Investopedia explains 'Cash Collateral '

Cash collateral is only an issue for corporate bankruptcy proceedings. When a creditor has an interest in a company's proceeds (such as a bondholder), the cash generated when these proceeds are sold is considered cash collateral and therefore can't be used by the debtor without the creditor's consent or by court order.
