The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, the Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\nin the Services Agreement attached hereto as **Exhibit B** (the \"Services Agreement\"), including assuming full responsibility for the distribution of notices and the maintenance, processing and docketing of proofs of claim filed in these chapter 11 cases; and (ii) granting related relief. In support of the Application, the Movants submit the *Declaration of Kate Mailloux in Support of Application of Chapter 11 Trustee, Genever Holdings Corporation, and Genever Holdings LLC for Entry of Order (I) Approving Retention and Appointment of Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC as Claims and Noticing Agent, Effective as of December 1, 2022, and (II) Granting Related Relief* (the \"Mailloux Declaration\"), attached hereto as **Exhibit C** and incorporated herein by reference. In further support of this Application, the Movants respectfully state as follows.\n\n#### **JURISDICTION, VENUE, AND STATUTORY BASES**\n\n1. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Court\") has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the *Standing Order of Reference* from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (as amended). This is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).\n\n2. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n3. The bases for the relief requested herein are section 156(c) of title 28 of the Judicial Code and section 105(a) of title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\").\n\n#### **BACKGROUND**\n\n#### **I. The Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case**\n\n4. On February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), the Individual Debtor filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n5. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (\"Committee\") in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case. No examiner has been appointed in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case.\n\n6. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Docket No. 465] (the \"Trustee Order\") directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee.2\n\n7. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case [Docket No. 523].\n\n#### **II. Genever (BVI)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n8. On October 11, 2022 (the \"Genever (BVI) Petition Date\" and, together with the Genever (US) Petition Date and the Individual Debtor Petition Date, the \"Petition Dates\"), Genever (BVI) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in this Court.\n\n9. No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case.\n\n10. October 14, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case and Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case [Docket No. 970].\n\n<sup>2</sup> The references to docket numbers set forth in this Motion refer to the Chapter 11 Case docket unless otherwise indicated.\n\n#### **III. Genever (US)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n11. On October 12, 2020, Genever (US) filed its chapter 11 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the \"New York Bankruptcy Court\").\n\n12. No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever (US)'s chapter 11 case.\n\n13. On September 30, 2022, the Trustee and Genever (US) file their joint motion to transfer venue of Genever (US)'s chapter 11 case to this Court [Docket No. 211 in Case No. 20- 12411 (JLG)] (the \"Venue Transfer Motion\"). By order dated November 3, 2022, the New York Bankruptcy Court granted the Venue Transfer Motion.\n\n14. On November 21, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the chapter 11 cases of the Individual Debtor, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) [Docket No. 1141].\n\n#### **IV. Bar Date Motion**\n\n15. On November 16, 2022, the Court held a hearing (the \"Hearing\") on the *Supplemental Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee, Genever Holdings Corporation, and Genever Holdings LLC for Entry of an Order (I) Setting Bar Dates for Filing Proofs of Claim; (II) Approving Form of Notice of Bar Dates; and (III) Granting Related Relief* [Docket No. 1072] (the \"Supplemental Bar Date Motion\"). At the conclusion of the Hearing on the Supplemental Bar Date Motion, the Court granted the Supplemental Bar Date Motion with certain modification discussed by the Trustee on the record at the Hearing.3\n\n<sup>3</sup> On November 17, 2022, the Trustee submitted to the Court a revised proposed Bar Date Order, reflecting those modifications.\n\n16. On December 2, 2022, Movants filed an addendum to the Supplemental Bar Date Motion [Docket No. 1191] (the \"Addendum\") requesting, among other things, that the Court approve procedures to allow individual creditors to submit proofs of claim on a confidential basis without publicly disclosing their names and contact information.\n\n#### **EPIQ'S RETENTION**\n\n17. By this Application, the Movants request entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto, appointing Epiq as the Claims and Noticing Agent for the Debtors in accordance with the Services Agreement, effective as of December 1, 2022. As detailed in the Addendum, the Individual Debtor and his affiliated organization have engaged in numerous intimidation tactics, including targeting individuals and entities on social media and picketing the home of the Trustee and others, which has prompted the need for individual creditors to participate in the claims process on a confidential basis to keep their names and contact information from the public's view to avoid the potential risk of retaliation by the Individual Debtor or his affiliated entities.\n\n18. After conferring with the U.S. Trustee, the Trustee has determined that the most efficient and economical method of submitting proofs of claim on a confidential basis is through a claims and noticing agent. Without retention of a claims and noticing agent, each individual creditor would need to seek relief from the Court to have the personal information in their proof of claim sealed. Because this would impose an unnecessary administrative burden on the individual creditors, the Trustee, Genever (BVI), Genever (US), the Clerk, and the Court, the Movants believe the appointment of Epiq is appropriate and is otherwise in the best interests of the Debtors' estates, their creditors and stakeholders.\n\n19. Although the Services Agreement contemplates that Epiq will provide services for the Movants outside the scope of 28 U.S.C. § 156, the Movants will seek authorization by separate application to retain and employ Epiq as administrative advisor pursuant to section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code for those services.4\n\n#### **EPIQ'S QUALIFICATIONS**\n\n20. Epiq is comprised of leading industry professionals with significant experience in both the legal and administrative aspects of large, complex chapter 11 cases. Epiq's professionals have experience in noticing, claims administration, solicitation, balloting and facilitating other administrative aspects of chapter 11 cases and experience in matters of this size and complexity. Epiq's professionals have acted as official claims and noticing agent in many large bankruptcy cases in this District and in other districts nationwide.\n\n21. Epiq has substantial experience in matters of this size and complexity and has acted as the official notice and claims agent in many large bankruptcy cases pending in districts nationwide. *See, e.g.*, *In re The Norwich Roman Catholic Diocesan Corporation*, Case No. 21- 20687 (JJT) (Bankr.

This Application pertains only to the work to be performed by Epiq under the Clerk's delegation of duties permitted by 28 U.S.C. § 156(c). Any work to be performed by Epiq outside of this scope is not covered by this Application or by any order granting approval hereof.5\n\n<sup>5</sup> As noted, at this time, the Movants have not yet determined whether to request such additional services from Epiq.\n\n23. Subject to the Court's approval, at the request of the Movants, and to the extent\n\nnecessary, the Movants anticipate that Epiq will perform the following tasks in its role as Claims\n\nand Noticing Agent as well as all quality control relation thereto (collectively, the \"Claims and\n\nNoticing Services\"), all as further detailed in the Services Agreement:\n\n- a) maintain copies of all proofs of claim and proofs of interest filed (in hard copy and electronic form);\n- b) provide a secure on-line tool through which creditors can file proofs of claim and related documentation, eliminating costly manual intake, processing and data entry of paper claims and ensuring maximum efficiency in the claim-filing process;\n- c) create and maintain electronic databases for creditor/party in interest information provided by the debtor (e.g., creditor matrix and Schedules of Statements of Assets and Liabilities) and creditors/parties in interest (e.g., proof of claim/interests);\n- d) process all proof of claim/interest submitted;\n- e) provide access to the public for examination of copies of the proofs of claim or interest (subject to any confidentiality restrictions approved by this Court) without charge during regular business hours;\n- f) maintain official claims registers, including, among other things, the following information for each proof of claim or proof of interest (i) name and address of the claimant and any agent thereof, if the proof of claim or proof of interest was filed by an agent; (ii) date received; (iii) claim number assigned; and (iv) asserted amount and classification of the claim;\n- g) create and maintain a website with general case information, key documents, claim search function, and mirror of ECF case docket;\n- h) transmit to the Clerk's office a copy of the claims registers on a monthly basis, unless requested by the Clerk's office on a more or less frequent basis or, in the alternative, make available the claims register on-line;\n- i) implement necessary security measures to ensure the completeness and integrity of the claims registers;\n- j) record all transfers of claims pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e) and provide notice of such transfers as required by Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e);\n- k) maintain an up-to-date mailing list for all entities that have filed a proof of claim, proof of interest or notice of appearance, which list shall be available upon request of a party in interest or the Clerk's office;\n- l) prepare and serve notice of the claims bar date;\n- m) update claim database to reflect undeliverable or changed addresses;\n- n) provide such other claims processing, noticing and related administrative services as may be requested from time to time by the Movants;\n- o) promptly comply with such further conditions and requirements as the Court may at any time prescribe;\n- p) comply with applicable federal, state, municipal, and local statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and other requirements; and\n- q) provide temporary employees to the Clerk's Office to process claims, as necessary.\n\n#### **EPIQ'S COMPENSATION**\n\n24. The Movants respectfully request that the undisputed fees and expenses incurred by Epiq in the performance of the above services be treated as administrative expenses of the Debtors' chapter 11 estates pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 156(c) and section 503(b)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and be paid in the ordinary course of business without further application to or order of the Court.\n\n### 25. Importantly, Epiq has agreed to *defer collection of accrued fees and expenses*\n\n*while the Trustee marshals assets for the estate*. 6 Without this substantial concession, the\n\nTrustee would not be able to retain a claims and noticing agent at this time.\n\n26. Epiq also agrees to maintain records of all services showing dates, categories of services, fees charged and expenses incurred, and to serve monthly invoices on Genever (BVI),\n\n<sup>6</sup> Epiq will receive payment of all accrued fees and costs at the time assets are converted to funds on a *pari passu* basis with other retained professionals in the chapter 11 cases.\n\nGenever (US), the Trustee, the U.S. Trustee, counsel for Genever (US), counsel for Genever (BVI), counsel for the Trustee, counsel for the Committee, and any party in interest who specifically requests service of the monthly invoices. If any dispute arises relating to the Services Agreement or monthly invoices, the parties shall meet and confer in an attempt to resolve the dispute; if resolution is not achieved, the parties may seek resolution of the matter from the Court.\n\n27. Additionally, under the terms of the Services Agreement, the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Epiq and its members, officers, employees, representatives, and agents under certain circumstances specified in the Services Agreement, except in circumstances resulting solely from Epiq's gross negligence or willful misconduct or as otherwise provided in the Services Agreement or Proposed Order. The Movants believe that such an indemnification obligation is customary, reasonable and necessary to retain the services of a Claims and Noticing Agent in these chapter 11 cases. Any request for indemnification will be brought before this Court and shall be subject to the approval of the Court.\n\n#### **DISINTERESTED**\n\n28. Although the Movants do not propose to employ Epiq under section 327 of the Bankruptcy Code pursuant to this Application (such retention will be sought by separate application), Epiq has nonetheless reviewed its electronic database to determine whether it has any relationships with the creditors and parties in interest provided by the Movants. To the best of Movants' knowledge, information, and belief, and except as disclosed in the Mailloux Declaration, Epiq has represented that it neither holds nor represents any interest materially\n\nadverse to the Debtors, their creditors or other relevant parties, by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in, the Debtors, or for any other reason.\n\n29. Moreover, in connection with its retention as Claims and Noticing Agent, Epiq\n\nrepresents in the Mailloux Declaration, among other things, that:\n\n- (a) Epiq is not a creditor of the Debtors;\n- (b) Epiq will not consider itself employed by the United States government and shall not seek any compensation from the United States government in its capacity as the Claims and Noticing Agent in these chapter 11 cases;\n- (c) by accepting employment in these chapter 11 cases, Epiq waives any rights to receive compensation from the United States government in connection with these chapter 11 cases;\n- (d) in its capacity as the Claims and Noticing Agent in these chapter 11 cases, Epiq will not be an agent of the United States and will not act on behalf of the United States;\n- (e) Epiq will not employ any past or present employees of the Debtors in connection with its work as the Claims and Noticing Agent in these chapter 11 cases;\n- (f) in its capacity as Claims and Noticing Agent in these chapter 11 cases, Epiq will not intentionally misrepresent any fact to any person;\n- (g) Epiq shall be under the supervision and control of the Clerk's office with respect to the receipt and recordation of claims and claim transfers; and\n- (h) none of the services provided by Epiq as Claims and Noticing Agent in these chapter 11 cases shall be at the expense of the Clerk's office.\n- 30. Epiq will supplement its disclosure to the Court if any facts or circumstances are\n\ndiscovered that would require such additional disclosure.\n\n#### **BASIS FOR THE RELIEF**\n\n31. This Application is made pursuant to Judicial Code section 156(c), section 105(a)\n\nof the Bankruptcy Code, and Bankruptcy Rule 2002(f), for entry of an order appointing Epiq as\n\nthe Claims and Noticing Agent in order to assume full responsibility for the distribution of\n\nnotices and the maintenance, processing, and docketing of proofs of claim filed in these chapter\n\n11 cases.\n\n32. Judicial Code section 156, in relevant part, provides:\n\nAny court may utilize facilities or services, either on or off the court's premises, which pertain to the provision of notices, dockets, calendars, and other administrative information to parties in cases filed under the provisions of title 11, United States Code, where the costs of such facilities or services are paid for out of the assets of the estate and are not charged to the United States. The utilization of such facilities or services shall be subject to such conditions and limitations as the pertinent circuit council may prescribe.\n\n33. Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, in relevant part, provides:\n\nThe court may issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this title. No provision of this title providing for the raising of an issue by a party in interest shall be construed to preclude the court from, sua sponte, taking any action or making any determination necessary or appropriate to enforce or implement court orders or rules, or to prevent an abuse of process.\n\n34. The Movants believe the Debtors have hundreds of creditors, many of which are individuals who will seek to keep their name and contact information confidential in light of the Individual Debtor's intimidation scheme. If Epiq is not retained as claims and noticing agent, the individual creditors seeking to file confidential proofs of claim would have to file a motion requesting the Court approve redactions of certain personal information of the claimant. Not only would this impose an administrative burden on the individual creditors, the Debtors, the Clerk, and the Court, but it would also be uneconomical. The Movants believe that the appointment of Epiq as claims and noticing agent will result in a more efficient and cost effective claims process. For this reason, the Movants submit that the retention of Epiq as the Claims and Noticing Agent is both necessary and in the best interests of the Debtors' estates and creditors.\n\n#### **RETENTION EFFECTIVE AS OF DECEMBER 1, 2022 IS APPROPRIATE**\n\n35. Local Bankruptcy Rule 2014-1 provides that if \"an application to employ a professional is filed within thirty (30) days after the commencement of services provided by that professional, the application shall be deemed contemporaneously filed unless the Court orders otherwise.\" Accordingly, the Movants request authority to retain and employ Epiq effective December 1, 2022, which was the date that Epiq began providing services to the Movants.\n\n#### **NOTICE**\n\n36. Notice of this Motion has been given to the United States Trustee, the Debtor, the Committee, and, by electronic filing utilizing the Court's electronic filing (\"CM/ECF\") system, to all appearing parties who utilize the CM/ECF system.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Movants requests that the Court enter an\n\nOrder, substantially in the form of the Proposed Order filed herewith, granting the Application,\n\nand authorizing the employment of Epiq as claims and noticing agent, and order such other and\n\nfurther relief as the Court deems just and proper.\n\nDated: December 5, 2022 New Haven, Connecticut\n\nBy: /s/ Douglas S.

I am a Senior Director of Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC (\"Epiq\"). The\n\nmatters set forth herein are made of my own personal knowledge and, if called and sworn as a\n\nwitness, I could and would testify competently thereto.2\n\n2. This Declaration is made in support of the Movants' application (the \"Application\")3\n\nfor an order pursuant to section 156(c) of title 28 of the United States Code, sections 503(b)(1)(A)\n\nand 105(a) of title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\"), authorizing the\n\nemployment and retention of Epiq as claims and noticing agent (\"Claims and Noticing Agent\") to\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, the Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\n<sup>2</sup> Certain of the disclosures herein relate to matters within the knowledge of other professionals at Epiq and are based on information provided by them.\n\n<sup>3</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Application.\n\nthe Debtors as of December 1, 2022 in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Standard Services Agreement dated as of December 1, 2022, by and between Epiq and the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) (the \"Services Agreement\"). A proposed form of order granting the relief requested in the Application (the \"Proposed Order\") is annexed thereto as **Exhibit A**. The Services Agreement is annexed to the Application as **Exhibit B**.\n\n3. As agent and custodian of Court records pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 156(c), Epiq will perform, at the request of the Office of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court (the \"Clerk\" and the \"Clerk's Office\"), the noticing- and claims-related services specified in the Application and the Services Agreement. In addition, at the Debtor's request, Epiq will perform such other noticing, claims, administrative, technical, and support services specified in the Application and the Services Agreement.\n\n4. Epiq is one of the country's leading chapter 11 administrators, with experience in noticing, claims administration, solicitation, balloting, and facilitating other administrative aspects of chapter 11 cases. Epiq has substantial experience in matters of this size and complexity and has acted as the official notice and claims agent in many large bankruptcy cases pending in this District and other districts nationwide. *See, e.g.*, *In re The Norwich Roman Catholic Diocesan Corporation*, Case No. 21-20687 (JJT) (Bankr.

Epiq is not a creditor of the Debtor;\n\t- b. Epiq will not consider itself employed by the United States government and shall not seek any compensation from the United States government in its capacity as Claims and Noticing Agent in this Chapter 11 case;\n\t- c. By accepting employment in this Chapter 11 case, Epiq waives any rights to receive compensation from the United States government in connection with the Debtor's Chapter 11 case;\n- d. In its capacity as Claims and Noticing Agent in this Chapter 11 case, Epiq will not be an agent of the United States and will not act on behalf of the United States;\n- e. Epiq shall not employ any past or present employee of the Debtor in connection with its work as Claims and Noticing Agent in this Chapter 11 case;\n- f. In its capacity as Claims and Noticing Agent, Epiq will not intentionally misrepresent any fact to any person;\n- g. Epiq shall be under the supervision and control of the Clerk's Office with respect to the receipt and recordation of claims and claim transfers;\n- h. None of the services provided by Epiq as Claims and Noticing Agent in this Chapter 11 case shall be at the expense of the Clerk's Office.\n\n6. To the best of my knowledge, and based solely upon information provided to me by the Movants, and except as provided herein, neither Epiq, nor any employee thereof, has any materially adverse connection to the Debtors, its creditors, or other relevant parties. Epiq may have relationships with certain of the Debtors' creditors as vendors or in connection with cases in which Epiq serves or has served in a neutral capacity as noticing, claims, and balloting agent for another chapter 11 debtor. Given Epiq's neutral position as the claims and noticing agent in the Debtors' case, or any other cases, Epiq does not view such relationships as real or potential conflicts.\n\n7. Epiq conducted a review, completed under my supervision, of the identified potential parties in interest (the \"Potential Parties in Interest\") in these chapter 11 cases based on a query of an internal client database containing names of individuals and entities that are present or recent clients of Epiq. The list of Potential Parties in Interest was provided by the Movants and is annexed hereto as Schedule 1. To the extent that Epiq's conflicts check has revealed that certain Potential Parties in Interest were connected to Epiq, these parties have been identified on a list annexed hereto as Schedule 2 (the \"Client Match List\"). To the best of my knowledge, any such\n\nconnections between Epiq and any parties on the Client Match List is completely unrelated to the Debtors.\n\n8. In addition, Epiq personnel may have relationships with some of the Debtors' creditors or other parties in interest. However, to the best of my knowledge, such relationships, to the extent they exist, are of a personal nature and completely unrelated to these chapter 11 cases. Epiq has and will continue to represent clients in matters unrelated to these chapter 11 cases. In addition, Epiq has had and will continue to have relationships in the ordinary course of its business with certain vendors, professionals, and other parties in interest that may be involved in the Debtors' cases in matters unrelated to these cases. Epiq may also provide professional services to entities or persons that may be creditors or parties in interest in these chapter 11 cases, which services do not directly relate to, or have any direct connection with, these chapter 11 cases of the Debtors. To the best of my knowledge, neither Epiq, nor any employees thereof, represent any interest materially adverse to the Debtors' estate with respect to any matter upon which Epiq is to be engaged. Based on the foregoing, I believe that Epiq is a \"disinterested person\" as that term is defined in section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n9. Epiq shares a corporate parent with certain companies that provide integrated technology products and services to the legal profession for electronic discovery, class action settlements, financial transactions, chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy, litigation, and regulatory compliance. Given the legal and operational separateness of Epiq from its affiliates and the administrative nature of the services performed by such companies, Epiq does not believe that a conflict would arise solely from any relationship or claim of an Epiq affiliate or its corporate parent.\n\n10. Should Epiq discover any new relevant facts or relationships bearing on the matters described herein during the period of its retention, Epiq will use reasonable efforts to promptly file a supplemental affidavit.\n\n11. In performing the services of Claims and Noticing Agent, Epiq will charge the Debtor the rates set forth in the Services Agreement.\n\n12. Epiq will comply with all requests of the Clerk's Office and the guidelines promulgated by the Judicial Conference of the United States for the implementation of 28 U.S.C. § 156(c).\n\n13. Epiq was party to an agreement with Xclaim Inc. (\"Xclaim\"). As of September 9, 2022, Epiq has terminated its agreement with Xclaim. Neither Epiq nor its affiliates are party to any agreements where it/they receive(s) consideration in exchange for transferring information derived from its role as a claims agent under 28 U.S.C. § 156(c) to non-client third parties beyond the disclosed prior agreement with Xclaim.\n\n14. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my information, knowledge, and belief.\n\nDated: December 5, 2022\n\n */s/ Kate Mailloux*  Kate Mailloux Senior Director Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC\n\n### **SCHEDULE 1**\n\n**Potential Parties in Interest**\n\n#### **SCHEDULE OF PARTIES IN INTEREST**\n\n#### **20 LARGEST UNSECURED CREDITORS**\n\nPACIFIC ALLIANCE ASIA OPPORTUNITY GOLDEN SPRING NEW YORK RUI MA CHENG JIAN WU JIAN SHE NING YE GUO BAOSHENG YAN LAN & WU ZHENG HONG QI QU NAN TONG SI JIAN JIAN GONG YAN ZHAO YUA HUA ZHUANG SHI LIEHONG ZHUANG/XIAO YAN ZHU WEICAN MENG/BOXUN INC.

Despins，作为Ho Wan Kwok财产的受托人（仅限于通知和通信之目的）。\n\n管辖权、审判地及法定依据\n\n1. United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格州联邦地区美国破产法院）（“本法院”）根据28 U.S.C. §§ 157和1334以及United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格州联邦地区美国地区法院）的移送常设命令（经修订），对本事项具有管辖权。本事项属于28 U.S.C. § 157(b)所称的核心程序。\n\n2. 根据28 U.S.C. §§ 1408和1409，本地区为适当审判地。\n\n3. 本文所请求救济的依据为《司法法典》第28编第156(c)条及《美国法典》第11编（“破产法典”）第105(a)条。\n\n背景\n\nI. 个人债务人的第11章案件\n\n4. 2022年2月15日（“申请日”），个人债务人向本法院提交了根据《破产法典》第11章请求救济的自愿申请。\n\n5. 2022年3月21日，United States Trustee（美国受托人）在个人债务人的第11章案件中指定了一个Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors（无担保债权人正式委员会）（“委员会”）。个人债务人的第11章案件中尚未指定审查员。\n\n6. 2022年6月15日，本法院作出决定备忘录及命令[Docket No. 465]（“受托人命令”），指示美国受托人在该第11章案件中指定一名第11章受托人。根据受托人命令，美国受托人选定Luc A. Despins担任受托人。2\n\n7. 2022年7月8日，本法院作出命令，批准指定Luc A. Despins担任该第11章案件中的受托人[Docket No. 523]。\n\nII. Genever (BVI)的第11章案件\n\n8. 2022年10月11日（“Genever (BVI)申请日”，并与Genever (US)申请日及个人债务人申请日合称“申请日”），Genever (BVI)向本法院提交了根据《破产法典》第11章请求救济的自愿申请。\n\n9. Genever (BVI)的第11章案件中尚未指定受托人或无担保债权人正式委员会。\n\n10. 2022年10月14日，本法院作出命令，批准对个人债务人的第11章案件及Genever (BVI)的第11章案件进行合并管理[Docket No. 970]。\n\n2 本动议中所载案卷编号，除非另有说明，均指该第11章案件的案卷编号。\n\nIII. Genever (US)的第11章案件\n\n11. 2020年10月12日，Genever (US)在United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York（纽约南区美国破产法院）（“纽约破产法院”）提交了其第11章申请。\n\n12. Genever (US)的第11章案件中尚未指定受托人或无担保债权人正式委员会。\n\n13. 2022年9月30日，受托人与Genever (US)提交了将Genever (US)的第11章案件审判地移送至本法院的联合动议[Case No. 20-12411 (JLG)中的Docket No. 211]（“审判地移送动议”）。纽约破产法院通过日期为2022年11月3日的命令，批准了审判地移送动议。\n\n14. 2022年11月21日，本法院作出命令，批准对个人债务人、Genever (BVI)及Genever (US)的第11章案件进行合并管理[Docket No. 1141]。\n\nIV. 申报截止日期动议\n\n15. 2022年11月16日，本法院就《第11章受托人、Genever Holdings Corporation及Genever Holdings LLC关于申请作出命令：（I）确定提交债权证明的申报截止日期；（II）批准申报截止日期通知的格式；以及（III）给予相关救济的补充动议》[Docket No. 1072]（“申报截止日期补充动议”）举行听证会（“听证会”）。在就申报截止日期补充动议举行的听证会结束时，本法院批准了申报截止日期补充动议，并作出受托人在听证会上记录中讨论的若干修改。3\n\n3 2022年11月17日，受托人向本法院提交了一份经修订的拟议申报截止日期命令，反映该等修改。\n\n16. 2022年12月2日，动议申请人就申报截止日期补充动议提交了一份补充文件[Docket No. 1191]（“补充文件”），请求本法院批准相关程序，以允许个人债权人在不公开披露其姓名及联系信息的情况下，以保密方式提交债权证明等。\n\nEPIQ的聘任\n\n17. 通过本申请，动议申请人请求作出一项命令，其形式实质上如本申请所附，按照服务协议指定Epiq自2022年12月1日起担任债务人的债权申报及通知代理人。如补充文件所详述，个人债务人及其关联组织已采取多种恐吓手段，包括在社交媒体上针对个人及实体，以及在受托人和其他人员住所外进行纠察，这促使有必要让个人债权人以保密方式参与债权申报程序，以使其姓名及联系信息不为公众所知，从而避免个人债务人或其关联实体可能进行报复的风险。\n\n18. 在与U.S. Trustee（美国受托人）协商后，受托人已确定，以保密方式提交债权证明的最有效率且最经济的方法是通过债权申报及通知代理人。如不聘任债权申报及通知代理人，每名个人债权人均须向本法院请求救济，以将其债权证明中的个人信息密封。由于这将给个人债权人、受托人、Genever (BVI)、Genever (US)、书记官及本法院造成不必要的行政负担，动议申请人认为指定Epiq是适当的，并且符合债务人财产、其债权人及利益相关方的最佳利益。\n\n19. 尽管服务协议设想Epiq将为动议申请人提供28 U.S.C. § 156范围以外的服务，动议申请人将根据《破产法典》第327(a)条另行申请授权，就该等服务聘任Epiq担任行政顾问。4\n\nEPIQ的资格\n\n20. Epiq由业内领先专业人士组成，在大型、复杂第11章案件的法律及行政方面均具有丰富经验。Epiq的专业人士在通知、债权管理、征求意见、表决及协助处理第11章案件其他行政事项方面，以及在此等规模和复杂程度的事项方面，均具有经验。Epiq的专业人士曾在本地区及全国其他地区的众多大型破产案件中担任正式债权申报及通知代理人。\n\n21. Epiq在此等规模和复杂程度的事项中具有丰富经验，并曾在全国各地区审理中的众多大型破产案件中担任正式通知及债权代理人。例如，In re The Norwich Roman Catholic Diocesan Corporation, Case No. 21-20687 (JJT) (Bankr. D. CT.

Epiq 还同意保存所有服务的记录，显示日期、服务类别、收取的费用及发生的开支，并每月向 Genever (BVI)、Genever (US)、受托人、美国受托人、Genever (US) 的律师、Genever (BVI) 的律师、受托人的律师、委员会的律师，以及任何明确要求送达月度发票的利害关系方送达月度发票。如就《服务协议》或月度发票产生任何争议，各方应会面协商以尝试解决争议；如未能解决，各方可向法院寻求对该事项的裁决。\n\n6 在资产变现为资金时，Epiq 将与第 11 章案件中其他受聘专业人士按同等比例获得所有已累计费用和成本的支付。\n\n27. 此外，根据《服务协议》的条款，受托人、Genever (BVI) 和 Genever (US) 已同意在《服务协议》规定的特定情形下，对 Epiq 及其成员、高级职员、雇员、代表和代理人予以赔偿、抗辩并使其免受损害，但仅因 Epiq 的重大过失或故意不当行为所致的情形，或《服务协议》或拟议命令另有规定的情形除外。动议申请人认为，该等赔偿义务属惯例、合理，并且是为在本第 11 章案件中聘用债权申报及通知代理人服务所必需的。任何赔偿请求均应提交本法院，并须经法院批准。\n\n无利害关系\n\n28. 虽然动议申请人并未根据本申请提议依据《破产法典》第 327 条聘用 Epiq（该等聘用将通过单独申请提出），Epiq 仍已审查其电子数据库，以确定其是否与动议申请人提供的债权人及利害关系方存在任何关系。据动议申请人所知、所获信息及所信，且除 Mailloux 声明中所披露者外，Epiq 表示，其并不因与债务人的任何直接或间接关系、联系或权益，或因任何其他原因，而持有或代表任何对债务人、其债权人或其他相关方具有重大不利影响的权益。\n\n29. 此外，就其受聘担任债权申报及通知代理人而言，Epiq 在 Mailloux 声明中表示，其中包括：\n\n- (a) Epiq 不是债务人的债权人；\n- (b) Epiq 不会将自己视为受美国政府雇用，且不会以其在本第 11 章案件中担任债权申报及通知代理人的身份向美国政府寻求任何报酬；\n- (c) 通过接受在本第 11 章案件中的聘用，Epiq 放弃获得与本第 11 章案件相关的美国政府报酬的任何权利；\n- (d) Epiq 以其在本第 11 章案件中担任债权申报及通知代理人的身份，不会成为美国的代理人，亦不会代表美国行事；\n- (e) Epiq 不会就其在本第 11 章案件中担任债权申报及通知代理人的工作雇用债务人的任何现任或前任雇员；\n- (f) Epiq 以其在本第 11 章案件中担任债权申报及通知代理人的身份，不会故意向任何人虚假陈述任何事实；\n- (g) 就接收及记录债权申报和债权转让而言，Epiq 应受书记官办公室的监督和控制；以及\n- (h) Epiq 作为本第 11 章案件中的债权申报及通知代理人所提供的任何服务，均不得由书记官办公室承担费用。\n\n30. 如发现任何需要作出该等额外披露的事实或情形，Epiq 将向法院补充其披露。\n\n救济依据\n\n31. 本申请依据《司法法典》第 156(c) 条、《破产法典》第 105(a) 条及《破产规则》2002(f) 提出，请求作出一项命令，指定 Epiq 为债权申报及通知代理人，以全面负责本第 11 章案件中通知的发送，以及已提交债权证明的维护、处理和登记入案。\n\n32. 《司法法典》第 156 条相关部分规定：\n\n任何法院均可利用位于法院场所内或外的设施或服务，该等设施或服务涉及向依据《美国法典》第 11 编规定提交案件的当事人提供通知、案卷记录、日程安排及其他行政信息，前提是该等设施或服务的成本从破产财产资产中支付，且不向美国收费。该等设施或服务的利用应受相关巡回区司法委员会可能规定的条件和限制约束。\n\n33. 《破产法典》第 105 条相关部分规定：\n\n法院可以作出为执行本编规定所必需或适当的任何命令、程序或判决。本编中规定由利害关系方提出某一事项的任何条款，不得解释为禁止法院依职权采取为执行或落实法院命令或规则所必需或适当的任何行动，或作出任何裁定，或防止程序滥用。\n\n34. 动议申请人认为，债务人有数百名债权人，其中许多为个人；鉴于个人债务人的恐吓计划，该等个人将寻求对其姓名和联系信息予以保密。如不聘用 Epiq 作为债权申报及通知代理人，寻求提交保密债权证明的个人债权人将不得不提出动议，请求法院批准对申报人的某些个人信息进行遮盖。此举不仅会给个人债权人、债务人、书记官及法院造成行政负担，而且不具经济效益。动议申请人认为，指定 Epiq 为债权申报及通知代理人将带来更高效且更具成本效益的债权申报程序。因此，动议申请人主张，聘用 Epiq 担任债权申报及通知代理人既属必要，也符合债务人破产财产及债权人的最大利益。\n\n自 2022 年 12 月 1 日起生效的聘用属适当\n\n35. 地方法院破产规则 2014-1 规定，如“聘用专业人士的申请在该专业人士开始提供服务后三十（30）日内提交，则该申请应视为同时提交，除非法院另有命令。”因此，动议申请人请求授权自 2022 年 12 月 1 日起聘用并雇用 Epiq，该日为 Epiq 开始向动议申请人提供服务之日。\n\n通知\n\n36. 本动议的通知已送达美国受托人、债务人、委员会，并已通过使用法院电子提交（“CM/ECF”）系统进行电子提交的方式，送达所有使用 CM/ECF 系统并已出庭的当事人。\n\n[本页其余部分特意留白。]\n\n因此，基于上述理由，动议申请人请求法院作出一项命令，其形式大致如随附提交的拟议命令所示，准许本申请，并授权聘用 Epiq 担任债权申报及通知代理人，以及作出法院认为公正和适当的其他及进一步救济。\n\n日期：December 5, 2022　New Haven, Connecticut\n\n签署人：/s/ Douglas S.

Epiq 应担任法院记录保管人，并应被指定为在该等第11章案件中提交的所有债权证明的授权存放机构；兹授权并指示其为每一债务人保存一份债权申报登记册，向公众提供查阅每一份债权证明的途径，并应书记官请求向书记官提供经认证的副本（均受制于并遵循法院批准的任何保密限制）。\n\n5. 授权并指示 Epiq 提供用于提交债权证明的电子界面，并取得用于接收债权证明的邮政信箱或地址。\n\n6. 授权 Epiq 采取遵守申请中列明的所有职责所需的其他行动。\n\n7. 授权受托人、Genever (BVI) 和 Genever (US) 依照服务协议的条款，就债权申报及通知服务向 Epiq 支付报酬。\n\n8. Epiq 应保存所有服务的记录，显示日期、服务类别、收取的费用及发生的开支，并应将月度发票送达 Genever (BVI)、Genever (US)、受托人、美国受托人办公室、Genever (BVI) 的代理律师、Genever (US) 的代理律师、受托人的代理律师、任何正式委员会的代理律师（如有）、监督债务人开支者，以及任何特别要求送达月度发票的利害关系方。\n\n9. 各方应会面并协商，以尝试解决可能因服务协议或月度发票而产生的任何争议；但如未能解决，各方可请求本院解决该事项。\n\n10. 根据《破产法》第 503(b)(1)(A) 条，Epiq 根据本裁定产生的费用和开支应构成债务人财产的行政费用。\n\n11. 受托人、Genever (BVI) 和 Genever (US) 应依照服务协议的条款（经本裁定修改），就服务协议所定义的 Epiq 及其他受偿方予以赔偿。\n\n12. 除非该等服务及其相关赔偿、分担或补偿获得本院批准，否则受偿方无权根据服务协议，就服务协议项下规定的债权申报及通知服务以外的服务获得赔偿、分担或补偿。\n\n13. 尽管服务协议中有任何相反规定，受托人、Genever (BVI) 和 Genever (US) 均无义务就任何以下索赔或开支向 Epiq 予以赔偿，或向 Epiq 提供分担或补偿：（i）经司法裁定（该裁定已成为终局裁定）系因 Epiq 的重大过失、故意不当行为或欺诈而产生；或（ii）在作出司法裁定之前已和解，但经本院在通知及听证后认定为，根据经本裁定修改的服务协议条款，Epiq 不应就该索赔或开支获得赔偿、分担或补偿。\n\n14. 如在以下两者中较早发生者之前：（i）在该等第11章案件中作出确认第11章计划的裁定（该裁定已成为不再可上诉的终局裁定），或（ii）作出关闭该等第11章案件的裁定，Epiq 认为其有权因受托人、Genever (BVI) 和 Genever (US) 在服务协议项下（经本裁定修改）的赔偿、分担及／或补偿义务而获得任何款项，包括但不限于预付抗辩费用，则 Epiq 必须就此向本院提交申请，且受托人、Genever (BVI) 和 Genever (US) 不得在本院作出批准付款的裁定之前向 Epiq 支付任何该等款项。\n\n本段仅旨在明确本院对 Epiq 就赔偿、分担或补偿提出的任何费用和开支请求具有管辖权的期间，而非限制受托人、Genever (BVI) 和 Genever (US) 对 Epiq 负有赔偿义务的期限。所有利害关系方均保留对 Epiq 提出的任何赔偿、分担或补偿要求提出异议的权利。\n\n15. 如 Epiq 无法提供本裁定批准的债权申报及通知服务，Epiq 将立即通知书记官和申请方的代理律师，并在获得本院批准后，在书记官和申请方代理律师的建议及同意下，促使将所有债权证明原件和计算机信息移交给另一债权申报及通知代理人。\n\n16. 债务人可根据 11 U.S.C. § 327 及／或任何适用法律，就将由 Epiq 履行但未获本裁定特别授权的工作提交单独的聘用申请。\n\n17. 授权申请方和 Epiq 按照申请采取一切必要行动，以落实根据本裁定准予的救济。\n\n18. 在该等第11章案件期间，Epiq 不得以任何理由，包括未获付款，停止提供债权处理服务，除非经本院裁定。\n\n19. 如任何该等第11章案件被转换为《破产法》第7章案件，则获委任处理该案件或该等案件的第7章受托人无义务为任何目的继续聘用 Epiq。\n\n20. 如服务协议、申请与本裁定之间存在任何不一致，应以本裁定的条款为准。\n\n21. 授权申请方和 Epiq 按照申请及服务协议采取一切必要行动，以落实根据本裁定准予的救济。\n\n22. 尽管服务协议中有任何相反条款，本院对因执行、解释及实施本裁定而产生或与之相关的一切事项保留专属管辖权。\n\n案件 22-50073　文书 1198　提交日期 12/05/22　录入日期 12/05/22 18:24:40　第 23 页，共 54 页\n\n附件 B\n\n服务协议\n\nEPIQ CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING\n标准服务协议\n\n本标准服务协议由以下签署方于下述定义的生效日期订立，以下将各方称为“Epiq”和“客户”。鉴于本协议所载前提及其他良好且有价值的对价，兹确认已收到该等对价且其充分性获认可，双方同意如下：\n\n一般条款和条件\n\n1. 服务。\n\n根据本协议及其所附附表（统称“本协议”）中载明的费用、条款和条件，Epiq同意就公司重组事宜向客户提供本协议所附服务附表中列明的服务（以下简称“服务”）。服务将根据需要并应客户请求或经客户同意提供。服务费用将以向客户提供的定价表（以下简称“定价表”）为依据。定价表列明Epiq所提供各项服务的单项定价，并构成对该项服务的真实有效报价。客户可请求定价表所列的单项服务或全部服务。\n\n2. 期限。\n\n本协议自Epiq与客户双方接受之日起生效。本协议应持续有效，直至以下方式终止：(a) 客户提前三十（30）日向Epiq发出书面通知终止；并且，如Epiq系依据破产法院命令受聘，则在破产法院作出解除Epiq职务的命令后终止；或(b) Epiq提前九十（90）日向客户发出书面通知终止。\n\n3. 费用。\n\n3.1 对于Epiq根据本协议提供的服务和材料，客户应支付定价表中列明的费用、收费和成本，并适用任何先前约定的折扣（如适用）。Epiq将按月向客户开具账单。所有发票应于收讫时到期应付；但是，Epiq已同意，在客户为破产财产归集资产期间，延期收取已累计的费用和成本。客户同意，在资产被转换为资金时，按照与本事项中所有其他受聘专业人士相同比例的基础，向Epiq支付已累计的费用和成本。\n\n3.2 Epiq保留自2024年1月2日起按年度对定价表中列明的单价、收费和专业服务费率作出合理上调的权利。如该等年度上调较上一年度水平超过10%，Epiq应就该等拟议上调提前六十（60）日向客户发出书面通知。\n\n3.3 客户同意向Epiq支付履行本协议项下服务所需的全部材料费用（计算机硬件和软件除外）以及任何合理的实付费用，包括但不限于交通、长途通信、印刷、复印、传真、邮资及相关项目。\n\n3.4 客户应支付或偿还适用于本协议项下所履行服务的一切税款，特别是基于代表客户作出的支出而征收的税款，无论该等税款如何命名、征收或计征。本条款旨在包括销售税、使用税和消费税等税种，但并非旨在包括个人财产税或基于Epiq净收入征收的税款。\n\n3.5 客户应向Epiq支付与任何客户错误或遗漏有关、因其引起或由其导致的任何实际收费（包括定价表中列明的费用、成本和支出）。该等收费可包括但不限于按定价表所列费率计费的印刷或复印重做、用品、长途电话费、差旅费和加班费。\n\n3.6 如根据本协议第2条终止，客户应承担本协议项下当时已累计和/或到期应付Epiq的所有款项。\n\n4. 保密。\n\n客户在本协议期限内就服务向Epiq提供的客户数据（以下简称“客户数据”），应由Epiq以其保护与自身业务有关数据的相同方式和相同程度予以保密；但是，如客户数据已公开可得、已由Epiq持有或知悉、依法必须披露、由Epiq在未使用或参考任何客户数据的情况下独立开发，或由Epiq从第三方合法取得，则Epiq对该等数据的公开披露不承担任何责任。客户同意，Epiq不应对因未经授权获取或使用任何客户数据或客户为履行本协议而向Epiq提供的其他客户材料所产生的任何性质的损害或损失负责。\n\n5. 财产所有权。\n\nEpiq保留对其为自身或供客户使用而提供或开发的所有材料、概念、创作、发明、作品、改进、设计、创新、构想、发现、专有技术、技术、程序、系统及其他信息的一切财产权利，包括但不限于数据处理程序、规格说明、应用程序、流程、例程、子例程、程序手册和文件（统称“财产”）。客户支付的费用并不使客户取得对财产的任何权利，双方明确理解，财产仅根据本协议提供给客户，供客户在每次使用Epiq设备和服务期间及与该等使用有关时使用。客户同意不复制或允许他人复制任何财产。\n\n6. 数据处置。\n\n6.1 客户应对其向Epiq提供或授予Epiq访问权限的程序和客户数据的准确性，以及由该等数据产生的输出结果负责。客户应建立并维护备份文件，以使客户能够重新生成或复制其向Epiq提供或授予Epiq访问权限的所有程序和客户数据。客户同意、声明并保证，在向Epiq交付任何客户数据之前，其拥有向Epiq交付客户数据的充分授权。客户同意、声明并保证，其已从所有必要人士、主管机关或个人取得具有约束力的同意、许可、执照和批准，并已遵守客户为允许Epiq在提供服务时使用交付给其的全部客户数据而须遵守的所有适用政策、法规和法律。对于Epiq收到客户数据之前与客户数据有关的任何责任或义务，包括但不限于在向Epiq交付客户数据期间产生的任何责任，Epiq不承担责任，客户承担全部责任。\n\n6.2 客户就本协议向Epiq提供的任何客户数据、程序、存储介质或其他材料（统称“客户材料”），Epiq可予保留，直至根据本协议提供的服务获得全额支付，或直至本协议终止且本协议项下提供的服务已获全额支付。因Epiq保管任何客户材料而根据本协议发生的一切实付费用，客户仍应承担责任。Epiq应按客户要求的方式处置客户材料（法律禁止处置的范围除外）。客户同意支付Epiq因处置客户材料而发生的合理费用。如本协议终止而客户未就返还或处置客户材料作出指示，或客户在至少九十（90）日期间未支付应付Epiq的全部费用，Epiq保留处置任何客户材料的权利；但是，Epiq应就其拟处置该等数据和介质的意图，提前三十（30）日向客户发出书面通知。\n\n7. 赔偿。\n\n客户应就任何及一切损失、索赔、损害、责任、成本（包括但不限于准备费用和律师费）及已发生的支出（统称“损失”），赔偿、抗辩并使Epiq、其关联方、母公司及各该实体的高级管理人员、成员、董事、代理人、代表、经理、顾问和雇员（各称“被赔偿方”）免受损害；任何被赔偿方可能因本协议或Epiq根据本协议提供服务而以任何身份受到该等损失的约束或牵涉其中，无论任何该等被赔偿方是否为其中一方，但仅因Epiq重大过失或故意不当行为导致的损失除外。在不限制前述一般性的情况下，“损失”包括因第三方对任何被赔偿方提出索赔而产生的任何责任。客户和Epiq应在获悉有关Epiq根据本协议提供服务的任何索赔、诉讼或程序已开始、提起、被威胁或提出后，立即以书面通知对方。无论客户或代表客户进行何种调查，该等赔偿均应继续完全有效，并应在本协议终止后持续有效，直至有关Epiq责任的所有适用诉讼时效届满。\n\n8. 责任限制\n\n尽管本协议有任何相反约定，本条应具有优先效力。\n\n(a) 各方及其各自代理人均不对另一方或任何第三方承担任何义务或责任（无论基于侵权、衡平法、合同、保证或其他事由，且无论是否存在根据适用法律、规则或法规的任何过错、过失、产品责任或严格责任），包括但不限于因本协议、服务或软件的任何使用、无法使用或使用结果，或其他原因而产生的任何间接性、一般性、惩罚性、附带性、特殊性或后果性损害，包括但不限于客户或任何其他人士遭受的业务中断、工资损失、业务或利润损失或数据丢失，即使该方已被告知可能发生该等损害。\n\n(b) 对于因不可抗力事件导致或与之有关的任何性质的损失，EPIQ不对客户承担责任。\n\n(c) 对于因本协议或服务引起或与之有关的所有损失，各方及其代理人对另一方或任何第三方承担的总责任，不得超过客户在导致所称损失的行为发生之日前紧接六（6）个月内，就引起该等损失的特定服务向EPIQ支付的总金额。\n\n9. 声明/保证。\n\nEpiq不作出任何明示或默示的声明或保证，包括但不限于对适销性、适合性、特定目的或用途的适用性或充分性、质量、生产率或能力的任何默示或明示保证。\n\n10. 保密在线工作区\n\n应客户请求，Epiq有权：(a) 就其根据本协议向客户提供服务，与外部供应商建立保密在线工作区；以及(b)

Epiq 不是债务人的债权人；\n\nb. Epiq 不会视自身为受美国政府雇用，且不会以本第 11 章案件中的债权申报及通知代理人身份向美国政府寻求任何报酬；\n\nc. 通过接受本第 11 章案件中的聘用，Epiq 放弃与债务人的第 11 章案件有关的从美国政府获得报酬的任何权利；\n\nd. Epiq 以本第 11 章案件中的债权申报及通知代理人身份，不会成为美国的代理人，也不会代表美国行事；\n\ne. Epiq 不得就其在本第 11 章案件中担任债权申报及通知代理人的工作，雇用债务人的任何现任或前任雇员；\n\nf. Epiq 以债权申报及通知代理人身份，不会故意向任何人虚假陈述任何事实；\n\ng. 关于接收和登记债权申报及债权转让，Epiq 应受书记官办公室监督和控制；\n\nh. Epiq 以本第 11 章案件中的债权申报及通知代理人身份提供的任何服务，均不得由书记官办公室承担费用。\n\n6. 据本人所知，并且仅基于动议人向本人提供的信息，除本文所述者外，Epiq 及其任何雇员与债务人、其债权人或其他相关方不存在任何实质性不利关联。Epiq 可能作为供应商，或在 Epiq 以中立身份担任另一第 11 章债务人的通知、债权申报及投票代理人的案件中，与债务人的某些债权人存在关系。鉴于 Epiq 在债务人案件或任何其他案件中作为债权申报及通知代理人的中立地位，Epiq 不认为该等关系构成实际或潜在的利益冲突。\n\n7. Epiq 在本人监督下，基于查询一份载有 Epiq 现有或近期客户个人及实体名称的内部客户数据库，对本第 11 章案件中已识别的潜在利害关系方（“潜在利害关系方”）进行了审查。潜在利害关系方名单由动议人提供，并作为附表 1 附于本文之后。就 Epiq 的利益冲突核查显示某些潜在利害关系方与 Epiq 有关联的范围内，该等当事方已在作为附表 2 附于本文之后的名单（“客户匹配名单”）中予以识别。据本人所知，Epiq 与客户匹配名单中任何当事方之间的任何该等关联，均与债务人完全无关。\n\n8. 此外，Epiq 人员可能与债务人的某些债权人或其他利害关系方存在关系。然而，据本人所知，该等关系如存在，均属个人性质，并且与本第 11 章案件完全无关。Epiq 已经并将继续在与本第 11 章案件无关的事项中代表客户。此外，Epiq 已经并将继续在正常业务过程中，与可能参与债务人案件的某些供应商、专业人士及其他利害关系方就与本案无关的事项保持关系。Epiq 还可能向本第 11 章案件中可能属于债权人或利害关系方的实体或个人提供专业服务，而该等服务与债务人的本第 11 章案件不直接相关，亦不存在任何直接联系。据本人所知，Epiq 及其任何雇员均未就 Epiq 将受聘处理的任何事项代表对债务人遗产具有实质性不利的任何利益。基于上述情况，本人认为 Epiq 是《破产法》第 101(14) 条所定义的“无利害关系人”。\n\n9. Epiq 与某些为法律专业提供电子证据开示、集体诉讼和解、金融交易、第 7 章及第 13 章破产、诉讼和监管合规一体化技术产品及服务的公司共享同一公司母公司。鉴于 Epiq 与其关联公司在法律和运营上相互独立，以及该等公司所履行服务的行政性质，Epiq 不认为仅因 Epiq 关联公司或其公司母公司的任何关系或债权而产生利益冲突。\n\n10. 如 Epiq 在其受聘期间发现任何与本文所述事项有关的新事实或关系，Epiq 将尽合理努力及时提交补充宣誓书。\n\n11. Epiq 在履行债权申报及通知代理人服务时，将按服务协议所列费率向债务人收费。\n\n12. Epiq 将遵守书记官办公室的所有要求，以及美国司法会议为实施 28 U.S.C. § 156(c) 而颁布的指南。\n\n13. Epiq 曾为与 Xclaim Inc.（“Xclaim”）签订协议的一方。截至 September 9, 2022，Epiq 已终止其与 Xclaim 的协议。除已披露的先前与 Xclaim 的协议外，Epiq 及其关联公司均非任何协议的一方；根据该等协议，其因向非客户第三方转让其依据 28 U.S.C. § 156(c) 担任债权代理人角色所获得的信息而收取对价。\n\n14. 根据 28 U.S.C. § 1746，本人特此在伪证处罚下声明，据本人所获信息、所知及所信，上述内容真实、正确。\n\n日期：December 5, 2022\n\n/s/ Kate Mailloux　Kate Mailloux　高级总监　Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC\n附表 1\n英语\n\n潜在利害关系方\n\n利害关系方名册\n\n20名最大无担保债权人\n\nPACIFIC ALLIANCE ASIA OPPORTUNITY GOLDEN SPRING NEW YORK RUI MA CHENG JIAN WU JIAN SHE NING YE GUO BAOSHENG YAN LAN & WU ZHENG HONG QI QU NAN TONG SI JIAN JIAN GONG YAN ZHAO YUA HUA ZHUANG SHI LIEHONG ZHUANG/XIAO YAN ZHU WEICAN MENG/BOXUN INC.
