This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the
“Agreement”) dated as of April 1, 2003 is hereby made by and between Cendant
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Cendant”) and Scott E. Forbes (the
“Executive”).


 


WHEREAS, Cendant desires to employ the Executive as
Senior Executive Vice President and Group Managing Director of Cendant Europe,
Middle East and Africa (“Cendant EMEA”), and the Executive desires to serve
Cendant in such capacity.


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:


 


SECTION
I


EMPLOYMENT


 


Cendant agrees to employ the Executive and the Executive
agrees to be employed by Cendant for the Period of Employment as provided in
Section III below and upon the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement.
The Executive has previously relocated his primary residence to London, U.K.


 


SECTION II


POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES


 


A.            During
the Period of Employment, as defined below, the Executive will serve as Senior
Executive Vice President and Group Managing Director, Cendant EMEA (the “EMEA
Position”) and, subject to the direction of a Vice Chairman of Cendant or other
executive officer of Cendant designated by the Chief Executive Officer of
Cendant from time to time (the “Supervising Officer”) from time to time will
perform such duties and exercise such supervision with regard to the business
of Cendant as are associated with such position, as well as such additional
duties as may be prescribed from time to time by the Supervising Officer. The
Executive will, during the Period of Employment, devote substantially all of
his time and attention during normal business hours to the performance of
services for Cendant. The Executive will maintain a primary office, and conduct
his business, in London, U.K. The parties hereby acknowledge that the
Executive’s duties and responsibilities will include, without limitation,
managing the Cendant EMEA headquarters in London, U.K. and managing
substantially all of Cendant’s EMEA businesses. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that to the extent contemplated
herein, the Executive may be reassigned to the Alternative Position (as defined
below), and upon such event, this Agreement (and the Period of Employment)
will, after giving effect to any changes associated with such change of
position, remain in full force and effect.


 


1

















 


B.            The Executive agrees that
at any time during the Period of Employment, he may be reassigned by the
Supervising Officer to the Alternative Position, but only in the event that
either (i) the Alternative Position is reasonably acceptable to the Executive
or (ii) each of (a) the Executive may perform substantially all of his duties
in any of London, Parsippany, New Jersey or New York, New York (or, in the case
of Parsippany or New York, any location within 15 miles thereof) and (b)
Cendant reasonably determines that the Alternative Position is a suitable
position for the Executive (after giving due consideration to his skills and
abilities); provided, however, that in no event will any
Alternative Position be proposed to the Executive unless such position provides
overall compensation (including bonus opportunity), employee benefits and
perquisites which, in the aggregate, are no less favorable to the Executive
than provided to him hereunder.


 


C.            Cendant agrees that at
any time during the Period of Employment, the Executive may provide notice to
the Supervising Officer requesting that he relinquish the Europe Position and
be reassigned to a substitute position (the “Substitute Position”). Cendant
will give due consideration to such request and will use reasonable efforts to
identify a Substitute Position reasonably suitable for the Executive as
determined by Cendant in its sole and reasonable discretion.  If Cendant is unable to offer the Executive
a Substitute Position within 180 days of its receipt of such notice, the
Executive may either (i) withdraw his request for reassignment to the
Substitute Position and maintain the Europe Position or (ii) terminate this
Agreement as a Constructive Discharge (as defined below). If Cendant offers the
Executive a Substitute Position within 180 days of its receipt of such notice,
the Executive may either (i) accept the Substitute Position or (ii) reject the
Substitute Position. If the Executive accepts the Substitute Position, this
Agreement (and the Period of Employment) shall continue in full force and
effect. If the Executive rejects the Substitute Position, this Agreement will
be determined terminated as a Resignation (as defined below); provided,
however, that any rejection of the Substitute Position will instead be
deemed a Constructive Discharge in the event that the Substitute Position would
require the Executive to perform substantially all of his duties in any
location other than Parsippany, New Jersey or New York, New York (or, in each
case, any location within 15 miles thereof).


 


SECTION III 

PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT


 


The period of the Executive’s employment under this
Agreement (the “Period of Employment”) will end on March 31, 2006, subject to
extension or termination as provided in this Agreement.


 


SECTION IV

A.            Compensation.

(ii)                                  Annual Incentive Awards


 


The Executive will be eligible for discretionary annual
incentive compensation awards; provided that the Executive will be
eligible to receive an annual bonus for each fiscal year of Cendant during the
Period of Employment based upon a target bonus equal to 100% of Base Salary
(each such bonus, an “Incentive Compensation Award”).


 


(iii)                               Long-Term Incentive
Awards


 


The Executive will be eligible for discretionary stock
option or other incentive or equity-based awards on such appropriate terms and

Position and resides in the U.K. The Allowances will be paid in accordance with
the customary payroll practices of Cendant but in no event less frequently than
once each month, and such amounts shall be paid by a U.K. subsidiary of Cendant

(v)                                 Additional Benefits


 


The Executive will be entitled to participate in all
other compensation or employee benefit plans or programs and receive all

accordance with program provisions.

(vi)                              Expatriate Benefits


 


Cendant will reimburse the Executive for (i) reasonable
professional costs incurred in connection with the preparation of his personal
income tax returns and (ii) the Tax Equalization.  The Tax Equalization will mean a cash payment payable in respect

which policy will include tax equalization benefits for personal investment
income.  Cendant acknowledges that, if
and to the extent subject to foreign taxation, the Tax Equalization will apply
to any income received by the Executive in connection with his personal
investment income and compensation earned in connection with the exercise of
Cendant stock options or other Cendant equity or equity-based awards.  Cendant will also pay any costs and expenses
associated with determining each annual payment in respect of the Tax
Equalization.


 


In
addition, the Executive will remain a participant in Cendant’s U.S. Expatriate
Officer Relocation Policy, and will be entitled to benefits set forth
thereunder, except to the extent that any benefits thereunder would be
duplicative by virtue of any similar or comparable rights or benefits under
this Agreement, or are otherwise not available by virtue of any provision in
this Agreement.


 


In addition, the Executive is entitled to the benefits
set forth on Annex A hereto.


 


SECTION V


BUSINESS EXPENSES


 


Cendant will reimburse the Executive for all reasonable
travel and other expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with the
performance of his duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Executive
will comply with such limitations and reporting requirements with respect to
expenses as may be established by Cendant from time to time.


 


SECTION VI


DISABILITY


 


If the Executive becomes Disabled, as defined below,
during the Period of Employment, the Period of Employment may be terminated at
the option of the Executive upon notice of resignation to Cendant or at the
option of Cendant upon notice of termination to the Executive. “Disabled” means
a determination by an independent competent medical authority that the
Executive is unable to perform his duties under this Agreement and in all
reasonable medical likelihood such inability will continue for a period in
excess of one hundred and eighty (180) days. Unless otherwise agreed by the
Executive and Cendant, the independent medical authority


 


4

















 


will be selected by the Executive and Cendant each
selecting a board-certified licensed physician and the two physicians selected
designating an independent medical authority, whose determination that the
Executive is Disabled will be binding upon Cendant and the Executive. In such
event, until the Executive reaches the age of sixty-five (65) (or such earlier
date on which he is no longer Disabled), Cendant will continue to pay the
Executive sixty percent (60%) of his Base Salary as in effect at the time of
the termination, offset by the amount of any disability payments the Executive
may receive under any long-term disability insurance maintained by
Cendant.  Earned but unpaid Base Salary
and earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation Awards will be paid in a lump sum
at the time of such termination. No Incentive Compensation Award will be deemed
earned within the meaning of this Agreement until the Executive is informed in
writing as to the amount of such compensation the Executive is to be awarded as
to a particular period. If applicable, Cendant will reimburse the Executive for
the relocation of his family and their personal belongings back to the United
States, and will provide such other financial assistance related to such
relocation to the extent provided in the applicable U.S. Expatriate Officer
Relocation Policy (the “Policy”) as well as any other reverse relocation
benefits described in Section VIII.A. below.


 


SECTION VII


DEATH


 


In the event of the death of the Executive during the
Period of Employment, the Period of employment will end and Cendant’s
obligation to make payments under this Agreement will cease as of the date of
death, except for earned but unpaid Base Salary and any earned but unpaid
Incentive Compensation Awards, which will be paid to the Executive’s surviving
spouse, estate or personal representative, as applicable, in a lump sum within
sixty (60) days after the date of the Executive’s death. The Executive’s
designated “beneficiary will be entitled to receive the proceeds of any life or
other insurance or other death benefit programs provided in this Agreement. If
applicable, Cendant will reimburse the Executive’s estate for the relocation of
his family and their personal belongings back to the United States, and will
provide such other financial assistance related to such relocation to the
extent provided in the Policy as well as any other reverse relocation benefits
described in Section VIII.A.


 


SECTION VIII


EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF
EMPLOYMENT


 


A.            Without
Cause Termination and Constructive Discharge. If the Executive’s employment
terminates due to either a Without Cause Termination or a Constructive
Discharge, as defined below, Cendant will pay the Executive (or his surviving
spouse, estate or personal representative, as applicable) upon such Without
Cause Termination or Constructive Discharge (i) a lump sum amount equal to two
hundred and ninety-nine percent (299%) of the sum of Base Salary in effect at
the time of such termination and the target Incentive Compensation Award for
the year in which such termination occurs (which target Incentive Compensation
Award shall in no event be greater than 100% of Base Salary for purposes of
this severance


 


5

















 


calculation) and (ii) any
and all earned but unpaid Base Salary and earned but unpaid Incentive
Compensation Awards. If the Executive is residing in the U.K. at such time and
requests a relocation to the United States, Cendant will reimburse the
Executive for moving his family and their personal belongings back to the
United States, and will provide such other financial assistance related to such
move to the extent provided in the Policy (as well as costs incurred in
connection with the storage of the Executive’s personal belongings for up to 12
months, to the extent not covered under the Policy) so long as such move occurs
within 12 months of such termination or, in lieu thereof, at the election of
the Executive (which election will be made by the Executive within 12 months of
such date of termination), the Company shall pay the Executive an aggregate
payment of U.S. $100,000.  In addition,
any medical and dental insurance benefits provided to similarly situated
employees of Cendant EMEA from time to time will be provided to the Executive
for a period of two years at the expense of Cendant (except for expenses
related to the employee portion of premium payments, co-payments, deductibles
and similar charges).  In addition, any
outstanding stock options held by the Executive as of the date of termination
which were granted following March 1, 1999 and which would have otherwise
vested during the two year period immediately following such date (assuming the
Executive remained employed with Cendant during such period) will become vested
and exercisable as of such date of termination, and will remain exercisable
until the first to occur of the third anniversary of such date of termination
and the original expiration date of such option.


 


B.            Termination
for Cause: Resignation. If the Executive’s employment terminates due to a
Termination for Cause or a Resignation, Base Salary and any Incentive
Compensation Awards earned but unpaid as of the date of such termination will
be paid to the Executive in a lump sum within sixty (60) days of such
termination. If the Executive is residing in the U.K. at such time and requests
a relocation to the United States, Cendant will reimburse the Executive for
moving his family and their personal belongings back to the United States, and
will provide such other financial assistance related to such move to the extent
provided in the Policy, so long as such move occurs within 12 months of such
termination. Any outstanding stock options held by the Executive as of the date
of termination will be treated in accordance with their terms. Except as
provided in this paragraph, Cendant will have no further obligations to the
Executive hereunder.


 


C.            For
the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following
meanings:


 


(i)            “Termination
for Cause” means termination of the Executive’s employment by Cendant upon a
good faith determination by the Chief Executive Officer of Cendant, by written
notice to the Executive specifying the event relied upon for such termination,
due to the Executive’s willful misconduct with respect to his duties under this
Agreement (including but not limited to conviction for a felony or perpetration
of a common law fraud) which is not cured (if such is capable of being cured)
within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to the Executive.


 


(ii)           “Constructive
Discharge” means (i) any material failure of Cendant to


 


6

















 


fulfill its obligations
under this Agreement (including without limitation any reduction of the Base
Salary, as the same may be increased during the Period of Employment, or other
aspect of compensation) or (ii) if, during any period while the Executive’s
primary residence and primary business office is located in the London, U.K.
metropolitan area, and either (A) the EMEA Headquarters is relocated to any
location outside of London, U.K. or (B) a Disposition (as defined below)
occurs. The Executive will provide Cendant a written notice which describes the
circumstances being relied on for the termination with respect to this
Agreement within thirty (30) days after the event giving rise to the notice.
Cendant will have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to remedy the
situation prior to the termination for Constructive Discharge. For purposes of
this Agreement a “Disposition” has occurred if during any period of time during
which the Executive is employed as Group Managing Director of Cendant EMEA,
there is consummated a transaction (or a series of transactions over a period
of no more than one year) involving the divestiture by Cendant of all or a
portion of Cendant EMEA and, as a direct result of such transaction, the
aggregate revenues for Cendant EMEA are decreased by 50% (which decrease shall
be measured by comparing the net revenues for Cendant EMEA over the four fiscal
calendar quarters of Cendant ending immediately prior to such transaction,
against the aggregate revenues for Cendant EMEA over the same period after
excluding any portion of such revenues attributable to the portions of Cendant
EMEA which are no longer owned by, or attributable to, Cendant) and such
decrease is solely and directly attributable to such transaction(s).


 


(iii)          “Without
Cause Termination” or “Terminated Without Cause” means termination of the
Executive’s employment by Cendant other than due to death, disability, or
Termination for Cause.


 


(iv)          “Resignation”
means a termination of the Executive’s employment by the Executive, other than
in connection with a Constructive Discharge.

will indemnify the Executive (including during the Restricted Period) to the

costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of being an officer of
