Professionals shall still be required to serve and file interim and final applications for approval of fees and expenses in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and the *Order Limiting Service of Notice for Applications*  *Seeking Compensation of Fees or Reimbursement of Expenses* [ECF No. 1611] (the \"Fee App Notice Order\").\n\nb. Professionals employed as of July 1, 2023, shall file, within twenty (20) days of the entry of this Order, their first Monthly Fee Statements for any periods through the end of the last full month before entry of this Order (to the extent such periods are not addressed by a previously filed fee application).3 Any Professionals retained after July 1, 2023, shall file their first Monthly Fee Statement for the period from the date on which their employment became effective through the end of the first full month following such date and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Order.\n\nc. Each Monthly Fee Statement must contain a list of the individuals who provided services during the period covered by the Monthly Fee Statement, their respective titles (*e.g.*, attorney, accountant, paralegal, etc.), their respective billing rates, the aggregate hours spent by each individual, a reasonably detailed breakdown of the disbursements incurred, and contemporaneously maintained time entries (redacted or modified to protect any privilege) for each individual in increments of tenths (1/10) of an hour or as close thereto as practicable, unless otherwise ordered by the Court.\n\nd. The Notice Parties shall have twenty-one (21) days from the filing and service of a Monthly Fee Statement to review it and, if objecting to the compensation or reimbursement sought in a particular Monthly Fee Statement (an \"Objection\"), such party shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on the date that is twenty-one (21) days following the filing of the particular Monthly Fee Statement (the \"Objection Deadline\"), file with the Court and serve upon (i) the Professional whose Monthly Fee Statement is the subject of the Objection and (ii) the Notice Parties a written Notice of Objection to Fee Statement (a \"Notice of Objection\"), setting forth the nature of the Objection and the amount of fees or expenses as to which the Objection pertains. The Court may extend the Objection Deadline upon the motion of any Notice Party filed prior to the Objection Deadline and served upon the applicable Professional, the Trustee, and the U.S. Trustee, and a showing of cause.\n\ne. At the expiration of the Objection Deadline, with respect to fees and expenses as to which no Notice of Objection has been served in accordance with the foregoing paragraph (d), 80% of the fees and 100% of the expenses shall be paid within fourteen (14) calendar days by the above-captioned Debtors' estates.\n\nf. If a Notice of Objection with respect to a particular Monthly Fee Statement is timely served, payment shall be withheld of only that portion of the Monthly Fee Statement as to which the Objection is directed and the Professional\n\n<sup>3</sup> Professionals' Monthly Fee Statements for any such periods may be filed in omnibus form but will otherwise be subject to all requirements for Monthly Fee Statements as set forth in this Order.\n\nshall be paid the remainder of the fees and disbursements to the extent payable and pursuant to the procedures set forth in the foregoing paragraph (e).\n\ng. Promptly upon resolution of part or all of an Objection to a Professional's Monthly Fee Statement, the Professional shall file with the Court and serve notice of the resolution (the \"Notice of Resolution of Objection\") on the party that asserted the Objection (the \"Objecting Party\") and on all parties served with the applicable Notice of Objection indicating that the Objection has been fully or partially resolved, and, if partially resolved, the portion still subject to an Objection. In the absence of written notice disputing the Notice of Resolution of Objection, filed with the Court within seven (7) days of the filing of the applicable Notice of Resolution of Objection and served by the Objecting Party on the applicable Professional, the Trustee, and the U.S. Trustee, the Objection at issue in the Notice of Resolution of Objection shall be deemed resolved, without prejudice to any objection to an interim or final application for compensation, as provided in the following paragraph (i).\n\nh. If an Objection is resolved, then that portion of the Monthly Fee Statement that is no longer subject to the Objection shall be paid from the abovecaptioned debtors' estates within fourteen (14) days of the expiration of time to dispute the Notice of Resolution of Objection. All Objections that are not resolved by the parties shall be preserved and presented to the Court at the next interim or final fee application to be heard by the Court in accordance with the following paragraphs (j) and (k). Objections shall not be heard or determined by the Court in advance of the applicable interim or final fee application.\n\ni. The service of a Notice of Objection in accordance with the foregoing paragraph (d) shall not prejudice the objecting party's right to object to any fee application made to the Court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code on any ground, whether raised in the Objection or not. Furthermore, the decision by any party not to object to a Monthly Fee Statement shall not be a waiver of any kind or prejudice that party's right to object to any fee application subsequently made to the Court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.\n\nj. Commencing with the period ending August 31, 2023, and for each four-month interval thereafter (each, an \"Interim Fee Period\"), each of the Professionals shall file with the Court an application (an \"Interim Fee Application\") for interim Court approval and allowance, pursuant to sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code (as the case may be), of the compensation and reimbursement of expenses requested in the Monthly Fee Statements served during such Interim Fee Period. Each Professional shall file its Interim Fee Application no later than fortyfive (45) days after the end of the Interim Fee Period.\n\nk. The Court shall enter a notice of hearing (the \"Interim Fee Hearing Notice\") scheduling a hearing to consider the Interim Fee Applications for all Professionals (the \"Interim Fee Hearing\"), after the expiration of the forty-five (45)-day period set forth in the foregoing paragraph (j). Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the Trustee shall serve all parties entitled to service under the Fee App Notice Order with a copy of the Interim Fee Hearing Notice within seven (7) days of the Court's entry of the Interim Fee Hearing Notice, and the Trustee shall file a certificate attesting to having made such service prior to the Interim Fee Hearing.\n\nl. Any Professional that fails to timely file an Interim Fee Application seeking approval of compensation and expenses previously paid pursuant to a Monthly Fee Statement (i) shall be ineligible to receive further monthly payments of fees or reimbursement of expenses as provided herein until such Interim Fee Application is filed, and (ii) may be required to disgorge any fees paid since retention or the Professional's last fee application, whichever is later.\n\nm. The pendency of an Interim Fee Application or a Court order that payment of compensation or reimbursement of expenses was improper as to a particular Monthly Fee Statement shall not disqualify a Professional from the future payment of compensation or reimbursement of expenses as set forth above, unless otherwise ordered by the Court.\n\nn. Neither the payment of, nor the failure to pay, in whole or in part, monthly compensation and reimbursement as provided herein shall have any effect on this Court's interim or final allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses of any Professionals.\n\no. Any service required pursuant to the Compensation Procedures shall be made by electronic mail (including, if applicable, by the Court's CM/ECF) system), or, to the extent that service by electronic mail cannot be made, by U.S. mail or reputable overnight courier (the \"Service Procedures\").\n\np. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall preclude (a) any Professional from seeking allowance and payment of fees pursuant to interim or final fee applications without first having submitted Monthly Fee Statements or (b) the Court from considering any such fee applications (including any pending applications filed prior to entry of this Order).\n\nq. With respect to each Professional, billable hours spent on preparing Monthly Fee Statements filed pursuant to the Compensation Procedures shall not exceed 5.0 hours per Monthly Fee Statement; *provided*, *however*, that the U.S. Trustee is not waiving any right to object, in connection with any Interim Fee Applications or final fee applications, to the amount of hours spent on preparing Monthly Fee Statements, and the applicable Professional's right to respond to any such objection is preserved.\n\n3. The Movants shall include all payments to Professionals on their monthly operating\n\nreports, detailed so as to state the amount paid to each Professional.\n\n4. Monthly Fee Statements, Notices of Objection, Notices of Resolution of Objection, and notices disputing Notices of Resolution of Objection, shall not be determined by the Court or scheduled for hearing prior to the applicable interim or final application for compensation, and any disputed issues in connection therewith shall be preserved pending the Court's consideration of the interim or final application for compensation. The foregoing shall not limit the Court's authority to enter orders or schedule proceedings as the Court deems appropriate upon its review of these or any other documents filed in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases.\n\n5. The Trustee shall serve a copy of this Order on each of the Professionals.\n\n6. The terms and conditions of this Order are immediately effective and enforceable upon its entry.\n\n7. The Trustee is authorized to take all actions necessary to effectuate the relief granted pursuant to this Order in accordance with the Motion.\n\n8. Any compensation or reimbursement of expenses paid to any Professional pursuant to this Order on account of its Monthly Fee Statements may be subject to final adjustment and disgorgement in the event all administrative expenses are not paid in full or as provided in the order approving the sale of the Lady May [ECF No. 1953].\n\n9. Any Notice Party may object to requests for payments made pursuant to this Order on the grounds that the Movants have not timely filed monthly operating reports, remained current with their administrative expenses and 28 U.S.C. § 1930 fees, or a manifest exigency exists by seeking a further order of this Court, otherwise, this Order shall continue and shall remain in effect during the pendency of the case; *provided*, *however*, that the Trustee may request by motion (a \"Suspension Motion\") that the Court suspend the Compensation Procedures if, in the Trustee's\n\n6\n\nsole discretion, he believes circumstances warrant such relief. A Suspension Motion shall be heard within seven (7) days of filing subject to the Court's schedule.\n\n10. This Court retains exclusive jurisdiction with respect to all matters arising from or related to the implementation, interpretation, and enforcement of this Order.\n\n# **Exhibit 2**\n\n**Revised Proposed Order (redline)**\n\n## **UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION**\n\n| --------------------------------------------------------------- | x      |                         |\n|-----------------------------------------------------------------|--------|-------------------------|\n| In re:                                                          | :<br>: | Chapter 11              |\n| HO WAN KWOK,<br>et al.,<br>1                                    | :<br>: | Case No. 22-50073 (JAM) |\n| Debtors.                                                        | :<br>: | (Jointly Administered)  |\n| --------------------------------------------------------------- | x      |                         |\n\n## **[PROPOSED] ORDER ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR INTERIM COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES FOR RETAINED PROFESSIONALS**\n\nUpon the motion (the \"Motion\")<sup>2</sup> of Luc A.

At the expiration of the Objection Deadline, with respect to fees and expenses as to which no Notice of Objection has been served in accordance with the foregoing paragraph (d), 80% of the fees and 100% of the expenses shall be paid within fourteen (14) calendar days by the above-captioned Debtors' estates.\n\n<sup>3</sup> Professionals' Monthly Fee Statements for any such periods may be filed in omnibus form but will otherwise be subject to all requirements for Monthly Fee Statements as set forth in this Order.\n\nf. If a Notice of Objection with respect to a particular Monthly Fee Statement is timely served, payment shall be withheld of only that portion of the Monthly Fee Statement as to which the Objection is directed and the Professional shall be paid the remainder of the fees and disbursements to the extent payable and pursuant to the procedures set forth in the foregoing paragraph (e).\n\ng. Promptly upon resolution of part or all of an Objection to a Professional's Monthly Fee Statement, the Professional shall file with the Court and serve notice of the resolution (the \"Notice of Resolution of Objection\") on the party that asserted the Objection (the \"Objecting Party\") and on all parties served with the applicable Notice of Objection indicating that the Objection has been fully or partially resolved, and, if partially resolved, the portion still subject to an Objection. In the absence of written notice disputing the Notice of Resolution of Objection, filed with the Court within seven (7) days of the filing of the applicable Notice of Resolution of Objection and served by the Objecting Party on the applicable Professional, the Trustee, and the U.S. Trustee, the Objection at issue in the Notice of Resolution of Objection shall be deemed resolved, without prejudice to any objection to an interim or final application for compensation, as provided in the following paragraph (i).\n\nh. If an Objection is resolved, then that portion of the Monthly Fee Statement that is no longer subject to the Objection shall be paid from the above-captioned debtors' estates within fourteen (14) days of the expiration of time to dispute the Notice of Resolution of Objection. All Objections that are not resolved by the parties shall be preserved and presented to the Court at the next interim or final fee application to be heard by the Court in accordance with the following paragraphs (j) and (k). Objections shall not be heard or determined by the Court in advance of the applicable interim or final fee application.\n\ni. The service of a Notice of Objection in accordance with the foregoing paragraph (d) shall not prejudice the objecting party's right to object to any fee application made to the Court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code on any ground, whether raised in the Objection or not. Furthermore, the decision by any party not to object to a Monthly Fee Statement shall not be a waiver of any kind or prejudice that party's right to object to any fee application subsequently made to the Court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.\n\nj. Commencing with the period ending August 31, 2023, and for each four-month interval thereafter (each, an \"Interim Fee Period\"), each of the Professionals shall file with the Court an application (an \"Interim Fee Application\") for interim Court approval and allowance, pursuant to sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code (as the case may be), of the compensation and reimbursement of expenses requested in the Monthly Fee Statements served during such Interim Fee Period. Each Professional shall file its Interim Fee Application no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of the Interim Fee Period.\n\nk. The Court shall enter a notice of hearing (the \"Interim Fee Hearing Notice\") scheduling a hearing to consider the Interim Fee Applications for all Professionals (the \"Interim Fee Hearing\"), after the expiration of the forty-five (45)-day period set forth in the foregoing paragraph (j). Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the Trustee shall serve all parties entitled to service under the Fee App Notice Order with a copy of the Interim Fee Hearing Notice within seven (7) days of the Court's entry of the Interim Fee Hearing Notice, and the Trustee shall file a certificate attesting to having made such service prior to the Interim Fee Hearing.\n\nl. Any Professional that fails to timely file an Interim Fee Application seeking approval of compensation and expenses previously paid pursuant to a Monthly Fee Statement (i) shall be ineligible to receive further monthly payments of fees or reimbursement of expenses as provided herein until such Interim Fee Application is filed, and (ii) may be required to disgorge any fees paid since retention or the Professional's last fee application, whichever is later.\n\nm. The pendency of an Interim Fee Application or a Court order that payment of compensation or reimbursement of expenses was improper as to a particular Monthly Fee Statement shall not disqualify a Professional from the future payment of compensation or reimbursement of expenses as set forth above, unless otherwise ordered by the Court.\n\nn. Neither the payment of, nor the failure to pay, in whole or in part, monthly compensation and reimbursement as provided herein shall have any effect on this Court's interim or final allowance of compensation and reimbursement of expenses of any Professionals.\n\no. Any service required pursuant to the Compensation Procedures shall be made by electronic mail (including, if applicable, by the Court's CM/ECF) system), or, to the extent that service by electronic mail cannot be made, by U.S. mail or reputable overnight courier (the \"Service Procedures\").\n\np. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall preclude (a) any Professional from seeking allowance and payment of fees pursuant to interim or final fee applications without first having submitted Monthly Fee Statements or (b) the Court from considering any such fee applications (including any pending applications filed prior to entry of this Order).\n\nq. With respect to each Professional, billable hours spent on preparing Monthly Fee Statements filed pursuant to the Compensation Procedures shall not exceed 5.0 hours per Monthly Fee Statement; *provided*, *however*, that the U.S. Trustee is not waiving any right to object, in connection with any Interim Fee Applications or final fee applications, to the amount of hours spent on preparing\n\nMonthly Fee Statements, and the applicable Professional's right to respond to any such objection is preserved.\n\n3. The Movants shall include all payments to Professionals on their monthly operating reports, detailed so as to state the amount paid to each Professional.\n\n4. Monthly Fee Statements, Notices of Objection, Notices of Resolution of Objection, and notices disputing Notices of Resolution of Objection, shall not be determined by the Court or scheduled for hearing prior to the applicable interim or final application for compensation, and any disputed issues in connection therewith shall be preserved pending the Court's consideration of the interim or final application for compensation. The foregoing shall not limit the Court's authority to enter orders or schedule proceedings as the Court deems appropriate upon its review of these or any other documents filed in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases.\n\n5. The Trustee shall serve a copy of this Order on each of the Professionals.\n\n6. The terms and conditions of this Order are immediately effective and enforceable upon its entry.\n\n7. The Trustee is authorized to take all actions necessary to effectuate the relief granted pursuant to this Order in accordance with the Motion.\n\n8. Any compensation or reimbursement of expenses paid to any Professional pursuant to this Order on account of its Monthly Fee Statements may be subject to final adjustment and disgorgement in the event all administrative expenses are not paid in full or as provided in the order approving the sale of the Lady May [ECF No. 1953].\n\n9. Any Notice Party may object to requests for payments made pursuant to this Order on the grounds that the Movants have not timely filed monthly operating reports, remained\n\n6\n\ncurrent with their administrative expenses and 28 U.S.C. § 1930 fees, or a manifest exigency exists by seeking a further order of this Court, otherwise, this Order shall continue and shall remain in effect during the pendency of the case; *provided*, *however*, that the Trustee may request by motion (a \"Suspension Motion\") that the Court suspend the Compensation Procedures if, in the Trustee's sole discretion, he believes circumstances warrant such relief. A Suspension Motion shall be heard within seven (7) days of filing subject to the Court's schedule.\n\n10. 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：　:\n:　第11章\nHO WAN KWOK（郭文贵）等，　:\n:　案件编号 22-50073 (JAM)\n债务人。1　:\n:　合并管理\n\nx\n提交关于为受聘专业人士确立临时报酬及费用偿还程序的经修订拟议命令的通知\n\n兹通知，2023年7月13日，Luc A.

Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. 的律师，O'Melveny & Myers LLP, 7 Times Square, New York, New York 10036（收件人：Peter Friedman（pfriedman@omm.com）及 Stuart M. Sarnoff（ssarnoff@omm.com））\n\n（统称“通知当事人”）。专业人士仍须根据《破产法典》、破产规则、地方法规则及《关于限制送达寻求批准费用或报销开支申请之通知的命令》[ECF No. 1611]（“费用申请通知命令”）的相关规定，送达并提交临时及最终费用和开支批准申请。\n\nb. 截至 July 1, 2023 已获聘用的专业人士，应在本命令作出后二十（20）日内，就截至本命令作出前最后一个完整月末的任何期间提交其首份月度费用报表（但此前已提交费用申请涵盖的期间除外）。3 任何于 July 1, 2023 后获聘用的专业人士，应就其聘用生效之日起至该日期后第一个完整月末期间提交其首份月度费用报表，并在其他方面遵循本命令规定的程序。\n\nc. 除非法院另有命令，每份月度费用报表必须载明：在该月度费用报表所涵盖期间提供服务的人员名单、其各自职务（例如律师、会计师、律师助理等）、其各自计费费率、每名人员所投入的累计小时数、所发生支出的合理详细明细，以及每名人员以十分之一（1/10）小时为单位或在实际可行情况下尽可能接近该单位、同时保存的工时记录（为保护任何特权而经删节或修改）。\n\nd. 通知当事人自月度费用报表提交及送达之日起有二十一（21）日审阅该报表；如对某一特定月度费用报表中请求的报酬或报销提出异议（“异议”），该方应不迟于该特定月度费用报表提交后二十一（21）日当日东部时间下午 12:00，向法院提交并向以下各方送达书面《费用报表异议通知》（“异议通知”），载明异议的性质及异议所涉及的费用或开支金额：(i) 其月度费用报表成为异议对象的专业人士；及 (ii) 通知当事人。法院可在任何通知当事人于异议截止日期前提出动议、并向适用专业人士、受托人及美国受托人送达该动议，且证明存在正当理由后，延长异议截止日期。\n\ne. 异议截止日期届满时，对于未依照前述第 (d) 段送达异议通知的费用和开支，上述标题所列债务人的财产应于十四（14）个日历日内支付费用的 80% 及开支的 100%。\n\n3 专业人士就任何该等期间提交的月度费用报表可以合并形式提交，但在其他方面仍须遵守本命令规定的月度费用报表全部要求。\n\nf. 如就某一特定月度费用报表及时送达异议通知，则仅应暂缓支付该月度费用报表中异议所针对的部分；专业人士应就其余费用和支出，在可支付的范围内并依照前述第 (e) 段规定的程序获得支付。\n\ng. 在对专业人士月度费用报表的异议全部或部分解决后，专业人士应立即向法院提交并向提出异议的一方（“异议方”）及向收到适用异议通知的所有当事人送达解决通知（“异议解决通知”），说明异议已获全部或部分解决；如为部分解决，则说明仍受异议约束的部分。如异议方未在适用异议解决通知提交后七（7）日内向法院提交书面通知以争议该异议解决通知，并向适用专业人士、受托人及美国受托人送达该通知，则异议解决通知中所涉异议应视为已解决，但不影响依照下述第 (i) 段对临时或最终报酬申请提出任何异议的权利。\n\nh. 如异议已获解决，则月度费用报表中不再受该异议约束的部分，应由上述标题所列债务人的财产于争议异议解决通知期限届满后十四（14）日内支付。各方未解决的所有异议均应予以保留，并依照下述第 (j) 及 (k) 段，在法院下一次审理临时或最终费用申请时提交法院。法院不得在适用临时或最终费用申请之前审理或裁定异议。\n\ni. 依照前述第 (d) 段送达异议通知，不得损害异议方就任何依据《破产法典》向法院提出的费用申请，以异议中提出或未提出的任何理由提出异议的权利。此外，任何一方决定不对月度费用报表提出异议，不应构成任何形式的放弃，亦不损害该方对随后依据《破产法典》向法院提出的任何费用申请提出异议的权利。\n\nj. 自截至 August 31, 2023 的期间开始，并在此后每四个月期间（各称“临时费用期间”），每名专业人士均应根据《破产法典》第 330 和 331 条（视情况而定），向法院提交申请（“临时费用申请”），请求法院临时批准并准许在该临时费用期间内已送达的月度费用报表所请求的报酬及开支报销。每名专业人士应不迟于临时费用期间结束后四十五（45）日提交其临时费用申请。\n\nk. 在前述第 (j) 段规定的四十五（45）日期限届满后，法院应作出听证通知（“临时费用听证通知”），安排就全体专业人士的临时费用申请举行听证（“临时费用听证”）。除非法院另有命令，受托人应于法院作出临时费用听证通知后七（7）日内，向根据费用申请通知命令有权获送达的所有当事人送达该临时费用听证通知副本；受托人应在临时费用听证前提交证明已完成该等送达的证明书。\n\nl. 任何专业人士未及时提交临时费用申请，以寻求批准此前依据月度费用报表已支付的报酬和开支的，(i) 在该临时费用申请提交前，无资格按本命令规定进一步获得每月费用支付或开支报销；及 (ii) 可能被要求返还自受聘之日或该专业人士上一次费用申请之日（以较晚者为准）以来支付的任何费用。\n\nm. 临时费用申请尚未裁定，或法院命令认定就某一特定月度费用报表支付报酬或报销开支不当，均不应取消专业人士今后按上述规定获得报酬支付或开支报销的资格，除非法院另有命令。\n\nn. 按本命令规定支付或未支付全部或部分每月报酬及报销，均不应对本院临时或最终准许任何专业人士的报酬及开支报销产生任何影响。\n\no. 根据报酬程序要求的任何送达，均应通过电子邮件（包括在适用情况下通过法院的 CM/ECF 系统）进行；如无法通过电子邮件进行送达，则应通过美国邮政或信誉良好的隔夜快递进行（“送达程序”）。\n\np. 为免疑义，本命令任何规定均不妨碍 (a) 任何专业人士在未先提交月度费用报表的情况下，依据临时或最终费用申请寻求准许及支付费用，或 (b) 法院审议任何该等费用申请（包括在本命令作出前已提交的任何待决申请）。\n\nq. 就每名专业人士而言，根据报酬程序提交月度费用报表所花费的可计费小时数，不得超过每份月度费用报表 5.0 小时；但美国受托人并未放弃就任何临时费用申请或最终费用申请，对编制月度费用报表所花费的小时数提出异议的任何权利，且适用专业人士就任何该等异议作出答复的权利予以保留。\n\n3. 申请方应在其月度经营报告中列入向专业人士支付的全部款项，并详细说明向每名专业人士支付的金额。\n\n4. 月度费用报表、异议通知、异议解决通知以及争议异议解决通知的通知，均不得在适用临时或最终报酬申请之前由法院裁定或安排听证；与此相关的任何争议事项均应予以保留，等待法院审议临时或最终报酬申请。上述规定不限制法院在审阅上述标题所列第 11 章案件中提交的这些或任何其他文件后，作出法院认为适当的命令或安排程序的权限。\n\n5. 受托人应向每名专业人士送达本命令副本。\n\n6. 本命令的条款和条件自作出之时起立即生效并可执行。\n\n7. 受托人获授权依照该动议采取一切必要行动，以落实根据本命令准许的救济。\n\n8. 根据本命令，就任何专业人士的月度费用报表向其支付的任何报酬或开支报销，如全部行政费用未获全额支付，或未按批准出售 Lady May [ECF No. 1953] 的命令规定支付，可能须作最终调整并予以返还。\n\n9. 任何通知当事人均可基于申请方未及时提交月度经营报告、未持续及时支付其行政费用及 28 U.S.C. § 1930 费用，或存在明显紧急情形，而请求本院作出进一步命令，以对根据本命令提出的付款请求提出异议；否则，本命令应在案件待决期间持续有效并保持效力；但受托人可通过动议（“暂停动议”）请求法院暂停报酬程序，如受托人依其唯一酌情权认为情势需要该等救济。暂停动议应在提交后七（7）日内，视法院日程安排进行听证。\n\n10. 对因实施、解释及执行本命令而产生或与之相关的一切事项，本院保留专属管辖权。","key_entities":["Je","Kwok","Ho Wan Kwok","Despins","Paul Hastings","Guo","Miles Guo"],"ecf_references":[{"doc_number":1611,"court":"CTB"},{"doc_number":1953,"court":"CTB"}],"word_count":5647,"status":"published","published_at":"2023-08-04 00:00:00","created_at":"2023-08-04","updated_at":"2026-08-23 19:09:38"}
