of the Conveyed Entities, Subsidiaries thereof and the ERISA Affiliates,
computed as if a complete withdrawal by the Conveyed Entities, any Subsidiaries
thereof and the ERISA Affiliates had occurred under each such Plan on the date
hereof, would not be significant.

6.7(e), are equal to the amount of the Losses suffered by the indemnified
party. Any payment due pursuant to this Section 6.7(e) shall be made not later
than three (3) days after receipt by the indemnifying party of written notice
from the indemnified party stating that any Losses against which the
indemnified party is entitled to indemnification have been paid and the amount

(iii) For purposes of determining the amount of
Straddle Taxes for or which relate to the pre-Closing or post-Closing portion
of Straddle Period, the Closing Date shall be treated as the last day of a
taxable period, and the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the

the case of Taxes that are either (1) based upon or measured by income or

distribution of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), shall be
deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the period for which such
Tax is assessed ended on and included the Closing Date, and (y) in the cases of
Taxes other than Taxes described in clause (x) hereof, shall be the total
amount of Tax for the full taxable period that includes the Closing Date
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the
pre-Closing portion of the Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the
total number of days in that full taxable period.

(iv) If a notice of deficiency, proposed
adjustment, adjustment, assessment, audit, examination, suit, dispute or other

by any taxing authority, such Shareholder shall promptly notify Republic or the
Republic Subsidiaries in writing of such Tax Claim.

cause the Mergers to qualify, and shall not take any action or cause any action
to be taken which could prevent any Merger from qualifying, as a reorganization
under Section 368(a) of the Code. Following the Closing, none of Republic, any
Surviving Corporation nor any of their Affiliates shall knowingly take any
action or knowingly cause

-62-
70

any action to be taken which could reasonably be expected to cause any Merger
to fail to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

Subsidiary thereof, on the other hand, to be terminated in all respects such
that there shall be no liability thereunder on the part of any Conveyed Entity

(A) engage in, anywhere in the world, the daily general use automobile rental
business or (B) directly or indirectly invest in, manage, operate, join or
control as a partner, stockholder, consultant or otherwise, any Person that
engages in any type of automobile rental business (including, without
limitation, the general use, Local Business and Replacement Business),

interest in or invest in securities of any Person whose business, at the time
of such acquisition or investment, derives less than 5% of its revenues from
the daily general use automobile rental business; (ii) the Shareholders to

consultation agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.12 are
reasonable and proper. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the
provisions of this Section 6.12 shall be enforced to the fullest extent
permissible under applicable Law. If all or part of this Section 6.12 is held
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy,
all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in
full force and effect. If any part of this Section 6.12 is finally determined
in a proceeding by a Governmental Authority to be excessively broad as to
duration, scope, activity or subject, such part will be construed by limiting
and reducing it so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with
applicable Law.

press release or similar public announcement or communication shall, if prior
to the Closing, be made or caused to be made concerning the execution or
performance of this Agreement without each party's prior written consent (which
consent may be granted or withheld at any party's sole discretion); provided
however that any press release or similar public announcement or communication
as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Laws shall
not require any party's consent but shall only be made after (a) the disclosing
party consults with legal counsel regarding such press release or similar
public announcement or communication and (b) the Shareholders and Republic
consult in advance, and cooperate, with respect to the content and substance of
any required press release or similar public announcement or communication.

thereof to give to each Affected Employee the same service credit with
Republic, the Republic Subsidiaries and the Conveyed Entities and the
Subsidiaries thereof as each such Affected Employee previously earned up to the
Closing Date for purposes of determining the Affected Employee's eligibility to
participate in, vesting under, benefit accrual under, eligibility for early
distribution of benefits from and eligibility for early retirement or any other
subsidized benefit provided for in any employee benefit plan, practice or
policy established, maintained or contributed to by Republic, the Republic

participate and shall, where appropriate, cause each Republic Subsidiary's Plan
to reflect the foregoing requirement.

(c) For a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date,
the Affected Employees will be provided such pension and other employee
benefits, which are identical to, or no less favorable in the aggregate than,
such benefits provided to them by the Conveyed Entities and the Subsidiaries
thereof immediately prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of computing
deductible amounts (or like adjustments or limitations on coverage) under
Republic's or any Republic Subsidiary's Plan which is an "employee welfare
benefit plan," as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA (a "Successor Welfare Plan")

to pay or cause the Conveyed Entities and the Subsidiaries thereof to pay (i)
all accrued bonuses payable by the Conveyed Entities and the Subsidiaries
thereof under all employment, severance, consulting or other agreements with

Section 6.15 [Intentionally Deleted].

Section 6.16 Insurance. From and after the Closing Date until the
fifth anniversary thereof, Republic and the Republic Subsidiaries hereby agree
to maintain, in full force and effect, the directors'

-65-
73

and officers' insurance policies of the Conveyed Entities set forth on Schedule
6.16, or procure and maintain, in full force and effect, replacement insurance
policies which are no less favorable than the insurance policies on said
Schedule. From and after the Closing Date until the fifth anniversary thereof,
Republic and the Republic Subsidiaries further agree to maintain, in full force
and effect, and/or procure and maintain, in full force and effect, customary
liability insurance policies for the Conveyed Entities and their Subsidiaries
which (a) name the Shareholders as additional insureds and (b) cover all
periods prior to the Closing Date.

Section 6.17 Distribution of Earnings. (a) Republic and the
Republic Subsidiaries hereby acknowledge that, prior to the Closing Date, the
Conveyed Entities declared and paid to the Shareholders dividends and/or
distributions (the "Tax Dividends") to be used by the Shareholders exclusively
to satisfy their respective Tax liabilities attributable to their status as
shareholders or partners of the Conveyed Entities for the period beginning
January 1, 1996 and ending on the Closing Date (the "1996 Pre-Closing Period").
To the extent the Income Taxes for the 1996 Pre- Closing Period, as estimated
by the Shareholders and provided in writing to Republic one (1) day prior to
the Closing Date, exceed the Tax Dividends paid (such excess, the "Estimated
Excess Tax Amount"), Republic shall issue to the Shareholders, on the Closing
Date, that number of shares (the "Tax Shares") of Republic Common Stock having
a value (based on the per share price of Republic Common Stock utilized to
determine the Aggregate Consideration) equal to the Estimated Excess Tax
Amount; provided that the value (based on the per share price of Republic
Common Stock utilized to determine the Aggregate Consideration) of the Tax
Shares shall not exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate.

(b) Republic shall cause the Conveyed Entities to provide
to the Shareholders, on or before February 15, 1997, all information necessary
to calculate the Income Taxes payable by the Shareholders which are
attributable to their status as shareholders or partners of the Conveyed
Entities for the 1996 Pre-Closing Period (the "1996 Income Taxes"). No later
than April 1, 1997, the Shareholders shall provide to Republic's "Big 6"
accountants a copy of page 2 of each Shareholder's 1996 Federal Income Tax
Return, Form 1040 (the "Tax Disclosure") showing the total amount of 1996
Income Taxes (and the calculation thereof and related supporting schedules),
which tax return shall be prepared by a "Big 6" accounting firm chosen by each
Shareholder (the "Return Preparer(s)"). Republic and the Shareholders hereby
agree that a "Big 6" accounting firm chosen by Republic shall have the right to
consult with the Return Preparer(s) between February 15, 1997 and April 1, 1997
in respect of the Shareholders' respective 1996 Federal Income Tax Returns,
Form 1040, and the calculation of the Taxes shown to be due thereon, and the
Shareholders shall direct the Return Preparer(s) to so consult with such "Big
6" accounting firm. The 1996 Income Taxes of the Shareholders, based on the
Tax Disclosure, shall be conclusive and binding on Republic and the
Shareholders absent mathematical errors. The excess of (i) the 1996 Income
Taxes, based on the Tax Disclosure, over (ii) the Tax Dividends is hereinafter
referred to as the "Excess Tax Amount." If the Excess Tax Amount is less than
the Estimated Excess Tax Amount, the Shareholders will return to Republic
(within five (5) days of such determination) that number of Tax Shares having a
value (based on the per share price of Republic Common Stock utilized to
determine the Aggregate Consideration) equal to such difference. In no event
shall the Shareholders be required, for purposes

-66-
74

of this Section 6.17(b), to return to Republic more than the number of Tax
Shares issued by Republic to the Shareholders. If the Excess Tax Amount is
greater than the Estimated Excess Tax Amount, Republic will not be required to
issue additional shares of Republic Common Stock to the Shareholders.

(c) If the Tax Dividends exceed the 1996 Income Taxes,
based on the Tax Disclosure, the Shareholders shall pay, in cash, any such
excess amount to the entity from which such Tax Dividends were made.

(d) The Shareholders represent and warrant that the
Estimated Excess Tax Amount will be recorded as an accrued dividend payable in
the financial statements of the Conveyed Entities one (1) day prior to the
Closing Date and such accrued dividend payable is a valid and legal liability
of the Conveyed Entities.

(e) For purposes of this Section 6.17, the term "Income
Taxes" shall mean any federal, state, local or foreign tax based on or measured
by net income.

(e) For purposes of making the calculation of Excess Tax
Amount:

(i) Federal income taxes shall be computed as the
difference between (x) the Shareholders' federal income tax liability from
their respective 1996 federal income tax returns, including all items of
income, deduction and credit from the Conveyed Entities and (y) the
Shareholders' federal income tax liability from their respective 1996 federal
income tax returns, excluding all items of income, deduction and credit from
the Conveyed Entities; and

(ii) State and local income taxes (reduced by the
corresponding federal income tax benefit to the Shareholders) shall be computed
as the difference between (x) the Shareholders' state and local income tax
liability from their respective state or local income tax returns, including
all items of income, deduction and credit from the Conveyed Entities and (y)
the Shareholders' state and local tax liability from their respective state or
local income tax returns, excluding all items of income, deductions and credits
from the Conveyed Entities.

Section 6.18 Pooling Accounting. Each of the parties hereto
shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the business combination to be
effected by the Transactions to be accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable efforts to cause its
Affiliates not to take any action that would adversely affect the ability of
Republic and the Republic Subsidiaries to account for the business combination
to be effected by the Transactions as a pooling of interests.

Section 6.19 Sale of Republic Common Stock. From and after the
Closing Date, Republic shall cooperate with the Shareholders to effect the sale
of the Republic Common Stock as the Shareholders may reasonably request
(including, without limitation, making its officers available to discuss the
business of Republic to potential purchasers of the Republic Common Stock and
preparing any supplements or amendments to the Registration Statement) and
Republic will execute and deliver,

-67-
75

or arrange for the execution and delivery of, such documents as may reasonably
be requested by the Shareholders related to the sale of the Republic Common
Stock.

Section 6.20 Certified. Republic agrees to cause the Conveyed
Entities and their respective Subsidiaries to continue to provide data, public
relations, human resources and marketing services to Certified Tours, Inc.,
Dancing Bear Group, Inc. and New River Technologies, Inc. on the same terms and
conditions contained in the agreements in effect as of the date hereof between
such Persons and one or more of the Conveyed Entities and the Subsidiaries
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any agreement
between any one or more of the Conveyed Entities, Certified Tours, Inc.,
Dancing Bear Group, Inc. and New River Technologies, Inc. (or any affiliate of
Certified Tours, Inc., Dancing Bear Group, Inc. or New River Technologies,
Inc.), any party thereto shall have the right to terminate such agreement at
any time without cost or penalty; provided however, that, the parties agree to
cooperate with one another and to provide reasonable assistance to one another
for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed in the case of data processing
services two (2) years, and in the case of any services other than data
processing services one (1) year, in either case, following receipt of a notice
of termination, to enable each party to arrange for satisfactory replacement of
such services.

amendments to covenants, on terms reasonably acceptable to Republic and the
Republic Subsidiaries, from the holders of such Indebtedness or of Indebtedness
of any third party guaranteed by any of the Conveyed Entities ("Guaranties")
and from the issuers of any letters of credit issued for the benefit of any of
the Conveyed Entities ("LOCs") sufficient to

-69-
77

permit the Closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
without resulting (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) in any
material increase in interest rate, material modification or default under such
Indebtedness, Guaranties or any obligation related to the LOCs or in any
ability of the holders of such Indebtedness (or trustees or agents) to
accelerate the time for payment thereof; provided however that the refinancing
of the 11 3/4% Notes due 2006 in the original principal amount of $100,000,000
(the "Senior Notes") shall not be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to
effect the Closing if (i) the Closing would not cause an event of default under
the Senior Notes and (ii) the holders of the Senior Notes would not have the
right to put their Senior Notes to certain of the Conveyed Entities for more
than 101% of the face thereof.

(i) Accountant's Letter With Respect to Pooling of
Interest Accounting Treatment. Republic shall have received from KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants for the Conveyed
Entities, a letter dated the Effective Time, in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Republic, confirming that, to their knowledge after due and
diligent inquiry of management, there have been no transactions or events with
respect to the Conveyed Entities which would, and the ownership structure and
attributes of the Conveyed Entities and the Shareholders would not, proscribe
the transactions contemplated hereby, if consummated, from being considered as
pooling of interests business combinations. Republic shall have received from
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, a letter dated the Effective Time, confirming that the
transactions contemplated hereby, if consummated, can properly be accounted for
as pooling of interests business combinations in accordance with GAAP and the
criteria of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 and the regulations of
the SEC.

Section 7.3 Conditions to the Obligations of the Shareholders.
The obligation of the Shareholders to effect the Closing is subject to the
satisfaction (or waiver by the Shareholders) prior to the Closing, of the
following conditions:

(a) Representations and Warranties. The representations
and warranties of Republic and the Republic Subsidiaries contained herein shall
have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall be true
and correct in all material respects as of the Closing, as if made as of the
Closing (except that representations and warranties that are expressly made as
of a specific date need be true in all material respects only as of such date).

(b) Covenants. Republic and the Republic Subsidiaries
shall have performed in all material respects the covenants and obligations
required to be performed by them on or prior to the Closing.

Republic Subsidiaries, from the holders of such Indebtedness sufficient to
permit the Closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
without resulting (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) in any
material increase in interest rate, material modification or default under such
Indebtedness or in any ability of the holders of such Indebtedness (or trustees
or agents) to accelerate the time for payment thereof.

ARTICLE XXII.

SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Survival. None of the representations and warranties
of Republic, the Republic Subsidiaries, the Conveyed Entities or the
Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date except
that (a) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.3 and 5.9
shall have no expiration date and (b) the representations and warranties
contained in Sections 4.16(c) and 5.11 shall terminate on the first anniversary
of the Closing Date. The covenants and agreements of the parties set forth in
this Agreement and the related indemnification obligations of the parties
hereunder to be performed or complied with after the Closing shall survive
indefinitely except as expressly provided herein. In the event written notice
of any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 hereof shall have been given
(within the meaning of Section 10.1) within the applicable survival period, the
representations and warranties that are the subject of such indemnification
claim shall survive until such time as such claim is finally resolved.

Section 8.2 Indemnification by the Shareholders. The
Shareholders hereby agree that, from and after the Closing and until the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, they shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless, Republic, the Republic Subsidiaries, their respective Affiliates
(including, after the Closing, the Conveyed Entities and their Subsidiaries)
and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, shareholders,
partners, attorneys, accountants, agents and employees and their heirs,
successors and assigns (the "Republic Subsidiary's Indemnified Parties") from,
against and in respect of any actual damages, fines, judgments, claims, losses,
charges, actions, suits, proceedings, deficiencies, interest, penalties, and
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'

-71-
79

and consultants' fees), and in each such case, net of any insurance proceeds
payable to or for the benefit of the Person suffering such damages, fines,
judgments, claims, losses, charges, actions, suits, proceedings, interest,
penalties and/or costs and expenses, as the case may be (collectively, the
"Losses"), imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against
the Republic Subsidiary's Indemnified Parties relating to or arising out of any
breach of any representation or warranty of the Shareholders contained in
Section 4.3 or Section 4.16(c).

Section 8.3 Indemnification by Republic and the Republic
Subsidiaries.

(a) In addition to the indemnification obligations set
forth in Section 6.7(e), Republic and each Republic Subsidiary hereby agrees
that, from and after the Closing and until the first anniversary thereof, it
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholders, their Affiliates
and, if applicable, their respective directors, officers, shareholders,
partners, attorneys, accountants, agents and employees and their heirs,
successors and assigns (the "the Shareholders' Indemnified Parties") from,
against and in respect of any Losses imposed on, sustained, expended, incurred
or suffered by or asserted against any of the Shareholders' Indemnified Parties
relating to or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty
made by Republic and/or the Republic Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement
and (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of Republic and/or the
Republic Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement.

(b) Republic and each Republic Subsidiary hereby further
agrees that it shall from and after the Closing indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Shareholders' Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of
any Environmental Costs sustained, incurred or suffered by or asserted against
any of the Shareholders' Indemnified Parties: (i) relating to or arising out of
any Environmental Liability, whether resulting from pre-Closing acts or
omissions or post-Closing acts or omissions of the Conveyed Entities and their
Subsidiaries or Republic, the Republic Subsidiaries and their Affiliates or
conditions existing before or after the Closing Date, and (ii) by virtue of the
Shareholders' Indemnified Parties status or former status as a general partner
of DKBERT Assoc. Republic's and the Republic Subsidiaries' obligation to
indemnify the Shareholders' Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 8.3(b)
shall not be limited as to time.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures. With respect to third
party claims, other than those relating to Taxes (which are the subject of
Section 6.7(e)), all claims for indemnification by the Shareholders'
Indemnified Parties and the Republic Subsidiary's Indemnified Partners (each,
an "Indemnified Party" and, collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") hereunder
shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 8.4. In the event
that any claim or demand by any third party for which a party or parties to
this Agreement (the "Indemnifying Party) may be liable to the Indemnified Party
hereunder (a "Claim") is asserted against or sought to be collected from the
Indemnified Party by such third party, such Indemnified Party shall as promptly
as practicable notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Claim and the
amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which
estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Claim) (the "Claim
Notice"). The failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to give any such
Claim Notice in a reasonably prompt manner shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of any indemnification obligation

-72-
80

hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is
materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty days
from delivery of the Claim Notice (the "Notice Period") to notify the
Indemnified Party whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party
against such Claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall, at its sole cost
and expense, have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by appropriate
proceedings and by counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and
shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense; provided that any
Indemnified Party may participate in any such defense at its sole cost and
expense. The Indemnified Party shall not settle a Claim for which it is
indemnified by the Indemnifying Party without the written consent of the
Indemnifying Party unless the Indemnifying Party does not defend the
Indemnified Party against such Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to defend, settle or compromise any
Claim with respect to which it has agreed in writing to waive its right to
indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Indemnified Party, during the period the Shareholders are determining whether
to elect to assume the defense of a matter covered by this Section 8.4, may
take such reasonable actions as it deems necessary to preserve any and all
rights with respect to the matter, without such actions being construed as a
waiver of the Indemnified Party's rights to defense and indemnification
pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE XXIII.

time prior to the Closing:

(a) by mutual written agreement of Republic, the Republic
Subsidiaries and the Shareholders;

(b) by the Shareholders, by giving written notice of such

have occurred on or prior to December 20, 1996, because of an action, inaction
or material delay by Republic or any Republic Subsidiary (unless the failure to
consummate the Closing by such date shall be due to or have resulted from any
material breach of the representations or warranties made by, or the failure to
have fulfilled in all material respects the covenants or obligations of, the
Shareholders hereunder);

(c) by Republic and/or the Republic Subsidiaries, by
giving written notice of such termination to the Shareholders, if the Closing

81

(d) by Republic or the Republic Subsidiaries or by the
Shareholders, by giving written notice of termination to the other party

or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the
part of the other party, which breach is not cured within thirty days following
written notice given by the terminating party to the party committing such
breach, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing;

(e) by either Republic or the Republic Subsidiaries or by
the Shareholders, by written notice of termination to the other party if any

defined in Section 10.8(b)), Republic becomes aware of a circumstance or
condition that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 9.1 hereof, subject to Section 9.2(b), this Agreement
shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no party hereto shall have

directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the parties
hereto contained in this Section 9.2 and in Sections 10.1, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.9
hereof, and except that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability

accountants and other representatives based thereon or otherwise in respect of
the transactions contemplated hereby) of the Shareholders, the Conveyed
Entities or any Subsidiaries thereof relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, whether obtained before or after the execution hereof;

(ii) all information received by Republic and/or
the Republic Subsidiaries with respect to the business of the Conveyed Entities
or any Subsidiaries thereof (other than information which is a matter of public
knowledge or which has heretofore been or is hereafter

-74-
82

published in any publication for public distribution) shall not at any time be
used for the advantage of Republic and/or the Republic Subsidiaries or to the
detriment of the Person furnishing such information; and Republic and/or the
Republic Subsidiary will use their best efforts to prevent the disclosure
thereof to third persons without the prior written consent of the Shareholders
(which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the
Shareholders); and

(iii) all filings, applications and other
submissions made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall, to the extent
practicable, be withdrawn from the agency or other person or entity to which

reasonable opportunity to cure (not to exceed thirty (30) days), then the
parties hereby agree that (x) the damages that the Shareholders shall be
entitled to receive from Republic and the Republic Subsidiaries by reason of
such termination shall in no event exceed $25,000,000, in the aggregate, and
(y) such damages may be paid in cash or, at Republic's election, by the
delivery of that number of shares of Republic Common Stock determined by
dividing the amount of such damages (not to exceed $25,000,000 in any event) by
the per share value of a share of Republic Common Stock which was used by the
parties in calculating the aggregate number of shares referenced in Section
2.23 (which common stock shall be subject to the terms and conditions of that
certain Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "A") or (ii)
by Republic or any Republic Subsidiary in accordance with Section 9.1(d) for

Subsidiary shall be entitled to receive from the Shareholders by reason of such
termination shall in no event exceed $25,000,000, in the aggregate, and (y)
such damages shall be paid in cash.

Section 10.8 Schedules.

(a) The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule to this
Agreement, as may be amended or supplemented prior to the Closing, shall be
deemed to be a disclosure for all purposes of this Agreement to which such
matter could reasonably be expected to be pertinent, but shall expressly not be
deemed to constitute an admission by the Shareholders, Republic or the Republic
Subsidiaries, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the
purposes of this Agreement.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as of
the date hereof, the Schedules to this Agreement are preliminary in nature and,
therefore, may be inaccurate in certain respects. The parties hereto further
acknowledge and agree that (i) the Shareholders and the Conveyed Entities shall

or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter

in Section 9.2(c), the parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of
this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or
otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law
would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties
shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to
