I, Julie Grace Burke, being duly sworn, state the following under penalty of perjury:

1. I am a real estate agent associated with Compass, Inc. ("Compass"), at its office

located at 200 Greenwich Avenue, 3rd Floor, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, and I am the

proposed listing agent with respect to the sale of the Taconic Property.

2. I submit this declaration (the "Declaration") in support of the *Motion of Trustee,*

*Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Sections 327(a), 328, and 363(b), Bankruptcy Rules 2014(a) and*

*2016, and Local Rule 2014-1, for Entry of Order (I) Authorizing Employment and Retention of*

2 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).

3 Capitalized terms used but otherwise not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Motion.

Wan Kwok (the "Debtor"), seeking an order approving, among other things, the retention of Compass as broker pursuant to sections 327(a) and 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. This Declaration supplements my prior declaration appended to the Motion (the "Original Declaration") and the supplemental declaration of David Haffenreffer filed August 29, 2024 [ECF No. 3484].

3. In connection with the Motion, I have reviewed the list of parties in interest (the "Parties in Interest"), attached hereto as **Schedule 1**, provided by counsel to the Trustee.

4. Several names of financial institutions listed are familiar to me, and, in fact, I have accounts at both Citibank N.A. and Bank of America N.A. Moreover, I am familiar with several Greenwich- and/or Stamford-based law firms, such as Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara LLC and Whitman Breed Abbott & Morgan LLC, which I have interfaced with on various real estate transactions and which may have referred clients to Compass (but have not referred clients to me individually). I have referred clients to some of these firms in the past.

5. Based on my review and personal knowledge, I am not aware of me or Compass having any connections with the Parties in Interest other than as disclosed in this Declaration or as previously disclosed in my Original Declaration. I certainly believe that Compass and I are not conflicted in any way with respect to the marketing and sale of the Taconic Property. To the extent that I become aware of any conflict and/or connections not disclosed to date, I will promptly submit a further supplemental declaration to that effect to the Trustee.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
