In support hereof, the Debtor and Committee state as follows:\n\n**WHEREAS**, the Debtor commenced this action by filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United State Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\"); and\n\n**WHEREAS**, the Office of the United States Trustee first set the meeting for the meeting of creditors under Bankruptcy Code section 341(a) for March 21, 2022 (the \"341 Meeting\"); and\n\n**WHEREAS**, on February 17, 2022, the Court provided notice [Docket No. 6] of a May 20, 2022, filing deadline to file a complaint (a \"Dischargeability Complaint\") to have a debt excepted from discharge pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 523(c), which applies to debts of the kind specified in Bankruptcy Code sections 523(a)(2), (a)(4), or (a)(6) (the \"Dischargeability Deadline\"); and\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtor is known by the following names: Guo Wengui; Miles Guo; Miles Kwok; and Ho Wan Kwok.\n\n**WHEREAS**, on April 6, 2022, Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P.'s (\"PAX\") filed a Motion to Dismiss Chapter 11 Case or, in the Alternative, Partial Joinder to United States Trustee's Motion for an Order Directing the Appointment of a Chapter 11 Trustee, filed on April 6, 2022 (the \"Dismissal Motion,\" ECF No. 183); and\n\n**WHEREAS**, the Court entered a scheduling order scheduling the evidentiary hearing on the Dismissal Motion for May 25, 2022 (the \"Evidentiary Hearing\"); and\n\n**WHEREAS**, pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 4007(c), the Court may extend the Dischargeability Deadline for good cause shown; and\n\n**WHEREAS**, the Debtor agrees that it would be unnecessary for Creditors to incur the expense of filing and prosecuting a Dischargeability Complaint if the Court dismissed the Debtor's Chapter 11 Case following the Evidentiary Hearing.\n\n**NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED AS FOLLOWS:**\n\n1. The Dischargeability Deadline for Creditors is extended by thirty days through and including June 20, 2022, without prejudice to the Committee or any Creditor to seek a further extension for cause shown.\n\n2. The entry of an order approving this Stipulation on the Court's docket will constitute notice of the extended Dischargeability Deadline.\n\n3. For the avoidance of doubt, the deadline to file a complaint objecting to discharge under Bankruptcy Code section 1141(d)(3)(C) shall remain the first date set for hearing on confirmation of any plan.\n\n4. Nothing herein shall be construed as precluding: (i) the Debtor from challenging the standing of the Committee to file or prosecute a Dischargeability Complaint or to file any\n\n2\n\nmotion seeking a further extension of the Dischargeability Deadline; or (ii) the Committee from asserting that it has such standing .\n\n5.
