pay Ordinary and Necessary Expenses Within the Ordinary Course of Business (the "Motion"), dated January 20, 2012, filed by Wolf Landscape Company, the Debtor and Debtor-in-Possession in this case (the "Debtor"); the stipulation of the parties; and after a hearing on the Motion pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 4001(b)(2) having been held before the Court on January 30, 2012 (the "Hearing"); this Court finds as follows:

1. On January 19, 2012, (the "Petition Date") the Debtor commenced a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor intends to continue in possession of its properties and the management of its business as a Debtor-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

2. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction to consider this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b). Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

3. The Motion was served on (i) the twenty (20) largest creditors listed in the Debtor's case, (ii) the U.S. Trustee, and (iii) the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") and service is sufficient under Bankruptcy Rule 4001.

4. Entry of this Order will prevent irreparable harm to the Debtor's business, property and estate.

5. Prior to the filing of the Debtor's bankruptcy petition, the Service filed notices of federal tax lien for the following tax liabilities of the Debtor: quarterly FICA taxes for the third and fourth quarters of 2009; quarterly FICA taxes for the first, second, third, and fourth quarters of 2010; yearly FUTA taxes for 2010; and quarterly FICA taxes for the first, second, and third quarters of 2011. The liens identified in those notices encumbered all property or rights to property belonging to the Debtor and secured unpaid taxes, penalties and interest owed by the Debtor. The Service is a secured creditor of the Debtor by virtue of its having filed notices of federal tax liens prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 petition. Copies of the Notices of Federal Tax Lien are attached as Exhibit A.

6. The federal tax liens arise upon the date of assessment and attach to all property and rights to property whether real or personal belonging the Debtor pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6321 and 6322, including cash and cash equivalents, defined as cash collateral in 11 U.S.C. § 363(a) ("Cash Collateral"). The filing of the notices of federal tax lien prior to the Petition Date perfects the lien interest of the Service against subsequent bona fide purchasers and is not avoidable under 11 U.S.C. § 545.

7. The Service has a secured claim against the debtor's Cash Collateral in the amount of $678,041.81 by virtue of its prepetition liens.

8. The Service and the Debtor have agreed to the Debtor's continued use of Cash Collateral for the purpose of paying the reasonable, necessary and ordinary expenses of operating the Debtor's business accruing from and after the Petition Date to the extent authorized herein, subject to the terms and conditions of this Stipulation. The Debtor's use of Cash Collateral shall be expressly limited to those amounts specified in the 30 day budget attached as Exhibit B.

9. The Service is entitled, pursuant to sections 361 and 363(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, to adequate protection, of its interests in the all of the debtor's prepetition collateral, including the cash collateral, in an amount equal to the aggregate diminution in value, if any, of such interests from and after the Petition Date, including, without limitation, any such diminution resulting from the sale, lease or use by the Debtor (or other decline in value) of Cash Collateral and any other prepetition collateral and the imposition of the automatic stay pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, it is, by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland, hereby:

ORDERED, that the Motion is GRANTED subject to and conditioned upon the terms of this Order and this Order shall immediately become effective upon its entry; and it is further

ORDERED, that all of the Debtor's accounts, account receivables, cash and cash equivalents existing as of the petition date and any cash proceeds of the disposition of any such assets are Cash Collateral of the Service within the meaning of section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; and it is further

ORDERED, that, to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to this bankruptcy estate, the Debtor is hereby authorized to use cash collateral, during the period from the date of entry of this Order through and including February 17, 2012, for purposes and in the amounts set forth in Exhibit B; provided, however, that the Service is granted adequate protection as hereinafter set forth; and it is further

ORDERED, that the Debtor shall pay as adequate protection, by certified check, cashiers check, or money order, $1,785 on January 30, 2012, and $16,500 on or before February 17, 2012. Payment will be delivered to Anita Jackson, Advisor, Internal Revenue Service, Insolvency Unit, Room 1150, 31 Hopkins Plaza, Baltimore, Maryland 21201, except that the January 30, 2012 payment may be delivered to counsel for the Service; and it is further

ORDERED, that the Service is hereby granted a valid, enforceable, perfected replacement security interest in and lien on all of the Debtor's prepetition collateral, to the extent of any diminution in value of such collateral, retroactive to the Petition Date in addition to its existing prepetition security interests, subject, however, to a "carve out" of $50,000.00 for the benefit of administrative expense priority fees of professionals in this case allowed following submission of an appropriate fee application and order of the Court (the "Carveout"); and it is further

ORDERED, that, subject to the Carveout, the Service shall have an allowed superpriority claim as provided in section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the "507(b) Claim"), against the Debtor and all property of its estate, in an amount equal to the diminution in value of debtor's prepetition assets, if any, with priority in payment over any and all administrative expenses of the kinds specified or ordered pursuant to any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation, sections 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 726, 1113 and 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such expenses or claims arise in this case or in any subsequent case or proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code that may result therefrom, including, without limitation, a proceeding under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or become secured by a judgment lien or other lien, levy or attachment, which 507(b) Claim shall be payable from and have recourse to all prepetition and postpetition property of the Debtor and all proceeds thereof and shall at all times be senior to the rights of the Debtor, and any successor trustee or any creditor in the case or any subsequent proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code; and it is

ORDERED, that the liens and security interests granted by this Order, shall become and are duly perfected without the necessity for the execution, filing or recording of financing statements, security agreements and other documents which might otherwise be required pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law for the creation or perfection of such liens and security interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Service may, in its sole discretion, file such financing statements, security agreements, notices of lien, or similar instruments or otherwise confirm perfection of such liens and security interests consistent with this Order without seeking modification of the automatic stay under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, and all such documents shall be deemed to have been filed or recorded at the time of and on the petition date; and it is further

ORDERED, that the Debtor shall use the proceeds of any prepetition collateral (including the cash collateral) solely as provided in this Order; and it is further

ORDERED, that the Debtor shall furnish to the Service, monthly, a written report of its operations which shall include all receipts, collections, disbursements, payments, cash balances and the like, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Service; and it is further

ORDERED, That the Debtor shall file all tax returns and pay all taxes required under the Internal Revenue Code when due and otherwise comply with the Internal Revenue Code; in addition, the Debtor shall provide copies of all tax returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service to Anita Jackson, Advisor, Internal Revenue Service, Insolvency Unit, by faxing them to (410) 962-2025, and it is further

ORDERED that the Debtor shall provide to the Service proof of payments of all taxes (including but not limited to withholding and income taxes) on the date of payment by faxing proof of payment to Anita Jackson, Advisor, Internal Revenue Service, Insolvency Unit, fax number: (410) 962-2025, and it is further

ORDERED, that, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the grants of adequate protection pursuant hereto are without prejudice to the rights of the Service to seek modification thereof so as to provide different or additional adequate protection and to seek relief from the automatic stay and are without prejudice to the right of the Debtor to contest any such requested relief or modification. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Order (including, without limitation, the authorization to use Cash Collateral) shall impair or modify any rights, claims or defenses available in law or equity to the Debtor and to the Service; and it is further

ORDERED, that nothing contained herein shall preclude any party-in-interest from seeking modification of this Order upon appropriate motion to this Court and after proper notice to the Debtor, the Service, and parties in interest, and the Service reserves all rights, remedies and defenses in this regard; and it is further

ORDERED, that the provisions of this Order shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Service, the Debtor, and their respective successors and permitted assigns; and it is further

ORDERED, that the provisions of this Order and any actions taken pursuant hereto shall survive the entry of any order (i) converting the case to a Chapter 7 case; or (ii) dismissing the case, and the terms and provisions of this Final Order as well as the Adequate Protection Liens granted pursuant to this Order shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the entry of any such order, and such claims and liens shall maintain their priority as provided by this Order and to the maximum extent permitted by law; and it is further

ORDERED, that this Order constitutes findings of fact and conclusions of law and shall take effect and be fully enforceable immediately upon the entry thereof; and it is further

ORDERED, that upon default of the terms and conditions set forth in this Order, the Service shall be entitled to seek termination of the use of Cash Collateral upon notice and opportunity for hearing; and it is further

ORDERED, that the Debtor shall promptly mail copies of this Order to those parties having been given notice of the emergency hearing on the Motion, any other person required by applicable rules of bankruptcy procedure to receive such notice and to any other party that has filed a request for notices with this Court.
