Section 17.Payment of Fees.

All reasonable fees and expenses incurred by RTL and the Existing 2013 Notes Steering Committee and their advisors in connection with the Company, the negotiation, evaluation, formulation and consummation of the Plan and any related documents, including those reasonable fees and expenses due for each of Brown Rudnick LLP, Duff & Phelps Corp., White & Case LLP and Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., and including the reasonable fees and expenses of any local counsel retained in Delaware, Russia, Poland or elsewhere as necessary, which fees shall be treated as Allowed Administrative Claims under the Plan and paid without the need for any application to the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 18.Specific Performance.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach, including, without limitation, an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 18 or otherwise in this Agreement shall alter or affect the rights and obligations of RTL set forth in the RTL Investment Agreement.

Section 19.Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, may be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to New York jurisdiction, if the Chapter 11 Cases are commenced, each Party agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 20.Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

Each of the Parties waives any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, between any of them arising out of, connected with, relating to or incidental to the relationship established between any of them in connection with this Agreement. Instead, any disputes resolved in court shall be resolved in a bench trial without a jury.

By execution and delivery of this Agreement, and for purposes of any action, suit or proceeding or other contested matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered or order entered in any such action, suit, proceeding or other contested matter, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the personal jurisdiction of (a) United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or (b) the Bankruptcy Court, if such Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction.

Section 22.Releases.

In the event an Amended Plan is pursued, the Parties agree that the Restructuring will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, which in the case of any third-party releases shall be subject to customary carve-outs, include a full release of the Plan Support Parties and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, members, officers, directors, agents, financial advisors, accountants, investment bankers, consultants, attorneys, employees, partners, affiliates and representatives (the “Releases”).

Subject to the Company acceding to this Agreement in accordance with Section 10 hereof, the Company will not take any steps to change the Company’s current entity classification for income tax purposes by changing its legal form or otherwise except as contemplated by the Restructuring or otherwise agreed to in writing by the Plan Support Parties.

Section 24.Successors and Assigns.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and each of their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives.
