Introduction 1. Fabric attempts to disguise prepetition taxes paid in arrears as akin to postpetition
rent that is paid in advance to unfairly receive better treatment than all other unsecured, prepetition creditors. In its attempt, Fabric latches on to cases that are inapposite. In fact, the weight of authority in this jurisdiction and elsewhere and the underlying premise of equality amongst similarly situated creditors embodied in the Bankruptcy Code supports denial of the Motion. Any other result would unfairly provide Fabric with an advantage not given to all of the Debtors other unsecured, prepetition creditors. Background 2. On June 27, 2002, the Debtors entered into a lease with Fabric for certain non-
residential real property (the Lease), under which the Debtors are obligated to pay certain impositions. 3. On or about February 9, 2006, Fabric filed the Motion seeking the allowance and
payment of an administrative expense in the amount of $230,744.03 on account of the Debtors alleged failure to pay certain taxes (collectively, the Taxes), associated penalties and interest pursuant to obligations under the Lease. Of course, the Debtors are willing to pay the portion of the Taxes that accrued postpetition and are currently investigating what amounts, if any, remain unpaid with respect to such postpetition portion of the Taxes. 4. Fabric is not, however, entitled to administrative priority for any amount of the
Taxes that accrued prepetition. A majority of courts in this circuit and other circuits have determined that a lessor is not entitled to administrative priority for the portion of any tax that covers the prepetition period. Moreover, should Fabrics request for administrative priority for the prepetition Taxes be granted, Fabric would unfairly receive payment of a prepetition claim to the detriment of the Debtors other unsecured prepetition creditors in direct violation of the 2
K&E 10990673.4
overarching policy of the Bankruptcy Code establishing equality of distribution among similarly situated creditors. 5. Accordingly, as more fully described below, Fabric is not entitled to
administrative priority for the Taxes that accrued prior to the Petition Date. Therefore, the Motion should be denied. Argument I. Fabric is Not Entitled to Administrative Priority for Taxes Which Accrued Prepetition 6. Under section 365(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors must timely
perform all of the[ir] obligations arising from and after the order of relief under any unexpired lease of non-residential property, until such lease is assumed or rejected. 11 U.S.C. 365(d)(3). With respect to property taxes, a majority of courts have held that, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtors obligation to pay taxes arises as such taxes accrue. See, e.g., In re Handy Andy Home Improvement Centers, Inc., 144 F.3d 1125, 1127 (7th Cir. 1998) (holding that debtor-tenants obligation to pay taxes arose piecemeal every day over the course of the entire tax year); In re Furr Supermarkets, Inc., 283 B.R. 60, 70 (10th Cir. B.A.P. 2002) (holding that lease obligations, including taxes, arise under section 365 as they accrue); In re Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., 333 B.R. 870, 873 (Bankr. M.D. Fla. 2005) (holding that tax obligations arise as they accrue); In re Dunn Indus., LLC, 320 B.R. 86, 93 (Bankr. D. Md. 2005) (same); In re PharMor, Inc., 290 B.R. 319, 328 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio 2003); In re E-Z Serve Convenience Stores, Inc., 2003 WL 21145800 at *3 (Bankr. M.D.N.C. May 13, 2003); In re Oscar Hornsby, Inc. 2001 WL 34083517 at *2 (Bankr. E.D. Ky. Jan. 26, 2001). 7. Furthermore, these same courts have held that a lessor is not entitled to an
administrative claim for taxes that accrued prepetition. See, e.g., Handy Andy, 144 F.3d at 1125 3
K&E 10990673.4
(holding that portion of property taxes that accrued over the prepetition period were not entitled to be paid as an administrative expense); Winn-Dixie Stores, 333 B.R. at 874 (holding that taxes which accrued prepetition were not within the purview of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code); Dunn Indus., 320 B.R. at 93 (finding that commercial lessor is not entitled to a priority claim for entire years property taxes simply because lessor submitted bill for such taxes in the postpetition, prerejection period); Phar-Mor, 290 B.R. at 328 (same); Oscar Hornsby, 2001 WL 34083517, at *3 (holding that a debtor is obligated to pay only that portion of taxes that accrued in the postpetition, prerejection period). 8. Fabric, in relying on the decision in In re Koenig Sporting Goods, 203 F.3d 986
(6th Cir. 2000), attempts to lull this Court into mistakenly finding that taxes are the same as rent. See Motion 10-11. Contrary to Fabrics assertion, however, the courts decision in Koenig does not compel this Court to find that taxes should be treated the same as rent. The court in Koenig held that a lessor under a month-to-month, payment-in-advance lease was entitled to full payment of a months rent that came due postpetition, prerejection under the lease even though the debtor rejected the lease and vacated the premises on the second day of the month. See Koenig, 203 F.3d at 989. The rationale underlying the Koenig opinion, which does not apply to prepetition, past taxes, is that rent paid in advance is allocable to future services that will benefit the debtors estates and is thus properly considered an administrative expense. 9. In fact, in the opinions rendered in the Sixth Circuit since Koenig, courts in this
circuit analyzing prepetition taxes billed postpetition have followed the holdings of the majority of cases and determined that the decision in Koenig on rent paid in advance is not controlling with respect to prepetition taxes billed in arrears. See, e.g., In re Phar-Mor, Inc., 290 B.R. 319, 327 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio 2003) (distinguishing Koenig as involving rent due in advance
4
K&E 10990673.4
and not taxes payable in arrears); In re Oscar Hornsby, Inc., 2001 WL 34083517, at *2 (holding that Koenig is not controlling as to taxes). In particular, the court in Phar-Mor reasoned that taxes, unlike rent, are costs incurred in the past which, unlike rent to be paid in advance, have no present relevance to, or benefit for, a debtors operations. Phar-Mor, 290 B.R. at 328. The court in Phar-Mor went on to note that burdening the estate with payment of past costs, which provide no present or future benefit to the estate, would significantly interfere with a debtors ability to reorganize. See id. 10. Any attempt to disguise prepetition taxes as the equivalent of monthly rent paid in
advance to find that prepetition taxes provide the same postpetition benefit is unconvincing. Courts have consistently held that taxes that accrue over the course of the year represent payment for past, not present or future, services provided to a lessee. See Phar-Mor, 290 B.R. at 328 (finding that taxes are past costs with no present relevance to the operations of a debtor); see also Handy Andy, 144 F.3d at 1128 (classifying past taxes as sunk costs that do not provide current benefit to a debtor or its estate); Winn-Dixie Stores, 333 B.R. at 873; Dunn Indus., 320 B.R. at 90. Furthermore, to grant administrative priority to any amount of the Taxes that accrued prepetition would subvert the purpose of section 365(d)(3), which is to ensure that a landlord receive[s] current payment for current services. Phar-Mor, 290 B.R. at 325; see also In re Child World Serv., Inc., 161 B.R. 571, 575 (S.D.N.Y. 1993). 11. Section 365(d)(3) is not meant to give payment to lessors for prepetition
obligations of a debtor, which is what Fabric seeks. Providing such comfort to Fabric would invite a myriad of other lessors to seek administrative priority for prepetition taxes, thereby burdening the Debtors estates and creditors with the payment of past costs, and as the court in Phar-Mor acknowledged, impairing the Debtors opportunity in Chapter 11 to emerge as
5
K&E 10990673.4
reorganized, profitable entities. Phar-Mor, 290 B.R. at 328. Such an avalanche of similar motions would only deflect valuable estate resources from the important work of restructuring the Debtors businesses. II. Payment of the Taxes that Accrued Prepetition Violates the Bankruptcy Codes Policy of Equality of Distribution 12. Fabric attempts to receive better treatment for the prepetition portion of the Taxes
than the treatment received by all other unsecured, prepetition creditors in direct violation of the well-settled policy of equality of distribution among similarly situated creditors embodied in the Bankruptcy Code. Courts in this circuit and district, including this Court, have consistently stated that a central policy of the Bankruptcy Code is equality of distribution to like-situated creditors. See, e.g., Specker Motor Sales Co. v. Eisen, 393 F.3d 659, 664 (6th Cir. 2004); In re Oakland Care Center, Inc., 142 B.R. 791, 794 (E.D. Mich. 1992) (holding that basic policy of bankruptcy law [is] equality of distribution among similarly situated creditors); In re Ruggeri Electrical Contracting, Inc., 199 B.R. 903, 908 (Bankr. E.D. Mich. 1996) (Rhodes, J.) (finding that basic principle of the Bankruptcy Code is equality of distribution among creditors). To overcome this guiding principle of the Bankruptcy Code, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has determined that the preference for one creditor over others must be made clear by the purpose of the statute at issue. See In re CSC Indus., Inc., 232 F.3d 505, 508 (6th Cir. 2000). 13. In interpreting the provisions of section 365(d)(3), courts have determined that the
purpose of section 365(d)(3) is to give relief to a lessor during the period after a debtor files for bankruptcy until such time as the debtor decides to assume or reject such lease and not, as Fabric seeks, to provide lessors with preferential treatment of their prepetition claims. See, e.g., Handy Andy, 144 F.3d at 1128 (finding purpose of section 365(d)(3) was to allow lessors to collect rent during postpetition, prerejection period); In re Furrs Supermarkets, Inc., 283 B.R. 60, 69 6
K&E 10990673.4
(10th Cir. B.A.P. 2002) (stating that purpose of section 365(d)(3) is not meant to result in a lessors prepetition claims receiving preferential treatment); In re Koenig Sporting Goods, Inc., 229 B.R. 388, 396 (6th Cir. B.A.P. 1999) (Rhodes, J., dissenting) (asserting that granting priority status to lessors prepetition claims that would otherwise be unsecured is unjust); Phar-Mor, 290 B.R. at 325 (same); see also In re E-Z Serve Convenience Stores, Inc., 2003 WL 21145800, at *3 (Bankr. M.D.N.C. May 13, 2003).3 The court in Koenig also recognized that the purpose of section 365(d)(3) is to provide lessors with this limited relief. 14. What these courts did not find within the purpose of section 365(d)(3) is an ability
for lessors to receive better treatment of their prepetition claims than similarly situated creditors. By its Motion, Fabric seeks to violate the policy of equality of distribution among creditors espoused by the Bankruptcy Code without giving effect to the clear Congressional purpose that courts in the Sixth Circuit (and elsewhere) require to grant preferential treatment to any one creditor over all other similarly situated creditors. Even the court in Koenig, on which Fabric relies, did not assert that the purpose of section 365(d)(3) is to provide administrative expense priority to prepetition claims of lessors. Therefore, Fabric seeks to gain a windfall at the expense of all other unsecured prepetition creditors without any support that section 365(d)(3) was meant to provide Fabric with such priority. 15. Additionally, not only does Fabric seek to gain a windfall at the expense of its
fellow unsecured, prepetition creditors, but it also seeks to gain a windfall over certain of its fellow lessors. Fabric asks the Court to have the priority of an entire tax claim hinge on its due
See Koenig, 203 F.3d at 989 (stating that the purpose of section 365(d)(3) is to relieve the burden placed on nonresidential real property lessors during the period between a tenants bankruptcy petition and assumption or rejection of a lease) (quoting In re Pudgies Dev. of N.Y., Inc., 239 B.R. 688, 692 (S.D.N.Y. 1999)).

K&E 10990673.4
date, a date neither it nor the Debtors can control. This approach would allow Fabric to receive full and current payment for its prepetition claims, while any lessor who was unlucky enough to have a tax bill come due prior to the Petition Date would receive no such favored treatment. Such a windfall is clearly prejudicial to [other] landlord[s]. In re Koenig Sporting Goods, Inc., 229 B.R. 388, 396 (6th Cir. B.A.P. 1999) (Rhodes, J., dissenting) (asserting that providing administrative priority to the entire claim of a lessor simply because such claim comes due in the postpetition, prerejection period is unfair and unjust). Thus, without clear authority, Fabric seeks to gain windfalls and leave in its wake only impaired unsecured, prepetition creditors and unfortunate lessors. Conclusion 16. Fabric seeks to gain an unfair advantage over other unsecured, prepetition
creditors in direct violation of the guiding principle of the Bankruptcy Code that equally situated creditors are to be treated equally. As is supported by the weight of authority and fairness, prepetition taxes are not the same as rent paid in advance and are not entitled to receive priority to the detriment of all other unsecured, prepetition creditors and the Debtors restructuring efforts. For all of the foregoing reasons, the Debtors respectfully submit that the Motion should be denied.
