Background 2. On March 9, 2009 (the "Petition Date"), the Liquidating Debtors and

various affiliated companies (together with the Liquidating Debtors, the "Debtors") commenced their cases by filing voluntary petitions for relief under chapter lithe Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). No trustee or examiner was appointed in any of the Chapter 11 Cases and the Debtors operated their businesses as debtors in possession during their Chapter ii Cases. The Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered for procedural purposes only. 3. The Debtors Plan of Liquidation was confirmed by order of this Court

entered on December 15, 2010 and the Plan of Liquidation became effective on December 23, ,I1EI 4. On May 5, 2009, the Court entered the Order (a) Fixing the Procedures

and Deadlines to File Proofs of Claim, (b) Approving the Form and Manner of Notice of Bar Dates, and (c) Granting Related Relief (Docket No. 277) ("Bar Date Order"). The Bar Date Order established the bar dates of (i) June 23, 2009 for claims arising prior to the Petition Date, which includesadministrative expenses against the Debtors estates arising under Bankruptcy Code 503(b)(9), and (ii) September 8, 2009 for claims of any Governmental Unit arising before the Petition Date. 5. On May 9, 2009, the Debtors claims and noticing agent served (i) a

"Notice of Bar Date for Filing Proofs of Claim" that was approved by the Court in the Bar Date Order, and (ii) a proof of claim form on all parties listed on the Debtors creditor matrix. (Affidavit of Service, filed May 14, 2009 at Docket No. 308.)

DOCS_LA:244261.3 68773-003

Relief Requested and Basis for Such Relief 6. Each of the claims listed on Exhibits A and B attached hereto (the "Fully

Satisfied Claims") have previously been satisfied by payments made by the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors, as the case may be, in the full amount of what was actually owed on the Fully Satisfied Claims. Further each of the claims listed on Exhibit C attached hereto (the "Partially Satisfied Claims") have previously been satisfied in part by the payments made by the Debtors or the Liquidating Debtors, as the case may be, in the amount set forth on Exhibit C. 7. Because the Fully Satisfied Claims have been satisfied, they are no longer

obligations of the Liquidating Debtors. Further, because the Partially Satisfied Claims have been paid in part, they are only obligations of the Liquidating Debtors to the extent they remain unpaid. In order to prevent any possibility of double payment, the Liquidating Debtors request that the Court enter an order holding that all of the Fully Satisfied Claims (see Exhibits A and B attached hereto) have been satisfied in full and that the Partially Satisfied Claims (see Exhibit C attached hereto) have been satisfied in part and are reduced to the amount remaining due as set forth on Exhibit C. Reservation of Rights 8. To the extent the relief requested herein is not granted as to any Fully

Satisfied Claim or Partially Satisfied Claim, the Liquidating Debtors expressly reserve the right to objection to such claims on any grounds that the Liquidating Debtors deem appropriate. No Previous Request 9. this or any other Court. No previous request for the relief set forth herein has been made to

DOCSLA:244261.3 68773-003

WHEREFORE, the Liquidating Debtors respectfully request that the Court enter its order deeming each of the claims listed on Exhibits A and B hereto to be satisfied and no longer an obligation of the Liquidating Debtors and each of the claims listed on Exhibit C hereto to be partially satisfied and only an obligation of the Liquidating Debtors in the remaining amounts due as set forth on Exhibit C hereto and granting such additional relief as is just..
