Epiq shall not cease providing claims processing services during these chapter 11 cases for any reason, including nonpayment, without an order of the Court.\n\n21. In the event that any of these chapter 11 cases are converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the chapter 7 trustee appointed to the case or cases shall be under no obligation to continue to retain Epiq for any purpose.\n\n22. In the event of any inconsistency between the Services Agreement, the Application, and this Order, the terms of this Order shall govern.\n\n23. The Movants and Epiq are authorized to take all actions necessary to effectuate the relief granted pursuant to this Order in accordance with the Application and Services Agreement.\n\n24.

The Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) shall indemnify Epiq and other Indemnified Parties, as that term is defined in the Services Agreement, under the terms of the Services Agreement, as modified pursuant to this Order.\n\n13. 12. The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification, contribution, or reimbursement pursuant to the Services Agreement for services other than the Claims and Noticing Services as provided under the Services Agreement, unless such services and the indemnification, contribution, or reimbursement therefor are approved by the Court.\n\n14. 13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Services Agreement, the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) shall have no obligation to indemnify Epiq, or provide contribution or reimbursement to Epiq for any claim or expense that is either: (i) judicially determined (the determination having become final) to have arisen from Epiq's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud; or (ii) settled prior to a judicial determination but determined by this Court, after notice and a hearing, to be a claim or expense for which Epiq should not receive indemnity, contribution, or reimbursement under the terms of the Service Agreement as modified by this Order.\n\n15. 14. If, before the earlier of (i) the entry of an order confirming a chapter 11 plan in these chapter 11 cases (that order having become a final order no longer subject to appeal), or (ii) the entry of an order closing these chapter 11 cases, Epiq believes that it is entitled to the payment of any amounts by the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) on account of the their indemnification, contribution, and/or reimbursement obligations under the Services Agreement (as modified by this Order), including without limitation the advancement of defense costs, Epiq must file an application therefor in the Court, and the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) may not pay any such amounts to Epiq before the entry of an order by this Court approving the payment. This paragraph is intended only to specify the period of time under which the Court shall have jurisdiction over any request for fees and expenses by Epiq for indemnification, contribution, or reimbursement, and not a provision limiting the duration of the Trustee's, Genever (BVI)'s, and Genever (US)'s obligation to indemnify Epiq. All parties in interest shall retain the right to object to any demand by Epiq for indemnification, contribution, or reimbursement.\n\n16. 15. In the event Epiq is unable to provide the Claims and Noticing Services approved by this Order, Epiq will immediately notify the Clerk and the Movants' counsel, and, upon approval of the Court, cause to have all original proofs of claim and computer information turned over to another claims and noticing agent with the advice and consent of the Clerk and the Movants' counsel.\n\n17. 16. Epiq shall provide no less than ten business days' notice to the Trustee, the Debtors, the U.S. Trustee, and counsel to any official committee before any increases in rates it charges are implemented and shall file such notice with the Court. Any increase in rates are subject to approval by the Court.\n\n18. 17. The Debtors may submit a separate retention application, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 327 and/or any applicable law, for work that is to be performed by Epiq but is not specifically authorized by this Order.\n\n19. 18. The Movants and Epiq are authorized to take all actions necessary to effectuate the relief granted pursuant to this Order in accordance with the Application.\n\n20. 19. Epiq shall not cease providing claims processing services during these chapter 11 cases for any reason, including nonpayment, without an order of the Court.\n\n21. 20. In the event that any of these chapter 11 cases are converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the chapter 7 trustee appointed to the case or cases shall be under no obligation to continue to retain Epiq for any purpose.\n\n22. 21. In the event of any inconsistency between the Services Agreement, the Application, and this Order, the terms of this Order shall govern.\n\n23. 22. The Movants and Epiq are authorized to take all actions necessary to effectuate the relief granted pursuant to this Order in accordance with the Application and Services Agreement.\n\n24. 23. Notwithstanding any term in the Services Agreement to the contrary, this Court retains exclusive jurisdiction with respect to all matters arising from or related to the implementation, interpretation, and enforcement of this Order.","body_zh":"美国破产法院（UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT）康涅狄格州地区（DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT）布里奇波特分庭（BRIDGEPORT DIVISION）\n\nx\n\n关于：　：\n：　第11章\n\nHO WAN KWOK（郭文贵），\n等，　：\n：　案号 22-50073 (JAM)\n债务人。　：　（合并管理）\n\nx\n\n关于提交拟议修订命令的通知：（一）批准聘用并委任 EPIQ CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING, LLC（Epiq Corporate Restructuring 有限责任公司）为债权申报及通知代理人，自 2022 年 12 月 1 日起生效；及（二）给予相关救济\n\n特此通知，法院于 2023 年 1 月 5 日作出命令：（一）批准聘用并委任 Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC 为债权申报及通知代理人，自 2022 年 12 月 1 日起生效；及（二）给予相关救济 [案卷编号 1298]（“Epiq 聘用命令”）。2\n\n进一步通知，在 2023 年 1 月 26 日的听证会上，法院要求澄清 Epiq 的聘用范围，特别是其与本第11章案件中文书送达有关的范围。\n\n进一步通知，根据法院在 2023 年 1 月 26 日听证会上的指示，受托人、Genever Holdings Corporation（Genever Holdings 公司（BVI））及 Genever Holdings LLC（Genever Holdings 有限责任公司（US））谨提交经修订的拟议命令，作为附件 A 附于本通知后（“修订后的 Epiq 聘用命令”），就 Epiq 在本第11章案件中进行送达的范围作出如下澄清：\n\n- (a) Epiq 仅将提供通知服务：(i) 就根据《破产程序规则》2002(a) 和 (b)，要求受托人、Genever (BVI) 和/或 Genever (US) 向全体债权人送达的事项；或 (ii) 经本法院进一步命令明确授权的事项；3\n- (b) Epiq 将在该等送达之日起不迟于三（3）个营业日提交相应的送达证明；以及\n- (c) Epiq 将删除其送达名单中所有重复的通知地址，并且，对于已在本第11章案件中提交出庭通知的当事人，仅向该等出庭通知中所列明的人员送达。\n\n进一步通知，附件 B 为修订后的 Epiq 聘用命令的标线版本，标明了对 Epiq 聘用命令所作的修改。\n\n日期：2023 年 1 月 30 日　LUC A.

Epiq 应担任法院记录的保管人，并被指定为在本第11章案件中提交的所有债权证明的授权保管机构；Epiq 获授权并被指示为每一债务人维护一份债权登记册，向公众提供查阅每一份债权证明的途径，并应书记官要求向其提供经认证的副本；上述事项均须遵守并符合《关于确立提交债权证明期限及批准其通知形式和方式的命令》中有关保密债权证明（定义见债权申报截止日期命令）的保密限制，以及法院可能批准的任何其他保密限制。\n\n6. 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\n7. 授权 Epiq 采取为遵守申请中规定的所有职责所必需的其他行动。\n\n8. 授权受托人、Genever (BVI) 及 Genever (US) 根据《服务协议》的条款，就债权申报及通知服务向 Epiq 支付报酬。\n\n9.

Epiq 对其收取的费率作出任何上调前，应至少提前十个营业日通知受托人、债务人、美国受托人及任何正式委员会的律师，并应向法院提交该通知。任何费率上调均须经法院批准。\n\n18. 债务人可根据 11 U.S.C. § 327 及/或任何适用法律，就由 Epiq 履行但未经本命令明确授权的工作提交单独的聘用申请。\n\n19. 申请方及 Epiq 获授权根据申请，为落实本命令所授予的救济采取一切必要行动。\n\n20. 未经法院命令，Epiq 不得以任何理由，包括未付款，在本第11章案件期间停止提供债权处理服务。\n\n21. 如本第11章案件中的任何案件转换为《破产法》第7章案件，则获任命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\n22. 如《服务协议》、申请书与本命令之间存在任何不一致，应以本命令条款为准。\n\n23. 申请方及 Epiq 获授权根据申请书和《服务协议》，为落实本命令所授予的救济采取一切必要行动。\n\n24. 尽管《服务协议》中有任何相反条款，本院对因执行、解释及实施本命令而产生或与之相关的一切事项保留专属管辖权。\n\n附件 B\n\n经修订的 Epiq 聘用命令（修订标记稿）\n\n美国康涅狄格州联邦破产法院布里奇波特分院\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------　x\n\n关于：　：　第11章\n\nHO WAN KWOK（郭文贵）等，　：　案号：22-50073 (JAM)\n\n债务人。1　：　合并管理\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------　x\n\n[拟议] 经修订命令：(I) 批准聘用及指定 EPIQ CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING, LLC（Epiq 企业重组有限责任公司）自 DECEMBER 1, 2022 起担任债权申报及通知代理人，及 (II) 批准相关救济\n\n兹因 Luc Despins（吕克·德斯平斯）以其作为在 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（“个人债务人”）、Genever Holdings Corporation（Genever Holdings Corporation（BVI））及 Genever Holdings LLC（Genever Holdings LLC（US），连同 Genever（BVI）及受托人，合称“申请方”）第11章案件中获任命的第11章受托人（“受托人”）身份提出的申请（“申请书”），请求作出命令（“本命令”），以 (a) 根据 28 U.S.C. § 156(c) 及《破产法》第105(a)条，批准自 December 1, 2022 起在债务人的第11章案件中聘用及指定 Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC（Epiq 企业重组有限责任公司）（“Epiq”）担任债权申报及通知代理人，以及 (b) 允许 Epiq 除其他事项外，(i) 向利害关系方发出所需通知，(ii) 接收、保存、登记及以其他方式管理在债务人案件中提交的债权证明，以及 (iii) 按债务人要求提供其他行政服务——该等服务本应属于书记官办公室提供服务的范围；并审阅 Mailloux 声明；且鉴于接收、登记及保存债权证明将对书记官构成不当的时间消耗和负担；且本院获 28 U.S.C. §156(c) 授权，可由债务人承担费用，利用外部代理人和设施向第11编案件中的当事方提供通知，并接收、登记、保存、复印及传送债权证明；且本院确信 Epiq 具备提供该等服务的能力和经验，并且 Epiq 就其受聘处理的事项不持有与债务人或财产相冲突的利益；且已就申请书发出充分且适当的通知；且无需其他或进一步通知；且鉴于聘用 Epiq 符合债务人、其财产、其股权证券持有人及债权人的最佳利益；且存在充分理由\n\n支持上述事项；\n\n特此命令：\n\n1. 申请书按本命令所载内容获得批准。\n\n2. 申请方获授权根据 28 U.S.C. § 156(c) 聘用 Epiq，并根据《服务协议》的条款和条件，自 December 1, 2022 起指定 Epiq 为债权申报及通知代理人。\n\n3.
