In support of the Objection, the Liquidating Trust submits the Declaration of John Demro, Senior Tax Director and Chief Tax Officer for the Liquidating Trust (annexed hereto as Exhibit 2, the Demro Decl., and respectfully represents as follows: 1 On August 16, 2012, the Claimant filed four (4 claims, each in the amount of $6,420,622.09 (the August 2012 Claims. The Ohio Claims amended the August 2012 and specifically provided that the Ohio Claims should be considered to supersede the [August 2012 Claims]. 2 The Liquidating Trust reserves all its rights to amend this Objection should any further bases come to light based on information included in any response to this Objection.

This Court has jurisdiction over this Objection under 28 U.S.C. 1334. This matter is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. 157(b. Venue is proper before this Court under 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409. 2. The statutory predicate for the relief requested herein is section 502(b of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3007(a. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 3. The Claimant filed claims against four debtor entities on account of alleged commercial activity taxes for 2006. However, the Debtors records do not reflect that any of the four debtor entities conducted any commercial activity within Ohio in 2006, so it is unclear to the Liquidating Trust the basis for purported liability of any of the Debtors to the Claimant. And, the Ohio Claims do not provide any further insight because they each lack the specificity to establish a valid claim against the Debtors. Moreover, based on the vintage of the alleged liability, there is no basis for the claimant to be entitled to a priority general unsecured claim. Accordingly, for the reasons discussed in greater detail below, the Ohio Claims are without merit and should be disallowed and expunged in their entirety. BACKGROUND 4. On May 14, 2012, each of the Debtors filed a voluntary petition in this Court for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. These Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b. 5. On May 16, 2012, the Court entered an order [Docket No. 96] appointing Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC ( KCC as the notice and claims agent in these Chapter 11 Cases. Among other things, KCC is authorized to (a receive, maintain, and record and ny-1180957 2

On or about August 16, 2012, the Claimant filed the August 2012 Claims, which were amended and superseded by the Ohio Claims, which were filed on or about October 29, 2013. 7. On August 29, 2012, this Court entered the Bar Date Order, which established, among other things, (i November 9, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. (Prevailing Eastern Time as the deadline to file proofs of claim by virtually all creditors against the Debtors (the General Bar Date and prescribed the form and manner for filing proofs of claim; and (ii November 30, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. (Prevailing Eastern Time as the deadline for governmental units to file proofs of claim (the Governmental Bar Date and, together with the General Bar Date, as applicable, the Bar Date. (Bar Date Order 2, 3. On November 7, 2012, the Court entered an order extending the General Bar Date to November 16, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. (Prevailing Eastern Time [Docket No. 2093]. The Governmental Bar Date was not extended. 8. On December 11, 2013, the Court entered the Order Confirming Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan Proposed by Residential Capital, LLC et al. and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Confirmation Order approving the terms of the Chapter 11 plan, as amended (the Plan, filed in these Chapter 11 cases [Docket No. 6065]. On December 17, 2013, the Effective Date (as defined in the Plan of the Plan occurred [Docket No. 6137]. 9.

Pursuant to the Confirmation Order and the Plan, the Liquidating Trust was vested with broad authority over the post-confirmation liquidation and distribution of the Debtors assets. See generally, Confirmation Order 26, 30, 48; Plan, Art. VI. The Ohio Claims 10. The Claimant filed priority unsecured proofs of claim numbers 7298, 7299, 7300 and 7301 against ETS, GMACRH, GMAC-RFC HoldCo and RFC Construction, respectively (copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3, each in the amount of $766,812.60 on account of outstanding sums purportedly due and owing for Ohio commercial activity taxes ( CAT due for the period from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. Each claim consists of outstanding taxes of $578,175.00 for the 2006 tax year, plus $188,637.60 of interest. Debtors Business Activities & Contact in Ohio 11. As set forth below, the Debtors books and records do not reflect that any of the four entities against whom claims were filed conducted any commercial activities in Ohio in 2006. 12. RFC Construction (f/k/a RFC Construction Funding Corp. was a single purpose entity that funded construction loans. The corporation was registered to do business in Ohio as of July 14, 2000; however, it did not source any construction loans in Ohio in 2006. See Demro Decl. at 4. 13. GMAC-RFC HoldCo was a non-operating, holding company that was incorporated in Delaware in June 2006. The Trust has no record of this entity ever being registered with the Ohio Secretary of State. See Demro Decl. at 5. 14. GMACRH was a holding company for title, flood, closing, appraisal and tax services that was incorporated in Delaware in March 2000. Like GMAC-RFC HoldCo, this ny-1180957 4

See Demro Decl. at 6. 15. ETS provided non-judicial foreclosure services in many states throughout the country, but not in Ohio. ETS was first incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1994 and then merged into a Delaware limited liability company in 2006; however, the Trust has no record of this entity ever being registered with the Ohio Secretary of State. See Demro Decl. at 7. Debtors Prior Corporate Affiliation With General Motors in 2006 16. By way of background, in 2006, Residential Capital and its affiliates were whollyowned subsidiaries of Ally Financial Inc. (f/k/a General Motors Acceptance Corporation, which itself was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the General Motors Corporation. See Demro Decl. at 8. 17. On or about April 2, 2006, General Motors Corporation ( GM, General Motors Acceptance Corporation ( GM Acceptance, GM Finance Co. Holdings Inc. ( HoldCo and FIM Holdings LLC ( Investor entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement wherein Investor purchased 51% of the common limited liability company interests of GMAC from GM Acceptance. As a result, as of the close of the transaction (which occurred on or about November 30, 2006, Residential Capital and its affiliates were no longer wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of GM. See Demro Decl. at 9. RELIEF REQUESTED 18. The Liquidating Trust files this Objection pursuant to section 502(b of the Bankruptcy Code to expunge and disallow each of the Ohio Claims in their entirety. OBJECTION 19.

See 4 COLLIER ON BANKRUPTCY 502.02[2] (16th ed. rev. 2012. A. The Claimant Fails To Provide Sufficient Documentation To Substantiate The Ohio Claims 20. Although Bankruptcy Rule 3001(f establishes the initial evidentiary effect of a filed claim, the burden of proof [r]ests on different parties at different times. In re Smith, No. 12-10142, 2013 WL 665991, at *6 (Bankr. D. Vt. Feb. 22, 2013 (citation omitted.

If the objecting party produces evidence equal in force to the prima facie case, then the objector can negate a claim s presumptive legal validity and shift the evidentiary burden back to the claimant.

If the objecting party satisfies its initial burden and the presumption of prima facie validity is overcome e.g., the objecting party establishes that the proof of claim lacks a sound legal basis the burden shifts to the claimant to support its proof of claim unless the claimant would not bear that burden outside of bankruptcy.

Section 502(b(1 of the Bankruptcy Code provides, in relevant part, that a claim may not be allowed to the extent that such claim is unenforceable against the debtor and property of the debtor, under any agreement or applicable law. 11 U.S.C. 502(b(1. Whether a claim is allowable is generally is determined by applicable nonbankruptcy law. In re W.R. Grace & Co., 346 B.R. 672, 674 (Bankr. D. Del. 2006. What claims of creditors are valid and subsisting obligations against the bankrupt at the time a petition is filed, is a question which, in the absence of overruling federal law, is to be determined by reference to state law. In re Hess, 404 B.R. 747, 749 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2009 (quoting Vanston Bondholders Protective Comm. v. Green, 329 U.S. 156, 161 (1946. 22. Bankruptcy Rule 3001(c(1 instructs that: [W]hen a claim, or an interest in property of the debtor securing the claim, is based on a writing, a copy of the writing shall be filed with the proof of claim.

Additionally, several courts, including those in this District, have applied the federal pleading standards when assessing the validity of a proof of claim.

S.D.N.Y. 2009 ( In determining whether a party has met their burden in connection with a proof of claim, bankruptcy courts have looked to the pleading requirements set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The Ohio Claims do not substantiate why any of the identified Debtor entities have any tax liability for the CAT calendar year 2006 to the Ohio Department of Taxation. It is the Trust s understanding that Ohio imposes the CAT on, [E]ach person with taxable gross receipts for the privilege of doing business in this state. For the purposes of this chapter, "doing business" means engaging in any activity, whether legal or illegal, that is conducted for, or results in, gain, profit, or income, at any time during a calendar ny-1180957 8
12-12020-mg Doc 8799 Filed 06/24/15 Entered 06/24/15 16:29:52 Main Document Pg 13 of 16 year. Persons on which the commercial activity tax is levied include, but are not limited to, persons with substantial nexus with this state. See Ohio Rev. Code Ann. 5751.02(A (2015. Although the CAT resembles a sales tax, the Supreme Court of Ohio has explicitly held that the CAT is a gross receipts tax, not a sales tax. See Ohio Grocers Ass n v. Levin, 916 N.E.2d 446 (Ohio 2009. The person: 27. [S]ubstantial nexus is defined as: A person has substantial nexus with this state if any of the following applies. (1 Owns or uses a part or all of its capital in this state; (2 Holds a certificate of compliance with the laws of this state authorizing the person to do business in this state; (3 Has bright-line presence in this state; or (4 Otherwise has nexus with this state to an extent that the person can be required to remit the tax imposed under this chapter under the Constitution of the United States. Ohio Rev. Code Ann. 5751.01 (H (2015. 28. As described above, the only one of the four Debtor entities that was authorized to do business in Ohio in 2006 was RFC Construction; however, the authorization was effective as of December 12, 2006. Moreover, according to the Debtors books and records, none of the four Debtor entities owned or used a part of all of its capital in Ohio in 2006. See Demro Decl. at 10. 29. A person has bright-line presence in this state for a reporting period and for the remaining portion of the calendar year if any of the following applies. The person: (1 Has at any time during the calendar year property in this state with an aggregate value of at least fifty thousand dollars... (2 Has during the calendar year payroll in this state of at least fifty thousand dollars... ny-1180957 9

(4 Has at any time during the calendar year within this state at least twenty-five per cent of the person's total property, total payroll, or total gross receipts. (5 Is domiciled in this state as an individual or for corporate, commercial, or other business purposes. Ohio Rev. Code Ann. 5751.01 (I (2015 (portions omitted. 30. The Liquidating Trust reviewed the Debtors books and records and confirmed that in 2006 neither ETS, GMACRH nor GMAC-RFC HoldCo (i had at any time during the calendar year property in Ohio with an aggregate value of at least fifty thousand dollars, (ii had during the calendar year payroll in Ohio of at least fifty thousand dollars, (iii had during the calendar year taxable gross receipts of at least five hundred thousand dollars from business within Ohio, nor (iv had at any time during the calendar year within Ohio at least twenty-five percent of its total property, total payroll, or total gross receipts. See Demro Decl. at 11. 31. The Ohio Claims do not identify the taxable gross receipts of any of the Debtor entities for tax year 2006. Rather, the Ohio Claims contain only a single line item tax due for 1/1/2006 through 12/31/2006 in the aggregate amount of $578,175. By itself, a single line item does not provide an adequate explanation to support the validity of the claims consistent with Bankruptcy Rule 3001(c. Accordingly, the absence of critical information to substantiate the asserted liability against the identified debtors does not warrant the allowance of the Ohio Claims. B. The Ohio Claims Are Not Entitled To Be Treated As Priority Unsecured Claims 32. Paragraph 7 of the Ohio Claims states that the tax and interest claims listed above are entitled to priority in accordance with 11 U.S.C. Section 507(a(8 except as specifically set forth as a Non-Priority general unsecured claim. ny-1180957 10
12-12020-mg Doc 8799 Filed 06/24/15 Entered 06/24/15 16:29:52 Main Document Pg 15 of 16 33. As the CAT is a tax measured by income or gross receipts, to the extent the Ohio Claims are entitled to treatment as a priority, general unsecured claim, it would only be pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 507(a(8(A. Section 507(a(8(A provides for priority treatment only to the extent that, such claims are for (A a tax on or measured by income or gross receipts for a taxable year ending on or before the date of the filing of the petition (i for which a return, if required, is last due, including extensions, after three years before the date of the filing of the petition. 11 U.S.C. 507(a(8(A. 34. However, the Ohio Claims assert a liability dating back to 2006. The Debtors books and records do not reflect any pre-existing liability to the Claimant. See Demro Decl. at 12. In addition, the Debtors books and records do not reflect that any of the debtor entities against which the Ohio Claims were filed ever submitted, or were required to submit, a return in Ohio on account of the CAT. As noted above, the Debtors have no record of any of these entities ever conducting commercial activity in Ohio during the 2006 tax year. Moreover, the Debtors books and records do not reflect that any of the entities against whom the Ohio Claims were filed ever requested or submitted an extension from the Claimant to file a return on account of the alleged CAT. See id. at 13. Furthermore, the Ohio Claims do not provide any evidence to the contrary. Therefore, the Ohio Claims, to the extent the Claimant can demonstrate a valid basis for liability against any of the Debtors, are not entitled to priority treatment for a liability dating back to 2006.
