BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF THE MOTION FOR ORDER COMPELLING DEBTORS TO PAY TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION PAST DUE PAYMENTS MANDATED BY THE STIPULATED ORDER PROVIDNG FOR ADEQUATE PROTECTION PAYMENTS AND FOR SANCTIONS The Debtors entered into a Stipulated Order Providing for Adequate Protection with Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (TMCC) on August 15, 2005 (Docket # 942). Pursuant to the Stipulated Order Providing for Adequate Protection, the Debtors were required to make monthly payments for the Equipment, as defined in the Motion, which was leased by the Debtors from TMCC pursuant to a Master Lease Agreement dated November 1, 1999 and various Supplements listing specific items of equipment (Equipment). The Debtors filed their Petitions for Chapter 11 relief on May 17, 2005. The Debtors continued to use the Equipment until surrender of the Equipment in August of 2006. In fact, the Debtors utilized the Equipment in excess of the hours agreed to in the various agreements between the Debtors and TMCC. The Debtors have failed to make the required payments pursuant to the Stipulated Order Providing for Adequate Protection Payments. The Debtors should be compelled to pay to TMCC the

amount of One Hundred Seven Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Four and 23/100 Dollars ($107,334.23) representing the past due post petition rents, taxes and late charges within ten (10) days of the date that an order is entered.
Although TMCC has provided payment histories on more than one occasion to the Debtors, the Debtors still refuse to make payments or engage in discussion on the amounts due. Counsel for the Debtors has failed to respond to correspondence from the counsel for TMCC on the subject as well. TMCC has been more than reasonable in its attempts to obtain payment without resorting to filing a motion to seek the Courts involvement. Due to the Debtors disregard of this Courts Order Providing for

Adequate Protection Payments and the failure to respond to inquiries from counsel for TMCC, counsel for TMCC was forced to file this motion. The Debtors should be sanctioned for such unreasonable conduct and TMCC suggests that Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars is an appropriate sanction. Respectfully submitted; KILPATRICK & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
