MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
Mary F. Walrath, United States Bankruptcy Judge
Before the Court are cross-motions for summary judgment on claims arising under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the ‘WARN Act”).2 The issue presented is whether Eclipse can invoke the “faltering company” *65or “unforeseeable business circumstances” exceptions to the WARN Act. The Court concludes that the unforeseeable business circumstances exception applies and, therefore, will grant the Trustee’s motion and deny the Plaintiffs’ motion.
