26. NPM did not file a Monthly Fee Statement for the month of April 2024 and has included its itemized fees and expenses for April 2024 in this Application.

3 The objection period for this Monthly Fee Statement expired earlier today on June 25, 2024. FIFTH INTERIM FEE APPLICATION OF PAUL HASTINGS LLP AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

27. Paul Hastings LLP ("Paul Hastings") is lead counsel to the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) in these Chapter 11 Cases. As discussed herein, throughout the course of these Chapter 11 Cases, NPM has worked cooperatively with Paul Hastings as Connecticut counsel and conflicts counsel to the Trustee and as co-counsel with respect to Genever (BVI) and Genever (US) (collectively, the "Genever Debtors").

28. On June 24, 2024, Paul Hastings filed its *Fifth Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings LLP for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024* [ECF No. 3283] (the "PH Application"). The PH Application contains extensive discussion of the history of these Chapter 11 Cases and the nature of legal services performed for the Trustee and the Genever Debtors. To avoid repetition, NPM incorporates the PH Application herein by reference.

29. In the interest of efficiency and reducing administrative expense, throughout the Trustee's investigation and asset-recovery efforts, and the administration of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Trustee and Paul Hastings have requested and NPM has performed legal services with respect to substantive, administrative and procedural issues (e.g., preparing, reviewing and revising pleadings, presenting and arguing discovery motions, serving subpoenas and court orders, requesting adjournments and approving stipulations, preparing monthly operating reports, interacting with clerks' offices and chambers and coordinating logistics for hearings, and attending to other case administration functions as they arise). NPM's counsel has also advised with respect to this district's local rules and practices and has assisted the Trustee at court hearings throughout these Chapter 11 Cases. Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 11 of 316

30. This support has both ensured that the Trustee and the Genever Debtors understood and complied with local rules and practices—and has also resulted in substantial administrative cost savings in these Chapter 11 Cases.

31. The Applicant is applying for compensation pursuant to Sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code for legal services performed for the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) during the Application Period.

32. For the Application Period, the Applicant seeks allowance of fees in the amount of \$1,357,568.50 as compensation for services rendered in connection with such services, which amount reflects a \$15,000 voluntary reduction, which NPM has assessed as a courtesy to the Trustee, the Genever Debtors, and the bankruptcy estates.

33. The Applicant devoted 3,262.30 hours to this case during the Application Period, equating to an overall blended rate of \$420.74.

34. Throughout the Application Period, the Applicant maintained records to indicate the name of each attorney or paraprofessional working on this matter, the time spent on a particular issue, and the nature of the work performed. These records, which describe in detail the services rendered by the Applicant, were created at the approximate time the services were performed.

35. Annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit D is a detailed billing report, broken down by project category, upon which this application is based that contains each individual professional's time for the Debtors' bankruptcy proceedings, itemizing the dates upon which services were rendered, including a summary of the services on each of such dates by each person rendering the service, the time spent in rendering such service, and the dollar value of such services. A summary of the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 12 of 316

36. Annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit E is a detailed report of costs and expenses incurred by the Applicant during the Application Period. A summary of the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

37. During the Application Period, the following summarizes the services provided by the Applicant on behalf of the Trustee:

a. advising the Trustee as to his investigation into the property of the Individual Debtor's estate, including his pursuit of actions to collect and recover property for the benefit of the Individual Debtor's estate;

b. commencing, conducting, and/or continuing litigation necessary and appropriate to assert rights held by the Individual Debtor's estate, protect assets of the Individual Debtor's estate, or otherwise further the goal of completing the Chapter 11 Case;

c. preparing and reviewing, on behalf of the Trustee, necessary and appropriate applications, motions, proposed orders, other pleadings, notices, schedules, and other documents, and reviewing financial and other reports filed and to be filed in the Chapter 11 Case;

d. advising the Trustee concerning, and preparing responses to, applications, motions, other pleadings, notices, and other papers that may be filed by other parties in the Chapter 11 Case;

e. reviewing the nature and validity of any liens asserted against the property in these Chapter 11 Cases and advising the Trustee concerning the enforceability of any liens; Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 13 of 316

f. assisting the Trustee in the investigation, recovery, marketing, and disposition of estate assets; and

g. negotiating with parties-in-interest.

38. During the Application Period, the following summarizes the services performed by the Applicant as counsel to the Genever Debtors:

a. preparing, reviewing, and revising the monthly operating reports for the Genever Debtors; and

b. corresponding with the Genever (BVI) Director, the U.S. Trustee's office, the Trustee, and co-counsel regarding the monthly operating reports for the Genever Debtors. CATEGORIZATION OF SERVICES AND CATEGORY SUMMARIES

39. As is its practice as counsel to trustees or debtors in chapter 11 cases, NPM has organized its time by category in respect to the nature of the services it provided to the Trustee and the Genever Debtors. All services provided to the Genever Debtors fell within the Case Administration category, and thus this category is divided between services provided to the Trustee and to the respective Genever Debtors. More specifically, the services provided under each category and NPM's summaries of same are as follows: A. Case Administration: Fees: \$4,842.00 Total Hours: 11.50

40. NPM prepared and filed operating reports on behalf of the Genever Debtors. In connection with these services, NPM communicated with the Genever (BVI) Director, the Trustee, and co-counsel at Paul Hastings regarding issues related to the operating reports and bank statements for the Genever (US) account. Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 14 of 316 B. Asset Analysis and Recovery: Fees: \$331,208.50 Total Hours: 779.80

41. NPM performed services to assist the Trustee in investigating and seeking to recover assets for the benefit of the Debtors' chapter 11 estates. The Trustee has undertaken a broad-ranging investigation of assets that the Individual Debtor has sought to shield from his creditors.

42. Much of the Trustee's investigation has taken the form of Bankruptcy Rule 2004 examinations. NPM has pursued discovery from various parties, including banks, affiliated entities, and individuals to ascertain the extent of Individual Debtor's assets and recover the same for the benefit of Individual Debtor's estate.

43. NPM counsel continued to assist Paul Hastings in preparing supplemental motions under Bankruptcy Rule 2004 seeking discovery from various individuals and entities. Specifically, during the Application Period, NPM counsel assisted with the drafting and prosecution of the Trustee's Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth omnibus Bankruptcy Rule 2004 Motions [ECF Nos. 2508, 2514, 2984, 2996] and the preparation of and enforcement of compliance with dozens of subpoenas with respect to these and prior Bankruptcy Rule 2004 Motions. Throughout this process, NPM has served as conflicts counsel as to examinees where Paul Hastings has had conflicts (including numerous financial institutions and technology companies).

44. Some examinees have resisted compliance with the Trustee's Bankruptcy Rule 2004 subpoenas and NPM's professionals took appropriate action for the Trustee to obtain compliance as needed. Significantly, without resort to motion practice, during the Application Period NPM worked with dozens of entities and individuals that received Bankruptcy Rule 2004 subpoenas and supplemental subpoenas to obtain documents and information to advance the Trustee's investigation. The documents and information collected were of paramount importance

Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 15 of 316

in, among other things, uncovering the Individual Debtor's assets and preparing to commence adversary proceedings to prosecute claims to avoid transfers of the Individual Debtor's funds and property of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 estate.

45. During the Application Period as part of this process, NPM has worked closely with professionals from Kroll, LLC ("Kroll"), the Trustee's forensic investigator, in order to ascertain further areas and subjects requiring investigation and to identify and close any "gaps" within the universe of documents and information obtained by the Trustee to date. NPM also worked cooperatively with Kroll to facilitate analysis of the documents and information obtained in the Trustee's Bankruptcy Rule 2004 investigation—which analysis has been leveraged in preparing and prosecuting the Trustee's litigation claims.

46. During the Application Period, NPM attorneys also assisted Paul Hastings attorneys with the preparation and filing of the *Complaint of Chapter 11 Trustee for Damages for Violations of the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act and Conspiracy to Violate the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act* (Adv. Proc. No. 24-5273, the "Civil RICO Complaint") and the *Complaint of the Chapter 11 Trustee for Estate of Ho Wan Kwok Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 541, 542, and 544, Seeking (I) Declaratory Judgment that Certain Entities are Alter Egos of Debtors and (II) Related Relief* (Adv. Proc. No. 24-5249, the "Omnibus Alter Ego Complaint"). C. Avoidance Action Analysis: Fees \$738,013.50 Total Hours: 1,842.00

47. During the Application Period, NPM worked with the Trustee, Kroll, and Paul Hastings to commence over 270 actions (the "Avoidance Actions") on or shortly before the twoyear anniversary of the Petition Date. NPM undertook key tasks including:

Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 16 of 316

a. NPM attorneys undertook extensive review and analysis of the Individual Debtor's financial transactions undertaken via his alter egos. In consultation with Kroll and Paul Hastings, NPM also investigated the business affairs of potential defendants in Avoidance Actions and the connections between such entities and individuals and the Individual Debtor (including his alter egos). NPM used this investigation and analysis to advise the Trustee in connection with potential avoidance claims.

b. NPM attorneys drafted litigation procedures applicable to Avoidance Actions and assisted in preparation and the successful prosecution of a motion to obtain Court approval of the litigation procedures. Following the filing of the Avoidance Actions, NPM attorneys took part in drafting mediation procedures applicable to the avoidance actions and assisted with the preparation and prosecution of a motion that resulted in the approval of such procedures.

c. NPM attorneys drafted more than 200 Avoidance Action complaints arising from fraudulent pre- and unauthorized postpetition transfers under the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state laws. This involved further analysis of avoidance claims to create complaints customized to the applicable alter egos, amounts, and claims (prepetition, postpetition, or both) in the various Avoidance Actions. The time constraints imposed by the volume of Avoidance Actions required NPM's attorneys and staff to devote substantial time during the evenings and weekends to commencing these adversary proceedings. NPM also prepared both sealed and unsealed versions of complaints and carefully handled confidential information contained therein. Upon filing the Avoidance Actions, NPM coordinated with Paul Hastings to assist with the service of Avoidance Actions (particularly as to defendants as to which Paul Hastings may have had conflicts). Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 17 of 316

d. After the Avoidance Actions were filed and served, NPM worked on filing appearances and certificates of service, as well as analyzing potential defenses to such actions. Additionally, during the Application Period, as part of NPM's efforts to recover assets for the Trustee, NPM continued to attend numerous hearings and prosecute the avoidance actions with the assistance of Paul Hastings attorneys.

e. NPM attorneys, with the consultation of the Trustee, negotiated, prepared and entered into Tolling Agreements with twenty-four tolling parties which enabled the Trustee and the tolling parties to have additional time to review and discuss the resolution of claims without the costs associated with an ongoing litigation. The Tolling Agreements were approved by the Court after submission under seal by NPM.

f. NPM attorneys were responsible for researching agent information for the defendants to effectively serve each summons and complaint in each avoidance action.

48. Overall, NPM played a crucial role in managing and executing the various tasks involved in the commencement of the Avoidance Actions during the Application Period in order to recover assets for the benefit of the Individual Debtor's estate.

49. In consultation with the United States Trustee, as of its time records for March 2024, NPM began categorizing time incurred with respect to specific Avoidance Actions as to which suit had been commenced by project codes specific to such Avoidance Actions. NPM separately summarizes these services below and the nature of the services is specifically described in NPM's fee statements attached to this Application. NPM has continued to categorize its services performed in connection with all or multiple Avoidance Actions (e.g., services performed in connection with generally applicable mediation procedures) within the Avoidance Action Analysis category.

Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 18 of 316 D. Fee/Employment Applications: Fees: \$16,572.00 Total Hours: 36.80

50. NPM attorneys worked with the Trustee and Paul Hastings attorneys by preparing and prosecuting a number of retention and fee applications during the Application Period. As an initial matter, NPM prepared and prosecuted its Fourth Interim Fee Application. NPM also prepared and filed the December 2023 and January 2024 Monthly Fee Statements, in addition to assisting Paul Hastings attorneys with filing Paul Hastings' Fee Application. Without obligation to do so, NPM wrote off substantial time (in excess of four hours) devoted to its review of invoices and preparation of Monthly Fee Statements for December 2023 and January 2024.

51. During the Application Period, NPM also assisted with the preparation and filing of the fee applications for the Trustee' s retained law firms of Paul Wright and Harney Westwood & Riegel, LP. Harney Westwood & Riegels, LP assisted the Trustee in connection with discovery with the adversary proceeding relating to the private residence at 675 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, New Jersey 07430 (the "Mahwah Mansion"). Paul Wright provided representation to the Trustee in the United Kingdom court hearings in connection with English Litigation proceedings brought by the Individual Debtor, Ace Decade Holdings Limited, and Dawn State Limited against UBS AG, which litigation concerns property of the Individual Debtor's estate. NPM responded to inquiries from the Committee and the United States Trustee concerning these fee applications. E. Adversary Proceedings (and Related Appeals):

52. During the Application Period, NPM attorneys worked with Paul Hastings attorneys in the prosecution of both adversary and appellate proceedings. More specifically, NPM counsel performed the following services: Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 19 of 316 (i) Greenwich Land Adv. Proc. 23-5005: Fees: \$396.00 Total Hours: .80

53. This adversary proceeding (the "Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding") concerns the Trustee's claims against Greenwich Land LLC and Hing Chi Ngok (the Individual Debtor's alleged wife) that the corporate defendant and its assets are property of the Estate. During the Application Period, NPM continued to work with Paul Hastings on the prosecution of a motion for summary judgment against the defendants. (ii) Sherry Netherland Adv. Proc. 23-5002: Fees \$445.50 Total Hours: .90

54. This adversary proceeding (the "Sherry Netherland Possession Adversary Proceeding") relates to possession of the Individual Debtor's penthouse apartment at the Sherry Netherland Hotel. During the Application Period, NPM attorneys worked with Paul Hastings attorneys on the preparation and filing of a motion to adjourn a pretrial conference in this action. (iii) Mei Guo Adv. Proc 23-5008: Fees: \$89,049.00 Total Hours: 192.80

55. This adversary proceeding (the "Mei Guo/Aircraft Adversary Proceeding") relates to the proceeds from the unauthorized postpetition sale of the Individual Debtor's Bombardier Global XRS private jet. The Trustee has asserted claims including, among other things, that the private jet and its sale proceeds are property of the Individual Debtor's estate.

56. During the Application Period, NPM attorneys continued briefing and prosecuted a motion for summary judgment, which the Court granted with respect to the Trustee's First and Fourth Claims alleging the Trustee beneficially owns Whitecroft and the sale proceeds. Accordingly, the Court ordered, among other things, Ms. Guo to turn over the aircraft sale proceeds to the Trustee, which resulted in the Trustee obtaining more than \$10 million for the benefit of the Individual Debtor's estate. This involved NPM undertaking, among other things, the following: (a) researching and analyzing documents to prepare the Trustee's case and to respond to the Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 20 of 316

defendant's opposition to the Trustee's motion for summary judgment, (b) enforcing subpoenas and obtaining and reviewing additional document production in connection therewith, (c) composing numerous authentication declarations, and (d) preparing for and arguing the motion for summary judgment to the Court. (iv) HCHK Adv. Proc. 23-5013: Fees: \$49,302.00 Total Hours: 99.60

57. This adversary proceeding (the "HCHK Adversary Proceeding") concerns the "HCHK Entities," i.e., entities that the Trustee believes are alter egos of the Individual Debtor that are in possession of more than \$38 million in assets. Prior to the Application Period, the Trustee obtained a temporary restraining order suspending state court proceedings that threatened to dissipate the HCHK Entities' assets.

58. During the Application Period, NPM attorneys prepared for and attended hearings, including on the defendant's Motion to Set Aside Default, which was denied by the Court on February 28, 2024. Subsequently, on March 11, 2024, the defendants filed an appeal from the Bankruptcy Court to set aside the Court's February 28, 2024, Memorandum of Decision and Order Denying Motion to Set Aside Default. NPM attorneys also assisted Paul Hastings in the preparation and prosecution of the Trustee's Motion for a Default Judgment and a reply memorandum in support of same. The Court has since granted the Trustee's Motion for Default Judgment [ECF No. 290]. (v) Mahwah Adv. Proc. 23-5017: Fees: \$8,795.50 Total Hours: 20.30

60. During the Application Period, NPM's attorneys worked with Paul Hastings to issue subpoenas and obtain and review additional document production. The following banks were served subpoenas by NPM attorneys for document production: PNC Bank, Prime Trust Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Silver Gate Bank, First Bank, and Valley National Bank. NPM attorneys conducted research to obtain information regarding specific parties necessary for subpoena production. Likewise, NPM attorneys coordinated with Paul Hastings attorneys to maintain records of the status of the bank's responses to the subpoenas. (vi) Golden Spring Adv. Proc. 23-5018: Fees: \$2,595.00 Total Hours: 5.60

61. This adversary proceeding (the "Golden Spring Adversary Proceeding") concerns the Trustee's claims that an entity known as Golden Spring (New York) Ltd. (the "Golden Spring") which has funded millions of dollars of the Individual Debtor's expenses is the Individual Debtor's alter ego or is beneficially owned by the Individual Debtor. Prior to the Application Period, the Court granted default judgment in favor of the Trustee.

62. During the Application Period, NPM attorneys prepared a motion for order enforcing the default judgment and directing Axos Bank to turn over Golden Spring's funds in the amount of \$1,592,469.98 to the Estate. NPM's attorneys also negotiated the consent of Axos Bank to this motion. As a result, the Court granted the motion and Axos Bank turned these funds over to the Trustee for the benefit of the Individual Debtor's estate. (vii) Lamp Capital Adv. Proc. 23-05023: Fees: \$5,252.50 Total Hours: 10.50

63. In this adversary proceeding (the "Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding"), the Trustee sought, among other things, declaratory relief to the effect that Lamp Capital LLC ("Lamp Capital"), Infinity Treasure Management Inc. ("Infinity"), Hudson Diamond NY LLC, and

Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 22 of 316

Leading Shine NY Ltd, and their property, are property of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 estate.

64. As counsel for the Trustee and in consultation with Paul Hastings, NPM assisted with the prosecution of a motion for default judgment against Lamp Capital and Infinity. The Court granted the motion by order dated February 1, 2024 [ECF No. 63 in Adv. Proc. 23-05023].

65. During this application period, NPM's attorneys also assisted Paul Hastings with the Trustee's opposition to Leading Shine's Motion to Set Aside the Court's Default and in opposing a Motion to Dismiss filed by Leading Shine. In addition, NPM attorneys assisted Paul Hastings attorneys in objecting to motions to dismiss filed by Hudson Diamond NY LLC, and Leading Shine. The Court ultimately granted Leading Shine's motion to set aside default and denied the motions to dismiss. (viii) Ace Decade Adv. Proc 23-5028 Fees: \$6,103.50 Total Hours: 12.30

66. In this adversary proceeding (the "Ace Decade Holding Limited Adversary Proceeding") the Trustee seeks to set aside the transfer of the ownership of Ace Decade Holdings Limited ("Ace Decade"), which the Court has found is beneficially owned by the Individual Debtor, by Yanping ("Yvette") Wang to Rui Hao.

67. During the Application Period, NPM attorneys assisted Paul Hastings in the preparation of pleadings related to the litigation in the Ace Decade matter, including an objection to Ms. Wang's motion to dismiss. On March 26, 2024, the Court denied Ms. Wang's motion to dismiss. NPM attorneys also prepared and filed a request on behalf of the Trustee for entry of default against Ace Decade Holdings. Further, Ms. Wang filed a motion for order altering, amending or reconsidering the Court's order denying the defendant's motion to extend time to Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 23 of 316

interpose an answer, and NPM attorneys assisted with the Trustee's opposition to such motion, following which Ms. Wang withdrew the motion. (ix) Specific Avoidance Actions: Fees: \$113,611.00 Total Hours: 235.[9]4

68. In consultation with the United States Trustee, as of March 2024, NPM has separately categorized its fees incurred in pending Avoidance Actions. The foregoing fees and hours represent the aggregate of time devoted to the prosecution of the Trustee's Avoidance Actions in March and April 2024.

69. NPM attorneys communicated with counsel for defendants in Avoidance Actions to negotiate extensions of time for such defendants to respond to the Trustee's complaints, to engage in preliminary settlement discussions with such defendants, and to exchange information regarding the Trustee's claims and defendants' responses to same.

70. These exchanges of information have already resulted in value to the estate. In addition to strengthening the Trustee's claims in many avoidance actions and in laying the groundwork for potential resolutions of others, through these investigations the Trustee learned that prior to the Petition Date, the Individual Debtor (through his alter ego, Lamp Capital) owned a limited partnership interest in Reverence Capital Partners Opportunities Fund I (Cayman) L.P. ("Reverence Capital"). By virtue of this interest, the Trustee has or will obtain, among other things, well in excess of \$3 million in the form of publicly traded securities and cash distributions.

4 This time is specifically categorized by Avoidance Action as set forth in the Trustee's March and April 2024 Fee Statements under the following project codes: L613, L614, L615, L616, L617, L618, L622, L623, L625, L626, L629, L633, L634, L635, L638, L640, L641, L642, L643, L644, L645, L646 ,L649, L651, L652, L653, L654, L656, L657, L658, L660, L662, L664, L666, L667, L668, L669, L671, L672, L675, L676, L677, L678, L679, L680, L683, L685, L686, L691 L692, L695, L699, L701, L705 L708, L709, L714, L715, L716, L717, L718, L719 L721, L723, L724, L725, L726, L728, L729, L733, L735, L737, L738, L739, L741, L742, L743, L744, L746, L747, L750, L752, L754, L756 L758, L761, L763, L766, L767, L771, L773, L775, L776, L777, L778, L783, L790, L791, L792, L793 ,L794, L796, L797, L799, L803, L805, L806, L808, L811, L814, L816, L817, L820, L823, L828, L830, L831, L834, L835, L838, L839, L842, L845, L847, L855, L856 ,L857, L859, L869, L878, L905, L920, L921, L926, and L927.

71. All of the professional services for which this award is being sought hereby were rendered solely on behalf of the Trustee and Genever Debtors in connection with the chapter 11 proceedings herein.

72. Applicant respectfully submits that its services have benefited the Trustee and the Genever Debtors with the expertise and skill required in the handling of bankruptcy matters. The legal services for which such compensation is requested were performed for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Genever Debtors. Such services have been necessary to protect and enforce the rights and interests of the Trustee and the Genever Debtors in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. The reasonable value of services rendered by NPM in these proceedings is based upon NPM's usual hourly rates for matters of this nature.

73. Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code prescribes the general standards for determining the amount of compensation to be paid to professionals. The Applicant submits that the amount sought for the Application Period represents reasonable compensation for professional services rendered based upon the time spent, the nature, the extent, and the value of such services, taking into account the cost of comparable services in a non-bankruptcy case.

74. 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(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that, after notice and a hearing, the Court may award a professional employed under 11 U.S.C. §

Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 25 of 316

327 "reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered" and "reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses." 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1).[5]

75. In determining the amount of "reasonable compensation," the Court must consider the nature, extent, and value of the services, taking into account all the relevant factors, including the time spent on such services, the rates charged for such services, whether the services were necessary and beneficial, whether the services were performed in a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problem, issue, or task addressed, and whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases other than cases under the Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3). The Court enjoys "considerable discretion in determining reasonable fee awards." In re Ahead Communications Systems, Inc., 395 B.R. 512, 516 (D. Conn. 2008).

76. In assessing the "reasonableness" of the fees requested, the Second Circuit has stated that courts should consider the factors enumerated in Johnson v. Ga. Highway Express, Inc. 488 F.2d 714 (5th Cir. 1974) (abrogated on other grounds by Blanchard v. Bergeron, 489 U.S. 87 [1989]), [6] while also bearing in mind that a "reasonable, paying client wishes to spend the minimum necessary to litigate the case effectively." See Arbor Hill Concerned Citizens Neighborhood Ass'n v. County of Albany and Albany County Bd. of Elections, 522 F.3d 182, 190 (2d Cir. 2007). The factors set forth in Johnson and In re First Colonial Corp. of Am., 544 F.2d 1291, 1298–99 (5th

5 Under section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, with bankruptcy court approval, a trustee may employ professional persons under section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code "on any reasonable terms and conditions of employment, including on a retainer, on an hourly basis, on a fixed or percentage fee basis, or on a contingent fee basis." 11 U.S.C. § 328(a).

6 The twelve Johnson factors are: (1) the time and labor required, (2) the novelty and difficulty of the questions, (3) the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly, (4) the preclusion of other employment by the attorney due to acceptance of the case, (5) the customary fee, (6) whether the fee is fixed or contingent, (7) the time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances, (8) the amount involved and the results obtained, (9) the experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys, (10) the "undesirability" of the case, (11) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client, and (12) awards in similar cases. Johnson, 488 F.2d at 717-19. Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 26 of 316

Cir. 1977) have been adopted by most courts.[7] See In re Nine Assocs., Inc., 76 B.R. 943, 945 (S.D.N.Y. 1987) (adopting First Colonial/Johnson analysis); In re Cuisine Magazine, Inc., 61 B.R. 210, 212–13 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y 1986) (same); Green v. City of New York, 403 F. Appx. 626, 629 (2d Cir. 2010) (summary order); see generally 3 COLLIER ON BANKRUPTCY ¶ 330.03[9] (Lawrence P. King ed., 16th ed. 2016) (describing First Colonial and Johnson as the "leading cases with regard to the factors to be considered in determining a reasonable allowance of compensation").

77. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable case law, the amount requested herein by NPM is fair and reasonable.

78. No agreement or understanding exists between NPM and any other person for the sharing of compensation received or to be received for services rendered in or in connection with this matter. NPM will not, in any form or guise, share or agree to share compensation for services with any person, nor will NPM share in the compensation for any other person rendering service in these cases, except as so provided by Section 504(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 2016 of the Bankruptcy Rules.

79. NPM responds to the questions set forth in Paragraph C.5. of the U.S. Trustee Guidelines as follows:

> Question: Did you agree to any variations from, or alternatives to, your standard or customary billing rates, fees, or terms for services

7 The factors articulated in First Colonial were first articulated by the Fifth Circuit in Johnson, with the First Colonial court adding the factor of the "spirit of economy," which was later rejected by Congress. See Stroock & Stroock & Lavan v. Hillsborough Holdings Corp. (In re Hillsborough Holdings Corp.), 127 F.3d 1398, 1403 (11th Cir. 1997).

pertaining to this engagement that were provided during the Application Period?

- Response: No. Question: If the fees sought in this application as compared to the fees budgeted for the Application Period are higher by 10% or more, did you discuss the reasons for the variation with the client. Response: Not applicable. Question: Have any of the professionals included in this application varied their hourly rate based on the geographic location of the bankruptcy case? Response: No. Question: Does the application include time or fees related to reviewing or revising time records or preparing, reviewing, or revising invoices? (This is limited to work involved in preparing and editing billing records that would not be compensable outside of bankruptcy and does not include reasonable fees for preparing a fee application.) If so, please quantify by hours and fees. Response: The Application does not include time for preparing, reviewing, or revising time records. However, the Application does include approximately 2.7 hours and associated fees of approximately \$893.00 related to preparing, reviewing, and revising NPM's monthly fee statements and ensuring time entries are properly categorized by matter number and task code. NPM notes that, without obligation to do so, NPM wrote off certain time devoted to reviewing invoices in connection with its monthly fee statements. Question: Does this application include time or fees for reviewing time records to redact any privileged or other confidential information? If so, please quantify by hours and fees. Response: No. Question: If the application includes any rate increases since retention: - (i) Did your client review and approve those rate increases in advance? (ii) Did your client agree when retaining the law firm to accept all future rates increases? If not, did you inform your client that they need not agree to modified rates or terms in order to have you continue the representation consistent with ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 11-458.

Case 22-50073 Doc 3287 Filed 06/25/24 Entered 06/25/24 23:43:56 Page 28 of 316

> Response: As is customary and contemplated by the terms of its engagement and the Court's orders approving same, NPM adjusts its hourly rates periodically based upon (i) the advancing seniority of its professionals and paraprofessionals, (ii) the current market for legal services, (iii) the rates charged for comparable non‐ bankruptcy services, and (iv) the firm's analysis of the hourly rates being charged by professionals in other law firms. Effective January 1, 2024, NPM adjusted its hourly rates consistent with the Retention Order [ECF No. 668] and the Notice of Change in Hourly Rates of Neubert, Pepe & Monteith, P.C. [ECF No. 2454].

80. In connection with NPM's Second Interim Application and Fourth Interim Application, there exists \$275,251.50 of Prior Fee App Holdbacks. In addition, for the months of January, February, and March of 2024, as to which 80% of NPM's fees are payable pursuant to Monthly Fee Statements filed by NPM, there exists a \$216,947.70 Application Period Holdback.

81. NPM requests that in addition to allowing the interim compensation requested by this Application, the Court direct that 50 percent of the Prior Fee App Holdbacks and 100 percent of the Application Period Holdback be paid to NPM. In light of the services performed by NPM during the Application Period and the substantial recoveries to which these services have contributed for the benefit of the estate, NPM submits that such payments are appropriate.

82. To the extent that time or disbursement charges for services rendered or expenses incurred during the Application Period are not included in this Application, or NPM has for any reason not sought compensation or reimbursement with respect to such services, NPM reserves the right to request compensation and reimbursement for such services in a supplemental or future application in these Chapter 11 Cases. Also, NPM does not waive, and expressly reserves, its right to respond to any objections regarding this Application and the amounts sought for services rendered and expenses incurred.

58. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made to this Court or any other court.

WHEREFORE, NPM respectfully requests entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto, (i) allowing interim compensation for professional services rendered during the Application Period in the amount of \$1,357,568.50, (ii) allowing compensation for expenses incurred in the amount of \$17,663.61, (iii) authorizing and directing prompt payment of all fees and expenses allowed and awarded for April 2024, (iv) authorizing and directing prompt payment from the chapter 11 estate of the Individual Debtor of the Application Period Holdback and 50 percent of the Prior Holdbacks, (v) allowing such compensation and payment for professional services rendered without prejudice to NPM's right to seek further compensation and/or payment from the Debtors' estates for the full value of services performed and expenses incurred, and/or to seek release of any amounts that remain subject to a holdback, and (vi) granting NPM such other and further relief as is just.
