 1. Purpose; Types of Awards;
Construction. 
 The purposes of the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) are to afford an
incentive to non-employee directors, selected officers and other employees, advisors and consultants of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (the “Company”), or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company that now exists or hereafter is organized or
acquired, to continue as non-employee directors, officers, employees, advisors or consultants, as the case may be, to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to promote the success of the Company’s business. The
Plan provides for the grant of Options (including “incentive stock options” and “nonqualified stock options”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock- or cash-based awards. The Plan is
designed so that Awards granted hereunder intended to comply with the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code comply with such requirements, and the Plan and Awards shall be interpreted in a
manner consistent with such requirements.

authority to grant Awards; to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; to determine the type and number of Awards to be granted, the number of shares of Stock to which an Award may relate and the terms,

(if any) included in, Awards; to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of the Award Agreements (which need not be identical

determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted hereunder. 
 4. Eligibility. 
 Awards may be granted to selected non-employee directors, officers and other employees, advisors or consultants of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company, in the discretion of the Committee. In determining the persons to whom Awards shall be granted and the type of any Award (including the number of shares to be covered by such Award), the Committee shall take into account
such factors as the Committee shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan. 
 5. Stock Subject to the
Plan. 
 The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be 43,500,000 including all shares to be issued
pursuant to Conversion Options or Conversion Stock, and pursuant to the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, Savings Restoration Plan, and Officer Deferred Compensation Plan, subject to adjustment as provided herein. No
more than (i) 1 million shares of Stock may be made subject to Options (other than Conversion Options) or SARs to a single individual in a single Plan Year, (ii) 250,000 shares of Stock may be made subject to stock-based awards other
than Options or SARs (including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (but other than Conversion Stock) or Other Stock-Based Awards denominated in shares of Stock) to a single individual in a single Plan Year, and (iii) 1 million
shares of Stock may be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISO’s, in each case, subject to adjustment as provided herein. Determinations made in respect of the limitations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made in a manner
consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code. Such shares may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued shares or shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise. If
any shares subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered or if an Award terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the Grantee, or if shares of Stock are surrendered or withheld as payment of either the
exercise price of an Award and/or withholding taxes in respect of an Award, the shares of Stock with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange, surrender, withholding, termination or expiration, again
be available for Awards under the Plan. Upon the 

  

 7 








 
exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Award, such related Award shall be cancelled to the extent of the number of shares of Stock as to
which the Award is exercised and, notwithstanding the foregoing, such number of shares shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan. 
 In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Stock, or other property), recapitalization, Stock split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Grantees under the Plan, then the
Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock or other property (including cash) that may thereafter be issued in connection with
Awards, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock or other property (including cash) issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, (iii) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award; provided, that,
with respect to ISOs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code, (iv) annual award limitations set forth in Section 5; and (v) the Performance Goals applicable to outstanding Awards. 

6. Specific Terms of Awards. 
 (a) General. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company upon the grant, vesting, maturation, or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, or other
property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis. The Committee may make rules relating to installment or deferred payments with respect to Awards, including the rate of interest to be credited with
respect to such payments. In addition to the foregoing, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter, such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the
Committee shall determine. 
 (b) Long Term Incentive Program. Under the Long Term Incentive Program, the Committee is
authorized to grant the Awards described in this Section 6(b), under such terms and conditions as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Such Awards may be granted with value and payment contingent upon
Performance Goals. Except as otherwise set forth herein or as may be determined by the Committee, each Award granted under the Long Term Incentive Program shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement containing such terms and conditions applicable to
such Award as the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter. 
 (i) Options. The Committee is
authorized to grant Options to Grantees on the following terms and conditions: 
 (A) Type of Award. The Award
Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option under the Plan shall designate the Option as an ISO or an NQSO. 
  

 8 








 (B) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock purchasable under an
Option shall be determined by the Committee, but, subject to Section 6(b)(v), in no event shall the per share exercise price of any Option be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of such Option. The exercise
price for Stock subject to an Option may be paid in cash or by an exchange of Stock previously owned by the Grantee for at least six months (if acquired from the Company), through a “broker cashless exercise” procedure approved by the
Committee (to the extent permitted by law), or a combination of the above, in any case in an amount having a combined value equal to such exercise price. An Award Agreement may provide that a Grantee may pay all or a portion of the aggregate
exercise price by having shares of Stock with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price withheld by the Company. 
 (C) Term and Exercisability of Options. The date on which the Committee adopts a resolution expressly granting an Option shall be considered the day on which such Option is granted. Options shall be exercisable
over the exercise period (which shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant), at such times and upon such conditions as the Committee may determine, as reflected in the Award Agreement; provided, that the Committee shall have the authority to
accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. An Option may be exercised to the extent of any or all full shares of Stock as to which the Option
has become exercisable, by giving written notice of such exercise to the Committee or its designated agent. 
 (D)
Termination of Employment. An Option may not be exercised unless the Grantee is then a director of, in the employ of, or providing services to, the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, and unless the Grantee has remained
continuously so employed, or continuously maintained such relationship, since the date of grant of the Option; provided, that the Award Agreement may contain provisions extending the exercisability of Options, in the event of specified terminations
of employment or service, to a date not later than the expiration date of such Option. 
  

 9 








 (E) Other Provisions. Options may be subject to such other conditions including,
but not limited to, restrictions on transferability of the shares acquired upon exercise of such Options, as the Committee may prescribe in its discretion or as may be required by applicable law. 
 (ii) SARs. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to Grantees on the following terms and conditions: 
 (A) In General. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a SAR (1) granted in tandem with an NQSO may be granted at the
time of grant of the related NQSO or at any time thereafter or (2) granted in tandem with an ISO may only be granted at the time of grant of the related ISO. A SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be exercisable only to the extent the
underlying Option is exercisable. Payment of a SAR may made in cash, Stock, or property as specified in the Award or determined by the Committee. 
 (B) Right Conferred. A SAR shall confer on the Grantee a right to receive an amount with respect to each share subject thereto, upon exercise thereof, equal to the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of
one share of Stock on the date of exercise over (2) the grant price of the SAR (which in the case of an SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option, and which in the case of any other SAR
shall be such price as the Committee may determine). 
 (C) Term and Exercisability of SARs. The date on which the
Committee adopts a resolution expressly granting a SAR shall be considered the day on which such SAR is granted. SARs shall be exercisable over the exercise period (which shall not exceed the lesser of ten years from the date of grant or, in the
case of a tandem SAR, the expiration of its related Award), at such times and upon such conditions as the Committee may determine, as reflected in the Award Agreement; provided, that the Committee shall have the authority to accelerate the
exercisability of any outstanding SAR at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. A SAR may be exercised to the extent of any or all full shares of Stock as to which the SAR (or, in the case of a
tandem SAR, its related Award) has become exercisable, by giving written notice of such exercise to the Committee or its designated agent. 
 (D) Termination of Employment. A SAR may not be exercised unless the Grantee is then a director of, in the employ of, or providing services to, the Company or a Parent or 

  

 10 








 
Subsidiary of the Company, and unless the Grantee has remained continuously so employed, or continuously maintained such relationship, since the date of
grant of the SAR; provided, that the Award Agreement may contain provisions extending the exercisability of the SAR, in the event of specified terminations of employment or service, to a date not later than the expiration date of such SAR (or, in
the case of a tandem SAR, its related Award). 
 (E) Other Provisions. SARs may be subject to such other conditions
including, but not limited to, restrictions on transferability of the shares acquired upon exercise of such SARs, as the Committee may prescribe in its discretion or as may be required by applicable law. 
 (iii) Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:

 (A) Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other
restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee may
determine. The Committee may place restrictions on Restricted Stock that shall lapse, in whole or in part, only upon the attainment of Performance Goals. Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock, a
Grantee granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder including, without limitation, the right to vote Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon. 
 (B) Forfeiture. Upon termination of employment with or service to the Company, or upon termination of the director or independent
contractor relationship, as the case may be, during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock and any accrued but unpaid dividends that are then subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, that the Committee may provide, by rule
or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified
causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock. 
 (C)
Certificates for Stock. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted 

  

 11 








 
Stock are registered in the name of the Grantee, such certificates shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions
applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company shall retain physical possession of the certificate. 
 (D)
Dividends. Stock distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and cash or other property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock with
respect to which such Stock or other property has been distributed, and shall be settled as the same time as the Restricted Stock to which it relates. 
 (iv) Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Grantees, subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 (A) Award and Restrictions. Delivery of Stock or cash, as determined by the Committee, will occur upon expiration of the deferral
period specified for Restricted Stock Units by the Committee. The Committee may place restrictions on Restricted Stock Units that shall lapse, in whole or in part, only upon the attainment of Performance Goals. The Committee may award dividend
equivalents relating to Restricted Stock Units on terms and conditions as it determines. 
 (B) Forfeiture. Upon
termination of employment with or service to the Company, or upon termination of the director or independent contractor relationship, as the case may be, during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture conditions apply,
or upon failure to satisfy any other conditions precedent to the delivery of Stock or cash to which such Restricted Stock Units relate, all Restricted Stock Units and any accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents that are then subject to deferral or
restriction shall be forfeited; provided, that the Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Units will be
waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units. 
 (C) Director Deferred Compensation Awards. The Company shall issue RSUs pursuant to this Section 6(b)(iv)(C) for the purpose
of fulfilling the Company’s obligations under its Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (the 

  

 12 








 
“Deferred Compensation Plan”); provided, that certain terms and conditions of the grant and payment of such RSUs set forth in the Deferred
Compensation Plan (and only to the extent set forth in such plan) shall supercede the terms generally applicable to RSUs granted under the Plan. RSUs granted under this paragraph need not be evidenced by an Award Agreement unless the Committee
determines that such an Award Agreement is desirable for the furtherance of the purposes of the Plan and the Deferred Compensation Plan. 
 (D) Non-Employee Director Compensatory Awards. The Company shall issue RSUs payable only in Stock (unless the Committee determines otherwise) pursuant to the Company’s non-employer director compensation
program, and shall issue Stock in settlement of such RSUs in accordance with such program and the terms of this Plan. 
 (v)
Converted Cendant Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Options and Stock awards (such Options and Stock awards, “Conversion Options” and Conversion Stock,” respectively) in connection with the equitable adjustment by
Cendant of certain stock options and restricted stock unit awards previously granted to Participants by Cendant (such Cendant awards, the “Cendant Awards”). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, and in any event
in accordance with a formula for the conversion of Cendant Awards determined by the Board in its sole discretion, (i) the number of shares to be subject to a Conversion Option or Conversion Stock shall be determined by the Committee and
(ii) the per share exercise price of a Conversion Option shall be determined by the Committee 
 (vi) Other Stock- or
Cash-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Awards to Grantees in the form of Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Awards granted pursuant to
this paragraph may be granted with value and payment contingent upon Performance Goals, so long as such goals relate to periods of performance in excess of one calendar year. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at
the date of grant or thereafter. Performance periods under this Section 6(b)(vi) may overlap. The maximum value of the aggregate payment that any Grantee may receive pursuant to this Section 6(b)(vi) in respect of any Plan Year is $1
million. Payments earned hereunder may be decreased or, with respect to any Grantee who is not a Covered Employee, increased in the sole discretion of the Committee based on such factors as it deems appropriate. No such payment shall be made to a
Covered Employee prior to the certification by the Committee that the Performance Goals have been attained. The Committee may establish such other rules applicable to the 

  

 13 








 
Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards to the extent not inconsistent with Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 (c) Annual Incentive Program. The Committee is authorized to grant Awards to Grantees pursuant to the Annual Incentive Program,
under such terms and conditions as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Grantees will be selected by the Committee with respect to participation for a Plan Year. The maximum value of the aggregate payment that any
Grantee may receive under the Annual Incentive Program in respect of any Plan Year is $3 million. Payments earned hereunder may be decreased or, with respect to any Grantee who is not a Covered Employee, increased in the sole discretion of the
Committee based on such factors as it deems appropriate. No such payment shall be made to a Covered Employee prior to the certification by the Committee that the Performance Goals relating to Awards hereunder have been attained. The Committee may
establish such other rules applicable to the Annual Incentive Program to the extent not inconsistent with Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 7. Change in Control Provisions. 
 Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant and evidenced in an
Award Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control: 
 (a) any Award carrying a right to exercise that was not previously
vested and exercisable shall become fully vested and exercisable; and 
 (b) the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment
conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to any other Award granted under the Plan shall lapse and such Awards shall be deemed fully vested, and any performance conditions imposed with respect to Awards shall be deemed to be fully achieved.

 8. General Provisions. 
 (a) Nontransferability. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, Awards shall not be transferable by a Grantee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the
lifetime of a Grantee only by such Grantee or his guardian or legal representative. 
 (b) No Right to Continued
Employment, etc. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award, any Award Agreement or other agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Grantee the right to continue in the employ of, or to continue as a director of, or to continue to
provide services to, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary 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 or any such Parent or Subsidiary to terminate such Grantee’s employment, or director or independent contractor relationship. 
 (c) Taxes. The Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to 

  

 14 








 
an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock, or any other payment to a Grantee, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection
with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Grantees to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any
Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Grantee’s tax obligations. The Committee may provide in the Award Agreement that in
the event that a Grantee is required to pay any amount to be withheld in connection with the issuance of shares of Stock in settlement or exercise of an Award, the Grantee may satisfy such obligation (in whole or in part) by electing to have a
portion of the shares of Stock to be received upon settlement or exercise of such Award equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. 
 (d) Stockholder Approval; Amendment and Termination. 
 (i) The Plan shall take effect upon
its adoption by the Board but the Plan (and any grants of Awards made prior to the stockholder approval mentioned herein) shall be subject to the requisite approval of the stockholders of the Company. 
 (ii) The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however,
that unless otherwise determined by the Board, an amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with Section 162(m) or any other law, regulation or stock exchange requirement shall not be effective
unless approved by the requisite vote of stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to or termination of the Plan shall affect adversely any of the rights of any Grantee, without such Grantee’s consent, under any Award
theretofore granted under the Plan. 
 (e) Expiration of Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after such expiration date. The expiration of the Plan shall not affect adversely any of the rights of any
Grantee, without such Grantee’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted. 
 (f) Deferrals. The Committee
shall have the authority to establish such procedures and programs that it deems appropriate to provide Grantees with the ability to defer receipt of cash, Stock or other property payable with respect to Awards granted under the Plan. 
 (g) No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder Rights. No Grantee shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there
is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Grantees. Except as provided specifically herein, a Grantee or a transferee of an Award shall have no rights as a stockholder with 

  

 15 








 
respect to any shares covered by the Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares. 
 (h) Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Grantee pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Grantee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

 (i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any
Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

 (j) Regulations and Other Approvals. 
 (i) The obligation of the Company to sell or deliver Stock with respect to any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. 
 (ii) Each Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee determines, in its absolute discretion, that the listing,
registration or qualification of Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition
of, or in connection with, the grant of an Award or the issuance of Stock, no such Award shall be granted or payment made or Stock issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 
 (iii) In the event that the disposition of Stock acquired
pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then-current registration statement under the Securities Act and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Stock shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act or
regulations thereunder, and the Committee may require a Grantee receiving Stock pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Stock, to represent to the Company in writing that the Stock acquired by such Grantee is acquired for
investment only and not with a view to distribution. 
 (iv) The Committee may require a Grantee receiving Stock pursuant to
the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such 

  

 16 








 
Stock, to enter into a stockholder agreement or “lock-up” agreement in such form as the Committee shall determine is necessary or desirable to
further the Company’s interests. 
 (k) 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. 
 (l) Tax Laws. Awards under the Plan are intended to comply with Code Section 409A and all Awards shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and Department of Treasury regulations and
other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the effective date of the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Agreement to the contrary,
in the event that the Committee determines that any Award may or does not comply with Code Section 409A, the Company may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the affected Award (without Participant consent) or adopt other policies and
procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and any Award from the application of Code
Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
