Claims Pursuant to Section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3003 and 3007 and Local Rule 3007-1 (the “Larson-Young Declaration”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. In further support of this Objection, the Reorganized Debtors respectfully represent as follows: Jurisdiction and Venue 1. This Court has jurisdiction to consider this Objection under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and
1334. This is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). 2. Venue of the above-captioned chapter 11 cases and this Objection are proper in
this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 3. The statutory predicates for the relief requested herein are section 502(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3003 and 3007, and Local Rule 3007-1. General Background 4. On June 13, 2011 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed a voluntary
petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and each thereby commenced chapter 11 cases (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in this Bankruptcy Court (the “Court”). No request has been made for the appointment of a trustee or examiner, and subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtors continued to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On June 24, 2011, the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Committee”) in the Chapter 11 Cases. 5. On September 9, 2011, the Debtors filed the Debtors’ Second Amended
Disclosure Statement for Debtors’ Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 923] (including all exhibits thereto and as may be 2
amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Disclosure Statement”). That same day, the Court entered an order [Docket No. 935] approving the Disclosure Statement as containing “adequate information” within the meaning of section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code. 6. On November 1, 2011, this Court entered an order [Docket No. 1287] (the
“Confirmation Order”) confirming the Debtors’ Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (including all exhibits thereto and as may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, and as supplemented by the Plan Supplement, the “Plan”) pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3020. 7. 1370]. 8. Additional information about the Debtors’ businesses, the events leading up to the The Effective Date of the Plan occurred on November 30, 2011 [Docket No.
Petition Date, and the facts and circumstances surrounding the Debtors and the Chapter 11 Cases can be found in the Declaration of Joseph F. Trungale in Support of Debtors’ Chapter 11 Petitions and First Day Motions [Docket No. 19] filed on the Petition Date and incorporated by reference herein. Debtors’ Schedules 9. On July 11, 2011, each of the Debtors filed their Schedules of Assets and
Liabilities [Docket Nos. 182, 184, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194, 196, 198, 200, 202, and 204] and on August 17, 2011, Debtors Perkins & Marie Callender’s Inc. (f/k/a The Restaurant Company) and Marie Callender Pie Shops, Inc. amended theirs [Docket Nos. 745 and 750] (collectively, as amended, the “Schedules”). Bar Date and Proofs of Claim 10. On June 13, 2011, this Court entered an order [Docket No. 36] appointing Omni 3
Management Group, LLC (“Omni”) as the claims, balloting and noticing agent in these Chapter 11 Cases. Omni is authorized to maintain (i) all proofs of claim filed against the Debtors in these bankruptcy proceedings and (ii) an official claims register (the “Claim Register”) by docketing all proofs of claim in a claims database containing, among other things, information regarding the name and address of each claimant, the date the proof of claim was received by Omni, the claim number assigned to the proof of claim, and the asserted amount and classification of the claim. 11. On July 9, 2011, this Court entered an order [Docket No. 174] (the “Bar Date
Order”) (i) establishing August 16, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) (the “General Bar Date”) as the final date and time for filing proofs of claim against the Debtors’ estates on account of claims (including, without limitation, any secured claims, priority claims, and claims under section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code) which arose on or prior to the Petition Date, and (ii) approving the form and manner of notice of the Bar Date (as defined below). 12. Therein, the Court also established December 12, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing
Eastern Time) (the “Government Bar Date”) as the final date and time for any governmental unit to file a proof of claim against the Debtors’ estates on account of any claims that arose prior to or on the Petition Date. 13. Additionally, pursuant to the Bar Date Order, any person or entity asserting a
claim (each, a “Rejection Damages Claim”) against the Debtors’ estates in connection with the Debtors’ rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code is required to file a proof of claim on or before the later of (i) the General Bar Date or (ii) 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on the date that is thirty (30) days following the entry of the order approving the rejection of such executory contract or unexpired lease pursuant to which the person or entity asserting the Rejection Damages Claim is a party (the “Rejection 4
Bar Date”). 14. The Bar Date Order also provided that if the Debtors amend or supplement their
Schedules subsequent to the date of service of the Bar Date Notice (as defined in the Bar Date Order), the Debtors shall give notice of any such amendment or supplement to the holders of claims affected thereby, and such holders shall be afforded the later of (i) the General Bar Date and (ii) twenty-one (21) days from the date on which such notice is given, to file proofs of claim in these Chapter 11 Cases in respect of their claims (together with the General Bar Date, the Government Bar Date and the Rejection Bar Date, collectively, the “Bar Date”). 15. Pursuant to the Bar Date Order, the Bar Date Notice, together with a proof of
claim form, was served by first-class mail no later than two (2) calendar days after entry of the Bar Date Order on: (i) the U.S. Trustee; (ii) counsel to the Committee; (iii) all known holders of claims listed on the Schedules at the addresses stated therein; (iv) all parties known to the Debtors as having potential claims against any of the Debtors’ estates (as of the date of the entry of the Bar Date Order) and their counsel (if known); (v) all parties who have requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 (as of the date of the entry of the Bar Date Order); (vi) all known equity security holders of the Debtors; (vii) counsel to the agent for the Debtors’ prepetition Credit Facility and post-petition DIP Facility; (viii) counsel to the indenture trustee for the Senior Secured Notes; (ix) counsel to the indenture trustee for the Senior Notes; (x) counsel to the Restructuring Support Parties; (xi) all counterparties to any of the Debtors’ executory contracts and unexpired leases listed on the Schedules at the addresses stated therein; (xii) the attorneys of record to all parties to pending litigation against any of the Debtors (as of the date of the entry of the Bar Date Order); (xiii) the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware, and all taxing authorities for the jurisdictions in which the Debtors do business; and (xiv) the Securities and Exchange Commission [see Docket 5
Nos. 276 and 280]. 16. In addition, in accordance with the Bar Date Order, the Publication Notice (as
defined in the Bar Date Order) was published in the USA Today on July 21, 2011 [see Docket No. 380]. 17. Pursuant to Article VIII.D of the Plan and Paragraph 27 of the Confirmation
Order, any and all Claims for damages arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease must be filed with the Court in accordance with the terms of the Final Order authorizing such rejection, but in no event later than December 30, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), except for any such Claims on account of an executory contract or unexpired lease rejected pursuant to Article VIII.B of the Plan. Relief Requested 18. By this Objection, the Reorganized Debtors request the Court to enter the
Proposed Order, pursuant to section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules 3003 and 3007 and Local Rule 3007-1, disallowing and expunging in full or reclassifying each of the Disputed Claims, as indicated in further detail below and on Exhibits A and B to the Proposed Order. 19. In accordance with Local Rule 3007-1(e)(i)(E), the Reorganized Debtors believe
that this Objection complies in all respects with Local Rule 3007-1. Objection A. 20. NO LIABILITY CLAIMS After reconciling each of the Disputed Claims against the Debtors’ books and
records, the Reorganized Debtors have determined that the Debtors are not liable with respect to the claims identified on Exhibit A to the Proposed Order under the column titled “Claim Amount/Classification” (collectively, the “No Liability Claims”). 6
Upon review of the No
Liability Claims, the Reorganized Debtors simply cannot justify these claims as valid. Thus, the Reorganized Debtors believe that the No Liability Claims should be disallowed and expunged in their entirety. Any failure to disallow such claims would result in the applicable claimants receiving an unwarranted recovery against the Debtors’ estates, to the detriment of other creditors in these Chapter 11 Cases. 21. Accordingly, the Reorganized Debtors hereby object to the No Liability Claims
and request the Court to enter the Proposed Order disallowing and expunging in full each of the No Liability Claims, as provided for on Exhibit A to the Proposed Order. B. 22. RECLASSIFIED CLAIMS Local Rule 3007-1(f)(iii) provides that an objection based on substantive grounds,
other than incorrect classification of a claim, shall include all substantive objections to such claim. An objection based on incorrect classification of a claim, however, shall “provide in the title (or otherwise conspicuously state) that substantive rights may be affected by [the objection] and by any further [o]bjection that may be filed and otherwise compl[y] with [the] Local Rules [other than Local Rules 3007-1(f)(i) and (ii)].” Del. Bankr. L.R. 3007-1(f)(iii). 23. The claimants asserting the claims identified under the column titled “Claim
Amount/Classification” on Exhibit B to the Proposed Order (collectively, the “Reclassified Claims”) asserted that all or a portion of their claims are entitled to secured, administrative or priority status. After reconciling the Reclassified Claims against the Debtors’ books and records, the Reorganized Debtors have determined that the priority level of the Reclassified Claims should be adjusted. Specifically, the Reclassified Claims are not entitled, under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, to the secured, administrative or priority status set forth in each claimant’s proof of claim. As a result, the Reorganized Debtors believe that these Reclassified Claims should be reclassified as indicated in the “Modified Claim Amount/Classification” column on 7
Exhibit B to the Proposed Order. Any failure to do so would award the claimants undue secured, administrative or priority status to the detriment of other creditors in these Chapter 11 Chases. 24. Accordingly, the Reorganized Debtors hereby object to the Reclassified Claims
and request the Court to enter the Proposed Order reclassifying, in full or in part, as appropriate, each of the Disputed Claims, as provided for on Exhibit B to the Proposed Order. Reservation of Rights 25. The Reorganized Debtors and the Debtors and their estates reserve any
and all rights to amend, supplement or otherwise modify this Objection and to file additional objections to any and all claims filed in these Chapter 11 Cases, including, without limitation, any and all of the Disputed Claims. The Reorganized Debtors and the Debtors and their estates also reserve any and all rights, claims and defenses with respect to any and all of the Disputed Claims, and nothing included in or omitted from this Objection shall impair, prejudice, waive or otherwise affect any such rights, claims and defenses. Notice 26. The Reorganized Debtors will serve notice of this Objection upon: (i) the
U.S. Trustee; (ii) counsel to the Claims Administrator; (iii) counsel to the agent for the Debtors’ pre-petition Credit Facility and post-petition debtor-in-possession financing facility; (iv) counsel to the indenture trustee for the Senior Secured Notes; (v) counsel to the indenture trustee for the Senior Notes; (vi) counsel to the Restructuring Support Parties; (vii) claimants whose Disputed Claims are subject to this Objection; and (viii) all parties that, as of the filing of this Objection, have requested notice in these Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. In light of the nature of the relief requested, the Reorganized Debtors submit that no other or further notice is necessary.
Conclusion WHEREFORE, the Reorganized Debtors respectfully request that the Court enter an order, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2, granting the relief requested herein and such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

exhibits attached to the Proposed Order. I am authorized to execute this Declaration on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors. 3. Considerable resources and time have been expended in reviewing and
reconciling the proofs of claim filed or pending against the Debtors and their estates in these Chapter 11 Cases. The claims were carefully reviewed and analyzed in good faith utilizing due diligence by the appropriate personnel, including the claims agent in the Chapter 11 Cases, Omni Management Group, LLC. These efforts resulted in the identification of the “No Liability Claims” and the “Reclassified Claims,” as defined in the Objection and identified on Exhibits A and B to the Proposed Order, respectively. 4. The information contained on Exhibits A and B to the Proposed Order is true and
correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief. 5. The Reorganized Debtors have reviewed the Debtors’ books and records and
determined that the Debtors have no record of any liability on account of the No Liability Claims identified on Exhibit A to the Proposed Order. Accordingly, to prevent the claimants from receiving an unwarranted recovery, to the detriment of other creditors in these Chapter 11 Cases, the Reorganized Debtors seek to expunge and disallow in full the No Liability Claims. 6. The Reorganized Debtors have reviewed the Debtors’ books and records and
determined that the Reclassified Claims identified on Exhibit B to the Proposed Order should be reclassified as provided for on Exhibit B in order to prevent the claimants from receiving undue secured, administrative or priority status, to the detriment of other creditors of the Debtors’ estates. As a result, the Reorganized Debtors seek to reclassify the Reclassified Claims in the manner provided for on Exhibit B to the Proposed Order.
