Officer Deferred Compensation Plan

We intend to adopt an officer deferred compensation plan for the benefit of certain of our officers selected by our Compensation Committee from time to time. Under this plan, participants will be permitted to defer compensation on such terms as our Compensation Committee will determine from time to time. We intend to establish a so-called “rabbi trust” for the purpose of holding assets to be used for the payment of benefits under the officer deferred compensation plan. We will contribute amounts deferred by the participant to that trust, as well as any matching contributions that may be made by us in our discretion. Accounts will be established in the participant’s name and the participant may allocate his or her deferrals to one or more deemed investments under the plan, which may include a deemed investment in our common stock. Matching contributions may be subject to such vesting provisions as we will determine from time to time; however, all of a participant’s accounts under this plan will become fully vested in the event of a change in control (as defined in the officer deferred compensation plan) or in the event that the participant’s service with us terminates as a result of death or disability. A participant in this plan may elect a single lump-sum payment of his or her account, or may elect payments over time; however, the participant’s entire account balance will be paid in a single lump sum following a change in control.

In connection with the distribution, deferred compensation obligations of Wyndham Worldwide employees thereunder will become our obligations under our new deferred compensation plan, and that a corresponding amount of assets held under a rabbi trust under the Cendant Deferred Compensation Plan will be transferred to a rabbi trust under our deferred compensation plan. We also expect to enter into an arrangement whereby we and each of the other separated companies, other than Avis Budget Group, Inc. and other than Travelport (if it is sold), will guarantee each other’s obligations (including Avis Budget Group, Inc.’s, but not Travelport’s if it is sold) under the applicable company’s respective officer deferred compensation plans for amounts deferred in respect of 2005 and earlier years.
