Nos. 71, 122 LIMITED OBJECTION AND RESERVATION OF RIGHTS OF CONCUR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. TO THE DEBTOR S CURE NOTICE AND PROPOSED SUBSTANTIAL ASSET SALE Concur Technologies, Inc. ( Concur, by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby files this limited objection and reservation of rights (the Objection to the Notice to Counterparties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases That May Be Assumed and Assigned [D.I. 122] (the Cure Notice and the substantial asset sale motion [D.I. 71] (the Sale Motion filed by debtor Tintri, Inc. ( Tintri. In support of this Objection, Concur hereby states as follows: BACKGROUND 1. On June 4, 2018, Tintri filed the Sale Motion. Pursuant to the Sale Motion, Tintri seeks approval of certain sale procedures and approval of the sale of substantially all of its assets to the Stalking Horse Bidder identified in the Sale Motion or the highest bidder at auction. 2. As of the date of the filing of this Objection, the auction has not been held, and the identity of the purchaser remains unknown. 3.

2 Case KJC Doc 188 Filed 08/21/18 Page 2 of 4 4. The Cure Notice lists among those contracts that may be potentially assumed and assigned a Services Agreement with Concur Technologies, Inc. with a $0.00 cure amount Concur and Tintri are parties to a Business Services Agreement, which was entered into on or about April 30, That agreement and any and all related order forms, agreements, schedules, appendices, and amendments thereto are referred to herein as the BSA. 6. Pursuant to the BSA, Concur provides Tintri with certain software cloud services related to employee travel and expense reimbursement. 7. Currently, $13, is past due from Tintri to Concur for services arising under the Agreement. In addition, $1, will come due under Invoice on September 14, True and correct copies of the invoices evidencing such obligations are attached to this Objection as Exhibit A. LEGAL ARGUMENT THE BSA CANNOT BE ASSUMED AND ASSIGNED UNLESS IT IS IDENTIFIED WITH SUFFICIENT SPECIFICITY AND THE FULL CURE AMOUNT IS PAID. 8. The Cure Notice lists a single, undated Services Agreement with Concur. However, Concur and Tintri are parties to the Business Services Agreement, which is an integrated agreement that contains numerous order forms, addendums, etc. thereto. The BSA may be assumed and assigned only as a single, integrated document. See In re Exide Technologies, 340 B.R. 222, 228 (Bankr. D. Del Presuming that Tintri intends to assume and assign the entire BSA, as defined above, Concur nonetheless objects to assumption and assignment unless Tintri pays the full amount due. 2 However, Tintri included Concur on its Schedule E/F: Creditors Who Have Unsecured Claims with a debt of $11, that is neither contingent, unliquidated, nor disputed. See Schedules of Tintri [D.I. 169] at page B

3 Case KJC Doc 188 Filed 08/21/18 Page 3 of Pursuant to 365(b(1 of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor may assume and assign an executory contract only if the debtor cures, or provides adequate assurance that it will promptly cure, all monetary defaults, and provides adequate assurance of future performance. 20. A cure under 365(b(1 of the Bankruptcy Code means that all unpaid amounts due under the contract have been paid. See In re Network Access Solutions Corp., 330 B.R. 67, 76 (Bankr. D. Del. 2005; see also In re Superior Toy & Manufacturing Co., Inc., 78 F. 3d 1169 (7 th Cir ( [T]he language of 365(b(1 is unequivocal. A party to an executory contract must be paid all amounts due him under the contract before the contract may be assumed A debtor is also obligated to provide adequate assurance of future performance under such contract prior to assumption. 11 U.S.C. 365(b(1(C. 22. Concur objects to the Debtors purported $0.00 cure amount to assume and assign the BSA. As demonstrated by the past due invoices included in the attached as Exhibit A, the total amount due to cure Tintri s defaults under the BSA is currently $13, Therefore, the assumption and assignment of the BSA requires payment of $13, under section 365(b(1(A of the Bankruptcy Code. 23. In addition, $1, will come due shortly after the scheduled sale hearing. Tintri has not provided Concur adequate assurance that any debts incurred by Tintri that will not come due until after the sale hearing will be paid. 24. Concur reserves the right to supplement this Objection if it discovers any further amounts due and owing, including, but not limited to, accruing, unpaid post-petition obligations arising under the BSA. WHEREFORE, Concur respectfully requests that this Court deny assumption and assignment of the BSA absent payment of the $13, cure amount and assurance of payment 73B
