In support of this Motion, the Movants respectfully state as follows.\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, and 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### 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 sections 105(a), 327, 328, 363 of title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\").\n\n### BACKGROUND\n\n### I. Genever (US)'s Chapter 11 Case and the Sale Process\n\n4. On October 12, 2020, Genever (US) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the \"SDNY Bankruptcy Court\"), thereby commencing case number 20-12411 (JLG) (the \"SDNY Bankruptcy Case\").\n\n5. One of the Genever (US)'s principal assets consists of the 18th floor apartment and auxiliary units in the Sherry Netherland Hotel located at 781 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022 (collectively, the \"Sherry Netherland Apartment\").\n\n6. On December 13, 2020, Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. (\"PAX\"), filed its motion [Docket No. 13 in Case No. 22-50592] (the \"Lift Stay Motion\") to modify the automatic stay to proceed with its pending state court litigation against Genever (US). PAX is, at this time, the largest unsecured creditor of the Individual Debtor and has asserted a claim against Genever (US) on the basis that Genever (US) is an alter ego of the Individual Debtor. See Proof of Claim No. 5-1 against Genever (US).\n\n2\n\n7. The Lift Stay Motion was opposed by Bravo Luck Limited (\"Bravo Luck\"). See Docket No. 21 in Case No. 22-50592. Bravo Luck has asserted a beneficial interest in the Sherry Netherland Apartment on the basis of a purported trust agreement. See Proof Claim No. 4-1 against Genever (US). Bravo Luck's purported beneficial interest in the Sherry Netherland Apartment is currently being challenged in (i) an adversary proceeding commenced by the Trustee in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case, see Adv. Proc. No. 22-05027, and (ii) an adversary proceeding commenced by Genever (US) in its chapter 11 case, see Adv. Proc. No. 22-05030.\n\n8. On January 12, 2020, PAX filed its motion [Docket Nos. 35 and 36 in Case No. 22-50592] (the \"Conversion Motion\") to convert Genever (US)'s chapter 11 case to a case under chapter 7 or, in the alternative, to appoint a trustee. The Conversion Motion was also opposed by Bravo Luck. See Docket No. 44 in Case No. 22-50592.\n\n9. On September 24, 2021, Genever (US) filed its Omnibus Second Renewed Motion (i) to Approve Second Amended and Restated Settlement with Bravo Luck and PAX; and (ii) to Hire Melanie L. Cyganowski as an Employee Only to Act as the Sales Officer for the Debtor's Bankruptcy Estate [Docket No. 131 in Case No. 22-50592] (the \"Settlement Motion\").\n\n10. As set forth in the Settlement Motion, Genever (US), PAX and Bravo Luck entered into a settlement (the \"Settlement Agreement\") (attached to the Settlement Motion as Exhibit A),<sup>2</sup> establishing, among other things, a framework for the sale of the Sherry Netherland Apartment under the stewardship of former bankruptcy judge Melanie L. Cyganowski as sales officer (the \"Sales Officer\") to be employed by Genever (US) in accordance with an engagement letter dated September 24, 2021 (attached to the Settlement Motion as Exhibit B). The\n\n<sup>2</sup> For the Court's ease of reference, a copy of the Settlement Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B.\n\nSettlement Agreement and the procedures for the sale of the Sherry Netherland Apartment were designed to resolve PAX's concerns about Mr. Kwok's undue control over Genever (US) concerns that were at the center of PAX's Lift Stay Motion<sup>3</sup> and Conversion Motion.<sup>4</sup> See Settlement Agreement at 1.\n\n11. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Sales Officer's authority and duties are, among other things, to (i) select a real estate broker to be retained and employed by Genever (US)'s estate in the Sales Officer's business judgment, and subject to the right of Bravo Luck and PAX to object, (ii) oversee and interface with the retained real estate broker, and (iii) have the final approval power after prior consultation with Genever (US), Bravo Luck and PAX, and subject to Bankruptcy Court approval with right to object by Bravo Luck and PAX, regarding the marketing and sale of the Sherry Netherland Apartment.\n\n12. The Settlement Agreement also provides that the sale process shall be limited to 180 days from the retention of the broker, subject to extension upon written agreement of Genever (US), Bravo Luck and PAX, or by further order of the court for cause shown.<sup>5</sup>\n\n13. On October 8, 2021, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court entered (i) an Order approving the Settlement [Docket No. 141 in Case No. 22-50592] (the \"Settlement Order\"); and (ii) an\n\n<sup>3</sup> For example, in its Lift Stay Motion, PAX asserted that \"Kwok orchestrated the bankruptcy filing in an effort to move the veil-piercing trial and related proceedings away from Justice Ostrager, who has presided over the State Court Action for almost four years and has issued a series of rulings adverse to Kwok, including summary judgment in favor of PAX on its breach of contract claim.\" Lift Stay Motion ¶ 1.\n\n<sup>4</sup> For example, in its Conversion Motion, PAX asserted that \"Kwok caused the Debtor to file its Chapter 11 petition . . . as a last ditch and bad faith attempt to impede the State Court Action and avoid more adverse rulings and any enforcement efforts by PAX.\" Conversion Motion ¶ 4.\n\n<sup>5</sup> For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing 180-day time limit does not apply to Ms. Cyganowski's engagement. In fact, Ms. Cyganowski's engagement letter provides that her employment \"shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the entry of a Court order dismissing the Bankruptcy Case, (ii) the entry of a Court order converting the Company's chapter 11 bankruptcy case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) the entry of a Court order terminating my services as Sales Officer.\" A copy of Ms. Cyganowski's engagement letter is attached as Exhibit 2 to the Settlement Motion [Docket No. 131 in Case No. 22-50592]. Moreover, the Settlement Agreement provides that \"[t]he Debtor may only revoke or terminate the hiring and appointment of Ms. Cyganowski pursuant to Order of the Bankruptcy Court.\" Settlement Agreement § 2.\n\nOrder approving Genever (US)'s hiring of Melanie L. Cyganowski [Docket No. 142 in Case No. 22-50592] (the \"Sales Officer Order\").\n\n14. On December 15, 2021, Genever (US) filed its Application to Employ and Retain Sotheby's International Realty as its Real Estate Broker and Sales Agent [Docket No. 160 in Case No. 22-50592] (the \"Sotheby's Application\"), in which Genever (US) sought to retain Sotheby's as Genever (US)'s sales agent in accordance with the engagement agreement [Docket No. 162-1 in Case No. 22-50592] (the \"Retention Agreement\"). The Retention Agreement provides that Sotheby's shall be retained for an initial term of 180 days from the entry of the Order approving its retention.\n\n15. On January 13, 2022, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court entered an order, pursuant to sections 327(a), 328, and 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable Bankruptcy Rules, approving the Sotheby's Application [Docket No. 168 in Case No. 22-50592].\n\n16. The SDNY Bankruptcy Court has previously entered stipulations and orders extending the sale process of the Sherry Netherland Apartment and Sotheby's retention by Genever (US). See Docket Nos. 202 and 222 in Case No. 22-50592. Pursuant to the most recent stipulation and order entered on October 21, 2022 [Docket No. 222 in Case No. 22-50592], the sale process and Sotheby's retention were both extended through October 31, 2022. Thus, the sale process under the Settlement Agreement has expired.\n\n17. As of the filing of this Motion, no buyer has yet been identified for the Sherry Netherland Apartment.\n\n18. On November 3, 2022, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court entered an order [Docket No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592] transferring the venue of the SDNY Bankruptcy Case to this Court, which assigned it Case Number 22-50592.\n\n5\n\n### II. Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case\n\n19. 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\n20. 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\n21. 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.\n\n22. 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]. The Trustee owns all the shares in Genever (BVI),<sup>6</sup> which, in turn, wholly owns Genever (US).\n\n23. The chapter 11 cases of the Individual Debtor, Genever (US), and Genever (BVI) are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only.\n\n### RELIEF REQUESTED\n\n24. Movants request authorization to continue the now-expired sale process of the Sherry Netherland Apartment under the auspices of the Sales Officer retroactive to October 31, 2022 and through February 1, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, except that PAX and Bravo Luck shall have no further consent or consultation rights with respect to the marketing and sale process after October 31, 2022 (i.e., the current end date of the sale process). The extension will be without prejudice to further extensions of the sale and marketing\n\n<sup>6</sup> Genever (BVI) filed its chapter 11 petition in this Court on October 11, 2022.\n\nprocess upon the consent of the Movants, the Sales Officer, and Sotheby's without further order of the Court, or by further order of the Court for cause shown.\n\n25. In addition, Movants request authorization to continue the previously courtapproved retention of Sotheby's as Genever (US)'s broker to market and sell the Sherry Netherland Apartment, retroactive to October 31, 2022 and through February 1, 2023, without prejudice to further extensions of Sotheby's retention by further order of the Court for cause shown.\n\n### BASIS FOR RELIEF\n\n26. Movants submit that it is in the best interest of the estates of Genever (US), Genever (BVI), and the Individual Debtor to continue the sale process of the Sherry Netherland Apartment so as to monetize Genever (US)'s principal asset for the benefit of Genever (US). As part of this sale process, it is critical that the Sales Officer and Sotheby's—both of whom have acquired substantial institutional knowledge regarding the Sherry Netherland Apartment and the sale process—continue to market and sell the Sherry Netherland Apartment.\n\n27. While the sale and marketing process would continue to be conducted by the Sales Officer and Sotheby's in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Movants propose that the order extending the sale and marketing process not continue any of PAX's and Bravo Luck's consultation and consent rights which they previously enjoyed under the nowexpired sale process. For the period prior to October 31, 2022, these consultation rights included:\n\ni. consultation rights with respect to the marketing process (including minimum offers and marketing strategy), see Settlement Agreement § 4, and the sale procedures (including selecting qualified bidders, scheduling an auction, and selecting the highest and otherwise best offer), see id. §§ 5, 6; and\n\n7\n\n- ii. the right to be kept fully informed regarding the status of the sale process, all offers received, and all material issues relating to the negotiation and eventual sale of the Sherry Netherland Apartment, see id. § 5.e.\n- 28. In addition, the Settlement Agreement also provided PAX and Bravo Luck with\n\ncertain consent rights, namely:\n\n- i. the right to propose/recommend parties to the Sales Officer for the role of the real estate broker and the right to interview prospective brokers, see id. § 3;\n- ii. the right to review and approve, before filing, the motion seeking approval to sell the assets of Genever (US), including the Sherry Netherland Apartment, and the sale procedures in connection with the same, id. § 5.c.;\n- iii. reasonable consent rights with respect to the selection of the bank with which the gross proceeds of the sale are to be deposited, id. § 5.h;\n- iv. the right to propose replacement candidates for the Sales Officer, in the event of Ms. Cyganowski's death, incapacity, resignation, or removal, id. § 5.g; and\n- v. consent rights in the event that Genever (US) seeks to expand or materially change the terms or duties of the Sales Officer and/or add new executive officers, id. § 27.D.b.\n- 29. It bears repeating that the parties entered into the Settlement Agreement\n\n(including the appointment of the Sales Officer to oversee the sale and marketing process) to resolve PAX's Lift Stay Motion and Conversion Motion, which raised serious concerns about the Individual Debtor's undue control over Genever (US) and its chapter 11 case. In light of the appointment of the Trustee as an independent fiduciary for the Individual Debtor's estate and the Trustee's corporate control over Genever (US) (as a result of his ownership of Genever (BVI)'s shares), there is no longer any rationale for creditors (such as PAX and Bravo Luck) to continue to have consent or consultation rights with respect to the sale and marketing process.\n\n30. Movants submit that any objections that Bravo Luck or PAX may have to the relief sought in this Motion should be overruled. If and when Movants request Court approval of a sale of the Sherry Netherland Apartment, Movants will provide notice of such sale to Bravo Luck and PAX (and other parties in interest), which will then have the opportunity to raise any objections they may have to such sale, including as to the identity of the prospective buyer, the sale price, or the marketing process. There is no basis, however, to allow Bravo Luck or PAX to continue to have consent and consultation rights during the sale and marketing process, now that an independent fiduciary oversees that process.\n\n31. In addition, the Trustee notes that several of the consent rights were vague as to the scope of such rights. For example, section 5.c of the Settlement Agreement stated that a draft of the Sale Motion (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) is to \"be provided to Bravo Luck and PAX for review and approval prior to filing.\" Settlement Agreement § 5.c (emphasis added). It is not clear whether this provision effectively gave Bravo Luck and PAX an absolute veto right over any sale (by withholding their approval of a proposed Sale Motion) or whether Bravo Luck and PAX's consent rights were limited to the form of the Sale Motion, without being able to block the filing of such motion. It should go without saying that the former would be highly improper, now that an independent fiduciary has been appointed in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case, which fiduciary now oversees the chapter 11 cases of Genever (BVI) and Genever (US).\n\n32. Finally, Movants have discussed the relief sought in this Motion with the Sales Officer, and she has confirmed that she has no objection to the requested relief.\n\n9\n\n### NOTICE\n\n33. Notice of this Motion has been given to the United States Trustee, the Individual 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. In addition, counsel to Bravo Luck will receive notice of this Motion by email and first class mail.\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 Motion, and\n\norder such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.\n\nDated: December 20, 2022 New Haven, Connecticut\n\nBy: /s/Douglas S.

Despins，作为Ho Wan Kwok破产财产的受托人（仅用于通知及通信）。\n\n管辖权、审判地及法定依据\n\n1. United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格联邦地区破产法院）（“本院”）根据28 U.S.C. §§ 157及1334，以及United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格联邦地区法院）作出的移交常设命令（经修订），对本事项拥有管辖权。本事项属于28 U.S.C. § 157(b)所规定的核心程序。\n\n2. 根据28 U.S.C. §§ 1408及1409，本地区为适当审判地。\n\n3. 本文所请求救济的依据为United States Code（《美国法典》）第11编（“《破产法典》”）第105(a)、327、328及363条。\n\n背景\n\nI. Genever (US)的第11章案件及出售程序\n\n4. 2020年10月12日，Genever (US)在United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York（纽约南区联邦破产法院）（“SDNY Bankruptcy Court”）提交了根据United States Code第11编第11章请求救济的自愿申请，从而启动案号20-12411 (JLG)（“SDNY Bankruptcy Case”）的案件。\n\n5. Genever (US)的一项主要资产包括位于781 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022的Sherry Netherland Hotel（Sherry Netherland酒店）第18层公寓及附属单元（统称“Sherry Netherland公寓”）。\n\n6. 2020年12月13日，Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P.（太盟亚洲机会基金有限合伙企业）（“PAX”）提交了其动议[Docket No. 13 in Case No. 22-50592]（“解除自动中止动议”），请求修改自动中止，以继续其针对Genever (US)尚待审理的州法院诉讼。PAX目前是个人债务人的最大无担保债权人，并主张对Genever (US)享有债权，理由是Genever (US)为个人债务人的另我。见针对Genever (US)的Proof of Claim No. 5-1。\n\n7. Bravo Luck Limited（博运有限公司）（“Bravo Luck”）反对解除自动中止动议。见Docket No. 21 in Case No. 22-50592。Bravo Luck基于一项据称的信托协议，主张其对Sherry Netherland公寓享有受益权益。见针对Genever (US)的Proof Claim No. 4-1。Bravo Luck所主张的Sherry Netherland公寓受益权益目前正在以下程序中受到质疑：(i) 受托人在个人债务人第11章案件中提起的对立程序，见Adv. Proc. No. 22-05027；及(ii) Genever (US)在其第11章案件中提起的对立程序，见Adv. Proc. No. 22-05030。\n\n8. 2020年1月12日，PAX提交了其动议[Docket Nos. 35 and 36 in Case No. 22-50592]（“转换动议”），请求将Genever (US)的第11章案件转换为第7章案件，或作为替代方案，任命一名受托人。Bravo Luck亦反对转换动议。见Docket No. 44 in Case No. 22-50592。\n\n9. 2021年9月24日，Genever (US)提交其综合第二次更新动议：(i) 批准与Bravo Luck及PAX达成的第二次修订及重述和解；及(ii) 聘用Melanie L. Cyganowski（梅拉妮·L.·齐加诺夫斯基）作为雇员，仅为担任债务人破产财产的销售官员[Docket No. 131 in Case No. 22-50592]（“和解动议”）。\n\n10. 如和解动议所述，Genever (US)、PAX及Bravo Luck订立了一项和解协议（“和解协议”）（作为附件A附于和解动议），2 该协议除其他事项外，建立了在前破产法官Melanie L. Cyganowski作为销售官员（“销售官员”）的管理下出售Sherry Netherland公寓的框架；该销售官员将由Genever (US)根据日期为2021年9月24日的聘用函（作为附件B附于和解动议）聘用。\n\n2 为便于本院查阅，和解协议副本作为附件B附于本动议。\n\n和解协议及Sherry Netherland公寓的出售程序旨在解决PAX对Kwok先生对Genever (US)不当控制的关切，该等关切是PAX解除自动中止动议3及转换动议4的核心。见和解协议第1页。\n\n11. 根据和解协议，销售官员的权限及职责包括但不限于：(i) 依销售官员的商业判断选择由Genever (US)破产财产保留及聘用的房地产经纪人，但须受Bravo Luck及PAX提出异议权利的限制；(ii) 监督及与受聘的房地产经纪人联络；及(iii) 就Sherry Netherland公寓的营销及出售，在事先与Genever (US)、Bravo Luck及PAX协商后，且须经破产法院批准并保留Bravo Luck及PAX提出异议的权利，拥有最终批准权。\n\n12. 和解协议还规定，出售程序应自聘用经纪人之日起限于180日，但经Genever (US)、Bravo Luck及PAX书面同意，或法院基于所示理由进一步作出裁定的，可予延长。5\n\n13. 2021年10月8日，SDNY Bankruptcy Court作出：(i) 批准和解的裁定[Docket No. 141 in Case No. 22-50592]（“和解裁定”）；及(ii) 批准Genever (US)聘用Melanie L. Cyganowski的裁定[Docket No. 142 in Case No. 22-50592]（“销售官员裁定”）。\n\n3 例如，PAX在其解除自动中止动议中主张：“Kwok策划提交破产申请，试图将揭开公司面纱审判及相关程序从Ostrager法官处转移；Ostrager法官已主持该州法院诉讼近四年，并作出一系列对Kwok不利的裁决，包括就PAX的违约请求作出有利于PAX的简易判决。”解除自动中止动议第1段。\n\n4 例如，PAX在其转换动议中主张：“Kwok使债务人提交其第11章申请……作为最后一搏且出于恶意的尝试，以阻碍州法院诉讼，并避免PAX作出更多不利裁决及任何执行行动。”转换动议第4段。\n\n5 为免生疑义，上述180日期限不适用于Cyganowski女士的聘用。事实上，Cyganowski女士的聘用函规定，她的聘用“应于下列较早发生者时终止：(i) 法院作出驳回破产案件的裁定；(ii) 法院作出将公司第11章破产案件转换为《破产法典》第7章案件的裁定；及(iii) 法院作出终止本人作为销售官员服务的裁定。”Cyganowski女士聘用函的副本作为附件2附于和解动议[Docket No. 131 in Case No. 22-50592]。此外，和解协议规定：“债务人仅可根据破产法院裁定撤销或终止对Cyganowski女士的聘用及任命。”和解协议第2条。\n\n14. 2021年12月15日，Genever (US)提交其申请，请求聘用及保留Sotheby's International Realty作为其房地产经纪人及销售代理[Docket No. 160 in Case No. 22-50592]（“Sotheby's申请”）；Genever (US)在该申请中请求根据聘用协议[Docket No. 162-1 in Case No. 22-50592]（“保留协议”）保留Sotheby's作为Genever (US)的销售代理。保留协议规定，Sotheby's应自批准其保留的裁定作出之日起，获保留初步期限180日。\n\n15. 2022年1月13日，SDNY Bankruptcy Court根据《破产法典》第327(a)、328及363(b)条以及适用的破产规则，作出裁定批准Sotheby's申请[Docket No. 168 in Case No. 22-50592]。\n\n16. SDNY Bankruptcy Court此前已作出规定，延长Sherry Netherland公寓出售程序及Genever (US)对Sotheby's的保留。见Docket Nos. 202 and 222 in Case No. 22-50592。根据2022年10月21日作出的最近一项规定及裁定[Docket No. 222 in Case No. 22-50592]，出售程序及对Sotheby's的保留均获延长至2022年10月31日。因此，和解协议项下的出售程序已届满。\n\n17. 截至提交本动议之时，尚未为Sherry Netherland公寓确定买方。\n\n18. 2022年11月3日，SDNY Bankruptcy Court作出裁定[Docket No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592]，将SDNY Bankruptcy Case的审判地移送至本院；本院为其指定案号22-50592。\n\nII. 个人债务人的第11章案件\n\n19. 2022年2月15日（“申请日”），个人债务人向本院提交了根据《破产法典》第11章请求救济的自愿申请。\n\n20. 2022年3月21日，United States Trustee（美国受托人）在个人债务人的第11章案件中任命了Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors（无担保债权人官方委员会）（“委员会”）。个人债务人的第11章案件中尚未任命审查员。\n\n21. 2022年6月15日，本院作出决定备忘录及裁定[Docket No. 465]（“受托人裁定”），指示美国受托人在第11章案件中任命一名第11章受托人。根据受托人裁定，美国受托人选定Luc A. Despins作为受托人。\n\n22. 2022年7月8日，本院作出裁定，批准任命Luc A. Despins为第11章案件中的受托人[Docket No. 523]。受托人拥有Genever (BVI)的全部股份，6 而Genever (BVI)继而全资拥有Genever (US)。\n\n23. 个人债务人、Genever (US)及Genever (BVI)的第11章案件仅为程序目的而合并管理。\n\n请求的救济\n\n24. 申请方请求授权，依照《和解协议》的条款，在销售官的主持下，追溯自 October 31, 2022 起并延续至 February 1, 2023，继续进行现已届满的 Sherry Netherland Apartment（雪莉·内瑟兰公寓）销售程序，但 PAX（帕克斯）和 Bravo Luck（布拉沃·拉克）在 October 31, 2022 之后（即目前销售程序的终止日期）不再就营销及销售程序享有任何同意权或协商权。该延期不影响经申请方、销售官和 Sotheby's（苏富比）同意而无需法院进一步命令，或经法院基于所示正当理由作出进一步命令，对销售及营销程序作出进一步延期。\n\n6 Genever (BVI)（Genever（英属维尔京群岛））于 October 11, 2022 在本院提交其第11章申请。\n\n25. 此外，申请方请求授权，追溯自 October 31, 2022 起并延续至 February 1, 2023，继续此前经法院批准对 Sotheby's 的聘用，作为 Genever (US)（Genever（美国））的经纪人，以营销和出售 Sherry Netherland Apartment，且不影响法院基于所示正当理由通过进一步命令进一步延长对 Sotheby's 的聘用。\n\n请求救济的依据\n\n26. 申请方主张，为使 Genever (US)、Genever (BVI) 及个人债务人的破产财产获得最大利益，应继续进行 Sherry Netherland Apartment 的销售程序，以将 Genever (US) 的主要资产变现，使 Genever (US) 受益。作为该销售程序的一部分，至关重要的是，销售官和 Sotheby's——二者均已获得有关 Sherry Netherland Apartment 及销售程序的大量机构性知识——继续营销和出售 Sherry Netherland Apartment。\n\n27. 虽然销售及营销程序将继续由销售官和 Sotheby's 依照《和解协议》的条款进行，但申请方提议，延长销售及营销程序的裁定不应延续 PAX 和 Bravo Luck 根据现已届满的销售程序此前享有的任何协商权和同意权。在 October 31, 2022 之前的期间内，该等协商权包括：\n\ni. 就营销程序（包括最低报价和营销策略）享有协商权，见《和解协议》第4条；以及就销售程序（包括选择合格竞标人、安排拍卖和选择最高且在其他方面最佳的报价）享有协商权，见同上第5、6条；以及\n\nii. 有权充分获悉销售程序的状况、收到的所有报价，以及与 Sherry Netherland Apartment 的谈判和最终出售有关的所有重大事项，见同上第5.e条。\n\n28. 此外，《和解协议》还向 PAX 和 Bravo Luck 赋予了某些同意权，即：\n\ni. 有权向销售官提议／推荐担任房地产经纪人的当事方，并有权面谈潜在经纪人，见同上第3条；\n\nii. 有权在提交前审阅和批准寻求批准出售 Genever (US) 资产（包括 Sherry Netherland Apartment）的动议，以及与该出售有关的销售程序，见同上第5.c条；\n\niii. 就存放销售总收益的银行之选择享有合理同意权，见同上第5.h条；\n\niv. 如 Cyganowski 女士死亡、丧失行为能力、辞职或被免职，有权为销售官职位提议替代候选人，见同上第5.g条；以及\n\nv. 如 Genever (US) 寻求扩大或实质性变更销售官的条款或职责，及／或增设新的高级管理人员，则享有同意权，见同上第27.D.b条。\n\n29. 值得重申的是，各方订立《和解协议》（包括任命销售官监督销售及营销程序），是为了解决 PAX 提出的解除自动中止动议和转换动议；该等动议对个人债务人对 Genever (US) 及其第11章案件的不当控制提出了严重关切。鉴于受托人已被任命为个人债务人破产财产的独立受托人，且受托人因其拥有 Genever (BVI) 的股份而对 Genever (US) 享有公司控制权，债权人（如 PAX 和 Bravo Luck）继续就销售及营销程序享有同意权或协商权已不再有任何理由。\n\n30. 申请方主张，Bravo Luck 或 PAX 对本动议所请求救济可能提出的任何异议均应被驳回。如申请方何时请求法院批准出售 Sherry Netherland Apartment，申请方将向 Bravo Luck 和 PAX（以及其他利害关系方）发出该出售通知，届时其将有机会对该出售提出其可能具有的任何异议，包括就潜在买方的身份、销售价格或营销程序提出异议。然而，既然独立受托人监督该程序，便没有依据允许 Bravo Luck 或 PAX 在销售及营销程序期间继续享有同意权和协商权。\n\n31. 此外，受托人指出，若干同意权就该等权利的范围而言表述模糊。例如，《和解协议》第5.c条规定，出售动议（定义见《和解协议》）的草案应“在提交前提供给 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 审阅和批准”。《和解协议》第5.c条（着重号为原文所加）。尚不清楚该规定是否实际上赋予 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 对任何出售的绝对否决权（即通过拒绝批准拟议出售动议），或者 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 的同意权是否仅限于出售动议的形式，而无权阻止该动议的提交。不言而喻，鉴于独立受托人现已被任命于个人债务人的第11章案件中，而该受托人现监督 Genever (BVI) 和 Genever (US) 的第11章案件，前一种情形将极不妥当。\n\n32. 最后，申请方已与销售官讨论本动议所请求的救济，她已确认其不反对所请求的救济。\n\n通知\n\n33. 本动议的通知已送达给 United States Trustee（美国受托人）、个人债务人及委员会，并通过使用本院电子申报（“CM/ECF”）系统进行电子申报，送达给所有使用 CM/ECF 系统的已出庭当事方。此外，Bravo Luck 的律师将通过电子邮件和一类邮件收到本动议的通知。\n\n［本页剩余部分特意留白。］\n\n因此，鉴于上述理由，申请方请求法院签发一项裁定，其形式实质上与随附提交的拟议裁定相同，准予本动议，并裁定给予法院认为公正和适当的其他及进一步救济。\n\n日期：December 20, 2022\nNew Haven, Connecticut（康涅狄格州纽黑文）\n\n签署人：/s/Douglas S.

Cyganowski（梅拉妮·L·赛加诺夫斯基）于 April 12, 2021 作出的无利害关系声明 [Dkt. 73]（“Cyganowski 声明”）。\n\n鉴于，美国受托人办公室（Office of the U.S. Trustee，“UST”）此前反对《初始协议》，此后各方同意修订和修改《初始协议》，以尝试解决 UST 提出的关切和异议（“经修订的和解协议”）。\n\n鉴于，破产法院于 September 1, 2021 作出裁决，主要认定《经修订的和解协议》符合《破产规则》9019(a)条的标准，但因 Cyganowski 女士亦直接向债务人提供法律意见，或在未根据 11 U.S.C. § 327 获得聘用的情况下在 Otterbourg P.C. 律师事务所协助下提供法律意见的某些问题，而驳回债务人的动议。\n\n鉴于，各方已按本文规定再次进一步修改《经修订的和解协议》，以解决法院在其 September 1, 2021 裁决中提出的关切，并解决 UST 的异议，继续努力以本文所述方式在不诉诸进一步诉讼的情况下解决其分歧；并且，经各方协商，各方已同意解决解除自动停止动议和转换动议，并建立通过第11章案件出售该住宅的程序，同时保留如下所述各方的权利。\n\n因此，鉴于本文所载承诺及相互约定的对价，现确认已收到该等对价且其充分性已获确认，各方特此同意、约定并订立如下协议：\n\n1. 定义。本文使用但未另行定义的首字母大写术语应具有以下含义：\n\na. “批准裁定”系指破产法院作出的准许该动议并批准本《和解协议》的裁定。\n\nb. “破产法院”系指 United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York（纽约南区美国破产法院）。\n\n“BVI”系指 British Virgin Islands（英属维尔京群岛）。C.\n\nd. 于2020年在 BVI 提起、案号为 BVIHCM 2020/0137、针对：(i) Genever BVI，(ii) Bravo Luck，(iii) Kwok，及 (iv) Guo 的诉讼，其中寻求（除其他事项外）执行：(a) 州法院诉讼中产生的判决书；以及 (b) Bravo Luck 和 Guo 于 January, 14, 2021 针对 PAX 提交的答辩及反诉。\n\ne. “第11章案件”系指债务人向破产法院提交、案名为 GENEVER HOLDINGS LLC. 的基础第11章破产案件，案号为 20-12411。\n\nf. 已由破产法院作出，且为最终命令。\n\n“Genever BVI”系指 Genever Holdings Corporation，一家英属维尔京群岛公司，且为债务人的100%所有人。g.\n\nh. “Guo”系指 Qiang Guo（郭强）。\n\ni. “Kwok”系指 Kwok Ho Wan，又名 Miles Kwok。\n\nj. 债务人于 February 13, 2015 订立的经营协议，并依其中第23条经该决议修订。\n\nk. 位于 781 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022 的 Sherry Netherland Hotel（Sherry Netherland 酒店）内的住宅。\n\nl. 法院 September 1, 2021 关于聘用 Cyganowski 女士作为雇员、担任债务人销售官的裁决中所指的债务人，具体如下文规定。\n\nm. 向破产法院申请批准出售债务人的资产，包括但不限于该住宅，并批准与此相关的出售程序。\n\nn. 破产法院根据本《和解协议》批准重新提出的聘用 Cyganowski 女士之动议。\n\no. Sherry-Netherland。\n\n2. 债务人可依其商业判断聘用并任命 Cyganowski 女士，仅作为雇员担任债务人的销售官（“SO”），依照《经营协议》和该决议第9.3条及第23条，并仅向 Cyganowski 女士作为销售官授予控制和监督如下所述住宅出售的权限，而不使 Cyganowski 女士承担任何其他职责或责任。Cyganowski 女士的聘用应按本《和解协议》所载内容，由破产法院根据销售官聘用命令予以批准。根据《经营协议》、《破产法典》第363条及本《和解协议》，债务人仅可依破产法院的进一步命令撤销或终止对 Cyganowski 女士的聘用。各方认为，Cyganowski 女士具备通过破产程序出售曼哈顿高端住宅房地产及合作公寓所需的专业知识。Cyganowski 女士为债务人、Bravo Luck 和 PAX 所接受。Cyganowski 女士作为销售官，将按下文规定监督并与所聘用的房地产经纪人对接，并应就债务人的决策、出售程序以及 (i) 合格买方（定义见下文）和合格要约（定义见下文）及 (ii) 该住宅出售的中标要约和备选要约的选择，享有债务人据此及该决议所授权的最终权限，但须经破产法院批准，且 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 享有提出异议的权利。\n\n案号 22-500-718，文件 13571，提交日期 1092242221，录入日期 1029224221174415526，第 4 页，共 32 页\n经修订的和解协议，第 4 页，共 12 页\n\n在行使该等权力时，销售官应与债务人、Bravo Luck 和 PAX 协商。销售官并非担任债务人律师，亦非第11章受托人或审查员，但应拥有破产受托人所行使的同类权限，严格限于本文项下的聘用条款，且不取代债务人作为占有中债务人的角色。\n\n3. 该经纪人应由债务人遗产依销售官根据该决议获授权的商业判断予以选择和聘用，并应与各方协商，且以 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 的异议权为限。Bravo Luck 和 PAX 应被允许向销售官提议／推荐担任经纪人角色的当事方。Bravo Luck 和 PAX 应有权面试潜在经纪人。Bravo Luck 和 PAX 应与经纪人和销售官协商，以确定实现该住宅最大价值的时间安排和方式。经纪人的报酬应符合市场条款，但须经破产法院批准，且 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 享有提出异议的权利。销售官应就经纪人的报酬与 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 协商。经纪人应无利害关系且不存在利益冲突，具体如下所述。在债务人提交前，应向 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 提供经纪协议草案及无利害关系宣誓书，以供审阅和提出意见；该等文件应披露经纪人及其代表与 Miles Kwok、Kwok 的家庭成员及其各自律师、关联人士、关联方和权益之间的一切过去及当前利益冲突、联系及财务关系，以及与 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 及其各自律师、关联人士、关联方和权益之间的任何过往联系。经纪人应具备出售曼哈顿高端住宅房地产的专业知识。\n\n4. 该住宅，其具体条款应由销售官与债务人协商并按下文规定确定：\n\na. 销售官应与 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 协商，为任何出售的最低要约设定底价。\n\nb. 销售官可与 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 协商，考虑对内部人士要约，或 PAX 或其关联方提出的要约施加限制。\n\nc. 经纪人及其代表将获得的间接报酬。\n\n销售官应与经纪人协调，并与债务人、d.

PAX 应按下文明确规定撤回其转换动议（Conversion Motion）。PAX 不会支持或鼓励本协议任何其他方提出任命受托人或转换的动议。然而，尽管本协议载有任何相反规定，如债务人、Bravo Luck、Kwok、Guo 或其任何关联实体违反本和解协议的任何实质性条款，则 PAX 重新提出或提交其转换动议（包括任命受托人）的权利不受任何限制；债务人或 Bravo Luck 以任何理由（包括但不限于该等违约并未发生）反对该等行动的权利亦不受任何限制。如 PAX 违反本协议项下任何实质性条款，则 PAX 不再有权重新提出或提交其转换动议（包括任命受托人）；但 PAX 请求破产法院宣告该等违约并未发生的权利不受任何限制。除本协议明确规定外，各方的一切权利和救济均明确予以保留。\n\nd. 在签署本和解协议时，债务人、Bravo Luck 和 PAX 已事先同意指定西加诺夫斯基女士为 SO。如第 27(D)(f) 段被触发，则 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 应各指定两名候选人，共指定四名候选人，供考虑作为指定 SO（全体当事方共四名）（以下简称“名单”）。各方应协商从该名单中选定一名经同意的 SO。如各方无法就 SO 的选定达成协议，则破产法院应从该名单中任命 SO，除非法院认定存在不可调和的利益冲突；在此之后，美国受托人办公室（Office of the United States Trustee）可在与 Bravo Luck 和 PAX 协商后，向法院提交建议，由其他独立且无利害关系的人担任 SO。\n\ne. 确认解除中止，以允许 Sherry-Netherland 从现有保证金中抵扣截至本协议日期已产生且应付的申请后维护费和摊派费用，以及此后按月产生的该等费用；但中止在所有其他方面仍然有效。\n\n8. 破产法院批准。本和解协议须经破产法院批准，并仅自生效日（Effective Date）起生效并对各方具有约束力。各方特此同意放弃就批准命令（Approval Order）效力提出上诉的 14 日期限。债务人应请求破产法院在批准命令作出后立即将其确定为最终且不可上诉的命令。Bravo Luck 和 PAX 已经并将继续采取一切合理措施，以寻求批准本和解协议及作出批准命令，并对针对本和解协议的任何异议或针对批准命令的上诉进行抗辩。\n\n先决条件。本和解协议中规定的各方义务以生效日发生为条件。如破产法院拒绝作出批准命令，或批准命令在上诉中被撤销或推翻，本和解协议不再具有任何效力或作用，且各方各自的利益、权利、救济和抗辩应在不受损害的情况下恢复，如同本和解协议从未订立及达成／作出。\n\n10. 各方声明：(a) 其有权签署和交付本和解协议并履行其项下义务；(b) 各方均认为，按照本和解协议的规定，就本和解协议所涵盖事项达成和解符合其自身最佳利益；(c) 除本和解协议明确规定外，未向任何一方提供任何承诺、协议、诱因、陈述或保证；(d) 本和解协议不违反或不抵触任何一方的任何其他协议；(e) 本和解协议是在充分知悉其所载条款和义务的后果及含义的情况下自愿签署；(f) 在本和解协议签署前的谈判期间，以及在本和解协议的拟备和签署过程中，各方均由其自行选择的律师代理；(g) 各方均已审慎、全面审阅本和解协议全文，并已与各方自行选择的律师解决关于本和解协议含义、法律性质及约束力的一切问题；及 (h) 本和解协议具有合同性质，并非仅为陈述，且各方均已阅读、理解并完全同意本和解协议的条款。\n\n11. 本和解协议的任何内容均不得解释为任何一方承认责任或过错，且该等责任和过错均被明确否认。\n\n案件-22-500-718 文书 13571 Filibert 1292242221 Erivered 1029224221174415526 Frankt For 32 修订和解协议 第 9 页，共 12 页\n\n12. 各方应在本和解协议日期后，签署另一方为实现本和解协议之目的而合理要求的任何进一步文书。\n\n13. 转让。未经 (a) 其他各方事先书面同意（该等同意可由其全权酌情决定拒绝），或 (b) 破产法院命令，任何一方均不得转让其根据本和解协议或就本和解协议享有的任何利益、承担的义务或责任。\n\n14. 继受人。本协议对各方及其各自的继受人、继承人、遗产和个人代表具有约束力，并使其受益。\n\n15. 修订。本协议仅可通过由本协议各方正式授权代表签署的书面文件予以修改或修订。\n\n16. 完整性。本和解协议的各项规定均为本和解协议整合的、必要的且不可分割的条款。\n\n17. 副本；传真签名。本和解协议可签署若干副本，每一该等副本均构成正本，所有该等副本合并构成同一份文件。电子传输或传真副本应视为正本。\n\n18. 标题。本和解协议的标题仅为便利和参考而设，不界定、限制或描述本和解协议的范围，亦不界定、限制或描述其任何条款的范围或内容。\n\n19. 准据法。本和解协议应受《破产法典》（Bankruptcy Code）管辖并依其解释。\n\n20. 持续管辖权。破产法院应保留管辖权，以解决与本和解协议的解释或执行有关的任何争议。\n\n21. 完整协议。本和解协议构成各方就本和解协议及其标的达成的完整协议和理解。\n\n22. 如某项规定可作两种或以上解释，其中一种解释将导致该规定无效、可撤销或不可执行，另一种解释将导致该规定有效且可执行，则该项规定应具有使其有效且可执行的含义。\n\n23. 规定，合同中的歧义应作不利于起草方的解释，但该规则不适用于本和解协议，因为各方均参与起草其条款，且所有各方均放弃在解释本和解协议时适用该解释规则。\n\n案件-22-500-718 文件13571 提交：1292242221 送达：1029224221174415526 第32页 修订和解协议 第10页，共12页\n\n24. 授予利益。本和解协议的任何内容均不得解释为向各方以外的任何个人或实体授予任何利益。\n\n25. 鉴于条款。鉴于条款真实、正确，并以如在本文中完整载明的方式纳入本文。\n\n26. 时间为关键。本和解协议的履行以时间为关键。\n\n27.\n\nA. 债务人获授权聘用 Cyganowski 女士（齐加诺夫斯基）作为雇员，根据经修订的经营协议和章程，担任指定特别负责人（SO），以履行本和解协议规定的具体职责和义务，并已根据该决议聘用了 Cyganowski 女士。\n\nB. Cyganowski 女士将按小时获得报酬，按现行每小时 \\$1.400 的计费标准计算，其全部报酬均应根据《破产法典》第503条作为行政费用债权处理。债务人应就出售该住宅的申请，请求授权向 Cyganowski 女士支付其费用和开支。\n\nC. 特别负责人的权利、职责和义务应无需债务人成员及管理人员进一步批准即可履行，因为债务人已在行使其商业判断时作出该等批准；但特别负责人应定期向债务人成员及管理人员报告；并且，对出售该住宅的最高及最佳要约的批准，应在通知后由破产法院进一步命令决定。\n\nD. 债务人根据本和解协议聘用 Cyganowski 女士担任特别负责人，经破产法院批准后，应受以下一般限制的约束。\n\na. Cyganowski 女士（以及任何代理人及／或关联实体）不得就第11章案件以任何其他身份行事（例如但不限于，作为律师、法律顾问、财务顾问、审查人、受托人或投资者／收购人）。\n\nb. 经书面动议并通知破产法院，债务人可请求：(i) 使 Cyganowski 女士承担不同于本和解协议所设想职能的职责；(ii) 对聘任条款作出重大变更；(iii) 修改据此提供的职能；(iv) 增加新的高级管理人员；或 (v) 变更或扩大聘任范围（但 Cyganowski 女士和 Otterbourg P.C.（奥特伯格律师事务所）均不得向债务人提供法律服务）。\n\nc. 在上述标题案件审理期间，与 Cyganowski 女士有关联的任何负责人或雇员均不得担任债务人的董事。\n\nd. 债务人应不时定期地，并且至少在依据本协议进行任何付款前二十（20）日，向破产法院提交或促使提交 Cyganowski 女士已赚取的报酬和开支报告，并向已在本第11章案件中提交出庭通知的各方（美国受托人、Bravo Luck（布拉沃幸运）及 PAX）发出通知。\n\ne. Cyganowski 女士及其代理人，就因其作为特别负责人或其代理人的身份而针对其任何一人提出的任何及所有类型的索赔所产生或与之相关的全部判决、费用和开支，包括合理律师费（该等律师费应在法院批准后根据赔偿义务支付），均有权以与债务人任何高级管理人员相同的方式从债务人财产获得预付和赔偿，但经不再可上诉的终局命令认定属于重大过失、故意不当行为、欺诈或违反信义义务的情形除外。本文任何内容均不限制 Cyganowski 女士依法享有的任何抗辩，亦不剥夺其就其具有抗辩理由的任何作为或不作为获得赔偿的权利。Cyganowski 女士应作为附加被保险人加入债务人与 AIG Property and Consulting Company（AIG财产及咨询公司）现有的责任保险单。\n\nf. 替任特别负责人应通过与根据本和解协议对特别负责人作出初次遴选相同的程序，并依照破产法院进一步命令予以选定。\n\nE. 特别负责人应依照本和解协议的条款，就该住宅的出售和营销作出决定，运用其商业判断，并以破产法院根据 11 U.S.C. §363(b) and (f), and 1123 对该住宅出售的批准为条件。债务人已修订经营协议，并特此再次确认：(i) 聘用 Cyganowski 女士担任特别负责人，以履行本文规定的全部职责和责任；(ii) 未经破产法院批准，债务人不得撤销 Cyganowski 女士作为特别负责人的聘用及／或授权；以及 (iii) 如发生死亡、丧失行为能力、辞职或被免职的情形，应依照本和解协议选定替任特别负责人。尽管有前述规定，本文所载任何内容均不得免除债务人作为占有中债务人的职责。\n\n如本和解协议、该动议、聘任函及批准本和解协议的命令之间的条款存在不一致，应以本和解协议的条款为准。\n\n[签名见下一页]\n\n案件-22-500-71g 文件13571 提交：1039224221 送达：10292242211744155526 第265/600页，共32页 修订和解协议 第12页，共12页\n\n日期：September 24, 2021\n\nGenever Holdings LLC（吉尼弗控股有限责任公司）\n\n签署人：/s/Kevin J.
