|
||
|
||
(b) In determining whether to provide additional assistance under this title or under other laws of the United States, the court shall consider whether such additional assistance, consistent with the principles of comity, will reasonably assure—

|
||
|
||
(2) protection of claim holders in the United States against prejudice and inconvenience in the processing of claims in such foreign proceeding;

|
||
(3) prevention of preferential or fraudulent dispositions of property of the debtor;
|
||
|
||
(4) distribution of proceeds of the debtor’s property substantially in accordance with the order prescribed by this title; and
|
||
|
