The First Day Declaration, Phoenix Rit Declaration, and the Canada Laundry Declaration are fully incorporated herein by reference. The Actions 13. The Debtors are not currently aware of any pending Actions. However, out of an abundance of caution, the Debtors are seeking to extend the removal period. The Debtors may discover additional actions as they move through the post-confirmation claims reconciliation process. The Debtors also may become aware of Actions in connection with proofs of claim that have been filed in these chapter 11 cases. The Debtors will continue to analyze any potential Actions, as well as any filed proofs of claim, to determine whether the Debtors will seek to remove any Actions. Consequently, the Debtors are not yet prepared to determine if they will need to remove any Actions. Basis for Relief 14. Section 1452 of title 28 of the United States Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9027 govern the removal of pending civil actions related to chapter 11 cases. Specifically, section 1452(a provides: A party may remove any claim or cause of action in a civil action other than a proceeding before the United States Tax Court or a civil action by a governmental unit to enforce such governmental unit s police or regulatory power, to the district court for the district where such civil action is pending, if such district court has jurisdiction of such claim or cause of action under section 1334 of this title. 28 U.S.C. 1452(a. 15. Bankruptcy Rule 9027 sets forth the time periods for filing notices to remove claims or causes of action. Specifically, Bankruptcy Rule 9027(a(2 provides, in pertinent part: If the claim or cause of action in a civil action is pending when a case under the [Bankruptcy] Code is commenced, a notice of removal may be filed only within the longest of (A 90 days after the order for relief in the case under the 5

Case 16-11242-BLS Doc 675 Filed 12/30/16 Page 6 of 10 [Bankruptcy] Code, (B 30 days after entry of an order terminating a stay, if the claim or cause of action in a civil action has been stayed under 362 of the [Bankruptcy] Code, or (C 30 days after a trustee qualifies in a chapter 11 reorganization case but not later than 180 days after the order for relief. Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9027(a(2. 16. Bankruptcy Rule 9006 permits the Court to extend the period to remove actions provided by Bankruptcy Rule 9027. Specifically, Bankruptcy Rule 9006(b(1 provides, in pertinent part: [W]hen an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified period by these rules or by a notice given thereunder or by order of court, the court for cause shown may at any time in its discretion... with or without motion or notice order the period enlarged if the request therefor is made before the expiration of the period originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order.... Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9006(b(1. 17. It is well-settled that the Court is authorized to enlarge the Removal Period. See Pacor, Inc. v. Higgins, 743 F.2d 984, 996 n.17 (3d Cir. 1984, overruled on other grounds by Things Remembered, Inc. v. Petrarca, 516 U.S. 124, 134 35(1995 (holding the bankruptcy court s power to grant an extension of the removal period pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006(b is clear ; Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co., 251 B.R. 322, 325 (S.D.W. Va. 2000; (Bankruptcy Rule 9006 provides authority to enlarge time periods for removing actions under Bankruptcy Rule 9027; In re Jandous Elec. Constr. Corp., 106 B.R. 48, 50 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1989 (period in which to file motion to remove may be expanded pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006; In re World Fin. Servs. Ctr., Inc., 81 B.R. 33, 39 (Bankr. S.D. Cal. 1987 (United States Supreme Court intended to give bankruptcy judges the power to enlarge the filing periods under Bankruptcy Rule 9027(a pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006(b; Raff v. Gordon, 58 B.R. 988, 990 (E.D. Pa. 1986 (an expansion of time to file notices of removal is authorized under the Bankruptcy Rules. 6

Case 16-11242-BLS Doc 675 Filed 12/30/16 Page 7 of 10 18. Absent the relief requested herein, the Removal Period will otherwise expire after December 31, 2016. 2 The Liquidating Trust (as defined in the Plan of Liquidation was established on December 27, 2016 and consists of all assets of the Debtors bankruptcy estates as of the Effective Date. Effective Date Notice; Plan of Liquidation at Section VIII. Joseph T. Moldovan, Esq., was appointed as the Liquidating Trustee by Fifth Street in consultation with the Debtors and the Committee. Confirmation Order at 24. The Liquidating Trustee (as defined in the Plan of Liquidation is responsible for, among other things: (i settling, resolving, and objecting to claims, including potential Actions; (ii making distributions under the Plan of Liquidation; and (iii winding up the affairs of the Debtors and their estates. Plan of Liquidation at Section VIII. The Liquidating Trustee should have the option of removal reserved so that he may appropriately manage any potential Actions. The Debtors and Liquidating Trustee will need additional time to analyze any potential Actions because the Liquidating Trustee was appointed and the Liquidating Trust was established on December 27, 2016. 19. The Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee s decision regarding whether to seek removal of any potential Action depends on a number of factors, including: (a the importance of the Action to the expeditious resolution of these chapter 11 cases; (b the time required to complete the Action in its current venue; (c the presence of federal subject matter jurisdiction in the proceeding that may allow for one or more aspects thereof to be heard by a federal court; (d the relationship between the Action and matters to be considered in connection with the Debtors chapter 11 cases, the claims allowance process, and the assumption or rejection 2 The Debtors note that they have filed this Motion prior to the expiration of the current deadline for the Removal Period. Pursuant to Local Rule 9006-2, if a motion to extend the time to take any action is filed before the expiration of the period prescribed by the [Bankruptcy] Code, the [Bankruptcy Rules], these Local Rules or Court order, the time shall automatically be extended until the Court acts on the motion, without the necessity for the entry of a bridge order. Accordingly, Local Rule 9006-2 automatically extends the Removal Period pending the Court s hearing to consider the relief requested by this Motion. 7

Case 16-11242-BLS Doc 675 Filed 12/30/16 Page 8 of 10 of executory contracts and unexpired leases; and (e the progress made to date in the Action. To make the appropriate determination, the Debtors must analyze any potential Action in light of such factors. 20. To date, the Debtors are not aware of any pending Actions; however, out of an abundance of caution, and in the event that an Action is uncovered, the Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee need additional time to conclusively determine whether such Actions will be removed. Debtors may become aware of Actions in connection with proofs of claim that were filed in these chapter 11 cases, as the Debtors have not yet had a chance to fully review all filed proofs of claims. As such, given the tenor of these cases, the Debtors have not had either the time or the opportunity to make the appropriate determinations concerning the removal of any discovered Action. 21. The Debtors and the Liquidating Trustee believe that it is prudent to seek an additional extension of the time period to file notices of removal in order to protect the Liquidating Trustee s right to remove the Actions. Debtors hereby request that the Court extend the Removal Period through June 30, 2017, to preserve any rights in the event that the Debtors are required to remove any Actions that may be filed or discovered before the completion of the distribution process in this chapter 11 case. 22. Alternately, if such an extension is not granted, Debtors believe they will not have sufficient time to uncover and properly evaluate removal of any potential Action. Moreover, the rights of parties to the potential Actions will not be unduly prejudiced by the Debtors requested extension of the Removal Period. If the Debtors ultimately seek to remove Actions pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9027, parties will retain their rights to have such Actions 8
