In support of this Motion, the Debtors respectfully represent as follows: JURISDICTION 1. The Coutt has jurisdiction over this Motion under 28 U.S.C. 157 and 1334. This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2). Venue of this proceeding and this Motion is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409. 2. The statutory predicate for the relief requested herein is section 50 I of the Banktuptcy Code. BACKGROUND 3. On March 17, 2010 (the "Petition Date"), the Debtors commenced their banktuptcy cases by filing voluntaty petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. No tmstee, examiner or creditors' committee has been appointed in these cases. The Debtors are operating their respective businesses as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107 and 1108 of the Banktuptcy Code. 4. The events leading up to the Petition Date and the facts and circumstances suppotiing the relief requested herein are set forth in the Declaration of Rebecca Irish in Support of the Debtors' Chapter II Petitions and First Day Pleadings filed contemporaneously herewith and incorporated herein by reference. 5. On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed, inter alia, the Debtors' Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"), and a related disclosure statement. 2 6. The Debtors anticipate filing their respective Schedules of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Financial Affairs within the initial thi:tiy (30) days of these chapter 11 cases in accordance with Local Bankruptcy Rule 1007-1(b). RELIEF REQUESTED 7. By this Motion, the Debtors seek entry of an order (the "Bar Date Order") (a) fixing 4:00 p.m. (ET) on April 23, 2010, as the General Bar Date by which proofs of claim against the Debtors must be filed, 3 (b) fixing the Amended Schedule Bar Date as the later of the General Bar and twenty (20) days after the date that notice of the amendment is served on the affected claimant, (c) approving a tailored proof of claim form to be dishibuted to creditors, (d) approving the Debtors' proposed notice of the Bar Dates (the "Bar Date Notice"), (e) approving mailing and publication procedures with respect to the Bar Date Notice Package (as defined below), and (f) providing ce1iain supplemental relief BASIS FOR RELIEF A. Establishment of Bar Dates 8. Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(3) provides that "[t]he court shall fix ... the time within which proofs of claim or interest may be filed." The Debtors now seek to establish certain Bar Dates to determine what claims are asseJied against the Debtors. Fixing these Bar Dates will provide certainty to all prniies in interest and will enable the Debtors to proceed with timely and effective noticing of the Bar Dates. Pursuant to section 502(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, a claim by a governmental unit (as such tennis defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) maybe timely filed up to ISO days after the Petition Date. Accordingly, the Debtors request that the Court establish September 17, 2010 at 4:00p.m. (ET), as the General Bar Date applicable to all such governmental units. 3 General Bar Date 9. As set forth in the proposed Bar Date Order, submitted herewith and attached hereto as Exhibit D, the Debtors request that any entity ("Entity") 4 that asse1ts a claim against the Debtors that arose prior to the Petition Date (such Claim a "Prepetition Claim") be required to file an original, written proof of such Prepetition Claim and one (I) copy, substantially in the form of the Proof of Claim Fmm (as defined below) or Official Fmm No. 10, so as to be received on or before the General Bar Date by either mail or delivery by hand, courier, or overnight service to (i) if via mail, Crdentia Corp., c/o Omni Management Group, LLC 16161 Ventura Blvd., Suite C, PMB 426, Encino, CA 91436, or (ii) if via delivery by hand, courier or overnight service, Crdentia Corp., c/o Omni Management Group, LLC, 1120 Avenue of the Americas, 4 1 h Floor, New York, NY I 0036 (either, the "Claims Processing Center"). I 0. The Bar Date Order provides that the Claims Processing Center will not accept Proof of Claim Fmms sent by facsimile, telecopy, or other electronic means, and the Debtors request that the Court order that all proofs of claim be deemed timely filed only if the original Proof of Claim Form is actually received by the Claims Processing Center on or before the General Bar Date. 11. Except as provided below, the General Bar Date would apply to all Entities holding Prepetition Claims (whether secured, unsecured priority, or unsecured nonpriority), including, but not limited to, the following: 4 a) creditors whose Prepetition Claims arise out of the rejection of executory contracts or unexpired leases by the Debtors prior to the entry of the Bar Date Order; The term "Entity," as used herein, has the meaning ascribed to it in section 101(15) of the Bankruptcy Code. 4 b) governmental units ("Governmental Units"i holding Prepetition Claims for unpaid taxes, whether arising from prepetition tax years or periods or prepetition transactions to which a Debtor was a party; and c) entities whose Prepetition Claims arise out of the obligations of such Entities under a contract for the provision of liability insurance to a Debtor. 12. The General Bar Date would apply to all Prepetition Claims asserted by such Entities, except that the following Entities would not need to file proofs of claim: a) any Entity that has already properly filed with the Claims Processing Center a proof of claim against one or more of the Debtors for which no other or additional amounts or claims are sought; b) any Entity (i) whose Prepetition Claim is not listed as "disputed," "contingent," or ''unliquidated" in the Schedules and (ii) that agrees with the nature, classification, and amount of such Prepetition Claim set forth in the Schedules; and (iii) such entity does not dispute that its Prepetition Claim is an obligation only of the specific Debtor against which the Prepetition Claim is listed in the Schedules; c) any Entity whose Prepetition Claim (including any Prepetition Claim listed in the Debtors' Schedules) previously has been allowed by, or paid pursuant to, an order of this Court, including, without limitation, and subject to entry of an Order of this Court, all general unsecured claims of trade creditors for goods delivered or services perf01med Prepetition; d) any of the Debtors that hold Prepetition Claims against one or more of the other Debtors; and e) any equity security holder 6 that seeks to assert only stock ownership interests. 7 13. Claims in Classes 2 and 4 are deemed Allowed Claims and holders of such claims do not need to file Proofs of Claim. 5 6 7 The term "Governmental U n i ~ " as used herein, has the meaning ascribed to it in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code. The term "equity security holder," as used herein, has the meaning ascribed to it in section 101(17) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any equity security holder claiming damages or assertiug causes of action based upon or arising from stock ownership would be required to file a proof of claim by the General Bar Date. 5 14. The Debtors also propose that, subject to the provisions proposed below, any Entity whose Prepetition Claim is othe1wise not listed in the applicable Debtor's Schedules or is listed as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated and that desires to participate in any of these chapter II cases or share in any distribution in any of these chapter II cases and any Entity that believes its Prepetition Claim is improperly classified in the Schedules or is listed in an inconect amount and that desires to have its Prepetition Claim allowed in a classification or amount other than that set forth in the Schedules, must file a proof of claim on or before the General Bar Date. Amended Schedule Bar Date 15. The Debtors propose further that they shall retain the right to: (a) dispute or asseii offsets or defenses against any filed Prepetition Claim or any Prepetition Claim listed or reflected in the Schedules as to nature, amount, liability, classification, or otherwise; (b) subsequently designate any Prepetition Claim as disputed, contingent or unliquidated and (c) add a claim to the Schedules; provided, however, that if the Debtors amend the Schedules to reduce the undisputed, noncontingent, and liquidated amount, to change the nature or classification of a Prepetition Claim reflected therein and/or add a claim to the Schedules, then the affected claimant shall have until the Amended Schedule Bar Date (i.e., the later of the General Bar Date and twenty (20) days after the date that notice of the amendment is served on the affected claimant) to file a proof of claim or to amend any previously filed proof of claim in respect of such amended scheduled Prepetition Claim or added claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth herein would preclude the Debtors from objecting to any Prepetition Claim, whether scheduled or filed, on any grounds. 6 B. Effect of Failure to File by Applicable Bar Date 16. The Debtors propose that, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(2), any Entity that is required to file a proof of claim in these chapter 11 cases pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or the order approving this Motion and the relief requested herein with respect to a particular claim against a Debtor, but that fails to do so in a timely manner, shall be forever baned, estopped, and enjoined fi'om asserting any Prepetition Claim against any of the Debtors (or filing a proof of claim with respect thereto), and the Debtors and their property shall be forever discharged from any and all indebtedness or liability with respect to such Prepetition Claim. Additionally, any holder of any Prepetition Claim who is required, but fails, to file a proof of such Prepetition Claim in accordance with the Bar Date Order on or before the applicable Bar Date shall not be permitted to vote to accept or reject any plan or plans or patticipate in any distribution in the Debtors' chapter 11 cases on account of such Prepetition Claim or to receive further notices regarding such Prepetition Claim. C. Tailored Proof of Claim Form 17. The Debtors have prepared a proof of claim fmm tailored to these cases (the "Proof of Claim Fonn''), a copy of which is annexed as Exhibit A. The proposed Proof of Claim Fmm is based on Official Fmm No. 10. The substantive modifications to the Official Form proposed by the Debtors include the following: a) personalizing the form to include the name and address of an Entity as shown in the Debtors' records; b) including a space for the Entity to cotTect any inconect information regarding its name and address; and c) providing additional instructions. 7 The Debtors request that the Corut approve the Proof of Claim Form and the substantive modifications to Official Fmm No. 10 in a form substantially conforming to the Proof of Claim Form. 18. In accordance with the Proposed Bar Date Order, the Debtors request that the Corut order that each proof of claim filed must (a) be written in the English language, (b) be denominated in lawful cunency of the United States, (c) confmm substantially with the Proof of Claim Form provided or Official Fmm No. 10, as applicable, and (d) attach copies of any writings upon which the claim is based. D. Actual Notice of Bar Dates Actual Notice of the General Bar Date 19. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002( a)(7), the Debtors propose to provide actual notice of the Bar Dates by mailing (a) the Bar Date Notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B; and (b) the Proof of Claim Fmm (together, the "Bar Date Notice Package") to: a) the U.S. Trustee; b) each member of the Committee and counsel for the Committee, if a committee is appointed in these cases; c) all holders ofPrepetition Claims listed on the Schedules at the addresses stated therein; d) all other patties identified in the Debtors' creditor matrix as filed with the Co rut; e) all counterpmties to executory contracts and unexpired leases; f) all cunent record holders of equity securities of a Debtor; g) all cunent and former employees of the Debtors that left the employ of the Debtors on or after January 1, 2009; 8 h) all taxing authorities for locations in which the Debtors do business; i) the Secmities and Exchange Commission; j) alllienholders; k) all parties to litigation in which the Debtors are involved; I) all providers of utility services to the Debtors; m) all insmance providers; n) all of the Debtors' ordinary comse professionals; o) the Debtors' banks; p) the Debtors' pre- and post-petition secured lenders; g) all Entities requesting notice pmsuant to Banktuptcy Rule 2002 as of the entry of the Bar Date Order; and r) all parties that have filed proofs of claim in these Cases as of the date of entry of the Bar Date Order. (collectively, the "Bar Date Notice Parties"). 20. The Debtors further reserve the right, out of an abundance of caution, to serve the Bar Date Notice to ce1tain Entities not described above with which, prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors had done business or that may have asserted a claim against the Debtors in the recent past. 21. The proposed Bar Date Notice Package includes a proposed Bar Date Notice that notifies the pmties of the Bar Dates and contains information regmding who must file a proof of claim, the procedmes for filing a proof of claim, and the consequences of failure to timely file a proof of claim. 22. The Debtors request that the Court approve the form and use of the Bar Date Notice Package. 9 Actual Notice of Amended Schedule Bar Date. as necessary 23. If and when the Debtors amend their Schedules to reduce the undisputed, noncontingent, and liquidated amount, to change the nature or classification of a Prepetition Claim or to add a claim, the Debtors will provide notice to the affected claimant of any such amended or added claim, which will include information regarding the Amended Schedule Bar Date and how to file a proof of claim or amend an existing proof of claim. 24. The Debtors request that the Comi approve this method of notice of the Amended Schedule Bar Date. E. Timing of Proposed Notice by Mail 25. Based upon the relation of the General Bar Date to the timing of filing the Schedules and Statements, the number of Entities to whom the Debtors propose to provide notice, including all creditors and record equity security holders who are entitled to receive notice, the Debtors, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a)(7) and Local Rule 2002-1(e), intend to mail the Bar Date Notice Package to all known creditors within three (3) business days following entry of the Bar Date Order. If the Bar Date Order is entered following expedited consideration of this Motion on or about March 18, 2010 (as the Debtors are contemporaneously requesting), creditors will be assured thirty-six (36) days notice of the General Bar Date. Such notice period is well in excess of the twenty (20) day notice period required under Bankmptcy Rule 2002(a)(7) and will provide creditors ample time within which to prepare and file proofs of claim, if necessary. Supplemental Mailings 26. However, after the initial mailing occurs as provided for above, the Debtors anticipate that they may be required to make supplemental mailings of the Bar Date Notice 10 Package in a number of situations including in the event that: (a) Bar Date Notice Packages are retmned by the post office with forwarding addresses, necessitating a remailing to the new addresses, (b) certain parties acting on behalf of parties in interest (e.g., banks and brokers with respect to equity security holders) decline to forward Bar Date Notice Packages to such parties and instead retmn their names and addresses to the Debtors for direct mailing, and (c) additional potential claimants become known to the Debtors (collectively, the "Special Bar Date Parties"). Therefore, the Debtors request the right to make supplemental mailings of the Bar Date Notice Package up to twenty (20) days in advance of the applicable Bar Dates, with any such supplemental mailings being deemed timely. 27. While the Debtors anticipate there may be a need to establish one or more later special bar dates and request the right to do so below, the Debtors believe that the proposed supplemental mailing of the Bar Date Notice Package will serve to preserve the integrity of the Bar Dates, will reduce the number of special bar dates that may need to be established, will permit the claims process to be completed expeditiously, and will ease the administrative burden of these cases. Establishment ofSpecial Bar Dates 28. To minimize the time and expense associated with having to seek subsequent orders fiom this Court, the Debtors request that they be permitted to establish special bar dates with respect to the Special Bar Date Patties as to which a mailing or remailing of the Bat Date Notice Package is necessary and cannot be accomplished prior to twenty (20) days in advance of an applicable Bar Date. With respect to the Special Bar Date Parties, the Debtors request the right to establish special bat dates at least twenty (20) days after the date on which the Debtors 11 mail the notice of each such special bar date. Such notice will take substantially the form of the Bar Date Notice (with necessary modifications to reflect the special bar date provisions). 29. The Debtors submit that twenty (20) days' notice of each special bar date is appropriate, rather than the longer period provided in connection with the other Bar Dates, because any such special bar dates will be established later in these cases and must be structured so as not to delay the progress of these cases, and because such special bar dates will be applicable to parties who will be receiving notice directly, presumably within three (3) days of mailing, rather than t1nough intermediate channels that may delay ultimate receipt Moreover, the Debtors anticipate establishing special bar dates on a very limited basis, and only if necessary to ensure adequate bar date noticing and discharge protection, to the extent applicable. The vast majority of patties in interest will be subject to the Bar Dates and will receive as much as thitty- six (36) days' notice. 30. The Debtors propose to advise this Court of the establishment of each special bar date by filing a notice, together with a list that specifically identifies the Special Bar Date Patties that are subject thereto and a copy of the bat date notice applicable to the special bar date. In addition to being filed with this Court, such notice will be served upon the US. Trustee, and counsel for the Committee, if a committee is appointed in these cases. A cettificate of service will be subsequently filed to evidence the mailing of each special bar date notice to the patties subject thereto. 31. Each of the special bar dates will apply only to the Special Bar Date Patties who are specifically identified as being subject thereto in the lists to be filed with the Court. However, as to any of such specifically identified patties who may be found to have received effective notice of the Bar Dates, the Debtors do not waive the right to assert that the Bat Dates, 12 rather than the special bar date, govem. Moreover, the Bar Dates will remain effective, and it is the Debtors' intention that they be fully enforceable both with respect to known parties who have received actual notice thereof pursuant to the Bar Date Notice and with respect to unknown parties who are deemed to have received constructive notice thereof pursuant to the Publication Notice (as defined below). F. Assistance in Noticing 32. To the extent that the Debtors require any assistance with the preparation and mailing of notices pmsuant to the Bar Date Order, including, for example, ensuring proper distribution of the Bar Date Notice Package to equity security holders, the Debtors request that the Debtors be authorized to employ and pay necessary service providers. The Debtors further request that they be authorized to take such other actions as may be necessary to ensure timely preparation and mailing of the Bar Date Notice Package. G. Filing Proofs of Claim against Multiple Debtors 33. The Debtors propose that all Entities assetting claims against more than one Debtor be required to file a separate proof of claim with respect to each such Debtor. If Entities are pemritted to assert claims against more than one Debtor in a single proof of claim, the Claims Processing Center may have difficulty maintaining separate claim registers for each Debtor, and all named Debtors will be required to object to a proof of claim that may be applicable to only one of the named Debtors. Likewise, Entities should be required to identifY on each proof of claim, the particular Debtor against which their claim is asserted. Requiring Entities to identify the Debtor against which a claim is assetted will greatly expedite the Debtors' review of proofs of claim in these cases. This requirement will not be unduly burdensome on claimants since such 13 Entities will know or should know the identity of the Debtor against which they are asserting a claim. H. Publication of Notice 34. The nature of the Debtors' businesses creates the potential for the existence of claims against the Debtors of which the Debtors are unaware. Such unknown potential claims may include, for example, claims of trade vendors who failed to submit an invoice to the Debtors, claims of former employees, and claims that, for various reasons, are not recorded on the Debtors' books and records. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that it is necessary to provide notice of the Bar Dates to Entities whose names and addresses are unknown to the Debtors and, in addition, that it is advisable to provide supplemental notice to known holders of claims. Therefore, pmsuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002(1), the Debtors request authority to publish notice of the Bar Dates substantially in the form annexed as Exhibit C hereto (the "Publication Notice") in the national edition of The Wall Street Journal as soon as practicable following filing of the Debtors' Schedules and Statements and entry of the Bar Date Order, but in any event no later than twenty (20) days prior to the General Bar Date. 35. The Publication Notice will include a telephone number that potential creditors may call ancl instructions concerning how they may obtain copies of the Proof of Claim Form and information conceming the procedmes for filing proofs of claim. 36. The Debtors request that the Court find that the Debtors' proposed procedures regarding the Publication Notice will provide good, adequate, and sufficient publication notice of the Bar Dates. 14 NOTICE OF TIDS MOTION 37. Notice of the Motion has been provided to: (a) the United States Trustee; (b) those parties listed on the consolidated list of creditors holding the twenty (20) largest unsecured claims against the Debtors, as identified in their chapter 11 petitions; (c) counsel for the Debtors' secured lender, Com Vest Capital, LLC; and (d) all other persons or entities that have requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002( i). In light of the nature of the relief requested herein, the Debtors submit that no other or futiher notice is required. NO PRIOR REQUEST 38. No previous request for the relief sought in this Motion has been made to this Court or any other couti. WHEREFORE, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court enter an order, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D: (i) approving (a) the Bar Dates; (b) the Proof of Claim Form; (c) the form and manner of provision of the Bar Date Notice Package and the Publication Notice and (ii) granting such other and futiher relief as the Court may deem proper.
