FAH LIQUIDATING CORP. (f/k/a FISKER AUTOMOTIVE HOLDINGS,

) Chapter 11

) Case No. 13-13087 (KG)

Jointly Administered Hearing Date: Not Applicable

Response Deadline: Not Applicable

MOTION TO SHORTEN NOTICE OF THE EMERGENCY MOTION OF THE OFFICIAL COMMITTEE OF UNSECURED CREDITORS TO

TERMINATE THE DEBTORS' EXCLUSIVITY PERIODS TO PERMIT THE COMMITTEE TO FILE A PLAN OF LIQUIDATION

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") appointed in the

above-captioned cases of FAH Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc.), et al.

(the "Debtors"), by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby submits this motion (the

"Committee's Motion to Shorten"), pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 105, Fed, R. Bankr. P. 9006, and

Rule 9006-1(e) of the Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure of the United States

Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Local Rules"), for entry of an order

shortening notice of the Emergency Motion of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors to

Terminate the Debtors' Exclusivity Periods to Permit the Committee to File a Plan of

Liquidation (the "Motion to Terminate Exclusivity"), filed contemporaneously herewith, such

that (a) the Motion to Terminate Exclusivity will be considered by the Court at the omnibus

hearing scheduled for May 6, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. (the "Hearing") and (b) objections to the

Motion to Terminate Exclusivity must be filed no later than noon the day before the Hearing. In

support of the Committee's Motion to Shorten, the Committee respectfully states as follows:

The Debtors, together with the last four digits of each Debtor's federal tax identification number, are FAH Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc.) (9678) and FA Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a Fisker Automotive, Inc.) (9075). The service address for the Debtors is 3080 Airway Avenue, Costa Mesa,

California 92626.

632401.2 05/02/2014

Case 13-13087-KG Doc 837 Filed 05/02/14 of 5

BACKGROUND

1. Contemporaneously herewith the Committee has filed the Motion to Terminate

Exclusivity, in which the Committee requests the Court terminate the Debtors' exclusivity period

and permit the Committee to file a plan of liquidation.

2. The urgency of this situation is entirely a function of the Debtors' unilateral filing

of the Debtors' Second Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the

Bankruptcy Code [D.I. 8281 (the "Debtors' Plan") on April 30, 2014. As of April 30, 2014, the

Committee and the Hybrid Parties (as defined in the Debtors' Plan) had resolved all of the

remaining disputed between them, and were prepared to agree to a confirmable plan. However,

the Debtors and the Committee had not resolved the disputes between them.

3. Notwithstanding the absence of agreement between the Debtors and the

Committee, the Debtors filed the Debtors' Plan. The Debtors' Plan states that it is a "joint plan"

with the consent of the Committee, but that is not true. Among other issues, the Debtors' Plan

does not reflect the agreements reached between the Committee and the Hybrid Parties, nor does

the Debtors' Plan address the Committee's other valid concerns with certain provisions of the

Debtors' Plan, described more fully in the Motion to Terminate Exclusivity.

4. Also on April 30, 2014, the Debtors filed their Ex Parte Motion of the Debtors for

Entry of an Order (A) Shortening Time for Notice of a Hearing to Consider the Motion of the

Debtors for Entry of an Order Approving the Debtors' Disclosure Statement and Granting

Related Relief (B) Setting Related Dates and Deadlines, and (C) Granting Related Relief,

requesting that the Court shorten notice of the Debtors' motion to approve the disclosure

statement associated with the Debtors' Plan, such that the Debtors' disclosure statement motion

will be heard on May 20, 2014 at 7:30 a.m.

2 632401.2 65/02/20 I 4


RELIEF REQUESTED

5. By the Committee's Motion to Shorten, the Committee respectfully requests that

the Court enter an order (a) allowing the Motion to Terminate Exclusivity to be heard at the

Hearing and (b) requiring objections to the Motion to Terminate Exclusivity to be filed no later

than noon the day before the Hearing.

BASIS FOR RELIEF

6. Local Rule 9006-1(c)(i) requires that all motion papers be filed and served at least

eighteen days prior to the proposed hearing, twenty-one days if service is by mail. $ee Del,•

Bankr. L.R. 9006-1(c)(i), Local Rule 9006-1(c)(ii) provides that objections, if any, to such a

motion are to be received at least seven days prior to the proposed hearing date. $ee Del. Bankr.

L.R. 9006-1(c)(ii). Local Rule 9006-1(e), however, provides that a motion may be heard on less

notice than as otherwise required "by order of the Court, on written motion (served on all

interested parties) specifying the exigencies justifying shortened notice." Del. Banta. L.R. 9006-

1(e). Further, 11 U.S.C. § 102(1) provides that the phrase "notice and a hearing" is a flexible

concept meant to take into account the "particular circumstances" of a motion. See 11 U.S.C.

§ 102(1) ('"[A]fter notice and a hearing', or similar phrase . . means after such notice as is

appropriate in the particular circumstances . .").

7. Based on these circumstances, Committee submits that the Committee's Motion

to Shorten should be granted. First, the urgency of this situation is entirely a function of the

Debtors' unilateral filing of the Debtors' Plan on April 30th. Second, granting the Committee's

Motion to Shorten leads to efficiency: It will allow the Court to address in one hearing the

various issues relating to the plan process.

3 632401.2 0510212014


8. The Committee understands that the Debtors currently intend to use the Hearing

as a status conference regarding the Debtors' Plan. Since the Debtor's proposed plan process

will already be the subject of the Hearing, the Committee submits that it is only natural to

address all issues with the plan process, including the Committee's plan.

9. Finally, the Committee respectfully submits that no party will be prejudiced by

granting the Committee's Motion to Shorten. The principal parties involved in the negotiation of

the plan in these cases—the Debtor, the Committee, and the Hybrid Parties—are sophisticated

entities represented by counsel, and have been deeply involved in negotiations regarding the

plan. Therefore, hearing the Motion to Terminate Exclusivity on May 6, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. with

objections to be filed by May 5, 2014 by noon should be sufficient time for these principal

parties or any another parties in interest to respond and be heard regarding the Motion to

Terminate Exclusivity.
