	 	a.	 EXCO may contribute all or any portion of its Appalachia Shallow Rights to any Person other than the Partnership, without EXCO Holding or its
Affiliates complying with the provisions of Section 11.1(b) of the GP LLC Agreement, but only so long as (i) the equity ownership of such Person is, or following such contribution will be, predominantly held (considered from an economic
perspective), by Operating Partners and (ii) each such Operating Partner received, or will be entitled to receive, a significant portion of its interests in such Person in exchange for the contribution thereto of assets of such Operating
Partner (such Person, an “Operating Partnership”). In the event that any such Operating Partnership includes, or proposes to include, any equity owner(s) other than Operating Partners (“Non-Operating Partners”),
EXCO Parent shall offer the Partnership the right to invest in such Operating Partnership as a Non-Operating Partner, subject to the consent of the other Operating Partners participating in such Operating Partnership, and EXCO Parent shall use its
best efforts to cause such Operating Partnership to permit the Partnership to invest in such Operating Partnership, concurrent with the contribution by EXCO of all or a portion of its Appalachia Shallow Rights to such Operating Partnership

  
 2 

	 	
(or, in the case of a subsequent investment by any Non-Operating Partner, at the time the Operating Partnership offers the investment opportunity to such Non-Operating Partner). In the event that
the Partnership invests in such Operating Partnership, the foregoing sentence shall no longer apply to EXCO or any of its Affiliates with respect to future investments in such Operating Partnership. 

 

	 	b.	 EXCO may, without EXCO Holding or its Affiliates complying with the provisions of Section 11.1(b) of the GP LLC Agreement, sell or otherwise
Transfer any Appalachia Shallow Rights to any Person that is not an Affiliate of EXCO, in a transaction or series of transactions in which neither EXCO nor any of its Affiliates (i) remains the operator of such Appalachia Shallow Rights being
sold or otherwise Transferred or (ii) receives any general partnership or other promoted equity interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, profits, incentive or other contingent interests) or any significant Control rights in a Person in
exchange for such Appalachia Shallow Rights being sold (such transaction, a “ROFO Sale”); provided that, except with respect to (X) the Antero Sale, (Y) an Appalachia Permitted Sale or (Z) a Permitted Transfer,
Harbinger Group Inc. and its Affiliates (excluding the Partnership and its Affiliates unless EXCO agrees otherwise) (collectively, “Harbinger”) shall have a right of first offer with respect to such Appalachia Shallow Rights being
sold in a ROFO Sale as provided below. If EXCO desires to effect a ROFO Sale, then, except with respect to the Antero Sale, an Appalachia Permitted Sale or a Permitted Transfer, EXCO Parent shall provide written notice (a “ROFO
Notice”) thereof to Harbinger, setting forth with reasonable specificity the Appalachia Shallow Rights proposed to be sold. From time to time, EXCO Parent will provide to Harbinger such additional information with respect to such Appalachia
Shallow Rights proposed to be sold or otherwise Transferred as is reasonably requested by Harbinger, unless such additional information is subject to confidentiality restrictions that would prohibit such disclosure or would, based on the advice of
outside counsel to EXCO Parent, reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of attorney-client privilege (“Designated Information”); provided, EXCO Parent shall not enter into confidentiality agreements in anticipation or
connection with such transaction that would restrict such disclosure; and provided, further, to the extent that the sharing of any information reasonably requested by Harbinger is subject to confidentiality or would reasonably be expected to
result in the waiver of attorney-client privilege, EXCO Parent shall make commercially reasonable requests for the waiver or consent, or take other reasonable actions, to permit such disclosure. Upon receipt of a ROFO Notice, Harbinger Group Inc.
(or its designated Affiliate) may, by delivery of written notice (an “Offer”) to EXCO Parent not later than the later of (x) 30 days following Harbinger’s receipt of a ROFO Notice or (y) 10

  
 3 

	 	
days following Harbinger’s receipt of the Designated Information (provided Harbinger has requested such Designated Information within five Business Days after receipt of a ROFO Notice),
offer to acquire such Appalachia Shallow Rights proposed to be so sold or otherwise Transferred, by indicating in such Offer the economic and other material terms (including the allocation of liabilities) on which Harbinger proposes to effect such
acquisition. Upon receipt of an Offer, EXCO may not sell or otherwise Transfer such Appalachia Shallow Rights that are the subject of such ROFO Notice to any Third Party (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) at a price and upon material terms that
are less favorable in the aggregate to EXCO than the price and material terms set forth in the Offer, for the 90-day period following EXCO Parent’s receipt of such Offer. If, following such 90 day period, EXCO again desires to effect a ROFO
Sale, EXCO Parent shall again deliver a ROFO Notice in respect thereof to Harbinger, and the aforementioned provisions shall again apply. 

  

	 	c.	Except as provided for in Sections 2.a. and 2.b. above, EXCO may not contribute or Transfer its Appalachia Shallow Rights to any Person in which EXCO retains a
financial interest, unless such contribution or Transfer is consummated by EXCO Parent or its Affiliates in compliance with Article XI of the GP LLC Agreement. 

 

	 	3.	Permitted Acquisitions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article XI of the GP LLC Agreement, from and after the Closing and until the earlier of either
(i) the acquisition by the Partnership of any Appalachia Shallow Rights or (ii) the sale by EXCO of substantially all of its Appalachia Shallow Rights (in each case, after which time this Section 3 shall no longer have any effect),
EXCO and its Affiliates shall be permitted to acquire Appalachia Shallow Rights, without complying with the provisions of Section 11.1(a) of the GP LLC Agreement, but only if (A) such acquisition is primarily for the purpose of
complementing its existing portfolio of Appalachia Shallow Rights in New York, Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, (B) such Appalachia Shallow Rights are acquired by EXCO solely for its own account, (C) such Appalachia Shallow Rights are
operated by EXCO for its own account (or is operated for EXCO’s account by EXCO Resources (PA), LLC or the oil and gas operator that operated such assets immediately prior to their acquisition by EXCO) and (D) except as provided in the
immediately preceding sub-clause (C) and Section 2(a) and (c) above, EXCO does not provide any Third Party with any equity or equity-linked rights to such Appalachia Shallow Rights. 

 

	 	4.	 Relationship to BG. Any right of first refusal, right of first offer (including a ROFO Sale) or other purported Transfer, or resulting ownership
thereof, of EXCO’s Appalachia Shallow Rights are subject to, and governed by, the terms and conditions of the agreements listed on Annex A hereto as in effect on the date hereof (the “BG Agreements”), which are, by their terms,
applicable to such matters (and subject to any applicable waivers thereof). Notwithstanding 

  
 4 

	 	
anything herein or in Article XI in the GP LLC Agreement to the contrary, EXCO and its Affiliates shall have the right to comply with their existing obligations under the BG Agreements and such
compliance shall not constitute any breach of this letter agreement or the GP LLC Agreement. 

  

	 	5.	Miscellaneous. The EXCO Group shall not take any action that is intended to circumvent the rights of the Harbinger Group Inc. and Investor under this letter
agreement or Article XI of the GP LLC Agreement. Section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not constitute part of this letter agreement. The terms and provisions of Article XIII (Miscellaneous) (other than Sections
14.3 (Tax, Recording Fees, Similar Taxes & Fees), 14.5(b) (Limitations on Specific Performance) and 14.13 (Conspicuous)) of the Purchase Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis. To the extent that the terms
of this letter agreement conflict with any of the terms of the GP LLC Agreement, the terms of this letter agreement shall control. This letter agreement shall be binding upon each of Harbinger Group Inc., Investor and EXCO Parent, EOC, EXCO Holding,
and any successor to, or permitted assign of, the ownership of any Units held by such Person. The Partnership shall be a third party beneficiary of the rights under this letter to the extent not exercised by Harbinger Group Inc. or Investor. In the
event of the termination of the Purchase Agreement, this letter agreement shall also terminate automatically.

by and between Central European Distribution Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Bartosz Kolacinski (the “Officer”). 
 WHEREAS, the Officer is currently a party to an employment agreement (the “Current Agreement”) dated October 27, 2008, as amended on April 1, 2012, with CEDC International Sp.
z.o.o., a subsidiary of the Company (the “Subsidiary”); 
 WHEREAS, the Officer has been appointed as the Interim Chief
Financial Officer of the Company, effective as of the Effective Date; 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth the terms and conditions of
the Officer’s employment with the Company during the Term (as hereinafter defined) of this Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires
to employ the Officer, and the Officer desires to be employed by the Company during the Term on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Employment: Effect on Current Agreement 

 On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to employ the Officer and the Officer agrees to be employed by the Company during the Term set forth in Section 2 hereof
and in the position and with the duties set forth in Section 3 hereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) the provisions of the Current Agreement shall be suspended during the Term, no bonus or other compensation under the Current
Agreement shall be earned during the Term, any bonus or other compensation accrued under the Current Agreement prior to such suspension shall be paid by the Company and, for purposes of the Current Agreement, the Officer shall be treated as on a
leave of absence, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as interrupting any vesting period which may be applicable under the Current Agreement or any benefit plan in which Officer participated prior to the Term, and
(ii) upon termination of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Current Agreement shall once again apply. 
  

	2.	Term.  

 Subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 8 hereof, the term of employment of the Officer by the Company as provided in Section 1 hereof shall commence as of the Effective Date and
continue until the earlier of (a) January 14, 2013 or (b) the 30th day following the date on which a permanent Chief Financial Officer (the “Permanent CFO”) commences employment with the Company (the “Term”). The Term may be extended by
mutual agreement of the parties. 

  
 1 

	3.	Position and Duties. 

 During the Term, the Officer shall serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company; provided that during any period within the Term during which the Permanent CFO is employed as such, the Officer
shall serve as Deputy Chief Financial Officer. The Officer shall devote the Officer’s reasonable best efforts and substantially full business time to the performance of the Officer’s duties and the advancement of the business and affairs
of the Company and its subsidiaries. 
  

	4.	Place of Performance. 

 In connection with the Officer’s employment by the Company, the Officer shall be based at the principal executive office of the Subsidiary in Warsaw, Poland, which the Company retains the right to
change in its discretion, or such other place as the Company and the Officer mutually agree, except for required travel on Company business. 
  

	5.	Compensation. 

  

	 	5(a)	Base Salary. The parties agree and acknowledge that during the Term the Officer shall be paid base salary in the aggregate amount of 50,000 pln gross per month
by the Company and that for one month after expiration of the Term the Officer shall be paid base salary in the aggregate amount of 50,000 pln gross per month by the Company, provided that the Officer shall only receive such base
salary during this additional month if the Officer continues to perform such duties as if operationally he were the Interim Chief Financial Officer during this month and the Officer uses all reasonable efforts to effectively transition his
responsibilities as Interim Chief Financial Officer to his successor during this month (together, the aggregate monthly base salary in effect from time to time, the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be payable weekly or in such
other installments as shall be consistent with the Company’s or the Subsidiary’s payroll practices. Any portion of the Base Salary may be paid by the Subsidiary as determined by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion, but such
determination does not relieve the Company of its obligation to pay the Base Salary. 

  

	 	5(b)	Bonus. At the end of the Term, except as provided in Section 8 below, the Officer shall be entitled to receive a bonus equal to 40,000 pln. Such bonus shall

	 	5(c)	Equity Awards. As of the Effective Date, the Officer shall be granted an equity award of 4,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which award shall vest
in full at the end of the Term (except as provided in Section 8 below), it being understood that such shares shall not vest by virtue of occurrence of a Change in Control resulting from the share issuances contemplated by the Amended Securities
Purchase Agreement dated July 9, 2012 between the Company and Roust Trading, Ltd. 

  

	 	5(d)	Specific Benefits. During the Term, the Officer shall receive the following fringe benefits, subject to the Company’s policies in effect from time to time:

	 	(d)(ii)	Health plan – Medicover card.

	 	5(e)	Vacation Holidays. During the Term, the Officer shall be entitled vacations and holidays as provided in the Current Agreement.

under this Agreement, any applicable taxes or other deductions as the Company or Subsidiary determine must be withheld pursuant to applicable law or payroll policies. 

 

	6.	Expenses. 

 The
Company or the Subsidiary shall reimburse the Officer for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Officer (in accordance with the policies and procedures in effect for senior executives of the Company and the Subsidiary) in connection with the
Officer’s services under this Agreement. The Officer shall account to the Company or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, for such expenses in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Company or the Subsidiary. 

 

	7.	Confidential Information. 

  

	 	7(a)	The Officer covenants and agrees that the Officer will not ever, without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company (the

shall hereafter remain confidential (except for unauthorized disclosures) and except as otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

  

	 	7(b)	The Officer acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Section 7(a) hereof are reasonable and necessary, in view of the nature of the Company’s business,
in order to protect the legitimate interests of the Company, and that any violation thereof would result in irreparable injury to the Company. Therefore, the Officer agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Officer of the
provisions of Section 7(a) hereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief restraining the Officer from disclosing or using any such confidential information.
Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, recovery of damages from the Officer. 

 

	 	7(c)	The Officer shall deliver promptly to the Company on termination of employment, or at any other time the Company may so request, all confidential memoranda, notes,
records, reports and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Company’s and its affiliates’ business which the Officer obtained while employed by, or otherwise serving or acting on behalf of, the Company or which the
