(Jointly Administered)
Objections Due: December 16, 2008, at 4:00 p.m., EST
Hearing Date: December 23, 2008, at 10:00 a.m., EST
MOTION FOR ALLOWANCE AND IMMEDIATE PAYMENT OF KEDS CORPORATIONS ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CLAIM PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. 503(b)(1)
Keds Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (Keds), by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby moves (the Motion) the Court for entry of an Order, pursuant to 11 U.S. C. 503(b)(1) and 507(a)(2), allowing an administrative expense claim and in support thereof, respectfully states as follows: STATEMENT OF FACTS 1. Keds is a wholesaler of various types of footwear. 2. The Debtors in Possession are the owners and operators of retail stores throughout the western and southwestern part of the United States. Among the products sold by the Debtors in Possession are national brands, private label apparel, and home furnishing. 3. On July 29, 2008 (the Petition Date), the Debtors filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in this Court. 4. The Debtors continued to operate their business and manage their affairs as debtors-in-possession (Debtors in Possession) pursuant to Section 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. 0q/v(+:%+ 0811586081126000000000005 {D0141131.1 } 5. In order for the Debtors in Possession to preserve the value of the estate and operate their business in the hopes of confirming a plan of reorganization, they needed to purchase goods for resale in its retail stores. 6. Keds had a business relationship with the Debtors in Possession which resulted in the delivery of he following amounts of shoe merchandise (the Goods) to the Debtors in Possession: Invoice # Order Date Invoice Date PO Number Amount Balance 10008798 8/22/2008 9/24/2008 0000530996 $2,880.00 $2,880.00 10008800 8/22/2008 9/24/2008 0000530999 $2,712.00 $5,592.00 10058516 10/01/2008 10/09/2008 0000548250 $15,893.28 $21,485.28 10058518 10/01/2008 10/09/2008 0000548258 $3,260.16 $24,745.44 10063559 10/01/2008 10/10/2008 0000584249 $30,767.76 $55,513.20 10063560 10/01/2008 10/10/2008 0000548257 $5,909.04 $61,422.24
7. Copies of the invoices and bills of lading for the above deliveries of goods are collectively annexed hereto as Exhibit A. 8. All of the Goods were ordered by the Debtors in Possession following the Petition Date. 9. Keds has not been paid for any of the aforementioned deliveries, nor have any of the Goods been returned back to Keds by the Debtors in Possession. 10. The items set forth in paragraph 6 above were sold and delivered by Keds in the ordinary course of both Keds and the Debtors in Possessions business as post-petition sales of {D0141131.1 } goods designed to preserve the value of the estate and develop a plan of reorganization for the Debtors in Possession. The Goods have a total value of $61,422.24. RELIEF REQUESTED 11. The amount currently due and owing to Keds for the Goods received by the Debtors in Possession in the amount of $61,422.24 is compensable as an administrative claim under Section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and is entitled to an administrative expense priority under Section 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. 12. Bankruptcy Code Section 503(b)(1)(a) provides as follows: After notice and a hearing, there shall be allowed administrative expenses, other than claims allowed under section 502(f) of this title, including . . . the actual, necessary costs and expenses of preserving the estate . . . 13. Here, there is no dispute that Keds sold the Goods to the Debtors in Possession in the ordinary course of the Debtors in Possessions business. Furthermore, the Goods were received by the Debtors in Possession as part of their attempt to develop and implement a plan of reorganization. Finally, the value of the Goods in the amount of $61,422.24 is indicated by the agreed purchase prices set forth in the invoices for the Goods. 14. The Court should require that the Debtors in Possession immediately pay Keds administrative expense claim. Section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code does not expressly include a due date for the payment of an administrative claim. However, courts in this District have discretion to require the immediate payment of such administrative claims. See, e.g., In re Global Home Prods., LLC, Case No. 06-10340 (KG), 2006 WL 3791955, at *3 (Bankr. D. Del. Dec. 21, 2006). In exercising this discretion, courts have weighed the prejudice to the debtor, the hardship to the claimant and the potential detriment to other creditors. Id. at *12.
{D0141131.1 } WHEREFORE, Keds respectfully requests the Court enter an Order that (i) allows an administrative claim under Bankruptcy Code Section 503(b)(1) in the amount of $114,781.47; and (ii) grants Keds such further and additional relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
