or divisions, including without limitation, TUG.
    (p)  
“TUG” or “Total Unit Growth” shall mean, in respect of any performance period,
as the percentage change in the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below,
plus, the Company’s Free Cash Flow Yield, as defined below.
       
EBITDA means the Company’s “income before taxes and minority interest,” (as
reported); plus “non-program interest expense (net of interest income and
including early extinguishment of debt)” (as reported); plus “non-program
related depreciation and amortization” (as reported); plus “acquisition and
integration related costs: amortization of pendings and listings” (as reported).
“Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA as adjusted solely to disregard (i) “gains and
losses on disposition of businesses” (as reported); (ii) any financial impact
relating to costs, liabilities, revenue, or income in respect of any change in
the reserves relating to the CUC accounting irregularities and related
litigation and the existing BNP Paribas litigation (as reported); and (iii)
“Acquisitions and Dispositions” in the manner described on Annex A hereto.
       
To the extent that the Financial Accounting Standards Board issues new

be further adjusted to exclude (i) deal related costs currently capitalized
under existing accounting literature that would be required to be expensed in
the Company’s Income Statement (as reported); (ii) exit related costs as

3

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

 

     
defined by E.I.T.F. 95-3 that would be required to be expensed in the Company’s
Income Statement relating to acquisitions (as reported) and (iii) any change in
contingent consideration liability required to be recorded in the Company’s
Income Statement that was previously recorded as purchase price (as reported).
       
“Free Cash Flow Yield” means the Company’s “Free Cash Flow” divided by the
Company’s “Market Value.” “Free Cash Flow” means “net cash provided by (used in)
operating activities exclusive of management and mortgage programs” (as
reported); plus “management and mortgage programs: cash provided by (used in)
operating activities” (as reported); plus “management and mortgage programs:
cash provided by (used in) investing activities” (as reported); plus “management
and mortgage programs: cash provided by (used in) financing activities” (as
reported); less “property and equipment additions” (as reported); less “cash
utilized for net assets acquired and acquisition related payments” (as
reported), adjusted to exclude the cash impact of CUC accounting irregularities
and related litigation and the existing BNP Paribas litigation (as reported);
less “provision for income taxes” calculated assuming a 27% aggregate effective
tax rate (such taxes calculated on Adjusted EBITDA, less “non-program related
depreciation and amortization” (as reported); less “acquisition and integration
related costs: amortization of pendings and listings” (as reported)).
       
“Market Value” equals the Company’s prior year Adjusted EBITDA multiplied by the
applicable “enterprise value multiple,” which the Committee has determined to
equal 9 (once set in respect of any grant, such enterprise value multiple may
not be changed for any reason in respect of such grant).
       
Vesting will be determined by comparing the cumulative compounded TUG over the
term of a particular grant to the Performance Goals. For example, in Year 1,
vesting will be determined by comparing the TUG for Year 1 to the Year 1
Performance Goals. In Year 2, vesting will be determined by multiplying Year 1
TUG+1, by Year 2 TUG+1, and then subtracting 1 from the product, and comparing
such product to the Year 2 cumulative Performance Goals. In Year 3, vesting will
be determined by multiplying Year 1 TUG+1, by Year 2 TUG+1, by Year 3 TUG+1, and
then subtracting 1 from the product, and comparing such product to the Year 3
cumulative Performance Goals. In Year 4, vesting will be determined by
multiplying Year 1 TUG+1, by Year 2 TUG+1, by Year 3 TUG+1, by Year 4 TUG+1, and
then subtracting 1 from the product, and comparing such result to the Year 4
cumulative Performance Goals.

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

 

     
Once determined for a particular year, TUG or cumulative TUG used to determine
vesting is fixed and is not adjusted as a result of acquisitions, dispositions
or other transactions.
    (q)  
“as reported” shall mean as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K or, if combined within another line item or immaterial to disclose
separately, as set forth in the Company’s books and records.

3.  
Administration.

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the
authority in its sole discretion, subject to and not inconsistent with the
express provisions of the Plan, to administer the Plan and to exercise all the
powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the Plan or
necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan, including, without
limitation, the authority to grant Awards; to determine the persons to whom and
the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; to determine the terms,
conditions and restrictions relating to any Award; to determine whether, to what
extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled, canceled,
forfeited, or surrendered; to determine the terms and provisions of Award
Agreements; and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan.

All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members
either present in person or participating by conference telephone at a meeting
or by written consent. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members
or to one or more agents such administrative duties as it may deem advisable.
All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be
final and binding on all persons, including the Company, the Participant (or any
person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant) and
any stockholder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall have the
full and absolute authority (i) to determine and establish any and all
applicable Performance Goals and (ii) to determine whether any Performance Goals
have been attained and to certify to such attainment.

No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or
determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted
hereunder.

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

 

4.  
Eligibility.

Awards may be granted to key personnel of the Company in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Committee. No employee of the Company or any other person
shall have any right to participate in the Plan absent an express designation by
the Committee.

5.  
Terms of Awards.

Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements
substantially in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve and
the terms and conditions of such Awards shall be set forth therein. Awards under
the Plan may not be memorialized or evidenced other than pursuant to an Award
Agreement.

(a)      Participation. The Committee shall grant participation in the Plan to
key personnel of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. The Committee
may determine that participation in the Plan is subject to and contingent upon:

  (i)  
the Participant executing a covenant not to compete and confidentiality
agreement in such form as the Committee shall prescribe; and/or
    (ii)  
the Participant executing a covenant to devote his or her best efforts to create
and deliver value to the stockholders of Cendant; and/or
    (iii)  
such other conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.

(b)      Stock Options. The Committee may grant to a Participant an Award of
Stock Options which shall become vested subject to (i) the Participant remaining
continuously employed in good standing with the Company through one or more
dates determined by the Committee and/or (ii) the Company’s attainment of
Performance Goals. All such Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.
Except as set forth in Section 5(e) below or as otherwise determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion, such Awards shall not vest and shall
immediately terminate if such Participant’s employment terminates prior to an
applicable vesting date, irrespective of the reason for termination of
employment. Upon the occurrence of a Change-of-Control Transaction, each Award
granted pursuant to this paragraph shall become immediately and fully vested and
payable; provided, that the Participant (i) remains employed with the

6

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

 

Company (or its successor) during a 90 day transition period immediately
following such Change-of-Control Transaction or (ii) is terminated during such
90 day transition period by the Company or its successor. Awards granted
hereunder shall be granted pursuant to and in accordance with any one or more of
the Cendant Stock Plans, as determined by the Committee and set forth in an
Award Agreement, and accordingly such Awards shall be subject to the terms of
such Cendant Stock Plan (except as otherwise provided in this Plan), including
without limitation all provisions regarding stock options, the exercising of
stock options and restrictions thereto, tax withholding obligations and
equitable adjustment provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee
shall have the sole discretion to accelerate the vesting of any Award granted
pursuant to this paragraph at any time and for any reason.

(c)      Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Committee may grant to a Participant
an Award of Restricted Stock Units which shall become vested subject to (i) the
Participant remaining continuously employed in good standing with the Company
through one or more dates determined by the Committee and/or (ii) the Company’s
attainment of Performance Goals. Except as set forth in Section 5(e) below or as
otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, such Awards shall
not vest and shall immediately terminate if such Participant’s employment
terminates prior to an applicable vesting date, irrespective of the reason for
termination of employment. Upon the occurrence of a Change-of-Control
Transaction, each Award granted pursuant to this paragraph shall become
immediately and fully vested and payable; provided, that the Participant
(i) remains employed with the Company (or its successor) during a 90 day
transition period immediately following such Change-of-Control Transaction or
(ii) is terminated during such 90 day transition period by the Company or its
successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the sole
discretion to accelerate the vesting and payment of an Award granted pursuant to
this paragraph at any time and for any reason. Awards granted hereunder shall be
granted pursuant to and in accordance with any one or more of the Cendant Stock
Plans, as determined by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement, and
accordingly such Awards shall be subject to the terms of such Cendant Stock Plan
(except as otherwise provided in this Plan), including without limitation any
equitable adjustment provisions. As soon as practicable following the vesting of
each Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive one
share of Cendant Stock; provided, however, that the Participant shall remain
required to remit to the Company such amount that the Company determines is
necessary to meet all required minimum withholding taxes. In the event that
Cendant shall determine to pay a dividend in respect of Cendant Stock, a cash
dividend-equivalent in respect of each then outstanding Restricted Stock Unit
shall be paid to the holder thereof; provided, however, that any such
dividend-equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting schedules, Performance
Goals, forfeiture provisions and deferral elections as the Restricted Stock Unit
to which it relates.

7

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

 

(d)      Performance Based Vesting. Unless otherwise approved by the Committee
and set forth in writing in an Award Agreement, Awards granted hereunder will
vest only upon the attainment of Performance Goals (as well as any other
additional vesting requirements).

(e)      Disability. A Participant’s Award shall immediately vest upon his or
her termination of employment by reason of Disability.

6.  
General Provisions.

(a)      Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Plan and the granting and
payment of Awards, and the other obligations of the Company under the Plan and
any Award Agreement or other agreement, entered into pursuant hereto, shall be
subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to
such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The
selling of shares of Cendant Stock and the exercise of Stock Options may be
restricted by virtue of any “blackout period” or any other restrictive policy
imposed by the Company for any reason or for no reason. No Participant shall
have any actual or implied right to sell Cendant Stock or exercise any Stock
Option at any particular time or particular date, and any such transactions may
be limited or delayed by the Company at any time, with or without prior notice
to the Participant, for any reason or for no reason. The foregoing specifically
includes the Company’s discretionary determination to suspend any such
transactions during a Company investigation of any Participant’s alleged
misconduct.

(b)      Nontransferability. Awards shall not be transferable by a Participant
for any reason whatsoever, other than pursuant to the applicable laws of descent
and distribution.

(c)      No Right To Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan, any Award or any
Award Agreement or other agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer
upon any Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company or to be
entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Award
Agreement or other agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the right
of the Company to terminate such Participant’s employment.

(d)      Withholding Taxes. All Awards hereunder, and the vesting thereof, are
subject to any and all required minimum withholding taxes and similar required
withholding obligations.

8

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

 

(e)      Amendment, Termination and Duration of the Plan. The Board or the
Committee may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or
terminate the Plan in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
amendment shall affect adversely any of the rights of any Participant, without
such Participant’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan.

(f)      Participant Rights. No Participant shall have any claim to be granted
any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment
for Participants.

(g)      Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an
“unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation for a select group of
management and highly compensated employees. Nothing contained in the Plan or
any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those
of a general creditor of the Company. The Plan is not intended to provide
retirement benefits, retirement income or welfare benefits.

(h)      Deferral. Cendant may (but is not obligated to) establish procedures
pursuant to which certain designated Participants may elect to defer, until a
time or times later than the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit, receipt of all
or a portion of the shares of Cendant Stock deliverable in respect of a
Restricted Stock Unit, all on such terms and conditions as Cendant shall
determine in its sole discretion. If any such deferrals are permitted for some
or all Participants, then notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, a Participant who elects such deferral shall not have any rights as a
stockholder with respect to any such deferred shares of Cendant Stock unless and
until certificates representing such shares are actually delivered to the
Participant, except to the extent otherwise determined by the Committee.

(i)      Other Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, an
Award Agreement or any other agreement (written or oral) to the contrary, for
purposes of the Plan and any Award hereunder, a termination of employment shall
be deemed to have occurred on the date upon which the Participant ceases to
perform active employment duties for the Company following the provision of any
notification of termination or resignation from employment, and without regard
to any period of notice of termination of employment (whether expressed or
implied) or any period of severance or salary continuation. Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, an Award Agreement or any other agreement (written
or oral) to the contrary, a Participant shall not be entitled (and by accepting
any Award, thereby irrevocably waives any such entitlement), by way of
compensation for loss of office or otherwise, to any sum or other benefit to
compensate the Participant for the loss of any rights under the Plan as a result
of the termination or expiration in of any Award in connection with any
termination of

9

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

 

employment. No amounts earned pursuant to the Plan or any Award shall be deemed
to be eligible compensation in respect of any other plan of Cendant Corporation
or any of its subsidiaries.

(j)      Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken
pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without
giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

(k)      Effective Date. The Plan shall take effect upon its adoption by the
Committee.

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

 

Annex A
Adjustments to EBITDA and Free Cash Flow for
Acquisitions and Dispositions

Dispositions of Subsidiaries and Business Units

1.  
If a disposition is accounted for as “discontinued operations” in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, then all historical years of EBITDA and Free Cash Flow shall be
adjusted by eliminating the historical results of the disposed entity in the
manner reported on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Further, any
assets, cash or other consideration (if any) received in connection with such
disposition shall not be considered Free Cash Flow.
  2.  
If a disposition with greater than $50 million of “total consideration” (as
defined below) is not accounted for as “discontinued operations” in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, then all historical years of EBITDA and Free Cash Flow shall be
adjusted by the Company by eliminating the historical results of the disposed
entity by making such appropriate adjustments which would have otherwise been
made assuming the disposition was accounted for as “discontinued operations.”
Further, any assets, cash or other consideration (if any) received in connection
with such disposition shall not be considered Free Cash Flow.
     
If a disposition with $50 million or less of total consideration is not
accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP, then
there shall be no adjustment made to EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. In this case,
the total consideration received will be included as a cash inflow to Free Cash
Flow.
  3.  
Once determined for a particular year, TUG or cumulative TUG used to determine
vesting is fixed and is not adjusted as a result of acquisitions, dispositions
or other transactions.

Acquisitions of Subsidiaries and Business Units

1.  
There shall be no adjustment to EBITDA or Free Cash Flow in respect of any
acquisition with a “total consideration” of $15 million or less (“Small
Acquisitions”) (specifically, Free Cash Flow will be reduced by such “total
consideration” in the year of acquisition). The “total consideration” will
consist of all cash consideration paid (including “earn-out” payments), related
deal costs, any assumed debt and any

11

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

 

   
Cendant equity issued (Cendant common stock issued and conversion of stock
options).
  2.  
For acquisitions other than Small Acquisitions, EBITDA shall be adjusted in
order to neutralize the impact of such acquisition in the year of such
acquisition.
     
For such acquisitions, EBITDA shall be adjusted to exclude the results of the
acquired entity for the entirety of the fiscal year in which the acquisition
occurs. The amount of the EBITDA adjustment will be exactly as set forth in the
applicable Cendant Investment Committee Memorandum (all such acquisitions
require presentation of key financial projections in a memorandum to such
committee) used to review and approve the transaction (the “ICM”).
Notwithstanding Company procedure, for purposes of this Plan, in the event that
any acquisition closes more than 90 days following the date of the ICM, or in
the event that an acquisition closes in the calendar year following the date of
the ICM, then an updated ICM will be required. For all adjustments made pursuant
to any ICM, whether an original ICM or an updated ICM, the financial information
set forth in the ICM shall be pro rated to account for the period of time which
elapses following the date of the ICM through the date of closing. The EBITDA
noted in the ICM for the current year (relating to the period owned by the
Company) will be removed from the actual results of the Company without regard
to the actual results of the acquired entity. However, solely for purposes of
determining EBITDA growth in the following year, the EBITDA for the year in
which the acquisition occurred shall be adjusted to include the results of the
acquired entity as if it was owned for the full year (for such purpose, the
EBITDA for the period the acquired entity is not owned by the Company will equal
the EBITDA for such period indicated in the ICM; note: the EBITDA for the period
the acquired entity is owned by the Company will equal the actual EBITDA for
such period). TUG calculated for prior years shall not be adjusted due to this
calculation.
  3.  
For such acquisitions other than Small Acquisitions, Free Cash Flow shall be
adjusted to exclude the free cash flow results of the acquired entity for the
entirety of the fiscal year in which the acquisition occurs. The amount of the
Free Cash Flow adjustment will be exactly as set forth in the applicable ICM
used to review and approve the transaction. Notwithstanding Company procedure,
for purposes of this Plan, in the event that any acquisition closes more than
90 days following the date of the ICM, or in the event that an acquisition
closes in the calendar year following the date of the ICM, then an updated ICM
will be required. For all adjustments made pursuant to any ICM, whether an
original ICM or an updated ICM, the financial information set forth in the ICM
shall be pro rated to account for the period of time which elapses following the
date of the ICM through the date of closing. The Free Cash Flow noted in the ICM
for the current year will be removed from the actual results of the

12

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

 

   
Company without regard to the actual results of the acquired entity. Free Cash
Flow will be adjusted to exclude the total consideration paid for the
acquisition.
  4.  
For acquisitions other than Small Acquisitions, but only those for which the
Company pays “total consideration” in excess of the “enterprise value multiple”
(determined by the Committee to equal 9), multiplied by the acquired entity’s
prior calendar year GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (as set forth in the ICM) (“Acquiree EBITDA”), Free Cash Flow shall
be adjusted.
     
For such acquisitions, the total consideration paid by the Company in excess of
the “enterprise value multiple” (determined by the Committee to equal 9),
multiplied by Acquiree EBITDA shall be referred to as the “Acquisition Premium.”
Commencing on the year following the acquisition, 25% of the Acquisition Premium
shall be included as a cash outflow from Free Cash Flow in each of the following
remaining years of the grant.
  5.  
Once determined for a particular year, TUG or cumulative TUG used to determine
vesting is fixed and is not adjusted as a result of acquisitions, dispositions
or other transactions.
