In support of this Application, the Chapter 11 Trustee submits the *Declaration of Paul Hughes in Support of Application of Chapter 11 Trustee for Entry of Order, Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 327(e) and 330, Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016, and Local Bankruptcy Rules 2014-1 and 2016-1, Authorizing and Approving Retention and Employment of Kobre & Kim (GCC) LLP as Special Counsel in United Arab Emirates* (the \"Hughes Declaration\"), attached as **Exhibit C**, which is incorporated herein by reference. In further support of this Application, the Chapter 11 Trustee states the following:\n\n### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n1. By this Application, the Chapter 11 Trustee seeks entry of an order, substantially in the form of the proposed order filed herewith (the \"Proposed Order\"), authorizing and approving the retention and employment of Kobre & Kim as the Chapter 11 Trustee's special counsel in the UAE, effective as of November 13, 2024, to assist the Trustee in his efforts to recover assets of the Debtor's estate potentially located in the UAE.\n\n2. The Chapter 11 Trustee selected Kobre & Kim as his special counsel based on Kobre & Kim's familiarity with financial investigations, insolvency law, commercial litigation and financial disputes under UAE law.\n\n### **JURISDICTION, VENUE, AND STATUTORY BASES**\n\n3. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the *Standing Order of Reference* from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. This is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).\n\n4. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n5. The statutory bases for the relief requested herein are sections 327(e) and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, and, to the extent applicable, Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016, and Local Bankruptcy Rules 2014-1 and 2016-1.\n\n# **BACKGROUND**\n\n6. On February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), the Debtor filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n7. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the \"Committee\") in the Debtor's Chapter 11 Case.\n\n8. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Docket No. 465] (the \"Trustee Order\") directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Chapter 11 Trustee [Docket No. 514].\n\n9. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Chapter 11 Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case [Docket No. 523].\n\n# **KOBRE & KIM'S QUALIFICATIONS**\n\n10. Kobre & Kim is a law firm that focuses on financial investigations and international disputes. It has offices across the globe, including in Dubai at Office 27-01, Level 27, ICD Brookfield DIFC, Dubai, UAE. Kobre & Kim's areas of expertise include private investigations and suits aimed at combatting fraud, as well as restoring lost revenue and secreted assets, as well as complex restructuring and insolvency litigation and investigations for trustees, creditors, debtors, liquidators, and other investors.\n\n# **ANTICIPATED SERVICES**\n\n11. The Chapter 11 Trustee anticipates that Kobre & Kim will assist him in the investigation of assets and transfers connected to the Debtor that may be located in the UAE.<sup>2</sup> Due to the specialized nature of Kobre & Kim's role as special counsel in the UAE, there will be no duplication of services arising from Kobre & Kim's retention.\n\n# **COMPENSATION OF KOBRE & KIM**\n\n12. Kobre & Kim intends to apply to the Court for compensation for professional services rendered and for reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with this Chapter 11 Case pursuant to sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 2016, Local Bankruptcy Rule 2016-1, and any other applicable rules and orders with respect to this Chapter 11 Case. Kobre & Kim will charge the Debtor for its legal services on an hourly basis at its regularly applicable hourly rates in connection with the services required in the UAE.\n\n13. At present, the 2024 hourly rate of Kobre & Kim are \\$950 to \\$1,875 for lawyers,3 and \\$450 to \\$875 for paraprofessionals. Kobre & Kim will also bill for out-of-pocket expenses made on behalf of the Debtor, including photocopying, postage and package deliveries, court fees, transcripts, witness fees, service fees, travel expenses, and computer-aided research.\n\n14. The Debtor submits that Kobre & Kim's hourly rates are reasonable, comparable to Kobre & Kim's hourly rates for other engagements, and within the range of rates charged by comparably skilled professionals who offer the same services.\n\n<sup>2</sup> In the interest of maintain confidentiality regarding the ongoing investigation, the Trustee will not disclose the exact funds and assets believed to be located in the UAE.\n\n<sup>3</sup> Certain of Kobre & Kim's lawyers charge up to \\$2,750 per hour for highly specialized work. However, based on the scope of services currently envisaged, the Trustee does not presently expect such specialized work to be necessary. The Trustee reserves the right to engage Kobre & Kim lawyers with hourly rates of up to \\$2,750 as may be necessary in connection with specialized legal or investigatory work in the UAE, but will seek separate court approval if that may become necessary.\n\n# **KOBRE & KIM IS DISINTERESTED**\n\n15. To the best of the Chapter 11 Trustee's knowledge in reliance upon the Hughes Declaration, and except as disclosed therein, Kobre & Kim does not have any relationships with the Debtor, its creditors, or any other party-in-interest, their respective attorneys and accountants, the United States Trustee, or any person employed in the Office of the United States Trustee.\n\n16. More specifically, upon the basis of the Hughes Declaration, and except as disclosed therein, the Chapter 11 Trustee believes that: (a) Kobre & Kim has no connection with the Debtor, his creditors, the U.S. Trustee, any person employed in the office of the U.S. Trustee, or any other party with an actual or potential interest in the Debtor or his respective attorneys or accountants; and (b) Kobre & Kim and its employees (i) are not a creditors, equity security holders, or insiders of the Debtor or his affiliates, (ii) have not been, within two years before the Petition Date, a director, officer, or employee of the Debtor or his affiliates, and (iii) have not had any interest materially adverse to the interests of the Debtor's estate or any class of creditors or equity security holders by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in the Debtor, or for any other reason. Therefore, the Chapter 11 Trustee believes that Kobre & Kim is a \"disinterested person\" within the meaning of section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by section 1107(b).\n\n17. Based on the Hughes Declaration, the Chapter 11 Trustee believes that Kobre & Kim does not represent any adverse interest to unsecured creditors in connection with the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n# **BASIS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n18. The Chapter 11 Trustee requests to retain and employ Kobre & Kim as his special counsel in the UAE pursuant to section 327(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, which provides that the\n\ndebtor in possession \"may employ, for a specified special purpose, other than to represent the [debtor] in conducting the case, an attorney that has represented the debtor, if in the best interest of the estate, and if such attorney does not represent or hold any interest adverse to the debtor or to the estate with respect to the matter on which such attorney is to be employed.\" 11 U.S.C.\n\n§ 327(e)\n\n19. Bankruptcy Rule 2014(a) provides that an application for retention include:\n\nspecific facts showing the necessity for the employment, the name of the [firm] to be employed, the reasons for the selection, the professional services to be rendered, any proposed arrangement for compensation, and, to the best of the applicant's knowledge, all of the [firm's] connections with the debtor, creditors, any other party in interest, their respective attorneys and accountants, the United States trustee.\n\n20. The Chapter 11 Trustee requires the services of special counsel in the UAE to exercise his responsibilities. Kobre & Kim will endeavor to avoid the duplication of efforts and provide services as efficiently as possible.\n\n21. Accordingly, the employment of Kobre & Kim as the Chapter 11 Trustee's special counsel, upon the terms set forth herein and in the Proposed Order, is reasonable and in the best interest of the Debtor's estate.\n\n22. The Chapter 11 Trustee submits that Kobre & Kim's rates are reasonable, comparable to rates for other engagements, and within the range of rates charged by comparably skilled professionals who offer the same services.\n\n23. Local Bankruptcy Rule 2014-1 provides that if \"an application to employ a professional is filed within thirty (30) days after the commencement of services provided by that professional, the application shall be deemed contemporaneously filed unless the Court orders otherwise.\" As noted, the Chapter 11 Trustee requests authority to retain and employ Kobre & Kim effective November 13, 2024, which was the date that Kobre & Kim began\n\nproviding services to the Chapter 11 Trustee. While that date is 34 days from the date of filing of this Application, the Chapter 11 Trustee nevertheless requests that the retention be effective as of November 13, 2024.\n\n# **NOTICE**\n\n24. Notice of this Application has been given to the United States Trustee, the Debtor, the Committee, and, by electronic filing utilizing the Court's electronic filing (\"CM/ECF\") system, to all appearing parties who utilize the CM/ECF system.\n\n# **NO PRIOR REQUEST**\n\n25. No previous application for the relief requested herein has been made to this or any other Court.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\n# **CONCLUSION**\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Luc A. Despins, the Chapter 11 Trustee, requests that the Court enter an Order, substantially in the form of the Proposed Order filed herewith, granting the Application, and authorizing the Chapter 11 Trustee's employment of Kobre & Kim as special counsel in the UAE, and order such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.\n\nDated: December 17, 2024 Chapter 11 Trustee in Chapter 11 Case of Ho Wan Kwok\n\n> */s/ Luc A.

This will include a PowerPoint presentation on deliverables. timetables and budget for the possible options, as well as the probability of achieving the objectives.\n\n<sup>1</sup> As we are not qualified to practise mainland UAE law, certain tasks stated in this letter may need to be performed, and certain advice provided, by lawvers who are qualified in UAE law.\n\nAMERICAS (NEW YORK, DELAWARE, MIAMI, SAN FRANCISCO, SÃO PAULO, WASHINGTON DC) APAC (HONG KONG, SEOUL, SHANGHAI), CARIBREAN (BVI, CAYMN ISLANDS), EMEA (CYPRUS, DUBAI, LONDON, TEL AVIV\n\nKobre & Kim referred to herein is a reference to Korre & Kim (GCC) LLP, a limited liability partnership licensed in the Dubal INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTRE (COMMERCAL LICENSE NUMBER 5106) AND REGISTERED WITH THE DUBAL FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY (Reference Number Foo6880).\n\nشركة كوري والد كبر الشار البياني بالرغان مي شركة مي تركة كوري والا كم ردم ولكا ذات سوزياة مدينة لن دركز دبي المالي العالمي (بورجي الترجم التجاري ركم 106) و\n\nPage 2 Luc Despins 13 November 2024\n\n> · Execute on an agreed-upon UAE-focused strategy (with the exact scope and fee estimate to be determined once we have assessed the information and documents provided).\n\n(the \"Covered Services\")\n\nKobre & Kim is not being retained for any other purpose.\n\nPaul Hughes will be the partner primarily responsible for the representation of Client, assisted by other lawyers, analysts and/or litigation assistants in the DIFC or in other offices of affiliates of Kobre & Kim as may be necessary or advisable under the circumstances.\n\nClient has agreed that we may act and rely upon instructions from any of the following persons and/or entities as if such instructions had been given by Client: Nicholas Bassett.\n\nOur Engagement will begin from our receipt of your countersignature on this letter; provided, however, that our Engagement is subject to approval thereof by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Bankruptcy Court\").\n\nThe Engagement will automatically terminate and will be closed if a period of six months elapses without any invoicing, with the date of termination falling on the last day of the month containing a time entry invoiced for payment. No final invoice will be issued as the last invoice received by you will serve as the final invoice.\n\nNotwithstanding anything herein or the Standard Terms and Conditions (including Section 4 thereof) to the contrary, we agree not to take on engagements that would render Kobre & Kim no longer disinterested under section 327(e) of Title United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\").\n\n### 2. Fees\n\nWe strive to be transparent in our billing and we will generally seek to agree budgets for our work. These budgets may be amended during the course of the Engagement to reflect changes in scope and assumptions, and we may include for your consideration proposals for fixed-fee or alternative-fee options as alternatives to hourly billing.\n\nYou agree that fees charged within budgeted amounts are deemed reasonable and approved.\n\nOur fees for this Engagement will be based upon the hourly billing rates assigned to the individuals performing the services. Our lawyers currently charge US \\$950 to US \\$1,8752 per hour. Our non-lawyer professionals (e.g., Analysts and Litigation Assistants) charge US \\$450 to US \\$875 per hour. Up to eight hours per day of travel time may be charged per timekeeper.\n\n<sup>2</sup> Certain of our lawyers charge up to US \\$2,750 per hour for highly specialized work.

All legal fees are earned and due when the work is undertaken, and expenses are to be reimbursed as incurred by us.\n\nNotwithstanding anything herein or the Standard Terms and Conditions (including Sections 7 and 12 thereof) to the contrary, (a) payment of any fees and expenses in connection with this Engagement shall be made in such amounts as may be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court on proper applications in accordance with the procedures set forth in section 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code and the procedures established and required by the Bankruptcy Court and (b) all matters related to the payment and allowance of fees and expenses in connection with this Engagement shall be decided by the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Mr. Despins, in his personal capacity, nor Paul Hasting LLP shall be liable for compensation for services rendered or reimbursement of expenses.\n\nPage 4 Luc Despins 13 November 2024\n\n### 3. Disbursements\n\n### (a) Ordinary Disbursements\n\nEach invoice will include an itemized schedule of routine disbursements (such as fees for legal research services, telecommunications, non-bulk photocopying, and out-of-hours work expenses). Please note that all extraordinary disbursements (such as outside counsel's fees, expert witness fees, court filing fees, large printing or photocopying jobs, court reporter fees, special database usage, and travel expenses) will be invoiced separately.\n\n### (b) Extraordinary Disbursements\n\nIf the need for trial arises then the cost of trial logistics coordination services, including any provided by Kobre & Kim personnel, will be added to our invoices. For the avoidance of doubt, the fees of any outside experts are separate and apart from the fee arrangements contained herein. In addition, Client is responsible for costs associated with foreign exchange, as well as fees incurred in connection with arbitrations.\n\n### Litigation - Recovery of Costs\n\nCertain Courts (such as the DIFC or ADGM Courts) may make orders regarding the payment of the legal fees and expenses in connection with litigation. Usually, the losing party will be required to pay a proportion of the successful party's legal fees, in addition to its own costs, Costs orders do not usually allow a party to recover all its costs but as a matter of prudence, you may wish to make a reserve to provide for a potential scenario in which the court rules against you and you must pay the other side's legal costs. In any event, Client shall be personally responsible for payment of our legal fees and expenses in full regardless of any order for costs made against the opponent. Further, the Dubai Court does not ordinarily permit the recovery of legal fees other than a very limited amount.\n\n### 4. Tax\n\nAll amounts in this Agreement are stated to be exclusive of VAT. sales and use tax, gross receipts tax, withholding tax, and any similar tax, imposed on or in connection with the services provided and the payor is responsible for the payment of such taxes.\n\n### 5. Standard Terms and Conditions\n\nThe Standard Terms of Engagement set forth in the attached Appendix are incorporated herein and form an integral part of this Agreement. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between the terms of this letter and the Standard Terms, this letter shall prevail. In addition, this Agreement, including the Standard Terms, will prevail over any Client outside counsel or billing guidelines unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Kobre & Kim.\n\nPage 5 Luc Despins 13 November 2024\n\n### 6. Governing Law\n\nThis Agreement and all matters arising out of or in connection with it are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Dubai International Financial Centre.\n\nPlease sign below to acknowledge your acceptance of this letter and return the same to us.

I am lawyer and have been practicing law in the United Arab Emirate (the \"UAE\") for over twelve years. I am a partner at Kobre & Kim (GCC) LLP (\"Kobre & Kim\"), which focuses on financial investigations and international disputes, and maintains an office at at Office 27-01, Level 27, ICD Brookfield DIFC, Dubai, UAE, Kobre & Kim's majority owner is global law firm, Kobre & Kim LLP (registered in New York, U.S.A)., I make this declaration (the \"Declaration\") in support of the *Application of Chapter 11 Trustee for Entry of Order, Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 327(e) and 330, Bankruptcy Rules 2014 and 2016, and Local Bankruptcy Rules 2014-1 and 2016-1, Authorizing and Approving Retention and Employment of*\n\n<span id=\"page-27-0\"></span><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 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*Kobre & Kim (GCC) LLP as Special Counsel in United Arab Emirates* (the \"Application\")[2](#page-28-0) in connection with Kobre & Kim's retention as special counsel in the UAE , to assist the Trustee in his efforts to recover assets of Ho Wan Kwok's (the \"Debtor\") estate potentially located in the UAE (the \"Engagement\").\n\n2. In relation to the Engagement, Kobre & Kim's professional client is the estate (the \"Estate\") of the Debtor in his above-captioned chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\"). In relation to the Engagement, Kobre & Kim will seek to recover its fees from the Estate, and I will file fee applications in the Chapter 11 Case on Kobre & Kim's behalf.\n\n3. I studied at the University of Leeds where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2001 , and I studied law at the College of Law (Chester), where I received a Graduate Diploma in Law in 2002. I qualified as a Solicitor in England & Wales in 2009. I am a leading practitioner in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and English Courts, and have further extensive experience in fraud investigations, contentious shareholder disputes, and banking litigation. I also regularly engage in private client disputes for UHNWIs and has served as litigation counsel in high-value multi-jurisdictional bankruptcy matters.\n\n4. Kobre & Kim will file applications for compensation of professional services rendered and for reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with the Engagement pursuant to sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 2016, Local Bankruptcy Rule 2016-1, and any other applicable rules and orders with respect to this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n<span id=\"page-28-0\"></span><sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Application.\n\n5.

Kobre & Kim may also bill the Estate for any out-ofpocket expenses made on behalf of the Chapter 11 Trustee, including photocopying, postage and package deliveries, court fees, transcripts, witness fees, service fees, travel expenses, and computer-aided research.\n\n6. To the best of my knowledge and belief after due inquiry, Kobre & Kim is a \"disinterested person\" within the meaning of section 101(14) of title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\") in that Kobre & Kim and its employees:\n\n- a. are not creditors, equity security holders, or insiders of the Debtor;\n- b. are not, and were not within two years before the date of filing of the Debtor's petition, directors, officers, or employees of the Debtor; and\n- c. do not have an interest materially adverse to the interest of the Debtor's estate or of any class of creditors or equity security holders, by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in, the Debtor, or for any other reason.\n\n7. I attach to this Declaration, as Schedule 1, a consolidated list of parties in interest in connection with the Chapter 11 Case (the \"Interested Parties\") that has been produced by Paul Hastings and provided to Kobre & Kim before my signing this Declaration that I am informed includes:\n\n<span id=\"page-29-0\"></span><sup>3</sup> Certain of Kobre & Kim's lawyers charge up to \\$2,750 per hour for highly specialized work. However, based on the scope of services currently envisaged, the Trustee does not presently expect such specialized work to be necessary. The Trustee reserves the right to engage Kobre & Kim lawyers with hourly rates of up to \\$2,750 as may be necessary in connection with specialized legal or investigatory work in the UAE, but will seek separate court approval if that may become necessary.\n\n- a. parties listed as creditors, executory contract counterparties, and co-debtors on the Debtor's Schedules D, F, G, and H [Docket No. 78];\n- b. parties listed on the Debtor's Statement of Financial Affairs (\"SOFA\") [Docket No. 77], including (i) as recipients of payments within 90 days prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Case (SOFA Part 3, Question 6); (ii) parties involved in litigation in which the Debtor is a party (SOFA Part 4, Question 9); and businesses owned by the Debtor (SOFA Part 11, Question 27).\n- c. parties and counsel filing notice of appearances in the Chapter 11 Case;\n- d. the Court and personnel of the office of the United States Trustee; and\n- e. other parties in interest that I have become aware of as a result of the Chapter 11 Trustee's ongoing investigation of the Debtor's assets.\n\nKobre & Kim has conducted reasonable checks of the Interested Parties against our records and data, and has determined that to the best of our knowledge and belief, Kobre & Kim does not have any relationship or connection with the Interested Parties, subject to the following exceptions described in Schedule 2 attached hereto (the \"Disclosure Schedule\").\n\n8. The Disclosure Schedule has been compiled with the assistance of attorneys and legal professionals at Kobre & Kim who have reviewed conflict records and/or provided additional information regarding relevant matters. The Disclosure Schedule identifies certain Interested Parties (or affiliates thereof) for which Kobre & Kim currently acts as counsel or has acted as counsel during the last three (3) years. It reflects that, to the extent Kobre & Kim currently represents or has previously represented any Interested parties or affiliate thereof, such matters are not related to these Chapter 11 Cases. Further, Kobre & Kim will not represent any Interested Parties in any matter relating to the Chapter 11 Cases or in connection with the Debtors.\n\n9. Pursuant to section 327(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, Kobre & Kim is not disqualified from acting as special counsel merely because it has represented, represents, or may in the future represent certain Interested Parties in matters that are unrelated to the Debtors or these Chapter 11 Cases. As such, I do not believe that Kobre & Kim's representations disclosed on Schedule 2 preclude Kobre & Kim from being a disinterested party under the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n10. While Kobre & Kim have made a diligent effort to ascertain the identity of any connections or potential conflicts with the Interested Parties, Kobre & Kim will undertake to use reasonable efforts to identify such further developments, and if any new relevant facts or relationships are discovered or arise with respect to parties related to this Engagement for which Kobre & Kim has been retained or the Debtors or the Estate, to the extent that any additional information comes to light, Kobre & Kim will review, disclose pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2014(a), and resolve any conflict or adverse interests that may appear.\n\n11. Based on the foregoing, insofar as I have been able to ascertain based on the information currently available to me: (a) Kobre & Kim has no connection with the Debtor, his creditors, the U.S. Trustee, any person employed in the office of the U.S. Trustee, or any other party with an actual or potential interest in the Debtor or his respective attorneys or accountants; and (b) (i) neither Kobre & Kim nor its employees are creditors, equity security holders, or insiders of the Debtor or his affiliates, (ii) neither Kobre & Kim nor its employees have been, within two years before the Petition Date, a director, officer, or employee of the Debtor or his affiliates, and (iii) neither Kobre & Kim nor its employees have any interest materially adverse to the interests of the Debtor's estate or any class of creditors or equity security holders by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in the Debtor, or for any other reason. Therefore, I understand from my discussions with Paul Hastings that this means Kobre & Kim is\n\na \"disinterested person\" within the meaning of section 101(14) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified by section 1107(b).\n\n12. I further understand from such discussions that Appendix B of the U.S. Trustee Guidelines (the \"Larger Case Guidelines\") does not apply in this Chapter 11 Case, because the Debtor's petition does not list \\$50 million or more in assets and \\$50 million or more in liabilities. In particular, I am informed that the Debtor estimated the value of his assets between \\$50,001 and \\$100,000.\n\n13. In the interest of providing maximum disclosure, and notwithstanding my position concerning the inapplicability of the Larger Case Guidelines, I provide the following response on behalf of Kobre & Kim to the request for information set forth in Paragraph D.1. of the Larger Case Guidelines:\n\n- Question: Did you agree to any variations from, or alternatives to, your standard or customary billing arrangements for this engagement?\n- Answer: No.\n- Question: Do any of the professionals included in this engagement vary their rate based on the geographic location of the bankruptcy case?\n- Answer: No.\n- Question: If you represented the client in the 12 months prepetition, disclose your billing rates and material financial terms for the prepetition engagement, including any adjustments during the 12 months prepetition. If your billing rates and material financial terms have changed postpetition, explain the difference and the reasons for the difference.\n- Answer: Not applicable. Kobre & Kim has not previously represented the Chapter 11 Trustee.\n- Question: Has your client approved your prospective budget and staffing plan, and, if so, for what budget period?\n\nAnswer: Not applicable.\n\n14. Kobre & Kim has neither shared nor agreed to share with any other person compensation received in connection with the Engagement, except as is permitted by §504(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n15. I consent that the following language may be included in any order by the Court approving the Chapter 11 Trustee's application in connection with my instruction in connection with the Engagement.\n\n> Allowance of any compensation for Kobre & Kim shall be limited to the extent of services actually performed, and expenses actually incurred, as special counsel instructed to act on behalf of the Chapter 11 Trustee Luc A. Despins, and shall not include compensation for the performance of any of the trustee duties that are generally performed by a Chapter 11 trustee without the assistance of an attorney.\n\nPursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the\n\nUnited States that the above statements are true and correct.\n\nDated: November 13, 2024, at Dubai, United Arab Emirates\n\nPaul Hughes Partner Kobre & Kim (GCC) LLP\n\nThe following schedules contain the names of individuals and entities reviewed for conflicts purposes.

Despins（吕克·A·德斯平）先生，以其作为在上述标题第11章案件（以下简称“第11章案件”）中获任命的第11章受托人（以下简称“第11章受托人”）的身份，就 Ho Wan Kwok（以下简称“债务人”）一案，根据《美国法典》第11编（以下简称“《破产法典》”）第327(e)条和第330条、《联邦破产程序规则》（以下简称“《破产规则》”）第2014条和第2016条，以及美国康涅狄格联邦破产法院（以下简称“法院”）《地方法院破产程序规则》（以下简称“《地方破产规则》”）第2014-1条和第2016-1条，提交本申请（以下简称“本申请”），请求作出一项命令，其格式实质上如随附附件A所示（以下简称“拟议命令”），授权其按照随附附件B的聘用函（以下简称“聘用函”）所载条款，聘用 Kobre & Kim 作为其在阿拉伯联合酋长国（以下简称“阿联酋”）的特别法律顾问。为支持本申请，第11章受托人提交随附附件C的《Paul Hughes（保罗·休斯）关于支持第11章受托人根据〈破产法典〉第327(e)条和第330条、〈破产规则〉第2014条和第2016条以及〈地方破产规则〉第2014-1条和第2016-1条申请作出命令，授权并批准聘用 Kobre & Kim (GCC) LLP 作为阿拉伯联合酋长国特别法律顾问的声明》（以下简称“Hughes 声明”），该声明通过引用并入本申请。为进一步支持本申请，第11章受托人陈述如下：\n\n1 本第11章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（亦称 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（Genever Holdings有限责任公司）（税务识别号码后四位：8202）以及 Genever Holdings Corporation（Genever Holdings公司）。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 和 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为：Paul Hastings LLP（Paul Hastings律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，c/o Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 财产的受托人（仅为通知和通信之目的）。\n\n所请求的救济\n\n1. 通过本申请，第11章受托人请求作出一项命令，其格式实质上如随同提交的拟议命令（以下简称“拟议命令”）所示，授权并批准自 November 13, 2024 起聘用 Kobre & Kim 作为第11章受托人在阿联酋的特别法律顾问，以协助受托人努力追回可能位于阿联酋的债务人财产资产。\n\n2. 第11章受托人基于 Kobre & Kim 熟悉阿联酋法律下的金融调查、破产法、商事诉讼和金融争议，选择 Kobre & Kim 作为其特别法律顾问。\n\n管辖权、审判地和法定依据\n\n3. 法院根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 以及美国康涅狄格联邦地区法院的移送常设命令，对本事项具有管辖权。本案属于 28 U.S.C. § 157(b) 所称的核心程序。\n\n4. 根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409，本地区的审判地适格。\n\n5. 本文所请求救济的法定依据为《破产法典》第327(e)条和第330条，以及在适用范围内的《破产规则》第2014条和第2016条，以及《地方破产规则》第2014-1条和第2016-1条。\n\n背景\n\n6. 于 February 15, 2022（以下简称“申请日”），债务人向法院提交了根据《破产法典》第11章寻求救济的自愿申请书。\n\n7. 于 March 21, 2022，美国受托人于债务人的第11章案件中任命了一个无担保债权人正式委员会（以下简称“委员会”）。\n\n8. 于 June 15, 2022，法院作出了一份裁决备忘录和命令 [Docket No. 465]（以下简称“受托人命令”），指示美国受托人在第11章案件中任命一名第11章受托人。根据受托人命令，美国受托人选定 Luc A. Despins 担任第11章受托人 [Docket No. 514]。\n\n9. 于 July 8, 2022，法院作出命令，批准任命 Luc A. Despins 为第11章案件的第11章受托人 [Docket No. 523]。\n\nKOBRE & KIM 的资格\n\n10. Kobre & Kim 是一家专注于金融调查和国际争议的律师事务所。其在全球各地设有办事处，包括位于阿联酋迪拜 Office 27-01, Level 27, ICD Brookfield DIFC, Dubai, UAE 的办事处。Kobre & Kim 的专业领域包括私人调查和旨在打击欺诈的诉讼，以及追回损失收入和隐匿资产，并包括为受托人、债权人、债务人、清算人及其他投资者开展的复杂重组和破产诉讼及调查。\n\n预期服务\n\n11. 第11章受托人预计 Kobre & Kim 将协助其调查可能位于阿联酋、与债务人有关的资产和转移。2 鉴于 Kobre & Kim 作为阿联酋特别法律顾问的角色具有专业性质，聘用 Kobre & Kim 不会造成服务重复。\n\nKOBRE & KIM 的报酬\n\n12. Kobre & Kim 拟根据《破产法典》第330条和第331条、《破产规则》第2016条、《地方破产规则》第2016-1条，以及与本第11章案件有关的任何其他适用规则和命令，就其为本第11章案件提供的专业服务向法院申请报酬，并申请偿还所发生的费用。Kobre & Kim 将就阿联酋所需服务，按其通常适用的小时费率向债务人收取法律服务费用。\n\n13. 目前，Kobre & Kim 2024年的小时费率为：律师 \\$950 至 \\$1,875，3 辅助专业人员 \\$450 至 \\$875。Kobre & Kim 还将就其代表债务人垫付的实际支出开具账单，包括影印、邮资和包裹递送、法院费用、笔录、证人费用、送达费用、差旅费用和计算机辅助检索。\n\n14. 债务人主张，Kobre & Kim 的小时费率合理，与 Kobre & Kim 其他聘用项目的小时费率相当，且处于提供相同服务、具备可比技能的专业人士所收取费率的范围内。\n\n2 为对正在进行的调查保持保密，受托人不会披露据信位于阿联酋的确切资金和资产。\n\n3 Kobre & Kim 的某些律师就高度专业化工作收取最高每小时 \\$2,750 的费用。然而，根据目前设想的服务范围，受托人目前预计无需此类专业化工作。受托人保留在阿联酋专业法律或调查工作所必要的情况下聘用小时费率最高为 \\$2,750 的 Kobre & Kim 律师的权利，但如有必要，将另行寻求法院批准。\n\nKOBRE & KIM 不具有利害关系\n\n15. 据第11章受托人根据 Hughes 声明所知，并除其中披露者外，Kobre & Kim 与债务人、其债权人或任何其他利害关系方、其各自的律师和会计师、美国受托人或受雇于美国受托人办公室的任何人员，不存在任何关系。\n\n16. 更具体而言，根据 Hughes 声明，并除其中披露者外，第11章受托人相信：(a) Kobre & Kim 与债务人、其债权人、美国受托人、受雇于美国受托人办公室的任何人员，或对债务人或其各自律师或会计师具有实际或潜在利益的任何其他方，均无任何关联；以及 (b) Kobre & Kim 及其雇员 (i) 不是债务人或其关联方的债权人、股权证券持有人或内部人，(ii) 在申请日前两年内未曾担任债务人或其关联方的董事、高级管理人员或雇员，且 (iii) 未因与债务人的任何直接或间接关系、联系或利益，或因任何其他原因，而对债务人财产或任何类别债权人或股权证券持有人的利益具有任何重大不利利益。因此，第11章受托人相信，经第1107(b)条修改后，Kobre & Kim 属于《破产法典》第101(14)条所称的“无利害关系人士”。\n\n17. 根据 Hughes 声明，第11章受托人相信，Kobre & Kim 就第11章案件不代表任何与无担保债权人利益相冲突的利益。\n\n所请求救济的依据\n\n18. 第11章受托人请求根据《破产法典》第327(e)条聘用 Kobre & Kim 作为其在阿联酋的特别法律顾问，该条规定，持有财产的债务人“如符合财产的最佳利益，且该律师就其受聘处理的事项不代表或持有任何与债务人或财产相冲突的利益，则可为特定特别目的，而非为在案件进行中代表该[债务人]，聘用曾代表该债务人的律师。”11 U.S.C.\n\n§ 327(e)\n\n19. 《破产规则》第2014(a)条规定，聘用申请应包括：\n\n表明聘用必要性的具体事实、拟聘用的[律师事务所]名称、选择理由、拟提供的专业服务、任何拟议的报酬安排，以及据申请人所知，该[律师事务所]与债务人、债权人、任何其他利害关系方、其各自律师和会计师、美国受托人之间的所有关联。\n\n20. 第11章受托人需要阿联酋特别法律顾问的服务以履行其职责。Kobre & Kim 将努力避免重复工作，并尽可能高效地提供服务。\n\n21. 因此，按照本文和拟议命令所载条款聘用 Kobre & Kim 作为第11章受托人的特别法律顾问，属合理且符合债务人财产的最佳利益。\n\n22. 第11章受托人主张，Kobre & Kim 的费率合理，与其他聘用项目的费率相当，且处于提供相同服务、具备可比技能的专业人士所收取费率的范围内。\n\n23. 《地方破产规则》第2014-1条规定，如“聘用专业人士的申请在该专业人士开始提供服务后 thirty (30) 天内提交，除非法院另有命令，该申请应被视为同时提交。”如前所述，第11章受托人请求授权自 November 13, 2024 起聘用 Kobre & Kim，该日为 Kobre & Kim 开始向第11章受托人提供服务之日。尽管该日距提交本申请之日为34天，第11章受托人仍请求该聘用自 November 13, 2024 起生效。\n\n通知\n\n24. 本申请的通知已送达美国受托人、债务人和委员会，并已通过使用法院电子提交（“CM/ECF”）系统进行电子提交，送达所有使用 CM/ECF 系统的已出庭当事人。\n\n此前未提出请求\n\n25. 此前未向本院或任何其他法院提出过本申请所请求救济的申请。\n\n[本页其余部分特意留白。]\n结论\n\n因此，基于前述理由，第11章受托人 Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）请求本院作出裁定，其形式应基本与随附提交的拟议裁定一致，准许该申请，并授权第11章受托人聘请 Kobre & Kim（科布雷与金律师事务所）担任其在阿拉伯联合酋长国的特别法律顾问，并作出本院认为公正和适当的其他及进一步救济。\n\n日期：December 17, 2024　Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）第11章案件的第11章受托人\n\n> /s/ Luc A.

Kobre & Kim 有权在委托函条款要求的范围内获得赔偿，并依本裁定予以修改；但 Kobre & Kim 提出的任何赔偿请求均应按照本裁定所述接受本院审查，以确保该等赔偿金的支付符合经本裁定修改后的委托函条款，并且在寻求赔偿所涉诉讼或和解的情形下属合理；但进一步规定，在任何情况下，Kobre & Kim 均不得就其自身的恶意、自我交易、违反受托义务（如有）、重大过失、故意不当行为或违反保密协议而获得赔偿。\n\n9. 如在以下较早发生者之前：(i) 在本第11章案件中作出确认第11章计划的裁定（该裁定已成为不再可上诉的终局裁定），或\n\n(ii) 作出结案本第11章案件的裁定，Kobre & Kim 认为其有权要求受托人根据经本裁定修改后的委托函项下其赔偿义务支付任何款项，则 Kobre & Kim 必须向本院提交相关申请，且在本院作出批准付款的裁定之前，受托人不得向 Kobre & Kim 支付任何该等款项。对于 Kobre & Kim 根据经本裁定修改的委托函，就支付赔偿请求所产生的律师费及费用而请求偿还的任何款项，律师费及费用的发票和支持性工时记录应包含在 Kobre & Kim 向本院提交的申请中，且该等发票和工时记录应受修订指南约束，并应根据《破产法典》第330条和第331条获得破产法院批准，而不论该等律师是否根据《破产法典》第327条获聘，亦不论该等律师的服务是否符合《破产法典》第330(a)(3)(C)条。本段仅旨在明确本院对 Kobre & Kim 就赔偿、分担或偿还提出的任何费用及支出请求具有管辖权的期间，并非限制向 Kobre & Kim 提供赔偿义务期限的规定。所有利害关系方均保留对 Kobre & Kim 提出的任何赔偿、分担或偿还要求提出异议的权利。\n\n10. 除与 Kobre & Kim 提出的经本院批准支付赔偿请求有关而发生的费用外，Kobre & Kim 无权要求受托人偿还其律师的任何费用、支出及其他收费。\n\n11.

Kim并非为任何其他目的而受聘。\n\nPaul Hughes将作为主要负责代理客户的合伙人，并将视具体情况所需或适宜，由迪拜国际金融中心或Kobre & Kim关联机构其他办事处的其他律师、分析师和/或诉讼助理协助。\n\n客户同意，我们可如同该等指示由客户作出一般，代表以下任何人士和/或实体行事并依赖其指示：Nicholas Bassett。\n\n本所受聘将自我们收到您在本函上的副署之日起开始；但本所受聘须经United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格州联邦破产法院，以下简称“破产法院”）批准。\n\n如连续六个月未开具任何发票，本所受聘将自动终止并结案，终止日期为载有已开具付款发票之工时记录所在月份的最后一日。不会开具最终发票，因为您收到的最后一张发票将作为最终发票。\n\n尽管本函或标准条款与条件（包括其第4条）有任何相反规定，我们同意不接受任何会导致Kobre & Kim根据United States Code（《美国法典》，以下简称“破产法”）第327(e)条不再具有无利害关系人资格的委聘。\n2. 费用\n\n我们致力于使计费透明，并通常会争取就我们的工作商定预算。在受聘期间，该等预算可能会为反映范围及假设的变化而作出修订；我们亦可能供您考虑提出固定费用或替代费用方案，作为按小时计费的替代方案。\n\n您同意，在预算金额范围内收取的费用视为合理并已获批准。\n\n本次受聘的费用将以提供服务的人员适用的按小时计费费率为基础。我们的律师目前每小时收费US $950至US $1,8752。我们的非律师专业人员（例如分析师和诉讼助理）每小时收费US $450至US $875。每名计时人员每天最多可计收八小时的差旅时间。\n\n2 我们的部分律师就高度专业化工作每小时收费最高可达US $2,750。然而，根据目前设想的服务范围，我们目前预计无须进行该等工作。我们注意到，客户日后要求的服务可能需要该等工作，并将努力在受聘期间就预算和费率进行沟通。\n\n第3页　Luc Despins　13 November 2024\n\n为进一步明确起见，我们的小时费率如下：\n\n以美元计的小时费率　Kobre & Kim 2024\n标准小时\n费率\n\n创始合伙人　2,750\n合伙人　1 875\n特别顾问　1.450\n首席律师/法律顾问　1.300\n律师助理　1.050\n律师　9511\n专员　875\n分析师　285\n诉讼助理　450\n\n我们律师的计费费率会定期调整，我们将在定期发票中告知您任何变更。\n\n您同意，所有在预先提交的预算范围内开具的费用和支出均属合理。所有法律费用在工作开展时即已赚取并到期应付，支出应在我们发生时予以偿还。\n\n尽管本函或标准条款与条件（包括其第7条和第12条）有任何相反规定，(a) 与本次受聘有关的任何费用和支出，应按照破产法第330条和第331条规定的程序以及破产法院制定并要求的程序，经破产法院依适当申请批准的金额支付；以及(b) 与本次受聘有关的费用和支出的支付及批准相关的一切事项，应由破产法院裁定。为免生疑，Despins先生以其个人身份及Paul Hasting LLP均不对已提供服务的报酬或支出的偿还承担责任。\n\n第4页　Luc Despins　13 November 2024\n3. 垫付费用\n(a) 普通垫付费用\n\n每张发票将包括例行垫付费用的逐项明细表（例如法律研究服务费、电信费、非批量复印费及非工作时间工作费用）。请注意，所有特别垫付费用（例如外部律师费用、专家证人费用、法院立案费、大型打印或复印项目费用、法庭记录员费用、特殊数据库使用费及差旅费用）将另行开具发票。\n(b) 特别垫付费用\n\n如有进行审判的必要，审判后勤协调服务的费用，包括由Kobre & Kim人员提供的任何该等服务费用，将计入我们的发票。为免生疑，任何外部专家的费用独立于且有别于本函所载的收费安排。此外，客户负责与外汇有关的费用，以及与仲裁有关而产生的费用。\n诉讼——费用追偿\n\n某些法院（例如迪拜国际金融中心法院或阿布扎比全球市场法院）可能会就与诉讼有关的法律费用及支出的支付作出命令。通常，败诉方将被要求在承担其自身费用之外，支付胜诉方部分法律费用。费用命令通常不允许一方追偿其全部费用；但出于审慎考虑，您可能希望预留资金，以应对法院作出对您不利裁决且您必须支付对方法律费用的可能情形。无论如何，不论是否对对方作出任何费用命令，客户均应个人负责全额支付我们的法律费用和支出。此外，Dubai Court（迪拜法院）通常不允许追偿法律费用，除极为有限的金额外。\n4. 税费\n\n本协议中的所有金额均不含增值税、销售和使用税、总收入税、预提税及就所提供服务征收或与之有关的任何类似税项，付款方负责支付该等税项。\n5. 标准条款与条件\n\n随附附录所载的标准受聘条款纳入本函，并构成本协议不可分割的组成部分。如本函条款与标准条款之间存在任何不一致，应以本函为准。此外，除非Kobre & Kim另行书面同意，本协议（包括标准条款）将优先于客户的任何外部律师准则或计费准则。\n\n第5页　Luc Despins　13 November 2024\n6. 准据法\n\n本协议及因本协议产生或与本协议有关的一切事项，均受Dubai International Financial Centre（迪拜国际金融中心）法律管辖，并应依其解释。\n\n请在下方签署以确认您接受本函，并将其交还给我们。我们期待与您合作。\n\n谨致，\n\nKOBRE & KIM（GCC）LLP\n\n我们特此同意并接受本函及随附标准业务条款所载的条款与条件。\n\n签名：\n\nામ\n\n姓名：Luc Despins，作为Chapter 11 Trustee（第11章受托人）\n\nત્ત્વ\n\n职务：Ho Wan Kwok破产财产的第11章受托人\n\n日期：November 13, 2024\n\n第6页　Luc Despins　13 November 2024\nKOBRE & KIM（GCC）LLP\n附录——标准受聘条款\n\n下列条款适用于本次受聘。如本协议项下的受聘涉及多个“客户”，则下文中所有对“客户”的提述均应替换为“客户方”。\n1. 客户及受聘范围\n\n客户与Kobre & Kim（GCC）LLP（以下简称“Kobre & Kim”）订立合同；Kobre & Kim是一家获准在Dubai International Financial Centre（迪拜国际金融中心）（商业许可证编号5106）执业并在Dubai Financial Services Authority（迪拜金融服务管理局）（参考编号F006880）登记的有限责任合伙企业。\n\n本事项中我们的客户仅为本协议第一段确定的客户。仅因我们在本次受聘中代理客户，我们并不代理客户现有或未来的任何母公司、子公司、股东、成员、合伙人、雇员、董事、合资方或其他关联方或组成方，且与其不存在律师—客户关系。\n\n受聘范围仅限于本协议第1(a)节所述的职责，Kobre & Kim不以任何其他身份或职责为客户或任何其他方行事。此外，Kobre & Kim被列为某一特定法院案件的登记代理律师，并不意味着我们通常代理客户处理与该案件标的有关的事项。\n\n除非特别要求，Kobre & Kim不就时效期间的计算提供意见。\n\n客户确认，除非我们受聘准备及提交该等申请，否则在我们取得代理客户所需的一切相关法律许可（如有）之前，本次受聘不会开始。\n2. 我们意见的性质\n\n在本次受聘期间，我们可能会就各种行动方案的有效性或可能预期的结果向您表达意见或信念。该等陈述仅为意见表达，不应视为承诺或保证。此外，Kobre & Kim仅会根据所呈现的事实处理具体法律问题，这不应被理解为建议某项行为应当或不应当实施。Kobre & Kim就本次受聘期间可能出现的范围外事项所表达的任何意见，并不构成针对该等范围外事项的独立法律意见。您不应依赖我们的意见，并应就该等事项咨询其他律师。签署本协议即表示您确认，您已有机会咨询其他律师。\n3. 了解您的客户尽职调查\n\nKobre & Kim（凯博凯姆律师事务所）可根据我们的法律义务和内部政策，要求提供证据的身份或受益所有权。此外，我们可能要求提供文件，以便我们确定将汇给我们的资金来源。这对于我们确定资金不受任何债权人与债务人争议或资产扣押/没收类程序中的扣押/没收尤为重要。\n\n客户同意善意地回应此类要求，并及时提供所有被要求的文件。如有必要，客户还将提供我们可能要求的信息，以协助我们申请特别许可或向有关监管机构提交报告。\n\n客户确认，在某些情况下，我们可能依法必须向有关当局披露任何涉嫌洗钱或恐怖主义融资的情况。\n\n4. 利益冲突\n\n为使我们能够进行利益冲突审查，您向我们声明，您已向我们确认所有已经或可能参与该事项的个人和实体，包括所有与您有关联的该等个人或实体。\n\n第7页 Luc Despins（吕克·德斯潘） 13 November 2024\n\n您将及时通知我们共同代理客户之间的任何利益冲突或潜在利益冲突，或影响该等利益冲突的情况变化。\n\n未经您的同意，我们不会以根据适用职业规则将产生职业道德利益冲突的方式代理任何其他当事人。就本次委托而言，您将获得我们对您的忠诚。\n\nKobre & Kim代理许多其他客户，其中一些其他客户可能是您的直接竞争对手，或可能以其他方式拥有与您的商业利益相冲突的利益。签署本协议即表示您同意我们可为该等其他客户行事，且我们可就您可能拥有商业利益的事项行事。当然，这并不使我们能够在根据适用职业规则存在实际职业道德利益冲突的情形下行事。\n\n在我们代理您的期间，我们现有或未来的某些客户可能会要求我们在您作为另一方当事人参与的事项中代理他们。我们自身审慎的商业行为以及我们其他客户的利益，均要求我们设法保留为所有客户承接该等事项的能力。因此，签订本协议即表示您代表您自己及您的关联方，预先同意我们目前代理或接受未来针对客户或其任何关联方的不利事项（包括诉讼事项），并同意不主张利益冲突，或寻求阻止、质疑或以其他方式使Kobre & Kim丧失代理该等事项的资格，前提是该等事项与我们为您所做的工作并无实质关联。\n\n因此，例如，您同意，只要该不利事项与我们为您所做的工作并无实质关联，我们即可代表我们现有或未来客户之一承接针对客户的新诉讼或交易事项。该同意还包括在任何破产、监管、行政、立法或规则制定程序中与您的利益相对。\n\n此外，签订本协议即表示您同意，如我们在某一事项中代理您并与另一个人或实体相对，我们可以在与我们为您所做工作并无实质关联的事项中代理该其他个人或实体。\n\n您应完全自由地就这些事项咨询其他律师。签署本协议即表示您确认，您已有机会咨询其他律师。\n\n5. 小时费率\n\n本次委托的费用将以提供服务的人员所适用的按小时计费费率为基础。我们目前预计可能参与该事项的律师，收费为每小时US $ 950至US $1,875。我们的非律师专业人员收费为每小时US $450至US $875。每日最多可计收八小时的差旅时间。\n\n6. 支出及标的事项专家\n\n尽管我们有时可能协调从为客户持有的资金中向就本次委托提供服务的第三方付款，客户确认，是否作出该等付款由Kobre & Kim自行决定，并同意就作出的任何该等付款向我们偿还并使我们获得赔偿。除非另有书面约定，客户最终应负责向第三方支付任何及所有款项，包括供应商或法律服务提供者。\n\n除任何预先批准的计时人员外，客户同意Kobre & Kim可将工作分配给并向客户计费，例如电子证据开示专家、信息技术专家、行政助理、法律分析师、办公室经理、法院程序及提交文件助理；该等人员通常能够最具成本效益且最高效地就案件需要提供独特价值和专业知识。\n\n7. 付款条款\n\n即使我们同意通过第三方接受付款，客户仍有义务支付我们的费用及其他收费。\n\n第8页 Luc Despins（吕克·德斯潘） 13 November 2024\n\n我们的发票载明付款到期日。我们保留对逾期金额按每年最高10%的费率计收利息的权利，直至逾期金额付清为止。\n\n有关我们发票的所有问题应在收到时提出，此时我们最适宜澄清所做工作的性质。在其他所有方面，包括适用的付款条款，我们将继续视发票为未受影响。\n\n在任何我们必须积极追收超过约定付款期限的未付金额的情形下，客户同意就我们追收该等款项所产生的一切成本和费用向我们作出赔偿，包括外部律师的费用或成本，以及任何法院或仲裁员的费用或成本。\n\n本协议中的所有金额均不含增值税、销售及使用税、总收入税、预扣税以及对所提供服务征收或与之相关的任何类似税项，客户负责支付该等税项。\n\n付款必须通过电汇或电子资金转账支付至我们发票上列明的账户信息。除非我们另有指示，应付给我们的所有款项均应以美元或阿联酋迪拉姆（如本协议所示）支付。\n\n8. 终止及自动终止\n\n客户或Kobre & Kim可因任何理由通过书面通知终止本次委托，但我方须遵守适用的职业责任规则。\n\n签署本协议即表示客户同意，我们可自行决定退出在该事项中对客户的代理。退出代理的理由包括但不限于：任何应付预存款未按照本协议条款到位、客户违反其在本协议项下的任何义务，或客户未能配合我们努力维护客户利益。客户进一步同意，就退出代理所产生的所有费用和支出向Kobre & Kim作出赔偿，包括准备及出席任何在法院或其他裁判机构程序中申请退出担任客户登记在案律师的申请。\n\n除非此前已终止，本次委托将在我们向客户发送服务最终结单之日，或本协议项下约定服务完成之日（以较早者为准）终止。\n\n终止后，除非适用法律、规则或法院命令另有要求，Kobre & Kim无持续义务就本次委托或有关本次委托的未来事实或法律发展向客户提供建议。\n\n9. 存续\n\n在遵守本协议及本标准委托条款的限制和其他规定的前提下，或除非另有约定，本协议中有关费用、支出、准据法的条款，以及本标准委托条款中所载客户和Kobre & Kim的陈述与保证，在本协议终止或自动终止后仍然有效。\n\n10. 客户档案及记录保留政策\n\n在本次委托过程中，我们将保留一份客户档案，其中可能存放与该事项有关的材料。该档案中的物品可能属于您的财产，并且在本次委托完成后，您可取走该等物品。我们有权自行决定是否制作副本。本次委托结束后，我们将保存客户档案七年。如您未在该七年保存期间内取得客户档案中物品的占有，我们可处置该档案。包含我们的律师工作成果、内部通信、主观印象或笔记及文件草稿的文件，仍为我们的财产，不属于客户档案。此外，电子文件，如电子邮件及在我们的文字处理系统上编制的文件（不包括打印副本），以及数据库，仍为我们的财产，不属于客户档案。我们可\n\n第9页 Luc Despins（吕克·德斯潘） 13 November 2024\n\n对该等电子文件实施并执行合理的保留政策，并有权自行决定删除该等文件。\n\n11. 赔偿\n\n客户应就因本次委托引起或与本次委托有关的任何第三方索赔、损害、责任、损失或成本，对Kobre & Kim及其合伙人、关联方、负责人、律师及雇员（统称“受赔偿人”）作出赔偿并使其免受损害；并应就每名受赔偿人因调查、准备或抗辩因本次委托引起或与本次委托有关的任何诉讼、索赔、案件、调查或程序所产生的所有费用（包括律师费用及支出），在该等费用发生时预付并偿还，无论该等事项是尚未决还是受到威胁，亦无论任何受赔偿人是否为当事人。\n\n12. 仲裁\n\n因本协议引起或与本协议有关的任何争议，包括有关其存在、有效性或终止的任何问题，均应提交并最终依据LCIA Rules（伦敦国际仲裁院规则）通过仲裁解决，该规则被视为通过援引纳入本条款。仲裁员人数应为一名。仲裁地应为Dubai International Financial Centre（迪拜国际金融中心），仲裁地点应为Dubai International Financial Centre（迪拜国际金融中心）。仲裁所使用的语言应为英语。\n\n13. 索赔限制\n\n您同意，您就本次委托引起或与本次委托有关的任何及所有索赔，必须在本次委托终止之日起一年内提起。\n\nKobre & Kim不对后果性、特别、间接、附带、惩罚性或示范性损害、成本、费用或损失（包括利润损失或机会成本）承担责任。\n\n因我们的过失、违约、虚假陈述或其他原因所致的损失或损害，我们的责任（但不包括欺诈、欺诈性虚假陈述、死亡或人身伤害）就每一单一始因不得超过US$5,000,000。\n\n除非我们另有约定，本条款中的责任限制规定应适用于我们为客户进行的每一项后续交易或工作。如本协议致送多于一名客户，上述责任限额适用于所有该等客户的合计，而非分别适用于每一客户。\n\n14. 内部律师—客户保密特权\n\n请注意，Kobre & Kim设有内部法律顾问，其可就我们律师的道德、职业及法律义务向其提供建议。您确认，任何该等咨询均受我们自身律师—客户保密特权保护，且您放弃要求开示该等通信的任何权利。如因该等通信或就该等通信产生Kobre & Kim面临利益冲突的情况，您同意放弃该利益冲突。您还同意，该等通信为本所财产，不属于客户档案。\n\n15. 保密性\n\n我们不会向任何其他客户（未与您共同代理的客户）披露您的任何保密信息，即使该等信息可能对其利益有所影响。同样，即使任何与您共同代理的其他客户的保密信息可能对您的利益有所影响，我们也不会向您披露该等信息，且您同意我们没有义务这样做。\n\n本协议的条款属保密信息，除法律要求外，未经另一方同意，客户或我们均不得向任何第三方披露。如我们代理客户这一事实属于公开记录，双方同意允许客户或 Kobre & Kim（高博金律师事务所）向第三方告知该代理关系。\n\n第 10 页 Luc Despins（卢克·德斯潘） 13 November 2024\n\n我们保留向下列各方披露您文件的权利：(a) 为满足法律和监管合规要求而行使其职权的监管机构；(b) 我们的审计师；(c) 我们的专业责任保险人／承保人，以及就与保险人／承保人的该等沟通向我们的保险经纪人提供信息；(d)

Kim”）的合伙人，该所专注于金融调查和国际争议，并在阿联酋迪拜 ICD Brookfield DIFC 27 层 27-01 室设有办事处。Kobre & Kim 的多数所有人为全球性律师事务所 Kobre & Kim LLP（在美国纽约注册）。本人作出本声明（以下简称“本声明”），以支持《第 11 章受托人根据《破产法典》第 327(e) 条和第 330 条、《破产规则》第 2014 条和第 2016 条以及《地方破产规则》第 2014-1 条和第 2016-1 条提出的申请，请求作出命令，授权并批准聘任》\n\n1. 本第 11 章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（亦称 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及其他众多别名）（税务识别号码末四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税务识别号码末四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 和 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，转交 Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 遗产的受托人（仅为通知和通讯之目的）。\n\n聘任 Kobre & Kim (GCC) LLP 作为阿拉伯联合酋长国特别法律顾问》（以下简称“申请”）[2]，该申请涉及聘任 Kobre & Kim 作为 UAE 的特别法律顾问，以协助受托人努力追回可能位于 UAE 的 Ho Wan Kwok（以下简称“债务人”）遗产资产（以下简称“本委托”）。\n\n2. 就本委托而言，Kobre & Kim 的专业客户为债务人在上述第 11 章案件中的遗产（以下简称“遗产”）（以下简称“第 11 章案件”）。就本委托而言，Kobre & Kim 将向遗产请求支付其费用，本人将代表 Kobre & Kim 在第 11 章案件中提交费用申请。\n\n3. 本人就读于利兹大学，并于 2001 年获得文学学士学位；本人就读于法学院（切斯特），并于 2002 年获得法律研究生文凭。本人于 2009 年取得英格兰和威尔士事务律师资格。本人是迪拜国际金融中心（DIFC）、阿布扎比全球市场（ADGM）及英格兰法院的资深执业人士，并在欺诈调查、有争议的股东纠纷和银行诉讼方面拥有广泛的进一步经验。本人亦经常处理超高净值人士的私人客户争议，并曾在高价值、多司法管辖区破产事项中担任诉讼法律顾问。\n\n4. Kobre & Kim 将根据《破产法典》第 330 条和第 331 条、《破产规则》第 2016 条、《地方破产规则》第 2016-1 条以及适用于本第 11 章案件的任何其他规则和命令，就与本委托有关的已提供专业服务申请报酬，并申请偿还已发生的费用。\n\n2. 本申请中使用但未另行定义的首字母大写术语，具有本申请赋予的含义。\n\n5. Kobre & Kim 将就本委托按我们的小时计费费率收费。目前，Kobre & Kim 的 2024 年小时费率为：律师 \\$950 至 \\$1,875[3]，辅助专业人员 \\$450 至 \\$875。Kobre & Kim 亦可向遗产计收其代表第 11 章受托人支付的任何实付费用，包括影印费、邮资和包裹递送费、法院费用、庭审记录费、证人费、送达费、差旅费和计算机辅助研究费。\n\n6. 据本人在适当调查后所知和所信，Kobre & Kim 属于《美国法典》第 11 编第 101(14) 条所称的“无利害关系人士”（以下简称“破产法典”），因为 Kobre & Kim 及其雇员：\n\na. 不是债务人的债权人、股权证券持有人或内幕人士；\n\nb. 不是且在债务人提交申请之日前两年内并非债务人的董事、高级管理人员或雇员；以及\n\nc. 不因与债务人的任何直接或间接关系、联系或利害关系，或因任何其他原因，而对债务人遗产或任何类别债权人或股权证券持有人的利益具有实质性不利利益。\n\n7. 本人将作为附件 1 附于本声明的是由 Paul Hastings 制作并在本人签署本声明前提供给 Kobre & Kim 的、与第 11 章案件有关的利害关系人（以下简称“利害关系人”）综合名单；据本人获悉，该名单包括：\n\n3. Kobre & Kim 的某些律师就高度专业化工作每小时收费最高可达 \\$2,750。然而，基于目前预期的服务范围，受托人目前预计无需该等专业化工作。受托人保留在 UAE 就可能需要的专业化法律或调查工作聘任小时费率最高为 \\$2,750 的 Kobre & Kim 律师的权利，但如有此种必要，将另行寻求法院批准。\n\na. 债务人附表 D、F、G 和 H [Docket No. 78] 中列为债权人、未履行合同相对方及共同债务人的各方；\n\nb. 债务人《财务状况说明书》（以下简称“SOFA”）[Docket No. 77] 所列各方，包括：(i) 在第 11 章案件提交前 90 日内收到付款者（SOFA 第 3 部分，第 6 问）；(ii) 债务人作为当事人的诉讼所涉各方（SOFA 第 4 部分，第 9 问）；以及债务人拥有的企业（SOFA 第 11 部分，第 27 问）。\n\nc. 在第 11 章案件中提交出庭通知的各方及其法律顾问；\n\nd. 法院及美国受托人办公室人员；以及\n\ne. 因第 11 章受托人对债务人资产持续调查而为本人所知悉的其他利害关系人。\n\nKobre & Kim 已对照我们的记录和数据，对利害关系人进行了合理核查，并确定，据我们所知和所信，除本声明所附附件 2（以下简称“披露附表”）中所述的下列例外外，Kobre & Kim 与利害关系人不存在任何关系或联系。\n\n8. 披露附表是在 Kobre & Kim 的律师和法律专业人员协助下编制的，该等人员已审阅利益冲突记录和／或就相关事项提供补充信息。披露附表列明 Kobre & Kim 目前担任其法律顾问，或在过去三（3）年内曾担任其法律顾问的某些利害关系人（或其关联方）。该附表反映，在 Kobre & Kim 目前代表或曾代表任何利害关系人或其关联方的范围内，该等事项与本第 11 章案件无关。此外，Kobre & Kim 不会在与第 11 章案件有关的任何事项中，或就债务人相关事项，代表任何利害关系人。\n\n9. 根据《破产法典》第 327(c) 条，Kobre & Kim 不会仅因其曾经代表、目前代表或未来可能代表某些利害关系人处理与债务人或本第 11 章案件无关的事项，而丧失担任特别法律顾问的资格。因此，本人不认为附件 2 所披露的 Kobre & Kim 代理关系妨碍 Kobre & Kim 成为《破产法典》下的无利害关系方。\n\n10. 尽管 Kobre & Kim 已尽力查明与利害关系人存在的任何联系或潜在利益冲突的身份，Kobre & Kim 承诺将尽合理努力识别此等进一步发展情况；如就 Kobre & Kim 受聘处理的本委托相关方、债务人或遗产发现或出现任何新的相关事实或关系，在任何补充信息显现的范围内，Kobre & Kim 将予以审查，依照《破产规则》第 2014(a) 条进行披露，并解决可能出现的任何利益冲突或不利利益。\n\n11. 基于上述情况，就我根据目前可获得的信息所能查明的范围而言：(a) Kobre & Kim（高博金律师事务所）与债务人、其债权人、U.S. Trustee（美国受托人）、受雇于美国受托人办公室的任何人员，或对债务人或其各自律师或会计师具有实际或潜在利益的任何其他方均不存在任何关联；且 (b) (i) Kobre & Kim 及其雇员均非债务人或其关联方的债权人、股权证券持有人或内部人，(ii) Kobre & Kim 及其雇员在申请日之前两年内均未曾担任债务人或其关联方的董事、高级职员或雇员，且 (iii) Kobre & Kim 及其雇员均不因与债务人的任何直接或间接关系、联系或利益，或因任何其他原因，而对债务人财产、任何类别债权人或股权证券持有人的利益具有重大不利利益。因此，我从与 Paul Hastings（保罗·黑斯廷斯律师事务所）的讨论中了解到，这意味着 Kobre & Kim 属于经 section 1107(b) 修订的 Bankruptcy Code（《破产法》）section 101(14) 所称的“无利害关系人”。\n\n12. 我还从该等讨论中了解到，U.S. Trustee Guidelines（美国受托人指引）附录 B（“Larger Case Guidelines（大型案件指引）”）不适用于本 Chapter 11 Case（第11章案件），因为债务人的申请未列示 $50 million 或以上的资产及 $50 million 或以上的负债。具体而言，据告知，债务人估计其资产价值介于 $50,001 和 $100,000 之间。\n\n13. 为提供最大程度的披露，并且尽管我认为 Larger Case Guidelines 不适用，Kobre & Kim 就 Larger Case Guidelines Paragraph D.1. 所载的信息请求作出如下答复：\n\n问题：就本委任事项，您是否同意对您标准或惯常的计费安排作出任何变更，或采用任何替代安排？\n答复：否。\n\n问题：本委任事项所包括的任何专业人员是否根据破产案件的地理位置调整其费率？\n答复：否。\n\n问题：如您在申请前 12 个月内曾代理该客户，请披露申请前委任事项的计费费率和重大财务条款，包括申请前 12 个月内的任何调整。如您的计费费率和重大财务条款在申请后有所变更，请说明差异及其原因。\n答复：不适用。Kobre & Kim 此前未曾代理 Chapter 11 Trustee（第11章受托人）。\n\n问题：您的客户是否已批准您拟议的预算和人员配置计划；如已批准，适用何种预算期间？\n\n答复：不适用。\n\n14. 除 Bankruptcy Code §504(b)(1) 所允许的情形外，Kobre & Kim 未曾与任何其他人士分享，亦未同意分享因本委任事项而收取的报酬。\n\n15. 我同意，法院就第11章受托人与本委任事项有关的申请所作任何批准命令中，可载入以下措辞。\n\n对 Kobre & Kim 的任何报酬准许，应限于其作为受指示代表 Chapter 11 Trustee Luc A. Despins（吕克·A.·德斯潘）行事的特别法律顾问而实际提供的服务及实际发生的费用，且不得包括对通常由第11章受托人在无律师协助情况下履行的任何受托人职责所支付的报酬。\n\n根据 28 U.S.C. § 1746，我依据 United States（美国）法律，在伪证处罚的约束下声明，上述陈述真实且正确。\n\n日期：November 13, 2024，地点：Dubai, United Arab Emirates（阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拜）\n\nPaul Hughes（保罗·休斯） 合伙人 Kobre & Kim (GCC) LLP\n\n以下附表载有为利益冲突审查目的而审阅的个人及实体名称。对于所审阅实体名称不完整或含义不明确的情形，为匹配该不完整或含义不明确的名称，检索范围被有意设定为广泛且包容。\n\n附表 1\n\n潜在利害关系方名单\n\n附表目录\n\n附表类别\n\n1(a) 债务人、家庭成员及某些相关实体\n\n1(b) 破产法官及美国受托人人员\n\n1(c) 20 名最大无担保债权人\n\n1(d) 其他利害关系方\n\n附表 1(a)\n\n债务人、家庭成员及某些相关实体\n\nHo Wan Kwok（郭文贵，亦称 Miles Gwok、Miles Guo 及 Wengui Guo） Hing Ch Ngok（亦称 Yue Qingzhi） Qiang Guo（亦称 Mileson Guo） Mei Guo（亦称 Mei Gui） HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC Bravo Luck Limited Genever Holdings Corporation Genever Holdings LLC\n\n附表 1(b)\n\n破产法官及美国受托人人员\n\nHonorable Julie A.
