Province, Inc., as trustee (the “Trustee”) of the NG DIP Liquidating Trust (the “Liquidating
Trust”), hereby objects (the “Objection”) to Claim No. 311-1 (the “Instart Logic Claim”), filed by
Instart Logic Inc. (“Instart Logic”), against the above-captioned debtor’s (the “Debtor”) bankruptcy
estate. In support of the Objection, the Liquidating Trust submits the following memorandum of
points and authorities and the Declaration of Amanda Demby (the “Demby Declaration”).
I.
INTRODUCTION
The Liquidating Trust seeks entry of an order reducing the Instart Logic Claim from a
general unsecured claim in the amount of $114,349.00, to a general unsecured claim in the
amount of $18,777.00. The disputed portion of the claim (the “Disputed Portion”) should be
disallowed because it is based entirely upon an “early termination penalty” in the amount of
$95,592.00, which is not specified in the agreement between Instart Logic and the Debtor, and
which does not represent actual damages incurred by Instart Logic. Accordingly, the Disputed
Portion should be disallowed, pursuant to section 502(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, as
unenforceable against the Debtor.
II.
STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
This Court has jurisdiction to consider the Objection pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and
1334. This matter relates to the administration of claims against the Debtor’s bankruptcy estate
and is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), (B), and (O). Venue of this matter
is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. The statutory predicates for the
relief requested herein are sections 501 and 502(b) of title 11 of the United States Code (the
“Bankruptcy Code”), Rules 3001(b) and 3007 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the
“Bankruptcy Rules”), and Local Bankruptcy Rules 3001-1 and 3007-1.

STATEMENT OF FACTS
Background:
1. Prior to the commencement of this chapter 11 case, the Debtor and Instart Logic
entered into that certain Terms of Service Agreement dated March 14, 2016 (the “Agreement”),
whereby Instart Logic agreed to provide online and mobile services to the Debtor in exchange for
a fee. Exhibit “1” to Demby Declaration.
2. Section 3.2 of the Agreement governs termination, and provides that upon
termination, the Debtor is responsible for all fees and charges incurred prior to the date of
termination. No provision of the Agreement sets forth a penalty for early termination.
3. Section 8.8 of the Agreement is an “integration clause” that provides that the
Agreement is the “complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties”
and supersedes all other agreements.
4. Instart Logic filed the Instart Logic Claim against the Debtor’s Estate on March
15, 2017, asserting a general unsecured claim in the amount of $114,369.00. Exhibit “2” to
Demby Declaration.
5. The Instart Logic Claim is based upon $18,777 owed by the Debtor to Instart
Logic for pre-petition services, and $95,592.00 for an “early termination penalty.” Exhibit “2” at
section 8. The Instart Logic Claim provides no evidence of actual damages suffered by Instart
Logic as a result of the termination of its services.
6. On or about November 9, 2016 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtor filed a voluntary
petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”).
The Debtor’s Plan:
7. The Debtor no longer conducts business operations and is in the process of
liquidating its remaining assets pursuant to a plan of liquidation (the “Plan”) (Docket No. 658).
8. The Plan was confirmed on July 25, 2017, and the Debtor and Liquidating Trust
seek to resolve all claims filed against the Estate as efficiently as possible to allow for distribution
to unsecured creditors.

9. Upon the occurrence of the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”), the
Plan provides for the transfer of the Debtor’s assets to the Liquidation Trust, and the appointment
of the Trustee as the liquidating trustee of the Liquidating Trust. The Plan further provides that,
upon the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust shall have standing to file objections to claims
filed against the Debtor’s estate.
10. The Effective Date of the Plan occurred on August 18, 2017, at 5:00 p.m. Pacific
Standard Time. On August 22, 2017, the Debtor filed its Notice of: (1) Confirmation of Joint
Liquidating Plan of Reorganization of Debtor and Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors
Dated May 23, 2017 and Occurrence of Effective Date Thereof; and (2) Deadlines for Filing
Certain Claims (the “Notice of Effective Date”) to all parties in interest.
IV.
LEGAL ARGUMENT
A. Standard For Allowance of Claims
When a creditor files a proof of claim executed in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code
and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, such claim is deemed allowed unless the debtor
or a party in interest objects. 11 U.S.C. § 502(a).
A proof of claim executed and filed in accordance with the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy
Procedure constitutes prima facie evidence of the validity and amount of the claim. See Fed. R.
Bankr. P. 3001(f); See also In re Holm, 931 F.2d 620, 623 (9th Cir. 1991) (quoting 3 Lawrence P.
King, Collier on Bankruptcy, § 502.02, p. 502-22 (15th ed. rev'd 2008). A filing "in accordance
with" the Rules, in order to receive the benefit of the claim's prima facie validity, means that the
proof of claim must "set forth the facts necessary to support the claim." In re Marino, 90 B.R. 25,
28 (Bankr. D. Conn. 1988) (citing 9 Collier at § 3001.05; see also All-American Auxiliary, 95
B.R. 540, 545 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio 1989).
A claimant must attach all necessary supporting documents to obtain prima facie validity
under Rule 3001(f). See All-American Auxiliary, 95 B.R. at 545. This is required by Rule
3001(c), which provides:

When a claim, or an interest in property of the debtor securing the claim, is based on a writing, the original or a duplicate shall be filed with the proof of claim. If the writing has been lost or destroyed, a statement of the circumstances of the loss or destruction shall be filed with the claim.
Bankruptcy Rule 3001(c).
A creditor who files a proof of claim that lacks sufficient support under Rule 3001(c) and
(f) does so at its own risk. That proof of claim will lack prima facie validity, so any objection that
raises a legal or factual ground to disallow the claim will likely prevail absent an adequate
response by the creditor. See Campbell v. Verizon Wireless (In re Campbell), 336 B.R. 430, 436
(9th Cir. BAP 2005).
After an objection is raised, the objecting party bears the burden of going forward to
produce evidence sufficient to negate the prima facie validity of the filed claim. In re Pugh, 157
B.R. 898, 901 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1993) (citing In re Allegheny International, Inc., 954 F.2d 167,
173 (3d Cir. 1992). If the objecting party produces evidence sufficient to negate the validity of
the claim, the ultimate burden of persuasion remains on the claimant to demonstrate by a
preponderance of the evidence that the claim deserves to share in the distribution of the debtor's
assets. See id. (citing In re Allegheny International, Inc., 954 F.2d at 174; In re Holm, 931 F.2d at
623; and 3 Collier at § 502.02, p. 502-22). If the claimant cannot produce sufficient evidence to
prove the claim, the claim is subject to disallowance.
B. The Disputed Portion Should Be Disallowed Pursuant to Section 502(b)(1)
The Disputed Portion of the Instart Logic Claim should be disallowed in its entirety
because it is unenforceable against the Debtor under applicable law. 11 U.S.C. § 502(b)(1); In re
G.I. Indus., Inc., 204 F.3d 1276, 1281 (9th Cir. 2000). Section 502(b)(1) recognizes the settled
principle that “[c]reditors’ entitlements in bankruptcy arise in the first instance from the
underlying substantive law creating the debtor’s obligation, subject to any qualifying or contrary
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.” Travelers Cas. & Sur. Co. of Am. v. Pac. Gas & Elec. Co.,
549 U.S. 443, 450-41 (2007). A claim against the bankruptcy estate, therefore, “will not be
allowed in a bankruptcy proceeding if the same claim would not be enforceable against the debtor
outside of bankruptcy.” In re Combustion Eng’g, Inc., 391 F.3d 190, 245 (3d. Cir. 2004).

The purported basis for the Disputed Portion is an “early termination penalty” against the
Debtor in the amount of $95,592.00. However, the Agreement does not provide that the Debtor is
liable for any “early termination” penalty in the event that it cancels its services with Instart Logic
before the end of the term of the Agreement; it simply states that the Debtor is liable for all fees
and charges incurred prior to the date of termination. Consequently, the Disputed Portion should
be disallowed as unenforceable against the Debtor. See Golden State Foods Corp. v.
Columbia/Okura LLC, 2014 WL 2931127, at *3 (C.D.Cal.,2014); Grey v. Am. Mgmt. Servs., 204
Cal.App.4th 803, 807, 139 Cal.Rptr.3d 210 (2012) (a contract with an integration clause is
intended to be the final and complete expression of the parties’ agreement).
V.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the foregoing, the Liquidating Trust respectfully requests that the Court
sustain this Objection and enter an Order reducing the Instart Logic Claim from a general
unsecured claim in the amount of $114,349.00, to a general unsecured claim in the amount of
$18,777.00. The Liquidating Trust further requests all other and further relief as the Court deems
just and proper.
