RLF1 6213900v. 2

2002, 4001 and 9014 (I) Authorizing the Debtor to Obtain Post-petition Secured Financing, (II) Granting Security Interests and Superpriority Administrative Expense Claims, (III) Granting Adequate Protection to Pre-Petition Secured Parties, (IV) Authorizing the Use of Cash Collateral as Provided Herein and (V) Scheduling a Final Hearing [Docket No. 59] (the DIP Financing Motion), which is scheduled for July 19, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. (EDT) (the July 19 Hearing) and (ii) permitting parties to file objections to the Venue Transfer Motion by no later than four (4) business days prior to the date of the hearing on the Venue Transfer Motion. In support of the Motion to Shorten, the Member Representatives respectfully state as follows: Background 1. To date, the United States Bankruptcy Court for District of Delaware (the

Delaware Bankruptcy Court) has only hand two hearings in the Chapter 11 Case. The first hearing was a short and relatively routine hearing on the first day relief sought at the first day hearing. The second hearing was a hearing on the Debtors Emergency Motion: (1) to Enforce and Extend the Automatic Stay Pursuant to Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (2) for Injunctive Relief Pursuant to Sections 105(a) and 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or, Alternatively, a Preliminary Injunction Under Rule 7065 of the Bankruptcy Rules on an Interim Basis Through and Including July 27, 2012, Subject to Further Extension [Adv. Pro. No. 1250783; Docket No. 3], where the Delaware Bankruptcy Court denied such motion. 2. The DIP Financing Motion is scheduled to be heard by the Delaware

Bankruptcy Court at the July 19 Hearing. The DIP Financing Motion seeks to, among other things, authorize the Debtor to incur post-petition secured financing and, in connection therewith, prime the Debtors pre-petition secured lenders.

3.

A hearing on certain relatively routine second day motions and

applications is scheduled to be heard by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court on July 27, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. (EDT). 4. Contemporaneously herewith, the Member Representatives filed the

Venue Transfer Motion seeking to transfer the Chapter 11 Case from the Delaware Bankruptcy Court to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado (the Colorado Bankruptcy Court). As is set forth more fully in the Venue Transfer Motion, the Colorado Bankruptcy Court is the proper Court for the Chapter 11 Case. Basis for Relief Requested 5. Local Rule 9006-1 governs the time for service and filing of motions to be

heard by this Court. Specifically, Local Rule 9006-1(c) requires that motions be filed and served at least 14 days prior to the hearing date scheduled for such motion (or 17 days if notice is given by regular mail) unless the Bankruptcy Rules or Local Rules state otherwise. Local Rule 90061(e) provides that such notice period can be shortened by order of this Court upon written motion specifying the exigencies justifying shortened notice. See Del. Bankr. L.R. 9006-1(e); see also Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9006(c) (providing that when an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a specified time by these rules or by a notice given thereunder or by order of court, the court for cause shown may in its discretion with or without notice order the period reduced). For the reasons set forth herein, the Member Representatives respectfully submit that the exigencies of this matter justify expedited consideration of the Venue Transfer Motion. 6. The Member Representatives submit that the Venue Transfer Motion

should be heard as expeditiously as possible and, in all events, prior to the July 19 Hearing, for three primary reasons. First, the Chapter 11 Case is still in its early stages. As such, the Venue

3
RLF1 6213900v. 2

Transfer Motion should be heard as soon as possible to maximize the amount of time that the Chapter 11 Case is before the proper court. Second, the DIP Financing Motion, which is scheduled to be heard at the July 19 Hearing, seeks to, among other things, prime the Debtors prepetition secured lenders. It is uncontroverted that [g]ranting post-petition financing on a priming basis is extraordinary and is allowed only as a last resort. In re YL West 87th Street Holdings I LLC, 423 B.R. 421, 441 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2010). Further, upon information and belief, Alpine Bank Vail, one of the secured creditors that the Debtor is seeking to prime, intends to object to such priming. As a result, the July 19 Hearing will likely be a contested and complex evidentiary hearing that will require a significant amount of this Courts, the Debtors and other parties time and resources. If, as the Venue Transfer Motion states, the Chapter 11 Case should be before the Colorado Bankruptcy Court, then the Venue Transfer Motion should be heard well in advance of the July 19 Hearing to ensure that the parties and the Delaware Bankruptcy Court do not needlessly prepare and otherwise devote any resources in connection with a contested priming fight. Finally, for the reasons set forth in the Venue Transfer Motion, the Chapter 11 Case should be before the Colorado Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the Member Representatives submit that it is in the best interest of the Debtor and all parties in interest that the Venue Transfer Motion be heard as soon as possible. 7. Based on the foregoing, the Member Representatives believe that cause

exists for the Venue Transfer Motion to be heard on an expedited basis. 8. In addition, Local Rule 9006-1(c) requires that the objection deadline with

respect to motions be scheduled to permit all objections to be filed and served at least seven (7) days before the hearing date. The Member Representatives hereby request that the Court permit

parties to file and serve objections to the Venue Transfer Motion, if any, by no later than four (4) business days prior to the date of the hearing set for the Venue Transfer Motion. No Previous Request 9. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made by the

Member Representatives to this or any other court. WHEREFORE, the Member Representatives respectfully request that this Court grant the relief requested herein and such other and further relief as this Court may deem just and proper.
