Your client acknowledges discussing with you Rule 11(f) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and Rule 410 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, which ordinarily limit the admissibility of statements made by a defendant in the course of plea discussions or plea proceedings if a guilty plea is later withdrawn . Your client knowingly and voluntarily hereby waives the rights that arise under these rules, or from the proffer agreement dated December 1, 2017, to object to the Government's use of all statements by him to the government on and after November 3, 2017, in the event your client breaches this Agreement, withdraws his guilty plea, or seeks to withdraw from this Agreement after signing it.

Your client also agrees to waive all constitutional and statutory rights to a speedy sentence and agrees that the plea of guilty pursuant to this Agreement will be entered at a time decided upon by the parties with the concurrence of the Court. Your client understands that the date for sentencing will be set by the Court.

Your client agrees not to accept remuneration or compensation of any sort, directly or indirectly, for the dissemination of information through any means, including but not limited to books, articles, speeches, biogs, podcasts, and interviews, however disseminated, regarding his work for his employer (Law Firm A) as it relates to its work for the Ukraine Ministry of Justice, the events alleged in the Information and Statement of Facts, or the investigation by the Office or prosecution of any criminal or civil cases against him.

In agreeing to this waiver, your client is aware that your client's sentence has yet to be determined by the Court. Realizing the uncertainty in estimating what sentence the Court ultimately will impose, your client knowingly and willingly waives your client's right to appeal the sentence, to the extent noted above, in exchange for the concessions made by the Government in this Agreement.

E. Collateral Attack

Your client also waives any right to challenge the conviction entered or sentence imposed under this Agreement or otherwise attempt to modify or change the sentence or the manner in which it was determined in any collateral attack, including, but not limited to, a motion brought under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 or Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), except to the extent such a motion is based on newly discovered evidence or on a claim that your client received ineffective
