- denying default interest where oversecured creditor was adequately protected, and \[t]here was never any cognizable risk that [the creditor] would go unpaid\
- “Section 506(b)’s language, however, does not compel the conclusion that the contract rate or rates bind the court. The statute provides only that the holder of an oversecured claim be allowed ‘interest on such claim.’ Section 506(b) does not specify the rate.”
