4 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
f) authorizing and directing holders of Section 503(b)(9) Claims to assert such claims pursuant to timely-filed proofs of claim; and
g) approving the notice procedures proposed herein.
8. The Debtors will establish a deadline for all persons or entities (except for
professionals retained in these Chapter 11 Cases) holding any right to payment constituting an
actual, necessary cost or expense of administering these cases or preserving the estates under
section 503(b) and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code that arose after the Petition Date at a later

5 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
f) Proofs of claim must: (i) be in writing and signed by the claimant or, if the
claimant is not an individual, by an authorized agent of the claimant; (ii) include supporting documentation or, if voluminous, a summary of supporting documents and an explanation as to why documentation is not available and identify where such supporting documentation may be obtained; (iii) be in English; and (iv) be denominated in United States currency.
g) Section 503(b)(9) Claims shall be asserted through proofs of claim, and each proof of claim asserting a Section 503(b)(9) Claim must also: (i) include the value of the goods delivered to and received by the applicable Debtor in the twenty (20) days prior to the Petition Date; (ii) attach documentation identifying the particular invoices corresponding to the asserted Section 503(b)(9) Claim; and (iii) attach documentation demonstrating that the goods were received by the Debtors within the 20 days preceding the Petition Date.
h) Each proof of claim must specify by name the Debtor against which the claim is asserted and the corresponding case number, and if the holder asserts a claim against more than one Debtor, a separate proof of claim must be filed against each such Debtor.
If more than one Debtor is listed on the Proof of Claim Form, the Debtors will treat such claim as filed only against the first listed Debtor.
Any claim filed under the joint administration case number of 19-11466 that does not identify a specific Debtor against which the claim is asserted shall be deemed as filed only against Center City Healthcare, LLC.
i) Any entity that files a proof of claim by mail and wishes to receive a date-stamped copy by return mail shall include an additional copy of the proof of claim and a self-addressed postage-paid envelope.
10. The Debtors propose that the following persons or entities not be required to file a
proof of claim in accordance with the procedures set forth herein:
a) any person or entity that has already properly filed a proof of claim with Omni or the Court in a form substantially similar to Official Form 410;
b) any person or entity whose claim is listed on a Debtor’s Schedule D or E/F, and (i) the claim is not described as “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated,” (ii) such person or entity agrees with the amount, nature, and
Case 19-11466-MFW Doc 1471 Filed 03/13/20 Page 5 of 14
6 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
priority of the claim set forth in the Schedules, and (iii) such person or entity agrees that the claim is an obligation of the specific Debtor that listed the claim in its Schedules;
c) any person or entity whose claim has been allowed by order of the Court entered on or before the applicable Bar Date;
d) any person or entity whose claim has been satisfied in full by the Debtors or any other party prior to the applicable Bar Date;
e) any holder of a claim for which the Court has already fixed a specific deadline to file a proof of claim;
f) an employee of a Debtor if an order of this Court authorized such Debtor to honor the employee’s claim in the ordinary course of business, and the Debtor actually paid such claim, such as a wage, commission or benefit claim; provided however, that an employee must submit a proof of claim by the Bar Date for all other claims, including claims for deferred compensation, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment, retaliation, claims covered by the Debtors’ workers’ compensation insurance, or any other litigation or pre-litigation claim;
g) any Debtor having a claim against another Debtor; and
h) any holder of an equity interest in a Debtor need not file a proof of interest with respect to the ownership of such equity interest at this time; provided, however, that any holder of an equity interest who wishes to assert a claim against a Debtor, including a claim relating to such equity interest or the purchase or sale of such interest, must file a proof of claim asserting such claim on or prior to the Bar Date pursuant to procedures set forth herein.
Effect of Failure to File a Proof of Claim
11. The Debtors request that any holder of a claim against any Debtor who receives
notice of the applicable Bar Date (whether such notice was actually or constructively received)
and is required, but fails, to file a Proof of Claim Form in accordance with the Bar Date Order on
or before the applicable Bar Date, (a) shall be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from
asserting such claim against any Debtor (or filing a proof of claim with respect thereto), and such
Debtor and its property may, upon confirmation of a chapter 11 plan with respect thereto, be
forever discharged from all indebtedness and liability with respect to such claim, and (b) shall

7 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
not receive or be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of property from the Debtors or
their successors or assigns with respect to such claim.
12. Moreover, such persons or entities that fail to file a proof of claim in accordance
with the Bar Date Order shall no longer receive further notices from the Debtors regarding such
claims.
Proposed Bar Date Notice Procedures
A. Bar Date Notices
13. With the assistance of Omni, the Debtors propose to serve all known2 persons or
entities holding potential prepetition claims against any of them, including former patients of the
Debtors3, with written notice of the Bar Dates, substantially in the form of the Bar Date Notice.
Among other things, the Bar Date Notice will (a) identify the Bar Dates, (b) provide holders of
claims with information necessary to allow them to make an informed decision as to whether to
file a proof of claim, and (c) describe the procedures for filing a timely proof of claim and the
consequences of failing to do so.
14. No later than seven (7) business days after entry of the Bar Date Order, the
Debtors will cause to be served the Bar Date Notice, in substantially the form attached to the Bar
Date Order as Exhibit 2, by first class U.S. mail, postage prepaid, along with a copy of the Proof
of Claim Form, on the following parties:
i. The Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware;
2 For the purposes of this Motion, a creditor or entity is, consistent with applicable case law, considered
“known” to the extent its identity is either known or is “reasonably ascertainable by the debtor.” Chemetron Corp. v. Jones (In re Chemetron Corp.), 72 F.3d 341, 346 (3d Cir. 1995) (citing Tulsa Prof. Collection Serv., Inc. v. Pope, 485 U.S. 478, 490 (1988)).
3 Consistent with the Order Approving Certain Procedures to Maintain the Confidentiality of Patient
Information as Required by Applicable Privacy Rules [D.I. 72], the names and addresses of any former patients served with the Bar Date Notice will be redacted from the affidavit of service for the Bar Date Notice.

ii. Counsel to the Committee; iii. Counsel to MidCap Funding IV Trust; iv. All known holders of claims and their counsel (if known) listed on the
Schedules at the addresses stated therein; v. All parties known to the Debtors as having potential claims against the
Debtors’ estates as of the applicable Bar Date and their counsel (if known);
vi. All counterparties to the Debtors’ executory contracts and unexpired
leases listed on the Schedules (including all collective bargaining agreements) at the addresses stated therein (to be amended or supplemented as necessary);
vii. All parties to litigation with any of the Debtors (as of the date of the entry
of the Bar Date Order) and their counsel (if known); viii. All parties who have requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002; ix. All persons or entities that have previously filed Applications or proofs of
claim in these Chapter 11 Cases as of the date upon which the Bar Date Order is entered;
x. The Internal Revenue Service; xi. All other taxing authorities for the jurisdictions in which the Debtors
maintain or conduct business; xii. All known Governmental Units in these Chapter 11 Cases; xiii. All known equity holders of the Debtors as of the Petition Date; xiv. All current employees, directors and officers and former employees,
directors and officers (to the extent that contact information for a former employee, director or officer is available in the Debtors’ books and records);
xv. All relevant state attorneys general; xvi. All other entities listed on the Debtors’ matrix of creditors; xvii. All former patients of the Debtors; and

9 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
xviii. Pursuant to Local Rule 2002-1(e), counsel to any of the foregoing, if known.
15. The proposed Bar Date Notice will notify all parties in interest known to the
Debtors of the Bar Dates and contain information regarding the procedure for filing a proof of
claim, who must file, and the consequences of failing to timely file a proof of claim. The
Debtors will send the Bar Date Notice to each creditor’s last known address included in their
books and records.
16. The Debtors respectfully submit that the proposed notice procedures and the
mailing of the Bar Date Notice on the foregoing parties will provide good, sufficient and due
notice to any creditor or party-in-interest who may wish to assert a proof of claim against the
Debtors.
B. Publication Notice
17. In addition to serving the Bar Date Notice, the Debtors propose to publish notice
of the Bar Dates, substantially in the form of the Publication Notice annexed to the Bar Date
Order as Exhibit 3, at least once no later than twenty-one (21) days before the Bar Date in the
Philadelphia Inquirer and either the Wall Street Journal or USA Today. The Publication Notice
will provide effective notice of the Bar Dates to all creditors, including (a) any creditors who are
unknown or not reasonably ascertainable by the Debtors, (b) known creditors with addresses that
are unknown to the Debtors or are no longer accurate and/or updated, and (c) potential creditors
with claims against the Debtors.
Case 19-11466-MFW Doc 1471 Filed 03/13/20 Page 9 of 14
10 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
Basis for Relief Requested A. Ample Authority Exists to Approve the Bar Dates and the Proposed Procedures for
Filing Proofs of Claim
18. Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(3) generally governs the filing of proofs of claim in a
chapter 11 case and provides, in relevant part, that “[t]he court shall fix and for cause shown may
extend the time within which proofs of claim or interest may be filed.” Fed. R. Bankr. P.
3003(c)(3). Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(2) further requires that any claimant that asserts a claim
against any of the Debtors that arose prior to the Petition Date, and that is either not scheduled or
scheduled as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, must file a proof of claim.
19. Although Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a)(7) generally provides that all parties in
interest must receive, at a minimum, 21 days’ notice of the time fixed for filing proofs of claim
pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c), neither the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, nor
the Local Rules specify a time by which proofs of claim must be filed in chapter 11 cases, other
than section 502(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that governmental units shall
have a minimum 180 days after the entry of the order for relief to file proofs of claim. As a
result, this Court has discretion in setting such a date and is authorized to grant the relief
requested in this Motion. See 11 U.S.C. § 105(a) (empowering a court to issue “any order,
process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of” the
Bankruptcy Code); 2 Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 105.01 (Alan N. Resnick and Henry J. Sommer
eds., 15th ed. rev. 2011) (“The basic purpose of section 105 is to assure the bankruptcy courts
power to take whatever action is appropriate or necessary in aid of the exercise of their
jurisdiction.”).
20. The procedures proposed herein provide creditors with ample notice and a clear
process for filing proofs of claim in a manner that achieves administrative and judicial
Case 19-11466-MFW Doc 1471 Filed 03/13/20 Page 10 of 14
11 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
efficiency. These proposed procedures will also allow these Chapter 11 Cases to move forward
quickly with minimum administrative expense and delay. At this point, the Debtors are focused
on moving towards the formulation of a chapter 11 plan and require complete and accurate
information as to the nature, validity and status of claims that may be asserted against their
estates in order to do so.
21. The Debtors thus propose that, except as otherwise provided below, all persons
and entities (including, without limitation, individuals, partnerships, corporations, joint ventures
and trusts), including Governmental Units, that assert a “claim” (as such term is defined in
section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against any Debtor that arose prior to the Petition Date,
including Section 503(b)(9) Claims, be required to file a proof of claim by the applicable Bar
Dates in accordance with the procedures described above.
B. The Proposed Notice Procedures are Reasonable and Appropriate
22. Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a)(7) requires that the Debtors provide claimants at least
21 days’ notice by mail of a bar date established pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c).
Additionally, Bankruptcy Rule 2002(l) provides that the Court may order notice by publication if
it finds that notice by mail is impractical or it is desirable to supplement another notice.
Bankruptcy Rule 9008 also provides that the Court shall determine the form and manner of
publication notice, the newspapers used, and the frequency of publication.
23. In conjunction with setting the Bar Dates, the Debtors must ensure that creditors
and other interested parties receive adequate and appropriate notice of the Bar Dates. The
Debtors propose to mail the Bar Date Notice to their known creditors and must rely on
publication to give notice to their unknown creditors.
Case 19-11466-MFW Doc 1471 Filed 03/13/20 Page 11 of 14
12 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
24. To determine the adequacy of notice given to a creditor, bankruptcy law
distinguishes between “known” and “unknown” creditors. See In re Chemetron Corp., 72 F.3d
at 345. As the Third Circuit in Chemetron explained, “[k]nown creditors must be provided with
actual written notice of a debtor’s bankruptcy filing and bar claims date.” Id. at 346. A “known”
creditor is one whose identity is either known or is “reasonably ascertainable by the debtor.” Id.
(citing Tulsa Prof’l Collection Servs., Inc. v. Pope, 485 U.S. 478, 490 (1988)). An “unknown”
creditor is one whose “interests are either conjectural or future or, although they could be
discovered upon investigation, do not in due course of business come to knowledge [of the
debtor].” Id. (citing Mullane v. Cent. Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 317 (1950)).
For “unknown claimants, notification by publication will generally suffice.” Id.
25. The Debtors submit that the proposed notice procedures respecting the Bar Dates
satisfy the Chemetron standard. Specifically, to the extent the Bar Dates are established as of
March 30, 2020, the Debtors intend to (i) mail the Bar Date Notice to known holders of claims
no later than seven (7) business days after the entry of the Bar Date Order, and (ii) provide
Publication Notice by a date that is no later than 21 days before the Bar Dates. Thus, assuming
the Bar Date Order is entered on or before March 30, 2020, all known holders of claims will
have forty-five (45) days of actual notice and unknown or unreachable holders of claims will
have at least twenty-one (21) days of constructive notice of the Bar Dates for filing their claims,
thereby satisfying Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a)(7).
26. Moreover, the Debtors filed their Schedules on August 14, 2019. Known holders
of claims will therefore have had approximately eight months within which to review the
Schedules, reconcile the information contained therein with their own books and records and
prepare and file proofs of claim, if necessary. In addition, in the event the Debtors amend or
Case 19-11466-MFW Doc 1471 Filed 03/13/20 Page 12 of 14
13 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
supplement the Schedules, the Debtors shall give notice of any such amendment to the holders of
affected claims, and such holders will have twenty-one (21) days from the notice date to file a
proof of claim.
27. The Debtors believe that the proposed procedures and notice periods afford
holders of claims ample opportunity to review the Bar Date Notice and the Schedules, and to file
proofs of claim while, at the same time, ensuring that the Debtors remain in chapter 11 for no
longer than is necessary. Accordingly, for all the foregoing reasons, the Debtors respectfully
submit that the proposed Bar Dates and the form and manner of providing notice thereof are
appropriate in light of the circumstances, inure to the benefit of all parties in interest and should
be approved.
Notice
28. The Debtors will provide notice of this Motion to: (i) the Office of the United
States Trustee; (ii) counsel to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors; (iii) counsel to
MidCap Funding IV Trust; (iv) Drexel University d/b/a Drexel University College of Medicine;
(v) the Debtors’ unions; (vi) the Internal Revenue Service; (vii) the United States Attorney for
the District of Delaware; (viii) the United States Department of Justice; (ix) the Pennsylvania
Attorney General’s Office; (x) the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services; (xi) the City of
Philadelphia; and (xii) all parties who have filed a notice of appearance and request for service of
papers pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. In light of the nature of the relief requested, the
Debtors respectfully submit that no further notice is necessary.
No Prior Request
29. No prior application for the relief sought herein has been made by the Debtors to
this or any other Court.

A CLAIMANT SHOULD CONSULT AN ATTORNEY IF THE CLAIMANT HAS ANY
QUESTIONS, INCLUDING WHETHER TO FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM.
If you have any questions with respect to this notice, you may contact the Debtors’ claims agent, Omni Management Group (“Omni”) at (866) 662-2281, or by email at [email protected]. Please note that Omni is not permitted to give you legal advice. Omni cannot advise you how to file, or whether you should file, a Proof of Claim Form.
--PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTING PROOFS OF CLAIM-- 1. WHO MUST FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM
You MUST file a Proof of Claim if you have a claim that arose prior to the Petition Date and it is not a claim described in Section 2 below. Acts or omissions of the Debtors that arose prior to the Petition Date may give rise to claims against the Debtors that must be filed by the applicable Bar Dates, notwithstanding that such claims may not have matured or become fixed or liquidated as of the Petition Date.
Under section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code and as used herein, the word “claim” means: (a) a right to payment, whether or not such right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured; or (b) a right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured, or unsecured.
2. WHO NEED NOT FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM
The following persons or entities are NOT required to file a proof of claim in accordance with the procedures set forth herein:
a) any person or entity that has already properly filed a proof of claim with Omni or the Court in a form substantially similar to Official Form 410;
Creditors are encouraged to confirm that their claim is recorded as intended on the claims register by either reviewing

https://omnimgt.com/centercityhealthcare or by contacting the Center City Healthcare, LLC, et. al. Claims Processing Center at (866) 662-2281.
b) any person or entity whose claim is listed on a Debtor’s Schedule D or E/F, and (i) the claim is not described as “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated,” (ii) such person or entity agrees with the amount, nature, and priority of the claim set forth in the Schedules, and (iii) such person or entity agrees that the claim is an obligation of the specific Debtor that listed the claim in its Schedules;
c) any person or entity whose claim has been allowed by order of the Court entered
on or before the applicable Bar Date;
d) any person or entity whose claim has been satisfied in full by the Debtors or any other party prior to the applicable Bar Date;
e) any holder of a claim for which the Court has already fixed a specific deadline to
file a proof of claim;
f) an employee of a Debtor if an order of this Court authorized such Debtor to honor the employee’s claim in the ordinary course of business, and the Debtor actually paid such claim, such as a wage, commission or benefit claim; provided however, that an employee must submit a proof of claim by the Bar Date for all other claims, including claims for deferred compensation, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, hostile work environment, retaliation, claims covered by the Debtors’ workers’ compensation insurance, or any other litigation or pre-litigation claim;
g) any Debtor having a claim against another Debtor; and
h) any holder of an equity interest in a Debtor need not file a proof of interest with
respect to the ownership of such equity interest at this time; provided, however, that any holder of an equity interest who wishes to assert a claim against a Debtor, including a claim relating to such equity interest or the purchase or sale of such interest, must file a proof of claim asserting such claim on or prior to the Bar Date pursuant to procedures set forth herein.
3. CLAIMS ARISING UNDER EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED
LEASES If you are a party to an executory contract or unexpired lease with a Debtor and assert a claim for amounts accrued pursuant to such executory contract or unexpired lease and unpaid as of the Petition Date, you must file a proof of claim for such amounts on or before the applicable Bar Date, unless an exception in Section 2 otherwise applies.

4 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
If, in addition, you hold a claim that arises from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease, you must file a proof of claim based on such rejection on or before the Rejection Damages Bar Date. 4. WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM All proofs of claim must be filed so as to be received on or before the applicable Bar Date at the following address:
Center City Healthcare, LLC, et. al. Claims Processing c/o Omni Management Group 5955 DeSoto Ave., Suite 100 Woodland Hills, CA 91367
Proofs of claim can also be submitted electronically through Omni’s website, at the
following web address, www.omniagentsolutions.com/PAHSPOCSubmission, and by clicking on “Submit a Proof of Claim.”
Proofs of claim will be deemed timely filed only if actually received by the Omni Claims Processing Center on or before the applicable Bar Date. Proofs of claim may not be delivered by facsimile, telecopy, or electronic mail transmission, with the exception of proofs of claim submitted through the Omni case website, as described above. 5. HOW TO FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM Enclosed herewith is a copy of Official Form 410. Additional copies of Official Form 410 may be obtained at www.omniagentsolutions.com/PAHSPOCSubmission. The enclosed Proof of Claim Form may already contain information (based on the Debtors’ records) including your name, address and the appropriate Debtor. If you believe the information is incorrect, you may cross out that information and write in the correct information prior to submitting the Proof of Claim Form. If you file a proof of claim, your filed Proof of Claim Form must (i) be in writing and signed by the claimant or, if the claimant is not an individual, by an authorized agent of the claimant; (ii) include supporting documentation or, if voluminous, a summary of supporting documents and an explanation as to why documentation is not available and identify where such supporting documentation may be obtained; (iii) be in English; (iv) be denominated in United States currency; and (v) conform substantially with Official Form 410.
Each proof of claim asserting a Section 503(b)(9) Claim must also: (i) include the value of the goods delivered to and received by the applicable Debtor in the twenty (20) days prior to the Petition Date; (ii) attach documentation identifying the particular invoices corresponding to the asserted Section 503(b)(9) Claim; and (iii) attach documentation demonstrating that the goods were received by the Debtors within the 20 days preceding the Petition Date.
Case 19-11466-MFW Doc 1471-2 Filed 03/13/20 Page 18 of 24
5 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
Each Proof of Claim Form must specify the name of the Debtor against which the claim is asserted. Any holder of a claim against more than one Debtor must file a separate proof of claim against each Debtor, and all holders of claims must identify on their proof of claim the specific Debtor against which such claim is asserted and the case number of that Debtor’s bankruptcy case. The Debtors’ names and case numbers can be found at the top of the first page of the Proof of Claim Form.
Notably, if more than one Debtor is listed on a Proof of Claim Form, the Debtors will treat such claim as being filed only against the first listed Debtor. In addition, any claim filed under the joint administration case number (No. 19-11466) that does not identify a specific Debtor against which the claim is asserted shall be deemed as filed only against Center City Healthcare, LLC. If you file a proof of claim and wish to receive a file-stamped receipt copy by return mail, you must include with your Proof of Claim Form an additional copy of your Proof of Claim Form and a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope. 6. THE DEBTORS’ SCHEDULES AND ACCESS THERETO You may be listed in the Schedules as the holder of a claim against the Debtors. Interested parties may examine copies of the Schedules, the Bar Date Order and other filings in these cases free of charge at https://omnimgt.com/centercityhealthcare or on the Court’s electronic docket for a fee at http://ecf.deb.uscourts.gov (a PACER login and password are required and can be obtained through the PACER Service Center at http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov). Alternatively, you may request that a copy of the Schedules be mailed to you by contacting the Debtors’ claims agent, Omni, at (866) 662-2281, or by email at [email protected]. If you rely on the Debtors’ Schedules, it is your responsibility to determine that your claim is accurately listed in the Schedules. As set forth above, if you agree with the nature, amount, and status of your claim as listed in the Debtors’ Schedules, and if you do not dispute that your claim is only against the Debtor specified, and if your claim is not described as “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated,” you need not file a proof of claim. Otherwise, if you decide to file a proof of claim, you must do so before the applicable Bar Date, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this notice. In the event the Debtors file an amendment (a “Schedules Amendment”) to any of their Schedules and such Schedules Amendment (i) reduces the undisputed, noncontingent, and liquidated amount of a claim, (ii) reclassifies a scheduled, undisputed, liquidated, noncontingent claim as disputed, unliquidated, or contingent, or (iii) adds a new claim to the Schedules described as “disputed,” “contingent” or “unliquidated,” the deadline for each applicable claimant to file a proof of claim with respect to such amended or new claim shall be the later of (y) the Bar Date or (z) 5:00 p.m. (ET) on the date that is twenty-one (21) days after service of a notice on such claimant of the Schedules Amendment (the “Amended Schedules Bar Date”);

6 36555517.5.doc 03/13/2020
provided, however, that no such proof of claim need be filed if the claimant has already properly filed a proof of claim in a form substantially similar to Official Form 410.
CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM BY THE APPLICABLE BAR DATE
Absent further order of the Court to the contrary, except with respect to the
excluded claims described above, any holder of a claim against any Debtor who receives notice of the applicable Bar Date (whether such notice was actually or constructively received) and is required, but fails, to file a proof of claim, as applicable, in accordance with the Bar Date Order on or before the applicable Bar Date shall not be treated as a creditor with respect to such claim for the purposes of voting and distribution.

RESERVATION OF RIGHTS The Debtors reserve the right to dispute, or to assert offsets or defenses against, any claim
and nothing contained in the Bar Date Order or this notice shall preclude the Debtors from objecting to any filed claim on any grounds.
YOU SHOULD NOT FILE A PROOF OF CLAIM IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A
CLAIM AGAINST ANY OF THE DEBTORS. THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS NOTICE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE A CLAIM OR THAT THE DEBTORS OR THE COURT BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE A CLAIM.
