pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c), establishing bar dates for the filing of Proofs of Claim,

including 503(b)(9) Claims, and approving the form and manner of notice thereof, as more fully

set forth in the Motion; and this Court having jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§§ 157 and 1334 and S.D.Ind. L.R. 83-8(a) of the United States District Court for the Southern

District of Indiana; and this Court having found that this is a core proceeding pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 157(b)(2); and this Court being able to issue a final order consistent with Article III of

the United States Constitution; and this Court having found that venue of this proceeding and the

Motion in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409; and this Court finding

that the relief requested in the Motion is appropriately granted without notice or a hearing and

that the requirements of the Case Management Procedures should therefore be varied pursuant to

Paragraph 9 thereof; and this Court having found that the relief requested by the Motion is in the

best interests of the Debtors' estates, their creditors, and other parties in interest; and after due

deliberation thereon; and sufficient cause appearing therefor, it is hereby;

1. The Motion is GRANTED as set forth herein.

2. The sixtieth (60th) day after the Debtors serve the Bar Date Packages (or the

first business day thereafter, if such sixtieth day is not a business day) (the "General Bar

Date") is hereby fixed as the deadline for filing: (a) proofs of claim against the Debtors on

account of claims (other than claims of Governmental Units (as herein defined)) arising, or

deemed to have arisen by virtue of section 501(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, prior to the Petition

Date, (b) proofs of claim on account of claims arising under section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy

3. June 10, 2019 (the "Governmental Unit Bar Date") is hereby fixed as the

deadline for filing Proofs of Claim against the Debtors by all governmental units, as that term is

defined under section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Governmental Units"). The

Governmental Unit Bar Date shall apply to all claims held by Governmental Units against the

Debtors (whether secured, unsecured priority, or unsecured nonpriority) that arose prior to the

Petition Date, including Governmental Units with claims against the Debtors for unpaid taxes,

whether such claims arise from prepetition tax years or periods or from prepetition transactions

to which any of the Debtors were a party.

4. The Amended Schedule Bar Date for those claims affected by any such

amendment is hereby fixed as the later of: (a) the General Bar Date or Governmental Unit Bar

Date (as applicable) and (b) the date that is thirty (30) days from the date of service of notice to

the holder of the affected claim that the Debtors' Schedules have been amended.

5. The Rejection Bar Date for Proofs of Claim filed on account of Rejection

Damages Claims is hereby fixed as: (a) for Rejection Damages Claims related to rejections

previously authorized by the Court, the General Bar Date or Governmental Unit Bar Date (as

applicable), and (b) for Rejection Damages Claims related to the rejection of any other executory

contract or unexpired lease, the later of (i) the General Bar Date or Governmental Unit Bar Date

(as applicable) and (ii) thirty (30) days after the effective date of the rejection of such executory

contract or unexpired lease.

6. The following procedures, including the Bad Address Bar Date, shall apply in

connection with Bar Date Packages that are returned to the Debtors by the U.S. Postal Service as

undeliverable (each, and "Undeliverable Mailing"):

(a) If an Undeliverable Mailing is returned to the Debtors, the Debtors shall

make a reasonable effort to determine a correct mailing address for the intended recipient.

If the Debtors discover an alternate mailing address for the intended recipient of an

Undeliverable Mailing, they shall (a) send the Undeliverable Mailing to the intended

recipient at that address and (b) file a change of address for the intended recipient,

provided, however, that the Debtors (a) shall serve such change of address on the affected

intended recipient, but (b) are not be required to serve such change of address on any

other party who does not receive service through the CM/ECF System.

(b) Once a change of address has been filed, the affected intended recipient

shall have until the Bad Address Bar Date (as defined below) to file a proof of claim.

(c) If a Bar Date Package sent to an intended recipient at a changed address is

also returned as an Undeliverable Mailing, the Debtors shall file a certificate of service

with the Court advising that the Debtors have exhausted their reasonable efforts to find a

good mailing address regarding the intended recipient (the "Bad Address Certificate of

Service"); the Debtors may list more than one intended recipient on a single Bad Address

Certificate of Service.

(d) Upon the filing of a Bad Address Certificate of Service, any affected

intended recipient shall be entitled to a claim equal to the amount, if any, that the Debtors

scheduled for that intended recipient and that any such claim shall be given the treatment

reflected in the Schedules for that claim.

(e) Nothing in this Bar Date Order precludes the Debtors from objecting to

any claim, whether scheduled or filed, on any grounds.

(f) The Bad Address Bar Date is hereby fixed as the later of: (i) the General

Bar Date or Governmental Unit Bar Date (as applicable) and (ii) thirty (30) days after the

intended recipient of an Undeliverable Mailing is served with a notice of the filing of a

change of address by the Debtors.

Procedures for Filing Proofs of Claims

7. The proposed Bar Date Order provides that each person or entity (including,

without limitation, each individual, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company,

corporation, estate, trust, or governmental unit) asserting a claim against one or more of the

Debtors is required to file a separate proof of claim in the bankruptcy case of each Debtor against

whom a claim is asserted. Therefore, if a claimant wishes to assert a claim against multiple

Debtors, a separate Proof of Claim Form must be filed against each individual Debtor.

8. Each proof of claim filed must substantially comply with the Proof of Claim Form

and must be actually received on or before the applicable Bar Date by the Claims Agent, either

by (a) submitting a PDF version of the original proof of claim through the portal provided at the

dedicated website for these chapter 11 cases maintained by the Claims Agent at https://cases-

cr.stretto.com/scottys-holdings?r (the "Case Website") or (b) sending an original proof of claim

by regular mail, overnight courier, or messenger delivery, addressed to Scotty's Holdings, LLC,

et al. Claims Processing, c/o Stretto, 8269 E. 23rd Ave., Suite 275, Denver, CO 80238.

9. The Debtors shall not be required to accept proofs of claim sent by facsimile or

electronic mail transmission. For any claim to be properly and validly filed, a completed proof

of claim, signed by the claimant or an authorized agent of the claimant, accompanied by any

supporting documentation required by Bankruptcy Rules 3001(c) and (d), must be submitted on

or before the applicable Bar Date to the Claims Agent, as provided above. Proofs of claim must

also be in the English language and denominated in lawful United States currency.

10. The filing of a Proof of Claim substantially conforming to the Proof of Claim

Form is hereby deemed to satisfy the procedural requirements for the assertion of rights to

payment under section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that all other

administrative claims under section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code must be asserted by separate

requests for payment in accordance with section 503(a0 of the Bankruptcy Code or further order

of the Court.

Excluded Claims

11. Proofs of Claim need not be filed on account of the following claims (the

"Excluded Claims"):

a claim evidenced by a signed proof of claim already filed against a Debtor with either the Claims Agent (as defined below) or the Clerk of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana in a form substantially similar to Official Bankruptcy Form No. 410, provided, however, that, if the holder of such a claim has not yet asserted a 503(b)(9) Claim against a Debtor and wishes to do so, that holder must file its 503(b)(9) Claim by the General Bar Date;

a claim listed on the Schedules if (i) the claim is not scheduled as "disputed," "contingent," or "unliquidated"; (ii) the holder of such claim agrees with the description of the claim in the Schedules, including as to amount, priority, classification, and all other characteristics; and (iii) the holder of such claim does not dispute that its claim is an obligation only of the specific Debtor(s) against which the claim is listed in the Schedules;

a claim that has previously been allowed by order of the Bankruptcy Court;

a claim that has been paid in full by the Debtors in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code or an order of the Bankruptcy Court;

a claim for which a specific filing deadline previously has been fixed by the Bankruptcy Court;

any claim held by a Debtor against another Debtor;

any administrative claims held by a professional retained by the Debtors pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court for fees and expenses subject

a claim allowable under Bankruptcy Code §§ 503(b) and 507(a)(2) as an administrative expense of any of the Debtors' chapter 11 estates, provided, however, that 503(b)(9) Claims must be filed by the General Bar Date; and

claims based upon ownership of an equity interest in a Debtor, provided, however, that claims purportedly arising from rescission of a purchase or sale of an equity interest in a Debtor must be filed by the General Bar Date.

Effect of Failure to File a Proof of a Claim

12. Any holder of a claim that receives notice of the bar dates established by this Bar

Date Order (either actually or constructively) and that is required, but fails, to file a Proof of

Claim with respect to its claim or claims (including a 503(b)(9) Claim) in compliance with the

F. EFFECT OF NOT FILING A CLAIM

Any claimant that fails to timely file a Proof of Claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in this notice shall, with respect to such claim(s), be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from participating in the Debtors' chapter 11 cases with respect to voting on any proposed plan or plans, participating in any distribution in these chapter 11 cases, and asserting such claims against the Debtors. Nonetheless, holders of any such unfiled claims shall be bound by the terms of any plan or plans confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

G. THE DEBTORS' SCHEDULES AND ACCESS THERETO

You may be listed as the holder of a claim against one or more of the Debtors in the Debtors' respective Schedules. Copies of the Schedules may be examined: (a) on the Bankruptcy Court's electronic docket for the Debtors' chapter 11 cases, which is posted on the internet at http://ecf.insb.uscourts.gov;2 and (b) on the Case Website.

If you agree with the nature, amount and classification of your claim(s), and the

Debtor against which your claim(s) is/are scheduled, you do not need to file a Proof of Claim unless your claim is designated as "disputed," "contingent," or "unliquidated."

If you disagree with the description or amount of your claim contained in the Schedules,

or if you are unsure whether your claim is disputed, contingent, or unliquidated as to amount or is otherwise properly listed and classified, or if you believe you hold a claim against one or more of the Debtors that has not been scheduled, you MUST file a Proof of Claim on or before the relevant Bar Date or be subject to the consequences described in Section F above. Any entity that fails to file a Proof of Claim in reliance upon the Schedules bears sole responsibility for determining that its claim is accurately listed therein.

YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY REGARDING WHETHER

YOU HAVE CLAIMS AGAINST ONE OR MORE OF THE DEBTORS AND WHETHER YOU SHOULD FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM.
