TAX RECEIVABLE PREPAYMENT AGREEMENT
     This Tax Receivable Prepayment Agreement is entered into as of June 26,
2009 by and between Wright Express Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“WEX”)
and Realogy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Realogy”).
     WHEREAS pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of
July 27, 2006, by and among Avis Budget Group, Inc. (f/k/a Cendant Corporation)
(“ABG”), Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (“Wyndham”) and Travelport Inc.
(the “Separation Agreement”), and as ratified pursuant to the ABG Agreement (as
defined below), Realogy has acquired from ABG the right to receive 62.5% of the
payments to ABG under the Tax Receivable Agreement, dated February 22, 2005,
among WEX, Cendant Corporation, and Cendant Mobility Services Corporation (the
“TRA”) and has assumed 62.5% of the liabilities and obligations of ABG under the
TRA;
     WHEREAS this Agreement contemplates a transaction in which WEX will prepay
to Realogy contingent obligations to Realogy under the TRA, as specified in the
Agreement, and Realogy will accept prepayment for such contingent rights under
the TRA and will release WEX from obligations thereunder, as specified in this
Agreement;
     WHEREAS the parties to this Agreement intend to treat all payments by WEX
hereunder as part of the purchase price (and interest thereon under the
applicable provisions of the Code) for the assets transferred by ABG to WEX upon
its conversion into a Delaware corporation on February 16, 2005;
     WHEREAS contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Apollo
Investment Fund VI, L.P., Apollo Overseas Partners VI, L.P., Apollo Overseas
Partners (Delaware) VI, L.P., Apollo Overseas Partners (Delaware892) VI, L.P.
and Apollo Overseas Partners (Germany) VI, L.P., have entered into a guarantee
agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”);
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations,
warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:
     Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in Article IX.

Article VII of this Agreement, from and after the Closing, WEX shall have no
further obligations under the TRA to ABG, Realogy or any other person claiming
through ABG or Realogy on account of Realogy’s interest in the TRA (including
under Articles III and VIII thereof), and Realogy hereby releases, remises and
forever discharges WEX, its affiliates, shareholders and employees from any such
obligations, effective as of the

forever discharges Realogy, its affiliates, shareholders, and employees from any
such obligations, effective as of the Closing.

     Realogy represents and warrants to WEX that, except as set forth in the
Disclosure Schedule, the statements contained in this Article II are true and
correct as of the date of this Agreement. The Disclosure Schedule shall be
arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered
sections and subsections contained in this Article II. The disclosures in any
section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the corresponding
section or subsection in this Article II, except that it shall also qualify any
other section where such disclosure is reasonably apparent.
     2.1 Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power. Realogy is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws

and the ABG Agreement and the performance by Realogy of this Agreement and the
ABG Agreement and the consummation by Realogy of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of Realogy. This Agreement and the ABG Agreement
have been duly and validly executed and delivered by Realogy and such
agreements, together with the TRA and the Separation Agreement, constitute valid
and binding obligations of Realogy, enforceable against Realogy in accordance
with their terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by general equitable
principles or by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
moratorium, or similar laws, legal requirements and judicial decisions from time
to time in effect which affect creditors’ rights generally.
     2.3 Noncontravention. Neither the execution and delivery by Realogy of this
Agreement or the ABG Agreement, nor the consummation by Realogy of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will (a) conflict with or violate
any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of Realogy,
(b) require on the part of Realogy any notice to or filing with, or any permit,
authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity, (c) conflict
with, result in a breach of, constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default under, result in the acceleration of obligations under,
create in any party the right to terminate, modify or cancel, or require any
notice, consent or waiver under, any contract or instrument to which Realogy is
a party or by which Realogy is bound or to which any of its assets is subject,
except for (i) any conflict, breach, default, acceleration, termination,
modification or cancellation which would not be material or which would not
materially adversely affect the consummation or enforceability of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) any notice, consent or
waiver the absence of which would not adversely affect the consummation or
enforceability of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or
(d) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to Realogy or any of its properties or assets.
     2.4 Ownership of Rights. Realogy has the sole and exclusive rights to
receive the payments under the TRA assigned or purported to be assigned to
Realogy pursuant to the ABG Agreement and the Separation Agreement, and to
exercise all of the rights assigned or purported to be assigned to Realogy
pursuant to the ABG Agreement and the provisions of the Separation Agreement
that relate to the matters contained in the ABG Agreement, and such rights are
free and clear of all Security Interests other than such Security Interests as
shall have been released on or before Closing.
     2.5 Contracts. Realogy has delivered to WEX a complete and accurate copy of
the Separation Agreement and any other agreements to which Realogy is a party or
of which it has knowledge (including written summaries of any oral agreements)
adversely affecting the rights of WEX under this Agreement. The provisions of
the Separation Agreement that relate to the matters contained in the ABG
Agreement are legal, valid, binding on and enforceable against Realogy and in
full force and effect to the extent not modified by the ABG Agreement and
Realogy is not in material breach or in material violation of, or material
default under, any such provision, and no event has occurred, is pending or is
threatened, which, after the giving of notice, with lapse of time, or otherwise,
would constitute a breach or default by Realogy or any other party under any
such provision of the Separation Agreement in a manner adverse to WEX.

contemplated by this Agreement. To Realogy’s knowledge, there is no Legal
Proceeding which is pending or has been threatened in writing, or judgment,
order or decree outstanding, against ABG which in any manner challenges or seeks

transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

market one business day prior to the date of such payment, or (ii) pay to WEX
the deferral payments on the dates they would have been due if the Deferral
Election had been elected by WEX, whether or not it in fact had been elected;
provided, however, that Realogy shall have no right to elect the option
described in this clause (ii) if at such time the Guarantee Agreement is not in
effect with respect to the obligations set forth in this paragraph or shall
expire or otherwise terminate with respect thereto within 30 days thereafter,
unless (A) Realogy is then rated BB (or any higher rating) by Standard & Poor’s
Rating Services, a division of the McGraw Hill Companies, Inc., or (B) Realogy
has provided a letter of credit to WEX as security for the payment of such
deferral payments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to WEX (each of
(A) and (B), an “Alternative Security Condition”), and provided further, that
any deferral payments that would extend beyond the period during which the
Guarantee Agreement covers the obligations set forth in this paragraph shall be
paid at least thirty days prior to the expiration of such period in an amount

result of the Deferral Election, at a discount rate equal to the five-year ‘USD
US Composite (BBB)’ rate as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets under the
ticker symbol C8835Y as of the close of market one business day prior to the
date of such payment, unless an Alternative Security Condition has been met;

trustee, or any assignee thereof or successor thereto, challenging or otherwise
seeking to avoid or rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement;

creditors of ABG (whenever existing), including banks, or any committee of such
creditors, or any trustee, or any assignee thereof or successor thereto,
challenging or otherwise seeking to avoid or rescind this Agreement or the ABG
Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the ABG
Agreement;
          (e) if there is a Basis Final Determination as a result of which any
Tax Benefit Payment would have been reduced,

Recomputed Tax Benefit Payment pursuant to Section 3.03 of the TRA, in each case
limited to payments made by WEX pursuant to the TRA prior to the Closing Date,
and
               (ii) the amount by which the Prepayment would have been reduced
had it been calculated by using the cash flows implied by the Basis Final
Determination, discounted at the same rate and using the same methodology as
used to arrive at the Prepayment; and
          (f) without duplication, 62.5% of any Taxes and other losses for which
ABG indemnified or has agreed to indemnify WEX and its Affiliates under
Section 4.01 of the TRA.
     7.2 Indemnification by WEX. WEX shall indemnify Realogy in respect of, and
hold it harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Realogy or

Date, of any representation or warranty of WEX contained in this Agreement or
any other agreement or instrument furnished by WEX to Realogy pursuant to this
Agreement;
          (b) if there is a Basis Final Determination as a result of which any
Tax Benefit Payment would have been increased,
               (i) 62.5% of the excess, if any, of any Recomputed Tax Benefit
Payment over the Original Payment pursuant to Section 3.03 of the TRA, in each
case limited to payments made by WEX pursuant to the TRA prior to the Closing

               (ii) the amount by which the Prepayment would have been increased
had it been calculated by using the cash flows implied by the Basis Final
Determination, discounted at the same rate and using the same methodology as

-8-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (a) An Indemnified Party shall give written notification to the
Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such
notification shall be given within 20 days after receipt by the Indemnified
Party of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable
detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the
basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages;
provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party
in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of
any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or
liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after
delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice
thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Third
Party Action with its own counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the
defense of any Third Party Action (x) involving action by the Internal Revenue
Service or any other taxing authority, but only if the Indemnified Party can
reasonably demonstrate that the action involves a likelihood of loss to it that
is equal to or greater than the indemnifiable claim, (y) involving criminal
liability or (z) if the Indemnifying Party is in bankruptcy. If the Indemnifying
Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control
of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnified Party shall control such
defense, provided, however, that if the Controlling Party is not the
Indemnifying Party in the case of an action by the Internal Revenue Service or
any other taxing authority, the Controlling Party shall:
               (i) promptly deliver to the Indemnifying Party complete copies of
all written notices, requests, or other information received from any taxing
authority or judicial or similar body that could result in a redetermination or
other adjustment to any Tax item which could increase the liability of the
Indemnified Party for any Tax for which the Indemnifying Party is or may be
liable under this Agreement (hereinafter a “Tax Indemnity Issue”);
               (ii) not provide any documents or other information to any taxing
authority or judicial or similar body that relate to the Tax Indemnity Issue
without the Indemnifying Party’s prior review:
               (iii) not submit any written response or other written work in
respect of any Tax Indemnity Issue to any taxing authority or judicial or
similar body without allowing the Indemnifying Party to review and revise such
written response or other written work to the extent it relates to any Tax
Indemnity issue (with any disagreement as to the ultimate language used in any
such written response or other written work to be resolved by the Controlling
Party);
               (iv) permit the Indemnifying Party and its representatives, at
the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense, to participate fully in all conferences,
meetings, proceedings or judicial appearances with or before any taxing
authority or judicial or similar body (whether in person or by telephone) the
subject matter of which is or includes the Tax Indemnity Issue;
               (v) consult in good faith with the Indemnifying Party with
respect to all aspects of any action or position to be taken by the Controlling
Party that relates to any Tax Indemnity Issue and take the Indemnifying Party’s
interests into account;

-9-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

               (vi) not adopt any position in any proceeding that compromises a
Tax Indemnity Issue so as to gain any advantage with respect to any other issue,
including those which are the subject of the same or any related proceeding; and
               (vii) not make any settlement offer to any taxing authority or
accept any settlement offer made by any taxing authority, in each case with
respect to any proceeding that is related, in whole or in part, to any Tax
Indemnity Issue without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense and
the Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status
of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good
faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto.
The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such
information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including
copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on
such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document
evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist
the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. The fees and
expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Third Party
Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the
Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to
the terms of this Section 7.3(a) (other than pursuant to clause (x) above, in
which case the parties shall determine an equitable sharing of counsel costs to
reflect the pro rata likelihood of loss referenced in clause (x) above) or (ii)
the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense, but the Indemnified
Party is named in the Third Party Action and its counsel reasonably concludes
that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have actual conflicts of
interest with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall
not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any
Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The
Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any
judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written
consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
          (b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VII, an
Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party.
          (c) Within 20 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying
Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a Response, in which the
Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to
receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case the Response shall be
accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of
the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (ii) agree that the
Indemnified Party is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case the
Response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the
Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), or (iii)
dispute that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed
Amount. During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Response that
reflects a Dispute, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use
good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. In the absence of an agreement by the
Indemnifying

-10-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Party and the Indemnified Party, such Dispute shall be resolved in a state or
federal court in accordance with Section 10.10.
          (d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.3, if a
third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that an Indemnified Party
is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may
constitute or result in Damages for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII, and such Indemnified Party
reasonably determines that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such
obligation, then (i) such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to satisfy such
obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Indemnifying Party,
(ii) such Indemnified Party may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in
accordance with the provisions of this Article VII, and (iii) such Indemnified
Party shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this
Article VII, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification
pursuant to this Article VII (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to
dispute the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount
for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this
Article VII).
     7.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties that are covered by the indemnification agreements in Section 7.1(a)
and Section 7.2(a) shall survive the Closing for two years from the date of
Closing. The rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VII shall not
be affected by (i) any investigation conducted by or on behalf of an Indemnified
Party or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by an Indemnified
Party, whether before or after the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date,
with respect to the inaccuracy or noncompliance with any representation,
warranty, covenant or obligation which is the subject of indemnification
hereunder or (ii) any waiver by an Indemnified Party of any closing condition.
For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligations set forth in
Sections 7.1(b) through and including 7.1(f) and 7.2(b) through and including
7.2(c) shall survive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of
limitation, provided that the indemnification obligation set forth in
Section 7.1(b) shall also expire earlier upon the receipt by WEX of the Private
Letter Ruling.
     7.5 Limitations.
          (a) Realogy’s maximum obligation for Damages under Sections 7.1(a),
(b), (c) and (d) shall equal $75,000,000.

any Damages, regardless of whether alternative theories of recovery exist under
this Agreement.
     7.6 [Reserved]
     7.7 [Reserved]
     7.8 Insurance. Any indemnity payment due and payable by an Indemnifying
Party under this Agreement shall be net of any insurance proceeds received by
the other party with respect to the respective claim.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     7.9 Exclusive Remedy. As between Realogy and WEX, the indemnification in
this Article VII shall be the exclusive remedy with respect to the subject
matter hereof.
     7.10 Treatment of Payments. The parties to this Agreement shall treat all
payments by WEX hereunder as part of the purchase price (and interest thereon
under the applicable provisions of the Code) for the assets transferred by ABG
