As noted in the Motion, Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., Technical Services\n\nDivision (\"GBTS\") has conducted a survey of the area of the Sherry Netherland Apartment\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and the Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\n<sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Supplement have the meanings set forth in the Motion.\n\naffected by the March 15 Fire (*i.e.*, the Affected Area). That survey has revealed asbestos in certain of the pipe insulation, the heat shield behind the radiators, and the perimeter waterproofing tar on the walls. Based on these results, ABF Environmental, Inc. (\"ABF\"), *i.e.*, Genever US's proposed contractor to remove the asbestos in the Affected Area, has prepared a work proposal setting forth the services to be provided, for a total cost of \\$48,900.3 As previewed in the Motion, Genever US hereby files a copy of this work proposal, which is attached hereto as **Exhibit 1** (the \"ABF Proposal\").\n\n2. In connection with the asbestos removal project, Genever US will also require certain related services, including air monitoring, removing radiators from the walls, and providing electric and water connection during the abatement work. These services are not included as part of the ABF Proposal. Accordingly, Genever US also seeks to engage:\n\n- i. GBTS to provide air monitoring and related services, including final clearance testing as well as preparing variance drawings4 to be filed with the New York City building department, for an estimated total cost of \\$15,900;\n- ii. George Breslaw Plumbing, LLC (\"Breslaw\") to connect a temporary shower for the asbestos removal work as well as disconnect and, upon completion of the asbestos removal project reconnect radiators, for an estimated total cost of \\$7,350; and\n\n<sup>3</sup> Genever US is currently analyzing to what extent some of these costs (for example, the asbestos in the walls) is the responsibility of the Sherry Netherland and/or its insurer. To the extent it is their responsibility, Genever US will seek payment from them for such costs.\n\n<sup>4</sup> A variance filing is necessary because, as noted, asbestos will need to be removed from the walls, which necessarily means that the plastic enclosure must include openings to allow for ABF to access the walls during the removal project. Genever US understands that obtaining such approval from the New York City may take 4 to 6 weeks and that only after such approval has been obtained may the asbestos removal begin. In order to minimize delays, Genever US has requested that GBTS begin the process of preparing the variance filing.\n\niii. GEM Contracting Management LLC (\"GEM\") to provide related electrical services, such as installing temporary electrical feeders to the various equipment required for the asbestos removal project, for an estimated total cost of \\$2,200. Copies of the work proposals submitted by GBTS, Breslaw, and GEM are attached hereto as\n\n**Exhibit 2**, **Exhibit 3**, and, **Exhibit 4**, respectively. Each of GBTS, Breslaw, and GEM have substantial experience working in the Sherry Netherland building and come recommended by Acheson Doyle, *i.e.*, Genever US's proposed architect for the Remediation Project. In addition, GBTS is ideally situated to provide air monitoring services as well as prepare the necessary variance filing, given that they have already conducted the asbestos survey in the Affected Area.\n\n3. To be clear, the Proposed Order already provides that Genever US would be able to engage contractors as may be necessary to remediate the Affected Area (including as it relates to the removal of asbestos). That said, for the avoidance of doubt, Genever US has revised the Proposed Order to clarify that, if granted, it is authorized to obtain the aforementioned thirdparty services in connection with the asbestos removal project, as well as pay these service providers in the ordinary course of the Remediation Project, without further Court approval. A copy of the revised Proposed Order is attached hereto as **Exhibit 5**. A redline of the revised Proposed Order marked to show the changes to the proposed Order included with the Motion is attached hereto as **Exhibit 6**.\n\n4. Finally, Genever US notes that, at the request of the United States Trustee, it has also clarified the revised Proposed Order to provide that nothing therein authorizes the retention or compensation of any attorneys.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank*.]\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Genever US respectfully requests that the\n\nCourt enter the revised Proposed Order attached hereto as **Exhibit 5** granting the relief requested\n\nin the Motion (as clarified by this Supplement).\n\nDated: September 8, 2023 New York, New York\n\n> By: */s/ G.

Review all contractor Change Orders, if appropriate; and\n- 18. Compile all of the site documentation to prepare a final close-out report.\n\n#### **Air Monitoring**\n\nLocal, state and federal agencies have differing requirements as relates to air monitoring prior to, during and following abatement. When required, GBTS provides for this sampling using personnel certified/ licensed by the states in which the work is executed. The sampling programs are designed in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements and normally involve air sample collection and analysis via Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM), NIOSH Method 7400, Issue 3: 29 April 2019 or the latest edition. Phase Contrast Microscopy samples shall be analyzed by a laboratory proficient in the American Industrial Hygiene Association Proficiency Analytical Testing (AIHA PAT) Program or by an analyst who is a successful participant in the AIHA Asbestos Analyst Registry (AAR). For sample analysis via Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), laboratories shall be accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and shall certify that the analysis they performed was according to the protocol listed in Appendix A to Subpart E of 40 CFR 763. The maximum turnaround times for sample analysis and the reporting of results vary based on federal, state, and local requirements.\n\nAll sampling equipment shall be calibrated traceable to a primary standard. Pumps shall be recalibrated with a minimum of a secondary standard before and after each sample is collected. Records shall be kept of all calibrations and shall be part of the daily log.\n\n#### Pre-abatement Air Sampling (If Required)\n\nIf required by local, state, and/or federal requirements, prior to commencement of work, air samples shall be collected for analysis by PCM and/or TEM. The sampling and analysis methodologies shall be governed as described above and consistent with state and local requirements. These samples shall be collected prior to the commencement of any abatement related activities in areas inside and outside of\n\nthe proposed containment(s). Timing of the background sampling shall be consistent with the applicable regulations.\n\n#### Abatement Air Monitoring\n\n- 1. Samples shall be collected at locations in accordance with applicable regulations, including (if required):\n\t- a. Outside the work area at critical barriers;\n\t- b. In the clean room of the worker and waste decontamination units;\n\t- c. On floors above and below the work area;\n\t- d. At locations where negative air filtration devices (AFDs)/negative air machines (NAM) exhaust into tenant or occupied areas;\n\t- e. At locations where AFDs exhaust to the ambient environment;\n\t- f. Outside the building (ambient air samples); and\n\t- g. For abatement personnel, if local or state regulations require.\n- 2. Sample collection shall be in strict accordance with local, state, and federal requirements regarding sample locations, rate of flow, and required volumes to achieve the necessary analytical sensitivity.\n- 3. Sample analysis turnaround times (TAT) shall be consistent with the appropriate regulatory authority.\n\n#### Final Clearance Testing\n\nFollowing a successful final inspection performed by the certified/licensed asbestos professional and given the appropriate waiting periods between the final cleaning and visual inspection, aggressive clearance air sampling shall be performed. Final air clearance sampling shall not be performed until the work area has passed the final visual inspection.\n\n- 1. Number and placement of samplers shall be consistent with local, state, and federal requirements.\n- 2. Final air clearance sampling analytical methods shall comply with the appropriate standards, whether PCM or TEM.\n\t- a. For PCM analysis, the project shall be considered complete when the results of samples collected in the affected work area show that the concentration of fibers for each of the samples is less than or equal to 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc).\n\t- b. For TEM analysis, the clearance standard has been established as a fiber density of less than 70 structures per millimeter squared (s/mm<sup>2</sup> ) for the average concentration of all samples collected inside the work area.\n- 3. Failure to achieve these clearance standards will obligate the contractor to re-clean the work area and have the work area retested.\n- 4. Final clearance results shall be conveyed to the client and the contractor once available.\n\n#### **Final Visual Inspection Process**\n\nFinal air clearance sampling shall not be performed until the work area has passed a final visual inspection performed by a properly qualified (certified/licensed) individual. This individual is normally independent of the contractor and retained by the owner to verify the remedy.\n\nThe visual inspection process is used to evaluate all four aspects of an asbestos abatement project as follows:\n\n- 1. The extent of ACM removal within the scope of work;\n- 2. The project work performance/contractor execution;\n\n- 3. The completeness of abatement; and\n- 4. The completeness of the clean-up.\n\nGBTS's process includes the following:\n\n- 1. The certified/licensed asbestos professional shall have a complete understanding of the scope of the abatement program;\n- 2. Work area inspections are performed by both the GBTS asbestos professional and the Project Manager or Supervisor for the abatement firm;\n- 3. The inspection confirms that all containerized waste has been removed from the work area and unremoved materials have been addressed;\n- 4. All equipment, with the exception of negative air filtration devices, has been removed from the work area;\n- 5. The inspection verifies the complete removal of all visible ACM debris or residue on or about all abated surfaces. The presence of residue, visible without the use of magnifying devices, on surfaces and components from which asbestos has been removed indicates that additional cleaning of these surfaces is required. It is important to note that the visible debris is not limited to suspect ACM. The work area should be free of all debris and dust;\n- 6. An entry shall be made into the asbestos abatement contractor supervisor's daily log by both the supervisor and the GBTS representative detailing the findings of the visual inspection; and\n- 7. An acceptable visual inspection for completeness of abatement and clean-up improves the chances, but does not guarantee, that the area will pass final air testing for clearance.\n\nGBTS's final visual inspections shall follow federal, state and local regulations as well as recognized standards (guidelines) which might include:\n\n- 1. ASTM Standard E1368 \"Standard Practice for Visual Inspection of Asbestos Abatement Projects;\" and/or\n- 2. Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools Rule (40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E).\n\nAt the completion of the work, a formal report shall be prepared which documents the oversight services provided, and will include air monitoring results, construction logs, and floor plans (if applicable).\n\n### **COST**\n\nGBTS proposes to perform the services outlined above according to the following fee schedule:\n\n#### **Task 1 – ATRU and Variance Drawings and Final Inspection for Filing.......................................... \\$6,750**\n\n#### **Task 2 – Third Party Air Monitoring and Project Management**\n\n| Estimated<br>eight shifts @ \\$850 per shift       | \\$6,800 |\n|---------------------------------------------------|---------|\n| Project Management –<br>10<br>hours at \\$160/hour | \\$1,600 |\n| Final Report –<br>Lump Sum                        | \\$750   |\n| Total Estimated Cost for Task 2<br>               | \\$9,150 |\n|                                                   |         |\n\n#### **ASSUMPTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS**\n\nTasks that are based on time and materials/hourly rates are to be considered estimates and are based on an estimated not to exceed value without client authorization.

Without limiting the foregoing and by way of example only, GBTS expressly makes no representation, guarantee, promise or other warranty that Client will not be issued any violations, citations, stop work orders or other governmental citations, fines or penalties.

GBTS shall not be liable to Client for any damages without being given a reasonable opportunity to correct the Services.\n\n#### **5. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES**\n\nIn addition to other responsibilities described herein, the Client shall: (i) provide all information and criteria as to the Client's requirements, objectives, and expectations for the project, including all numerical criteria that are to be met and all standards of development, design, or construction and all other information reasonably necessary for completion of the Services, prior to the commencement of the Services; (ii) provide prompt, complete disclosure of known or potential hazardous conditions or health and safety risks; (iii) provide to GBTS all previous studies, plans, or other documents pertaining to the project and all new data decisions pertaining thereto within a reasonable time so as not to delay the Services; (iv) furnish approvals, consents and permits from governmental authorities, third parties including but not limited to the owner, lender, etc. and notice to GBTS whenever the Client becomes aware of any development that affects said approvals and consents from other parties as may be necessary for completion of GBTS's Services; (v) give prompt written notice to GBTS whenever the Client becomes aware of any development that affects the scope and timing of GBTS's Services or any defect or noncompliance in any aspect of the project; and (vi) bear all costs incident to the responsibilities of the Client. The Client agrees that to the extent GBTS is required to perform intrusive and invasive activities as part of the Services, including but not limited to, intrusive soil & groundwater tests, dig test pits and clearing pathways of trees, etc., the Client takes responsibility for all such intrusive and invasive activities, and has made all disclosures and obtained all necessary permits, approvals and consents from all interested third parties, including but not limited to, the owner, lender or any financing party, government authority, etc. for GBTS's performance of such intrusive and invasive activities.

If in GBTS's opinion, its field personnel are unable to access required locations or perform required Services in conformance with applicable safety standards, GBTS may immediately suspend performance, without any breach or liability hereunder, until such safety standards can be attained. If, within a reasonable time, site operations or conditions are not brought into compliance with such safety standards, GBTS may in its discretion terminate its performance in accordance with the termination provision found herein, in which event Client shall pay for Services and termination expenses as provided herein.\n\nUnless specifically provided in the Proposal, GBTS has no authority to direct, supervise or control any of the trade contractors and trade contractor workers, including the means and methods employed by such trade contractors and trade contractor workers.\n\n#### **7.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY**\n\nIn no event shall Client and GBTS and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, affiliates and successors be liable to the other or any third party for any special, incidental, consequential, indirect or punitive damages including, without limitation, lost, delayed and/or diminished profits or revenue, loss of data, or interruption of business, whether arising under theory of contract, tort or other theory of liability, including negligence, and the Parties hereby mutually release and waive any and all such claims against the other. The indemnification obligations and mutual waiver and release herein shall survive termination or completion of this Agreement.\n\nUnder no circumstances will GBTS be liable to Client for any amount in excess of the total amount of fees paid by Client to GBTS for Services performed under this Agreement, or \\$100,000, whichever is greater. This limitation shall apply to any and all injuries, damages, claims, losses, expenses, or claim expenses (including attorney's fees and expert witness' fees) arising from or related to Services performed under this Agreement from any cause or causes. Such causes include, but are not limited to, GBTS's negligence, errors, omissions, strict liability, statutory liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, negligent misrepresentation, or other acts giving rise to liability based on all types of legal theories, including but not limited to contract, tort, professional liability, product liability, warranty or otherwise.\n\nClient agrees that any claim for damages filed against GBTS, by Client or by any contractor or subcontractor hired directly or indirectly by Client, will be filed solely against GBTS or its successors or assigns, and that no individual shall be held personally liable for damages, in whole or in part.\n\n#### **10. DISPUTERESOLUTION**\n\nIf any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall occur, Client and GBTS shall endeavor to reach resolution through good faith direct discussions between representatives of the parties with authority to resolve the matter. If direct discussions do not result in resolution of the matter, the parties shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the matter via mediation. If the parties choose mediation, either party may terminate the mediation at any time after the first session by written notice to the other party and mediator. The cost of the mediation shall be shared equally by the parties. The parties agree that the sole proper venue for the determination of any litigation arising under this Agreement shall be in a court of competent jurisdiction which is located in Cook County, Illinois. Each party shall bear its own litigation costs and fees, including expert and attorneys' fees.\n\n#### **11. NOTICE AND PURSUIT OF CLAIMS**\n\nAny claims of Client, whether based upon contract, tort, breach of warranty, or otherwise, shall be deemed waived\n\n![](_page_17_Picture_1.jpeg)\n\nunless written notice of such claim is received in writing by GBTS within one (1) year after Client knew or reasonably should have known of its existence.\n\n#### **12. COLLECTION**\n\nShould the Client's account, after payment default hereunder, be referred by GBTS to an attorney or collection agency for collection, then Client shall pay all of GBTS's expenses incurred in such collection efforts including, but not limited to, collection agency fees, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. Notwithstanding the above or any other terms provided herein, GBTS may institute proceedings to collect payment in any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States.\n\n#### **13. USE OF REPORTS/NO THIRD-PARTY RELIANCE**\n\nAny documents provided by GBTS as part of the Services provided herein are provided for the use and reliance of Client. Any third-party use of or reliance on the documents is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and GBTS's report. Client's payment of GBTS invoices, as provided for herein, shall not be made contingent upon GBTS's agreement to permit third-party reliance contrary to the terms and conditions agreed to herein.\n\n#### **14. CONFIDENTIALITY**\n\nIn connection with this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that it may be necessary for each of them to provide to the other information that is confidential to the disclosing party (\"Confidential Information\").

GBTS's compensation shall be based upon GBTS's current prevailing COST AND FEE SCHEDULE. Except for the foregoing provision, neither party shall hold the other responsible for damages or performance delays caused by circumstances beyond the control of the other party, and which could not reasonably have been anticipated or prevented. For purposes of this Agreement, such circumstances include, but are not limited to: unusual weather; floods; epidemics; wars; riots;\n\nstrikes; lockouts or other industrial disturbances; protest demonstrations; unanticipated site conditions; inability (despite reasonable diligence) to supply personnel, equipment, or material to the project; or the action or inaction of government. Should such circumstances transpire, Client and GBTS shall exert a best effort to overcome the resulting difficulties and resume performance of the Services as soon as reasonably possible. Delays within the scope of this provision that cumulatively exceed forty-five (45) calendar days shall, at the option of either party, make this Agreement subject to renegotiation or termination.\n\n#### **17.

Client may terminate this Agreement for convenience without penalty, by providing written notice to GBTS. Client or GBTS may terminate the Agreement for cause.

The Motion is GRANTED as set forth herein.\n\n2. Genever US is authorized to enter into, and perform under, the Architect Agreement with Acheson Doyle, effective as of July 27, 2023.\n\n3. As it relates to the payment of Acheson Doyle's fees and expenses, Genever US shall file a notice with the Court attaching Acheson Doyle's invoices for the Architectural Services. Parties in interest will then have fourteen (14) days to object to such invoices. If no timely objections are filed with the Court, Genever US is authorized to pay such invoices without further Court order. If any timely objections are filed, (i) Genever US may file a response to such objection(s) within seven (7) days thereafter and (ii) pay the portion of the fees and\n\nexpenses that are not subject to such objection. To the extent that an objection cannot be consensually resolved among the parties, the Court will rule on the matter.\n\n4. Genever US is authorized to enter into, and perform under, the GBTS Agreement, including payment of GBTS's fees and expenses in the ordinary course of the Remediation Project, without further Court approval.\n\n5.

For the avoidance of doubt, Genever US is also authorized to (a) enter into, and perform under, an agreement with ABF to remove asbestos from the Affected Area as well as related third party services (including GBTS, GEM, and Breslaw), all as detailed in the Motion, and (b) pay the fees and expenses of ABF and related service providers (including GBTS, GEM, and Breslaw) in the ordinary course of the Remediation Project, without further Court approval.\n\n6. Genever US shall provide copies of the bids received from the general contractor (including as to the estimated costs of the Remediation Project) to Sales Officer, PAX, the Committee, the U.S. Trustee, and the Sherry Netherland (the \"Consultation Parties\") and will consult with the Consultation Parties regarding the selection of the general contractor. In addition, Genever US will provide the Consultation Parties with copies of all invoices received from the general contractor and any related subcontractors, engineers, or consultants in an amount greater than \\$25,000 before paying such invoices.\n\n7. Genever US shall file monthly status reports to update the Court and parties in interest as to the progress of the Remediation Project (including as it relates to the selection of\n\nthe general contractor, the estimated cost of the Remediation Project to be undertaken by the general contractor, and a summary of Genever US's expenditures with respect to the Remediation Project).\n\n8.

The Trustee, including as a holder of a proxy for Genever US, shall supervise and monitor the Remediation Project, including so as to ensure that Genever US only pays for remediation that is, in fact, the responsibility of Genever US, as opposed to the Sherry Netherland. For the avoidance of doubt, this Order does not approve any \"alteration agreement\" as between Genever US and the Sherry Netherland related to relative responsibilities of the parties with respect to the remediation of the Sherry Netherland Apartment. Genever US shall request separate Court approval of any such agreement by separate motion at the appropriate time. To the extent the parties are unable to reach agreement as to the allocation of costs, Genever US will bring the matter to the Court for resolution.\n\n10. Notwithstanding the provisions of Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) or any applicable provisions of the Local Rules, this Order shall not be stayed after the entry hereof, but shall be effective and enforceable immediately upon entry, and the 14-day stay provided in Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) is hereby expressly waived and shall not apply.\n\n11. Genever US is authorized and empowered to take all actions necessary to effectuate the relief granted in this Order.\n\n12. The terms and conditions of this Order shall be immediately effective and enforceable upon its entry.\n\n13.

Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯），作为 Ho Wan Kwok 遗产的受托人（仅为通知和通信之目的）。\n\n2 本补充文件中使用但未另行定义的首字母大写术语，具有动议中赋予其的含义。\n\n2. 就石棉清除项目而言，Genever US 还将需要某些相关服务，包括空气监测、从墙壁上拆除暖气片，以及在清除工作期间提供电力和供水连接。该等服务不包含在 ABF 方案中。因此，Genever US 还请求聘请：\n\n一、GBTS 提供空气监测及相关服务，包括最终清场检测，以及编制将提交至纽约市建筑部门的差异图纸4，估计总费用为 $15,900；\n\n二、George Breslaw Plumbing, LLC（乔治·布雷斯劳管道有限责任公司，下称“Breslaw”）为石棉清除工作连接临时淋浴设施，并拆除暖气片，以及在石棉清除项目完成后重新连接暖气片，估计总费用为 $7,350；以及\n\n3 Genever US 目前正在分析其中部分费用（例如墙壁中的石棉）在何种程度上应由 Sherry Netherland 和/或其保险人负责。在其承担责任的范围内，Genever US 将向其请求支付该等费用。\n\n4 如前所述，因需从墙壁中清除石棉，故塑料围护结构必须包含开口，以便 ABF 在清除项目期间能够接近墙壁，因此有必要提交差异申请。Genever US 了解到，获得纽约市的该等批准可能需要 4 至 6 周，且只有在取得该等批准后方可开始清除石棉。为尽量减少延误，Genever US 已请求 GBTS 开始编制差异申请的程序。\n\n三、GEM Contracting Management LLC（GEM 承包管理有限责任公司，下称“GEM”）提供相关电气服务，例如为石棉清除项目所需的各类设备安装临时电力馈线，估计总费用为 $2,200。GBTS、Breslaw 和 GEM 提交的工作方案副本分别作为附件 2、附件 3 和附件 4 附于本补充文件之后。GBTS、Breslaw 和 GEM 均拥有在 Sherry Netherland 大楼内工作的丰富经验，且均获 Acheson Doyle（艾奇逊·多伊尔）的推荐，即 Genever US 拟聘请的修复项目建筑师。此外，鉴于 GBTS 已对受影响区域进行了石棉勘测，其尤适于提供空气监测服务并编制必要的差异申请。\n\n3. 为明确起见，拟议命令已规定 Genever US 可以聘请为修复受影响区域所必需的承包商（包括与清除石棉有关的承包商）。尽管如此，为免生疑义，Genever US 已修订拟议命令，以明确说明，如获准，其有权就石棉清除项目获得上述第三方服务，并在修复项目的正常过程中向该等服务提供商付款，无需法院进一步批准。经修订的拟议命令副本作为附件 5 附于本补充文件之后。经修订的拟议命令的红线版本，标示了对随动议附具的拟议命令所作的变更，作为附件 6 附于本补充文件之后。\n\n4. 最后，Genever US 指出，应 United States Trustee（美国受托人）的要求，其还澄清了经修订的拟议命令，规定其中任何内容均不授权聘用或支付任何律师的报酬。\n\n[本页其余部分特意留白。]\n\n鉴于上述理由，Genever US 谨此请求法院作出作为附件 5 附于本补充文件之后的经修订拟议命令，准予动议中请求的救济（经本补充文件澄清）。\n\n日期：2023年9月8日，纽约州纽约市\n\n代表：/s/ G.

Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 遗产的第11章受托人）（“Genever Holdings”）提交本方案，就位于 New York, NY 10022, 781 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1801 的石棉清除工作提供环境咨询服务（下称“标的物业”）。\n\n工作范围\n\n任务 1——用于备案的 ATRU、差异图纸及最终检查\n\n任务 2——第三方空气监测\n\n清除过程检查\n\n经适当认证/许可的项目监测员/空气采样专业人员应每日监督清除活动，以确保符合项目规范（如适用）以及地方、州和联邦要求。活动应包括：\n\n一、按要求妥善布设和收集空气样本；\n\n二、完成记录承包商活动的每日施工日志；\n\n三、记录有关不符合要求活动的说明；\n\n四、核实所有工程控制措施均已到位；以及\n\n五、与高级项目经理/客户主管、客户及承包商审查每日空气采样结果。\n\n项目管理\n\n每个项目均应指派一名项目经理，其应向现场技术人员提供每日管理支持，并每日与承包商及客户进行沟通。项目管理团队的职责可能包括以下任何事项：\n\n1350 Broadway, Suite 1904，New York, NY 10018　电话：212-631-9000　传真：212-631-8066　www.gallagherbassett.com\n\n1. 审查承包商通知及施工前（清除前）提交文件；\n2. 审查并确定必要的保险要求；\n3. 审查承包商提交的健康与安全计划；\n4. 审查清除项目期间的提交文件；\n5. 编制石棉清除合同；\n6. 编制并审查承包商的工程价目表，审查承包商依据预先确定的进度计划提交的付款申请，并建议批准或对其作出修改；\n7. 主持每周现场会议，以讨论现场活动，并编制每周会议纪要供各方分发；\n8. 根据需要与所有监管机构联络（包括现场检查和函件往来）；\n9. 协助现场工人的现场管理；\n10. 根据需要指派经认证/持照的石棉专业人员，以充分监督承包商的清除活动；\n11. 协助核实所有现场工作人员的认证资格；\n12. 管理空气监测工作，包括每日审查和分发空气采样结果；\n13. 获取每日施工日志副本，以供每日审查；\n14. 协调所有最终工作区域检查和验收；\n15. 为每个获准重新使用的工作区域取得并签发“清场证明函”；\n16. 如适用，审查并处理事故报告；\n17. 如适当，审查所有承包商变更令；以及\n18. 汇编所有现场文件，以编制最终结项报告。\n\n空气监测\n\n地方、州和联邦机构对清除前、清除期间及清除后的空气监测有不同要求。在要求进行此类监测时，GBTS 使用在实施工作所在州取得认证/执照的人员进行采样。采样计划根据地方、州和联邦要求制定，通常包括按照相差显微镜法（PCM）、NIOSH Method 7400, Issue 3: 29 April 2019 或其最新版本进行空气样本采集和分析。相差显微镜样本应由熟练参与 American Industrial Hygiene Association Proficiency Analytical Testing (AIHA PAT) Program 的实验室，或由成功参与 AIHA Asbestos Analyst Registry (AAR) 的分析人员进行分析。对于使用透射电子显微镜法（TEM）进行的样本分析，实验室应根据 National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) 获得认可，并应证明其实施的分析符合 40 CFR 763 Subpart E Appendix A 所列规程。样本分析及结果报告的最长周转时间因联邦、州和地方要求而异。\n\n所有采样设备均应按照可追溯至一级标准的方法进行校准。每个样本采集前后，泵均应至少使用二级标准重新校准。应保存所有校准记录，并将其纳入每日日志。\n\n清除前空气采样（如需要）\n\n如地方、州和/或联邦要求规定，在工作开始前，应采集空气样本，以便通过 PCM 和/或 TEM 进行分析。采样和分析方法应如上所述，并符合州和地方要求。这些样本应在拟议隔离区内外任何与清除有关的活动开始前采集。\n\n背景采样的时间安排应符合适用法规。\n\n清除期间空气监测\n\n1. 应根据适用法规在相应地点采集样本，包括（如需要）：\na. 工作区域外的关键隔离屏障处；\nb. 工人及废弃物去污单元的清洁室内；\nc. 工作区域上下楼层；\nd. 负压空气过滤设备（AFDs）/负压机（NAM）向租户区域或有人使用区域排气的地点；\ne. AFDs 向室外环境排气的地点；\nf. 建筑物外（环境空气样本）；以及\ng. 如地方或州法规要求，为清除人员进行采样。\n2. 样本采集应严格遵守有关样本地点、流量和达到必要分析灵敏度所需采样量的地方、州和联邦要求。\n3. 样本分析周转时间（TAT）应符合相应监管机构的要求。\n\n最终清场检测\n\n在经认证/持照的石棉专业人员成功完成最终检查后，并在最终清洁和目视检查之间经过适当等待期后，应进行强化清场空气采样。工作区域在通过最终目视检查前，不得进行最终空气清场采样。\n\n1. 采样器的数量和布置应符合地方、州和联邦要求。\n2. 最终空气清场采样的分析方法，无论为 PCM 还是 TEM，均应符合相应标准。\na. 对于 PCM 分析，当受影响工作区域采集的样本结果显示每个样本的纤维浓度小于或等于 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc) 时，该项目应视为完成。\nb. 对于 TEM 分析，清场标准确定为：在工作区域内采集的所有样本的平均浓度中，纤维密度低于每平方毫米 70 个结构（s/mm2 ）。\n3. 未能达到上述清场标准，将使承包商有义务重新清洁工作区域并对该工作区域重新检测。\n4. 最终清场结果一经获得，应传达给客户和承包商。\n\n最终目视检查程序\n\n在工作区域通过由具有适当资格（经认证/持照）的人员实施的最终目视检查前，不得进行最终空气清场采样。该人员通常独立于承包商，由业主聘用以核实补救工作。\n\n目视检查程序用于评估石棉清除项目的以下四个方面：\n\n1. 工作范围内 ACM 的清除程度；\n2. 项目工作履行情况/承包商执行情况；\n3. 清除的完整性；以及\n4. 清理的完整性。\n\nGBTS 的程序包括以下内容：\n\n1. 经认证/持照的石棉专业人员应充分了解清除计划的范围；\n2. 工作区域检查由 GBTS 石棉专业人员以及石棉清除公司的项目经理或主管共同实施；\n3. 检查确认所有容器化废弃物均已从工作区域移除，且未移除材料已得到处理；\n4. 除负压空气过滤设备外，所有设备均已从工作区域移除；\n5. 检查核实所有已清除表面上或周围所有可见 ACM 碎屑或残留物均已被彻底移除。石棉已被移除的表面和构件上存在无需使用放大设备即可看见的残留物，表明这些表面需要进一步清洁。应注意，可见碎屑并不限于疑似 ACM。工作区域应无任何碎屑和灰尘；\n6. 主管和 GBTS 代表均应在石棉清除承包商主管的每日日志中记载目视检查结果；以及\n7. 对清除和清理完整性的可接受目视检查可提高该区域通过最终空气清场检测的可能性，但并不保证其能够通过。\n\nGBTS 的最终目视检查应遵循联邦、州和地方法规以及公认标准（指南），其中可能包括：\n\n1. ASTM Standard E1368《石棉清除项目目视检查标准操作规程》；和/或\n2. 学校含石棉材料规则（40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E）。\n\n工作完成后，应编制正式报告，记录所提供的监督服务，并包括空气监测结果、施工日志和平面图（如适用）。\n\n费用\n\nGBTS 提议按照以下费用表提供上述服务：\n任务 1 – 用于备案的 ATRU 和变更图纸及最终检查.......................................... $6,750\n任务 2 – 第三方空气监测和项目管理\n\n估计\n八个班次，每班次 $850　$6,800\n\n项目管理 –\n\n按 $160/hour 计费的工时　$1,600\n最终报告 –\n固定总额　$750\n任务 2 估计总费用\n$9,150\n\n假设和说明\n\n基于时间和材料/时费率的任务应视为估算，并以未经客户授权不得超过的估计金额为基础。实际现场条件可能影响最终费用。基于固定总额的任务仅适用于上述所述工作范围。\n\n客户要求并批准的额外工作应按时费率计费。所有工作均应按照所附费用表和条款与条件实施。\n\n如我们未收到免税通知或资本改善证明，发票应包括适用的 NY Sales Tax。付款应于收到发票后 30 天内到期。付款完全由 Genever Holdings LLC（Genever Holdings 有限责任公司）c/o Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯），作为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）遗产的 Chapter 11 Trustee（第11章受托人）负责，且不以第三方资金、交易交割或保险追偿为条件。\n\n进度安排\n\nGBTS 应在一个工作日内完成现场工作，在收到实验室报告后两个营业日内提供口头结果，并在 10 个营业日内提供完整报告。\n\n授权\n\n我们相信本提案将符合您的期望。本服务应根据随附并构成本文件组成部分的 Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc.（加拉格尔·巴塞特服务公司）Standard Terms and Conditions（标准条款与条件），version 3/22/2023 提供。如前述范围符合您的理解，请在下方签字确认您已接受并同意，并退回原件；该原件届时将构成我们之间的协议。本提案及 Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc.

中所述的服务（以下简称“服务”），GBTS 同意提供该等服务。客户提出的任何附加条款和条件均遭反对，且除非经 GBTS 授权代表以书面形式明确同意，否则对 GBTS 不具有约束力。所提供的服务不具有法律性质，GBTS 在任何情况下均不向客户提供或被要求提供任何法律意见或法律代理。本协议不为客户或 GBTS 以外的任何一方创设任何权利或利益。GBTS 对影响项目施工、进度安排、质量、工艺，或危险状况和作业方式纠正的决定或行动不具有任何权限。该等责任，包括纠正危险状况和作业方式的责任，仍由客户项目主管、项目经理以及相应承包商或分包商人员承担。GBTS 仅有权进行观察、提出建议及作出推荐。\n\n2. 付款条款\n\n客户确认，及时支付 GBTS 的发票是 GBTS 提供服务所要求对价的重要组成部分。对于 GBTS Proposal

GBTS 与客户之间建立代理、合伙或合资关系。\n\n3. 变更订单\n\n客户和/或 GBTS 均有权修改 Proposal 中规定的服务范围、规格和时间要求，并可根据本协议双方认为适当且同意的内容，对该等服务的成本和费用作出公平调整。该等服务修改应以书面形式作出、附于本协议，并通过援引纳入本协议（“Change Order”，变更订单）。客户对 Proposal

应行使在相同或类似地点、同一或类似期间内，从事本协议项下拟提供之同类服务的安全、环境、建筑、索赔和风险管理咨询专业人士在类似情形下通常行使的注意程度和技能。如 Proposal 要求，GBTS 将就安全和风险管理最佳实践提供其最佳专业判断。合理的人可能会对涉及专业判断的事项持有不同意见，因此，就专业判断问题存在意见分歧，不得免除客户支付已提供服务费用的义务，亦不得导致 GBTS 承担责任。除上述明确承诺外，GBTS 不向客户作出、提供或保证与 GBTS 服务有关的任何明示或默示保证或担保。在不限制前述规定且仅以举例说明的情况下，GBTS 明确不作出任何陈述、担保、承诺或其他保证，即客户不会被发出任何违法通知、传票、停工令或其他政府传票、罚款或处罚。客户及\n\n客户的承包商应及时将 GBTS 服务中任何实际存在或疑似存在的缺陷通知 GBTS，以协助 GBTS 采取纠正措施弥补该等缺陷和/或协助将任何该等缺陷的后果降至最低。若未给予 GBTS 合理机会纠正服务，GBTS 不对客户的任何损害承担责任。\n\n5. 客户责任\n\n除本协议所述其他责任外，客户应当：(i) 在服务开始前，提供有关客户对项目的要求、目标和预期的全部信息和标准，包括所有须达到的数值标准、所有开发、设计或施工标准，以及完成服务所合理必要的所有其他信息；(ii) 及时、完整地披露已知或潜在的危险状况或健康与安全风险；(iii) 在合理期限内向 GBTS 提供与项目有关的所有先前研究、计划或其他文件，以及与之有关的所有新数据和决定，以免延误服务；(iv) 提供为完成 GBTS 服务所必需的政府主管机关、包括但不限于业主、贷款人等在内的第三方所作出的批准、同意和许可，并在客户知悉任何影响上述其他方批准和同意的事态发展时通知 GBTS；(v) 在客户知悉任何影响 GBTS 服务范围和时间安排的事态发展，或项目任何方面存在任何缺陷或不合规情形时，及时向 GBTS 发出书面通知；以及 (vi) 承担与客户责任有关的一切费用。客户同意，如 GBTS 作为服务的一部分被要求进行侵入性及破坏性活动，包括但不限于侵入性土壤和地下水测试、开挖试坑及清理树木等路径，客户应对所有该等侵入性及破坏性活动承担责任，并已作出全部披露，且已就 GBTS 开展该等侵入性及破坏性活动，从所有相关第三方（包括但不限于业主、贷款人或任何融资方、政府主管机关等）取得全部必要的许可、批准和同意。GBTS 有权合理依赖客户所作全部披露以及客户所取得信息和批准的准确性及完整性。\n\n客户应提供其控制范围内可能与服务履行有关的全部研究、报告、数据及其他信息。GBTS 有权使用并依赖所有该等信息。客户对因向 GBTS 提供的信息所导致的服务错误承担唯一责任。\n\n6. 安全\n\n客户有义务告知 GBTS 客户知悉的任何适用现场安全程序和规定，以及现场任何特殊安全问题或危险状况。GBTS 及其员工和/或分包商在收到通知后，有义务遵守该等程序和规定。\n\n除非 Proposal 中另有明确规定，GBTS 对工作现场其他人员的整体工作安全不承担任何责任。工作现场安全，以及采取纠正行动和处理危险工作现场状况及危险工人作业方式的权限，仍由客户、施工许可证持有人以及专业承包商和分包商承担。如 GBTS 认为其现场人员无法进入所需地点，或无法依照适用安全标准提供所需服务，GBTS 可立即暂停履行，而不构成本协议项下的任何违约或责任，直至达到该等安全标准。如在合理期限内，现场作业或状况未能达到该等安全标准，GBTS 可自行决定根据本协议所载终止条款终止其履行；在该情况下，客户应按本协议规定支付服务费用及终止费用。\n\n除非 Proposal 中另有明确规定，GBTS 无权指挥、监督或控制任何专业承包商及专业承包商工人，包括该等专业承包商及专业承包商工人所采用的手段和方法。\n\n7. 保险\n\n如项目实施业主控制保险计划（“OCIP”）和/或承包商控制保险计划（“CCIP”），GBTS 应被纳入该等计划，并获得该等计划项下提供的保险保障，且无需 GBTS 承担任何额外成本或费用，亦无需就相关保险计划保障的成本给予抵扣。\n\nGBTS

应就因其在本协议项下履行服务时的过失行为、错误或遗漏而引起或产生的，由客户、其高级职员、董事、雇员、关联方及继受人遭受的任何及全部第三方财产损失和/或人身伤害、损害、损失及费用的索赔、要求、诉讼、诉因、程序、判决和责任（包括但不限于与之相关的合理法律费用和律师费，以下统称“Claims”，索赔），为客户及其高级职员、董事、雇员、代理人、代表、关联方及继受人进行抗辩（但仅限于 GBTS 保险承保的范围内）、予以赔偿并使其免受损害。\n\n客户应就因客户的指示或指令、违反本条款和条件，以及过失行为、错误或遗漏而引起或产生的，由 GBTS、其高级职员、董事、雇员、关联方及继受人遭受的任何及全部索赔，为 GBTS 及其高级职员、董事、雇员、关联方及继受人予以赔偿、进行抗辩并使其免受损害。\n\n在服务包括GBTS进行侵入性地面作业的范围内，客户应就因损坏地下或地下公用设施或构筑物而导致或引起的任何及全部索赔、损害、损失和费用（包括合理的法律费用和律师费），对GBTS予以赔偿并使其免受损害，包括但不限于燃气、电话、电力、供水或污水公用设施，前提是该等设施的位置在服务实施前未向GBTS标示或确认。\n9. 责任限制\n\n在任何情况下，客户和GBTS及其各自的高级管理人员、董事、雇员、代理人、代表、关联方及继承人均不对对方或任何第三方承担任何特别、附带、后果性、间接性或惩罚性损害赔偿责任，包括但不限于利润或收入的损失、延迟和／或减少、数据丢失或业务中断，无论该等责任是基于合同、侵权或其他责任理论产生，包括过失；双方特此相互解除并放弃对对方提出任何及全部该等索赔。本文所述的赔偿义务以及相互放弃和解除应在本协议终止或履行完毕后继续有效。\n\n在任何情况下，GBTS对客户承担的责任均不超过客户就本协议项下已履行的服务向GBTS支付的费用总额，或\\$100,000，以较高者为准。该限制适用于因任何原因或多种原因引起或与本协议项下所履行服务相关的任何及全部伤害、损害、索赔、损失、费用或索赔费用（包括律师费和专家证人费）。该等原因包括但不限于GBTS的过失、错误、遗漏、严格责任、法定责任、违约、违反保证、过失性失实陈述，或根据各类法律理论产生责任的其他行为，包括但不限于合同、侵权、专业责任、产品责任、保证或其他理论。\n\n客户同意，客户或由客户直接或间接雇用的任何承包商或分包商对GBTS提出的任何损害赔偿索赔，均应仅针对GBTS或其继承人或受让人提出，任何个人均不应就全部或部分损害赔偿承担个人责任。\n10. 争议解决\n\n如发生任何因本协议或其违约引起或与之有关的争议或索赔，客户和GBTS应努力通过有权解决该事项的双方代表之间的善意直接协商达成解决方案。如直接协商未能解决该事项，双方应本着善意努力通过调解解决该事项。如双方选择调解，任何一方均可在首次调解会议后随时向另一方和调解员发出书面通知以终止调解。调解费用由双方平均分担。双方同意，对因本协议产生的任何诉讼进行裁判的唯一适当管辖地应为位于Illinois（伊利诺伊州）Cook County（库克县）的有管辖权法院。各方应自行承担其诉讼费用和支出，包括专家费和律师费。\n11. 索赔通知和追诉\n\n客户的任何索赔，无论基于合同、侵权、违反保证或其他理由，均应视为已放弃，\n\n除非GBTS在客户知悉或合理应当知悉该索赔存在后一年（1）内收到该索赔的书面通知。\n12. 催收\n\n如客户账户在本协议项下发生付款违约后，由GBTS移交律师或催收机构进行催收，则客户应支付GBTS在该等催收工作中产生的所有费用，包括但不限于催收机构费用、法院费用和合理的律师费。尽管有上述规定或本文规定的任何其他条款，GBTS可在United States（美国）任何有管辖权的法院提起程序以催收款项。\n13.

不招揽\n\n在适用法律允许的范围内，未经GBTS事先书面同意，客户同意在本协议期限内及本协议终止后6个月期间内，不招揽或雇用GBTS的雇员。通过招聘人员、互联网、报纸、期刊或行业出版物广告进行的一般性就业招揽，如并非针对GBTS及其关联方的雇员，不应就本条款而言构成“招揽”。此外，本协议的任何规定均不得禁止客户雇用任何主动联系客户、且未受到客户直接或间接招揽或鼓励的人员，包括GBTS的雇员。\n16. 延误\n\n如GBTS的服务因超出GBTS控制范围的情形而中断，客户应补偿GBTS为在中断期间为客户利益维持GBTS项目团队连续性而产生的人工、设备及其他费用。或者，由客户选择，客户应补偿GBTS因撤场和后续重新进场而产生的各项费用。GBTS的报酬应以GBTS现行的成本和费用表为基础。除前述规定外，任何一方均不应使另一方对因超出另一方控制范围、且无法合理预见或防止的情形所造成的损害或履行延误负责。就本协议而言，该等情形包括但不限于：异常天气；洪水；流行病；战争；暴乱；\n\n罢工；停工或其他劳资纠纷；抗议示威；无法预见的现场条件；尽管已尽合理努力仍无法向项目提供人员、设备或材料；或政府的作为或不作为。如发生该等情形，客户和GBTS应尽最大努力克服由此产生的困难，并在合理可行的最早时间恢复履行服务。本条款范围内累计超过四十五（45）个日历日的延误，应由任何一方选择，使本协议进入重新协商或终止程序。\n17.
