Pursuant to, and consistent with, the relevant requirements of the Local\n\nBankruptcy Rules (the \"Guidelines\"), as applicable, the following exhibits are attached hereto:\n\n- a. **Exhibit A** contains a certification by the undersigned regarding compliance with the Guidelines (the \"Certification\");\n- b. **Exhibit B** contains a list of Eisner's project categories and the total billed to each category during the Compensation Period;\n- c. **Exhibit C** contains a billing summary for the Compensation Period that includes the name of each professional for whose work compensation is sought, the aggregate time expended by each professional and the corresponding hourly billing rate at Eisner's current billing rates, and an indication of the individual amounts requested as part of this Application;\n- d. **Exhibit D** contains the time detail for the Compensation Period;\n- e. **Exhibit E** consists of Eisner's records of expenses incurred during the Compensation Period in the rendition of the professional services to the Debtors and their estates; and\n- f. **Exhibit F** contains the proposed order requesting approval of this Application.\n- 17. To provide a meaningful summary of services rendered on behalf of the Trustee\n\nand the Debtors' estates for the Compensation Period, Eisner has established, in accordance with its internal billing procedures, the following matter numbers in connection with these cases:\n\n| Matter No. | Matter Description         |\n|------------|----------------------------|\n| 1          | Tax Advisory Services      |\n| 2          | Fee/Employment Application |\n\n18. The following is a summary, by matter, of the most significant professional services rendered by Eisner as tax advisors during the Compensation Period. This summary is organized in accordance with Eisner's internal system of matter numbers.2\n\n## **I. Tax Issues**\n\nTotal fees: \\$64,106.00 Total Hours: 104.4\n\n19. Time in this category includes reviewing the Debtors' prior year tax returns to identify tax filing entities, jurisdictions, and possible loss carry forwards, researching income tax attributes for possible future years of tax liability offsets. The time includes communicating with the Internal Revenue Service and the processing of several Power of Attorney documents for the Debtors. Our time includes services to review, plan and perform the initial preparation of 2022 and 2023 tax returns, the preparation of income tax extensions, review sources of 2023 income\n\n<sup>2</sup> This summary of services rendered during the Compensation Period is not intended to be a detailed or exhaustive description of the work performed by Eisner, but, rather, is intended to highlight certain key areas where Eisner provided services to the Debtors' estates during the Compensation Period. A summary description of the work performed, categorized by project code, and those day-to-day services and the time expended in performing such services, are set forth in the attached exhibits.\n\nand related offsetting expenses, review and analyze Monthly Operating Reports for further details of the cash receipts and cash disbursements. In addition, our time includes numerous tax return planning calls with Trustee's counsel to discuss potential tax treatments by the estate. Our time also includes reviewing and researching documents, other filings to assist in determining income tax basis for Individual Debtor's assets that were sold and or liquidated by the Trustee.\n\n#### **II. Fee/Employment Application**\n\nTotal fees: \\$2,870.00 Total Hours: 4.3\n\n20. Time in this category was spent preparing the retention application and this fee application, including reviewing and revising a complete summary of services and related issues.\n\n#### **Reasonable and Necessary Services Rendered by Eisner**\n\n21. The foregoing professional services rendered by Eisner on behalf of the Debtors' estates during the Compensation Period were reasonable, necessary, and appropriate to the administration of the Debtors' chapter 11 cases and related matters.\n\n22. Eisner is a reputable tax advisory firm, specializing in advising on tax-efficient strategies and navigating the tax consequences of financial decisions and transactions. Eisner is an expert in helping clients minimize taxes through research, reducing assessed penalties, and establishing payment arrangements and tax-related contributions. Further, Eisner provides tax solutions in bankruptcy cases, leveraging extensive experience in these matters, which has benefited the Trustee significantly.\n\n23. During the Compensation Period, Eisner handled a range of tax-related responsibilities, including analyzing transactions during the chapter 11 cases and providing guidance to the Trustee about tax issues arising from and relating to asset recovery. Eisner also processed power of attorney documents, communicated with the Internal Revenue Service,\n\nprepared extension forms, and analyzed monthly operating reports in order to advise the Trustee on tax matters. Overall, Eisner provided the Trustee with expert advice to facilitate the administration of the Debtors' estates and assist in structuring asset recoveries in a tax-efficient manner.\n\n24. During the Compensation Period, Eisner's hourly billing rates for the professionals responsible for managing these chapter 11 cases ranged from \\$430.00 to \\$690.00 per hour. Allowance of compensation in the amount requested would result in a blended hourly billing rate for professionals of approximately \\$616.00 (based on 108.1 recorded hours at Eisner's regular billing rates in effect at the time of the performance of services). The hourly rates and corresponding rate structure utilized by Eisner in these cases are generally equivalent to the hourly rates and corresponding rate structure predominantly used by Eisner for comparable matters, whether in chapter 11 or otherwise, regardless of whether a fee application is required.\n\n#### **Eisner's Requested Compensation Should be Allowed**\n\n25. Section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for interim compensation of professionals and incorporates the substantive standards of section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code to govern the Court's award of such compensation. Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a court may award a professional employed under section 327 of the Bankruptcy Code \"reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered . . . and reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses.\" Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code also sets forth the criteria for the award of such compensation and reimbursement:\n\n26. In determining the amount of reasonable compensation to be awarded, the court should consider the nature, extent, and the value of such services, taking into account all relevant factors, including:\n\n- the time spent on such services;\n- the rates charged for such services;\n- whether the services were necessary to the administration of, or beneficial at the time at which the service was rendered toward the completion of, a case under this title;\n- whether the services were performed within a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problem, issue, or task addressed; and\n- whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases other than cases under this title.\n\n#### 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3).\n\n27. In the instant case, Eisner respectfully submits that the services for which it seeks compensation in the Application were necessary for and beneficial to the Trustee and the Debtors' estates and were rendered to protect and preserve the Debtors' estates. Eisner respectfully submits that the services rendered were performed economically, effectively and efficiently and that the results obtained to date have benefited all stakeholders in the cases. Eisner further submits that the compensation requested herein is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and value of such services to the Trustee and the Genever Debtors, the estates, and all parties in interest.\n\n28. Eisner professionals spent a total of 108.7 hours during the Compensation Period, which services have a fair market value of \\$66,976.00. As demonstrated by the Application and all of the exhibits submitted in support hereof, Eisner spent its time economically and without unnecessary duplication. In addition, the work conducted was carefully assigned to appropriate professionals according to the experience and level of expertise required for each particular task. In summary, the services rendered by Eisner were necessary and beneficial to the Trustee, the\n\nDebtors and their estates, and were consistently performed in a timely manner commensurate with the complexity, importance, novelty and nature of the issues involved\n\n29. Accordingly, Eisner respectfully submits that approval of the compensation and expense reimbursement sought herein is warranted.\n\n#### **No Prior Request**\n\n30. No prior application for the relief requested herein has been made to this or any other court.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\nWHEREFORE, Eisner requests that it be allowed reimbursement for its fees and\n\nexpenses incurred during the Compensation Period in the total amount of \\$66,976.00 consisting of reasonable and necessary professional services rendered by Eisner.\n\nDated: June 24, 2024 */s/ Anthony R.

Eisner 代表债务人财产在报酬期间提供的上述专业服务，对债务人第11章案件及相关事项的管理而言属合理、必要且适当。\n\n22. Eisner（艾斯纳）是一家信誉良好的税务咨询公司，专门就税收效率策略提供建议，并协助应对财务决定和交易所产生的税务后果。Eisner 擅长通过研究、减少核定罚款、建立付款安排及税务相关缴款，协助客户最大限度降低税负。此外，Eisner 凭借在此类事项中的丰富经验，为破产案件提供税务解决方案，该等服务已使受托人获益匪浅。\n\n23. 在报酬期间，Eisner 处理了多项税务相关职责，包括分析第11章案件期间的交易，并就资产追回所产生及相关的税务问题向受托人提供指引。Eisner 还处理授权委托书文件，与美国国税局（Internal Revenue Service）沟通，准备延期表格，并分析月度经营报告，以便就税务事项向受托人提供建议。总体而言，Eisner 向受托人提供专家意见，以促进债务人财产的管理，并协助以符合税收效率的方式构建资产追回安排。\n\n24. 在报酬期间，负责管理该等第11章案件的 Eisner 专业人员的小时计费费率为每小时 $430.00 至 $690.00。批准所请求金额的报酬，将导致专业人员的综合小时计费费率约为 $616.00（基于 Eisner 按服务履行时有效的常规计费费率所记录的 108.1 小时）。Eisner 在本案中采用的小时费率及相应费率结构，通常等同于 Eisner 在第11章案件或其他可比事项中主要采用的小时费率及相应费率结构，无论是否需要提出费用申请。\n\n应批准 Eisner 所请求的报酬\n\n25. 《破产法》第331条规定了专业人员的临时报酬，并纳入《破产法》第330条的实体标准，以规范法院对此类报酬的裁定。《破产法》第330条规定，法院可向根据《破产法》第327条聘用的专业人员授予“就已提供的实际、必要服务作出的合理报酬……以及对实际、必要费用的偿还。”《破产法》第330条还规定了授予此类报酬和偿还的标准：\n\n26. 在确定应授予的合理报酬金额时，法院应考虑该等服务的性质、范围和价值，并考虑所有相关因素，包括：\n\n- 为该等服务所花费的时间；\n- 为该等服务收取的费率；\n- 该等服务对于管理本法项下案件是否必要，或在服务提供时对于完成该案件是否有益；\n- 该等服务是否在与所处理的问题、争议或任务的复杂性、重要性及性质相称的合理时间内完成；以及\n- 基于具有相当技能的执业人员在本法项下案件以外案件中通常收取的报酬，该报酬是否合理。\n11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3)。\n\n27. 在本案中，Eisner 谨此陈述，其在本申请中请求报酬的服务对于受托人和债务人财产属必要且有益，并且该等服务旨在保护及保存债务人财产。Eisner 谨此陈述，所提供的服务以经济、有效且高效的方式完成，迄今取得的成果已使案件中的所有利益相关方受益。Eisner 进一步陈述，鉴于该等服务对受托人、Genever 债务人、财产及所有利害关系方的性质、范围和价值，本申请所请求的报酬属合理。\n\n28. Eisner 专业人员在报酬期间共花费 108.7 小时，该等服务的公平市场价值为 $66,976.00。如本申请及为支持本申请所提交的全部附件所示，Eisner 以经济方式使用其时间，且未有不必要的重复。此外，所进行的工作均根据各特定任务所需的经验和专业水平，审慎分配给适当的专业人员。总而言之，Eisner 所提供的服务对于受托人、债务人及其财产属必要且有益，并始终以与所涉问题的复杂性、重要性、新颖性及性质相称的及时方式完成。\n\n29. 因此，Eisner 谨此陈述，应批准本申请所请求的报酬及费用偿还。\n\n此前未提出请求\n\n30. 此前未曾向本法院或任何其他法院提出本申请所请求救济的申请。\n\n[本页其余部分有意留白。]\n\n据此，Eisner 请求准予其就报酬期间发生的费用及开支获得偿还，总额为 $66,976.00，该金额由 Eisner 提供的合理且必要的专业服务构成。\n\n日期：June 24, 2024\n/s/ Anthony R.
