On July 26, 2024, the Court granted the First Interim Fee Application.\n\n## **Summary of Professional Services**\n\n18. 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- 19. 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\n\nits 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\n20. The following is a summary, by matter, of the most significant professional\n\nservices rendered by Eisner as tax advisors during the Compensation Period. This summary is\n\norganized in accordance with Eisner's internal system of matter numbers.2\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\n\n#### **I. Tax Issues**\n\nTotal fees: \\$77,684.00 Total Hours: 124.9\n\n21. Time in this category includes reviewing of financial data for 2022 and 2023, reviewing cash receipts and disbursements, preparation of balance sheets, review tax basis, potential gains, alter ego rulings, asset recovery related court filings, motions relating to Kwok estate, preparation of 2022 and 2023 Kwok estate and 2023 Genever Holdings, LLC tax returns and addendums. The time includes various meetings with Trustee's counsel and Eisner colleagues relating to tax reporting matters, alter ego filings, asset basis matters, cash proceeds received and status and preparation of Kwok estate and Genever Holdings, LLC tax returns. Our time also includes discussions with counsel to the Trustee and Eisner colleagues to review and finalize the Kwok estate 2022 and 2023 tax returns. In addition, our time includes discussing and researching anticipated cash recoveries and potential tax planning with counsel to the Trustee and Eisner colleagues.\n\n### **II. Fee/Employment Application**\n\nTotal fees: \\$4,090.00 Total Hours: 6.9\n\n22. Time in this category was spent preparing the first interim fee application, including reviewing, and preparing a complete summary of services.\n\n### **Reasonable and Necessary Services Rendered by Eisner**\n\n23. 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\ndescription 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\n24. 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\n25. During the Compensation Period, Eisner handled a broad range of tax related responsibilities including the summarizing and analyzing of transactions during the Chapter 11 cases, research relating to asset recoveries, guidance relating to tax issues arising from and relating to asset recoveries and potential asset recoveries and the preparation of Kwok and Genever Holdings, LLC estate tax returns. Eisner also reviewed and discussed the alter ego rulings of the Bankruptcy Court with Counsel to the Trustee. Overall, Eisner provided the Trustee with advice to facilitate the administration of the Debtors' estates, assisted in the reporting of asset recoveries and the preparation of the Debtors' estates tax returns.\n\n26. During the Compensation Period, Eisner's hourly billing rates for the professionals responsible for managing these chapter 11 cases ranged from \\$220.00 to \\$750.00 per hour. Allowance of compensation in the amount requested would result in a blended hourly billing rate for professionals of approximately \\$620.44 (based on 131.8 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\n27. 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\n28. 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\n29. 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\n\nefficiently 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\n30. Eisner professionals spent a total of 131.8 hours during the Compensation Period, which services have a fair market value of \\$81,744.00. 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 Debtors and their estates, and were consistently performed in a timely manner commensurate with the complexity, importance, novelty and nature of the issues involved\n\n31. Accordingly, Eisner respectfully submits that approval of the compensation and expense reimbursement sought herein is warranted.\n\n#### **No Prior Request**\n\n32. 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 \\$81,744.00 consisting of reasonable and necessary professional services rendered by Eisner.\n\nDated: October 15, 2024 */s/ Anthony R.

Eisner是一家信誉良好的税务咨询公司，专门就节税策略提供咨询，并协助应对财务决策和交易的税务后果。Eisner擅长通过研究帮助客户减少税款、降低已评定的罚款，以及建立付款安排和税务相关缴款。进一步而言，Eisner凭借其在该等事项中的丰富经验，为破产案件提供税务解决方案，已使受托人显著受益。\n\n25. 在补偿期间，Eisner处理了广泛的税务相关职责，包括汇总和分析第11章案件期间的交易、开展与资产追回有关的研究、就因资产追回及潜在资产追回而产生和与之相关的税务问题提供指导，以及编制Kwok和Genever Holdings, LLC遗产的纳税申报表。Eisner还与受托人律师审阅并讨论了破产法院的另我裁定。总体而言，Eisner向受托人提供建议，以促进债务人遗产的管理，协助申报资产追回情况，并协助编制债务人遗产的纳税申报表。\n\n26. 在补偿期间，负责管理该等第11章案件的Eisner专业人员的每小时计费费率介于\\$220.00至\\$750.00之间。准许所请求数额的报酬，将导致专业人员的综合每小时计费费率约为\\$620.44（基于Eisner按提供服务时有效的常规计费费率记录的131.8小时）。Eisner在本案中采用的小时费率和相应费率结构，通常等同于Eisner在类似事项中主要采用的小时费率和相应费率结构，无论该等事项是否属于第11章案件，亦无论是否需要提交费用申请。\n\n应准许Eisner所请求的报酬\n\n27. 《破产法》第331条规定了专业人员的中期报酬，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“对实际提供的必要服务的合理报酬，以及对实际发生的必要费用的偿还”。《破产法》第330条还规定了授予该等报酬和费用偿还的标准：\n\n28. 在确定应授予的合理报酬数额时，法院应考虑该等服务的性质、范围和价值，并考量所有相关因素，包括：\n\n- 提供该等服务所花费的时间；\n- 就该等服务收取的费率；\n- 该等服务对于管理本法项下案件，或者在提供服务时对于完成该案件是否必要或有益；\n- 该等服务是否在与所处理问题、争议或任务的复杂性、重要性和性质相称的合理时间内完成；以及\n- 根据具有可比技能的从业人员在本法项下案件以外案件中通常收取的报酬，该等报酬是否合理。\n11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3).\n\n29. 在本案中，Eisner谨陈，其在本申请中寻求报酬的服务对于受托人和债务人遗产而言是必要且有益的，并且是为保护和维护债务人遗产而提供的。Eisner谨陈，所提供的服务以节约、有效和高效的方式完成，迄今取得的结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、遗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是合理的。\n\n30. 在补偿期间，Eisner专业人员共投入131.8小时，该等服务的公平市场价值为\\$81,744.00。如本申请及为支持本申请而提交的所有证据材料所示，Eisner以节约方式且未发生不必要的重复投入而使用其时间。此外，所开展的工作均根据每项具体任务所需的经验和专业水平，审慎分配给适当的专业人员。综上，Eisner提供的服务对于受托人、债务人及其遗产而言是必要且有益的，并且始终以与所涉问题的复杂性、重要性、新颖性和性质相称的及时方式完成。\n\n31. 因此，Eisner谨陈，应批准本申请所请求的报酬及费用偿还。\n\n无先前请求\n\n32. 此前未曾向本院或任何其他法院提出请求本申请所述救济的申请。\n\n［本页其余部分特意留白。］\n\n因此，Eisner请求准许其就补偿期间发生的费用和开支获得偿还，总额为\\$81,744.00，该数额由Eisner提供的合理且必要的专业服务构成。\n\n日期：October 15, 2024　/s/ Anthony R.
