Case 16-42529 Doc 32 Filed 04/13/16 Entered 04/13/16 11:43:47 Main Document <br />Pg 12 of 21 <br />24. As stated above, the Debtors believe that performing transactions under the ADM <br />Agreement is within the ordinary course of their businesses. Accordingly, providing Credit <br />Support is also within the ordinary course of the Debtors' businesses. Moreover, the relief <br />requested herein is in the best interest of the Debtors' estates and creditors. <br />25. Further, the Court may authorize the Debtors to provide Credit Support in <br />accordance with the ADM Agreement pending assumption pursuant to section 105(a) of the <br />Bankruptcy Code. Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code empowers a bankruptcy court to issue <br />"any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of <br />the Bankruptcy Code. 11 U.S.C. § 105. The purpose of section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code is <br />to ensure the bankruptcy court has the power to take whatever action "is appropriate or necessary <br />in aid of the exercise of [its] jurisdiction." 2 Collier on Bankruptcy 1105.01 (Alan N. Resnick & <br />Henry J. Sommer eds., 16th ed. 2015). "Under [section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code,] the court <br />can permit pre -plan payment of a pre-petition obligation when essential to the continued <br />operation of the debtor." In re NVR L.P., 147 B.R. 126, 127 (Bankr. E.D. Va. 1992) (citing In re <br />Ionosphere Clubs, Inc., 98 B.R. 174, 177 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1989)). <br />26. In addition, under the "doctrine of necessity," courts allow the immediate <br />payment of prepetition claims where such payment is essential to the debtor's continued <br />operations. See In re Wehrenberg Inc., 260 B.R. 468, 469 (Bankr. E.D Mo. 2001) ("Pursuant to <br />11 U.S.C. § 105(a) the Court may authorize the payment of prepetition claims when such <br />payments are necessary to the continued operation of the Debtor."); In re United Am., Inc., 327 <br />B.R. 776, 782 (Bankr. E.D. Va. 2005) (acknowledging the existence of the doctrine of necessity <br />"because otherwise there will be no reorganization and no creditor will have an opportunity to <br />recoup any part of its prepetition claim"); accord In re Boston & Me. Corp., 634 F.2d 1359, 1382 <br />-12- <br />
