Rentrak and Mortco may, in the exercise of their sole discretion, disclose the
existence of the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement and the
Related Documents and upon the request of Rentrak or Mortco, VCI, Xxxxxxxx and
AIV shall confirm the same. This restriction, however, shall not prevent VCI,
Xxxxxxxx or AIV from disclosing the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
the Related Documents pursuant to Court order. In the event Xxxxxxxx engages in
an initial public offering of its securities, Rentrak and Mortco agree not to
unreasonably withhold their consent with respect to disclosures that are
required under federal and state securities laws, provided that Xxxxxxxx
exercises its best efforts to uphold and abide by its obligations with respect
to confidentiality as provided herein, including but not limited to, seeking
confidential treatment by the SEC with respect to disclosures concerning this
Agreement, the Related Documents, Rentrak or Mortco.

heretofore made or existing by and between the parties or their representatives
with respect thereto.
9.2 WAIVER. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed,

in connection with this Agreement or the Related Documents, or any breach hereof
or thereof, shall be brought and maintained exclusively in the federal or state
courts in Portland, Oregon. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of such suit or action and

action in any such court and any claim that any such suit or action has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. VCI, Xxxxxxxx and AIV hereby irrevocably waive

performance, and the parties each expressly waive the defense that a remedy in
damages will be adequate.
