(iii) granting certain related relief. In support of this motion, the Debtors rely on and incorporate by reference Andrew Clarke’s Declaration in Support of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Petitions and

First Day Pleadings (the “Clarke Declaration”), filed concurrently with this motion.2 In further support of the motion, the Debtors, by and through their undersigned proposed counsel, respectfully represent:

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

1. This Court has jurisdiction to consider this motion under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157

and 1334 and venue is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. This is a core proceeding under

28 U.S.C. § 157(b).3

BACKGROUND

2. On December 3, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed a

voluntary petition with this Court for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code,

§§ 101-1532, et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtors continue to manage and operate their

business as debtors in possession under sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

3. Francesca’s is a specialty retailer that operates a nationwide-chain of

boutiques providing a diverse assortment of apparel, jewelry, accessories, and gifts. As of

December 1, 2020, the Debtors operate 558 boutiques in 45 states and the District of Columbia

and also serve their customers through www.francescas.com, their e-commerce website, and their

recently launched mobile app. Additional information on the Debtors’ business and capital

2 Capitalized terms used but not defined in this motion have the meanings used in the Clarke Declaration. 3 Pursuant to rule 9013-1(f) of the Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Local Rules”), the Debtors hereby expressly confirm their consent to the entry of a final order by this Court in connection with this motion if it is later determined that this Court, absent consent of the parties, cannot enter final orders or judgments in connection therewith consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution.

structure, as well as a description of the reasons for filing these cases, is set forth in the Clarke

Declaration.

RELIEF REQUESTED

4. By this motion, pursuant to sections 365 and 554 of the Bankruptcy Code

and Bankruptcy Rules 6006 and 6007, the Debtors respectfully request entry of interim and final

orders, substantially in the forms attached as Exhibit A (the “Interim Order”) and Exhibit B

(the “Final Order”), authorizing the Debtors to (a) reject, effective as of the Petition Date, certain

unexpired leases of nonresidential real property (the “Rejected Leases”) and (b) abandon certain

de minimis personal property (the “Abandoned Property”).

BASIS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED

I. FACTS SPECIFIC TO RELIEF REQUESTED

5. As noted above, in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors operate hundreds of retail boutiques throughout the United States. The Debtors do not own the real property where such stores are located and, instead, lease the real property from various counterparties. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors engaged in a comprehensive review of the financial performance of the Debtors’ boutiques and an analysis of their real estate lease portfolio.

As a result of this analysis, the Debtors identified certain boutique locations that were underperforming relative to lease costs.

6. Based on the Debtors’ analysis, prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors wound down their operations at the boutiques (collectively, the “Rejected Locations”) subject to the Rejected Leases set forth on Exhibit 1 to the Interim Order and vacated and surrendered the

Rejected Locations to the applicable lease counterparties. Prior to vacating the Rejected Locations,

the Debtors removed personal property that, in their business judgment, had more than de minimis

value to the Debtors and their estates. However, certain Abandoned Property remains at the

3 RLF1 24406143v.1 Case 20-13076-BLS Doc 108-1 Filed 12/09/20 Page 5 of 42

Rejected Locations, including, but not limited to, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The Debtors believe, in their business judgment, that such Abandoned Property will either be prohibitively expensive or difficult to remove, relative to its value, such that the economic benefits of removing the Abandoned Property is exceeded by the attended costs thereof. Therefore, the Debtors request permission to abandon any Abandoned Property at the Rejected Locations.

7. In light of the Debtors’ efforts to preserve and maximize the value of their estates, and to avoid incurring costs and expenses that are no longer integral to the Debtors’ business operations and their chapter 11 efforts, the relief requested herein is necessary and appropriate.

II. LEGAL BASIS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED

A. Rejection of the Rejected Leases is an Appropriate Exercise of the Debtors’ Business Judgment

8. Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a debtor, “subject to the court’s approval, may assume or reject any executory contract or unexpired lease of the debtor.” 11 U.S.C. § 365(a). The purpose of section 365(a) is “to permit the trustee or debtor-in- possession to use valuable property of the estate and to renounce title to and abandon burdensome property.” In re Republic Airways Holdings Inc., 547 B.R. 578, 582 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2016)

(quoting Orion Pictures Corp. v. Showtime Networks, Inc. (In re Orion Pictures Corp.), 4 F.3d

1095, 1098 (2d Cir. 1993)); see also Nat’l Labor Relations Bd. v. Bildisco & Bildisco (In re

Bildisco), 465 U.S. 513, 528 (1984) (“[T]he authority to reject an executory contract is vital to the basic purpose to a Chapter 11 reorganization, because rejection can release the debtor’s estate from burdensome obligations that can impede a successful reorganization.”); In re Exide Techs., 607

F.3d 957, 967 (3d Cir. 2010) (“Courts may use § 365 to free a [debtor] from burdensome duties that hinder its reorganization”).

4 RLF1 24406143v.1 Case 20-13076-BLS Doc 108-1 Filed 12/09/20 Page 6 of 42

9. Courts generally will not second-guess a debtor’s business judgment

concerning the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease. Further, the business

judgment standard is satisfied when a debtor determines that assumption or rejection will benefit

the estate. See In re Trans World Airlines, Inc., No. 01-0056 (PJW), 2001 WL 1820019, at *2

(Bankr. D. Del. Mar. 16, 2001) (noting that the standard under section 365 requires consideration of the benefit of the rejection to the debtor’s estate); see also In re TS Indus., Inc., 117 B.R. 682,

685 (Bankr. D. Utah 1990); In re Del Grosso, 115 B.R. 136, 138 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1990).

10. As noted above, the Debtors closed the boutiques associated with the

Rejected Leases and vacated and surrendered the Rejected Locations to the applicable lease

counterparties prior to the Petition Date. As such, the Rejected Leases constitute an unnecessary

drain on the Debtors’ resources, do not provide any benefit to the Debtors’ estates, and are not

necessary to the Debtors’ operations or the consummation of a sale transaction. The immediate rejection of the Rejected Leases will prevent the estates from incurring unnecessary administrative expenses associated with the Debtors’ obligations thereunder. The Debtors therefore submit that their decision to reject the Rejected Leases is an exercise of their sound business judgment and should be approved by the Court.

11. The Debtors may have claims against counterparties arising under, or independently of, the Rejected Leases. The Debtors do not waive such claims by the filing of this

motion or by the rejection of the Rejected Leases.

12. Generally, when a real property lease is rejected any relevant subleases are

also deemed rejected by operation of law. See Chatlos Sys., Inc. v. Kaplan (In re Chatlos Sys.,

Inc.), 147 B.R. 96, 99-100 (D. Del. 1992) (“When a lease is deemed rejected . . . any subleases

under that primary lease must also be deemed rejected since the sublessee’s rights in the property

5 RLF1 24406143v.1 Case 20-13076-BLS Doc 108-1 Filed 12/09/20 Page 7 of 42

extinguish with those of the sublessor.”); Doral Commerce Park, Ltd., v. Teleglobe Commc’ns

Corp. (In re Teleglobe Commc’ns Corp.), 304 B.R. 79, 84 (Bankr. D. Del. 2004) (holding

subtenant’s interest in property extinguished by debtor’s rejection of primary lease). To the best

of their knowledge, the Debtors are not party to any subleases with respect to the Rejected

Locations. However, the Debtors request, out of an abundance of caution, that the Court authorize

and confirm the rejection of any subleases and/or amendments that are related to the Rejected

Leases.

13. The Debtors further request that, consistent with the limitations imposed by

section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable law, if any of the Debtors have

deposited amounts with any of the counterparties to the Rejected Leases as a security deposit or

pursuant to another similar arrangement, or if any of the counterparties owe any of the Debtors

any amount pursuant to the Rejected Leases or other agreements between the same parties, the

counterparties shall not be permitted to set-off or otherwise use the amounts from such deposit or

other similar arrangement, or other amount owed to the Debtors, without the prior order of the

Court. See In re Sweet N Sour 7th Ave. Corp., 431 B.R. 63, 70-72 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2010)

(automatic stay prohibits landlord from exercising right to set off on debtor’s security deposit);

In re Communicall Cent., Inc., 106 B.R. 540, 545 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1989) (landlords are required

to move for relief from the automatic stay to exercise right of set off); In re Inslaw, Inc., 81 B.R.

169, 169-70 (Bankr. D.D.C. 1987) (landlord’s right to set off may be utilized only after relief from

stay is granted).

B. Nunc Pro Tunc Relief is Appropriate Under the Circumstances

14. To avoid paying any unnecessary administrative expenses related to the

Rejected Leases, the Debtors seek to reject the Rejected Leases effective nunc pro tunc to the

Petition Date. A court may permit such retroactive rejection to avoid unduly exposing a debtor’s

6 RLF1 24406143v.1 Case 20-13076-BLS Doc 108-1 Filed 12/09/20 Page 8 of 42

estate to unwarranted postpetition administrative or other expenses. See Thinking Machs. v. Mellon

Fin. Servs. Corp. (In re Thinking Machs. Corp.), 67 F.3d 1021, 1028 (1st Cir. 1995) (“In the section

365 context . . . bankruptcy courts may enter retroactive orders of approval, and should do so when

the balance of equities preponderates in favor of such remediation.”); In re DBSI, Inc., 409 B.R.

720, 734 n.4 (Bankr. D. Del. 2009) (“Under appropriate circumstances, [a] Court may enter a lease

rejection order with an effective date earlier than the date the order is entered.”); In re Chi-Chi’s,

Inc., 305 B.R. 396, 399 (Bankr. D. Del. 2004) (finding that “the court’s power to grant retroactive

relief is derived from the bankruptcy court’s equitable powers so long as it promotes the purposes

of §365(a)” and granting retroactive relief to the date on which the debtors surrendered the

premises to their landlords); In re Fleming Cos., Inc., 304 B.R. 85, 96 (Bankr. D. Del. 2003)

(noting retroactive rejection was permitted to the date of the motion or the date the premises was

surrendered).

15. When principles of equity so dictate, courts may permit retroactive rejection

to the date on which the counterparty to the lease was given definitive notice of the debtor’s intent

to reject. See In re KDA Grp., Inc., 574 B.R. 556, 560-61(Bankr. W.D. Pa. Sept. 20, 2017)

(“[M]any courts within the Third Circuit have adopted the notion that a lease may be retroactively rejected when principles of equity so dictate.”); In re Fleming Cos. Inc., 304 B.R. at 96 (“[T]o

grant nunc pro tunc rejection, the Debtors must have stated an unequivocal intent to reject the leases.”). Courts in this jurisdiction have previously considered the question of retroactive rejection of unexpired leases. See In re Namco Cybertainment, Inc., No. 98-00173 (PJW) (Bankr.

D. Del. Feb. 6, 1998). In Namco, the court permitted retroactive rejection on the conditions that

(a) the property (and the keys thereto) subject to a lease were surrendered with an unequivocal statement of abandonment to the landlord or lessor, (b) the motion was filed and served on the

7 RLF1 24406143v.1 Case 20-13076-BLS Doc 108-1 Filed 12/09/20 Page 9 of 42

landlord or lessor, (c) the official committee consented to the relief requested in the motion, and

(d) the debtor acknowledged that it would not have the right to withdraw the motion prior to the hearing.

16. Here, the balance of equities favors rejection of the Rejected Leases nunc

pro tunc to the Petition Date. Without such relief, the Debtors will potentially incur unnecessary

administrative expenses related to the Rejected Leases—agreements that provide no benefit to the

Debtors’ estates. The Debtors vacated and surrendered control of the Rejected Locations to the

applicable lease counterparties prior to the Petition Date. Further, the counterparties to the Rejected

Leases will not be unduly prejudiced if the rejection is deemed effective as of the Petition Date.

Contemporaneously with the filing of this motion, the Debtors will cause notice of this motion to

be served on the lease counterparties, thereby allowing each party sufficient opportunity to respond

accordingly. The Debtors have sought the relief requested at the earliest possible moment in these

chapter 11 cases and do not seek to reject the Rejected Leases effective nunc pro tunc to the

Petition Date due to any undue delay on their own part.

17. Courts in this District have approved relief similar to that requested herein.4

In light of the foregoing facts and circumstances, the Debtors respectfully submit that nunc pro tunc rejection of the Rejected Leases is supported by the equities of these chapter 11 cases, that rejection of the Rejected Leases is supported by their sound business judgment and that rejection is necessary, prudent, and in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates, creditors, and stakeholders.

4 See, e.g., BL Restrs. Holding, LLC, No. 20-10156 (MFW) (Bankr. D. Del. Feb. 28, 2020) (authorizing rejection of unexpired leases effective nunc pro tunc to the petition date); In re Quicksilver Res. Inc., No. 15-10585 (LSS) (Bankr. D. Del. Apr. 15, 2015) (authorizing rejection of executory contracts effective as of specified dates); In re QCE Fin. LLC, No. 14-10543 (PJW) (Bankr. D. Del. Apr. 9, 2014) (authorizing rejection of unexpired leases effective nunc pro tunc to the petition date); In re Longview Power, LLC, No. 13-12211 (BLS) (Bankr. D. Del. Feb. 26, 2014) (authorizing rejection of unexpired leases effective nunc pro tunc to prior notice date); In re Prommis Holdings, LLC, No. 13-10551 (BLS) (Bankr. D. Del. June 14, 2013) (same).

8 RLF1 24406143v.1 Case 20-13076-BLS Doc 108-1 Filed 12/09/20 Page 10 of 42

C. Abandonment of Personal Property Should be Approved

18. Section 554(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that “[a]fter notice and a

hearing, the trustee may abandon any property of the estate that is burdensome to the estate or that

is of inconsequential value and benefit to the estate.” 11 U.S.C. § 554(a); see also Hanover Ins.

Co. v. Tyco Indus., Inc., 500 F.2d 654, 657 (3d Cir. 1974) (“[A trustee] may abandon his claim to

any asset, including a cause of action, he deems less than valuable than the cost of asserting that

claim.”); In re Contract Research Solutions, Inc., No. 12-11004 (KJC), 2013 WL 1910286, at *4

(Bankr. D. Del. May 1, 2013) (“[A debtor] need only demonstrate that [it] has exercised sound

business judgment in making the determination to abandon.”) (citations omitted). The right to

abandon property is virtually unfettered, unless (a) abandonment of the property will contravene laws designed to protect public health and safety or (b) abandonment of the property poses an imminent threat to the public’s welfare. See In re Midlantic Nat’l Bank, 474 U.S. 494, 501 (1986).

Neither of these limitations is relevant under the facts and circumstances presented here.

19. Although the Debtors vacated the Rejected Locations before the Petition

Date and believe that they have removed all of their significant owned personal property assets

located at the Rejected Locations, a minimal amount of the Debtors’ personal property may

remain. To the extent that any Abandoned Property remains at the Rejected Locations, the Debtors submit that such property is inconsequential to their estates and/or removal or storage of such property exceeds its value and is burdensome to their estates. As a result, the Debtors have determined in their business judgment that abandonment of the Abandoned Property is necessary and in the best interests of the Debtors’ estates, creditors, and stakeholders. Therefore, to the extent that any Abandoned Property remains at the Rejected Locations, the Debtors seek authority to immediately abandon such assets.

20. Courts in this District and elsewhere have previously approved similar relief

9 RLF1 24406143v.1 Case 20-13076-BLS Doc 108-1 Filed 12/09/20 Page 11 of 42

in other chapter 11 cases involving retail debtors.5

D. Waiver of Bankruptcy Rule 6006(f)

21. Bankruptcy Rule 6006(f) establishes requirements for a motion to reject

multiple executory contracts or unexpired leases that are not between the same parties. Bankruptcy

Rule 6006(f) states, in part, that such a motion shall:

1) state in a conspicuous place that parties receiving the omnibus motion should locate their names and their contracts or leases listed in the motion;

2) list parties alphabetically and identify the corresponding contract or lease;

3) specify the terms, including the curing of defaults, for each requested assumption or assignment;

4) specify the terms, including the identity of each assignee and the adequate assurance of future performance by each assignee, for each requested assignment;

5) be numbered consecutively with other omnibus motions to assume, assign, or reject executory contracts or unexpired leases; and

6) be limited to no more than 100 executory contracts or unexpired leases.

22. By the motion, the Debtors have satisfied the applicable requirements of

Bankruptcy Rule 6006(f)(1)-(5), but exceed the numerosity requirement of Bankruptcy Rule

6006(f)(6). The motion seeks to reject approximately 137 Rejected Leases. The Debtors submit

that a waiver of the numerosity requirement of Bankruptcy Rule 6006(f)(6) is appropriate and

5 See, e.g., In re Sports Auth. Holdings, Inc., No. 16-10527 (MFW) (Bankr. D. Del. May 3, 2016) (authorizing the debtors to abandon any unremoved or unsold furniture, fixtures, and equipment at a closing store); In re Am. Apparel, Inc., No 15-12055 (BLS) (Bankr. D. Del. Nov. 20, 2015) (authorizing the debtors to dispose of or abandon property of their estates left in stores after the completion of store closing sales); In re RadioShack Corp., No. 15-10197 (KJC) (Bankr. D. Del. Feb. 20, 2015) (authorizing the debtors to abandon all unsold assets located at any of the closing stores); In re Great Atl. & Pac. Tea Co., Inc., No. 15-23007 (RDD) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Jan. 22, 2016) (authorizing the debtors to abandon furniture, fixtures, and equipment as of a retroactive rejection date); In re Metropark USA, Inc., No. 11-22866 (RDD) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. May 5, 2011) (authorizing the debtor to reject a lease and abandon certain furniture, fixtures, and equipment on the leased premises).

10 RLF1 24406143v.1 Case 20-13076-BLS Doc 108-1 Filed 12/09/20 Page 12 of 42

justified in this case. First, because the Debtors have already ceased operations at the Rejected

Locations, the Debtors have no use of any of the Rejected Leases, and must immediately reject the

Rejected Leases effective as of the Petition Date to prevent any accrual of administrative claims.

To the extent a waiver of Bankruptcy Rule 6006(f)(6) is not provided, the Debtors would

needlessly expend further resources simply to prepare and file additional omnibus rejection

motions. Second, the Debtors have already vacated each of the Rejected Locations in advance of

filing this motion. Finally, contemporaneously with the filing of this motion, the Debtors will cause notice of this motion to be served on the counterparties to the Rejected Leases, thereby allowing each party sufficient opportunity to respond accordingly. Accordingly, the Debtors do not anticipate any prejudice to counterparties to the Rejected Leases merely because the number of

Rejected Leases exceeds 100.

E. Interim Relief Is Necessary to Avoid Immediate and Irreparable Harm

23. Under Bankruptcy Rule 6003, the Court may grant a motion to “use . . . property of the estate, including a motion to pay all or part of a claim that arose before the filing of the petition” within 21 days after the chapter 11 case’s commencement to the extent “relief is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm.” Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6003. Here, the relief requested is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors and their estates, as

set forth in the Clarke Declaration, and relief on an interim basis is therefore appropriate under

Bankruptcy Rule 6003, if applicable.

24. The urgency of the relief requested justifies immediate relief.6 To ensure

the relief requested is implemented immediately, the Debtors request that the Court waive the
