The Debtor, through his special criminal defense counsel, Brown Rudnick LLP, shall promptly request that the Assistant United States Attorneys for the Southern District of New York assigned to the criminal prosecution of the Debtor (the \"Government\") , including if necessary by filing a motion with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the \"Criminal Court\") to modify any existing protective order, provide to the Trustee the documents and materials (the \"Disclosure Materials\") the Government produces to the Debtor as part of the Government's disclosures to the Debtor in connection with the criminal proceeding captioned *United States of America v. Ho Wan Kwok*, 23 CR 118 (AT) (the \"Criminal Proceeding\"). As part of such request, the Debtor shall inform the Government and the Criminal Court of this Order.\n\n2. The obligations of the Debtor pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Order are satisfied upon the Debtor timely making the request set out in paragraph 1 and taking such further action as may be reasonably necessary to respond to any questions or instructions of the Government and/or the Criminal Court in response to such request. The Trustee understands and acknowledges that the Government may deny that request or otherwise refuse the Trustee receiving the Disclosure Materials and/or that the Criminal Court may not permit the requested disclosure.
