No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Subsidiary thereof from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the grant of any type of equity-based award (subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required).

Other Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

Covered Compensation Arrangements; Effective Date. This Policy applies to all short- or long-term cash incentives and bonuses (including Awards as defined in and granted under Republic’s Executive Incentive Plan or any successor thereto), stock options, stock or stock-based awards (including Performance Shares and Performance Units as defined in and granted under Republic’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan or any successor thereto), Restricted Stock Units, or other incentive compensation, and in each case # to the extent that the amount, payment and/or vesting of which is calculated based in whole or in part on the application of, in the case of a Restatement (as defined below), the attainment of one or more financial reporting measures (as defined by Rule 10D-1(d) under the Exchange Act) or in the case of a Covered Event (as defined below), objective performance criteria, in either case measured during any part of the fiscal period covered by the Restatement or with respect to which the Covered Event occurred or # that vest during any part of the fiscal period covered by the Restatement or with respect to which the Covered Event occurred (collectively, “Incentive Compensation”). For the avoidance of doubt, none of the following shall be deemed to be Incentive Compensation: salary, discretionary bonuses, bonuses paid solely upon completion of a specified employment period,, “other” compensation related to reasonable relocation expenses, and programs provided to salaried employees generally in which the level of benefits is not determined by the employee’s level of compensation, as determined by the Committee. This Policy shall apply only to Incentive Compensation received by a current or former Covered Officer on or after the Effective Date; provided, however, that, subject to the Applicable Rules, # the portions of this Policy relating to Restatements shall continue to apply to Incentive Compensation granted on or after the Initial Effective Date if such Restatement corrects one or more errors in previously issued financial statements that are material to the previously issued financial statements (i.e., a Restatement that triggers the filing of a Form 8-K under Item ​(a)) and # the portions of this Policy relating to Covered Events shall continue to apply to Incentive Compensation granted on or after ​.

No Transfer; No Inconsistent Arrangements. Except as provided hereunder or under the Merger Agreement, from and after the date hereof and until this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with [Section 5.2], such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, # create or permit to exist any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, on any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, # transfer, sell (including short sell), assign, gift, hedge, pledge, grant a participation interest in, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to (collectively, “Transfer”), any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, or any right or interest therein (or consent to any of the foregoing), # enter into any Contract with respect to any Transfer of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares or any interest therein, # grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, # deposit or permit the deposit of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, # take or permit any other action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or materially impair such Stockholder’s ability to timely perform its obligations or the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or # take or permit any other action that would otherwise make any representation or warranty of such Stockholder herein untrue or incorrect. Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void ab initio. Each Stockholder hereby authorizes Parent to direct the Company to impose stop orders to prevent the Transfer of any Subject Shares on the books of the Company in violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Stockholder may Transfer Subject Shares to # any Affiliate of such Stockholder; # to any charitable foundation or organization, including donor advised funds; or # to the extent required by any non-consensual Judgement, by divorce decree or by will, intestacy or other similar applicable Law; provided, in each case, that such Transfer shall be permitted only if all of the representations and warranties in this Agreement with respect to such Stockholder would be true and correct at the time of such Transfer and the transferee shall have executed and delivered to Parent and Merger Sub a counterpart to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and agree and acknowledge that such Person shall constitute a Stockholder for all purposes of this Agreement. If any involuntary Transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by such Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with [Section 5.2]. Each Stockholder agrees that he, she or it shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its Affiliates not to, become a member of a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) for the purpose of taking any actions inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Stockholder may make Transfers of his, her or its Subject Shares as Parent may agree in writing in its sole discretion.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, in no event will any non-employee Director in any one calendar year be granted compensation for such service having an aggregate maximum value (measured at the Date of Grant as applicable, and calculating the value of any awards based on the grant date fair value for financial reporting purposes), in excess of ​.

"Compensation" means Compensation as defined in [Section 1.18], except, for purposes of this Section, no dollar limit, other than the limit imposed by Code §401(a)(17), applies to the Compensation of a Nonhighly Compensated Employee.

No Rights to Other Payments; No Limitation on Other Payments. The provisions of this Plan provide no right or eligibility to a Participant to any other payouts from the Company under any other alternative plans, schemes, arrangements or contracts the Company may have with any employees or group of employees of the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall preclude or limit the ability of the Company to pay any compensation to a Participant under any other plan or compensatory arrangement whether or not in effect on the date this Plan was adopted.

Other Compensation Plans.
