Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\"), respectfully submits this motion (the \"Motion\") for entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto as **Exhibit 1** (the \"Proposed Order\"), pursuant to section 363(b) of title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\"), approving the Trustee's entry into, and performance under, (i) the yacht management agreement (the \"Management Agreement\"), dated April 5, 2023, with Yachtzoo Sarl (\"Yachtzoo\"), a copy of which is attached hereto as **Exhibit 2**, (ii) the crew provision agreement (the \"Crew Provision Agreement\"), with FDS46 Crew Series LLC (\"FDS\"), the final form of which is attached hereto as **Exhibit 3**, 2 and (iii) the dock space license\n\n1 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 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\n2 At this time, the employer for the Lady May crew, FDS, is in the process of being incorporated. Accordingly, the Crew Provision Agreement has not yet been executed. The Trustee is informed by the incorporator of FDS, Trident Trust Marine Services Limited, that FDS will sign the Crew Provision Agreement immediately after the\n\nagreement (the \"Dockage Agreement\" and, together with the Management Agreement and Crew Provision Agreement, the \"Yacht Maintenance Agreements\"), dated April 4, 2023, with BLD Waterfront Upland Owner, LLC (the \"Bridgeport Harbor Marina\"), a copy of which is attached hereto as **Exhibit 4**, including any reasonable extensions or renewals thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, by this Motion the Trustee also seeks authorization to pay the reasonable operational expenses incurred in the ordinary course of maintaining and operating the Lady May, in accordance with the Yacht Maintenance Agreements.\n\nIn support of this Motion, the Trustee states as follows:\n\n### **PRELIMINARY STATEMENT3**\n\n1. Now that the Court has determined that the Lady May (as well as the Lady May II)4 is property of the Debtor's estate, the Trustee must ensure that the Lay May is maintained in working order pending an eventual sale for the benefit of this estate. The relief sought in this Motion—*i.e.*, approval of the Trustee's entry into, and performance under, the Yacht Maintenance Agreements—is a critical first step to accomplish this objective.5 As detailed below, absent proper maintenance, the Lady May will run the risk of falling into disrepair, which would result in additional repair expenses and/or substantially reduce the prospect of a successful sale. In fact, without the services to be provided in connection with the Management Agreement and Crew Provision Agreement, the Lady May would fall out of compliance with applicable\n\nincorporation has been completed. The Trustee will file a fully executed copy of the Crew Provision Agreement as soon as possible.\n\n3 Capitalized terms used but not defined in the Preliminary Statement have the meanings ascribed to them later in this Motion.\n\n4 The relief sought in this Motion is limited to the Lady May. The Trustee will seek relief related to the Lady May II in due course.\n\n5 The Trustee intends to seek additional relief from this Court related to the Lady May, including authorization to (i) move the Lady May to Newport, Rhode Island, to perform sea valve repair, (ii) retain a sales broker, and (iii) expand the retention of Dexter White to also include consultation on operational issues.\n\ncertifications, regulatory requirements, and insurance coverage, all of which are critical to protect and preserve the Lady May for the benefit of this estate.\n\n2. Properly maintaining a yacht—and especially a yacht of the size and caliber as the Lady May—is not a straightforward task and requires the expertise of a competent yacht manager and crew (including a captain). Unlike a car, a yacht cannot simply be parked in a garage and then left on its own. The Lady May is a complex, multi-million dollar piece of machinery with numerous integrated and interdependent systems—including propulsion systems, navigational equipment, safety equipment, environmental systems, and systems related to the housing and entertainment of guests—all of which need to operate seamlessly in a marine environment (under all weather conditions) and must be kept in working order if the Lady May is to be successfully sold. Simply stated, without a seasoned yacht manager and crew, the Trustee would not be able to maintain the Lady May—and this is the case even though the Trustee, of course, will not \"use\" the Lady May pending an eventual sale.\n\n3. Critically, the Lady May must comply with numerous certification and regulatory requirements. For example, the Lady May has been constructed to Lloyds classification standards and in order to maintain her certificate of classification she must be annually surveyed to these standards by a Lloyds classification surveyor. Further, the Lady May is operated under Cayman Islands flag, and the Trustee understands that Cayman Islands laws require adherence to various safety and maritime conventions concerning safety (fire protection, life-saving equipment, etc.) and pollution (oil, air, and garbage). These conventions have their own certifications requirements, including annual surveys by a surveyor for the Cayman Islands to ensure compliance, and the Lady May is required to maintain evidence of this compliance when in U.S. waters.\n\n4. In addition, the insurance coverage for the Lady May—which insurance itself is critical to protect the Lady May—requires that the Lady May be properly maintained and crewed. For example, the hull & machinery (\"H&M\") policy requires a full-time crew of at least five persons (which, in this case, consists of a captain, an engineer, a first mate, a steward, and a deck hand). 6 Moreover, the protection & indemnity (\"P&I\") policy excludes from coverage any claims resulting from the owner's failure to keep and/or operate the Lady May in compliance with the applicable requirements of her Flag State (*i.e.*, the Cayman Islands), Class (*i.e.*, Lloyds), and certification. For obvious reasons, the Trustee cannot allow insurance coverage to lapse or fail to comply with the requirements under the applicable insurance policies. Not only would that put the Lady May at a risk of loss, but, absent proper insurance coverage, the Bridgeport Harbor Marina (and likely any other marina) would not allow the Lady May to dock, which, in the worst case scenario, could result in the Lady May being unmoored and allowed to drift out to sea (at which point she would become subject to maritime salvage laws).\n\n5. To maintain, preserve, and protect the Lady May, the Trustee has determined to hire Yachtzoo as the yacht manager, pursuant to the Management Agreement. Yachtzoo is the obvious and best choice for this task, as they were the yacht manager under the Lady May's prior ownership (*i.e.*, HK USA) and are thus already familiar with the yacht, its operation, and the applicable maintenance, insurance, and certification requirements. Indeed, since the Trustee secured ownership of the Lady May, Yachtzoo has already provided valuable services in procuring and extending the requisite insurance policies with respect to the Lady May, including an H&M policy and the P&I policy.\n\n6 As the Court is aware, the current captain of the Lady May is James Pizzaruso. *See* Docket No. 1302. The Trustee will continue to retain Mr. Pizzaruso as the captain of the Lady May.\n\n6. As further detailed below, Yachtzoo will provide a series of services required to maintain the Lady May, including technical services, compliance services, financial services, and human resources related to the crew. For these services, Yachtzoo will charge (a) a one-time setup fee in the aggregate amount of \\$9,050 and (b) a monthly management fee of \\$6,550. To be clear, in connection with the Management Agreement, the Trustee will necessarily incur various operational expenses, including crew salaries, insurance premiums, and materials and supplies for the yacht. Payment of these expenses will be processed by Yachtzoo under the Management Agreement—at cost and without a mark-up. The precise amount of these expenses will vary from month to month (and will depend on when certain payments, such as insurance premiums, come due). That said, based on the monthly operating expenses under the prior ownership of HK USA, those expenses are expected to range from approximately \\$100,000 to approximately \\$300,000 per month.7 Of course, the Trustee will work with Yachtzoo to minimize these expenses, while maintaining the Lady May in working order and ensuring compliance with applicable certifications, regulatory requirements, and insurance coverage.8\n\n7. Furthermore, as noted, the Lady May must have a proper crew of at least five individuals. As is customary for a yacht such as the Lady May, the crew is not directly hired by the yacht owner (here, the Trustee) but by a separate legal entity (here, FDS), which, in turn entered into the Crew Provision Agreement with the Trustee for the provision of crew services for the Lady May. For its services, FDS will charge a set-up fee of \\$3,500 and a monthly payroll fee of \\$910 (for a crew of five or less).9 The Crew Provision Agreement is a standard\n\n7 As the Court will recall, the Trustee was previously authorized to use up to \\$500,000.00 from the repair reserve to fund operational and maintenance expenses for the Lady May. *See* Docket No. 1608.\n\n8 For the avoidance of doubt, by this Motion, the Trustee is also seeking authorization to pay the reasonable operational expenses incurred in the ordinary course of maintaining and operating the Lady May.\n\n9 To be clear, the Trustee will also be responsible for funding the payment of crew salaries.\n\narrangement in the industry designed to protect the yacht owner from legal liability in connection with the employment of a yacht's crew. Notwithstanding the Crew Provision Agreement, however, under the Management Agreement, Yachtzoo is responsible for ensuring that the services provided by the crew are provided in a professional, timely, and efficient manner in accordance with sound maritime employment, payroll, and crew administration practices and (as the case may be) in accordance with the requests and/or instructions of the Trustee.\n\n8. Finally, the Trustee seeks approval of his entry into the Dockage Agreement with Bridgeport Harbor Marina for the month of April 2023, plus any reasonable extensions or renewals thereof. As noted, the Trustee intends to seek, in the near future, authorization to transfer the Lady May to Newport, Rhode Island, in order to have the remaining service of the sea valves performed, as well as to take advantage of Newport's free-trade zone to facilitate a sale of the Lady May. Accordingly, the Trustee has not entered into a long-term dockage agreement with Bridgeport Harbor Marina; however, it may become necessary to enter into one or more monthly extensions or renewals of the Dockage Agreement, depending on the exact timing of that transfer.\n\n9. The Trustee submits that for all these reasons, and as further detailed below, the Court should approve the Trustee's entry into, and performance under, the Yacht Maintenance Agreements, including paying the reasonable operational expenses incurred in the ordinary course of maintaining and operating the Lady May, in accordance with the Yacht Maintenance Agreements.\n\n### **JURISDICTION, VENUE, AND STATUTORY BASIS**\n\n10. 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*\n\n*of Reference* from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. This is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).\n\n11. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n12. The statutory basis for the relief sought in this Motion is section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n### **BACKGROUND**\n\n### **I. Ownership of the Lady May**\n\n13. On April 11, 2022, HK International Funds (USA) Limited, LLC (\"HK USA\") initiated an adversary proceeding by filing a Complaint [Docket No. 1, in Adv. Proc. No. 22- 5003] against the Debtor and Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. (\"PAX\"), asserting that HK USA is the owner of the Lady May.\n\n14. On September 23, 2022, the Trustee filed his *Answer and Counterclaims* [Docket No. 36 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003] (the \"Answer and Counterclaims\"). The Trustee's First Counterclaim sought a ruling pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 541 and 542 declaring that the Lady May is property of the Debtor's chapter 11 estate to be administered by the Trustee and ordering the surrender of the Lady May to the Trustee, all as a result of Justice Ostrager having already decided that the Debtor beneficially owns and controls the Lady May in a separate New York state court litigation by PAX against the Debtor prior to the petition date.\n\n15. On March 19, 2023, the Trustee filed his motion for partial summary judgment [Docket No. 146 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003] (the \"Partial SJ Motion\") and supporting materials, seeking summary judgment on the First Counterclaim. *See also* Docket Nos. 147, 148, and 150 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003.\n\n16. A hearing on the Partial SJ Motion was held on March 27, 2023. At the conclusion of the hearing, for the reasons stated on the record and further set forth in the Court's *Supplemental Memorandum of Decision in Support of Oral Ruling Granting Motion for Partial Summary Judgment* [Docket No. 177 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003], the Court issued an oral ruling granting the Partial SJ Motion. Also on March 27, 2023, the Court entered its order granting the Partial SJ Motion [Docket No. 172 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003] (the \"Partial SJ Order\"), finding, among other things, that the Lady May is the property of the Debtor's estate. 10\n\n### **II. Operation and Maintenance of Lady May**\n\n17. In order to operate and maintain the Lady May and to protect and preserve this valuable asset for the benefit of the Debtor's creditors pending a future sale, the Trustee has entered into the Management Agreement and the Dockage Agreement, and intends to enter into the Crew Provision Agreement, in each instance subject to obtaining approval of this Court.\n\nA. Management Agreement\n\n18. On April 5, 2023, subject to obtaining bankruptcy court approval, the Trustee entered into the Management Agreement with Yachtzoo, under which Yachtzoo provides various services required to maintain the Lady May, including technical services, compliance services, financial services, and human resources related to the crew. Among other things, Yachtzoo provides the following services under the Management Agreement:\n\n- Technical services, including, without limitation:\n\t- o monitoring vessel certificates and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations;\n\t- o coordinating with relevant Vessel Flag State and Port State authorities and insurance brokers;\n\t- o conducting technical inspections of the vessel;\n\t- o providing annual review of the vessel's maintenance and performance;\n\t- o reviewing shipyard contracts to ensure insurance is available; and\n\t- o providing a collaboration point for the vessel worklist to ensure efficient vessel maintenance.11\n\n10 *See* Partial SJ Order ¶ 2.\n\n11 *See* Management Agreement §§ 7.2, 7.3.\n\n- Compliance services, including, without limitation:\n\t- o ensuring that yacht operation is in compliance at all times and minimize risk of delays and/or fines;\n\t- o addressing any Flag State/Port State/Classification Society deficiencies;\n\t- o identifying any requirements for dispensation and follow-up to maintain compliance; and\n\t- o providing and monitoring safety management infrastructure.12\n- Financial services, including, without limitation:\n\t- o preparing annual budgets and monthly funds requests for transfers of funds to client accounts;\n\t- o processing payments and monitoring onboard payment functions;\n\t- o establishing and maintaining a bookkeeping system; and\n\t- o monthly reporting on expenditures.13\n- Human resources services related to the crew, including, without limitation:\n\t- o reviewing and monitoring crew employment contracts;\n\t- o ensuring all crew contractual documentation is in order at all times;\n\t- o monitoring crew leave and limiting risk of high payouts;\n\t- o dealing with crew disputes and liaising with crew employer as necessary; and\n\t- o crosschecking monthly crew payroll numbers and reconciling with contractual details and leave taken as necessary;\n\t- o insurance arrangement, pursuant to which Yachtzoo arranges appropriate insurance and renewals for the vessel and the crew. 14\n- 19. For the services to be provided under the Management Agreement, Yachtzoo\n\ncharges (a) a one-time set-up fee in the aggregate amount of \\$9,050 and (b) a monthly\n\nmanagement fee of \\$6,550. 15 In addition, as part of its financial services, Yachtzoo will process\n\npayments of operational expenses—including crew salaries, insurance premiums, and materials\n\nand supplies for the yacht—that the Trustee may become obligated to pay as part of maintaining\n\n12 *See id.* § 7.4.\n\n13 *See id.* § 7.1.\n\n14 *See id.* § 7.6.\n\n15 *See id.* Part I, § 10.1.\n\nand operating the Lady May. The precise amount of these expenses will vary from month to month (and will depend on when certain payments, such as insurance premiums, come due). Based on the monthly operating expenses under the prior ownership of HK USA, those expenses are expected to range from approximately \\$100,000 to approximately \\$300,000 per month.\n\n20. In addition, the Trustee requested, and Yachtzoo agreed, to certain modifications to its standard form of yacht management agreement, including (a) removing a provision that would have required the Trustee to indemnify Yachtzoo for third party claims arising out of the Yachtzoo performing services under the Management Agreement and (b) providing that this Court has exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or disputed arising out of the Management Agreement (and eliminating the arbitration clause that would otherwise have applied).\n\nB. Crew Provision Agreement\n\n21. In connection with the Management Agreement, and subject to obtaining bankruptcy court approval, the Trustee also intends to enter into the Crew Provision Agreement with FDS, under which the Trustee will appoint FDS as the employer of the crew for the Lady May. FDS will, in turn, hire the Lady May's crew. The Crew Provision Agreement is an essential agreement for any yacht owner, as it protects a yacht owner from legal liability in connection with the employment of a yacht's crew. Pursuant to the Crew Provision Agreement, FDS will provide, among other things, the following services:\n\n- The selection and engagement of personnel to work onboard of the Lady May;\n- Supervision and discipline of such personnel;\n- Administration of all personnel matters relating to the personnel, including overseeing and arranging medicals, training courses, travel to and from the vessel, and correspondence with external agencies;\n- Payroll administration relating to the employment of the personnel;\n- Enforcement of all operational, health and safety, drug and alcohol and other appropriate policies; and\n\n• Issuance of employment contracts. 16\n\n22. For the services to be provided under the Crew Provision Agreement, FDS will charge (a) a one-time set-up fee in the aggregate amount of \\$3,500 and (b) a monthly payroll fee of \\$910 (for a crew between zero and five) or \\$1,274 (for a crew between six and eight).17 As noted, the crew for the Lady May will consist of five individuals, so the lower monthly fee will apply in these circumstances.\n\n23. In addition, the Crew Provision Agreement reflects certain modifications to the standard form, including providing that this Court has exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or disputed arising out of the Crew Provision Agreement (and eliminating the arbitration clause that would otherwise have applied). Moreover, in order to minimize costs, FDS will only employ the minimum of five crew members.\n\n24. To be clear, notwithstanding the Crew Provision Agreement, Yachtzoo is responsible for ensuring that the services provided by the crew are provided in a professional, timely, and efficient manner in accordance with sound maritime employment, payroll, and crew administration practices and (as the case may be) in accordance with the requests and/or instructions of the Trustee.18\n\nC. Dockage Agreement\n\n25. In addition to the Management Agreement and Crew Provision Agreement, and subject to obtaining bankruptcy court approval, the Trustee has also entered into a Dockage Agreement with Bridgeport Harbor Marina for the period of April 1, 2023 through April 30, 2023. The Dockage Agreement provides in pertinent part, that the Trustee will pay a monthly\n\n16 *See* Crew Provision Agreement § 2.\n\n17 *See id.* at Schedule 1.\n\n18 *See* Management Agreement § 7.6.2.\n\ntotal of approximately \\$16,484.25 for the period of April 1 through April 30, 2023, to have access to a dock space and use the marina facilities incidental to the dockage of the Lady May at the Bridgeport Harbor Marina.19\n\n### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n26. The Trustee respectfully requests that the Court enter an order approving the Trustee's entry into, performance under, the (i) Management Agreements, (ii) the Crew Provision Agreement, and (iii) the Dockage Agreement (including any reasonable extensions or renewals thereof), including paying the reasonable operational expenses incurred in the ordinary course of maintaining and operating the Lady May, in accordance with such agreements.\n\n### **BASIS FOR RELIEF**\n\n27. The Trustee requests that the Court authorize and approve his entry into the Yacht Maintenance Agreements pursuant to section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 363(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code provides in pertinent part, that \"[t]he trustee, after notice and a hearing, may use, sell or lease, other than in the ordinary course of business, property of the estate.\" Under section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, courts require only that the trustee \"show a sound business purpose justifies such actions.\" *See, e.g.*, *Comm. of Equity Sec. Holders v. Lionel Corp. (In re Lionel Corp.)*, 722 F.2d 1063, 1070 (2d Cir. 1983) (\"The rule we adopt requires that a judge determining a § 363(b) application expressly find from the evidence presented before him at the hearing a good business reason to grant such an application.\"); *Comm. of Asbestos-Related Litigants v. Johns-Manville Corp. (In re Johns-Manville Corp.)*, 60 B.R. 612, 616 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1986) (\"Where the debtor articulates a reasonable basis for its business decisions (as\n\n19 *See* Dockage Agreement at 1.\n\ndistinct from a decision made arbitrarily or capriciously), courts will generally not entertain objections to the debtor's conduct\").\n\n28. In addition, a chapter 11 trustee has a \"statutory duty to protect and preserve property of the estate for the purpose of maximizing a distribution to creditors.\" *In re Ngan Gung Rest*., 254 B.R. 566, 570 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2000) (citing 11 U.S.C. § 1106(a)). As the Court has determined that the Lady May is property of the Debtor's estate, the Trustee is obligated to properly maintain, preserve, and protect the Lady May pending an eventual sale for the benefit of this estate.\n\n29. Properly maintaining a 152-feet luxury yacht such as the Lady May requires a seasoned yacht manager and an experienced crew—and this is true even though the Trustee will not \"use\" the Lady May pending an eventual sale. The Lady May is a complex piece of machinery with numerous integrated and interdependent systems, all of which need to operate seamlessly in a marine environment (under all weather conditions) and must be kept in working order if the Lady May is to be successfully sold.\n\n30. Critically, the Lady May must comply with numerous certification and regulatory requirements. For example, the Lady May has been constructed to Lloyds classification standards. Lloyds Register is one of the non-governmental organizations that establish and maintain technical standards for the construction of ships. Classification rules concern, among other things, material/ship structures, main and auxiliary machinery, control engineering systems, and electrical installations. In order to maintain her status as a Lloyds Class, the Lady May must be surveyed annually.\n\n31. The Lady May is registered in the Cayman Islands and operates under the Cayman Islands flag. The Flag State is responsible for incorporation of various conventions\n\n(including International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, and the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping) into statutory law and policing the implementation of statutes, codes and resolutions with respect to, among other thing, (i) ship construction, equipment and seaworthiness, (ii) manning levels, crew training and service conditions, (iii) signals, communications, and collision prevention arrangements, (iv) statutory surveys, audits, and/or certifications, and (v) regulation of risk to health and safety for work activities and accommodation spaces. These conventions have their own certifications requirements, including annual surveys by a surveyor for the Cayman Islands to ensure compliance. Moreover, the Lady May is required to maintain evidence of this compliance when in U.S. waters.\n\n32. In addition, the insurance coverage for the Lady May requires that the Lady May be properly maintained and crewed. For example, the H&M policy requires a full-time crew of at least five persons, and the P&I policy excludes from coverage any claims resulting from the owner's failure to keep and/or operate the Lady May in compliance with the applicable requirements of her Flag State, Class, and certification. It is critical for the Trustee to maintain, and remain in compliance with, insurance policies for the Lady May.\n\n33. Yachtzoo is the obvious and best choice for providing yacht management services under the circumstances, as they are already familiar with the Lady May, its operation, and the applicable maintenance, insurance, and certification requirements. Moreover, Yachtzoo will only charge modest fees for its services, namely (a) a one-time set-up fee in the aggregate amount of \\$9,050 and (b) a monthly management fee of \\$6,550. Of course, the Trustee will necessarily incur additional operational expenses in connection with the maintenance of the Lady May, such as crew salaries, insurance premiums, and materials and supplies for the yacht.\n\nHowever, to be clear, under the Management Agreement, all such expenses will be passed on to the Trustee at cost, without a mark-up by Yachtzoo. Yachtzoo will merely provide financial services to process such payments. As noted above, based on past experience, the Trustee anticipates that monthly operating expenses will range from approximately \\$100,000 to approximately \\$300,000 per month.\n\n34. Furthermore, the Lady May must have a proper crew of at least five individuals. Accordingly, the Trustee has determined to enter into a Crew Provision Agreement with FDS for the provision of crew services for the Lady May. As noted, this is a standard arrangement designed to protect the yacht owner from legal liability in connection with the employment of a yacht's crew.\n\n35. Finally, the Trustee requests approval of the Dockage Agreement with Bridgeport Harbor Marina for the month of April 2023, plus any reasonable extensions or renewals thereof. Currently, the Lady May is docked at the Bridgeport Harbor Marina, and the Trustee merely intends to continue the existing arrangement. If and when the Trustee intends to transfer the Lady May to Newport, Rhode Island, he will seek additional relief in that regard from this Court.\n\n36. The Trustee's entry into the Yacht Maintenance Agreements is a sound exercise of the Trustee's business judgment. The Trustee believes that Yachtzoo, FDS, and Bridgeport Harbor Marina are qualified to provide the necessary services to preserve and protect Lady May for the benefit of the Debtor's estate. In light of the foregoing, the Trustee submits that his entry into the Yacht Maintenance Agreements is appropriate and necessary and in the best interests of the Debtor's estate.\n\n37. Finally, the Trustee requests a waiver of the fourteen-day stay requirements under Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h), such that the Proposed Order be effective immediately upon entry\n\nthereof. For all the reasons set forth above, any delays in maintaining and preserving the Lady May could adversely affect the Lady May and the value that could ultimately recovered in an eventual sale.\n\n### **NO PRIOR REQUEST**\n\n38. The Trustee has not previously sought the relief requested herein from this or any other court.\n\n### **CONCLUSION**\n\n39. For all these reasons, the Trustee requests entry of an order approving the Trustee's entry into, performance under, (i) the Management Agreement, (ii) the Crew Provision Agreement, and (iii) the Dockage Agreement (including any reasonable extensions or renewals thereof), including payment of the reasonable operational expenses incurred in the ordinary course of maintaining and operating the Lady May, in accordance with the Yacht Maintenance Agreements.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\nWHEREFORE, the Trustee respectfully requests entry of the Proposed Order granting\n\nthe relief requested herein and such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and\n\nproper.\n\nNew Haven, Connecticut\n\n### Dated: April 5, 2023 LUC A.

Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 遗产的受托人（仅用于通知和通信）。\n\n2 目前，Lady May 船员的雇主 FDS 正在办理设立程序。因此，船员提供协议尚未签署。受托人获 FDS 的设立人 Trident Trust Marine Services Limited（特里登特信托海事服务有限公司）告知，FDS 将在\n\n协议（第“泊位协议”，并与管理协议及船员提供协议合称“游艇维护协议”），该协议于 April 4, 2023 与 BLD Waterfront Upland Owner, LLC（BLD滨水高地业主有限责任公司，第“布里奇波特港码头”）签订，其副本随附本动议作为附件4，包括其任何合理的延期或续期。为免生疑问，受托人还通过本动议请求授权支付根据游艇维护协议在维护和运营 Lady May 过程中正常业务范围内发生的合理运营费用。\n\n为支持本动议，受托人陈述如下：\n初步陈述3\n\n1. 既然本院已裁定 Lady May（以及 Lady May II）4 属于债务人破产财产，受托人必须确保 Lady May 在最终为本破产财产利益进行出售之前维持正常运转。本动议所请求的救济——即批准受托人订立并履行游艇维护协议——是实现该目标的关键第一步。5 如下文详述，若缺乏适当维护，Lady May 将面临失修风险，从而导致额外的维修费用和/或大幅降低成功出售的可能性。事实上，如无根据管理协议和船员提供协议提供的服务，Lady May 将不再符合适用的\n\n设立完成后立即签署船员提供协议。受托人将尽快提交已正式签署的船员提供协议副本。\n\n3 初步陈述中使用但未定义的首字母大写术语，具有本动议后文赋予其的含义。\n\n4 本动议所请求的救济仅限于 Lady May。受托人将在适当时候就 Lady May II 寻求救济。\n\n5 受托人拟就 Lady May 向本院寻求额外救济，包括授权其：(i) 将 Lady May 移至 Rhode Island（罗得岛州）Newport（纽波特），以进行海阀维修；(ii) 聘请销售经纪人；以及 (iii) 扩大对 Dexter White（德克斯特·怀特）的聘用范围，使之亦包括就运营问题提供咨询。\n\n认证、监管要求和保险保障；所有这些对于为本破产财产的利益保护和保存 Lady May 均至关重要。\n\n2. 对游艇进行适当维护——尤其是如 Lady May 这般规模和等级的游艇——并非一项简单任务，需要具备专业能力的游艇管理人和船员（包括船长）的专业知识。与汽车不同，游艇不能仅停放在车库中，然后任其自行搁置。Lady May 是一项复杂、价值数百万美元的机械设备，具有众多相互整合、相互依存的系统——包括推进系统、导航设备、安全设备、环境系统，以及与宾客住宿和娱乐相关的系统——所有这些系统均须在海洋环境中（在各种天气条件下）无缝运行，且如欲成功出售 Lady May，就必须保持其正常运转。简言之，如无经验丰富的游艇管理人和船员，受托人将无法维护 Lady May——即使受托人当然不会在最终出售前“使用”Lady May，情况亦是如此。\n\n3. 至关重要的是，Lady May 必须遵守众多认证和监管要求。例如，Lady May 是按照 Lloyds（劳氏）船级标准建造的，为维持其船级证书，必须每年由 Lloyds 船级验船师按照该等标准进行检验。此外，Lady May 悬挂 Cayman Islands（开曼群岛）旗帜运营，受托人了解到，开曼群岛法律要求遵守有关安全（消防、救生设备等）和污染（石油、空气和垃圾）的各项安全及海事公约。这些公约各自具有认证要求，包括由开曼群岛验船师进行年度检验以确保合规；Lady May 在美国水域时必须保有该等合规的证明。\n\n4. 此外，Lady May 的保险保障——该等保险本身对于保护 Lady May 至关重要——要求 Lady May 得到适当维护并配备船员。例如，船体与机械（“H&M”）保险单要求配备至少五人的全职船员（在本案中包括一名船长、一名轮机员、一名大副、一名服务员和一名甲板水手）。6 此外，保护与赔偿（“P&I”）保险单不承保因船东未能使 Lady May 按照其船旗国（即开曼群岛）、船级（即劳氏）及认证的适用要求进行维护和/或运营而产生的任何索赔。基于显而易见的原因，受托人不能允许保险保障失效，亦不能不遵守适用保险单项下的要求。这不仅会使 Lady May 面临损失风险，而且，如无适当的保险保障，布里奇波特港码头（以及可能任何其他码头）将不允许 Lady May 停泊；在最坏情况下，这可能导致 Lady May 被解缆并任其漂流出海（届时其将受海事救助法管辖）。\n\n5. 为维护、保存和保护 Lady May，受托人已决定根据管理协议聘请 Yachtzoo 作为游艇管理人。Yachtzoo 显然是完成该项任务的最佳选择，因为其在 Lady May 先前所有权人（即 HK USA）名下时即担任该游艇的管理人，因此已熟悉该游艇、其运营及适用的维护、保险和认证要求。事实上，自受托人取得 Lady May 所有权以来，Yachtzoo 已在取得和延展 Lady May 所需保险单方面提供了宝贵服务，包括一份 H&M 保险单和该 P&I 保险单。\n\n6 如本院所知，Lady May 现任船长为 James Pizzaruso（詹姆斯·皮扎鲁索）。见 Docket No. 1302。受托人将继续聘请 Pizzaruso 先生担任 Lady May 的船长。\n\n6. 如下文进一步详述，Yachtzoo 将提供维护 Lady May 所需的一系列服务，包括技术服务、合规服务、财务服务以及与船员有关的人力资源服务。Yachtzoo 就该等服务将收取：(a) 总额为 $9,050 的一次性设立费；以及 (b) 每月 $6,550 的管理费。为明确起见，就管理协议而言，受托人必然将发生各种运营费用，包括船员工资、保险费以及游艇材料和物资费用。该等费用将由 Yachtzoo 根据管理协议按成本处理，不加价。该等费用的确切金额将每月不同（并将取决于某些付款，如保险费，何时到期）。尽管如此，根据 HK USA 先前所有权期间的每月运营费用，预计该等费用每月约为 $100,000 至约 $300,000。7 当然，受托人将与 Yachtzoo 合作，以在维持 Lady May 正常运转并确保遵守适用认证、监管要求和保险保障的同时，尽量降低该等费用。8\n\n7. 此外，如前所述，Lady May 必须配备至少五人的适当船员。按照如 Lady May 这类游艇的惯例，船员并非由游艇所有人（本案中为受托人）直接雇用，而是由独立法律实体（本案中为 FDS）雇用；FDS 随后与受托人签订船员提供协议，为 Lady May 提供船员服务。FDS 就其服务将收取 $3,500 的设立费和每月 $910 的工资处理费（适用于五人或以下的船员）。9 船员提供协议是一项行业标准\n\n7 如本院所记得，受托人此前获授权从维修准备金中动用最高 $500,000.00，用于 Lady May 的运营和维护费用。见 Docket No. 1608。\n\n8 为免生疑问，受托人还通过本动议请求授权支付在维护和运营 Lady May 过程中正常业务范围内发生的合理运营费用。\n\n9 为明确起见，受托人还将负责为支付船员工资提供资金。\n\n安排，旨在保护游艇所有人免于承担与雇用游艇船员有关的法律责任。然而，尽管有船员提供协议，根据管理协议，Yachtzoo 仍负责确保船员提供的服务按照健全的海事雇佣、工资和船员管理惯例，并且（视情况而定）按照受托人的请求和/或指示，以专业、及时和高效的方式提供。\n\n8. 最后，受托人请求批准其于2023年4月与Bridgeport Harbor Marina（布里奇波特港码头）订立泊位协议，以及该协议的任何合理延期或续期。如前所述，受托人拟在近期寻求授权将Lady May（Lady May号游艇）转移至Rhode Island（罗得岛州）Newport（纽波特），以完成其余海水阀门的维修服务，并利用纽波特的自由贸易区便利出售Lady May。因此，受托人尚未与Bridgeport Harbor Marina订立长期泊位协议；但是，视该转移的确切时间而定，可能有必要对泊位协议进行一次或多次按月延期或续期。\n\n9. 受托人主张，基于所有上述理由以及如下文进一步详述，法院应批准受托人订立并履行游艇维护协议，包括根据游艇维护协议支付在维护和运营Lady May的正常业务过程中发生的合理运营费用。\n管辖权、审判地及法定依据\n\n10. United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格联邦破产法院）（以下简称“法院”）根据28 U.S.C. §§ 157和1334，以及United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格联邦地区法院）的移交常设命令，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\n11. 根据28 U.S.C. §§ 1408和1409，本区为适当审判地。\n\n12. 本动议所请求救济的法定依据为《破产法典》第363(b)条。\n背景\n一、Lady May的所有权\n\n13. 2022年4月11日，HK International Funds (USA) Limited, LLC（香港国际基金（美国）有限责任公司）（以下简称“HK USA”）向债务人及Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P.（太平洋联盟亚洲机会基金有限合伙企业）（以下简称“PAX”）提交诉状[Docket No. 1, in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003]，提起对抗程序，主张HK USA为Lady May的所有人。\n\n14. 2022年9月23日，受托人提交其答辩及反诉[Docket No. 36 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003]（以下简称“答辩及反诉”）。受托人的第一项反诉请求法院根据11 U.S.C. §§ 541和542作出裁决，宣告Lady May属于债务人第11章破产财产，应由受托人管理，并命令将Lady May交付受托人；其依据是，在申请日前，Ostrager法官已在PAX对债务人提起的另一纽约州法院诉讼中裁定，债务人实益拥有并控制Lady May。\n\n15. 2023年3月19日，受托人提交其部分简易判决动议[Docket No. 146 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003]（以下简称“部分简易判决动议”）及支持材料，请求就第一项反诉作出简易判决。另见Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003中的Docket Nos. 147、148和150。\n\n16. 法院于2023年3月27日就部分简易判决动议举行听证。听证结束时，基于庭审记录所述理由，以及法院《关于支持准予部分简易判决动议之口头裁定的补充裁决备忘录》[Docket No. 177 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003]中进一步阐述的理由，法院作出口头裁定，准予部分简易判决动议。同日，即2023年3月27日，法院录入其准予部分简易判决动议的命令[Docket No. 172 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-5003]（以下简称“部分简易判决命令”），其中认定，除其他事项外，Lady May属于债务人破产财产。10\n二、Lady May的运营和维护\n\n17. 为运营和维护Lady May，并在未来出售前为债务人债权人的利益保护和保全该项有价值资产，受托人已订立管理协议和泊位协议，并拟订立船员提供协议，各项均以获得本院批准为前提。\n\nA. 管理协议\n\n18. 2023年4月5日，以获得破产法院批准为前提，受托人与Yachtzoo（亚特祖）订立管理协议，根据该协议，Yachtzoo提供维护Lady May所需的各类服务，包括技术服务、合规服务、财务服务以及与船员有关的人力资源服务。除其他事项外，Yachtzoo根据管理协议提供以下服务：\n\n— 技术服务，包括但不限于：\n— 监测船舶证书并确保遵守适用法规；\n— 与相关船旗国和港口国主管机关及保险经纪人协调；\n— 对船舶进行技术检查；\n— 对船舶维护及性能进行年度审查；\n— 审查船厂合同，以确保可获得保险；以及\n— 为船舶工作清单提供协作平台，以确保高效维护船舶。11\n\n10 见部分简易判决命令第2段。\n\n11 见管理协议§§ 7.2、7.3。\n\n— 合规服务，包括但不限于：\n— 确保游艇运营始终合规，并最大限度降低延误和/或罚款风险；\n— 处理任何船旗国/港口国/船级社方面的缺陷；\n— 识别为保持合规所需的任何豁免要求及后续措施；以及\n— 提供并监测安全管理基础设施。12\n— 财务服务，包括但不限于：\n— 编制年度预算及每月资金请求，以便将资金转入客户账户；\n— 处理付款并监测船上付款职能；\n— 建立并维护簿记系统；以及\n— 每月报告支出。13\n— 与船员有关的人力资源服务，包括但不限于：\n— 审查和监测船员雇佣合同；\n— 确保所有船员合同文件始终齐备；\n— 监测船员休假并限制高额支出风险；\n— 处理船员争议，并在必要时与船员雇主联络；以及\n— 核对每月船员工资数额，并在必要时与合同细节及已休假期进行核对；\n— 保险安排，据此Yachtzoo为船舶和船员安排适当保险及续保。14\n\n19. 对于根据管理协议提供的服务，Yachtzoo收取：(a) 总额为$9,050的一次性设立费；及(b) $6,550的月度管理费。15 此外，作为其财务服务的一部分，Yachtzoo将处理受托人作为维护和运营Lady May的一部分可能负有支付义务的运营费用付款，包括船员工资、保险费以及游艇材料和物资费用。该等费用的确切金额将因月而异（并将取决于某些款项，例如保险费，何时到期）。根据HK USA此前所有权期间的月度运营费用，预计该等费用每月约为$100,000至约$300,000。\n\n12 见同上§ 7.4。\n\n13 见同上§ 7.1。\n\n14 见同上§ 7.6。\n\n15 见同上第一部分，§ 10.1。\n\n20. 此外，受托人提出请求，且Yachtzoo同意对其游艇管理协议标准格式作出若干修改，包括：(a) 删除一项原本要求受托人就Yachtzoo履行管理协议项下服务所产生的第三方索赔向Yachtzoo作出赔偿的条款；以及(b) 规定本院对因管理协议产生的任何索赔或争议享有专属管辖权（并删除原本适用的仲裁条款）。\n\nB. 船员提供协议\n\n21. 就管理协议而言，并以获得破产法院批准为前提，受托人还拟与FDS（FDS）订立船员提供协议，根据该协议，受托人将指定FDS为Lady May船员的雇主。FDS继而将雇用Lady May的船员。船员提供协议对任何游艇所有人均属必要协议，因为其保护游艇所有人免于承担与游艇船员雇佣有关的法律责任。根据船员提供协议，FDS将提供以下服务，其中包括：\n\n— 选择和聘用在Lady May船上工作的人员；\n— 监督和管理该等人员的纪律；\n— 管理与该等人员有关的所有人事事项，包括监督和安排体检、培训课程、往返船舶的旅行以及与外部机构的通信；\n— 管理与雇佣该等人员有关的工资事务；\n— 执行所有运营、健康和安全、毒品和酒精及其他适当政策；以及\n— 签发雇佣合同。16\n\n22. 对于根据船员提供协议提供的服务，FDS将收取：(a) 总额为$3,500的一次性设立费；及(b) 船员人数为零至五人时每月$910的工资服务费，或船员人数为六至八人时每月$1,274的工资服务费。17 如前所述，Lady May的船员将由五人组成，因此在此情形下适用较低的月费。\n\n23. 此外，船员提供协议反映了对标准格式作出的若干修改，包括规定本院对因船员提供协议产生的任何索赔或争议享有专属管辖权（并删除原本适用的仲裁条款）。此外，为尽量降低成本，FDS仅雇用最低限度的五名船员。\n\n24. 为明确起见，尽管有船员提供协议，Yachtzoo仍负责确保船员提供的服务按照健全的海事雇佣、工资及船员管理惯例，并且（视情况而定）按照受托人的请求和/或指示，以专业、及时和高效的方式提供。18\n\nC. 泊位协议\n\n25. 除管理协议和船员提供协议外，并以获得破产法院批准为前提，受托人还已与Bridgeport Harbor Marina就2023年4月1日至2023年4月30日期间订立泊位协议。泊位协议的相关部分规定，受托人将为2023年4月1日至4月30日期间支付每月总额约$16,484.25，以取得泊位空间并使用附随于Lady May停泊在Bridgeport Harbor Marina的码头设施。19\n所请求的救济\n\n26. 受托人谨请求法院作出命令，批准受托人订立并履行：(i) 管理协议；(ii) 船员提供协议；以及(iii) 泊位协议（包括其任何合理延期或续期），包括根据该等协议支付在维护和运营Lady May的正常业务过程中发生的合理运营费用。\n救济依据\n\n27. 受托人请求法院依据《破产法》（Bankruptcy Code）第 363(b) 条授权并批准其订立《游艇维护协议》（Yacht Maintenance Agreements）。《破产法》第 363(b)(1) 条的相关规定为：“受托人在通知并举行听证后，可以使用、出售或租赁财产遗产的财产，但正常营业过程中进行的使用、出售或租赁除外。”根据《破产法》第 363(b) 条，法院仅要求受托人“证明存在正当的商业目的足以证明此类行为的合理性”。参见，例如，Comm. of Equity Sec. Holders v. Lionel Corp. (In re Lionel Corp.), 722 F.2d 1063, 1070 (2d Cir. 1983)（“我们所采纳的规则要求，法官在裁定 § 363(b) 申请时，必须根据听证会上向其提交的证据明确认定，准许该申请具有正当的商业理由。”）；Comm. of Asbestos-Related Litigants v. Johns-Manville Corp. (In re Johns-Manville Corp.), 60 B.R. 612, 616 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1986)（“债务人就其商业决定提出合理依据时（而非作出任意或恣意决定时），法院通常不会受理对债务人行为的异议。”）。\n\n19 参见《停泊协议》（Dockage Agreement）第 1 页。\n\n28. 此外，第 11 章受托人负有“保护和保存破产财产，以最大限度地向债权人进行分配”的法定义务。In re Ngan Gung Rest., 254 B.R. 566, 570 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2000)（引用 11 U.S.C. § 1106(a)）。鉴于法院已认定 Lady May（“Lady May”号）属于债务人破产财产，受托人有义务在最终为该财产利益出售该游艇之前，妥善维护、保存并保护 Lady May。\n\n29. 妥善维护如 Lady May 这类长 152 英尺的豪华游艇，需要一名经验丰富的游艇经理和一支资深船员队伍——即使受托人在最终出售前不会“使用”Lady May，亦是如此。Lady May 是一套复杂的机械设备，具有众多一体化且相互依存的系统；所有该等系统均须在海洋环境中（在各种天气条件下）无缝运行，并且必须保持正常工作状态，Lady May 方能成功出售。\n\n30. 至关重要的是，Lady May 必须符合众多认证和监管要求。例如，Lady May 是按照 Lloyds（劳氏）分级标准建造的。Lloyds Register（劳氏船级社）是制定和维持船舶建造技术标准的非政府组织之一。船级规则涉及的事项包括材料／船舶结构、主机和辅助机械、控制工程系统以及电气装置。为维持其劳氏船级地位，Lady May 必须每年接受检验。\n\n31. Lady May 在 Cayman Islands（开曼群岛）登记，并悬挂开曼群岛国旗运营。船旗国负责将各项公约（包括《国际海上人命安全公约》、《国际防止船舶造成污染公约》以及《海员培训、发证和值班标准国际公约》）纳入成文法，并监督有关法规、规则和决议的实施，其中包括：(i) 船舶建造、设备和适航性；(ii) 配员水平、船员培训和服务条件；(iii) 信号、通信和防止碰撞安排；(iv) 法定检验、审计和／或认证；以及 (v) 对工作活动和住宿空间的健康与安全风险的监管。这些公约均有其各自的认证要求，包括由开曼群岛检验员进行年度检验以确保合规。此外，Lady May 在美国水域航行时，必须持有该等合规证明。\n\n32. 此外，Lady May 的保险保障要求该游艇得到妥善维护并配备船员。例如，H&M 保单要求配备至少五名全职船员，而 P&I 保单不承保因船东未能使 Lady May 按照其船旗国、船级及认证的适用要求维持和／或运营而产生的任何索赔。受托人维持 Lady May 的保险单并持续遵守该等保险单，至关重要。\n\n33. 在当前情况下，Yachtzoo（游艇动物园）显然是提供游艇管理服务的最佳选择，因为其已熟悉 Lady May、该游艇的运营，以及适用的维护、保险和认证要求。此外，Yachtzoo 对其服务仅收取适度费用，即：(a) 总额为 $9,050 的一次性设立费；以及 (b) 每月 $6,550 的管理费。当然，受托人还必然会产生与维护 Lady May 有关的额外运营费用，例如船员工资、保险费以及游艇材料和物资费用。\n\n但需明确的是，根据《管理协议》（Management Agreement），所有该等费用将按成本向受托人转付，Yachtzoo 不加收任何费用。Yachtzoo 仅将提供处理该等付款的财务服务。如上所述，根据过往经验，受托人预计每月运营费用约为 $100,000 至约 $300,000。\n\n34. 此外，Lady May 必须配备至少五名人员组成的适当船员。因此，受托人已决定与 FDS（FDS）订立《船员提供协议》（Crew Provision Agreement），由其为 Lady May 提供船员服务。如前所述，这是旨在保护游艇船东免于承担与雇用游艇船员相关法律责任的标准安排。\n\n35. 最后，受托人请求批准其与 Bridgeport Harbor Marina（布里奇波特港码头）就 2023 年 4 月订立的《停泊协议》，以及对该协议作出的任何合理延展或续期。目前，Lady May 停泊于布里奇波特港码头，受托人仅拟继续现有安排。如果以及当受托人拟将 Lady May 转移至 Rhode Island（罗得岛州）Newport（纽波特）时，其将就此向本法院寻求额外救济。\n\n36. 受托人订立《游艇维护协议》是对受托人商业判断的合理行使。受托人认为，Yachtzoo、FDS 和 Bridgeport Harbor Marina 均有资格提供为债务人破产财产利益保存和保护 Lady May 所必需的服务。鉴于前述情况，受托人主张，其订立《游艇维护协议》适当、必要，且符合债务人破产财产的最佳利益。\n\n37. 最后，受托人请求豁免《破产规则》（Bankruptcy Rule）6004(h) 规定的十四日期限，以使拟议裁定（Proposed Order）在作出后立即生效。基于上述所有理由，维护和保存 Lady May 的任何延误均可能对 Lady May 及其最终出售时可能收回的价值产生不利影响。\n\n此前未曾请求\n\n38. 受托人此前未曾向本法院或任何其他法院请求本案所请求的救济。\n\n结论\n\n39. 基于所有上述理由，受托人请求作出裁定，批准受托人按照《游艇维护协议》订立并履行：(i)《管理协议》；(ii)《船员提供协议》；以及 (iii)《停泊协议》（包括对该协议作出的任何合理延展或续期），包括支付在正常维护和运营 Lady May 过程中产生的合理运营费用。\n\n［本页余白系有意留空。］\n\n因此，受托人谨请求作出拟议裁定，准予本案所请求的救济以及法院可能认为公正且适当的其他及进一步救济。\n\nConnecticut（康涅狄格州）New Haven（纽黑文）\n日期：April 5, 2023 LUC A.

定义\n\n在本协议中，除非上下文另有要求，下列词语和表述具有本协议赋予其的含义：\n\n“协议”指本管理协议及其任何附表，并包括其原始签署版本，或不时经修订或补充的版本。\n\n“船长”指船舶的船长。\n\n“船员”指船上人员。\n\n“船员雇主”指船员雇佣、工资及雇佣管理服务提供商，该提供商可由所有人不时聘用，或应所有人的要求并代表所有人由管理人聘用，以提供本协议第二部分第7.6条规定的服务。\n\n“CSO”指公司保安员。\n\n“DPA”指指定岸上人员。\n\n“ISM”指《国际船舶安全营运和防止污染管理规则》。\n\n“ISPS”指《国际船舶和港口设施保安规则》。\n\n“管理人”指Yachtzoo Sarl（游艇动物园有限责任公司）。\n\n“Mini ISM”指船舶相关船旗国所定义的安全管理体系。\n\n“MLC”指《2006年海事劳工公约》。\n\n“所有人”指第一部分第1栏所述公司。\n\n“监管机构”指船旗国、船级社及港口国主管机关。\n\n“服务”指第一部分第8栏所列的管理服务，详见本协议第二部分第7条。\n\n“STCW

Connecticut（美国康涅狄格联邦地区破产法院）（“破产法院”）批准，Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）的chapter 11案件Case No. 22-50073正在该法院审理中。\n\n3. 协议基础\n\n在本协议期限内，管理人应作为所有人的代理人并代表所有人，就船舶提供服务。在不推翻本协议其他条款和条件的前提下，管理人有权采取其不时依其绝对酌情权认为为使其能够适当履行本协议项下职责而合理必要的行动。在本协议期限内，管理人应始终按照良好的游艇管理惯例行事；就本协议而言，“良好的游艇管理惯例”应包括但不限于管理人持续善意地促进所有人的最佳合法利益，并避免任何可能损害该等利益的作为或不作为（包括但不限于任何利益冲突或未遵守本协议第二部分第12条的规定）。\n\n4. 管理人的义务\n\n4.1. 管理人承诺尽最大努力迅速、适当且以专业方式提供服务，包括但不限于基于可靠信息行事，并合理审慎地考虑风险、可能性及替代方案。管理人对其雇员、代理人及分包商的监督承担唯一责任。\n\n但是，前提是管理人在履行本协议项下职责时，有权考虑其就不时委托其管理的所有船舶所承担的整体责任；尤其是在不影响前述一般性的前提下，管理人有权按照其依绝对酌情权在当时情况下认为公平合理的方式分配可用的物资、人力和服务；但进一步前提是，在任何时候，所有人的利益至少应与聘请管理人提供类似服务的其他人士的利益得到同等考虑。\n\n4.2. 管理人有权自费聘用其认为为促成服务履行所必需或适宜的专家和顾问（并有权任命与管理人有关联的任何人士），但须事先取得所有人的同意。管理人应就其不时聘用的任何该等人士的任何作为、不作为或疏忽，以如同该等作为、不作为或疏忽系由管理人自身作出同样的方式和程度承担责任。\n\n4.3. 管理人不会就船舶的所有权结构、与增值税有关的事项、税务及海关合规事宜向所有人提供建议。\n\n4.4. 管理人应在所有人提出要求后，立即向所有人或其代表提供与船舶及服务有关的所有文件和信息，并应在收到所有人或其代表的合理通知后，允许所有人或其代表（视情况而定）在正常工作时间内查阅管理人与船舶及/或服务有关的账目、账簿和记录。\n\n4.5. 管理人应立即将其知悉的、已导致或可能导致船舶延误及/或涉及第三方的索赔或争议的任何事件通知所有人和船长。\n\n4.6. 管理人应立即通知所有人和船长，并向所有人和船长充分、及时地告知关于船舶状况及监管合规的任何事项，该等事项妨碍或可合理预期会以任何方式妨碍船舶作为私人游艇的运营；以及在维持船舶及其船员就通常的船体和机器风险、保赔险风险、船员相关风险以及所有人及/或船长不时通知管理人认为须或宜就船舶的任何同时及/或预期运营投保的其他风险获得充分保险的情况下具有重大意义的任何其他事项，或管理人认为审慎起见须就船舶的任何同时及/或预期运营投保的其他事项。\n\n4.7. 在本协议期限内，管理人应始终自费维持其为适当履行本协议项下职责而可能被合理要求取得的、由适当主管机关颁发的有效授权、许可证、登记、许可或其他批准；管理人未能维持任何该等有效授权、许可证、登记、许可或其他批准，或维持该等文件发生任何延误，均不解除管理人在本协议项下的任何责任。\n\n5. 所有人的义务\n\n5.1. 所有人应指示其代表、顾问、船长及船员在管理人提供服务的范围内与管理人合作，并向管理人提供管理人为履行本协议规定的职责而可能合理要求的信息和文件。如管理人未及时且适当地获得成功完成其职责所需的上述信息或资料，管理人不对违反本协议承担责任。\n\n5.2. 在不限制第二部分第5.7条一般性的前提下，所有人应尽合理努力确保船舶船长遵守管理人管理指南的要求。\n\n5.3. 所有人根据本协议向管理人支付的所有款项，均应准时支付，不得抵销、提出反诉、附加条件或限制，并应无任何扣减或预扣，除非已事先获得管理人的书面同意。付款应以适用货币支付至管理人指定的银行账户。\n\n5.4. 所有人保证并将确保，所有人向管理人提供的所有资金均不会违反任何适用法律，或为打击“洗钱”而实施的其他监管措施或程序（定义见European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015（欧洲议会和理事会2015年5月20日）的Directive (EU) 2015/849（欧盟指令2015/849）第3段，或其经修订的版本）。所有人进一步同意提供管理人为进行尽职调查以确定资金来源和资金出处而合理要求的相关文件。管理人同意对该等信息严格保密，除非主管机关要求披露，或任何银行为依照第7.1条开立单独银行账户之目的要求披露。\n\n5.5. 如船东就出售或出租船舶作出安排，或就船舶、其所有权及运营的任何方面存在任何其他重大相关事实，船东应书面通知管理人。\n\n5.6. 船东应确保按照本协议第I部分所载服务说明以及第II部分第7.1条所述，向管理人提供充足资源，以便管理人履行其在本协议项下的责任。\n\n船长职责\n\n5.7. 无论在港内或海上，船长应始终就船舶及船上所有人员的妥善保管和福祉（包括但不限于船舶及其人员的安全与安保）享有完全权限并承担责任；船长还应根据船东、客户、宾客、乘客及其他船上人员的使用情况和天气状况，协助保持船舶在机械和外观方面处于良好状态。\n\n6. 保险\n\n6.1. 船东应通过根据第7.7条指示管理人办理，或自行作出安排，为船舶投保适当保险，并应保证船舶始终投保令管理人合理满意的保险，包括所有通常的船体和机器海上风险保险（包括船员过失）、超额责任保险、保护与赔偿风险保险（包括污染风险及船员保险）以及战争风险保险（包括保护与赔偿风险及船员风险）；该等保险应符合审慎船东就与船舶同类船舶的最佳惯例，并适当考虑船舶的同时和/或预期运营，由一流保险公司、承保人或协会承保。船东应在本协议期限内向管理人提供保险凭证副本（以下简称“船东保险”）。\n\n6.1.1. 船东保险（包括财产损失保险及保护与赔偿保险）应将管理人（以及经船东和承保人事先同意后，由管理人指定的任何第三方）列为就其各自权利和利益而言的共同被保险人，且条款应规定管理人或任何该等第三方均不就船东保险相关的保费或追加保费承担任何责任。\n\n6.1.2. 船东应于本协议生效日前、每个续保日以及（如适用）船东保险的每个分期付款日，向管理人提供令管理人合理满意的书面证据，证明其已遵守第6.1.1条项下义务。\n\n6.2. 管理人应自费，在本协议期限内及其终止后至少六（6）个月期间内取得并维持：(i) 按照游艇行业惯例条款提供的第三方责任保险；及(ii) 每项索赔金额不少于€500,000（Five hundred thousand Euro）的专业赔偿保险；在每种情况下，均应由船东合理满意的一流保险公司、承保人或协会承保。管理人应于生效日前，以及此后应船东要求时立即，向船东提供令船东合理满意的书面证据，证明其已遵守本条前半部分项下义务。\n\n7. 服务\n\n下文所列服务交付成果，是指在第I部分第8栏中已选定的服务。\n\n7.1. 财务管理\n\n管理人应建立船舶预算及簿记系统，持续记录船舶的所有运营支出并定期提供报告，同时确保高效的财务规划，并能够及时、高效地履行船舶的财务义务。除非船东另有指示，该系统应以US Dollar作为基础货币。管理人尤其应（但不限于）履行以下职能：\n\n7.1.1. 银行事务——为船东利益开立并维持一个独立的双币种（US Dollar和EURO）银行账户，用于船舶的管理和运营。管理人有权开立和管理该账户（以下简称“船舶账户”）。\n\n包括船东支付的款项及船舶租赁收入（如适用）在内的所有现金收入，均应存入船舶账户。船舶预算中规定的所有费用及其他项目，包括船员工资和管理人费用（除非第II部分第10.7条另有规定），均应从船舶账户支付。管理人应使用船舶账户中持有的资金，适时安排支付与船舶正常日常运营有关的发票。管理人应安排为船舶签发最多五（5）张信用卡和/或借记卡，供船长及船东不时指示的船员使用。\n\n7.1.2. 预算——编制一份为期十二（12）个月的预算草案，并在预算年度结束前不少于一个月提交船东批准。预算草案应反映管理人基于以下因素作出的合理预测，包括但不限于船舶过往财务数据、船舶预期运营及相关费用和支出，以及管理人可能获得的可比财务数据。如双方未能就年度预算达成一致，任何一方均可向另一方发出不少于一个月的通知终止本协议，其结果为本协议于当时预算期间届满时或通知期届满时终止，以较晚者为准。\n\n7.1.3. 船舶会计——如船舶相关的所有费用已列入船舶预算，或以其他方式根据本协议或经船东授权，均应予以核实、记录及结算。对于与船舶运营有关的第三方开具的所有发票，如存在任何争议项目，管理人应予以审查并进行协商；管理人还应确保船舶相关的所有费用（包括第II部分第7.1.6.1条所述的特别支出）均得到适当且充分的文件记录。零用现金及信用卡支出应在入账前予以核实和查询。\n\n7.1.4. 报告——管理人应按月编制并向船东交付船舶发生的所有支出的财务报表，以及预算使用报告、船舶账户当前余额和以滚动方式对船舶账户所持资金未来三（3）个月期间使用情况的预测。任何额外报告将按附件I——补充费用收费。\n\n7.1.5. 管理人在管理船舶过程中获得的所有折扣和佣金，均应贷记给船东。\n\n7.1.6. 资金管理：\n\n7.1.6.1. 如有合理必要，管理人有权就一项或多项未列入当时现行预算的特别项目，授权最高达三千欧元（€3,000.00）的特别支出（无论按总额计算，还是就同一费用项目或一组相关费用项目累计计算），而无需事先获得船东同意。管理人应立即将任何该等特别支出通知船东，并就此提供合理详细的理由说明。\n\n7.1.6.2. 尽管本协议载有任何规定，管理人在任何情况下均无需使用或承诺使用其自有资金为提供服务或船舶运营提供资金（管理人的办公费用除外）。\n\n7.1.6.3. 船东应不迟于相关月份开始后十（10）个银行工作日内，向管理人提供每个日历月所需资金。资金金额应以商定的船舶预算为基础。管理人保留根据船舶实际计划的变更（相对于管理人在编制当时现行预算时所获得的船舶计划）及相关资金需求，在合理必要时修订资金预测的权利。船东应在收到修订预算后十（10）日内，对任何修订的资金预测提出异议；在该期限届满后，视为船东已接受该修订。如管理人与船东在三十（30）日后仍无法就修订的资金预测达成一致，管理人可终止本协议。\n\n7.1.6.4. 尽管有上述规定，船东可不时自行决定，向管理人预支一笔或多笔用于船舶未来费用的款项，金额超过根据当时现行预算当时月份所需的资金；如发生此种情况，相关金额应由管理人在船舶账户中以信托方式为船东持有，管理人应在船舶费用到期时从该等金额中扣除该等费用；如该账户余额低于根据当时获批准预算支付未来月份到期的所有船舶费用所需的金额，管理人应在合理提前期限内书面通知船东。\n\n7.2. 技术支持\n\n管理人应提供人员监督船舶（包括船体、机械和设备）的维护及总体运行效率。管理人应履行下列职能：\n\n7.2.1. 维护——提供对船舶维护及性能的年度审查（船上技术检验）；定期审查船舶的计划维护系统（PMS），确保其符合适用船级社和制造商的要求，并就适当的技术计划安排向船长提供意见；审查计划内和计划外（紧急）维护记录及缺陷报告，建议适当的纠正措施，并就其实施向船长提供意见；在必要时进行损坏检验，建议适当的纠正措施，并就其实施向船东和船长提供意见；协调和管理保修索赔。\n\n7.2.2. 合规——定期监测船舶证书，并确保符合船级社和/或船旗国和/或其他主管机关（如适用）和/或制造商的适用技术法规。\n\n7.2.3. 协助——就供应商、承包商及分包商的选择、评估和聘用提供意见和协助。经船东事先同意，聘任管理人认为必要的技术顾问和检验员。\n\n7.2.4. 法定及保险——促进与船旗国、船级社、其他主管机关（如适用）以及保险经纪人和保险承保人的沟通并及时作出安排；协调船级社检验和船旗国合规检验（如适用）；使船舶及时适应适用法律、操作守则及其他监管要求的变化。\n\n7.2.5. 工作清单——监测并就与任何计划内及计划外（紧急）维护有关的工作清单事项，以及为以最有效率的方式完成工作项目而作出的任何安排提供意见，尤其包括审查并就船舶技术维护预算提供意见。\n\n7.3. 技术管理\n\n管理人应指定一名技术主管（“Technical Superintendent”），其应提供管理人认为适合或适用于游艇，或船东或船长要求的下列服务：\n\n7.3.1.

条承担责任的范围外，船东特此承诺并同意，其将承诺取得破产法院的命令，以禁止第三方就管理人依本协议条款履行任何服务而引起、造成或导致的针对管理人的法律诉讼；在每种情况下，该等法律诉讼以超出管理人根据第 II 部分第 6.2 条安排的保险所提供保险保障的范围为限。\n\n9.5. 特此明确约定，管理人的任何雇员、代理人或管理人员（包括管理人不时聘用的每一分包商）在任何情况下均不得\n\n无论何种情况下，对因其在履行职务过程中或与履行职务相关的任何作为、重大过失或故意不当行为直接或间接引起或导致的任何种类的损失、损害或延误，均不对船东承担任何责任；并且，在不影响第二部分第5条（船东的义务）上述规定普遍适用性的前提下，本文所载的每项免责、责任限制、条件及自由裁量权，以及适用于管理人或管理人据此享有的任何性质的权利、责任豁免、抗辩及豁免权，亦应可供管理人的每一该等雇员、代理人或管理人使用，并延伸保护按上述方式行事的该等人员；就上述目的而言，管理人应就任何该等人员的任何作为、重大过失或故意不当行为负责。\n\n9.6.

管理人可将其根据本协议承担的部分（但非全部）责任分包给具备适当资格的人员，但前提是，管理人在任何时候仍应负责按照本协议条款履行不时被分包的任何及全部责任。\n\n9.9. 除利益冲突外，如船东提出要求，管理人可参与该船舶的出售或租赁。\n\n9.10. 为免生疑义，对于生效日期之前发生的任何事件，船东不应对管理人或其任何雇员、代理人或管理人承担责任。此外，Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）仅以Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）财产的第11章受托人身份作为本协议的一方，而非以其个人身份。因此，管理人或其任何雇员、代理人或管理人不得以Luc A. Despins的个人身份或Paul Hastings LLP（保罗·黑斯廷斯律师事务所）为对象提出任何索赔。\n\n10. 报酬、收费及费用\n\n10.1. 船东应就根据本协议提供的服务，向管理人支付第一部分第6栏所规定的管理费作为报酬。对于船东要求的补充服务，如该等费用系与补充服务有关而合理产生，可按照本协议附件I收取补充费用。除非船东事先以书面形式提出要求，否则不得提供任何补充服务。管理费应按第二部分第10.8条的进一步规定按月后付。第一部分第9栏规定的设立费，应在管理人根据本协议开始受聘时按第二部分第10.8条的进一步规定支付。可报销费用应按第二部分第10.8条的进一步规定予以补偿。\n\n10.2. 管理费不包括VAT，如适用，应另行加收。\n\n10.3. 各方保留在本协议周年日每年一次请求调整管理费的权利。除非双方另行书面约定，该等调整应限于上调或下调（视情况而定），且不得超过英国国家统计局就上一历年公布的CPI比率。提出请求的一方必须就管理费的任何拟议变更，至少提前一个（1）月通知另一方。对管理费的任何变更仅在船东与管理人书面同意后方可生效。\n\n10.4. 如管理人从事本协议范围以外的工作，例如项目管理，除非双方同意就该等工作采用不同的收费结构，否则应按双方事先约定的日费率进行。\n\n10.5. 船东应根据附有发票副本的费用单，向管理人和/或其代表报销管理人为履行服务而适当且必要发生的所有合理差旅、住宿及国际旅行生活费用。任何超过四（4）小时的航空旅行应乘坐超级经济舱或商务舱（视供应情况而定）。对于当日超过六（6）小时的任何公路旅行，管理人有权考虑航班或过夜住宿等替代交通方式。住宿应为三星级或同等酒店。国际旅行生活津贴应按每日Five hundred Euro (€500)的标准收取，任何不足十（10）小时的日期应按比例计算。除本条另有规定外，管理费的支付应视为构成对管理人就其履行本协议项下义务所发生或产生的任何成本及费用的全部和完整补偿。\n\n10.6. 管理人可从船舶账户中自行报销其在履行服务过程中发生且根据本协议明确可报销的所有有文件证明的差旅、住宿及国际旅行生活费用。\n\n10.7. 管理人应在相关发票所涉日历月结束后十（10）日内，就管理费及可报销费用向船东提交发票，并附上全部证明文件；第一部分第9栏规定的设立费发票应在生效日期后五（5）日内提交给船东。每张发票的全额（除非船东对所开票金额的任何部分提出争议，在该情况下为相关发票中无争议的金额）应于收到相关发票后十五（15）个银行工作日内，以当日到账资金通过银行转账支付至相关发票中载明的管理人银行账户；就本协议而言，“banking day”是指除星期六和星期日外，非公众假日且摩纳哥和瑞士的商业银行正常营业的任何日历日。为免生疑义，船东银行出具的SWIFT确认文件应作为船东已适当履行其根据本协议支付相关金额义务的充分证据，且管理人银行收取的任何转账、银行或货币兑换费用应由管理人承担。\n\n10.8. 在不影响第二部分第10.7条普遍适用性的前提下，船东可不时自行决定向管理人预付其确定的作为未来管理费的金额；如属此种情况，相关金额应由管理人在船舶账户中以信托方式为船东持有并记入船东贷方，管理人应从该等金额中扣除根据第二部分第10.1条规定到期应付的任何管理费。如该账户余额低于足以支付下一期管理费的金额，管理人应在合理提前期限内书面通知船东。\n\n10.9. 在不影响第二部分第10.7条普遍适用性的前提下，船东可不时自行决定向管理人预付其确定的作为未来可报销费用的金额；如属此种情况，相关金额应由管理人在船舶账户中以信托方式为船东持有并记入船东贷方，管理人应从该等金额中扣除根据第二部分第10.1条规定到期应付的任何可报销费用。如该账户余额低于足以支付任何预期可报销费用的金额，管理人应在合理提前期限内书面通知船东。\n\n11. 终止\n\n11.1. 在遵守第二部分第11.2条并依照第二部分第2.1条的前提下，管理人根据本协议的任命应于生效日期起生效，并持续有效，除非及直至任一方（无论是否有理由）提前不少于三十（30）日向另一方发出书面通知予以终止。\n\n11.2. 本协议应在下列情形下无需通知即视为终止：(i) 该船舶出售给船东关联方以外的任何人——于船东不再是该船舶登记船东之日；或(ii) 该船舶成为实际全损，或被宣布为推定全损、和解全损或协议全损；或(iii) 该船舶被征用；或(iv) 在任何司法管辖区，就任一方作出清盘、解散、清算或破产命令且未在10个营业日内中止，或通过有关决议（但并非为不涉及资不抵债的重组或合并之目的）；或就任一方或其各自全部或实质上全部资产指定接管人、管理人、清算人或具有类似权限的其他人员；或其破产、停止营业，或因任何现有或预期财务困难而与其债权人订立任何特别安排或和解；但前提是，第(iv)项不因Ho Wan Kowk目前正在进行的第11章案件（即破产法院的Case No. 22-50073）而触发，在该案件中，船东已被任命为Ho Wan Kwok财产的第11章受托人。\n\n11.3. 如船东应付或到期应付管理人的任何款项逾二十（20）日仍未支付，管理人可向船东发出书面通知，暂停履行服务。\n\n11.4. 如船东未履行其根据本协议承担的义务，管理人可向船东发出违约通知，要求其在切实可行的情况下尽快补救。如船东未能在收到该等通知后三十（30）日内，以令管理人合理满意的方式补救违约，管理人有权以书面通知立即终止本协议。\n\n11.5. 如管理人未能履行其在本协议项下的义务，船东可向管理人发出违约通知，要求其在切实可行的情况下尽快补救。在管理人收到该等通知之日起三十（30）日内未能使船东合理满意地补救违约的，船东有权以书面通知立即终止本协议；船东可自发出违约通知之日起暂停支付管理费。尽管有上述规定，如管理人的相关违约行为：(i) 依船东的合理意见无法补救，或(ii) 构成对本协议的重大违约，船东可通过书面通知立即终止本协议。\n\n11.6. 管理人在终止日期后应船东（或其代表）要求进行的任何工作，应按照当时有效费率表中公布的收费标准执行。\n\n11.7. 对于船东因依照本第11条暂停或终止而遭受的任何性质的损失，管理人不承担任何责任。\n\n11.8. 本协议的终止不影响双方在终止日期前已产生的所有权利。\n\n11.9. 尽管本协议载有任何规定，如船东以违反船旗国和/或船舶运营及航经地点的任何法律和法规的方式运营船舶，且管理人已在合理提前期限内将相关监管合规要求告知船长，管理人保留立即终止本协议的权利。\n\n11.10. 无论因何原因终止本协议，管理人应立即向船东交付下列各项：\n\n(a) 属于船舶且当时仍由管理人和/或其代理人及分包商（视情况而定）持有或控制的所有证书、日志、记录及其他文件（原件）；\n\n(b) 管理人和/或其代理人及分包商（视情况而定）在履行服务过程中编制的、与船舶及其运营具体相关的所有报告、记录、笔记、账目及其他文件（原件或经认证的副本）。\n\n11.11. 无论因何原因终止本协议，管理人应船东要求，就将船舶管理移交给新管理人一事向船东提供合理协助。\n\n11.12. 本协议终止时船舶账户中剩余的任何正余额，应在该等终止后五（5）日内返还船东。\n\n230101 YZ 管理协议\n\n12. 商业道德、反贿赂及反腐败\n\n12.1. 管理人向船东保证、确认并承诺，在本协议期限内：\n\n(a) 其不得且将促使其高级职员、雇员、受雇人员、经理、代理人和/或分包商均不得从事构成贿赂或腐败（无论作为提供方或接受方）的任何活动、做法或行为，或可能违反任何相关反贿赂或反腐败法律的任何做法（包括但不限于经修订的（英国）《2010年反贿赂法》以及经修订的（美国）《1977年反海外腐败法》）；\n\n(b) 其已制定并将维持相关程序，并将促使其各代理人和/或分包商已制定并将维持相关程序（该等程序应足以符合经修订的（英国）《2010年反贿赂法》之目的），以防止与其中任何一方有关联的任何人士实施会导致触犯任何该等反贿赂或反腐败法律的任何行为，并应船东要求向其提供该等程序的副本；\n\n(c) 其将不时应船东要求，以书面确认其已遵守本第二部分第12.1(a)条及第12.1(b)条项下的承诺；以及\n\n(d) 其应立即以书面通知船东其知悉的对第二部分第12.1(a)条或第二部分第12.2条的任何违反或声称违反，或如管理人有理由相信其或其任何高级职员、雇员、受雇人员、经理、代理人和/或分包商已收到要求或请求支付任何款项或给予任何有价值之物，或以其他方式被招揽作出本第二部分第12.2条进一步规定的任何付款或给予任何有价值之物。\n\n12.2. 在不影响第二部分第12.1条一般性的前提下，管理人向船东保证、确认并承诺，其未曾提出、支付或承诺支付，且在本协议期限内不会直接或间接向船东团队的任何成员（包括该成员的任何亲属、关联方或联系人士）提供、支付或承诺支付任何款项，或给予任何有价值之物；亦不会向任何第三方作出上述行为，同时明知或意识到存在高度可能性，该等款项或有价值之物将被直接或间接提出、支付、给予或承诺给予船东团队的任何成员（包括该成员的任何亲属、关联方或联系人士），其目的在于影响相关船东团队成员的任何行为或决定，或诱使相关船东团队成员利用其影响力影响他人的任何行为或决定，以取得与服务有关的任何不当利益，而管理人原本无权根据本协议取得该等利益。\n\n就本条而言，“船东团队”系指船长、任何船员成员（无论为永久或临时受雇或订约），以及船东的所有及任何董事、高级职员、雇员、顾问、代理人、承包商或供应商。\n\n12.3. 管理人或其任何高级职员、雇员、受雇人员、经理、代理人和/或分包商对本第12条的任何违反，均构成对本协议的重大违约。\n\n13. 其他\n\n13.1. 本协议具有人身专属性，未经另一方事先书面同意，任何一方均不得全部或部分转让本协议。\n\n13.2. 任何一方根据或依照本协议向其他方交付的每一份文件、文书、证书、陈述、通知、请求、要求、同意或其他通讯，均应以英文作出。\n\n13.3. 非本协议当事方的任何人士，均无权根据《1999年合同（第三方权利）法》直接强制执行本协议条款。尽管有上述规定：\n\n(a) 第二部分第8.2条所列人士，就其权利可能因未经授权披露该条所述信息和文件而受到侵害的范围而言，为本协议获准的第三方受益人，且该等人士享有完整的权利、权力及授权，可如同其为本协议当事方一样强制执行第二部分第8条的规定。\n\n13.4. 本协议任何规定均不得被视为在任何目的下构成双方之间的合伙或合资企业。\n\n13.5. 除非经双方签署或代表双方签署书面协议或文书，本协议不得修订、补充或修改。\n\n13.6. 本协议中任何被任何有管辖权法院实际适用的适用法律所禁止、违法或不可执行的规定，应在该等法律要求的范围内从本协议中分离，并在不修改本协议其余规定的情况下尽可能使其失效。但是，如任何该等适用法律的规定可以放弃，双方特此在该等法律允许的最大范围内予以放弃，以使本协议成为可依其条款执行的有效且具有约束力的协议。\n\n13.7. 各方应自行承担其就本协议的拟订、谈判及订立所产生的成本和费用（包括但不限于任何法律费用及实际支出）。\n\n13.8. 本协议可签署任意数量的副本，双方亦可分别在不同副本上签署；每份经如此签署及交付的副本均构成正本，但所有副本共同构成同一份协议。\n\n13.9. 本协议项下的任何通知均应以书面送达，并可通过电子邮件、挂号或记录邮寄或专人送达。双方的送达地址如下：\n\n船东：\nLuc A.

DESPINS（卢克·A·德斯平斯），作为 HO WAN KWOK（郭文贵）遗产的第11章受托人，其地址位于 c/o Paul Hastings LLP（宝盛律师事务所）, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York, 10166（“LDS”）；\n\n（2）FDS46 CREW SERIES LLC（FDS46船员系列有限责任公司），其注册办事处位于 Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro, Marshall Islands MH96960（“FDS”）。\n\n鉴于：\n\n（1）LDS 是船舶“Lady May”的船东／运营人，该船舶在 Cayman Islands（开曼群岛）登记，正式编号为745195；LDS 希望聘请 FDS 的服务，以雇佣并支付操作和运营该船舶所需人员（定义见本协议）的报酬。\n\n（2）FDS 已同意根据并受下述条款约束，雇佣 LDS 所要求的该等人员。\n\n现协议如下：\n\n1. 委任\n\nLDS 同意自 April 2023 当日起（“开始日期”），委任 FDS 按 LDS 的要求雇佣人员在各船舶上工作。本协议须经 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格州联邦破产法院）批准，HO WAN KWOK（郭文贵）的第11章案件，即案号 22-50073，正在该法院审理。为免生疑，LDS 对开始日期前发生的任何事件不对 FDS 承担任何责任。此外，Luc A. Despins 先生仅以 HO WAN KWOK 遗产第11章受托人的身份作为本协议一方，而非以其个人身份。因此，FDS 不得就任何事项向 Luc A. Despins 先生的个人身份或 Paul Hastings LLP 提出任何索赔。\n\n2. 服务\n\nFDS 将提供以下服务：\n\n2.1 甄选及聘用人员。\n\n2.2 监督人员的工作效率。\n\n2.3 对人员进行纪律管理，包括但不限于申诉、上诉、书面警告及解雇。\n\n2.4 管理与人员有关的一切人事事项，包括但不限于监督和安排体检、培训课程及往返船舶的旅行、日常行政管理，以及与外部机构（包括但不限于 HMRC）的通信。\n\n2.5 与雇佣人员有关的薪资及行政管理，包括但不限于工资总额至净额的计算及支付工资、费用及所有相关扣除款项，包括但不限于工会会费、养老金及法定扣除款项。\n\n2.6 执行 LDS 制定的所有运营、健康与安全、毒品与酒精及其他适当政策。\n\n2.7 根据相关标准格式合同签发雇佣合同。\n\n2.8 LDS 就雇佣人员以运营各船舶而可能合理要求的所有其他任务。\n\n3. 分包合同\n\n经 LDS 事先书面同意，FDS 有权将与其雇佣人员有关的全部或任何行政任务分包给一个或多个第三方。为免生疑，无论任务是否分包给第三方，雇佣合同仍由 FDS 持有。\n\n4. 付款及汇款\n\n4.1 FDS 将就根据本协议提供的服务，按附表1所详述的每名雇员每次薪资处理收取约定费用。该费用应于收到按每次已处理薪资开具的月度发票后支付，并自开始日期起固定一年。所有费用应与工资资金转移同时全额支付。工资单外付款、重新处理工资单及银行费用将另行收取，且由 LDS 负责。\n\n此后，该费用将于开始日期的周年日每年审查一次。\n\n4.2 LDS 同意并将不时确保指定银行账户中有充足的已结算资金，以使 FDS 能够履行与执行本协议有关的所有承诺，包括支付雇员工资及支付从同一雇员工资中扣除的所有款项，以及涵盖雇主对任何养老金基金或其他约定缴款义务的所有资金。收到 FDS 的适当通知后，应立即执行该等指示；收到 LDS 的适当通知后，应立即转移资金。\n\n4.3 FDS 应提供详细的月度发票。\n\n5. 保险\n\n5.1 LDS 同意确保，根据本协议雇佣的所有人员在船上、往返船舶途中及受雇期间参加课程时，均获得在职死亡、人身意外及健康保险的全面保障。LDS 应提供证据证明 FDS 被列为共同被保险人。所有免赔额均由 LDS 承担。\n\n5.2 LDS 进一步同意确保，FDS 根据本协议条款雇佣以提供服务的所有人员，均按照法定要求受 LDS 为雇主责任和公众责任所作保险安排的保障。\n\n5.3 按照海事行业惯例，LDS 应确保其代表 FDS 安排该等保险时，FDS 就其因提供本协议所述服务而可能遭受、承担或产生的一切诉讼、费用、索赔、要求、损失、收费及责任，无论其如何产生，均获得赔偿并免受损害。\n\n6. 期限及终止\n\n6.1 除根据本第6条提前终止外，本协议应持续有效，直至 FDS 为在本协议涵盖的任何船舶上服务而雇佣的人员最后一期雇佣期终止之日。\n\n6.2 尽管第6.3条和第6.4条另有规定，LDS 和 FDS 均有权向另一方发出不少于三十（30）日的书面通知，说明其退出意图，从而退出本协议。\n\n6.3 如任何一方违反或允许违反本协议任何条款，且该等违约能够补救但在收到另一方书面通知后二十一日内未予补救，本协议可不经通知而终止。\n\n6.4 如任何一方进入清算或被清盘（重组或合并除外），或与其债权人达成任何和解或安排，本协议应终止；但前提是，本条不因目前待决的 HO WAN KWOK 第11章案件（即在 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut 审理的案号 22-50073）而被触发；在该案件中，LDS 已被任命为 HO WAN KWOK 遗产的第11章受托人。\n\n6.5 如 LDS 未遵守第4条所详述的付款及汇款条款，FDS 有权解除本协议。LDS 应有七日时间遵从资金请求；如未按所述收到该等资金，FDS 有权提前两日通知解除本协议。\n\n6.6 如 Lady May 出售给第三方，LDS 亦可于该出售发生时终止本协议，且该终止自该出售发生时生效。\n\n6.7 任一方根据第6.3、6.4、6.5或6.6条终止本协议，均不影响任一方截至终止日可能已对另一方产生的任何其他权利。\n\n7. 保密\n\n本协议双方均应对与另一方或其业务有关的信息予以保密，并将其视为机密；未经另一方事先书面同意，不得向任何第三方披露。\n\n8. 保证\n\n各方保证其有权订立本协议，且已取得作出该等订立所需的一切批准；但 LDS 订立本协议须经 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut 批准。\n\n9. 不可抗力\n\n如发生国家紧急状态、战争、禁止性政府规例，或任何超出双方或其中任何一方合理控制范围的其他原因，致使本协议无法履行，双方均应解除其各自义务；届时，本协议项下到期的所有款项应立即支付。\n\n10. 可分割性\n\n如本协议任何条款被任何司法或其他主管机关宣布为无效、可撤销、非法或以其他方式不可执行，或任一方从任何主管机关收到表明上述效力的指示，双方应以实现双方意图且不违法的合理方式修改该条款。\n\n11. 完整协议\n\n各方确认，本协议载有双方之间的完整协议，且其未依赖另一方或其雇员或代理人向其作出的任何口头或书面陈述，并已就与其有关的一切事项自行进行了独立调查。\n\n12. 通知\n\n任何一方应向另一方送达的任何通知，均应以预付费挂号投递或挂号邮寄方式寄送至本协议首页所示相关方地址，或以传真、电子邮件或电传方式发送；如以邮寄方式发送，应视为收件人在寄出后七十二小时内收到；如以传真、电子邮件或电传方式发送至收件人的正确传真号码、电子邮件号码或电传号码（并具有正确回铃），应视为收件人在发送后二十四小时内收到。\n13. 标题\n\n本协议所载标题仅供参考，不应构成本协议的一部分，且不得视为对其所涉条款含义的任何指示。\n14. 转让权\n\n本协议及其项下所有权利均不得由任何一方转让或移转。\n15. 准据法和管辖权\n\n15.1 本协议应受塞浦路斯共和国法律管辖并依其解释，并就所有目的而言应视为在塞浦路斯订立。\n15.2 各方均接受 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区破产法院）的专属管辖。\n16. 费用\n\n各方应自行承担其因本协议而发生的任何成本和费用。\n附件1－费用\n\n设立费 $3,500.00\n\n每月工资单处理费：0－5名船员为 $910.00\n\n6－8名船员为 $1,274.00\n\n上述费用应于收到按已处理工资单开具的月度发票时支付。该等费用应在转移薪资资金的同时全额支付。\n\n工资单外付款将收取额外费用，银行费用由客户负责。\n\n临时费用\n\n重新处理工资单：$300\n\n高级人力资源支持：按实际耗用时间计费\n\n上述费用应于收到月度发票时支付。\n\n兹证明，本协议已于第一页最先载明的日期签署。\n\n由 LUC A.

代表所有人\n\n于＿＿日签署\n\nBLD Waterfront Upland Owner, LLC\nCase 22-50073 Doc 1637 Filed 04/05/23 Entered 04/05/23 12:23:17 Page 55 of 62\n条款和条件\n\n本协议由码头作为第一方，与船舶、其所有人及代理人（合称“所有人”）作为第二方，就船舶在 Bridgeport Harbor Marina（布里奇波特港码头）的停泊事宜，按申请书中约定的期限订立。除上下文另有不一致外，复数词包括单数词，单数词包括复数词。双方同意，本协议并非与不动产有关的租赁或其他出租协议。\n\n鉴于该期限内应付总额（无论船舶在该期限的全部、部分或任何时间是否停泊于码头）及本协议所载相互承诺，码头：(a) 授予所有人使用码头内毗邻码头的一个空间（“泊位”）的许可，仅供船舶停泊，不得用于任何其他目的，亦不得供任何其他船舶或物品使用；以及(b) 授予所有人在码头停泊船舶的许可（合称“许可”）。指定泊位的期限自起始日开始，至终止日届满。所有预付款项，包括该期限最后一个月的款项，均于支付时即已赚取且不予退还。其余应付总额将按月按比例计算，所有人应于每月第一日或之前预先支付每月按比例计算的款项。船舶在本协议适用期限届满后仍停泊于码头的，将按届时现行的每日停泊费率收费，直至船舶被移离。保证金应由码头为其自身账户持有，以确保第二方全面和忠实履行本协议。于该等许可期满时应返还给所有人的任何保证金，应在十五（15）日内返还给所有人，但码头可将其持有的任何款项抵扣所有人账户中的任何未付余额。未签署协议且未全额付款，不予预留泊位；款项必须于占用泊位前全额收到。停泊费不予退还。无论船舶于该期限前或期间是否出售，所有人均应全额支付泊位费用。\n\n所有发票均应于收到时到期应付。如向所有人开具的所有费用（包括还款）在收到发票后第5日仍未支付，第二方应自收到之日起向码头支付每日 $500 的“服务费”。服务费应持续累积，直至包括在首次产生逾期费后开具的费用在内的所有费用均已全额支付。所有因资金不足而被退回的支票均将收取 $50.00 的费用。夏季期间，所有期限协议均须缴纳1.5%的环境费，每份协议最高为 $75。\n\n如码头认为船舶或其吃水对于该泊位而言过大或过小，或基于其自行决定的任何其他原因，码头保留重新分配泊位的权利。在任何情况下，所有人均不得在任何泊位之间转移船舶。本协议可由码头自由转让。如所有人预计船舶将长期离开泊位，码头有权在该期间许可他人使用该泊位。本协议不得由所有人转让；所有人试图全部或部分转让本协议项下产生的任何许可或特权的，均属无效。如所有人使用码头认定为数量过多的电暖器或空调，所有人除停泊费中已包括的费用外，可能还须支付电费。\n\n所有人特此授权码头在任何时候从所提交的信用卡／借记卡账户中扣取所有人在该期限内发生的任何及全部码头费用和收费，或与船舶有关的任何其他人员（包括所有人的代理人和船员）发生的任何及全部码头费用和收费。所有人确认已签署并向码头交付信用卡／借记卡签购单，以便支付本款项下的款项。此外，如向所有人开具的费用和收费在交付账单后的次月第5日下午5:00前未获全额支付，第二方授权码头从该卡中扣取所开票金额加逾期费。所有人及代理人确认已签署并向码头交付信用卡／借记卡签购单，以便支付本款项下的款项。\n\n尽管本协议载有任何规定，所有人放弃付款催告、终止和撤销通知所需的一切通知，双方另行约定如下：\n\nA. 如发生下列情形，码头可终止或撤销本协议项下授予的许可，所有人应于向所有人送达终止或撤销书面通知后立即将船舶移离码头：\n\n- 1. 船舶所有人未按时支付本协议项下任何到期应付款项；\n- 2. 船舶所有人违反本协议的任何条款、期限或条件；\n- 3. 船舶所有人或其宾客、供应商、承包商或船员拒绝或未能遵守或遵从码头的任何规则和规定；\n- 4. 船舶所有人或代理人将本协议或本协议授予的一项或多项许可全部或部分转让或试图转让给第三方；或\n- 5. 码头自行酌定认为，码头泊位或其任何部分因任何原因已不安全或不能使用，或可能不安全或不能使用；或\n- B. 码头可自行决定（无论基于任何理由或无理由）终止或撤销本协议授予的许可，且船舶所有人应于向其送达书面通知后十（10）日内将船舶移离码头。\n\n如船舶所有人未按时支付本协议项下任何到期应付款项，或船舶所有人违反本协议的任何条款或任何期限和条件，码头应享有本协议及适用的现行或今后存在的法律所规定的一切权利和救济。\n\n双方同意，船舶本身负责履行并遵守本协议的所有条款、期限和条件，并进一步负责履行船舶所有人在本协议项下的全部义务和责任。船舶所有人、其继承人、船员、承包商和／或宾客根据本协议应向码头支付、因本协议产生或与本协议有关的任何及全部款项，亦应构成对船舶的收费。在不影响其他一切救济的前提下，码头亦可依照 Connecticut（康涅狄格州）法律行事，和／或执行由 Connecticut 和／或联邦法律设立或认可的任何及全部留置权；或者，如适用，码头可根据 Connecticut 关于遗弃船舶的法律，即 Connecticut General Statutes（康涅狄格州一般法规）第 15-140c 条，对船舶采取行动。本协议任何内容均不得解释为码头放弃 Connecticut 或联邦法律设立或认可的任何权利。码头可选择针对船舶提起对物诉讼，并针对船舶所有人和代理人，或其任何继受人，亲自提起诉讼，以追究违反本协议的责任，并执行本协议的任何及全部条款、期限和条件。本协议规定的以及 Connecticut 和联邦法律规定的所有救济均为累积性且非排他性救济。\n\n在任何时候，船舶所有人和代理人均保有对船舶的排他性照管、保管和控制权，并对船舶承担唯一责任。码头对船舶的安全操作、保管、系泊、停靠或维护不承担任何责任。船舶所有人对船舶承担唯一责任，并负责防止未经授权之人进入船舶。本协议不包含码头提供或设置现场安保、警卫或监控的任何规定。尽管码头将作出合理努力提供尽可能安全的设施，船舶所有人同意，码头不应因发生在码头内或船舶上的盗窃、故意破坏或其他犯罪行为而被追究责任。\n\n船舶所有人及其继承人、宾客、供应商、承包商或船员应遵守随附的现行码头规则和规定，以及其任何变更、修订或修改。码头保留随时通过张贴或向船舶所有人送达通知而变更和修改该等规则和规定的权利。\n\n* “码头”一词系指本协议第 1 页申请表中列作码头的实体，以及各该实体的所有人、经营者、雇员、代理人和任何关联方、继受人及受让人。\n\n船舶所有人特此确认，码头及其设施可能在本协议期限内被指定用于一项或多项特别活动，包括但不限于船展。船舶所有人和船舶同意，在收到码头不少于十五（15）日前发出的书面通知（“通知”）后，船舶应由船舶所有人自负费用，于通知所规定的日期及期间内（不超过 30 日）移离码头；且在该期间内，船舶所有人和船舶均不享有本协议规定的任何权利。船舶所有人账户将按通知所列权利被暂停期间的天数，获得相应的按比例金额抵扣。\n\n所有外部承包商均须向码头主管报到，未经码头事先批准，不得在码头内对船舶进行任何作业。每名承包商均须提供金额等于 Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) 的保险证明，并将码头列为“附加被保险人”。必须始终维持充分的工伤赔偿保险（或其联邦等同保险）和／或伤残保险保障。码头保留制止任何对环境有害、干扰其他码头客户或未经批准的承包商作业的权利。\n\n在 Fairfield County（费尔菲尔德县）、Connecticut 发布指定风暴警报后八（8）小时内，或在码头向船舶所有人通知重大风暴或天气事件即将来临后，船舶所有人应将船舶移离码头。如船舶所有人授权码头、其管理人员、经营者、雇员或代理人重新安排其泊位，并采取码头、其管理人员、经营者、雇员或代理人认为适当的任何及全部措施，以更妥善地固定船舶，并尽量减少对船舶、码头财产、私人财产及环境的损害，船舶所有人应支付为采取该等措施而发生的一切合理费用和开支。\n\n保险、免责、赔偿及律师费\n\n码头不为船舶所有人的人员或财产投保。码头不对因该等许可或对码头泊位或其他码头设施的其他使用所导致、造成或引起的任何人身伤害（包括死亡）或财产损失承担责任。船舶所有人应为船舶及其操作人员维持完整、现行且有效的海事保险，包括对船体、机械及其他财产的全额保险，保险金额至少覆盖船舶当前实际现金价值的 100%，并附加延伸危险、火灾、电解或杂散电流腐蚀、污染和燃油泄漏、打捞及残骸清除、故意破坏和盗窃险批单。船舶所有人还应维持针对船舶所有人、代理人和船舶对第三方所负责任的保险保障。\n\n在签署本协议时及此后应码头不时要求，船舶所有人应向码头提供证明所需保险保障的保险证明，并应要求向码头提供保单的完整副本，且应不迟于保险届满前三十日提供保单证明。所有保险保单均应规定，保险公司对任何修订或取消均须提前三十日通知码头。\n\n船舶、代理人及船舶所有人特此免除并解除码头（及其高级职员、董事、管理人员、经营者、雇员、承包商和保险人）就任何在码头财产内停留和／或使用码头或其设施任何部分期间遭受的人身损失、人身伤害（包括死亡）或人身或财产损害所承担的一切责任，无论该等损失、人身伤害或损害因下列事项直接产生、与之有关或由其造成：(1) 码头或其高级职员、董事、管理人员、经营者、代理人、雇员和／或承包商的任何过失；(2) 码头履行或未履行本协议施加的义务；和／或 (3) 码头的严格责任、违反保证或其他过错（未达到重大过失或故意行为程度）；无论该等损失、人身伤害（包括死亡）或人身或财产损害是否因码头产品、设备或设施的故障、火灾、盗窃、故意破坏、水损、碰撞、天气事件（风、降水、水位上涨）或其他事故而产生、与之有关或由其间接造成。\n\n船舶、代理人及船舶所有人应就因船舶所有人、代理人或船舶在码头财产内停留，或使用码头或其设施任何部分而直接产生、与之有关或相关的每一项及全部索赔、诉讼、责任、损失、损害（包括但不限于对码头泊位、桩柱、系缆柱及他人船舶的损害）、费用及开支（包括但不限于律师费和辅助专业人员费用），赔偿码头（及其高级职员、董事、管理人员、经营者、代理人、雇员、工作人员、承包商和保险人）并使其免受损害；双方明确确认并同意，船舶所有人、代理人及\n\n船舶在本条款项下的赔偿和免责义务，即使该等索赔、诉讼、损失、损害、费用或开支全部或部分直接或间接因下列事项产生、与之有关或由其造成，亦应适用：(1) 码头或其高级职员、管理人员、经营者、代理人、代理人、代理人、工作人员、雇员和／或承包商的过失；(2) 码头履行或未履行本协议施加的义务；和／或 (3) 码头的严格责任、违反保证或其他过错（未达到重大过失或故意行为程度）。\n\n船舶、代理人及船舶所有人应连带支付码头为通过司法程序或其他方式寻求执行本协议任何及全部条款、期限和条件，或追收应付码头的任何款项而产生的一切费用，包括合理的律师费和辅助专业人员费用。\n\n上述保险、免责、赔偿及律师费条款应在下列情形后继续有效：(1) 本协议终止；和／或 (2) 本协议授予的许可终止或被撤销。\n\n如本协议载明的任何规定或任何期限和条件在任何方面无效、违法或不可执行，该等情形不影响任何其他规定、期限或条件，并应解释为该等规定、期限或条件从未包含于本协议中。本协议构成双方之间的完整协议，并取代所有先前协议。除非以书面形式作出并经双方签署，对本协议的任何变更均属无效。码头未要求履行本协议，或码头放弃任何规定、期限或条件，不应被视为对任何规定、期限、条件或码头在本协议项下任何权利的将来放弃。\n\n本协议要求向船舶所有人发出的任何通知，在送达至申请表所列地址或船舶时生效。任何本协议要求向码头发出的通知，在营业时间内送达至码头主管办公室内的码头工作人员时生效。\n\n因本协议产生或与本协议相关的一切争议和事项，如提起诉讼，应专属于 Connecticut 的 Fairfield County 具有管辖权的法院审理，排除任何其他县、州、领地或国家的管辖。\n\n码头规则和规定\n\n为保障您及他人的安全，并营造宜人的环境，码头对所有使用码头者实施下列规定。由于您在码头内停留，或使用任何码头设施或财产，并根据所有许可协议，您必须遵守该等规则和规定。\n\n1. 在码头内或接近码头时，禁止产生尾浪。美国《航行规则和航海法》适用于所有位于、驶入或离开码头的船舶。\n\n2. 仅状况良好且可自行航行的船舶，方可进入码头或其内任何区域。\n\n3. 未经码头主管（Dock Master）事先书面批准，不得在任何栈桥、码头或船舶上生火（包括炭火、燃气火或其他火源）。\n\n4. 码头内任何地点均禁止游泳、潜水和钓鱼。\n\n5. 禁止未经授权使用码头提供的淡水。\n\n6. 所有在码头内、从码头出发或在码头作业的包船经营者、其他商业经营者及外部工作人员，均须持有涵盖其在经营和工作期间或因经营和工作产生之责任的责任保险，单一责任限额至少为 $5,000,000。码头（MARINA）可为其他人员设定责任保险限额。船东（OWNERS）、船舶（VESSELS）、经营者和工作人员必须向码头提供有效的保险证明书。码头提出要求时，必须向其提供现行保险单。\n\n7. 所有在码头内、从码头出发或在码头作业的包船经营者、其他商业经营者及外部工作人员，均须持有所有主管机构要求的全部许可证、许可和证书，且该等文件须为现行并完全有效。\n\n8. 如船东不在场期间发生紧急情况（例如舱底泵故障、泄漏、缆绳状况不佳等），码头有权以合理费用进行或安排必要维修，该等费用应由船东承担并支付/偿还。\n\n9. 禁止任何人实施可能伤害他人、造成财产损失或损害码头声誉的扰乱秩序或不雅行为。任何时候均应将噪音保持在最低限度。所有人员操作发动机、发电机、收音机、电视机等时均应审慎行事，以免造成妨害或扰乱。所有船舶均必须启用水下排气装置。禁止在船舶外使用电动或机械工具（抛光机、砂光机等）。不得在任何通道、码头或栈桥上进行任何物品的喷漆、刮除或修理。允许在船舶上进行的修理和维护范围，由码头全权决定。不得在码头内任何船舶、通道、码头或栈桥上晾晒衣物。\n\n10. 仅当宠物不会干扰他人时，方可携带宠物。宠物在码头范围内必须拴系，且仅可进入指定区域。\n\n11. 长期离开码头的船舶必须通知码头主管办公室。码头保留在泊位空置时重新许可该泊位的权利。船东确认，泊位分配为临时安排，码头可因任何理由重新分配。除非事先获得码头书面批准，否则不得对泊位进行再许可，亦不得将船舶从一个泊位转移至另一个泊位。船东授权，如发生紧急情况，或船舶未依照码头先前通知予以移动，码头可由船东承担费用，将船舶从特定泊位移至任何其他地点。为给码头的特别活动腾出空间，船舶可被移至另一泊位；码头将作出合理努力提前30日通知。小艇必须在分配给该船舶的泊位内浮泊固定，且不得妨碍相邻泊位。\n\n12. 不得将废弃物抛入水中。垃圾仅可投入为该目的提供的垃圾桶（garbins）或其他容器。船东应将任何无法放入该等垃圾桶的物品通知码头，码头将予以处置。任何人不得向码头内或码头附近排放污水、油、燃料、烈酒、易燃物质或含油舱底液体。如船舶装有卫生装置，船东必须遵守美国海岸警卫队就其制造、安装和使用所制定的最先进标准。船舶位于码头期间，每一卫生装置均必须始终正常运行。\n\n13. 船舶不得用于商业或营业目的，且码头内任何船舶均不得刊载广告。任何船舶或船东不得将码头、其名称、地址或电话号码用于商业或营业目的。除非已获得码头主管事先书面批准，否则不得在船舶上张贴“出售”或“出租”标志。经码头书面授权、位于商业区域内的商业船舶除外。\n\n14. 船东不得在任何通道、码头或栈桥上存放补给品、材料、配件或杂物，亦不得在其上建造或放置任何储物柜、箱子、柜橱或类似结构，除非获得码头书面批准。\n\n15. 许可日自上午6:00开始。任何船舶如在上午6:00前使用码头，将按前一日收费。退场时间为中午12:00。任何于中午12:00后仍在码头内的船舶，将按次日收费。\n\n16. 船东或船舶退离码头时，应在离开前向码头主管办公室报告并结清账目。建议所有船东留下转寄地址，以便在收到其电话或邮件时及时处理。然而，无论如何，码头对转寄邮件或信息概不承担任何责任。许可期届满时，必须将所有个人财产搬离码头。码头对任何遗留的个人财产概不承担责任。\n\n17. 码头负责管理并限制停车区域内的码头停车位。任何人不得在任何码头或栈桥上操作或骑乘任何车辆、摩托车、自行车、滑板或穿着旱冰鞋，该等物品必须存放于船舶上或指定区域内。\n\n18. 不得雇用码头雇员在码头内任何船舶上从事工作，也不得雇用其代表任何船东、顾客、船员、宾客或其他人士在码头从事任何其他种类的任务。\n\n19. 建议船东研究并警惕遵守其许可协议（LICENSE AGREEMENTS）的规定。\n\n于 April 4, 2023 签署的泊位许可协议附加条款\n\n本文件中使用但未定义的首字母大写术语，具有于 April 4, 2023 就 Lady May（“Lady May”号游艇）签署的泊位许可协议（以下简称“泊位许可协议”）中所载的含义。\n\n1. 为免生疑，船东不应就 April 1, 2023 前发生的任何事件，对 BLD Waterfront Upland Owner, LLC、RCI Bridgeport LLC、RCI Marine, Inc.、Brideport Landing Development, LLC，或其各自的任何雇员、代理人或管理人员（统称“Bridgeport Marina（布里奇波特码头）”）承担责任。\n\n2. Luc A. Despins 先生仅以 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）财产的 chapter 11 trustee（第11章受托人）身份作为泊位许可协议的一方，而非以其个人身份。因此，Bridgeport Marina 不得以 Luc A. Despins 先生个人身份或 Paul Hastings LLP（博衡律师事务所）为对象提出任何索赔。\n\n3. 泊位许可协议须经 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格联邦破产法院）（以下简称“破产法院”）批准；Ho Wan Kwok 的 chapter 11 案件 Case No. 22-50073 正在该法院审理。\n\n4. United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut 对与泊位许可协议有关或因其产生的任何索赔或争议享有专属管辖权。\n\n船东\n\n姓名：Luc A.
