Section 18.

Survival of Agreement.

Each of the Parties (a) acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is being executed in connection with negotiations concerning a possible financial restructuring of the Company and in contemplation of possible chapter 11 filings by the Company, and the rights granted in this Agreement are enforceable by each signatory hereto without approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and (b) to the extent enforceable, waives any right to assert that the exercise of termination rights under this Agreement is subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and expressly stipulates and consents hereunder to the prospective modification of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of exercising termination rights under this Agreement, to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall prejudice any Party’s right to argue that termination was not proper under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 19.

Waiver.

This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of a dispute among the Parties. If the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated following the occurrence of the Termination Date, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms.

Section 20.

Relationship Among Parties.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Plan Support Parties under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. No Plan Support Party shall have any responsibility for any trading by any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between Plan Support Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. The Plan Support Parties have no agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any equity securities of the Company and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.

Section 21.

Payment of Fees.

The Chapter 11 Plan shall provide that all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Steering Committee and its respective advisors in connection with the negotiation, evaluation, formulation and consummation of the Chapter 11 Plan and any predecessor restructuring proposals, the Old Offering Memorandum, the Offering Memorandum, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan), and any exhibits, schedules, and supplements thereto, including, those reasonable fees and expenses due for each of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, and Moelis & Company, and including the reasonable fees and expenses of any local counsel retained in Delaware, Russia, Poland or elsewhere as necessary, are to be paid by the Company without the need for the filing of any applications with any bankruptcy court. The Company’s obligations to pay fees and expenses incurred by RTL and its advisors shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the RTL Investment Agreement.

Section 22.

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 22 or otherwise in this Agreement shall alter or affect the rights and obligations of RTL or the Company set forth in the RTL Investment Agreement.

Section 23.

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 24.

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.

Section 25.

Personal Jurisdiction.

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 26.

Releases.

In the event a Chapter 11 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”).

Section 27.

Tax Matters.

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 28.

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.

The covenants in the Indenture for the New Secured Notes shall provide that immediately (or as soon as is reasonably possible) after the issuance of the New Secured Notes, the Parent, the Issuer and all Restricted Subsidiaries shall use all commercially available means to ensure that the New Secured Notes are secured by pledges over all or substantially all of the material intellectual property relating to CEDC’s brands (whether used now or in the future), provided that CEDC shall not be required to grant a security interest in respect of those assets (i) to the extent that such a grant would result in a violation of applicable law or director’s duties or breach of contract in existence on the date here which breach cannot be avoided without unreasonable efforts or (ii) as to which the costs of granting such a security interest are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby as reasonable determined by CEDC and the Steering Committee (or its counsel) provided that if at any point in the future the circumstances set out in proviso (i) above no longer prevent CEDC from granting such security interest CEDC will at that time grant such security. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the proviso in the forgoing sentence, such security shall include (but not be limited to) direct pledges over CEDC’s rights in the following brands:

Bols Vodka;

Zubrowka Vodka / Zubrowka Biala Vodka;

(b) a default (after giving effect to any applicable grace period) under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or payment of which is guaranteed by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default (x) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default or (y) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other Indebtedness or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more.
