Introduction 1. Pursuant to this Courts order entered on November 22, 2005 [Docket No. 1801]

(the Deadline Order), the current deadline for the Debtors to assume or reject the Leases is May 10, 2006 (the Deadline). TMCC now attempts to shorten the Deadline but has offered no compelling reason in the Motion that this Court should do so. Indeed, the Debtors exhaustively have worked with TMCC to resolve its alleged issues, but the Debtors have come to the unfortunate conclusion that the Motion is a misguided attempt by TMCC to use the Debtors bankruptcy filing to receive more than its bargained-for rights under the Leases. Accordingly, for the reasons that are set forth below, the Debtors respectfully submit that the Court should deny the Motion and extend the Deadline until the date a plan of reorganization is confirmed in these cases.2 2. The bases for the relief asserted by TMCC in the Motion are routine concerns for

contract counterparties to a chapter 11 debtor and are not sufficient to compel this Court to grant the extraordinary relief requested. In general, TMCCs stated bases for relief are (a) the Debtors alleged failure to remit postpetition payments pursuant to the Stipulated Order Providing for Adequate Protection Payments to Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, entered on August 11, 2005 [Docket No. 0917] (the Adequate Protection Order); (b) the Debtors failure to provide TMCC with a list of the Debtors plants that are to be closed; and (c) the Debtors use of the equipment under the Leases (the Equipment) in excess of the hours set forth in the Leases. 3. These bases, however, are without merit. First, the Debtors are in full compliance

with the Adequate Protection Order. In particular, the Debtors are current on all postpetition

Given that the Objection involves the same issues the Court would consider in a motion to extend the Deadline pursuant to the Deadline Order, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court consider the Debtors request set forth herein for such an extension.

K&E 10993291.3

amounts due under the Leases and continue to maintain full coverage insurance for the Equipment.3 4. Second, on or about January 31, 2006, as requested by TMCC, the Debtors

voluntarily provided a list of the plants that the Debtors have announced would be closed. This list should enable TMCC to confirm whether any of the Equipment is located at such plants and take any action, subject to compliance with the Leases, it believes is necessary to protect its interests in connection with any such Equipment. 5. Third, although the Debtors use of the Equipment may exceed the hours set forth

in the Leases in certain instances, the Leases explicitly contain hourly overtime charges to compensate TMCC for such use. That is, the very harm TMCC complains of and argues as a basis for assumption or rejection is specifically addressed in the Leases as part of the Debtors bargained-for rights. Pursuant to many of the Leases, these overtime charges are to be billed at the end of the respective lease term or upon termination of the respective lease. The Debtors are confident they have sufficient funds to pay any overtime charges upon being billed for such charges in accordance with the Leases. In the unlikely event the Debtors fail to pay any overtime charges under the Leases TMCC has the same protection every other party that performs services for the Debtors has it is entitled to an administrative expense claim for any benefit it provides the estates. 6. In short, TMCC has provided this Court with no justification for the relief it

requests, and the Motion should be denied.

Although at the time of filing the Motion certain postpetition amounts inadvertently may have been outstanding, the Debtors have since paid all required postpetition amounts. Further, the Debtors have instituted centralized procedures to ensure TMCC is paid timely.

K&E 10993291.3

Argument I. Applicable Legal Standards 7. Under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 101-1330 (the

Bankruptcy Code), a debtor may assume or reject an executory contract at any time before the confirmation of a plan . . . 11 U.S.C. 365(d)(2). As one court recently has stated: It has been observed that it is the clear policy of the Bankruptcy Code to provide the debtor with the breathing space following the filing of the bankruptcy petition, continuing until the confirmation of a plan, in which to assume or reject an executory contract. In re Enron Corp., 279 B.R. 695, 702 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2002) (citations omitted). The

provisions of the Bankruptcy Code recognize that [i]t is vitally important to all interested parties that the debtor make a prudent assumption or rejection decision. In re Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp., 54 B.R. 385, 388 (Bankr. W.D. Pa. 1985) (denying motion to compel assumption or rejection because: (1) the debtors cases were enormous and complex; (2) the determination to assume or reject was complicated and would take significant time; (3) any decision must wait determination of whether debtor would be reorganized or liquidated; and (4) the debtor had continued to perform all of its postpetition obligations) (emphasis in original)). 8. A counterparty to an executory contract, however, may request that the court

compel a debtor to assume or reject the contract prior to confirmation. In such an instance, the settled rule is that a debtor has a reasonable time within which to decide. 3 Collier on Bankruptcy 365.04[2][b] (Lawrence P. King rev. 15th ed., 2002); see Matter of McLouth Steel Corp., 20 B.R. 688 (Bankr. E.D. Mich. 1982) (holding that a debtor is entitled to a reasonable time to decide whether to assume or reject an executory contract and to determine the impact and result its election will have on the formulation of a plan); In re Republic Technologies Intern., LLC, 267 B.R. 548, 554 (Bankr. N.D. Ohio 2001) (When a request is made to determine a

4
K&E 10993291.3

specified period of time to assume or reject an executory contract, Courts have routinely indicated that the debtor has a reasonable time within which to determine whether adoption or rejection of the executory contract would be beneficial to an effective reorganization.); In re Whitcomb & Keller Mortgage Co, Inc., 715 F.2d 375, 379 (7th Cir. 1983) (same). 9. What is a reasonable period of time depends upon the facts and circumstances

of the particular case. 3 Collier on Bankruptcy 365.04[2][b]. In determining whether to compel a debtor to assume or reject an executory contract, one court recently considered the following factors: the damage the non-debtor will suffer beyond the compensation available under the Bankruptcy Code; the importance of the contract to the debtors business and reorganization; whether the debtor has had sufficient time to appraise its financial situation and the potential value of its assets in formulating a plan; the complexity of the case; and the number of contracts that the debtor must evaluate.

Enron, 279 B.R. at 702-703 (considering reasonable period of time during which debtor would have to assume or reject certain pipeline transportation agreements) (citations omitted); see also Theatre Holding v. Mauro, 681 F.2d 102, 105-06 (2nd Cir. 1982). 10. However, [a]bove all, the court should interpret reasonable time consistent with

the broad purpose of chapter 11, which is to permit the successful rehabilitation of debtors. In re Dunes Casino Hotel, 63 B.R. 939, 949 (D.N.J. 1986). II. It is Unreasonable to Compel the Debtors to Immediately Assume or Reject the Leases. 11. As set forth below, an analysis of the above-referenced Enron factors as applied to

the circumstances of these cases leads to the conclusion that it is premature and would be

5
K&E 10993291.3

detrimental to the Debtors, their estates and their creditors to require the Debtors to immediately assume or reject the Leases or at any time in the immediate future. Rather, the Debtors request that the Court, as explicitly provided by section 365(d)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and pursuant to the Deadline Order, extend the Deadline until the date a plan of reorganization is confirmed in these cases. (a) 12. First Factor: The Damage TMCC Will Suffer Beyond the Compensation Available Under the Bankruptcy Code. In determining what is a reasonable period for the Debtors to be compelled to

assume or reject the Leases, one may consider what damages, if any, TMCC will suffer that will not be paid in the ordinary course or compensated as a prepetition rejection damages claim (if the Leases are rejected) or as an administrative expense claim under section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code. Here, the Debtors currently are using the Equipment in the ordinary course of their business operations. Such use presents little, if any, physical risk to the Equipment going forward as the Debtors will continue to pay postpetition lease payments and remain current under the Leases pending assumption or rejection. 13. Though at the time of filing the Motion certain postpetition amounts may have

been outstanding, the Debtors have since paid all required postpetition amounts. Indeed, the Debtors have instituted centralized procedures to ensure TMCC is paid timely. In addition, pursuant to the Leases, the Debtors continue to maintain full coverage insurance for the Equipment. TMCC, therefore, pursuant to the Adequate Protection Order, is adequately

protected against any damage to or loss of the Equipment. 14. Furthermore, although the Debtors use of the Equipment may exceed the hours

set forth in the Leases, the Leases explicitly contain hourly overtime charges to compensate TMCC for such use. Pursuant to many of the Leases, these overtime charges are to be billed at 6
K&E 10993291.3

the end of the respective lease term or upon termination of the respective lease. The Debtors are making a good faith effort to work with TMCC to reconcile any postpetition overtime charges pursuant to the terms of the Leases. In the event any outstanding postpetition overtime charges exist, the Debtors will pay such amounts when due in accordance with the terms of the respective Leases. 15. Moreover, to the extent that TMCC performs postpetition services under the

Leases that provide benefit to the Debtors estates, it would be entitled to an administrative expense claim under section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code. Given that the Debtors are timely paying millions of dollars in other administrative expenses monthly, TMCC hardly would suffer any damages by being provided an administrative claim. (b) 16. Second Factor: The Importance of the Leases to the Debtors Business and Reorganization. Since their bankruptcy filing, the Debtors have been reviewing and analyzing

their business operations, including reviewing unexpired leases and executory contracts, to determine whether those leases and contracts are beneficial to the Debtors businesses and estates. In particular, the Debtors have been committed to expeditiously reviewing the Leases. The Debtors, however, are party to approximately 165 Leases with TMCC, and, thus, the Debtors review of the Leases is still ongoing. Indeed, the Debtors are currently in the process of reviewing all of their alternatives in an effort to secure the most cost-effective sources of the type of equipment under the Leases, which would benefit the Debtors, their estates and creditors. 17. In addition, the Debtors decision as to whether to assume or reject their leases

and contracts is dependent upon the Debtors future business plans, which (as discussed below) the Debtors are still formulating with the input and assistance from their advisors, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Committee) and the Debtors prepetition and 7
K&E 10993291.3

postpetition senior secured lenders (the Lenders) in connection with the plan of reorganization processes. Accordingly, the Debtors have not formed an informed business judgment as to whether to assume or reject the Leases. (c) Third Factor: Whether the Debtor Has Had Sufficient Time to Appraise Their Financial Situation and the Potential Value of Their Assets in Formulating a Plan. Despite the difficulties and complexities inherent with these cases, in the months

18.

since their bankruptcy filing, the Debtors have made and are continuing to make substantial and rapid progress towards effectuating their rehabilitation and developing a consensual plan of reorganization. In particular, as explained to the Court on prior occasions, the Debtors have been pursuing a dual-track process of undergoing an M&A process for the Debtors businesses (in whole or in part) while also developing a stand-alone plan of reorganization. In furtherance of both exit strategies, in the last three months the Debtors have successfully renegotiated their contracts with key customers (thus addressing the Debtors immediate cash flow issues), stabilized vendor relationships, sold their European operations, enhanced the quality of their management team and are presently implementing their cost reduction plans, which include the shedding of certain non-core assets and operations. At the same time, the Debtors also are implementing key M&A processes, which are approaching their final stages, and undertaking planning and analyses that are necessary precursors to presenting a plan of reorganization. Indeed, it is the Debtors expectation to emerge from chapter 11 this year, and a plan of reorganization is progressing with this target in focus. In sum, the Debtors efforts have resulted in tangible benefits for the businesses and demonstrate marked progress toward a successful emergence from chapter 11. 19. Although the Debtors are approaching a pivotal point in their dual-track process,

they are not yet in a position to make a sound business determination as to which contracts and 8
K&E 10993291.3

leases they should reject or assume. Depending on which path the Debtors take to reorganizing these cases, either assumption or rejection of the Leases may be appropriate. But, again, it is simply inappropriate to force the Debtors to make this decision now before the key plan of reorganization decisions have been made. Thus, under the current circumstances of these cases, it would make no economic or practical sense to compel the Debtors to assume or reject the Leases, particularly in a case such as this where the Debtors are complying with the Leases and the Leases provide a remedy for the issue of which TMCC complains overuse of the Equipment. (d) 20. Fourth Factor: The Complexity of the Case. This bankruptcy, which includes 38 administratively consolidated estates, is

clearly a very complex case. The Debtors have approximately 12,000 employees. The Debtors (together with various North American affiliates that did not file for chapter 11) had approximately $2.7 billion in global revenue in 2004; and they maintain dozens of domestic and foreign manufacturing plants. In short, this case is one of the largest cases ever filed in this District and contains extremely complex issues that the Debtors, the Committee, the Lenders and other key constituencies are attempting to resolve on a fast track. All of the estates resources are focused on emergence, and TMCC should not be allowed to distract the Debtors from this goal. Accordingly, this factor clearly weighs in favor of denying the Motion. (e) 21. Fifth Factor: The Number of Contracts that the Debtors Must Evaluate The Debtors are parties to thousands of contracts and leases, most of which are For the reasons

being evaluated in connection with the plan of reorganization processes.

previously stated, the Debtors require sufficient time to fully and adequately evaluate such contracts and leases in these cases, and this factor again weighs heavily in favor of denying the Motion. 9
K&E 10993291.3

Conclusion 22. For all of the foregoing reasons, the Debtors respectfully submit that the Motion

should be denied and the Deadline extended to the date a plan of reorganization is confirmed in these cases.

WHEREFORE, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court enter an order, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, (a) denying the Motion, (b) extending the deadline for the Debtors to assume or reject the Leases to and including the date a plan of reorganization is confirmed in these cases and (c) granting such other and further relief as is just and proper.
