shall take or shall cause to be taken all actions necessary to cause the
transfer, assignment, delivery and conveyance to ARAC of all of Holdings' and
its subsidiaries' rights, title and interest in the assets listed below
(collectively, the "ARAC Transferred Assets"):
(i) the shares of common stock and preferred stock, if any, of the Direct
Car Rental Subsidiaries owned by Holdings as set forth on Schedule 1
hereto; and
(ii) all books, records and files of, or relating exclusively to, the Car
Rental Business; provided, however, that Holdings shall retain access to
such books, records and files to the extent required to carry out its
obligations under the Master License Agreement.
(b) Prior to the Separation Date, ARAC shall take or shall cause to be
taken all actions necessary to cause the transfer, assignment and conveyance to
Holdings or its subsidiaries or affiliates of all of ARAC's and its
subsidiaries, rights, title and interest in the assets listed below
(collectively, the "Holdings Transferred Assets"):
(i) the System;
(ii) the Franchise Agreements identified on Schedule 2 hereto;
(iii) the WizCom Transferred Assets; and
(iv) all books, records and files of, or relating to, the System, the
Franchise Agreements identified on Schedule 2 hereto and the WizCom Transferred
Assets; provided, however, that ARAC shall retain access to such books, records
and files to the extent required to carry out its obligations under the Master
License Agreement.
Section 2 Assignment and Assumption of Liabilities. Except as set forth
in one or more of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Separation Date,
(i) ARAC shall, and/or shall cause its subsidiaries to, assume, pay, perform and
discharge in due course all of the ARAC Liabilities, and (ii) Holdings shall,
and/or shall cause its subsidiaries to, assume, pay, perform and discharge in
due course all of the Holdings Liabilities.
Section 3 Transfers Not Effected Prior to the Separation Date. To the
extent any transfers contemplated by this Article II shall not have been fully
effected prior to the Separation Date, Holdings and ARAC shall cooperate to
effect such transfers as promptly as possible following the Separation Date.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the transfer of any assets or the
assumption of any Liabilities that by their terms or by operation of law cannot
be transferred or assumed; provided, however, that Holdings and ARAC and their
respective subsidiaries and Affiliates shall cooperate in seeking to obtain any
necessary consents or approvals for the transfer of all assets and Liabilities
as contemplated by this Article II. In the event that any such transfer of
assets or Liabilities has not been consummated effective as of the Separation
Date, the party retaining such asset or Liability shall thereafter hold such
assets in trust for the use and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at the
expense of the party entitled thereto) and retain such Liability for the account
of the party to whom such Liability is to be assumed pursuant hereto, and take
such other actions as may be reasonably required in order to place the parties,
insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as would have existed had
such asset been transferred, or such Liability been assumed as contemplated
hereby. As and when any such asset or Liability becomes transferable, such
transfer and assumption shall be effected forthwith. Holdings and ARAC agree
that, as of the Separation Date, each party hereto shall be deemed to have
acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the assets, together
with all of the rights, powers and privileges incidental thereto, that such
party is entitled to acquire pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 4 No Representations or Warranties; Consents. Each of the parties
hereto understands and agrees that no party hereto is, in this Agreement or in
any other agreement or document contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise,
representing or warranting in any way as to the value or freedom from
encumbrance of, or any other matter concerning, any assets of such party, or as
to the legal sufficiency to convey title to an asset transferred pursuant to
this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, including, without limitation, any
conveyancing or assumption instruments. It is also agreed and understood that
there are no warranties whatsoever, express or implied, given by either party to
this Agreement, as to the condition, quality, merchantability or fitness of any
of the assets, businesses or other rights transferred or retained by the
parties, as the case may be, and all such assets, businesses and other rights
shall be "as is, where is" and "with all faults" (provided that the absence of
warranties given by the parties shall not negate the allocation of Liabilities
under this Agreement and shall have no effect on any manufacturers, sellers, or
other third party warranties that are intended to be transferred with such
assets). Similarly, each party hereto understands and agrees that no party
hereto is, in this Agreement or in any other agreement or document contemplated
by this Agreement or otherwise, representing or warranting in any way that the
obtaining of any consents or approvals, the execution and delivery of any
amendatory agreements and the taking of any filings or applications contemplated
by this Agreement will satisfy the provisions of any or all applicable laws or
judgments or other instruments or agreements relating to such assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall use their good faith
efforts to obtain all consents and approvals, to enter into all reasonable
amendatory agreements and to make all filings and applications contemplated by
this Agreement, and shall take all such further actions as shall be deemed
reasonably necessary to preserve for each of Holdings and ARAC, to the greatest
extent reasonably feasible, consistent with this Agreement, the economic and
operational benefits of the allocation of assets provided for in this Agreement.
In case at any time after the Separation Date any further action is necessary or
desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and
directors of each party to this Agreement shall take all such necessary or
desirable action, provided that any financial cost shall be borne by the party
receiving the benefit of the action.
Section 5 Conveyancing and Stock Assumption Instruments. In connection
with the asset and stock transfers and the assumptions of Liabilities
contemplated by this Agreement, the parties shall execute, or cause to be
executed by the appropriate entities, conveyancing and assumption instruments,
including appropriate releases and novations, in such forms as the parties shall
reasonably agree, including deeds as may be appropriate, the assignment of
trademarks and franchise rights, and the assignment and assumption of existing
lease agreements. Any transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means of
delivery of stock certificates and executed stock powers and notation on the
stock record books of the corporations, or other legal entities involved and, to
the extent required by applicable law, by notation on public registries.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1 ARAC Indemnification of Holdings. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in any of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Separation Date,
ARAC and its subsidiaries (the "ARAC Indemnitors") shall jointly and severally
indemnify, defend and hold harmless HFS, Holdings and their respective
subsidiaries, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents and Affiliates and each of the heirs, executors, successors and assigns
of any of the foregoing (the "Holdings Indemnitees") from and against any and
all damage, loss, liability and expense (including, without limitation,
reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
in connection with any or all such investigations or any and all Actions or
threatened Actions) (collectively, "Losses") incurred or suffered by any of the
Holdings Indemnitees and arising out of or related to the ARAC Liabilities.
Losses shall include but not be limited to: (i) all amounts required to be
reimbursed to an insurer for insurance proceeds previously paid by such insurer
as a result of a Loss; (ii) all deductible amounts required to be paid under any
insurance policybefore coverage attaches for a Loss; (iii) all amounts paid to
third parties in excess of insurance coverage; (iv) all other amounts not paid

shall not include expenditures made prior to the Separation.
Section 2 Holdings Indemnification of ARAC. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in any of the Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Separation Date,
Holdings and its subsidiaries (the "Holdings Indemnitors") shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless ARAC and its subsidiaries, and each of their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates and each of the heirs,
executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the "ARAC
Indemnitees") from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any of
the ARAC Indemnitees and arising out of or related to the Holdings Liabilities.
Section 3 Notice and Payment of Claims. If any Holdings Indemnitee or
ARAC Indemnitee (the "Indemnified Party") determines that it is or may be
entitled to indemnification by the ARAC Indemnitors or the Holdings Indemnitors,
as the case may be (the "Indemnifying Party"), under this Article IV (other than
in connection with any Action subject to Section 4.4), the Indemnified Party
shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice specifying, to the
extent reasonably practicable, the basis for its claim for indemnification and
the amount for which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes it is entitled to
be indemnified. After the Indemnifying Party shall have been notified of the
amount for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification, the Indemnifying
Party shall, within 30 days after receipt of such notice, either (i) pay the
Indemnified Party such amount in cash or other immediately available funds (or
reach agreement with the Indemnified Party as to a mutually agreeable
alternative payment schedule) or (ii) object to the claim for indemnification or
the amount thereof by giving the Indemnified Party written notice setting forth
the grounds therefor. Any objection shall be resolved in accordance with Section
7.13. If the Indemnifying Party does not give such notice within such 30-day
period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged its
liability for such claim and the Indemnified Party may exercise any and all of
its rights under applicable law to collect such amount.
Section 4 Notice and Defense of Third-Party Claims. Promptly following
the earlier of (A) receipt of written notice of the commencement by a third
party of any Action against or otherwise involving any Indemnified Party or (B)
receipt of written information from a third party alleging the existence of a
claim against an Indemnified Party, in either case, with respect to which
indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Agreement (a "Third-Party
Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written
notice thereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided
in this Section 4.4 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
under this agreement, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is
prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall describe the
Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount of the Loss
that has been or will be sustained by the Indemnified Party.
(a) Within 30 days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party may
by giving written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, (i) acknowledge
liability for and at its option elect to assume the defense of such Third-Party
Claim at its sole cost and expense or (ii) object to the claim of
indemnification for such Third-Party Claim setting forth the grounds therefor.
Any objection shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.13. If the
Indemnifying Party does not within such 30-day period give the Indemnified Party
such notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be claimed to have acknowledged its
liability for such Third-Party Claim.
(b) Any defense of a Third-Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party
has elected to assume the defense shall be conducted by attorneys employed by
the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to Holdings in the case of
Holdings Indemnitees and ARAC in the case of ARAC Indemnitees. The Indemnified
Party shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and to be
represented by attorneys of its own choosing at the Indemnified Party's sole
cost and expense; provided that if the defendants or parties against which
relief is sought in any such claim include both the Indemnifying Party and one
or more Indemnified Parties and, in the reasonable judgment of Holdings in the
case of Holdings Indemnitees and ARAC in the case of ARAC Indemnitees, a
conflict of interest between such Indemnified Parties and such Indemnifying
Party exists in respect of such claim, such Indemnified Parties shall have the
right to employ one firm of counsel selected by Holdings for Holdings
Indemnities or ARAC for ARAC Indemnities and in that event the reasonable fees
and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than one separate counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid by such
Indemnifying Party.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim,
the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise the claim without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided that without the prior
written consent of Holdings in the case of Holdings Indemnitees and ARAC in the
case of ARAC Indemnitees, the Indemnifying Party may not agree to any such
settlement unless as a condition to such settlement the Indemnified Party
receives a written release from any and all liability relating to such
Third-Party Claim and such settlement or compromise does not include any remedy
or relief to be applied to or against the Indemnified Party, other than monetary
damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible hereunder.
(d) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party
Claim for which it has acknowledged liability for indemnification under this
Article IV, Holdings in the case of Holdings Indemnitees and ARAC in the case of
ARAC Indemnitees may pursue the defense of such Third-Party Claim and choose one
firm of counsel in connection therewith. The Indemnifying Party is required to
reimburse Holdings or ARAC, as the case may be, on a current basis for its
reasonable expenses of investigation, reasonable attorney's fees and reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Holdings in the case of Holdings Indemnitees
and ARAC in the case of ARAC Indemnitees in defending against such Third-Party
Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the result obtained with
respect thereto, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for
any settlement effected without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(e) The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party in cash the
amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified (if any) no
later than the later of (i) the date on which the Indemnified Party makes any
payment in satisfaction (partial or otherwise) of the Third-Party Claim or (ii)
the date on which such Indemnifying Party's objection, if any, to its
responsibility for indemnification under this Article IV has been resolved
pursuant to section 7.13 or by settlement or compromise or the final
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 5 Insurance Proceeds. The amount that any Indemnifying Party is
or may be required to pay to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article IV
shall be reduced (including, without limitation, retroactively) by any insurance
proceeds or other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such Indemnified
Parties in reduction of the related Loss. If an Indemnified Party shall have
received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in
respect of a Loss and shall subsequently actually receive insurance proceeds, or
other amounts in respect of such Loss as specified above, then such Indemnified
Party shall pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such
insurance proceeds or other amounts actually received after deducting therefrom
all of the Indemnifying Party's costs and expenses associated with such Loss.
Section 6 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this
Article IV is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Loss arising
out of or related to information contained in or omitted from the Form S-1, then
the ARAC Indemnitees, in lieu of indemnifying the Holdings Indemnitees, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Holdings Indemnitees as a result
of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of ARAC, on the one hand, and Holdings, on the other hand, in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such Loss. The relative fault of
the ARAC Indemnitees on the one hand and of the Holdings Indemnitees on the
other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information concerning ARAC on the
one hand or Holdings on the other hand.
Section 7 Subrogation. In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party
to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such
Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the first place of
such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which
such Indemnified Party may have any right or claim relating to such Third-Party
Claim. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a
reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in
prosecuting any subrogated right or claim.
Section 8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Article IV shall inure to
the benefit of, and be enforceable by Holdings, the Holdings Indemnitees, ARAC
and the ARAC Indemnitees and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
The indemnification provided for by this Article IV shall not inure to the
benefit of any other third party or parties and shall not relieve any insurer
who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim of the responsibility with
respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof,
provide any subrogation rights with respect thereto and each party agrees to
waive such rights against the other to the fullest extent permitted.
Section 9 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV
shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of
any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against an
Indemnifying Party. The procedures set forth in this Article IV, however, shall
be the exclusive procedures governing any indemnity action brought under this
Article IV or otherwise relating to Losses.
Section 10 Survival of Indemnities. The obligations of each of Holdings
and ARAC under this Article IV shall survive the sale or other transfer by it of
any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities, with
respect to any Loss of the other related to such assets, businesses or
Liabilities.
Section 11 After-Tax Indemnification Payments. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein or in an Ancillary Agreement, indemnification payments
made by either party under this Article shall give effect to, and be reduced by
the value of, any and all applicable deductions, losses, credits, offsets or
other items for Federal, state or other tax purposes attributable to the payment
of the indemnified liability by the Indemnified Party.
ARTICLE V
CERTAIN ADDITIONAL MATTERS
Section 1 Intercompany Payables/Receivables. All intercompany amounts
payable or receivable by Holdings or ARAC shall be settled on or before the
Separation Date, other than amounts payable or receivable pursuant to the
Ancillary Agreements.

execute and deliver the Ancillary Agreements.
Section 3 ARAC Officers and Board of Directors. On or prior to the
Separation Date, Holdings shall take and shall cause ARAC to take all actions
necessary to appoint as officers and directors of ARAC those persons named in
the Form S-1 to constitute the officers and directors of ARAC on the Separation
Date.
Section 4 ARAC Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. Prior to the

substantially in the form attached to the Form S-1 as exhibits thereto.

(b) Prior to the Separation Date, Holdings and ARAC shall take all
necessary action to obtain the Fleet Financing Program and the New Credit

(c) Prior to the Separation Date, ARAC and its subsidiaries shall take
all necessary action to release Holdings from any liabilities, Guarantees, or

Section 6 Insurance Policies and Claims Administration.
(a) Maintenance of Insurance Coverage Prior to Separation Date. Holdings
and ARAC shall use reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect at
all times up to and including the Separation Date its current property and
casualty insurance programs, including, without limitation, primary and excess
general liability, automobile, workers' compensation, property and crime
insurance policies (collectively, the "Policies" and individually, a "Policy").
Holdings and its subsidiaries shall retain with respect to any Covered Claims as
set forth on Schedule 5.6(a) relating to periods prior to the Separation Date
all of their respective rights, benefits and privileges, if any, under such
Policies. To the extent not already provided for by the terms of a Policy,
Holdings shall use reasonable efforts to cause ARAC and its subsidiaries, as
appropriate, to be named as additional insureds under such Policy in respect of
Covered Claims arising or relating to periods prior to the Separation Date;
provided, however, that nothing contain herein shall be construed to require
Holdings or any of its subsidiaries to pay any additional premium or other
charges in respect to, or waive or otherwise limit any of its rights, benefits
or privileges under, any such Policy to effect the naming of ARAC and its
subsidiaries as such additional insureds.
(b) ARAC Responsible for Establishing Insurance Coverage On and After
Separation Date. Commencing on and as of the Separation Date, ARAC and each of
its subsidiaries shall be responsible for establishing and maintaining its own
separate insurance programs (including, without limitation, primary and excess
general liability, automobile, workers, compensation, property, director and
officer liability, fire, crime, surety and other similar insurance policies) for
activities and claims relating to any period on or after the Separation Date
involving ARAC or any of its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any other agreement
or understanding to the contrary, except as set forth in Section 5.6(c) with
respect to claims administration and financial administration of the Policies,
neither Holdings nor any of its subsidiaries shall have any responsibility for
or obligation to ARAC or its subsidiaries relating to liability and casualty
insurance matters for any period, whether prior to, at or after the Separation
Date.
(c) Administration and Procedure. (i) ARAC or a subsidiary of ARAC, as
appropriate, shall be responsible for the claims administration and financial
administration of all Policies for Covered Claims relating to the assets,
ownership or operation prior to the Separation Date of the Car Rental Business;
provided, however, that such retention by ARAC of the Policies and the
responsibility for claims administration and financial administration of the
Policies are in no way intended to limit, inhibit or preclude any right to
insurance coverage for any Covered Claims under the Policies by Holdings. ARAC
or a subsidiary thereof, as appropriate, shall be responsible for all
administrative and financial matters relating to insurance policies established
and maintained by ARAC and its subsidiaries for claims relating to any period on
or after the Separation Date involving ARAC or any of its subsidiaries.
(ii) ARAC shall notify Holdings of any Covered Claim relating to ARAC or a
subsidiary thereof under one or more of the Policies relating to a period prior
to the Separation Date, and ARAC agrees to cooperate and coordinate with
Holdings concerning any strategy Holdings may reasonably elect to pursue to
secure coverage and payment for such Covered Claim by the appropriate insurance
carrier. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in any other agreement or
applicable Policy or any understanding to the contrary, ARAC or an appropriate
subsidiary thereof assumes responsibility for, and shall pay to the appropriate
insurance carriers or otherwise, any premiums, retrospectively-rated premiums,
defense costs, indemnity payments, deductibles, retentions or other charges, as
appropriate (collectively, "Insurance Charges"), whenever arising, which shall
become due and payable under the terms and conditions of any applicable Policy
in respect of any liabilities, losses, claims, actions or occurrences, whenever
arising or becoming known, involving or relating to any of the assets,
businesses, operations or liabilities of ARAC or any of its subsidiaries, to the
extent set forth in Section 5.6(a) and any such charges that relate to the
period after the Separation Date. To the extent that the terms of any applicable
Policy provide that Holdings or a subsidiary thereof, as appropriate, shall have
an obligation to pay or guarantee the payment of any Insurance Charges, Holdings
or such subsidiary shall be entitled to demand that ARAC or a subsidiary thereof
make such payment directly to the person or entity entitled thereto. In
connection with any such demand, Holdings shall submit to ARAC or a subsidiary
thereof a copy of any invoice received by Holdings or a subsidiary pertaining to
such Insurance Charges, together with appropriate supporting documentation, if
available. In the event that ARAC or its subsidiary fails to pay any Insurance
Charges when due and payable, whether at the request of the party entitled to
payment or upon demand by Holdings or a subsidiary of Holdings, Holdings or a
subsidiary of Holdings may (but shall not be required to) pay such Insurance
Charges for and on behalf of ARAC or its subsidiary and, thereafter, ARAC or its
subsidiary shall forthwith reimburse Holdings or such subsidiary of Holdings for
such payment.
ARTICLE VI
ACCESS TO INFORMATION
Section 1 Provision of Corporate Records. Each of Holdings and ARAC shall
arrange as soon as practicable following the Separation Date for the provision

relating to the other or to its business and affairs.
Section 2 Access to Information. From and after the Separation Date, each
of Holdings and ARAC shall afford the other, including its accountants, counsel

contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information in such
party's possession relating to the business and affairs of the other (other than
data and information subject to an attorney/client or other privilege), insofar
as such access is reasonably required by the other party including, without
limitation, for audit, accounting and litigation purposes, as well as for
purposes of fulfilling disclosure and reporting obligations.
Section 3 Litigation Cooperation. Each of Holdings and ARAC shall use
reasonable efforts to make available to the other, upon written request, its
officers, directors, employees and agents as witnesses to the extent that such
persons may reasonably be required in connection with any legal, administrative
or other proceedings arising out of the business of the other prior to the
Separation Date in which the requesting party may from time to time be involved.
Section 4 Reimbursement. Each party providing witnesses under Section 6.3
to the other shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the
presentation of invoices therefor, payment for all out-of-pocket costs and
expenses as may be reasonably incurred in providing such witnesses.
Section 5 Retention of Records. Except as otherwise required by law or
agreed to in writing, each party shall, and shall cause each of its respective
subsidiaries to, retain all information relating to the other party's business
in accordance with the past practice of such party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except as provided in the Tax Disaffiliation Agreement, any party may
destroy or otherwise dispose of any information at any time, providing that,
prior to such destruction or disposal, (a) such party shall provide no less than
30 days prior written notice to the other party, specifying the information
proposed to be destroyed or disposed of and (b) if the recipient of such notice
shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or
disposal that any of the information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be
delivered to such requesting party, the party proposing the destruction or
disposal shall promptly arrange for the delivery of such of the information as
was requested at the expense of the requesting party.
Section 6 Confidentiality. Each party shall hold and shall cause its
directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in
strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative
process or, in the opinion of its counsel, by other requirements of law, all
information (other than any such information relating solely to the business or
affairs of such party) concerning the other party (except to the extent that
such information can be shown to have been (a) in the public domain through no
fault of such party, (b) later lawfully acquired on a non-confidential basis
from other sources by the party to which it was furnished, (c) information that
typically would have been disclosed by Holdings or ARAC, as
the case may be, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice or (d) information that may be disclosed pursuant to any Ancillary
Agreement). Neither party shall release or disclose any such information to any
other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and
other consultants and advisors who shall be advised of and agree to comply with
the provisions of this Section 6.6; provided, that with respect to the matters
identified on Schedule 6.6 hereof, no information may be disclosed by either
party under any circumstance without the prior written consent of the other
party hereto.
Section 7 Mail. After the Separation Date, each of Holdings and ARAC may
receive mail, telegrams, packages and other communications property belonging to
the other. Accordingly, at all times after the Separation Date, each of Holdings
and ARAC authorizes the other to receive and open all mail, telegrams, packages
and other communications received by it and not unambiguously intended for the
other party or any of the other party's officers or directors specifically in
their capacities as such, and to retain the same to the extent that they relate
to the business of the receiving party or, to the extent that they do not relate
to the business of the receiving party and do relate to the business of the
other party, or to the extent that they relate to both businesses, the receiving
party shall promptly contact the other party by telephone for delivery
instructions and such mail, telegrams, packages or other communications (or, in
case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) shall promptly be
forwarded to the other party in accordance with its delivery instructions. The
foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7 shall constitute full authorization to
the postal authorities, all telegraph and courier companies and all other
persons to make deliveries to Holdings or ARAC, as the case may be, addressed to
either of them or to any of their officers or directors specifically in their
capacities as such. The provisions of this Section 6.7 are not intended to and
shall not be deemed to constitute an authorization by either Holdings or ARAC to
permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf, and neither party
is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other for service of process
purposes or for any other purpose.
ARTICLE VII

third party from whom such consents, approvals and amendments are requested or
to take any action or omit to take any action if the taking of or the omission
to take such action would be unreasonably burdensome to the party or its
business.

Section 12 Legal Enforceability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,

resolution within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by a Party of a
Demand, each of Holdings and ARAC shall be free to exercise the remedies
available to them under Section 7.13(d).
(d) The Parties hereby agree to submit all Disputes not resolved by
negotiation pursuant to Section 7.13(c) for resolution by arbitration under the
