General corporate overhead expense allocations included executive management, tax, accounting, payroll, financial systems management, legal, treasury and cash management, certain employee benefits and real estate usage for common space. During 2006, the Company was allocated $20 million of general corporate expenses from Cendant, which are included within general and administrative expenses on the Combined Statement of Operations. Such amount includes allocations only from January 1, 2006 through the date of Separation (July 31, 2006).
 
Prior to the date of Separation, Cendant also incurred certain expenses on behalf of the Company. These expenses, which directly benefited the Company, were allocated to the Company based upon the Company’s actual utilization of the services. Direct allocations included costs associated with insurance, information technology, telecommunications and real estate usage for Company-specific space for some but not all of the periods presented. During 2006, the Company was allocated $36 million of expenses directly benefiting the Company, which are included within general and administrative and operating expenses on the Combined Statement of Operations. Such amount includes allocations from January 1, 2006 through the date of Separation (July 31, 2006).
