a Participant with respect to such Assumed Amounts. 
 3.2 Continued Participation 
 A Participant in the Plan shall continue to be a Participant so long as any amount remains credited to his or her Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participation in respect of any calendar year is not a
guarantee of participation in respect of any future calendar year. 
 ARTICLE 4-ELECTIVE AND MATCHING DEFERRALS 
 4.1 Elective Deferrals 
 An individual who is an Eligible Employee on
the Effective Date may, by completing an Elections Form and filing it with the Plan Administrator within 30 days following the Effective Date, elect to defer a percentage or dollar amount of one or more payments of Compensation, on such terms as the
Plan Administrator may permit, which are payable to the Participant after the date on which the individual files the Election Form. Any individual who becomes an Eligible Employee after the Effective Date may, by completing an Election Form and
filing it with the Plan Administrator within 30 days following the date on which the Plan Administrator gives such individual written notice that the individual is an Eligible Employee, elect to defer a percentage or dollar amount of one or more
payments of Compensation, on such terms as the Plan Administrator may permit, which are payable to the Participant after the date on which the individual files the Election Form. Any Eligible Employee who has not otherwise initially elected to defer
Compensation in accordance with this paragraph 4.1 may elect to defer a percentage or dollar amount of one or more payments of Compensation, on such terms as the Plan Administrator may permit, commencing with Compensation paid in the next succeeding
Plan Year, by completing an Election Form prior to the first day of such succeeding Plan Year. A Participant’s Compensation shall be reduced in accordance with the Participant’s election hereunder and amounts deferred hereunder shall be
paid by the Employer to the Trust as soon as administratively feasible and credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date the amounts are received by the Trustee. 
 An election to defer a percentage or dollar amount of Compensation for any Plan Year shall apply for subsequent Plan Years unless changed or revoked. A Participant may change or revoke his or her future deferral
election as of the first day of any Plan Year by giving written notice to the Plan Administrator before such first day (or any such earlier date as the Plan Administrator may prescribe). 
 4.2 Matching Deferrals 
 After each payroll period, monthly, quarterly, or annually, at the Employer’s
discretion, the Employer shall contribute to the Trust Matching Deferrals equal to the rate of Matching Contribution selected by the Employer at the beginning of the Plan Year and multiplied by the amount of the Elective Deferrals credited to the
Participants’ Accounts for such period under Section 4.1. Each Matching Deferral will be credited, as of the later of the date it is received by the Trustee or the date the Trustee receives from the Plan Administrator such instructions as
the Trustee may reasonably require to allocate the amount received among the asset accounts maintained by the Trustee, to the Participants’ Accounts pro rata in accordance 








 
with the amount of Elective Deferrals of each Participant which are taken into account in calculating the Matching Deferral. 
 4.3 Prior Deferred Amounts 
 The Employer has assumed deferred
compensation obligations (“Assumed Amounts”) of certain Participants who were participants of the Cendant Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Cendant Plan”). Assumed Amounts have become obligations of the Employer
hereunder and have been credited to the Accounts of applicable participants hereunder. Assumed Amounts credited to Accounts hereunder shall remain subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such amounts under the terms of the
Cendant Plan and any applicable Participant election, including any election made pursuant to the First Amendment to the Cendant Plan; provided, that the Plan Administrator hereunder may prescribe rules and regulations governing the Assumed Amounts,
including the ability of Participants to revise the investment vehicles in which the Assumed Amounts are deemed to be invested. 
 ARTICLE 5-ACCOUNTS

 5.1 Accounts 
 The Plan Administrator shall
establish an Account for each Participant reflecting Assumed Amounts, Elective Deferrals, Matching Deferrals and Incentive Contributions made for the Participant’s benefit together with any adjustments for income, gain or loss and any payments
from the Account. The Plan Administrator may cause the Trustee to maintain and invest separate asset accounts corresponding to each Participant’s Account. As of the last business day of each calendar quarter, the Plan Administrator shall
provide the Participant with a statement of his or her Account reflecting the income, gains and losses (realized and unrealized), amounts of deferrals, and distributions of such Account since the prior statement. 
 5.2 Investments 
 The assets of the Trust shall be invested in such
investments as the Trustee shall determine. The Trustee may (but is not required to) consider the Employer’s or a Participant’s investment preferences when investing the assets attributable to a Participant’s Account. 
 ARTICLE 6-VESTING 
 6.1 General 
 A Participant shall be immediately vested in, i.e., shall have a nonforfeitable right to, all Elective Deferrals, and all income and gain attributable thereto,
credited to his or her Account. A Participant shall become vested in the portion of his or her Account attributable to Matching Deferrals and income and gain attributable thereto in accordance with the schedule selected by the Employer, subject to
earlier vesting in accordance with Sections 6.3 and 6.4. 
 6.2 Vesting Service 
 For purposes of applying the vesting schedule in the Adoption Agreement, a Participant shall be considered to have completed a Year of Service for each complete year of full-time service with the Employer or an
affiliate, measured from the Participant’s first date of such employment, unless the Employer also maintains a 401(k) plan that is qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code in which the Participant participates, in which case
the rules governing vesting service under that plan shall also be controlling under this Plan. 
 6.3 Change of Control 
 A Participant shall become fully vested in his or her Account immediately prior to a Change of Control of the Employer. 







 6.4 Death or Disability 
 A Participant shall become fully vested in his or her Account immediately prior to termination of the Participant’s employment by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability. 
 ARTICLE 7 – PAYMENTS 
 7.1 Election as to Time and Form of
Payment 
 A Participant shall elect (on the Election Form used to elect to defer Compensation under Section 4.1) the date at which the Elective
Deferrals and vested Matching Deferrals (including any earnings attributable thereto) will commence to be paid to the Participant. Such date will be either a fixed date, which shall be no earlier than 5 years from the date such election is made or
shall be the date which is 7 months following the Participant’s Separation from Service. The Employer may impose additional requirements on such elections. The Participant shall also elect thereon for payments to be paid in either: 

 

	 	a.	a single lump-sum payment; or 

  

	 	b.	annual installments over a period elected by the Participant up to 10 years, the amount of each installment to equal the balance of his or her Account immediately prior to
the installment divided by the number of unpaid installments 

 Each such election will be effective for the Plan Year for which it is made and
succeeding Plan Years. Such election may not be changed under any circumstances. Except as provided in Sections 7.2 and 7.3, payment of a Participant’s Account shall be made in accordance with the Participant’s elections under this
Section 7.1; provided, that shares issued in settlement of any Account shall be issued under the Company’s 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan (or any successor to such plan). 
 7.2 Change of Control 
 As soon as possible following a Change of Control, each Participant shall be paid his or her
entire Account balance (including any amount vested pursuant to Section 6.3) in a single lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after such Change in Control. 
 7.3 Death 
 If a Participant dies prior to the complete distribution of his or her Account, the balance of the Account
shall be paid as soon as practicable to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, in the form elected by the Participant under either of the following options: 
  

	 	a.	a single lump-sum payment; or 

  

	 	b.	annual installments over a period elected by the Participant up to 10 years, the amount of each installment to equal the balance of the Account immediately prior to the
installment divided by the number of unpaid installments. 

 Any designation of beneficiary and form of payment to such beneficiary shall be
made by the Participant on an Election Form filed with the Plan Administrator and may be changed by the Participant at any time by filing another Election Form containing the revised instructions. If no beneficiary is designated or no designated
beneficiary survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s surviving spouse, or, if none, to his or her issue per stirpes, in a single payment. If no spouse or issue survives the Participant, payment shall be made in a
single lump sum to the Participant’s estate. 







 7.4 Taxes 
 All
federal, state or local taxes that the Plan Administrator determines are required to be withheld from any payments made pursuant to this Article 7 shall be withheld. 
 7.5 Income Inclusion Under Section 409A of the Code 
 If the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that Plan benefits are includible for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of a Participant before his or her actual receipt of such benefits due to a failure of the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Code
Section 409A, the Participant’s vested Account balance shall be distributed to the Participant in a lump sum cash payment immediately following such determination or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter; provided, however,
that such payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to satisfy the requirements of section 409A of the Code. 
 ARTICLE 8 – PLAN ADMINISTRATOR 
 8.1 Plan Administration and Interpretation 
 The Plan Administrator shall oversee the administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have complete control and authority to determine the rights and benefits
and all claims, demands and actions arising out of the provisions of the Plan of any Participant, beneficiary, deceased Participant, or other person having or claiming to have any interest under the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have complete
discretion to interpret the Plan and to decide all matters under the Plan. Such interpretation and decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants and any person claiming under or through any Participant, in the absence of clear
and convincing evidence that the Plan Administrator acted arbitrarily and capriciously. Any individual(s) serving as Plan Administrator who is a Participant will not vote or act on any matter relating solely to himself or herself. When making a
determination or calculation, the Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information furnished by a Participant, a beneficiary, the Employer or the Trustee. The Plan Administrator shall have the responsibility for complying with any
reporting and disclosure requirements or ERISA. 
 8.2 Powers, Duties, Procedures, Etc. 
 The Plan Administrator shall have such powers and duties, may adopt such rules and tables, may act in accordance with such procedures, may appoint such officers or agents, may delegate such powers and duties, may
receive such reimbursements and compensation, and shall follow such claims and appeal procedures with respect to the Plan as it may establish. 
 8.3
Information 
 To enable the Plan Administrator to perform its functions, the Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Plan Administrator
on all matters relating to the compensation of Participants, their employment, retirement, death, termination of employment, and such other pertinent facts as the Plan Administrator may require. 
 8.4 Indemnification of Plan Administrator 
 The Employer agrees to
indemnify and to defend to the fullest extent permitted by law any officer(s) or employee(s) who serve as Plan Administrator (including any such individual who formerly served as Plan Administrator) against all liabilities, damages, costs and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved by the Employer) occasioned by any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, if such act or omission is in good faith. 







 ARTICLE 9 – AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 9.1 Amendments 
 The Employer shall have the right to amend the Plan from time to time, subject to Section 9.3,
by an instrument in writing which has been executed on the Employer’s behalf by its duly authorized officer. 
 9.2 Termination of Plan

 This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Employer and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and any
Eligible Employee (or any other employee) or a consideration for, or an inducement or condition of employment for, the performance of the services by any Eligible Employee (or other employee). The Employer reserves the right to terminate the Plan at
any time, subject to Section 9.3, by an instrument in writing which has been executed on the Employer’s behalf by its duly authorized officer. Upon termination, the Employer may (a) elect to continue to maintain the Trust to pay
benefits hereunder as they become due as if the Plan had not terminated or (b) so long as permissible under Code Section 409A, direct the Trustee to pay promptly to Participants (or their beneficiaries) the vested balance of their
Accounts. For purposes of the preceding sentence, in the event the Employer chooses to implement clause (b), the Account balances of all Participants who are in the employ of the Employer at the time the Trustee is directed to pay such balances
shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable. After Participants and their beneficiaries are paid all Plan benefits to which they are entitled, all remaining assets of the Trust attributable to Participants who terminated employment with the
Employer prior to termination of the Plan and who were not fully vested in their Accounts under Article 6 at that time shall be returned to the Employer. 
 9.3 Existing Rights 
 No amendment or termination of the Plan shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to amounts
that have been credited to his or her Account prior to the date of such amendment or termination. 
 ARTICLE 10 – MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1 No Funding 
 The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Employer
to make payments in accordance with the terms of the Plan and Participants and beneficiaries shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Employer. Nothing in the Plan will be construed to give any employee or any other person rights
to any specific assets of the Employer or of any other person. In all events, it is the intent of the Employer that the Plan be treated as unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. 
 10.2 Non-assignability 
 None of the benefits, payments, proceeds or
claims of any Participant or beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any creditor of any Participant or beneficiary and, in particular, the same shall not be subject to attachment or garnishment or other legal process by any creditor of such
Participant or beneficiary, nor shall any Participant or beneficiary have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments or proceeds which he or she may expect to receive, contingently or
otherwise, under the Plan. 
 10.3 Limitation of Participants’ Rights 
 Nothing contained in the Plan shall confer upon any person a right to be employed or to continue in the employ of the Employer, or interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of a
Participant in the Plan at any time, with or without cause. 







 10.4 Participants Bound 
 Any action with respect to the Plan taken by the Plan Administrator or the Employer or the Trustee or any action authorized by or taken at the direction of the Plan Administrator, the Employer or the Trustee shall be conclusive upon all
Participants and beneficiaries entitled to benefits under the Plan. 
 10.5 Receipt and Release 
 Any payment to any Participant or beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against
the Employer, the Plan Administrator and the Trustee under the Plan, and the Plan Administrator may require such Participant or beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect. If any
Participant or beneficiary is determined by the Plan Administrator to be incompetent by reason of physical or mental disability (including minority) to give a valid receipt and release, the Plan Administrator may cause the payment or payments
becoming due to such person to be made to another person for his or her benefit without responsibility on the part of the Plan Administrator, the Employer or the Trustee to follow the application of such funds. 
 10.6 Governing Law 
 The Plan shall be construed, administered, and
governed in all respects under and by the laws of the state of New York, without effect to conflicts of laws provisions thereof. If any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions hereof shall continue to be fully effective. 
 10.7 Headings and Subheadings 
 Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.
