I am making this declaration (the \"Declaration\") in my capacity as Chair of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the \"Committee\") appointed in the above-captioned chapter 11 proceeding (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of the above-captioned debtor and debtor in possession (the \"Debtor\") in support of the *Application of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Entry of an Order Authorizing the Employment and Retention of Dundon Advisers LLC as Financial Advisor Effective as of May 3, 2022* (the \"Application\") on behalf of the Committee.\n\n## **The Committee's Selection of Dundon as Financial Advisor**\n\n2. Dundon is proposed to serve as financial advisor to the Committee. The Committee recognizes that a review process is necessary in managing a financial advisor to ensure that bankruptcy professionals are subject to the same scrutiny and accountability as professionals in non-bankruptcy engagements. The review process utilized by the Committee\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtor is known by the following names: Guo Wengui; Miles Guo; Miles Kwok; and Ho Wan Kwok.\n\nhere assessed potential committee financial advisors based on their expertise in similar proceedings.\n\n3. On March 22, 2022, the Office of the United States Trustee (the \"U.S. Trustee\") for Region 2 appointed the Committee, consisting of the following three (3) members: (i) Rui Ma, (ii) Ning Ye and (iii) Samuel Dan Nunberg. I was appointed the Chair of the Committee.\n\n4. On May 2, 2022, the Committee held a meeting and selected Dundon as financial advisor, subject to court approval. The Committee believes that Dundon's extensive experience in corporate reorganizations, both out of court and under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, as well as its experience with the asset identification and forensic accounting make it well qualified to represent the Committee in this Chapter 11 Case in a cost-effective manner. Thus, the Committee decided to retain Dundon as the Committee's proposed financial advisor during this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n### **Rate Structure**\n\n5. Dundon has informed the Committee that its rates for bankruptcy representations are consistent with and comparable to the rates Dundon charges for non-bankruptcy representations. Dundon has informed the Committee that its current hourly rates apply to nonbankruptcy services, if any, provided by Dundon, unless a contingent fee, mixed contingent fee, flat fee, or blended rate arrangement is agreed upon.\n\n### **Cost Structure**\n\n6. The Committee will approve any budget and staffing plan provided by Dundon, recognizing that, in the course of chapter 11 cases like this Chapter 11 Case, it is possible that there may be a number of unforeseen fees and expenses that will need to be addressed by the Committee and Dundon. I further recognize that it is the Committee's responsibility to closely monitor the\n\n2\n\nbilling practices of their professionals to ensure the fees and expenses paid by the estate remain consistent with the Committee's expectations and the exigencies of the Chapter 11 Case. The Committee will continue to review the monthly fee applications or statements that Dundon regularly submits.\n\n 7. The Committee will be separately seeking to retain Gregory A. Coleman of Coleman Worldwide Advisors (\"Coleman\") as a fraud investigation consultant. The Committee will also continue to review the monthly fee applications or statements of both sets of professionals to ensure that there will be no duplication of time and effort between the two.

Dundon 已告知委员会，其破产代理业务的费率与 Dundon 收取的非破产代理业务费率一致且相当。Dundon 已告知委员会，其当前的小时费率适用于 Dundon 提供的非破产服务（如有），除非另行商定风险代理费、混合风险代理费、固定费用或混合费率安排。\n成本结构\n\n6. 委员会将批准 Dundon 提供的任何预算和人员配置计划，同时认识到，在诸如本第 11 章案件的第 11 章案件审理过程中，可能会出现许多不可预见的费用和开支，需要委员会和 Dundon 予以处理。我进一步认识到，委员会的责任是密切监督其聘请专业人士的计费行为，以确保由破产财产支付的费用和开支符合委员会的预期以及本第 11 章案件的紧急需要。委员会将继续审查 Dundon 定期提交的月度费用申请或账单。\n\n7. 委员会将另行寻求聘留 Coleman Worldwide Advisors（科尔曼全球顾问公司）（“Coleman”）的 Gregory A.
