Administrative and Professional Claims. The Receiver further requests that the Court exclude administrative and professional claims from the process and requirements of the Claims Bar Date Order in the following manner: Creditors holding Claims based on the provision of goods or services actually provided to the Receivership Defendants or the Receiver at the express request of the Receiver (the “Administrative Claims”) arising at or after the October 12, 2018 appointment of the Receiver will not be required to submit Proofs of Claim on or before the Bar Date and will not be subject to the Bar Date.

Procedures for Submitting Proofs of Claim. Except as otherwise ordered by the Court or provided below, each Claimant must submit a completed and signed Creditor Proof of Claim Form under penalty of perjury and evidencing such Claimant’s Claim, together with supporting documentation, to the Receiver in the manner indicated below so that such Proof of Claim is actually received on or before the Bar Date.

Contents and Form of Proof of Claim. The Receiver also requests that each Creditor Proof of Claim submitted to the Receiver conform substantially to and contain all of the information sought in the Creditor Proof of Claim Form (attached as Exhibit C) as approved by the Court. The Receiver proposes to reserve the right to reject any Creditor Proof of Claim Form that is altered, not filled out completely, not properly executed by the correct legal entity or individual or fails to include reasonable documentation to support the Claim(s).

Effect of Failure to Submit Proof of Claim On or Before the Bar Date. The Receiver proposes that any Claimant who is required to submit a Proof of Claim, but fails to do so in a timely manner or in the proper form, (i) be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law from asserting, in any manner, such Claim against the Receiver and the estates or property of the Receivership Defendants and their respective estates or property; (ii) be denied standing to object to any distribution plan proposed by the Receiver on account of such Claim; (iii) be denied any distributions under any distribution plan implemented by the Receiver on account of such Claim; and (iv) not receive any further notices on account of such Claim.

Request for Additional Information on Submitted Proofs of Claim. The Receiver proposes that, if, after receiving a Creditor Proof of Claim, the Receiver determines that he needs additional information to review the Claim, the Receiver may contact the Claimant by telephone or email to request such additional information.
Claim Disputes and Resolutions. The Receiver will review all the Claims properly submitted, negotiate with Claimants regarding any disputed Claims and attempt to resolve all such Claims. Pursuant to Paragraph 5(i), the Receiver has authority to compromise and settle any Claim, at any time, as appropriate, and all parties should be directed to cooperate with the Receiver to the maximum extent possible to achieve swift resolution of disputes concerning Claims.
