Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC et al v. Cyberlux Corporation et al.

Cause No. 202448085

Tele: 713-588-6900

The Court FINDS that:

Fraudulent Transfer Act §24.009, with the power and authority to take possession of all leviable property of Debtors. This Order shall also serve as a Turnover Order, and the Judgment Creditor is entitled to collect post-judgment attorney's fees under TEX. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 31.002(e).

THEREFORE, the Court ORDERS the relief as set out below:

reason of any for any act performed or omitted to be performed by Receiver or those engaged or employed by Receiver for the discharge of their duties and responsibilities for the Receivership, including exercising control over Receivership assets.

a. All third parties who hold a Debtor's property or records are ordered to immediately notify Receiver and to deliver the property within ten working days of Receiver's demand.

b. All third parties knowing of this order are ordered to immediately notify Receiver if they discover the existence of a Debtor's property, or of facts that might lead to the discovery of property in which any Debtor has any interest.

c. Anyone resisting Receiver's order or request, based on legal or other advice, is ordered to give the full name, address, fax number, e-mail address, cell phone

Cause No. 202448085

number, and direct telephone number for each person giving that advice and to instruct those persons to immediately contact Receiver. Doing so waives no attorney-client communication privilege.

a. Deliver to Receiver, at the address of the Receiver, the items described in Exhibit A, attached hereto as part of this Order, and all documents and records requested by Receiver, within ten days, then occasionally, in the time periods, manners, and formats requested;

b. Turnover to Receiver all non-exempt funds to the extent required to satisfy the Judgment. No Debtor may spend non-exempt funds, or sell, transfer, or encumber non-exempt assets without Receiver's prior written consent;

c. Disclose to Receiver all assets of each Debtor, and directly nor indirectly interfere with or impede Receiver to perform his duties. Debtor must disclose all exempt and non-exempt assets so the exempt status of every asset can be determined. Debtor's disclosure must provide sufficient specificity to permit a constable to identify and levy on the assets;

d. Supplement all disclosures, in writing, within five days of knowledge of information required to be disclosed, without being prompted;

e. Organize and collate the disclosed information and documents in the formats and manners required by Receiver. The disclosures must be indexed and refer to the request to which it is responding. Responses like, "See response number so and so." are prohibited;

f. Deliver to Receiver all passwords, user identification, login and other credentials used to access websites, owned, controlled, or managed by each Debtor and on-line accounts that allow the control of assets (e.g. financial accounts, webhosting accounts, and other accounts used to control assets).

g. Debtor may not dispute a check that Receiver seizes and deposits, without first obtaining the Court's permission.

h. If Debtor believes that the Receiver's demands are inappropriate, the Debtor must first comply, then seek protection from the Court. Debtors seeking protection must set the matter for the earliest possible hearing date, after giving full notice to the Receiver and attempting to resolve the issues.

Cause No. 202448085

without the express approval of the Receiver.9 This order supersedes the authority of any officers, directors or managers of the business entity debtor.

aircraft to conduct surveillance of the Debtor's property held in custodia legis, and such operations are deemed essential for the safety of the Receiver in his official duties under Tex. Gov. Code § 423.002(a);

Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC et al v. Cyberlux Corporation et al.

Protected Property Claim Form approved by the Supreme Court, or within 17 days if service was by mail. If the Judgment Debtor asserts an exemption, Receiver may only disburse funds to Judgment Creditor or sell property with Judgment Debtor's written consent or a court order.

Atlantic Wave Holdings, LLC et al v. Cyberlux Corporation et al.

a. The orders must be directed to the entity from which the information is sought and specifically describe the information requested with the dates for which the information is required, which may not be more than one year before issuing Receiver's request, unless specifically stated in the request or attachments.

b. This order specifically defines Receiver as a state official, acting in an official capacity, as defined in section 182.054(1) of the Texas Utility Code.

c. This order specifically serves as the court order required by 47 U.S.C. § 551, and TEX. FIN.

a. If no objection is timely filed, Receiver may abandon the property as described in the notice, without further order.

b. If an objection is timely filed, the proposed abandonment or sale must not be completed until the Court has decided the objection.

finds 25% is a fair, reasonable, customary, and necessary fee for Receiver. A Receiver's fee exceeding 25% of all funds coming into Receiver's possession may be awarded after notice and opportunity for hearing to all parties. Specifically, the Court may award the Receiver 33% of collected funds should the Receiver collect the full amount of the judgment. If the Debtor files bankruptcy, Receiver's fee shall be equal to 25 percent of the debt owed when the bankruptcy is filed, and may be filed as a secured claim should a valid abstract of judgment be on file at the time of bankruptcy filing. Receiver is directed to pay plaintiff's attorney, as plaintiff's trustee, the remainder of all funds coming into Receiver's possession, after deducting Receiver's costs and payment of liens or set offs as Receiver deems reasonable within a reasonable time.

Express, Inc., 488 F.2d 714 (5th Cir. 1974), set out twelve factors that a court should consider in determining a reasonable fee."

BE IT SO ORDERED. Any and all further relief not expressly stated herein is denied.
