Legal Proceedings 36 Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K 36 Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These forward looking statements were based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements, include, but are not limited to: the resolution or outcome of the unresolved pending litigation relating to the previously announced accounting irregularities and other related litigation; uncertainty as to the Company's future profitability; the Company's ability to develop and implement operational and financial systems to manage rapidly growing operations; competition in the Company's existing and potential future lines of business; the Company's ability to integrate and operate successfully acquired and merged businesses and the risks associated with such businesses, including the acquisition of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. and Fairfield Communities, Inc.; uncertainty relating to the timing and impact of the proposed dispositions of certain businesses within the Move.com Group and Welcome Wagon International, Inc. and the spin-off of the Company's Individual Membership segment and loyalty business; the Company's ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms to finance the Company's growth strategy and for the Company to operate within the limitations imposed by financing arrangements and the effect of changes in current interest rates, particularly in our Mortgage and Real Estate Franchise segments. Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the derivation of these forward looking statements, and the failure of such other assumptions to be realized as well as other factors may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly correct or update these forward looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such forward looking statements or if the Company later becomes aware that they are not likely to be achieved.

CENDANT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, ALL AMOUNTS ARE IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Cendant Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). In management's opinion, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim periods. In addition, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. On October 25, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors committed to a plan to complete a tax-free spin-off of the Company's Individual Membership segment (consisting of Cendant Membership Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary) and loyalty business (consisting of Cendant Incentives, formerly National Card Control Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary within the Insurance/Wholesale segment) through a special dividend to CD common stockholders. In connection with the planned spin-off, the account balances and activities of the Company's Individual Membership segment were segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 5 - Discontinued Operations). On March 21, 2000, the Company's stockholders approved a proposal authorizing a new series of common stock to track the performance of the Move.com Group, a group of businesses which provide a broad range of quality relocation, real estate, and home-related products and services through its flagship portal site, move.com, and through the move.com network. The Company's existing common stock was reclassified as CD common stock, which reflects the performance of the Company's other businesses and also a retained interest in the Move.com Group (collectively referred to as the "Cendant Group"). In addition, the Company's charter was amended and restated to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 2.0 billion to 2.5 billion, comprised of 2.0 billion shares of CD common stock and 500 million shares of Move.com common stock. Although the issuance of Move.com common stock is intended to track the performance of the Move.com Group, holders are subject to all of the risks associated with an investment in the Company and all of its businesses, assets and liabilities. The Company has issued shares of Move.com common stock in several private financings. See Note 12 - Stockholders' Equity for a description of those transactions. On October 27, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell certain businesses within its Move.com Group segment, as well as certain other businesses (see Note 14 - Subsequent Events). Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. 2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY On January 1, 2000, the Company revised certain revenue recognition policies regarding the recognition of non-refundable one-time fees and the recognition of pro rata refundable subscription revenue as a result of the adoption of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The Company previously recognized non-refundable one-time fees at the time of contract execution and cash receipt. This policy was changed to the recognition of non-refundable one-time fees on a straight line basis over the life of the underlying contract. The Company previously recognized pro rata refundable subscription revenue equal to procurement costs upon initiation of a subscription. Additionally, the amount in excess of procurement costs was recognized over the subscription period. This policy was 4

changed to the recognition of pro rata refundable subscription revenue on a straight line basis over the subscription period. Procurement costs will continue to be expensed as incurred. The adoption of SAB No. 101 also resulted in a non-cash charge of approximately $89 million ($56 million, after tax) on January 1, 2000 to account for the cumulative effect of the accounting change. The percentage of annual revenues earned from non-refundable one-time fees and from pro rata refundable subscription revenue is not material to the Company's consolidated net revenues or to its consolidated income from continuing operations. 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 was previously amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years commencing after June 15, 2000. The Company has appointed a team to implement these standards on an enterprise-wide basis. The Company has identified certain contracts, which contain embedded derivatives, and additional freestanding derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133. Completion of the Company's implementation plan and determination of the impact of adopting these standards is expected by the end of the fourth quarter of 2000. Since the impact is dependent upon market fluctuations and the notional value of such contracts at the time of adoption, the impact of adopting these standards is not fully determinable. However, the Company currently does not anticipate material changes to any of its existing hedging strategies as a result of such adoption. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 138 concurrently with SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001, as required. In October 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125." SFAS No. 140 revises criteria for accounting for securitizations, other financial-asset transfers, and collateral and introduces new disclosures, but otherwise carries forward most of the provisions of SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" without amendment. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 140 on December 31, 2000, as required. 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated using both the basic and diluted methods. Basic EPS reflects the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period exclusive of non-vested shares. Diluted EPS further reflects all potentially dilutive securities only if the impact is dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities include the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants, non-vested shares, convertible debt and other common stock equivalents (collectively, "common stock equivalents"). Furthermore, EPS for periods after March 31, 2000, the date of the original issuance of Move.com common stock, has been calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock according to the related earnings participation rights. CD COMMON STOCK Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to CD common stock (including Cendant Group's retained interest in Move.com Group) by the weighted average number of shares of CD common stock outstanding during the period, exclusive of non-vested shares. Diluted EPS further reflects the effects of dilutive common stock equivalents. At September 30, 2000, stock options of 109 million (with a weighted average exercise price of $22.41 per option) and stock warrants of 31 million (with a weighted average exercise price of $22.91 per warrant) were antidilutive. At September 30, 1999, stock options of 59 million (with a weighted average exercise price of $25.50 per option) and stock warrants of 2 million (with a weighted average exercise price of $21.31 per warrant) were antidilutive. Therefore, such options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. In addition, the Company's FELINE PRIDES ("PRIDES"), which provide for the distribution of CD common stock shares in February 2001, were antidilutive at September 30, 2000 and 1999 and therefore also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. 5

MOVE.COM COMMON STOCK Basic EPS is calculated by dividing (a) the product of the earnings applicable to Move.com Group multiplied by the outstanding Move.com "fraction" by (b) the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The Move.com "fraction" is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Move.com common stock outstanding and the denominator of which is the number of shares that, if issued, would represent 100% of the equity (and would include the 22,500,000 notional shares of Move.com common stock representing Cendant Group's retained interest in Move.com Group) in the earnings or losses of Move.com Group. Diluted EPS further reflects the effects of dilutive common stock equivalents. At September 30, 2000, stock options of 6 million (with a weighted average exercise price of $18.48 per option) and stock warrants of 2 million (with a weighted average exercise price of $96.12 per warrant) were antidilutive due to losses incurred by Move.com Group and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Income (loss) per common share from continuing operations was computed as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------ ------------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- CD COMMON STOCK Income from continuing operations: Cendant Group $ 202 $ 238 $ 498 $ 1,255 Cendant Group's retained interest in Move.com Group (12) (5) (43) (9) ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Income from continuing operations for basic EPS 190 233 455 1,246 Convertible debt interest, net of tax 3 3 8 9 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Income from continuing operations for diluted EPS $ 193 $ 236 $ 463 $ 1,255 =========== =========== =========== =========== Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 725 726 722 765 Dilutive securities Stock options, warrants and non-vested shares 16 36 23 36 Convertible debt 18 18 18 18 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Diluted 759 780 763 819 =========== =========== =========== =========== THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 2000 --------------- -------------- MOVE.COM COMMON STOCK Loss from continuing operations: Move.com Group $ (14) $ (47) Less: Cendant Group's retained interest in Move.com Group (12) (43) --------------- -------------- Loss from continuing operations for basic and diluted EPS $ (2) $ (4) =============== ============== Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic and Diluted (1) 4 4 =============== ============== ----------------- (1) Weighted average shares outstanding for the nine month period was calculated from the date of issuance of Move.com common stock (March 31, 2000) through September 30, 2000.

Basic and diluted loss per CD common share from the cumulative effect of an accounting change for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $0.08 and $0.07, respectively. 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On October 25, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors committed to a plan to complete a tax-free spin-off of the Company's Individual Membership segment and loyalty business through a special dividend to CD common stockholders. The final transaction is expected to close by mid-2001. Summarized financial data of discontinued operations are as follows: STATEMENTS OF INCOME: THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------------------ ------------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Net revenues $ 185 $ 261 $ 540 $ 703 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Income (loss) before income taxes $ 42 $ (46) $ 107 $ 3 Provision for (benefit from) income taxes 16 (22) 42 (3) ----------- ------------ ----------- ----------- Income (loss) from discontinued operations $ 26 $ (24) $ 65 $ 6 =========== =========== =========== =========== BALANCE SHEETS: SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, 2000 1999 ------------------- ------------------ Current assets $ 345 $ 357 Goodwill 161 164 Other assets 98 96 Total liabilities (767) (858) ------------------- ------------------ Net liabilities of discontinued operations $ (163) $ (241) =================== ================== For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company also recorded a gain (loss) on the sale of discontinued operations of ($7) million and $174 million, respectively, relating to certain other business units of the Company which were previously reported as discontinued operations. 6.

7. OTHER CHARGES (CREDITS) RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER UNUSUAL CHARGES First Quarter 2000 Charge. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company's management, with the appropriate level of authority, formally committed to various strategic initiatives. As a result of such initiatives, the Company incurred restructuring and other unusual charges ("Unusual Charges") of $106 million during the first quarter of 2000, of which $86 million is included in restructuring and other unusual charges and $20 million is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. The restructuring initiatives were aimed at improving the overall level of organizational efficiency, consolidating and rationalizing existing processes, reducing cost structures in the Company's underlying businesses and other related efforts. These initiatives primarily affected the Company's Travel and Insurance/Wholesale segments and its discontinued Individual Membership segment. The initiatives are expected to be substantially completed over the next six months. Liabilities associated with Unusual Charges are classified as a component of accounts payable and other current liabilities. The initial recognition of the Unusual Charges and the corresponding utilization from inception is summarized by category of expenditure as follows: BALANCE AT UNUSUAL CASH OTHER SEPTEMBER 30, CHARGES PAYMENTS REDUCTIONS 2000 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Personnel related $ 25 $ 17 $ - $ 8 Asset impairments and contract terminations 26 1 25 - Facility related 9 1 1 7 Other unusual charges 46 29 14 3 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total Unusual Charges 106 48 40 18 Reclassification for discontinued operations (20) (8) (10) (2) ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total Unusual Charges related to continuing operations $ 86 $ 40 $ 30 $ 16 ============= ============= ============= ============= Personnel related costs include severance resulting from the consolidation and relocation of business operations and certain corporate functions as well as other related costs. The Company formally communicated to 971 employees, representing a wide range of employee groups, as to their separation from the Company. As of September 30, 2000, approximately 770 employees were terminated. In connection with a change in the Company's strategic focus to an online business model, the Company recognized $23 million of asset impairments associated with the planned exit of a timeshare software development business and $3 million of other asset write-offs and various contract termination costs. Facility related costs consist of facility closures and lease obligations resulting from the consolidation and relocation of business operations. Other unusual charges include a $21 million charge to fund an irrevocable contribution to an independent technology trust responsible for the installation of a Company sponsored property management system, which will provide for integrated Web capabilities enabling lodging franchisees to maximize Internet opportunities. Additionally, the Company incurred other unusual charges of $11 million associated with executive terminations, $7 million principally related to the abandonment of certain computer system applications, $3 million related to stock option contract modifications and $4 million of other related costs. Liabilities remaining at September 30, 2000 consisted of personnel related costs, charges associated with facility closures and related lease obligations and other unusual charges. Third Quarter 2000 Charge. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company incurred charges of $3 million in connection with the postponement of the initial public offering of Move.com common stock. 1997 Charge. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, cash outlays of $1 million were applied against the 1997 merger-related and other unusual charges reserve for severance payments. As a result, the 1997 merger-related and other unusual charges reserve of $71 million at September 30, 2000 primarily relates to future severance payments, executive termination benefits and lease termination payments, which will be settled upon the resolution of related contingencies and in accordance with applicable lease installment plans. 8

LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AND RELATED COSTS On March 14, 2000, pursuant to a court order approving the previously disclosed PRIDES settlement, the Company issued approximately 25 million Rights with a calculated value of $11.71 per Right. Right holders may sell or exercise the Rights by delivering the Company three Rights together with two PRIDES in exchange for two new PRIDES (the "New PRIDES") for a period beginning upon distribution of the Rights and concluding upon expiration of the Rights (February 2001). The terms of the New PRIDES are the same as the original PRIDES, except that the conversion rate was revised and fixed so that, at the time of the issuance of the Rights, the New PRIDES had a value equal to $17.57 more than the original PRIDES. In connection with the issuance of the Rights, the Company recorded a non-cash credit of $41 million to litigation settlement and related costs during the first quarter of 2000, with a corresponding decrease to additional paid-in capital. The credit represented an adjustment related to the number of Rights to be issued, which was decreased by approximately 3 million, as such Rights were unclaimed and uncontested. On May 3, 2000, pursuant to the PRIDES settlement, the Company issued approximately 4 million additional PRIDES (the "Additional PRIDES"), with a face value of $50 per Additional PRIDES, and received approximately $91 million in cash proceeds related to the issuance of such securities. Only Additional Income PRIDES (having identical terms to the originally issued Income PRIDES) were issued, of which 3,619,374 were immediately converted into 3,619,374 New Income PRIDES and 380,626 remained Additional Income PRIDES. No Additional Growth PRIDES were issued in the offering. Upon the issuance of the Additional Income PRIDES, the Company recorded a reduction to stockholders' equity of $108 million equal to the value of the total future contract adjustment payments to be made. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company also incurred charges of $20 million in connection with litigation asserting claims associated with accounting irregularities in the former business units of CUC International Inc. ("CUC") and outside of the principal common stockholder class action lawsuit. 8. DEBT REDEMPTION In January 2000, the Company redeemed its outstanding 7 1/2% senior notes at a redemption price of 100.695% of par plus accrued interest. In connection with the redemption, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $4 million ($2 million, after tax). The loss consisted of the call premium and the write-off of deferred issuance costs. 9. SECURITIZATIONS During the second and third quarters of 2000, the Company entered into three separate financing agreements with Apple Ridge Funding LLC ("Apple Ridge"), a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity. Under the terms of these agreements, certain relocation receivables will be transferred for cash, on a revolving basis, to Apple Ridge until March 31, 2007. The Company retains a subordinated residual interest and the related servicing rights and obligations in the relocation receivables. At September 30, 2000, the Company was servicing $703 million of receivables under these agreements. 10. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED INTEREST IN A SUBSIDIARY In March 2000, a Company-formed limited liability corporation ("LLC") issued a mandatorily redeemable preferred interest ("Senior Preferred Interest") in exchange for $375 million in cash. The Senior Preferred Interest is classified as a mandatorily redeemable preferred interest in a subsidiary in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. The Senior Preferred Interest is mandatorily redeemable 15 years from the date of issuance and may be redeemed by the Company after 5 years, or earlier in certain circumstances. Distributions on the Senior Preferred Interest are based on the three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin (1.77%) and are reflected as minority interest in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. Simultaneous with the issuance of the Senior Preferred Interest, the Company transferred certain assets to the LLC. After the sale of the Senior Preferred Interest, the Company owned 100% of both the common interest and the junior preferred interest in the LLC. In the event of default, holders of the Senior Preferred Interest have certain liquidation preferences. 9

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES CLASS ACTION LITIGATION AND GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS Since the April 15, 1998 announcement of the discovery of accounting irregularities in the former business units of CUC, approximately 70 lawsuits claiming to be class actions, two lawsuits claiming to be brought derivatively on the Company's behalf and several individual lawsuits and arbitration proceedings have commenced in various courts and other forums against the Company and other defendants by or on behalf of persons claiming to have purchased or otherwise acquired securities or options issued by CUC or the Company between May 1995 and August 1998. The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey are also conducting investigations relating to the matters referenced above. As a result of the findings from the Company's internal investigations, the Company made all adjustments considered necessary by the Company, which are reflected in its previously filed restated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1998. On June 14, 2000, pursuant to an offer of settlement made by the Company, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Public Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings and Imposing a Cease and Desist Order. In such Order, the SEC found that the Company had violated certain financial reporting provisions of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and ordered the Company to cease and desist from committing any future violations of such provisions. No financial penalties were imposed against the Company. On December 7, 1999, the Company announced that it reached a preliminary agreement to settle the principal securities class action pending against the Company in the U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey (the "Settlement Agreement") brought on behalf of purchasers of all Cendant and CUC publicly traded securities, other than PRIDES, between May 1995 and August 1998. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company would pay the class members approximately $2.85 billion in cash. The definitive settlement document was approved by the U.S. District Court by order dated August 14, 2000. Certain parties in the class action have appealed the District Court's orders approving the plan of allocation of the settlement fund and awarding of attorneys' fees and expenses to counsel for the lead plaintiffs. No appeals challenging the fairness of the $2.85 billion settlement amount were filed. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has not issued a briefing schedule for the appeals. Accordingly, the Company will not be required to fund the settlement amount of $2.85 billion for some time. However, the Settlement Agreement required the Company to post collateral in the form of credit facilities and/or surety bonds by November 13, 2000. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for management's discussion regarding collateral arrangements under the Settlement Agreement. The settlement does not encompass all litigation asserting claims associated with the accounting irregularities. The Company does not believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the final outcome or resolution of these unresolved proceedings. An adverse outcome from such unresolved proceedings could be material with respect to earnings in any given reporting period. However, the Company does not believe that the impact of such unresolved proceedings should result in a material liability to the Company in relation to its consolidated financial position or liquidity. FLEET DISPOSITION The Company's Fleet segment disposition in June 1999 was structured as a tax-free reorganization and, accordingly, no tax provision was recorded on a majority of the gain. However, pursuant to a recent interpretive ruling, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has taken the position that similarly structured transactions do not qualify as tax-free reorganizations under the Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)(A). If the transaction is not considered a tax-free reorganization, the resultant incremental liability could range between $10 million and $170 million depending upon certain factors including utilization of tax attributes and contractual indemnification provisions. Notwithstanding the IRS interpretive ruling, the Company believes that, based upon analysis of current tax law, its position would prevail, if challenged. OTHER PENDING LITIGATION The Company is involved in pending litigation in the usual course of business. In the opinion of management, such other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 10

12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY CD COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS Repurchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company repurchased $306 million (approximately 18 million shares) of CD common stock under its common stock repurchase program. Strategic Alliance. In February 2000, pursuant to a previously announced strategic alliance, Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty Media") invested $400 million in cash to purchase 18 million shares of CD common stock and a two-year warrant to purchase approximately 29 million shares of CD common stock at an exercise price of $23.00 per share. In addition, in March 2000, Liberty Media's Chairman, John C. Malone, Ph.D., purchased one million shares of CD common stock for approximately $17 million in cash. MOVE.COM COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS NRT Incorporated Investment. On April 14, 2000, NRT Incorporated ("NRT") purchased 319,591 shares of Move.com common stock for $31.29 per share or approximately $10 million in cash. The Company owns $179 million of NRT convertible preferred stock, of which $21 million will be convertible, at the Company's option upon occurrence of certain events, into no more than 50% of NRT's common stock. Chatham Street Holdings, LLC Investment. In connection with the recapitalization of NRT in September 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Chatham Street Holdings, LLC ("Chatham") as consideration for certain amendments made with respect to the NRT franchise agreements, which amendments provided for additional payments of certain royalties to the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, Chatham was granted the right, until September 2001, to purchase 1,561,000 shares of Move.com common stock. On March 31, 2000, Chatham exercised this contractual right and purchased 1,561,000 shares of Move.com common stock for $16.02 per share or approximately $25 million in cash. In connection with such exercise, for every two shares of Move.com common stock purchased, Chatham received a warrant to purchase one share of Move.com common stock at a price equal to $64.08 per share and a warrant to purchase one share of Move.com common stock at a price equal to $128.16 per share. Also during March 2000, the Company invested $25 million in convertible preferred stock of WMC Finance Co. ("WMC"), an online provider of sub-prime mortgages and an affiliate of Chatham (which is convertible into 2,541,946 shares or approximately 12% of WMC's common stock at September 30, 2000), and was granted an option to purchase approximately 5 million shares of WMC common stock. Liberty Digital, Inc. Investment. On March 31, 2000, Liberty Digital, Inc. ("Liberty Digital") purchased 1,598,030 shares of Move.com common stock for $31.29 per share in exchange for consideration consisting of $10 million in cash and 813,215 shares of Liberty Digital Class A common stock valued at approximately $40 million. In the event Move.com common stock is not publicly traded by June 30, 2001, the Company will be required to exchange such shares for CD common stock. 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION Management evaluates each segment's performance based upon a modified earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and minority interest calculation. For this purpose, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before non-operating interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and minority interest, adjusted to exclude certain items, which are of a non-recurring or unusual nature and are not measured in assessing segment performance or are not segment specific. Prior to the third quarter of 2000, the historical operating results of Cendant Travel, a subsidiary which facilitates travel arrangements for the Company's travel-related and membership businesses, were included 11

within the Individual Membership segment. Beginning the third quarter of 2000, the operations of Cendant Travel began being managed as a component of the Travel segment. Accordingly, the operating results of Cendant Travel are reflected in the Travel segment for all periods presented. In connection with the Individual Membership segment being reported as discontinued operations, general corporate overhead previously allocated to the Individual Membership segment has been reclassified to the Diversified Services segment for all periods presented.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS DISPOSITION On October 27, 2000, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Homestore.com, Inc. ("Homestore") to sell its Internet real estate portal, move.com, certain other businesses within its Move.com Group segment and Welcome Wagon International, Inc. ("Welcome Wagon") (a wholly-owned subsidiary included within the Diversified Services segment) in exchange for approximately 26 million shares of Homestore common stock valued at approximately $761 million. The Company intends on allocating a portion of the Homestore common stock shares received to existing Move.com common stockholders and option holders. After such allocation, the Company expects to retain approximately 19 or 20 million shares of Homestore common stock. Consummation of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including Hart Scott Rodino anti-trust approval. Although no assurances can be given, the Company expects to complete the transaction during the first quarter of 2001. ACQUISITIONS Avis Group Holdings, Inc. On November 13, 2000, the Company announced that they entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. ("Avis") that are not currently owned by the Company at a price of $33.00 per share in cash. Approximately 26 million outstanding shares of Avis common stock, and options to purchase approximately 7.9 million additional shares, are not currently owned by the Company. Accordingly, the transaction is valued at approximately $935 million, net of option proceeds. The acquisition will be made by PHH Corporation ("PHH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. PHH will distribute the consumer car rental business, Avis Rent a Car, to a Company subsidiary not within PHH's ownership structure. After the acquisition and the distribution of the consumer car rental business, PHH will own and operate the Vehicle Management and Leasing business as well as the Wright Express fuel card business. The merger is conditioned upon, among other things, approval of a majority of the votes cast by Avis stockholders who are unaffiliated with the Company and also customary regulatory approvals. Although no assurances can be given, the Company expects the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2001. Fairfield Communities, Inc. On November 2, 2000, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Fairfield Communities, Inc. ("Fairfield") to acquire all of its outstanding common stock at $15 per share, or approximately $635 million in aggregate. The final acquisition price may increase to a maximum of $16 per share depending upon a formula based on the average trading price of CD common stock over a twenty trading day period prior to the date on which Fairfield stockholders meet to approve the transaction. At least 50% of the consideration will be in cash and the balance will either be in cash or CD common stock, at the Company's election. Consummation of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals. Although no assurances can be given, the Company expects to complete the acquisition in early 2001. 15. CONSOLIDATING CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION In connection with the issuance of Move.com common stock, the Company began disclosing separately, for financial reporting purposes, financial information for the Cendant Group and the Move.com Group. Cendant Group provides various services to and receives various services from the Move.com Group. Inter-group revenues and expenses have been broken out seperately and self-eliminate in consolidation. ALLOCATION POLICIES Treasury Activities. Through March 31, 2000 (the date of original issuance of Move.com common stock), Cendant Group had provided all necessary funding for the operations and investments of the Move.com Group since inception and such funding had been accounted for as capital contributions from the Cendant Group. Accordingly, no interest charges from the Cendant Group were reflected in the accompanying Consolidating Condensed Statements of Income. Surplus cash, transferred from the Move.com Group to the Cendant Group from time to time, had been accounted for as a return of capital. Subsequent to March 31, 2000, all cash transfers from one group to or for the account of the other group are accounted for as inter-group revolving credit advances and may bear interest at a rate similar to the Company's prevailing revolving line of credit rate determined by the Company's Board of Directors, in its sole discretion. Revenues. Revenue allocations are supported by signed agreements between the Cendant Group and the Move.com Group and are intended to approximate the fair value of services provided. Expenses. Cendant Group allocates the cost of its corporate overhead services to the Move.com Group generally based on utilization. Where determinations based on utilization are impracticable, the Cendant Group uses percentages of revenues or other methods and criteria that management believes to be equitable and to provide a reasonable estimate of costs attributable to the Move.com Group. The allocations of corporate overhead to the Move.com Group are consistent with the allocations made to subsidiaries within the Cendant Group. Corporate overhead includes charges for legal, accounting (tax and financial), 13

information and telecommunications services, marketing, intellectual property, public relations, corporate offices and travel. Expenses, other than corporate overhead allocations, are allocated based upon utilization and usage volume. Income Taxes. Move.com Group is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Cendant Group. In addition, Move.com Group files unitary and combined state income tax returns with Cendant Group in jurisdictions where required. As such, income tax expense is allocated to Move.com Group in accordance with Cendant Group's tax allocation policy. ALLOCATIONS The allocations from the Cendant Group to the Move.com Group are comprised as follows: (a) revenues for selling advertising space and links on the Cendant Group real estate franchise systems Web sites, (b) revenues for Web site management associated with the Cendant Group's real estate franchise systems, (c) revenues associated with the Web site development of Welcome Wagon, (d) expenses for overhead charges, (e) expenses associated with an Internet engineering services agreement and (f) expenses associated with the Web site development Welcome Wagon. Additionally, portions of the benefit for income taxes and balance sheet accounts of Move.com Group are based on allocations from the Cendant Group. The consolidating condensed financial information, which includes certain allocations between the Cendant Group and the Move.com Group, is presented as follows: 14

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions. RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS REVENUES Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $110 million (10%) compared with the corresponding period in 1999 primarily due to the effects of non-strategic businesses disposed throughout 1999. Excluding the operating results of such dispositions, revenues increased $32 million (3%), which primarily reflected increased loan production in our mortgage business and an increase in service based fees from our relocation business, partially offset by a decline in revenues related to financial investment income. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $465 million (14%) compared with the corresponding period in 1999 due to the effects of non-strategic businesses disposed throughout 1999. Excluding the operating results of such dispositions, revenues increased $103 million (4%), which primarily reflected growth attributable to (i) an increase in real estate royalty fees, (ii) an increase in service based fees from our relocation business, (iii) an increase in sponsorship revenues due to our continued investment in the marketing of the move.com network and (iv) an increase in tax return volume and average fee per tax return; partially offset by a decline related to a decrease in mortgage volume. OTHER CHARGES (CREDITS) RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER UNUSUAL CHARGES First Quarter 2000 Charge. During the first quarter of 2000, management, with the appropriate level of authority, formally committed to various strategic initiatives. As a result of such initiatives, we incurred restructuring and other unusual charges ("Unusual Charges") of $106 million during the first quarter of 2000, of which $86 million is included in restructuring and other unusual charges and $20 million is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. The restructuring initiatives were aimed at improving the overall level of organizational efficiency, consolidating and rationalizing existing processes, reducing cost structures in our underlying businesses and other related efforts. These initiatives primarily affected our Travel and Insurance/Wholesale segments and our discontinued Individual Membership segment. The initiatives are expected to be substantially completed over the next six months. The initial recognition of the Unusual Charges and the corresponding utilization from inception is summarized by category of expenditure as follows: BALANCE AT UNUSUAL CASH OTHER SEPTEMBER 30, CHARGES PAYMENTS REDUCTIONS 2000 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Personnel related $ 25 $ 17 $ - $ 8 Asset impairments and contract terminations 26 1 25 - Facility related 9 1 1 7 Other unusual charges 46 29 14 3 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total Unusual Charges 106 48 40 18 Reclassification for discontinued operations (20) (8) (10) (2) ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total Unusual Charges related to continuing operations $ 86 $ 40 $ 30 $ 16 ============= ============= ============= ============= Personnel related costs include severance resulting from the consolidation and relocation of business operations and certain corporate functions as well as other related costs. We formally communicated to 971 employees, representing a wide range of employee groups, as to their separation from us. As of September 30, 2000, approximately 770 employees were terminated. In connection with a change in our strategic focus to an online business model, we recognized $23 million of asset impairments associated 19

with the planned exit of a timeshare software development business and $3 million of other asset write-offs and various contract termination costs. Facility related costs consist of facility closures and lease obligations resulting from the consolidation and relocation of business operations. Other unusual charges include a $21 million charge to fund an irrevocable contribution to an independent technology trust responsible for the installation of a property management system sponsored by us, which will provide for integrated Web capabilities enabling lodging franchisees to maximize Internet opportunities. Additionally, we incurred other unusual charges of $11 million associated with executive terminations, $7 million principally related to the abandonment of certain computer system applications, $3 million related to stock option contract modifications and $4 million of other related costs. The total Unusual Charges will require cash expenditures of approximately $62 million, expected to be spent primarily in 2000, and are anticipated to increase pre-tax income by approximately $25 million to $30 million annually, commencing in 2001. All cash requirements are expected to be funded from operations. Liabilities remaining at September 30, 2000 consisted of personnel related costs, charges associated with facility closures and related lease obligations and other unusual charges. Third Quarter 2000 Charge. During the third quarter of 2000, we incurred charges of $3 million in connection with the postponement of the initial public offering of Move.com common stock. 1997 Charge. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, cash outlays of $1 million were applied against the 1997 merger-related and other unusual charges reserve for severance payments. As a result, the 1997 merger-related and other unusual charges reserve of $71 million at September 30, 2000 primarily relates to future severance payments, executive termination benefits and lease termination payments, which will be settled upon the resolution of related contingencies and in accordance with applicable lease installment plans. LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AND RELATED COSTS In connection with the issuance of Rights on March 14, 2000 under the FELINE PRIDES ("PRIDES") settlement, we recorded a non-cash credit of $41 million during the first quarter of 2000. The credit represented an adjustment related to the number of Rights to be issued, which was decreased by approximately 3 million, as such Rights were unclaimed and uncontested. For a detailed discussion regarding the issuance of Rights pursuant to the PRIDES settlement, see Note 7 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. During the third quarter of 2000, we also incurred charges of $20 million in connection with litigation asserting claims associated with accounting irregularities in the former business units of CUC International Inc. ("CUC") and outside of the principal common stockholder class action lawsuit. INTEREST, NET AND MINORITY INTEREST, NET OF TAX Interest, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $13 million (25%) and $68 million (44%), respectively, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average debt balance outstanding, partially offset by $20 million of interest expense incurred on the common stockholder litigation settlement. Minority interest, net of tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $7 million (44%) and $15 million (33%), respectively, primarily due to the May 2000 issuance of Additional PRIDES and the March 2000 issuance of a mandatorily redeemable preferred interest in a subsidiary. For a detailed discussion regarding the Additional PRIDES and the mandatorily redeemable preferred interest, see Notes 7 and 10, respectively, to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased to 29.0% from 40.0% in 1999. Such change is attributable to higher income taxes provided on net gains on certain businesses which were disposed of in the third quarter of 1999 and also the recognition in 2000 of a portion of the deferred gain on the disposition of our former Fleet segment that was treated as a tax-free reorganization. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to 31.4% from 23.0% in 1999. Such change is attributable to the June 1999 disposition of our former Fleet segment. 20

INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS Income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $45 million (19%) compared with the corresponding period in 1999 primarily as a result of: o the 1999 net gain on dispositions of businesses ($32 million), o the impact of operating results from disposed businesses ($15 million) o an increase in other charges ($12 million) and o an increase in minority interest ($7 million); partially offset by: o the 2000 net gain on dispositions of businesses ($15 million) and o a reduction in interest expense ($8 million). Income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $796 million (64%) compared with the corresponding period in 1999 primarily as a result of: o the 1999 net gain on dispositions of businesses ($720 million), o the impact of operating results from disposed businesses ($51 million), o an increase in other charges ($24 million) and o an increase in minority interest ($15 million); partially offset by: o a reduction in interest expense ($43 million) and o the 2000 net gain on dispositions of businesses ($9 million). DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On October 25, 2000, our Board of Directors committed to a plan to complete a tax-free spin-off of our Individual Membership segment (consisting of Cendant Membership Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary) and loyalty business (consisting of Cendant Incentives, formerly National Card Control Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary included within our Insurance/Wholesale segment) through a special dividend to CD common stockholders. In connection with the planned spin-off, the account balances and activities of our Individual Membership segment were segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The final transaction is expected to close by mid-2001. CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE On January 1, 2000, we revised certain revenue recognition policies regarding the recognition of non-refundable one-time fees and the recognition of pro rata refundable subscription revenue as a result of the adoption of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." We previously recognized non-refundable one-time fees at the time of contract execution and cash receipt. This policy was changed to the recognition of non-refundable one-time fees on a straight line basis over the life of the underlying contract. We previously recognized pro rata refundable subscription revenue equal to procurement costs upon initiation of a subscription. Additionally, the amount in excess of procurement costs was recognized over the subscription period. This policy was changed to the recognition of pro rata refundable subscription revenue on a straight line basis over the subscription period. Procurement costs will continue to be expensed as incurred. The adoption of SAB No. 101 also resulted in a non-cash charge of approximately $89 million ($56 million, after tax) on January 1, 2000 to account for the cumulative effect of the accounting change. 21

RESULTS OF REPORTABLE OPERATING SEGMENTS The underlying discussions of each segment's operating results focuses on Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before non-operating interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and minority interest, adjusted to exclude certain items, which are of a non-recurring or unusual nature and are not measured in assessing segment performance or are not segment specific. Our management believes such discussions are the most informative representation of how management evaluates performance. However, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. Prior to the third quarter of 2000, the historical operating results of Cendant Travel, our subsidiary which facilitates travel arrangements for our travel-related and membership businesses, were included within the Individual Membership segment. Beginning in the third quarter of 2000, the operations of Cendant Travel began being managed as a component of our Travel segment. Accordingly, the operating results of Cendant Travel are reflected in the Travel segment for all periods presented. In connection with the Individual Membership segment being reported as discontinued operations, general corporate overhead previously allocated to the Individual Membership segment has been reclassified to the Diversified Services segment for all periods presented.

(1) Excludes $8 million of losses related to the dispositions of businesses. (2) Excludes charges of $3 million in connection with the postponement of the initial public offering of Move.com common stock. (3) Excludes (i) a loss of $24 million related to the dispositions of businesses, (ii) $20 million in connection with litigation asserting claims associated with accounting irregularities in the former business units of CUC International, Inc. and outside of the principal common stockholder class action lawsuit and (iii) $7 million for investigation-related costs; partially offset by a gain of $35 million, which represents the recognition of a portion of our previously recorded deferred gain from the sale of our fleet businesses due to the disposition of VMS Europe by Avis Group Holdings, Inc. in August 2000. (4) Excludes a net gain of $83 million related to the dispositions of businesses, partially offset by $5 million of investigation-related costs and a $5 million charge principally related to the consolidation of European call centers in Cork, Ireland. TRAVEL Revenues increased $9 million (3%) while Adjusted EBITDA increased $1 million (1%) in third quarter 2000 compared with third quarter 1999. Royalties from our franchise business increased $5 million (5%) principally due to a 3% increase in available rooms and a 3% increase in the average daily room rate within our lodging business and a 3% increase in the volume of car rental transactions at Avis Group Holdings, Inc. ("Avis"). Our common equity interest in Avis, which is approximately 18% and accounted for under the equity method, resulted in equity in earnings of $8 million and $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Timeshare subscription and exchange fees grew $8 million (9%) primarily due to a 3% growth in memberships, a 3% increase in exchange volume, and an 8% increase in the 22

average fee per exchange. The favorable operations of our Travel segment were partially offset by a collective $11 million reduction in the recognition of preferred alliance access fees and timeshare subscription revenues in third quarter 2000 compared to third quarter 1999, due primarily to the January 1, 2000 implementation of SAB 101. Adjusted EBITDA in third quarter 2000 also reflects a net reduction from the timing of cost allocations to the lodging brands' national advertising funds and additional corporate overhead allocations. The increase in corporate overhead allocations resulted from a refinement of allocation methods in 2000 due to our significant divestitures in 1999. Excluding the impact of non-recurring items, comprised of SAB 101 and the net increase in allocations, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $20 million (6%) and $16 million (10%), respectively, in third quarter 2000 compared with third quarter 1999. REAL ESTATE FRANCHISE Revenues increased $1 million (1%) while EBITDA decreased $5 million (4%) in third quarter 2000 compared with third quarter 1999. Royalties and initial franchise fees for the CENTURY 21 (Registered Trademark), COLDWELL BANKER (Registered Trademark) and ERA(Registered Trademark) franchise brands remained constant quarter over quarter. An 8% reduction in home sale volume was offset by a 9% increase in the average price of homes sold. While our results reflected soft industry-wide conditions early in the third quarter 2000, we continued to add franchised brokerages to our brands' systems. The volume of annual commission revenue added by franchise sales in third quarter 2000 was 10% higher than in third quarter 1999. Conversely, growth has been moderated by modestly declining volume and significantly reduced acquisition activity at our largest franchisee, NRT Incorporated. The EBITDA reduction includes a $3 million increase in corporate overhead allocations due to a refinement of allocation methods used in 2000 compared to 1999 and also reflects $2 million of increased costs for enhanced franchisee training programs. RELOCATION Revenues and EBITDA increased $10 million (9%) and $7 million (17%), respectively, in third quarter 2000 compared with third quarter 1999 and the EBITDA margin grew from 36% to 39% for the comparable periods. Revenues and EDITDA reflect a continuing trend in our business operations from asset based to service based. Higher service based fees in third quarter 2000 versus third quarter 1999 include increases in (i) outsourcing fees of $3 million as a result of expanded services, (ii) international service fees of $3 million as a result of increased marketing and sales efforts, and (iii) referral fees of $4 million. Partially offsetting the increase in service fee revenues was a decline in corporate and government homesale closings and the related management fees, which contributed reductions in revenue and EBITDA of $3 million and $5 million, respectively, in third quarter 2000 versus third quarter 1999. Revenues and EBITDA also reflect $4 million of improved net interest income in third quarter 2000 compared with third quarter 1999. MORTGAGE Revenues and EBITDA increased $18 million (16%) and $15 million, (25%), respectively, in third quarter 2000 compared with the third quarter 1999, principally as a result of increased revenues from loan production. Revenues from mortgage loans closed increased $18 million due to favorable production margins. Accordingly, the average production fee increased 28 basis points in third quarter 2000 compared with third quarter 1999. Total mortgage closings for third quarter 2000 amounted to $6.5 billion, which was equal to the comparable prior year quarter. Purchase mortgage closings, however increased by $278 million (5%) while refinancing volume decreased by $287 million (41%). Retail purchase mortgages, which are loans where we interact directly with the consumer, increased $225 million to $4.9 billion. Retail mortgage lending has been our primary focus and accounted for more than 80% of loan volume in third quarter 2000. Moreover, we ranked as the fourth largest retail mortgage lender by the National Mortgage News(TM) for the second quarter of 2000, the latest period for which data are available. Mortgage closings from our Internet business, known as Log-In, Move-In, amounted to $183 million in third quarter 2000, compared with $73 million in third quarter 1999. Revenues generated by our servicing portfolio remained relatively level with last year despite a $17 billion (36%) increase in the average servicing portfolio, principally because of higher servicing amortization and interest expenses and lower revenues from mortgage insurance. The EBITDA margin increased from 52% in third quarter 1999 to 56% in third quarter 2000. The increase in EBITDA and EBITDA margin resulted principally from the increase in the average production fee on mortgage originations. As we had anticipated, market conditions improved in third quarter 2000 which produced more positive margin comparisons. The amount of loans in process at September 30, 2000 was 13% higher than at September 30, 1999. Although no assurances can be made, we continue to expect period-over-period market conditions to improve in the fourth quarter of the year. 23

INSURANCE/WHOLESALE Revenues increased $2 million (1%) in third quarter 2000 compared with third quarter 1999 while EBITDA remained flat for the comparable periods. The increase in revenues was principally attributable to international expansion. There was a 17% increase in international memberships quarter over quarter. MOVE.COM GROUP Move.com Group is our Internet real estate services portal which was launched in January 2000. Revenues increased $10 million to $15 million in third quarter 2000, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $12 million to a loss of $20 million for the same period. The increase in revenues principally reflects a significant increase in sponsorship revenues made possible by the portal's launch. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA reflects our increased investment in marketing and development of the move.com network. DIVERSIFIED SERVICES Revenues decreased $158 million while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $37 million in third quarter 2000 compared with third quarter 1999. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily as a result of the 1999 dispositions of several business operations. The operating results of divested businesses, which were included through their respective disposition dates in 1999 contributed revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of $139 million and $27 million in 1999. Additionally, reductions in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA resulted from a quarter over quarter decline in financial investment income and costs incurred during third quarter 2000 to pursue Internet initiatives through our Cendant Internet Group subsidiary.

(1) Excludes $12 million of losses related to the dispositions of businesses. (2) Excludes charges of $3 million in connection with the postponement of the initial public offering of Move.com common stock. (3) Excludes (i) a non-cash credit of $41 million in connection with a change in the original estimate of the number of Rights to be issued in connection with the PRIDES settlement resulting from unclaimed and uncontested Rights and (ii) a gain of $35 million, which represents the recognition of a portion of our previously recorded deferred gain from the sale of our fleet businesses due to the disposition of VMS Europe and Avis Group Holdings, Inc. in August 2000; partially offset by (i) $30 million of losses related to the dispositions of businesses, (ii) $15 million of investigation-related costs and (iii) $20 million in connection with litigation asserting claims associated with accounting irregularities in the former business units of CUC and outside of the principal common stockholder class action lawsuit. (4) Excludes a charge of $23 million in connection with the transition of the Company's lodging franchisees to a Company sponsored property management system. (5) Excludes a net gain of $799 million related to the dispositions of businesses and an unusual credit of $1 million recorded in connection with the sale of a Company subsidiary, partially offset by (i) $13 million of investigation-related costs, (ii) a $7 million charge related to the termination of a proposed acquisition and (iii) $5 million principally related to the consolidation of European call centers in Cork, Ireland. TRAVEL Revenues increased $6 million (1%) while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $23 million (5%) in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999. Royalties from our franchise business increased $9 million (3%), principally due to a 4% increase in available rooms within our lodging business and a 3% increase in the volume of car rental transactions at Avis. Timeshare exchange revenues grew $8 million (5%) primarily due 24

to a 6% increase in the average exchange fee. Timeshare subscription revenues increased $3 million (3%) period over period, despite the impact of SAB 101, which resulted in a $6 million reduction in timeshare subscription revenues. In addition, preferred alliance access fees were $7 million lower in nine months 2000 compared with the prior year period primarily due to SAB 101. Contributing to the Adjusted EBITDA reduction in nine months 2000 was an additional $13 million of corporate overhead allocations. The increase in overhead allocations resulted from a refinement of allocation methods in 2000 due to our significant divestitures in 1999. Other contributing factors to the Adjusted EBITDA reduction was the recognition in nine months 2000 of $3 million of obligations relating to a prior acquisition and $6 million of initial franchise fees received during nine months 1999 in connection with the generation of a master license agreement and joint venture within our timeshare business. Additionally, $11 million of gains were recognized in nine months 1999 associated with the sale of a portion of our common equity interest in Avis and incremental dividend income of $10 million was recognized in nine months 2000 from our preferred stock investment in Avis. Our common equity interest in Avis, which is approximately 18% and accounted for under the equity method, resulted in equity in earnings of $14 million and $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Excluding the impact of non-recurring items, comprised of SAB 101, the increase in corporate allocations and the 1999 gains on sale of Avis stock, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $30 million (3%) and $14 million (3%), respectively, in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999. REAL ESTATE FRANCHISE Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $31 million (7%) and $18 million (6%), respectively, in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999. Royalty fees for the CENTURY 21(Registered Trademark), COLDWELL BANKER (Registered Trademark) and ERA(Registered Trademark) franchise brands collectively increased $25 million (7%). In addition, initial franchise fees increased $4 million (48%) primarily from the sale of international franchise agreements. Industry statistics provided by the National Association of Realtors for the eight months ended August 31, 2000 (the latest period for which information is available) indicate that the number of homes sold has declined by 5% versus the prior year, while the average price of those homes sold has increased 4%. We have out-performed such industry statistics as our homesale transactions decreased only 4% while the average price of such homesale transactions increased by more than 11%. This was accomplished through a combination of homesales through existing franchised brokerages and new franchises added during the period. Corporate overhead allocations were $7 million higher in nine months 2000 due to a refinement of allocation methods used in 2000 compared to 1999. In addition, broker services related expenses increased $4 million in nine months 2000 principally due to increased costs for enhanced franchisee training programs. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin decreased only 1% despite the aforementioned increases in expenses. Increases in royalties and franchise fees are recognized with minimal corresponding increases in expenses due to our significant operating leverage within our franchise operations. Excluding the increase in corporate allocations, the Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 1 percentage point to 75% in nine months 2000 compared with 74% for the prior year period. RELOCATION Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $17 million (5%) and $11 million (12%), respectively, in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999 and the Adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 30% to 32% for the comparable periods. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA reflect a continuing trend in our business operations from asset based to service based. Higher service based fees for nine months 2000 versus nine months 1999 including increases in: (i) outsourcing fees of $9 million as a result of expanded services; (ii) international fees of $7 million as a result of increased marketing and sales efforts and; (iii) referral and other ancillary service fees of $10 million. Partially offsetting the increase in service fee revenues was a decline in corporate and government homesale closings and the related management fees which contributed reductions in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of $10 million and $16 million, respectively, in third quarter 2000 versus third quarter 1999. Also contributing to increases in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA was $8 million of improved net interest income in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999. In addition, a $7 million gain was recognized in nine months 1999 on the sale of a minority interest in an insurance subsidiary. On a comparable basis, excluding the non-recurring gain, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $24 million (8%) and $18 million (21%), respectively, in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999. MORTGAGE Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $8 million (3%) and $36 million (24%), respectively in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999. The impact on Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA from a $4.8 25

billion (23%) reduction in mortgage loan closings was offset by an increase in the average production fee. The average production fee increased 29 basis points (25%) in nine months 2000 compared to the prior year period due to a reduction in the direct cost per loan. Mortgage loan closings for nine months 2000 were $16.3 billion, consisting of $15.1 billion in purchase mortgages and $1.2 billion in refinancing mortgages. The decline in loans closed in nine months 2000 is substantially a result of a $4.6 billion reduction in mortgage refinancing volume due to the unprecedented industry-wide refinancing activity in 1999. Purchase mortgage closings in our retail lending business amounted to $12.6 billion in nine months 2000 and 1999. Mortgage closings from our Internet business, known as Log-In, Move-In, amounted to $587 million in nine months 2000, compared with $165 million in nine months 1999. Loan servicing revenues in 1999 included a $9 million gain on the sale of servicing rights. Excluding such gain, recurring loan servicing revenue increased $11 million (18%) in nine months 2000 compared to nine months 1999. The increase in loan servicing revenues was principally attributable to a corresponding increase in the average servicing portfolio which grew approximately $12.7 billion (28%) in nine months 2000 versus the prior year period. The Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased from 49% in nine months 1999 to 38% in nine months 2000. The decline in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin resulted principally from increased expenses to market to the real estate Phone-In Move-In offices and salary and infrastructure expenses incurred in the first half of 2000 which were not fully utilized. As we anticipated, market conditions improved in third quarter 2000, and we continue to expect improvement of our operating results in fourth quarter 2000 versus fourth quarter 1999. INSURANCE/WHOLESALE Revenues increased $9 million (2%) in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999. Adjusted EBITDA increased $1 million (1%) over the same period. The increase in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA was principally attributable to international expansion. International revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $8 million and $3 million, respectively, primarily due to a 20% increase in memberships. Also, the quarter over quarter impact of a decrease in marketing expense resulting from longer amortization periods for certain customer acquisition costs was substantially offset by costs incurred during nine months 2000 related to a consolidation of domestic operations in Nashville, Tennessee. The consolidation of such domestic operations is expected to generate significant expense savings in future periods. The Adjusted EBITDA margin remained constant at 32% for the comparable nine month periods. MOVE.COM GROUP Revenues increased $30 million to $41 million in nine months 2000, while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $60 million to a loss of $74 million for the same period. These results reflect a significant increase in sponsorship revenues made possible by the portal's launch and our increased investment in marketing and development of the portal. DIVERSIFIED SERVICES Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $341 million and $4 million, respectively in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999. Revenues decreased primarily as a result of the 1999 dispositions of several business operations. The operating results of divested businesses were included through their respective disposition dates in 1999. The absence of such divested businesses from nine months 2000 operations resulted in a reduction in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA of $360 million and $25 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of divested businesses on nine months 1999 operating results, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $16 million and $15 million, respectively, in nine months 2000. Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increases were partially due to the favorable operating results from our Jackson Hewitt tax preparation franchise business. Jackson Hewitt, which experienced a 25% increase in year over year tax return volume, contributed an incremental $14 million and $18 million to revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively in nine months 2000 compared with nine months 1999. During nine months 2000 we incurred expenses of $16 million to pursue Internet initiatives through our Cendant Internet Group. Such expenses were partially offset by $8 million of incremental income recognized from financial investments. FLEET On June 30, 1999, we completed the disposition of our Fleet segment for aggregate consideration of $1.8 billion. Revenues and EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, were $207 million and $81 million, respectively. 26

RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 In the third quarter of 2000, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for Individual Membership decreased $76 million (29%) and $5 million (10%), respectively, compared with the third quarter of 1999, while the Adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 18% to 23% quarter-over-quarter. The 1999 dispositions of certain business units and the formation of Netmarket Group, Inc. ("NGI") as an independent company in 1999 collectively contributed $61 million to the decrease in revenues with no impact to Adjusted EBITDA. On a comparable basis, excluding the operations of such divested businesses, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $15 million (8%) and $5 million (10%), respectively, while the Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased from 24% to 23% quarter-over-quarter. The net decline in both revenues and Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects fewer annual memberships expiring in the third quarter of 2000 than in the third quarter of 1999 (since revenues are recorded upon expiration of the membership term). Such decline was partially offset by a favorable mix of products and programs with marketing partners. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, revenues decreased $163 million (23%) compared with the nine months ended September 30, 1999, while Adjusted EBITDA increased $68 million (100%) over the same period. The Adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 25% in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from 10% in the corresponding period for 1999. The 1999 dispositions of certain business units and the formation of NGI as an independent company collectively contributed $171 million to the period-over-period decrease in revenues and $15 million to the period-over-period increase in Adjusted EBITDA. On a comparable basis, excluding the operating results of such divested businesses, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $8 million (2%) and $53 million (64%), respectively. The Adjusted EBITDA margin increased substantially as fewer annual memberships expired in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 than in the corresponding period for 1999, reflecting our strategy in 2000 to focus principally on profitability within this business by carefully targeting our marketing efforts and reducing expenses incurred to reach potential new members. We reduced our solicitation spending by $26 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared with the corresponding period for 1999. In addition, we experienced a favorable mix of products and programs with marketing partners, which further contributed to revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth. Also, the sale of certain referral agreements with car dealers resulted in an additional $8 million of revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in 2000. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Based upon cash flows provided by our operations and access to liquidity through various other sources, including public debt and equity markets and financial institutions, we have sufficient liquidity to fund our current business plans. Activities of our management and mortgage programs are autonomous and distinct from our other activities. Therefore, management believes it is more useful to review the debt financing and cash flows of management and mortgage programs separately from the debt financing and cash flows of our other activities. We continually explore and conduct discussions with regard to acquisitions and other strategic corporate transactions in our industries and in other franchise, franchisable or service businesses in addition to the transactions previously announced. As part of this regular on-going evaluation of acquisition opportunities, we currently are engaged in a number of separate, unrelated preliminary discussions concerning possible acquisitions. The purchase price for the possible acquisitions may be paid in cash, through the issuance of CD common stock (which would increase the number of shares of CD common stock) or other of our securities, borrowings, or a combination thereof. Prior to consummating any such possible acquisition, we will need to, among other things, initiate and complete satisfactorily our due diligence investigations; negotiate the financial and other terms (including price) and conditions of such acquisitions; obtain appropriate Board of Directors, regulatory and other necessary consents and approvals; and, if necessary, secure financing. No assurance can be given with respect to the timing, likelihood or business effect of any possible transaction. In the past, we have been involved in both relatively small acquisitions and acquisitions which have been significant. 27

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS ACQUISITIONS On November 13, 2000, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. ("Avis") that are not currently owned by us at a price of $33.00 per share in cash. Approximately 26 million outstanding shares of Avis common stock, and options to purchase approximately 7.9 million additional shares, are not currently owned by us. Accordingly, the transaction is valued at approximately $935 million, net of option proceeds. We anticipate that more than 50% of the purchase price will be financed from new borrowings available to us and to PHH Corporation ("PHH"), our wholly-owned subsidiary, and expect that the remaining amount will be provided either from available cash or from the issuance of CD common stock. However, the actual funding for the acquisition will be finalized before the closing of the transaction. The acquisition will be made by PHH. PHH will distribute the consumer car rental business, Avis Rent a Car, to one of our subsidiaries not within PHH's ownership structure. After the acquisition and the distribution of the consumer car rental business, PHH will own and operate the Vehicle Management and Leasing business as well as the Wright Express fuel card business. The merger is conditioned upon, among other things, approval of a majority of the votes cast by Avis stockholders who are unaffiliated with us and also customary regulatory approvals. Although no assurances can be given, we expect the transaction to close in first quarter of 2001. On November 2, 2000, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement with Fairfield Communities, Inc. ("Fairfield") to acquire all of its outstanding common stock at $15 per share, or approximately $635 million in aggregate. The final acquisition price may increase to a maximum of $16 per share depending upon a formula based on the average trading price of CD common stock over a twenty trading day period prior to the date on which Fairfield stockholders meet to approve the transaction. At least 50% of the consideration will be in cash and the balance will either be in cash or CD common stock, at our election. Consummation of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals. Although no assurances can be given, we expect to complete the acquisition in early 2001. DISPOSITIONS On October 27, 2000, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement with Homestore.com, Inc. ("Homestore") to sell our Internet real estate portal, move.com, certain other businesses within our Move.com Group segment and Welcome Wagon International, Inc., (a subsidiary within our Diversified Services segment) in exchange for approximately 26 million shares of Homestore common stock valued at approximately $761 million. We intend on allocating a portion of the Homestore common stock shares received to existing Move.com common stockholders and option holders. After such allocation, we expect to retain approximately 19 or 20 million shares of Homestore common stock. Consummation of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including Hart Scott Rodino anti-trust approval. Although no assurances can be given, we expect to complete the transaction during the first quarter of 2001. On October 25, 2000, our Board of Directors committed to a plan to complete a tax-free spin-off of our Individual Membership segment and loyalty business through a special dividend to CD common stockholders. The final transaction is expected to close by mid-2001. CLASS ACTION LITIGATION SETTLEMENT On December 7, 1999, we announced that we reached a preliminary agreement to settle the principal securities class action pending against us in the U.S. District Court in Newark, New Jersey (the "Settlement Agreement") brought on behalf of purchasers of all Cendant and CUC publicly traded securities, other than PRIDES, between May 1995 and August 1998. Under the Settlement Agreement, we would pay the class members approximately $2.85 billion in cash. The definitive settlement document was approved by the U.S. District Court by order dated August 14, 2000. Certain parties in the class action have appealed the District Court's orders approving the plan of allocation of the settlement fund and awarding of attorneys' fees and expenses to counsel for the lead plaintiffs. No appeals challenging the fairness of the $2.85 billion settlement amount were filed. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has not issued a briefing schedule for the appeals. Accordingly, we will not be required to fund the settlement amount of $2.85 billion for some time. However, the Settlement Agreement required us to post collateral in the form of credit facilities and/or surety bonds by November 13, 2000. Accordingly, on November 13, 2000, we posted a surety bond in the amount of $790 million and letters of credit aggregating $1.71 billion. We also had the option of forming a trust established for the benefit of the plaintiffs in lieu of posting collateral. On November 13, 2000, we funded such trust with a cash deposit of approximately $350 million. Such deposit will serve to reduce the amount of collateral required to be posted under the Settlement Agreement. See Debt Financing - Exclusive of Management and Mortgage Programs for further detail regarding the collateral arrangements in connection with the Settlement Agreement. The settlement does not encompass all litigation asserting claims associated with the accounting irregularities. We do not believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the final outcome or resolution of these unresolved proceedings. An adverse outcome from such unresolved proceedings could be material with respect to earnings in any given reporting period. However, we do not believe that the impact of such unresolved 28

proceedings should result in a material liability to us in relation to our consolidated financial position or liquidity. DEBT FINANCING EXCLUSIVE OF MANAGEMENT AND MORTGAGE PROGRAMS At September 30, 2000, aggregate outstanding borrowings consisted of the following: 7 3/4% senior notes (1) $ 1,149 3% convertible subordinated notes (1) 548 Term loan facility 375 Other 2 -------- $ 2,074 ======== ---------- (1) Publicly issued fixed rate debt. During August 2000, we replaced our $1.0 billion, 364-day revolving credit facility with a $1.75 billion three-year competitive advance and revolving credit agreement maturing on August 29, 2003. Borrowings under this new agreement will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of approximately 60 basis points. In addition, we are required to pay a per annum facility fee of approximately 15 basis points and a 0.125% utilization fee of daily commitments above a certain threshold. The agreement also contains the committed capacity to issue up to $1.75 billion in letters of credit, which can be used as part of the collateral arrangements under the Settlement Agreement. We utilized $1.71 billion of the facility for this purpose at the time collateral was required to be posted under the Settlement Agreement. The interest rates and facility fees are subject to change based upon credit ratings on our senior unsecured long-term debt by nationally recognized debt rating agencies. As of September 30, 2000, there were no outstanding borrowings related to the $1.75 billion three-year competitive advance and revolving credit agreement. During August 2000, we obtained $790 million in commitments for surety bonds as an additional source of collateral required to be posted under the Settlement Agreement. The $1.75 billion three-year competitive advance and revolving credit agreement and the $790 million in surety bonds require us to fund a settlement trust on behalf of the plantiffs in the stockholder securities class action litigation in four quarterly payments of $150 million, followed by eight quarterly payments of $200 million, commencing in the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The escrow deposits will serve to reduce the amount of collateral previously posted by us, as required by the Settlement Agreement. We also have $750 million of committed bank facilities, which are currently undrawn and available, with the exception of $25 million of letters of credit, and $2.2 billion of availability under existing shelf registration statements. Our credit facilities contain certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on indebtedness of material subsidiaries, consent to mergers and limitations on liens, liquidations, and sale and leaseback transactions. Maintenance of certain financial ratios is also required. In January 2000, we used available cash to redeem our outstanding 7 1/2% senior notes at a redemption price of 100.695% of par, plus accrued interest. RELATED TO MANAGEMENT AND MORTGAGE PROGRAMS Our PHH subsidiary operates our mortgage and relocation services businesses as a separate public reporting entity and supports the origination of mortgages and advances under relocation contracts primarily by issuing commercial paper and medium-term notes and by maintaining secured obligations. PHH debt is not classified based on contractual maturities, but rather is included in liabilities under management and mortgage programs since the debt corresponds directly with the high quality related assets. At September 30, 2000, aggregate outstanding borrowings under management and mortgage programs consisted of the following: 29

Commercial paper $ 1,494 Secured obligations (1) 400 Medium-term notes 124 Other 125 ---------- $ 2,143 ========== ----------- (1) Consists of a 364-day financing agreement to sell mortgage loans under an agreement to repurchase such mortgages. The agreement is collateralized by the underlying mortgage loans held in safekeeping by the custodian to the agreement. The total commitment under this agreement is $500 million. The agreement is renewable on an annual basis at the discretion of the lender in accordance with the securitization agreement. Debt is issued by PHH without recourse to the parent company. PHH expects to continue to maximize its access to global capital markets by maintaining the quality of its assets under management. This is achieved by establishing credit standards to minimize credit risk and the potential for losses. PHH minimizes its exposure to interest rate and liquidity risk by effectively matching floating and fixed interest rate and maturity characteristics of funding to related assets, varying short and long-term domestic and international funding sources and securing available credit under committed banking facilities. Depending upon asset growth and financial market conditions, PHH utilizes domestic commercial paper markets, public and private debt markets, as well as other cost-effective short-term instruments. As of November 3, 2000, PHH had approximately $3.0 billion available for issuing medium-term notes under its existing shelf registration statement. Proceeds from future offerings will continue to be used to finance assets PHH manages for its clients, for a portion of the acquisition of Avis and for general corporate purposes. Augmenting these sources, PHH will continue to manage outstanding debt with the potential sale or transfer of managed assets to third parties while retaining fee-related servicing responsibility. At November 3, 2000, PHH maintained the following agreements, whereby managed assets were sold or transferred to third parties. Mortgage. PHH maintains a revolving sales agreement, under which an unaffiliated bankruptcy remote buyer, Bishops Gate Residential Mortgage Trust (the "Buyer"), a special purpose entity, committed to purchase, at PHH's option, mortgage loans originated by PHH on a daily basis, up to the Buyer's asset limit of $2.1 billion. Under the terms of this sales agreement, PHH retains the servicing rights on the mortgage loans sold to the Buyer and arranges for the sale or securitization of the mortgage loans into the secondary market. The Buyer retains the right to select alternative sale or securitization arrangements. At September 30, 2000, PHH was servicing approximately $980 million of mortgage loans owned by the Buyer. Relocation. PHH maintains three separate financing agreements with Apple Ridge Funding LLC ("Apple Ridge"), a bankruptcy remote, special purpose entity. Under the terms of these agreements, certain relocation receivables will be transferred for cash, on a revolving basis, to Apple Ridge until March 31, 2007. PHH retains a subordinated residual interest and the related servicing rights and obligations in the relocation receivables. At September 30, 2000, PHH was servicing approximately $703 million of receivables under these agreements. To provide additional financial flexibility, PHH's current policy is to ensure that minimum committed facilities aggregate 100 percent of the average amount of outstanding commercial paper. As of September 30, 2000, PHH maintained $1.625 billion of unsecured committed credit facilities, which were provided by domestic and foreign banks. The facilities consisted of a $750 million revolving credit facility maturing in February 2001, a $125 million revolving credit facility maturing in September 2001 and a $750 million revolving credit facility maturing in February 2005. The full amount of PHH's committed facilities at September 30, 2000 was undrawn and available to support the average outstanding commercial paper balance. We closely evaluate not only the credit of the banks, but also the terms of the various agreements to ensure on-going availability. We believe that our current policy provides adequate protection should volatility in the financial markets limit PHH's access to commercial paper or medium-term notes funding. PHH continuously seeks additional sources of liquidity to accommodate its asset growth and to provide further protection from volatility in the financial markets. In the event that the public debt market is unable to 30

meet PHH's funding needs, we believe that PHH has appropriate alternative sources to provide adequate liquidity, including current and potential future securitized obligations and its revolving credit facilities. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES ISSUED BY SUBSIDIARY HOLDING SOLELY SENIOR DEBENTURES ISSUED BY THE COMPANY On May 3, 2000, pursuant to the PRIDES settlement, we issued approximately 4 million additional PRIDES (the "Additional PRIDES"), with a face value of $50 per Additional PRIDES, and received approximately $91 million in cash proceeds related to the issuance of such securities. Only Additional Income PRIDES (having identical terms to the originally issued Income PRIDES) were issued, of which 3,619,374 were immediately converted into 3,619,374 New Income PRIDES and 380,626 remained Additional Income PRIDES. No Additional Growth PRIDES were issued in the offering. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED INTEREST IN A SUBSIDIARY In March 2000, through a limited liability corporation ("LLC"), we issued a mandatorily redeemable preferred interest ("Senior Preferred Interest") in exchange for $375 million in cash. The Senior Preferred Interest is mandatorily redeemable 15 years from the date of issuance and may be redeemed after 5 years, or earlier in certain circumstances. Distributions on the Senior Preferred Interest are based on the three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin (1.77%). Simultaneously with the issuance of the Senior Preferred Interest, we transferred certain assets to the LLC. After the sale of the Senior Preferred Interest, we owned 100% of both the common interest and the junior preferred interest in the LLC. In the event of default, holders of the Senior Preferred Interest have certain liquidation preferences. Proceeds were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our term loan facility. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY CD COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS Repurchases. Since inception of our common stock repurchase program in October 1998 and through September 30, 2000, we repurchased a total of approximately $2.3 billion (121 million shares) of CD common stock. As of September 30, 2000, we had approximately $488 million remaining availability under our common stock repurchase program. Strategic Alliance. In February 2000, pursuant to a previously announced strategic alliance, Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty Media") invested $400 million in cash to purchase 18 million shares of CD common stock and a two-year warrant to purchase approximately 29 million shares of CD common stock at an exercise price of $23.00 per share. In addition, in March 2000, Liberty Media's Chairman, John C. Malone, Ph.D., purchased one million shares of CD common stock for approximately $17 million in cash. The strategic alliance with Liberty Media is intended to develop Internet and related opportunities associated with our travel, mortgage, real estate and direct marketing businesses. MOVE.COM COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS Authorization of Tracking Stock. On March 21, 2000, our stockholders approved a proposal authorizing a new series of common stock to track the performance of the Move.com Group, a group of businesses which provide a broad range of quality relocation, real estate and home-related products and services through its flagship portal site, move.com, and through the move.com network. Our existing common stock was reclassified as CD common stock, which reflects the performance of our other businesses and also a retained interest in the Move.com Group (collectively referred to as the "Cendant Group"). In addition, our charter was amended and restated to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 2.0 billion to approximately 2.5 billion, comprised of 2.0 billion shares of CD common stock and 500 million shares of Move.com common stock. Although the issuance of Move.com common stock is intended to track the performance of the Move.com Group, holders are subject to all of the risks associated with an investment in all of our businesses, assets and liabilities. We issued shares of Move.com common stock in the following private financings: 31

NRT Incorporated Investment. On April 14, 2000, NRT Incorporated ("NRT") purchased 319,591 shares of Move.com common stock for $31.29 per share or approximately $10 million in cash. We own $179 million of NRT convertible preferred stock, of which $21 million will be convertible, at our option upon occurrence of certain events, into no more than 50% of NRT's common stock. Chatham Street Holdings, LLC Investment. On March 31, 2000, Chatham Street Holdings, LLC ("Chatham") exercised a contractual right to purchase 1,561,000 shares of Move.com common stock for $16.02 per share or approximately $25 million in cash. In connection with such exercise, for every two shares of Move.com common stock purchased, Chatham received a warrant to purchase one share of Move.com common stock at a price equal to $64.08 per share and a warrant to purchase one share of Move.com common stock at a price equal to $128.16 per share. Also during March 2000, we invested $25 million in convertible preferred stock of WMC Finance Co. ("WMC"), an online provider of sub-prime mortgages and an affiliate of Chatham, and were granted an option to purchase approximately 5 million shares of WMC common stock. Liberty Digital, Inc. Investment. On March 31, 2000, Liberty Digital, Inc. ("Liberty Digital") purchased 1,598,030 shares of Move.com common stock for $31.29 per share in exchange for consideration consisting of $10 million in cash and 813,215 shares of Liberty Digital Class A common stock valued at approximately $40 million. We and Liberty Digital also agreed to use good faith efforts to negotiate and enter into mutually acceptable agreements relating to the development of real estate related programming for Liberty Digital's interactive home channel based on Move.com Group's Web content. CASH FLOWS EXCLUSIVE OF MANAGEMENT AND MORTGAGE PROGRAMS CASH FLOWS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, -------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 CHANGE -------------- ------------- --------------- Cash provided by (used in) continuing operations: Operating activities $ 578 $ 738 $ (160) Investing activities (246) 2,509 (2,755) Financing activities (60) (2,555) 2,495 Effects of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents 25 32 (7) Net cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations 11 (80) 91 -------------- ------------- --------------- Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ 308 $ 644 $ (336) ============== ============= =============== Cash flows from operating activities decreased primarily due to: o the effects of non-strategic businesses disposed throughout 1999 and o a decrease in working capital. Cash flows from investing activities resulted in an outflow of $246 million in 2000 compared to an inflow of $2,509 million in 1999, primarily due to the absence in 2000 of $2.8 billion of net cash proceeds received from the disposition of businesses in 1999. Cash flows used in financing activities decreased primarily due to: o an increase in the issuances of common stock, o a decrease in the repurchases of CD common stock and o proceeds from the issuance of a mandatorily redeemable preferred interest and the Additional PRIDES; partially offset by: o a net outflow of funds from borrowing activities. 32

MANAGEMENT AND MORTGAGE PROGRAMS CASH FLOWS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, --------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 CHANGE -------------- ------------- ---------------- Cash provided by (used in): Operating activities $ (28) $ 1,298 $ (1,326) Investing activities (62) (1,243) 1,181 Financing activities (171) (1,082) 911 -------------- ------------- ---------------- Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ (261) $ (1,027) $ 766 ============== ============= ================ Cash flows from operating activities resulted in an outflow of $28 million in 2000 compared to an inflow of $1,298 million in 1999, primarily due to: o a decrease in cash flows from the originations of mortgage loans, which reflects larger mortgage loan originations in proportion to mortgage loan sales and o a decrease in depreciation and amortization due to the 1999 disposition of our former Fleet segment. Cash flows used in investing activities decreased primarily due to: o the absence in 2000 of a $774 million cash use in 1999 related to our former Fleet segment and o a net inflow of funds generated from advances on homes under management. Cash flows used in financing activities decreased primarily due to: o the absence in 2000 of $3.0 billion in proceeds received for debt repayment in connection with the disposal of our former Fleet segment and o a reduction in net borrowing requirements for our investment in assets under management and mortgage programs. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we invested $147 million in property and equipment to support operational growth and to enhance marketing opportunities. In addition, technological improvements were made to improve operating efficiencies. We anticipate an aggregate capital expenditure investment of approximately $210 million. FLEET DISPOSITION On June 30, 1999, we completed the disposition of our Fleet segment for aggregate consideration of $1.8 billion. The consideration consisted of the assumption and subsequent repayment of $1.44 billion of intercompany debt and the issuance of $360 million of non-voting convertible preferred stock of Avis Fleet Leasing and Management Corporation. We account for this convertible preferred stock investment using the cost method. Conversion of the convertible preferred stock is at our option, subject to earnings and stock price thresholds within specified intervals of time. As of September 30, 2000, the conversion conditions had not been satisfied. In connection with our current business plans, we announced on August 15, 2000, that we had submitted to the Board of Directors of Avis, a preliminary, non-binding proposal to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Avis that are not currently owned by us. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Acquisitions and Dispositions" for further detail regarding this proposed transaction. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," which amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 was previously amended by SFAS No. 137 "Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years commencing after June 15, 2000. We have appointed a team to implement these standards on an enterprise-wide basis. We have identified certain 33

contracts, which contain embedded derivatives, and additional freestanding derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133. Completion of our implementation plan and determination of the impact of adopting these standards is expected by the end of the fourth quarter of 2000. Since the impact is dependent upon market fluctuations and the notional value of such contracts at the time of adoption, the impact of adopting these standards is not fully determinable. However, we currently do not anticipate material changes to any of our existing hedging strategies as a result of such adoption. We will adopt SFAS No. 138 concurrently with SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001, as required. In October 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125." SFAS No. 140 revises criteria for accounting for securitizations, other financial-asset transfers, and collateral and introduces new disclosures, but otherwise carries forward most of the provisions of SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" without amendment. We will adopt SFAS No. 140 on December 31, 2000, as required. 34

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS As previously discussed in our 1999 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K, we assess our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential loss in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in our market risk sensitive positions. We used September 30, 2000 market rates to perform a sensitivity analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined, through such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in interest and foreign currency exchange rates and prices on our earnings, fair values and cash flows would not be material. 35

ARTICLE II EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES SECTION 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock: (a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. (b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. (c) Conversion of Company Common Stock; Proration. Subject to Section 2.2 hereof, each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock, other than shares to be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.4), shall be converted, at the election of the holder thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.2 below, into the following (the "Merger Consideration"):

(i) For each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent, designated as CD common stock ("Parent Common Stock"), has been effectively made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.2 ("Stock Election") and for each Non-Electing Share (as defined in subsection (iv) below), the right to receive 1.2500 (the "Initial Exchange Ratio" and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.3 and this subsection (i), the "Exchange Ratio") fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to the remainder of this subsection (i), the "Stock Election Consideration"); provided, however, that (x) if the Average Trading Price (as defined below) is between $12.0 and $13.5960, then the Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the sum of (a) the Initial Exchange Ratio divided by two, and (b) the quotient of $7.5 divided by the Average Trading Price, (y) if the Average Trading Price is equal to, or greater than, $13.5960, then the Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the quotient of $16 divided by the Average Trading Price and (z) if the Average Trading Price is below $12.0, then the Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the quotient of $15 divided by the Average Trading Price; provided, further, that if the Average Trading Price of Parent Common Stock is $7.00 or less, the Exchange Ratio will be 2.1428. As used herein, the "Average Trading Price" shall mean the arithmetic average of the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time closing sales prices of Parent Common Stock reported on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Composite Tape for the 20 consecutive NYSE trading days (each, a "Trading Day") ending on (and including) the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting (as defined herein). (ii) For each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.2 ("Cash Election"), the right to receive $15 in cash, subject to proration pursuant to subsection (iii) below (the "Cash Election Consideration"); provided, however, that in the event that the Average Trading Price is greater than $12.0, for each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which a Cash Election was made and not subject to proration, in addition to the Cash Election Consideration received with respect to such share, there shall be a right to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock which shall equal the value, based on the Average Trading Price, of the Stock Election Consideration minus $15 (the "Additional Stock Consideration"); provided, further, that the Additional Stock Consideration shall not exceed $1. (iii) The manner in which each share of Company Common Stock (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled as set forth in Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares) for which a Cash Election has been made shall be converted into the right to receive either the Cash Election Consideration and Additional Stock Consideration, if any, or the Stock Election Consideration on the Effective Date shall be as set forth in this subsection (iii). All references to "outstanding" shares of Company Common Stock in this subsection (iii) shall mean all shares of

Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. (A) As is more fully set forth below and except as provided in Section 2.1(c)(v), the aggregate amount of cash which Parent shall be obligated to pay in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement (other than in respect of Dissenting Shares) shall not be more than the product of multiplying $7.5 by the number of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Total Cash Actual"). "Total Cash Potential" shall mean the sum of (1) the aggregate Cash Election Consideration elected by stockholders of the Company, and (2) a cash amount equal to the number of Dissenting Shares multiplied by the value, based on the Average Trading Price, of the Stock Election Consideration. (B) If the Total Cash Potential is equal to or less than the Total Cash Actual, each share of Company Common Stock covered by a Cash Election shall be converted in the Merger into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration and the Additional Stock Consideration, if any. (C) If the Total Cash Potential is greater than the Total Cash Actual, each share of Company Common Stock covered by a Cash Election shall be converted in the Merger into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration and the Stock Election Consideration in the following manner: (a) The Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 2.2(d) below) will distribute with respect to each share of Company Common Stock as to which a Cash Election has been made the Cash Election Consideration multiplied by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the product of multiplying (A) $15 by (B) 50.0% of the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock minus the product of multiplying (C) the number of Dissenting Shares by (D) the value, based on the Average Trading Price, of the Stock Election Consideration, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Cash Election Consideration elected by stockholders of the Company; and (b) Each share of Company Common Stock covered by a Cash Election and not fully converted into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration as set forth in clause (a) above shall be converted in the Merger into the right to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock which shall equal the value, based on the Average Trading Price, of the sum of (x) the product of multiplying (A) the Stock Election Consideration by (B) a fraction equal to 1.0 minus the fraction set forth in clause (a) above plus (y) the product of multiplying (A) the value, based on the Average Trading

Price, of the Additional Stock Consideration, if any, by (B) the fraction set forth in clause (a) above, subject to subsection (v) below. (iv) Each share of Company Common Stock for which a valid Stock Election has been received and each share of Company Common Stock for which an Election (as defined in Section 2.2 below) is not in effect at the Election Deadline (a "Non-Electing Share"), shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Election Consideration in the Merger, subject to subsection (v) below. If Parent and the Company shall determine that any Election is not properly made with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock, such Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non- Electing Shares. (v) Notwithstanding subsections (i) through (iv) above, Parent shall have the right, exercisable at any time at least two business days prior to the Closing, at Parent's sole discretion, to pay in cash for any shares for which an Election (as defined below) was made and to substitute on a pro rata basis a payment of cash in an amount equal to the Average Trading Price multiplied by the Exchange Ratio for any or all shares of Company Common Stock for which the Stock Election has been made or which would otherwise be converted into Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(iii)(C); provided, that prior to making such substitution, Parent shall first have paid in cash for all shares for which a Cash Election has been made and which were not fully converted into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration. SECTION 2.2 Election Procedure. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article II, to submit an Election (as defined below) in accordance with the following procedures (as used in this Section 2.2, "holder" shall mean "record holder"): (a) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section (herein called an "Election") (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder with respect to which such holder desires to make a Stock Election and (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder with respect to which such holder desires to make a Cash Election. (b) Parent shall prepare a form reasonably acceptable to the Company (the "Form of Election") which shall be mailed to the Company's stockholders entitled to vote at the Company Stockholders Meeting so as to permit the Company's stockholders to exercise their right to make an Election prior to the Election Deadline (as defined in subsection (d)). (c) Parent shall use all reasonable efforts to make the Form of Election initially available to all stockholders of the Company

at least twenty business days prior to the Election Deadline and shall use all reasonable efforts to make available as promptly as possible a Form of Election to any stockholder of the Company who requests such Form of Election following the initial mailing of the Forms of Election and prior to the Election Deadline. (d) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the person authorized to receive Elections and to act as exchange agent under this Agreement, which person shall be designated by Parent (the "Exchange Agent"), shall have received, by 5:00 p.m. local time in the city in which the principal office of such Exchange Agent is located, on the date of the Election Deadline, a Form of Election properly completed and signed and accompanied by certificates of the shares of Company Common Stock (the "Company Stock Certificates") to which such Form of Election relates or by an appropriate guarantee of delivery of such certificates, as set forth in such Form of Election, from a member of any registered national securities exchange or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States; provided, that such certificates are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time required in such guarantee of delivery. Failure to deliver shares of Company Common Stock covered by such a guarantee of delivery within the time set forth on such guarantee shall be deemed to invalidate any otherwise properly made Election. As used herein, "Election Deadline" means the date on which the Effective Time occurs. (e) Any Company stockholder may at any time prior to the Election Deadline change his or her Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed, revised Form of Election. (f) Any Company stockholder may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, revoke his or her Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of his or her Company Stock Certificate, or of the guarantee of delivery of such certificates, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent. All Elections shall be revoked automatically if the Exchange Agent is notified in writing by Parent or the Company that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article VII. (g) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a person other than the person in whose name a Company Stock Certificate so surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that such Company Stock Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes (as defined in Section 3.1(m)) required as a result of such payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Company Stock Certificate, or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. (h) After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock. If after the Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger

Consideration in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II. (i) At any time following the first anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any remaining portion of the Merger Consideration not distributed to holders of shares of Company Common Stock that was deposited with the Exchange Agent at the Effective Time (the "Exchange Fund") (including any interest received with respect thereto and other income resulting from investments by the Exchange Agent, as directed by Parent), and holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock payable upon due surrender of their Company Stock Certificates, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Company Stock Certificate for Merger Consideration (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund in each case delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. (j) In the event any Company Stock Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Company Stock Certificate(s) to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate(s), the Exchange Agent will issue the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificates. (k) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to subsection (l) below, and all such dividends, other distributions and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Company Stock Certificate in accordance with subsection (l) below. Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such Company Stock Certificate there shall be paid to the holder of a certificate for Parent Common Stock (a "Parent Stock Certificate") representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefore, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to subsection (l), and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective

Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock. Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent cash for these purposes, if necessary. (l) No Parent Stock Certificates representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Stock Certificates; no dividend or distribution by Parent shall relate to such fractional share interests; and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as a shareholder of Parent. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of a Company Stock Certificate who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share interest in exchange for such Company Stock Certificate shall receive from the Exchange Agent an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the fractional share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder at the Effective Time) would otherwise be entitled by (B) the Average Trading Price. Parent shall provide the Exchange Agent the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to this subsection (l) promptly following the Effective Time. (m) Parent shall have the right to make rules, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing (A) the validity of the Forms of Election, (B) the manner and extent to which Elections are to be taken into account in making the determinations prescribed by Section 2.1, (C) the issuance and delivery of Parent Stock Certificates into which shares of Company Common Stock are converted in the Merger and (D) the method of payment of cash for shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration. (n) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent will deposit with the Exchange Agent an amount of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to pay in a timely manner, and the Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay, the aggregate Cash Election Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and the aggregate Additional Stock Consideration and Stock Election Consideration. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of its Company Stock Certificate or Company Stock Certificates, accompanied by a properly completed Form of Election, a holder of Company Common Stock will be entitled to receive promptly after the Election Deadline the Merger Consideration (elected or deemed elected by it, subject to Sections 1.2 and 2.1) in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by its Company Stock Certificate. Until so surrendered, each such Company Stock Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. SECTION 2.3 Certain Adjustments. If after the date hereof and on or prior to the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, combination or any similar event shall occur (including an extraordinary dividend, the record date for payment of which occurs during the Election Period) (any such action, an "Adjustment Event"), the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock

whose shares of Company Common Stock have been converted into the right to receive either Stock Election Consideration or Additional Stock Consideration the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such reclassification, recapitalization, combination or similar event. SECTION 2.4 Shares of Dissenting Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and that are held by a stockholder who has properly exercised his appraisal rights under the DGCL (the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration unless and until the holder shall have failed to perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, his right to dissent from the Merger under the DGCL and to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of the DGCL. If any such holder shall have so failed to perfect or have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, each share of such holder's Company Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Stock Election Consideration or the Cash Election Consideration or a combination thereof as determined by Parent in its sole discretion. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any notice or demands for appraisal or payment for shares of Company Common Stock received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands or notices. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle or otherwise negotiate, any such demands.

reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on such party or on the truth of their respective representations and warranties or the ability of the conditions set forth in Article VI to be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement. SECTION 4.3 No Solicitation by the Company. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.3, until the earlier of the Effective Time and the date of termination of this Agreement, neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries or any of the officers, directors, stockholders, agents, representatives or affiliates of it or its subsidiaries (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its subsidiaries) shall (i) solicit, initiate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or take any other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal which constitutes a Company Takeover Proposal (as defined below), (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Company Takeover Proposal, (iii) enter into any agreement regarding any Company Takeover Proposal or (iv) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Company Takeover Proposal. If and only to the extent that (i) the Company Stockholders Meeting shall not have occurred, (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is necessary to do so in order to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under applicable law, (iii) the Company's Board of Directors concludes in good faith that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal (as defined below), (iv) such Company Takeover Proposal was not solicited by it and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 4.3(a), and (v) the Company provides prior written notice to Parent of its decision to take such action, the Company shall be permitted to (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and any of its subsidiaries to such person pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement, (B) participate in discussions and negotiations with such person, (C) subject to first complying with the provisions of Section 5.8(b) hereof, enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement and (D) effect a Change in the Company Recommendation (as defined below); provided, that at least three business days prior to taking any actions set forth in clause (C) or (D) above, the Company's Board of Directors provides Parent written notice advising Parent that the Company's Board of Directors is prepared to conclude that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and during such three business day period the Company and its advisors shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Company Takeover Proposal would no longer constitute a Company Superior Proposal and the Company's Board of Directors concludes in good faith that such Company Takeover Proposal is reasonably likely to result in a Company Superior Proposal. The Company, its subsidiaries and their representatives immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, "Company Takeover Proposal"

means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any person relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a business that constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of any equity securities of the Company, or any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company whose business constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any securitization or financing transactions consistent with past practice. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Company Superior Proposal" means any proposal made by a third party (A) to acquire, directly or indirectly, including pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including a contribution to a joint venture), dissolution or similar transaction, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, 100% of the combined voting power of the shares of the Company's capital stock then outstanding or 100% of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole and (B) which is otherwise on terms which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with (i) either Stephens Inc., Bear Stearns & Co., Inc. or another nationally recognized investment banking firm and (ii) outside counsel), taking into account, among other things, all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal and the person making the proposal, that the proposal, (i) if consummated would result in a transaction that is more favorable to the Company's stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) is reasonably capable of being completed, including to the extent required, financing which is then committed or which, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, is reasonably capable of being obtained by such third party. (b) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 4.3, neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the approval of the Agreement, the Merger or the Company Recommendation (as defined in Section 5.1(d)) or take any action or make any statement in connection with the Company Stockholders Meeting inconsistent with such approval or Company Recommendation (collectively, a "Change in the Company Recommendation"), (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Company Takeover Proposal, or (iii) cause the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement (each, a "Company Acquisition Agreement") related to any Company Takeover Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in the Company Recommendation shall include any approval or recommendation (or public proposal to approve or recommend), by the Company Board of a Company Takeover Proposal, or any failure by the Company Board to recommend against a Company Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company, to the extent that it determines in good faith,

after consultation with outside counsel, that in light of a Company Superior Proposal it is necessary to do so in order to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under applicable law, may terminate this Agreement solely in order to concurrently enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to any Company Superior Proposal, but only at a time that is after the third business day following Parent's receipt of written notice advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company is prepared to accept a Company Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Company Superior Proposal, all of which information will be kept confidential by Parent in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 5.4). (c) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.3, the Company shall immediately advise Parent orally and in writing of any request for information or of any Company Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or Company Takeover Proposal and the identity of the person making such request or Company Takeover Proposal. The Company will keep Parent informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or Company Takeover Proposal. (d) Nothing contained in this Section 4.3 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with outside counsel, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable law; provided, however, any such disclosure relating to a Company Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation unless the Board of Directors of the Company reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure. ARTICLE V ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS SECTION 5.1 Preparation of the Form S-4, Proxy Statement and Form 10; Stockholders Meeting. (a) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Form S-4, the Proxy Statement and the Form 10.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective; provided, that the Company may elect to postpone the mailing of the Proxy Statement to a date that is no later than at least 20 business days prior to the date Parent informs the Company that the DevCo. Distribution is reasonably capable of being completed.

(b) Each of the Company and Parent covenants that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Form S-4 will, at the time the Form S-4 is filed with the SEC, at any time it is amended or supplemented or at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the stockholders of the Company, or at the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Proxy Statement and the Form S-4 will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no representation or covenant is made by the Company with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference based on information supplied in writing by Parent specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement and (ii) no representation or covenant is made by Parent with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference based on information supplied in writing by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement. If at any time prior to the Effective Time there shall occur (i) any event with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or with respect to other information supplied by Company for inclusion in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement or (ii) any event with respect to Parent, or with respect to information supplied by Parent for inclusion in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, in either case, which event is required to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement, to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, such event shall be so described, and such amendment or supplement shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, as required by law, disseminated to the stockholders of Company. (c) Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other appropriate government official and of any requests by the SEC or its staff or any other appropriate government official for amendments or supplements to any of the filings with the SEC in connection with the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby or for additional information and shall supply the other with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, or Parent or any of its representatives, as the case may be, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff or any other appropriate government official, on the other hand, with respect thereto. The Company and Parent shall use their respective reasonable efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and provide to each other all information necessary in order to prepare the Form S-4, the Proxy Statement and the Form 10, and shall provide promptly to the other party any information such party may obtain that could necessitate amending any such document. (d) The Company shall, as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, duly

call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting in accordance with the DGCL for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, that the Company may elect to postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting to a date that is no later than 35 business days after the date of mailing of the Proxy Statement in accordance with Section 5.1(a). Subject to Section 4.3, the Board of Directors of the Company shall recommend to the Company's stockholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the "Company Recommendation"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.1(d) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Company Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding any Change in the Company Recommendation, this Agreement and the Merger shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of approving the Agreement and the Merger and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation unless this Agreement has been terminated. (e) The Company shall coordinate and cooperate with Parent with respect to the timing of the Company Stockholders Meeting. SECTION 5.2 Letter of the Company's Accountants. The Company shall cause to be delivered to Parent a letter from the Company's independent accountants dated a date within two business days before the Closing Date addressed to Parent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and customary in scope and substance for comfort letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the Form S-4. SECTION 5.3 Letter of Parent's Accountants. Parent shall cause to be delivered to the Company a letter from Parent's independent accountants dated a date within two business days before the Closing Date addressed to the Company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and customary in scope and substance for comfort letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the Form S-4. SECTION 5.4 Access to Information; Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the Secrecy Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2000, as amended, between Parent and the Company (the "Confidentiality Agreement"), and subject to the restrictions contained in confidentiality agreements to which the Company is subject (which the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to have waived) and applicable law, the Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, afford Parent and to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives of Parent, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time to all its respective properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent (a) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws and

(b) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such other party may reasonably request. In addition, the Company will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Parent the internal or external reports reasonably required by Parent promptly after such reports are made available to the Company's personnel. No review pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall affect any representation or warranty given by the Company to Parent. Parent will hold, and will cause its officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives and affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. (b) As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall permit Parent to electronically link the Company's financial reporting system to Parent's financial reporting system ("Hyperion"). The link to Hyperion will be completed by Parent's financial reporting staff, with assistance from the Company's accounting staff, at no incremental cost to the Company and provided that such installment will not interfere with or disrupt the normal operation of the Company's financial reporting system or violate any applicable software licenses. Parent will provide the necessary Hyperion software to be installed on a computer in the Company's accounting department; provided, however, that the information retrieved from the Company's financial reporting system will not be made available to persons who are directly involved in pricing or any other competitive activity at Parent; provided, further, that such persons shall not use such information other than for purposes of assessing the financial condition of the Company for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not share, provide or sell the information to any third party or use the information in any manner that could reasonably be considered a restraint on competition or result in a violation of any applicable laws. Any information provided under this Section 5.4(b) shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. SECTION 5.5 Reasonable Efforts. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable good faith efforts (subject to, and in accordance with, applicable law) to take promptly, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, including, without limitation, the VOI Registrations (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay, temporary restraining order or injunctions entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully

carry out the purposes of, this Agreement, subject to the limitations on divestiture set forth in subsection (c) below. (b) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall (i) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement or the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (ii) if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement or the Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby and thereby, take all action necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger, the DevCo. Distribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. (c) Each party agrees to provide the other party with copies of any documentation or written materials provided to or by Governmental Entities with respect to the HSR approval process. Parent shall not be required to agree to any divestiture by Parent or any of Parent's subsidiaries or affiliates of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property of Parent or its subsidiaries or affiliates or of the Company, its affiliates, or the imposition of any material limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their businesses or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock. (d) The Company shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to assist Parent and certain of its subsidiaries that are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (the "Reporting Subs") in the preparation and filing, on the earliest practicable date after the date of this Agreement, of Current Reports on Form 8-K for each of Parent and the Reporting Subs containing the information required by Item 512(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K of the SEC, including the historical financial statements of the Company required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the SEC and the pro forma financial information with respect to the business combination contemplated by this Agreement required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the SEC, and the Company shall take all other action necessary to allow Parent and the Reporting Subs to issue and sell securities on a continuous or delayed basis in one or more public offerings registered under the Securities Act. SECTION 5.6 Company Equity-Based Incentives. (a) As of the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding Company Stock Option and Company Warrant shall be converted into an option or warrant, as the case may be (as applicable, an "Adjusted Option" or "Adjusted Warrant") to purchase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option or Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price for each such share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option or Company

Warrant divided by the Exchange Ratio, and all references in each such option or warrant to the Company shall be deemed to refer to Parent, where appropriate; provided, however, Parent shall assume the obligations of the Company under the applicable Company Stock Plan and agreements under which the Adjusted Option or Adjusted Warrant was originally granted, subject to the adjustments required by this Section 5.6(a). The other terms of each such Adjusted Option and Adjusted Warrant, and the plans under which they were issued, shall continue to apply in accordance with their terms. (b) As of the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding Company Award other than Company Stock Options and Company Warrants (including restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, deferred stock, phantom stock, stock equivalents and stock units) under the Company Stock Plans shall be converted into the same instrument of Parent, in each case with such adjustments (and no other adjustments) to the terms of such Company Awards as are necessary to preserve the value inherent in such Company Awards with no detrimental or beneficial effects on the holder thereof and (ii) Parent shall assume the obligations of the Company under the Company Awards, subject to the adjustments required by this Section 5.6(b). The other terms of each such Company Award, and the plans or agreements under which they were issued, shall continue to apply in accordance with their terms. (c) The Company and Parent agree that the Company Stock Plans and Parent equity-based incentive plans shall be amended, to the extent necessary, to reflect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock held or to be awarded or paid pursuant to such benefit plans, programs or arrangements into shares of Parent Common Stock on a basis consistent with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. After the Effective Time, Parent shall promptly issue new agreements reflecting each holder's Adjusted Options, Adjusted Warrants or adjusted Company Awards. (d) Parent shall (i) reserve for issuance the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will become subject to the benefit plans, programs and arrangements referred to in this Section 5.6 and (ii) issue or cause to be issued the appropriate number of shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to applicable plans, programs and arrangements, upon the exercise or maturation of rights existing thereunder on the Effective Time or thereafter granted or awarded. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) registering a number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to fulfill Parent's obligations under this Section 5.6. Such registration statement shall be kept effective (and the current status of the prospectus required thereby shall be maintained) for at least as long as Adjusted Options, Adjusted Warrants or adjusted Company Awards remain outstanding. (e) Parent and the Company shall each approve the conversion of the outstanding Company Stock Options, Company Warrants and Company Awards pursuant to this Section 5.6 in a manner sufficient to comply with the exemptions provided by Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

(f) The Company shall take all actions necessary to effect, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the termination of the ESPP and of any offering period then in effect under the ESPP, in a manner approved by Parent. SECTION 5.7 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance. (a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or by- laws (or comparable organizational documents) and any indemnification agreements or arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of such individuals. (b) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation will assume the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 5.7. (c) The provisions of this Section 5.7 (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. (d) For six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company's current directors' and officers' liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time with respect to those persons who are currently covered by the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance policy on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable to the Company's directors and officers currently covered by such insurance than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of Parent or its subsidiaries containing terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable to such directors or officers; provided, further, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to pay aggregate premiums for insurance under this Section 5.7(d) in excess of 200% of the aggregate premiums paid by the Company in 2000 on an annualized basis for such purpose and, if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance covering all acts or omissions prior to the Effective Time at a cost not to exceed 125% of the cost of the current

directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by the Company. (e) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any successor thereto to comply with its obligations under this Section 5.7. SECTION 5.8 Fees and Expenses.

(b) (i) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(c), then, upon such termination, the Company shallpay Parent a fee equal to $32,000,000 by wire transfer of same day funds. (ii) In the event that (A) a Pre-Termination Takeover Proposal Event (as defined below) shall occur after the date of this Agreement and thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) and (B) prior to the date that is 12 months after the date of such termination the Company enters into a Company Acquisition Agreement, then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two business days after the date such Company Acquisition Agreement is entered into, pay Parent a fee equal to $32,000,000 by wire transfer of same day funds. (iii) In the event that (A) a Pre-Termination Takeover Proposal Event shall occur after the date of this Agreement, (B) this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(ii), (C) the Average Trading Price shall not be below $6.00 per share, and (D) prior to the date that is 12 months after the date of such termination the Company enters into a Company Acquisition Agreement, then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two business days after the date such Company Acquisition Agreement is entered into, pay Parent a fee equal to $32,000,000 by wire transfer of the same day funds. (iv) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(d), then concurrently with such termination, the Company shall pay to Parent a fee equal to $32,000,000 by wire transfer of same day funds. (v) In the event that (A) a Pre-Termination Takeover Proposal Event shall occur after the date of this Agreement, (B) the Company Board of Directors has effected a Change in the Company Recommendation, and (C) this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or Company for any reason provided for under Section 7.1, then, promptly, but in no event later than two business days after such termination, the Company shall pay Parent a fee equal to $32,000,000 by wire transfer of same day funds. (vi) For purposes of this Section 5.8(b), a

"Pre- Termination Takeover Proposal Event" shall be deemed to occur if a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been made known to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has been made directly to its stockholders generally or any person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Company Takeover Proposal. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 5.8(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company for the fee set forth in this Section 5.8(b), the Company shall pay to Parent its costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the rate on six-month U.S. Treasury obligations plus 300 basis points in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. (c) The Company shall in no event be required to pay more than one fee pursuant to Section 5.8(b). In the event that an amount is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.8, then, not withstanding anything in this Agreement or the Voting Agreement to the contrary, (i) such amount shall be full compensation and liquidated damages for the loss suffered by Parent as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Voting Agreement to be consummated and to avoid the difficulty of determining the damages under the circumstances and (ii) such amount shall be in lieu of any other entitlement of Parent, and shall be the sole and exclusive liability of the Company and the Company's stockholders, with respect to all matters arising under or relating to this Agreement and the Voting Agreement, unless there has been a willful or material breach of this Agreement or the Voting Agreement by the Company or a stockholder of the Company, respectively. SECTION 5.9 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company will consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review, comment upon and concur with and use reasonable efforts to agree on, any press release or other public statements and any internal communications with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement, including the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as either party may determine is required by applicable law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties. SECTION 5.10 Affiliates. To the extent practicable, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (or to the extent not practicable, as soon as practicable and in any event within 10 business days after the date hereof), the Company shall deliver to Parent a written agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 5.10(a) hereto of all of the persons who are "affiliates" of the Company for purposes of Rule

145 under the Securities Act; all of such affiliates, who are affiliates as of the date of this Agreement, are identified in Section 5.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Section 5.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be updated by the Company as necessary to reflect changes from the date hereof and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each person added to such schedule after the date hereof to deliver a similar agreement. SECTION 5.11 Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall use best efforts to cause the Parent Common Stock issuable (i) under Article II or (ii) upon exercise of the Adjusted Options pursuant to Section 5.6 to be approved for issuance on the NYSE, in each case subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and in any event prior to the Closing Date. SECTION 5.12 Stockholder Litigation. Each of the Company and Parent shall give the other the reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of any stockholder litigation against the Company or Parent, as applicable, and its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. SECTION 5.13 DevCo. Distribution. (a) Unless Parent shall determine that the Company shall not effect the DevCo. Distribution, it shall prepare and deliver to the Company the proposed terms of the DevCo. Distribution and forms of the agreements proposed to be entered into by the Company and DevCo. in connection with the DevCo. Distribution on or prior to December 7, 2000. (b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to complete the actions specified in Exhibit A as long as those actions do not adversely affect the business of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries before the DevCo. Distribution; provided, however, that the completion of actions under this Section 5.13 shall not be a condition to the Merger. The Company shall take all necessary action to create DevCo. and transfer to DevCo. such assets and liabilities from the Company and its subsidiaries and execute all necessary agreements that shall govern the relationships between the Surviving Corporation and DevCo. following the DevCo. Distribution, all in accordance with Parent's instructions set forth on Exhibit A. The DevCo. Distribution must occur immediately before the Effective Time unless otherwise agreed to by the Company.

If Parent intends to enter into any transaction which would require a pre-merger notification filing to be made under the HSR Act (without respect to whether the "size of the person" test pertaining to the entity to be acquired is met), then it shall, prior entering into such transaction, consult with the Stockholder to discuss the reasonable likely effects of such transaction on approval of the Mergers under the HSR Act. Parent shall instruct and provide training to its sales force and the sales force of Spring Street and Parent not to use the existence of the proposed Mergers as a means of persuading potential customers and advertisers of RentNet or the Company not to sign up with RentNet or the Company but to sign up with Spring Street or Parent instead. ARTICLE V ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS - 5.1 Stockholder Approval; Proxy Statement; Delivery of Financials (a) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Parent will prepare and file, with the cooperation of the Company, WW and the Stockholder, a proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") relating to approval of the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Mergers pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the SEC. The Company, WW and Stockholder shall provide promptly to Parent such information concerning their respective business and financial statements and affairs, as, in the reasonably judgment of Parent or its counsel, may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with Parent's counsel and auditors in the preparation of the Proxy Statement, including, without limitation, that each of the Company and WW agrees, and the Stockholder agrees to cause the Company and WW, to deliver an audited combined consolidated balance sheet of the Company (together with WW and the WW Subsidiaries as though WW and the WW Subsidiaries were subsidiaries of the Company) as of September 30, 2000 and the related audited combined consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement and in no event later than November 15, 2000. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in particular, the Stockholder, the Company and WW will cause its management and its independent auditors to facilitate on a timely basis (and -47-

Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond after consultation with the other parties hereto to any comments of the SEC as promptly as promptly practicable after such filing. Parent shall give the Stockholder and its counsel the opportunity to review the Proxy Statement prior to its being filed with the SEC and shall give the Stockholder and its counsel the opportunity to review all amendments and supplements to the Proxy Statement and all written responses to requests for additional information and written replies to comments prior to their being filed with, or sent to, the SEC.

As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Parent, the Company, WW and Stockholder will prepare and file any other filings required under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any other federal, foreign, or state "Blue Sky" laws relating to the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Other Filings"). The Proxy Statement will comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or any Other Filing, as the case may be, Parent, the Company, WW or Stockholder, as the case may be, will promptly inform the others of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff or any other government officers, and/or mailing to the stockholders of Parent, such amendment or supplement as promptly as practicable. The Proxy Statement shall include the recommendation of the Board of Directors of Parent in favor of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Mergers; provided, however, that such recommendation may be withdrawn or amended in the event (i) of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 or (ii) that the Stockholder, the Company or WW has engaged in fraudulent behavior with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers or the transactions contemplated hereby. (b) At the earliest practicable date after the expiration of the period of time prescribed by Rule 14a-6(a) of the Exchange Act or if comments are received by Parent from the SEC prior to the expiration of such period of time, upon receipt of written notice from the SEC advising Parent of the SEC's permission to file the Proxy Statement in definitive form, Parent will use its good faith reasonable efforts to take all action necessary in accordance with Delaware Law, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Parent, and the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market to duly call, give notice of and convene and hold a special meeting of stockholders for purposes of -48-

Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.6(c) of this Agreement, all of the representations and warranties of the Stockholder and Parent, in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement (each as modified by the Stockholder Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter, as the case may be) shall survive the Mergers and continue until 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Stockholder contained in Sections 2.2 and 2.18 hereof shall survive indefinitely (subject to any applicable statute of limitations); provided, further, that the representations and warranties of the Stockholder contained in Section 2.11(d) and the second and third sentences of Section 2.10(d) hereof shall survive until 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the date -59-

which is thirty-six (36) months following the Closing Date (the end date of such survival, as applicable, (or an indefinite period in the case of Sections 2.2 and 2.18) is hereinafter referred to as the "Expiration Date"). 7.2 Indemnification (a) In addition to the matters set forth in Article IX hereof, until the Expiration Date, the Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold Parent and its officers, directors and affiliates harmless against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (hereinafter individually a "Loss" and collectively "Losses"), incurred by Parent or its officers, directors, or affiliates: (i) as a result of any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained in this Agreement or any certificate, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) except as set forth in Section 7.3 below, relating to any liability, obligation, judgment, penalty, fine, cost or expense, of any kind or nature, or the duty to indemnify, defend or reimburse any Person with respect to: (1) the presence on or before the Closing Date of any Hazardous Materials in the soil, groundwater, surface water, air or building materials of any Business Facility ("Pre-Existing Contamination"); (2) the migration at any time prior to or after the Closing Date of Pre-Existing Contamination to any other real property, or the soil, groundwater, surface water, air or building materials thereof; (3) any Hazardous Materials Activity conducted on any Business Facility prior to the Closing Date or otherwise occurring prior to the Closing Date in connection with or to benefit the Business ("Pre-Closing Hazardous Materials Activities"); (4) the exposure of any person to Pre-Existing Contamination or to Hazardous Materials in the course of or as a consequence of any Pre-Closing Hazardous Materials Activities, without regard to whether any health effect of the exposure has been manifested as of the Closing Date; (5) the violation of any Environmental Laws by the Company, WW or any Subsidiary or its agents, employees, predecessors in interest, contractors, invitees or licensees prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any Pre-Closing Hazardous Materials Activities prior to the Closing Date; (6) any actions or proceedings brought or threatened by any third party with respect to any of the foregoing; and (7) any of the foregoing to the extent they continue after the Closing Date (collectively, "Seller's Retained Environmental Liabilities"); (iii) relating to or arising out of Parent's assumption of Continuing Employee Options and Additional Options under this Agreement or failure of Parent to assume any options, rights or other securities of the Stockholder, the Company or any of their respective affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that this indemnity in clause (iii) shall not apply to: (w) Parent's failure to issue Parent Common Stock in accordance with the Option Exchange Ratio upon the due exercise of such Continuing Employee Options and Additional Options held by Continuing Employees and assumed by Parent pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(iii)of this Agreement, (x) Parent s other obligations under the Option Plans with respect to the Continuing Employee Options or the agreements governing such Continuing Employee Options by virtue of such assumption, (y) any actions taken by Parent after the Closing with respect to the termination of employment of any Continuing Employee who holds a Continuing Employee Option, or (z) any misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement on Form S-8 or prospectus or similar securities law document prepared by Parent and distributed to its employees with respect to the Continuing Employee Options; or (iv) Broker Liabilities. Notwithstanding the -60-

foregoing, there shall be no right to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII unless and until an Indemnification Certificate (as defined below) identifying aggregate Losses in excess of $5,000,000 (the "Threshold Amount") has been delivered to Stockholder, in which event Parent shall be entitled to recover all such amounts in excess of the Threshold Amount; provided, however, that such Threshold Amount shall not apply to any indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) above with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.2, 2.4, the second and third sentences of 2.10(d), 2.11(d) or 2.18 or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv) above. In no event shall the Stockholder's aggregate obligation to indemnify Parent under this Section 7.2(a) exceed an amount of cash or Parent Common Stock equal to the value of fifty percent (50%) of the Total Consideration (based on the valuation of the Parent Common Stock at the Parent Closing Price) (the "Limit") ; provided, however, that such Limit shall not apply to any indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) above with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2.2, the second and third sentences of 2.10(d), 2.11(d) or 2.18 or pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv) above. The amount of any Losses shall be reduced by the amount of any Tax Benefit Actually Realized by Parent, WW, the Company or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates relating thereto and any amount received by Parent with respect thereto under any insurance coverage (net of any reasonably expected premium adjustments). If Parent actually receives an amount under insurance coverage with respect to Losses at any time subsequent to any indemnification provided by the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 7.2, then Parent shall promptly reimburse the Stockholder for any payment made by the Stockholder to Parent in connection with providing the indemnification for a particular matter up to such amount received by Parent with respect to that matter, provided, however, that Parent may retain an amount from proceeds received under insurance coverage or from such other party with respect to Losses to the extent that the Stockholder has not indemnified Parent for the full amount of its claim. Stockholder shall not have any right of contribution from the Company or WW or any of their respective Subsidiaries with respect to any Loss claimed by an Indemnified Party after the Effective Time. (b) Claims. Upon receipt by the Stockholder at any time on or before the last day of the Indemnification Period of a certificate signed by any officer of Parent (an "Officer's Certificate"): (A) stating that Parent has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates that it will have to pay or accrue Losses, and (B) specifying in reasonable detail the individual items of Losses included in the amount so stated, the date each such item was paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated liability, and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant to which such item is related, the Stockholder shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(c) hereof, deliver to Parent, as promptly as practicable, funds in an amount equal to such Losses. The Stockholder shall, at its sole discretion, pay all claims for indemnification hereunder in (i) cash or (ii) shares of Parent Common Stock; provided, however that all claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) (with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.18) or Section 7.2(a)(ii) above shall be paid in cash only. In the event the Stockholder determines to pay any claim, in whole or in part, in shares of Parent Common Stock, the Stockholder shall transfer to Parent the number of shares of Parent Common Stock having an aggregate value (based on the valuation of each share at 97% of the Parent -61-

Closing Price (adjusted for splits, combinations and the like)) equal to the Losses with respect to such claim. (c) Objections to Claims. No such payment or delivery may be required pursuant to Section 7.2(b) above if the Stockholder shall object in a written statement to the claim made in the Officer's Certificate with thirty (30) days of delivery of such Officer's Certificate, and such statement shall have been delivered to Parent prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period. (d) Resolution of Conflicts. (i) In case the Stockholder shall so object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Officer's Certificate, the Stockholder and Parent shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Stockholder and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and Stockholder shall deliver to Parent, as promptly as practicable, an amount equal to such Losses in cash or shares of Parent Common Stock. (ii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to sixty (60) days after delivery of an Officer's Certificate, either of Parent or the Stockholder may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and the Stockholder. In the event that, within thirty (30) days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Stockholder cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within fifteen (15) days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, Parent and the Stockholder shall each select one arbitrator within ten (10) additional days. The two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. If the Stockholder does not select an arbitrator during this fifteen (15) day period, then the parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator selected by Parent. (iii) Any such arbitration shall be held under the expedited rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid, including without limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and the administrative fee of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys' fees and costs, to the extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrators or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the -62-

validity and amount of any claim in such Officer's Certificate shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Within five (5) days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by one party to another, such party shall make the payment to such other party. (iv) Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. (e) Third-Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a third-party claim which Parent believes may result in a demand for indemnification, Parent shall notify the Stockholder of such claim, and the Stockholder, shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any defense of such claim. Parent shall have the right in its sole discretion to settle any such claim; provided, however, that except with the consent of the Stockholder, no settlement of any such claim with third-party claimants shall alone be determinative of the amount of any claim for indemnification if the settlement is unreasonable. Any dispute as to the reasonableness of such settlement shall be resolved pursuant to the terms of Section 7.2(d) above. To the extent that such settlement is determined after such dispute resolution to be unreasonable, then the arbitrator(s) shall determine the amount, if any, that Stockholder shall be required to indemnify Parent in respect of such settled claim. In the event that the Stockholder has consented to any such settlement, the Stockholder shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Article VII to the amount of any claim by Parent for indemnification with respect to such settlement. (f) Sole Remedy. Parent's rights to indemnification as provided for in Section 7.2 for a breach of representations or warranties contained in this Agreement shall constitute Parent's sole remedy for such a breach and the Stockholder shall have no other liability or damages to the other party resulting from the breach; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Parent from pursuing remedies, including equitable remedies, as may be available to it under applicable law or equitable principles in the event of the Stockholder's failure to comply with its indemnification obligations hereunder or in the event of a claim of fraud by Parent against the Stockholder. 7.3 Further Conditions on Environmental Indemnity. (a) Stockholder's indemnification obligations under Section 7.2(a)(i) with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.18, and Stockholder's indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7.2(a)(ii) (collectively "Stockholder's Environmental Indemnity") shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) Stockholder's Environmental Indemnity for violations of Environmental Laws occurring in the course of ongoing operation of the Business, which violations continue after the Closing Date, shall not apply to any such violations to the extent they arise either from a change in operations of the Business after the Closing Date or from the continuation of the operations as they existed prior to the Closing Date for a period continuing beyond that date which is one year following the Closing Date; (ii) Stockholder shall not be liable for any diminution in property value of any real property owned by the Company as of the Closing -63-

Date; (iii) to the extent Stockholder's Environmental Indemnity applies to Cleanup, Stockholder's Environmental Indemnity shall only apply to Cleanup to the extent such Cleanup is required by a Governmental Entity under applicable Environmental Laws in effect and enforceable as of the Closing Date or is required to be undertaken under any applicable Environmental Laws in effect and enforceable as of the Closing Date; (iv) Stockholder's Environmental Indemnity shall not apply to that portion of the cost of a Cleanup to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Cleanup is not conducted using Cost-Effective Methods; (v) Stockholder's Environmental Indemnity shall not apply to costs to the extent such costs result from the application of more stringent Environmental Laws as a result of the change in use of a Business Facility to a use other than industrial, commercial or retail where such change in use results from the voluntary actions of Parent or its subsidiaries; and (vi) Stockholder's Environmental Indemnity shall not apply to any Cleanup costs to the extent caused by the exacerbation or worsening (excluding the mere discovery of contamination) of Pre-Existing Contamination as a result of the acts of Parent, its subsidiaries, employees or agents or the acts of any third parties on any property owned by Parent or its affiliates. (b) Parent or its affiliate shall promptly notify Stockholder in writing in the event of the discovery of Pre-Existing Contamination subject to Stockholder's Environmental Indemnity ("Contamination Notice"); provided, however, that a failure to so notify Stockholder shall not limit Stockholder's indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that Stockholder is prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall reasonably identify the location and information on the impacted media and the basis upon which the claimant seeks indemnification. For claims relating to Cleanup within the scope of this Section 7.3, the Stockholder shall have the right to assume responsibility for managing the Cleanup and related matters thereto, by providing notice to the Parent within sixty (60) days following receipt of the Contamination Notice. If the Stockholder assumes responsibility for management of a Cleanup under this subsection, the Stockholder shall perform such Cleanup using Cost-Effective Methods in compliance with all applicable legal requirements and in accordance with plans approved by Parent or its affiliate, and utilizing a consultant approved by Parent or its affiliate, which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld. Where the Stockholder has assumed responsibility for management of a Cleanup under this subparagraph (b), the Parent or its affiliate shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to: (i) review and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) all draft plans and reports, as well as correspondence to any Governmental Entity regarding the Cleanup, and (ii) participate in activities related to the Cleanup, including, but not limited to, participation in meetings with respect to the determination of applicable Remediation Standards or methods for conducting the Cleanup. (c) As used in this Section 7.3, the following terms have the meanings set forth below. (i) "Business Facility" means any property that is or at any time has been owned, operated, occupied, controlled or leased by the Company, WW or any Subsidiary in connection with the operation of the Business. -64-

(ii) "Remediation Standard" means a numerical standard that defines the concentrations of Hazardous Materials that may be permitted to remain in any environmental media after an investigation, remediation or containment of a release of Hazardous Materials. (iii) "Cleanup" means any Loss related to investigation, feasibility study, remediation, treatment, removal, transport, disposal, characterization, sampling, health assessment, risk assessment, encapsulation, monitoring, study, report, assessment or analysis with respect to any Pre-Existing Contamination. (iv) "Cost-Effective Methods" means the most cost-effective approach to remediation that is consistent with applicable Environmental Laws or the requirements of a Governmental Entity; provided, however, that Cost-Effective Methods shall not include those that (1) result in the interruption of Parent or its affiliates' business operations on a Business Facility periodically or for a period of more than twenty-four hours; (2) result in the imposition of a deed restriction or other restriction or limitation on the use or development of any property other than a Business Facility, or result in the imposition of a deed restriction or other restriction or limitation on the development of a Business Facility (or any portion thereof) for industrial, retail or commercial purposes; or (3) result in the diminution of the value of a Business Facility or any other property.

ARTICLE IX TAX MATTERS 9.1 Indemnity (a) The Stockholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Parent, WW, the Company and each Subsidiary against the following Taxes (net of any Tax Benefit Actually Realized, as hereinafter defined, by Parent, WW, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries and affiliates as a result of the payment or accrual of any of the following) and against any loss, damage, liability or expense, including reasonable fees for attorneys and other outside consultants with respect to matters not controlled by the Stockholder, incurred in contesting or otherwise in connection with any such Taxes: (i) Taxes imposed on the Company, WW or any Subsidiary with respect to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date; (ii) with respect to taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, Taxes imposed on the Company, WW or any Subsidiary which are allocable, pursuant to Section 9.1(b) hereof, to the -67-

(c) To the extent permitted or required by law or administrative practice, (A) the taxable year of the Company, WW and any Subsidiary which includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on (and including) the Closing Date and, notwithstanding the foregoing, (B) all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring after the Closing (other than transactions contemplated by this Agreement) shall be reported on Parent's consolidated United States federal income Tax Return to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502- -68-

Such Returns shall be prepared in accordance with past practice of the Company or WW (or the Subsidiaries), if any, to the extent permissible under applicable law. (b) The Stockholder shall pay or cause to be paid when due and payable all Taxes with respect to the Company, WW and the Subsidiaries for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date or otherwise described in Section 9.1(a)(i) through (iv) (except for Excluded Taxes) and Parent shall so pay or cause to be paid (i) Taxes for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date (subject to its right of indemnification from the Stockholder for Taxes attributable to the pre-closing portion of any Straddle Period pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii) and Section 9.1(b) hereof) and (ii) Excluded Taxes. (c) The Stockholder may amend any Return of the Company, WW or any Subsidiary filed or required to be filed for any taxable years or periods ending on or before the Closing Date, provided that any such amendment shall not adversely affect any of Parent, the Company, WW or their respective subsidiaries. (d) Neither Parent nor any affiliate of Parent shall (or shall cause or permit the Company, WW or any of their respective Subsidiaries to) amend, refile or otherwise modify any Return relating in whole or in part to the Company, WW or any Subsidiary with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date (or with respect to any Straddle Period) without the prior written consent of the Stockholder, which consent may be withheld by Stockholder in its sole discretion, subject to and in compliance with applicable law. -69-

9.3 Refunds. Any Tax refund (including any interest with respect thereto) relating to the Company, WW or any Subsidiary for any taxable period prior to the Closing Date shall be the property of the Stockholder, and if received by Parent or the Company, WW or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be paid over promptly to the Stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Tax refund (or equivalent benefit to the Stockholder through a reduction in Tax liability) for a period before the Closing Date arising out of the carryback of a loss or credit incurred by the Company, WW or any Subsidiary in a taxable year beginning after the Closing Date shall be the property of Parent and, if received by the Stockholder, shall be paid over promptly to Parent. For purposes of this Section 9.3, where it is necessary to apportion a refund or credit between Parent and the Stockholder for a Straddle Period, such refund or credit shall be apportioned between the period deemed to end at the close of the Closing Date, and the period deemed to begin at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date on the basis of an interim closing of the books, except that refunds or credits of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (e.g., real property Taxes) shall be allocated on a daily basis. In addition, Parent shall cooperate, and cause the Company, WW and any Subsidiary to cooperate, in obtaining any refund that the Stockholder reasonably believes should be available, including through the filing of appropriate forms with the applicable taxing authorities. 9.4 Contests (a) After the Closing, Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholder in writing of any written notice of any pending or threatened audits, notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim (a "Tax Claim") of Parent or of any of the Company, WW and the Subsidiaries which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer, would be grounds for indemnification under this Article IX; provided, however, that a failure to give such notice will not affect Parent's right to indemnification under this Article IX except to the extent, if any, that, but for such failure, the Stockholder could have avoided all or a portion of the Tax liability in question. (b) In the case of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding that relates to periods ending on or before the Closing Date, the Stockholder shall have the right at its expense to participate in and control the conduct of such audit or proceeding; Parent also may participate in any such audit or proceeding and, if the Stockholder does not assume the defense of any such audit or proceeding, Parent may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such audit or proceeding after giving ten days' prior written notice to the Stockholder setting forth the terms and conditions of settlement. In the event that issues relating to a potential adjustment for which the Stockholder would be liable are required to be dealt with in the same proceeding as separate issues relating to a potential adjustment for which Parent would be liable, Parent shall have the right, at its expense, to control the audit or proceeding with respect to the latter issues. (c) With respect to any Tax Claim related to a Straddle Period for which both the Stockholder and Parent or the Company, WW or any Subsidiary could be liable, each party may participate in the audit or proceeding, and (ii) the audit or proceeding shall be controlled by that -70-

party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of the adjustment based on the principles set forth in Section 9.1(b) hereof. (d) If as a result of any Tax Claim or amended Tax Return, there is any change after the Closing Date in an item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit that results in an increase in a Tax liability for which the Stockholder would otherwise be liable pursuant to Section 9.1(a), and such change results in a decrease in the Tax liability of Parent or any affiliate or successor thereof for any taxable year or period beginning after the Closing Date or for the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date, the Stockholder shall not be liable pursuant to Section 9.1(a) with respect to such increase to the extent of such decrease. If as a result of any Tax Claim or amended Tax Return, there is any change after the Closing Date in an item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit that results in an increase in a Tax liability for which Parent would otherwise be liable pursuant to Section 9.1(a), and such change results in a decrease in the Tax liability of the Stockholder or any affiliate or successor thereof for any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date or for the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (other than by reason of a carryback of losses or deductions), Parent shall not be liable pursuant to Section 9.1(a) with respect to such increase to the extent of such decrease. (e) Neither Parent nor the Stockholder shall enter into any compromise or agree to settle any Tax Claim which would adversely affect the other party for such year or a subsequent year without the written consent of the other party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Parent and the Stockholder agree to cooperate, and Parent agrees to cause the Company, WW and any Subsidiary to cooperate, in the defense against or compromise of any Tax Claim. 9.5 Conveyance Taxes. The Stockholder and Parent shall each pay one-half of any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer, and stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration, and other fees, and any similar Taxes which become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than transfers of assets contemplated by Section 5.14 hereof ("Transfer Taxes"). Notwithstanding Section 9.2, which shall not apply to Returns relating to Transfer Taxes, any Returns that must be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed when due by the party primarily or customarily responsible under the applicable local law for filing such Returns, and such party will use its reasonable efforts to provide such Returns to the other party at least 10 days prior to the due date of such Returns. 9.6 Miscellaneous (a) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Stockholder and Parent agree to treat all payments made by either of them to or for the benefit of the other (including any payments to the Company, WW or any Subsidiary) under this Article IX and under other indemnity provisions of this Agreement as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes. -71-

(b) Any tax sharing agreement, arrangement or policy (whether written or oral) between the Stockholder and the Company, WW or any Subsidiary shall be terminated immediately prior to the Closing. (c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the Stockholder to indemnify and hold harmless Parent, the Company, WW and any Subsidiary pursuant to this Article IX, and the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.8 hereof shall terminate at the close of business on the 30th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof). The obligations of Parent to indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder pursuant to this Article IX shall terminate at the close of business on the 30th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof). (d) Resolution of All Tax-Related Disputes. In the event that the Stockholder and Parent cannot agree on the calculation of any amount relating to Taxes or the interpretation or application of any provision of this Agreement relating to Taxes, such dispute shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreeable to each of the Stockholder and Parent, whose decision shall be final and binding upon all persons involved and whose expenses shall be shared equally by the Stockholder and Parent. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all matters relating to Taxes shall be governed by this Article IX. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Article IX and the any other section of this Agreement, this Article IX shall govern and control. (f) "Tax Benefits" shall mean the sum of the amount by which the actual Tax liability (after giving effect to any alternative minimum or similar Tax) of a corporation to the appropriate taxing authority is reduced (including, without limitation, by or as a result of a deduction, increase in basis, entitlement to refund, credit or otherwise, whether available in the current taxable year, as an adjustment to the taxable income in any other taxable year or as a carryforward or carryback, as applicable) plus any interest (on an after-Tax basis) from such government or jurisdiction relating to such Tax liability. For purposes of this Agreement, a Tax Benefit shall be deemed to have been "Actually Realized" at the time any refund of Taxes is actually received or applied against other Taxes due, or at the time of the filing of a Tax Return (including any Tax Return relating to estimated Taxes) on which a loss, deduction or credit or increase in basis is applied to reduce the amount of Taxes which would otherwise be payable. In accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (f), Parent and the Stockholder agree that for purposes of this Agreement, where a Tax Benefit may be realized that may result in the payment to, or reduce a payment by, the other party hereto, each party will as promptly as practicable take or cause its affiliates to take such reasonable or appropriate steps (including, without limitation, the filing of an amended Tax Return or claim for refund) to obtain at the earliest possible time any such reasonable available Tax Benefit. -72-

(g) For purposes of any Tax Benefit Actually Realized determined under Section 9.6(f) of this Agreement, no later than 90 days after the filing of a Tax Return for any taxable period that includes a date upon which any amount was paid or accrued by Parent, the Company, WW or their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates, on the one hand, or the Stockholder or its affiliates, on the other hand (each an "Indemnified Party"), in respect of a claim for which the Stockholder is required to indemnify Parent or Parent is required to indemnify Stockholder, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement (the "Indemnifying Party"), Parent shall provide Stockholder or Stockholder shall provide Parent, as appropriate, a detailed statement (the "Tax Benefit Statement") specifying the amount, if any, of any Tax Benefit that was Actually Realized by the Indemnified Parties for such Tax period. To the extent that any deductions or other Tax items (including basis) that could give rise to a Tax reduction or savings do not result in the actual realization of such a Tax reduction or savings in the year described in the previous sentence, this Section 9.6(g) shall apply to each subsequent taxable period of the Indemnified Parties until either such Tax savings are Actually Realized (resulting in a Tax Benefit) or the losses or other carryforwards to which such deductions or other Tax items (including basis) gave rise expire unused, if applicable. For each relevant taxable period, the Indemnifying Party shall be provided with full access to the non-proprietary work papers and other materials and information of the Indemnified Parties' accountants in connection with the review of the Tax Benefit Statement. If the Indemnifying Party disagrees in any respect with the computation of the amount of the Tax Benefit Actually Realized set forth in the Tax Benefit Statement, the Indemnifying Party may, on or prior to 45 days after the receipt of the Tax Benefit Statement, deliver a notice to the Indemnified Parties setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the Indemnifying Party's disagreement therewith ("Tax Benefit Dispute Notice"). If no Tax Benefit Dispute Notice is received by the Indemnified Parties on or prior to the 45th day after the Indemnifying Party's receipt of the Tax Benefit Statement from Parent, the Tax Benefit Statement shall be deemed accepted by the Indemnifying Party. (h) Payments. Parent shall pay all amounts for indemnification for which it is liable pursuant to this Agreement in cash; provided, however, that, if and to the extent any such cash payment (the "Excess Cash Payment") would, in the opinion of Skadden, cause Skadden to no longer be able to issue an opinion that each of the Mergers will qualify as a reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Code, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pay such Excess Cash Payment in Parent Common Stock (valued in accordance with Section 7.2(b)); provided, further, that in no event will Parent be obligated to pay such Excess Cash Payment in Parent Common Stock unless, in the opinion of counsel to Parent, such payment in Parent Common Stock would be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision. 10.6 Other Remedies.

The directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time, from and after the Effective Time, shall be the directors of the Surviving Corpora tion, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until such director's successor is duly elected and qualified in the manner provided in the Surviving Corporation's certificate of incorporation and by-laws, or as otherwise provided by applicable law. 1.7 OFFICERS.

prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. 2.2 DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION. (a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent and PHH shall deposit or cause to be deposited in trust (the "Payment Fund") with an agent desig nated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Independent Committee (the "Payment Agent") for the benefit of the holders of certificates representing the Shares issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time (collectively, "Certificates"), the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by the Surviving Corporation, in (i) obligations of or guaranteed by the United States, and (ii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements and bankers' acceptances of any bank or trust company organized under federal law or under the law of any state of the United States or of the District of Columbia that has capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $1 billion or in money market funds which are invested substantially in such investments. Any net earnings with respect thereto shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation as and when requested by the Surviving Corporation. (b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Shares cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof): (i) a letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Payment Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent reasonably specifies), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of each Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration with respect to each of the Shares formerly represented thereby. (c) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to pay to the holders of a Certificate, as soon as practicable after receipt of any Certificate (or in lieu of any such Certificate which has been lost, stolen or destroyed, an affidavit of lost, stolen or destroyed share certificates (including customary indemnity or bond against loss) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent) together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other 5

documents as Parent or the Payment Agent reasonably request, in exchange therefor a check in the amount equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Shares represented by such Certificate. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any cash payable upon the surrender of any Certificate. Each Certificate surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(c) shall be cancelled forthwith. (d) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to the transferee only if (i) the Certificate representing such Shares surrendered to the Payment Agent in accordance with Section 2.2(c) hereof is properly endorsed for transfer or is accompanied by appropriate and properly endorsed stock powers and is otherwise in proper form to effect such transfer, (ii) the Person requesting such transfer pays to the Payment Agent any transfer or other taxes payable by reason of such transfer or establishes to the satisfaction of the Payment Agent that such taxes have been paid or are not required to be paid, and (iii) such Person establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such transfer would not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws. (e) Subject to Section 2.3, at and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate that represented issued and outstanding Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, except for the right to surrender his or her Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Shares represented by such Certificate. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, and no transfer of Shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, except as otherwise provided by applicable law. (f) The Merger Consideration paid in the Merger shall be net to the holder of Shares in cash, and without interest thereon, subject to reduction only for any applicable withholding Taxes (as defined below). (g) Promptly following the date which is 180 days after the Effective Date, the Payment Agent shall deliver to the Surviving Corporation all cash (including any interest received with respect thereto), Certificates and other docu ments in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Payment Agent's duties shall terminate. Thereafter, each holder of a Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) may surrender such Certificate to the Surviving Corporation and (subject to any applica ble abandoned property, escheat or similar law) receive in consideration therefor (and 6

only as general creditors thereof) the aggregate Merger Consideration relating thereto, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no member of the Acquisition Group, nor the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Payment Agent shall be liable to a holder of a Certificate for any Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. (h) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Payment Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(a) to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent or PHH upon demand. 2.3 DISSENTING SHARES. Notwithstanding anything in this Agree ment to the contrary, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1, unless such holders fail to perfect or withdraw or otherwise lose their rights to appraisal. Instead, ownership of such Shares shall entitle the holder thereof to receive the consideration determined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if such holder fails to perfect or effectively with draws such holder's right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, each of such Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted, at the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates in the manner provided in Section 2.2 hereof. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands (or withdrawals of demands) for appraisal of any Shares received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any such demands for appraisal or offer to settle, or settle, any such demands. 2.4 TREATMENT OF COMPANY OPTIONS. (a) Subject to Section 2.4(b), the Company shall take all action necessary so that each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, an "Option") granted under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan and 2000 Incentive Compensation Plan (collectively, the "Assumed Option Plans" and, individually, an "Assumed Option Plan") outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Effective 7

Time in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Option immedi ately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consider ation over the per share exercise price of such Option, to be delivered by the Surviv ing Corporation promptly following the Effective Time. All applicable withholding taxes attributable to the payments made hereunder shall be deducted from the amounts payable under this Section 2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or Section 2.4(b), any Option with an exercise price greater than the Merger Consideration immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into an Assumed Option in accordance with Section 2.4(c), whether or not the holder thereof shall have made a Retention Election with respect to such Option in accordance with Section 2.4(b). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of each holder of Options to the foregoing treatment of such Options to the extent required under the Assumed Option Plans pursuant to which such Options were granted. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(a), each person who, on or prior to the Effective Date, is the holder of an outstanding and unexer cised Option shall be entitled, with respect to all or any portion of such holder's Option, to make an unconditional election to the Company in writing (a "Retention Election") on or prior to the Effective Date, to convert, as of the Effective Time, such portion of their Options as may be specified in such Retention Election into options to purchase shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Parent ("Cendant Common Stock"), as set forth in subsection (c) below, in lieu of receiving a cash payment, if any, in consideration for the cancellation of such portion of their Options in the manner described in Section 2.4(a). (c) Any portion of an Option with respect to which a timely Retention Election has been delivered to the Company (the "Elected Portion") shall, at the Effective Time, become and represent an option to purchase Cendant Common Stock; and Parent shall assume each such option (hereinafter, an "Assumed Option") subject to the terms of the applicable Assumed Option Plan, in each case as hereto fore amended or restated, as the case may be, and the agreement evidencing the grant thereunder of such Assumed Option; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time, (i) the number of shares of Cendant Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of such Assumed Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were purchasable under such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (as defined below), and rounded up or down to the nearest whole share, and (ii) the per share exercise price under each such Assumed Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price of each such Assumed Option by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding up or down to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that in the 8

case of any Options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Code, the adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424(a) of the Code. The terms of the Assumed Option shall be the same as the original Option except that all references to the Company shall be deemed to be references to Parent. The terms of each Assumed Option shall, to the extent provided in the applicable Assumed Option Plan, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Cendant Common Stock on or subsequent to the Effective Time. The "Exchange Ratio" shall be equal to the ratio obtained by dividing the amount of the Merger Consideration by the average closing price of one share of Cendant Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date. (d) The parties acknowledge that each Option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under the Assumed Option Plans shall become fully vested and exercisable in connection with consummation of the Merger in accor dance with and subject to the terms of such Option and the relevant Assumed Option Plan. 2.5 ADJUSTMENTS. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Shares shall occur in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including by reason of any reclassi fication, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of Shares, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the cash payable pursuant to the Offer, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted. 2.6 STOCKHOLDERS MEETING. (a) The Company, acting through the Board, shall, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its stockholders (the "Stock holders Meeting") for the purpose of considering and taking action upon the adoption of this Agreement; (ii) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a preliminary proxy statement relating to this Agreement and the Merger as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and use its commer cially reasonable efforts to obtain and furnish the information required to be included 9

in such proxy statement and, after consultation with Parent, respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC and its staff with respect to the preliminary proxy statement and cause a definitive proxy statement relating to this Agreement and the Merger (such proxy statement, together with any and all amendments or supplements thereto, the "Proxy Statement") to be mailed to its stockholders at the earliest practicable time; (iii) include in the Proxy Statement the recommendations of the Independent Committee and the Board that stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (as the same may be amended, modified or withdrawn in accordance with Section 5.2(d) hereof); and (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from holders of Shares proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and take all other action necessary or advisable to secure, at the Stockholders Meeting, the affirmative vote of (A) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (voting as one class, with each share of Company Common Stock having one vote) and (B) the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Stockholders Meeting by holders of Shares in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (the "Company Stock holder Approval"). The Company shall cause all Shares for which valid proxies have been submitted and not revoked to be voted at the Stockholders Meeting in accor dance with the instructions on such proxies. (b) Once the Stockholders Meeting has been called and noticed, the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Stockholders Meeting (other than for the absence of a quorum) without the prior written consent of Parent. (c) Parent, PHH and Purchaser agree to promptly provide the Company with the information concerning Parent, PHH and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates required to be included in the Proxy Statement. At the Stock holders Meeting, Parent, PHH and Purchaser shall vote, or cause to be voted, all shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by them or any of their respective Subsidiaries in favor of the adoption of this Agreement. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Independent Committee changes its recommenda tion of this Agreement and the Merger in accordance with Section 5.2(d) hereof and this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Article VII hereof, then, without limiting the Company's ability to disclose the recommendations of the Board and the Independent Committee in the Proxy Statement: 10

(i) in performing its obligations under this Section 2.6, the Company shall not be obligated to solicit from holders of Shares proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or to take all action necessary or advisable to secure, at the Stockholders Meeting, the Company Stockholders Approval, but instead shall be obligated to solicit impartially from holders of Shares proxies to be voted at the Stockholders Meeting (making no instructions to vote in favor or against, but merely to return a completed proxy card) and to take all action necessary or advisable to maximize, at the Stockholders Meeting, the number of proxies submitted by holders of Shares; (ii) the Company shall remain obligated to vote all unspecified but executed proxies submitted by holders of Shares in favor of the adoption of this Agreement; (iii) Parent and its affiliates and agents shall have the right, as a participant in the Company's solicitation of proxies, to communicate with and solicit from holders of Shares the submission of Company proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to take all actions necessary or advisable to secure, at the Stockholders Meeting, the Company Stockholders Approval and otherwise to act as a participant in the Company's solicitation; and (iv) The Company shall cooperate with Parent in connec tion with any actions taken by it pursuant to clause (d)(ii) above and shall make any filings under Federal securities laws required in connection therewith.

(a) Except as set forth below, from and after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, through any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or through any officer, director, employee, investment banker, agent or other representative of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, (i) encourage, invite, initiate or solicit any inquiries relating to or the submission or making of a proposal by any Person with respect to a Third-Party Acquisition (as defined below) or (ii) participate in, or encourage, invite, initiate or solicit, negotiations or discussions with, or furnish or cause to be furnished any information to, any Person relating to a Third-Party Acquisition. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall immediately (i) cease, or cause to be ceased, any discussions or negotiations with any Person, entity or group in connection with any proposed or potential Third-Party Acquisition and shall seek to have returned to the Company any confidential information provided in any such discussions or negotiations and (ii) take all actions necessary to rescind the Company's stock repurchase program authorized by the Board on August 9, 2000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Stockholders Meeting, if the Company, the Board or the Independent Committee, without being in violation of the terms of this Section 5.2, receives an unsolicited bona fide written proposal from any Person or group with respect to a Third-Party Acquisition which could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (as defined below), then the Company may, directly or indirectly, furnish information and access to such Person or group pursuant to an appropriate confidentiality agreement, and may participate in discussions and negotiations with, such Person or group; provided, however, that the terms of such confidentiality agreement shall have terms that are not less restrictive 32

than the terms set forth in the confidentiality agreement between the Company and Parent, dated as of July 31, 2000 (the "Confidentiality Agreement"). (b) The Company shall within twenty-four (24) hours notify Parent in writing upon receipt of any proposal, written or oral, relating to a Third- Party Acquisition or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any pending, proposed or contemplated Third-Party Acquisition or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company or any Subsidiary by any Person that informs the Board or the Independent Committee that it is considering making, or has made, a proposal relating to a Third- Party Acquisition. Such notice shall identify the Person submitting the proposal, attach a copy of any written correspondence or other written materials relating to such proposal, summarize any significant terms of such proposal not reflected in any such attached materials, state whether the Company is providing or intends to provide the Person or group making such proposal with access to information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as provided in this Section 5.2 and, if it proposes to provide such access to information, state that such proposal could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and the basis for such conclusion. The Company also shall promptly notify Parent of any significant development relating to any inquiries, discussions, negotiations, proposals or requests for information concerning any Third-Party Acquisition. The Company shall keep Parent informed of the status of any such negotiations and shall further update, to the extent of any significant developments, the information required to be provided in each notice upon the request of Parent. (c) Except as provided in subparagraph (d) below, neither the Board nor the Independent Committee shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, or refuse or fail at Parent's request to reaffirm, (A) the approval by the Board of this Agreement or the Merger, (B) the favorable recommendation of the Independent Committee and the Board with respect thereto, or (C) the Board's recommendation to stockholders of the Company that they vote their shares of Company Common Stock in favor of adoption of this Agreement, and the Board's direction that this Agreement be submitted to stockholders for such adoption; (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Third- Party Acquisition; or (iii) cause the Company to enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, contract, agreement (whether written or oral) or memorandum of understanding (each, a "Company Acquisition Agreement") related to any Third-Party Acquisition. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Independent Committee determines in good faith, after receipt of advice of its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would constitute a breach of the 33

Board's fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under applicable law, the Independent Committee (and the Board acting on the recommendation of the Independent Committee) may (i) withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger and disclose such withdrawal or modification to the Company's stockholders; and, (ii) solely in relation to a Third- Party Acquisition that constitutes a Superior Proposal, provided the Board, the Independent Committee and the Company have not violated the terms of this Section 5.2, (A) recommend such Superior Proposal, and/or (B) following the Stockholders Meeting, if the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained, terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(d)(iii) hereof and, contemporaneously with such termination, cause the Company to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, provided, however, that (x) prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Company shall have paid Parent by wire transfer the amount payable pursuant to Section 7.3 and (y) prior to taking the action described in clause (B) above, the Independent Committee shall have (1) given Parent at least three Business Days' prior written notice that the Company intends to terminate this Agreement and provided Parent with a reasonable opportunity to respond to any such Superior Proposal (which response could include a proposal to revise the terms of the Transactions) and (2) fully considered any such response by Parent and concluded that, notwithstanding such response, such proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal in relation to the Transactions, as the terms of the Transactions may be proposed to be revised by Parent's response. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Company to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders Meeting in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof shall not be affected by the commencement, proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of a Third-Party Acquisition or a Superior Proposal or by the taking of any action by the Board or the Independent Committee in accordance with this Section 5.2. No action taken by the Board or the Independent Committee in accordance with this Section 5.2 shall constitute a breach of any other section of this Agreement. (e) As used in this Agreement, the term "Third-Party Acquisition" shall mean any of the following events: (i) the acquisition of the Company by merger, purchase of stock or assets, joint venture or otherwise by, or a "merger of equals" with, any Person (which includes a "person," as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than a member of the Acquisition Group (a "Third Party"); (ii) the acquisition by a Third Party of any material portion (which shall include twenty percent (20%) or more) of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (iii) the acquisition by a Third Party of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; (iv) the adoption by the Company of a plan of liquidation or the declaration or payment of an extraordinary dividend; or (v) the repurchase by the Company or any of its 34

Subsidiaries of more than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. (f) For purposes of this Agreement, "Superior Proposal" means any bona fide written proposal to acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, all of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to be followed by a pro rata distribution of the sale proceeds to stockholders of the Company, that (i) is not subject to any financing conditions or contingencies, (ii) provides holders of Company Common Stock with per share consideration that the Independent Committee determines in good faith, after receipt of advice of its financial advisor, is more favorable from a financial point of view than the consideration to be received by holders of Company Common Stock in the Merger, (iii) is determined by the Independent Committee in its good faith judgment, after receipt of advice of its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, to be likely of being completed (taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, the Person making the proposal and the expected timing to complete the proposal), (iv) does not, in the definitive Company Acquisition Agreement, contain any "due diligence" conditions, and (v) has not been obtained by or on behalf of the Company in violation of this Section 5.2. 5.3 ACCESS TO INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY. (a) Until the Effective Date, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financing sources and other representatives of Parent, reasonable access during normal business hours to its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records; furnish to Parent all information concerning its business, properties, and personnel as Parent may reasonably request or has reasonably requested; and use reasonable best efforts to make available during normal business hours to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financing sources and other representatives of Parent the appropriate individuals (including management personnel, attorneys, accountants and other professionals) for discussion of the Company's business, properties, prospects and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. (b) Parent shall keep all information disclosed to the persons identified in clause (a) above pursuant to this Agreement confidential in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. (c) As soon as practicable (but in no case later than 21 days) after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall permit Parent to electronically link the Company's financial reporting system to Parent's financial reporting 35

consolidation system ("Hyperion"). The link to Hyperion will be completed by Parent's financial reporting staff, with assistance from the Company's accounting staff, at no incremental cost to the Company. Parent will provide the necessary Hyperion and ancillary software to be installed on a computer in the Company's accounting department. 5.4 CONSENTS; APPROVALS. (a) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall each use its reasonable best efforts (which efforts, to the extent reasonably practicable, shall be made prior to the consummation of the Merger), and cooperate with each other, to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders (including all rulings and approvals of all United States and foreign Governmental Entities), and the Company, Parent, PHH and Merger Sub shall make all filings (including all filings with United States and foreign Governmental Entities) required in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, Parent, PHH and Merger Sub and the consummation by them of the Transactions. (b) Each party hereto shall make an appropriate filing of a notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions within fifteen Business Days after the date hereof, shall as promptly as practicable supply any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act, and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. In addition, each party hereto shall promptly make any other filing that may be required under any antitrust law or by any antitrust authority and shall as promptly as practicable supply and additional information and documentary material that may be required in connection therewith. 5.5 INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. (a) From and after the Effective Date, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, an officer or director of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries (the "Covered Parties") against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement with the approval of the indemnifying party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) incurred in connection with any threatened or actual action, suit or proceeding based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company ("Indemnified Liabilities"), including all 36

Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case to the fullest extent that a corporation is permitted by law to indemnify its own directors or officers, as the case may be. In the event any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation is brought against any Covered Party, the indemnifying parties shall assume and direct all aspects of the defense thereof, including settlement, and the Covered Party shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter. The Covered Party shall have a right to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such matter with its own counsel and at its own expense. Notwithstanding the right of the indemnifying parties to assume and control the defense of such litigation, claim or proceeding, such Covered Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such litigation, claim or proceeding, and the indemnifying parties shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel and shall pay such fees, costs and expenses promptly after receipt of an invoice from such Covered Party if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying parties to represent such Covered Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the defendants in, or targets of, any such litigation, claim or proceeding shall have been advised by counsel that there may be legal defenses available to it or to other Covered Parties which are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying parties or (iii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to such Covered Party, in the exercise of the Covered Party's reasonable judgment, to represent such Covered Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such litigation, claim or proceeding. The Covered Parties as a group shall be represented by a single law firm (plus no more than one local counsel in any jurisdiction) with respect to each such matter unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Covered Parties. The indemnifying parties shall not settle any such matter unless (i) the Covered Party gives prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) the terms of the settlement provide that the Covered Party shall have no responsibility for the discharge of any settlement amount and impose no other obligations or duties on the Covered Party, and the settlement discharges all rights against the Covered Party with respect to such matter. Any Covered Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.5, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Parent and the Surviving Corporation (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this Section 5.5, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying parties). Each Covered Party shall be entitled to the advancement of expenses to the full extent permitted by law in connection with any such action (subject to tendering any undertaking to repay such expenses, to the extent required by applicable law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there is any conflict between this Section 5.5(a) and the terms of the Amended and 37

Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and/or Amended and Restated By-laws, as the case may be, shall prevail. (b) All rights to indemnification, all limitations on liability and all rights to advancement of expenses existing in favor of a Covered Party as provided herein, in the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated By-Laws or other indemnification agreements as in effect as of the date hereof shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect, without any amendment thereto, for a period of six years from the Effective Time to the extent such rights are consistent with applicable law; provided that in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of any and all such claims; provided further, that any determination required to be made with respect to whether a Covered Party's conduct complies with the standards set forth under applicable law, the Company's Amended Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated By-Laws or such agreements, as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Covered Party and reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation. (c) In the event that Cendant or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 5.5, proper provision shall be made so that such successors, assigns and transferees, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5, and none of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be taken until such provision is made. (d) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Cendant shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its successors to maintain in effect, without any lapses in coverage, policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance (or a "tail" policy) for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance policies as of the date hereof, providing coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Company's current directors' and officers' liability insurance policies to the extent that such liability insurance can be maintained at an annual cost to the Surviving Corporation of not greater than 200 percent of the premium for the current Company directors' and officers' liability insurance; provided that if such insurance (or "tail" policy) cannot be so maintained at such cost, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain as much of such insurance as 38

can be so maintained at a cost equal to 200 percent (200%) of the current annual premiums of the Company for such insurance. 5.6 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. (a) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on December 31, 2001, Parent shall cause all current and former employees and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are entitled to receive compensation and benefits as of the Effective Time, other than employees covered by collective bargaining agreements, to receive (i) the salary or wage level and bonus opportunity, to the extent applicable, not materially less favorable in the aggregate than that in effect on the date hereof and (ii) benefits, perquisites and other terms and conditions of employment that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate than the benefits, perquisites and other terms and conditions that they were entitled to receive on the date hereof. (b) Subject to Section 5.6(a) hereof, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall honor, pay, perform and satisfy any and all liabilities, obligations and responsibilities to, or in respect of, each employee and officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and each former employee and officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as of the Effective Time arising under the terms of, or in connection with, any employee benefit, fringe benefit, deferred compensation or incentive compensation plan or arrangement or any employment, consulting, retention, severance, change-of-control or similar agreement, in each case, to the extent listed in Section 3.14(a) or 3.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and in accordance with the terms thereof in effect on the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until December 31, 2001, Parent shall keep in effect all severance and retention plans, practices and policies that are applicable to employees and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof. (c) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, give Continuing Employees full credit for purposes of eligibility and vesting under any employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent or the Surviving Corporation for such Continuing Employees' service with the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their respective predecessors to the same extent recognized by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any such predecessor for similar purposes immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, give Continuing Employees full credit for purposes of the determination of benefits under any employee benefit plans or arrangements in effect as of the date hereof maintained by Parent for such Continuing Employees' service with the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company 39

or any of their respective predecessors to the same extent recognized by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any such predecessor for similar purposes immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any welfare plan that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Effective Time under any welfare plan maintained for the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co- payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any applicable co-payment, deductible or out-of-pocket requirements in respect of the year during which the Effective Time occurs under any welfare plans that such employees are eligible to participate in after the Effective Time to the same extent as if those deductibles or co-payments had been paid under the welfare plans for which such employees are eligible after the Effective Time. (d) Nothing contained herein shall constitute assurance of continued employment of any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time. 5.7 NOTE TENDER OFFER. Parent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, commence a tender offer and consent solicitation to repurchase any and all of the outstanding Notes (the "Note Tender Offer") on terms and conditions determined solely by Parent. The Note Tender Offer shall be effected in compliance with applicable laws and SEC rules and regulations. The Company shall cooperate with Parent, PHH and Merger Sub in connection with the preparation of all documents and the making of all filings required in connection with the Note Tender Offer and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Note Tender Offer; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (i) such Note Tender Offer shall be consummated no earlier than the Closing Date, (ii) the Company shall have no obligation to provide any funds to consummate the Note Tender Offer, and (iii) Parent or PHH shall provide the funds required to consummate the Note Tender Offer on or after the Effective Time, together with all related fees and expenses. 5.8 NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN MATTERS.

cause any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement to be materially untrue or inaccurate, (ii) any failure of the Company or Parent, PHH or Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event known to it, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which is reasonably likely to cause the failure by such party materially to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; (iii) the occurrence of any other event known to it which would be reasonably likely (A) to have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) to cause any condition set forth in Article VI to be unsatisfied in any material respect at any time prior to the Effective Time; or (iv) any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened which questions or challenges the validity of this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice. 5.9 FURTHER ACTION. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to obtain in a timely manner all necessary waivers, consents and approvals and to effect all necessary registrations and filings, and otherwise to satisfy or cause to be satisfied all conditions precedent to its obligations under this Agreement. 5.10 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. Parent, PHH, Merger Sub and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any public statement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any party may, without the prior consent of the others, issue such press release or make such public statement as may, upon the advice of counsel, be required by law or the rules and regulations of The New York Stock Exchange, in advance of obtaining such prior consent, in which case, the parties shall cooperate to reach mutual agreement as to the language of any such report, statement or press release. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, PHH, Merger Sub and the Company are each issuing press releases to be mutually agreed upon with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions. 5.11 TRANSFER TAXES.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT The Borrower has requested that the Lenders establish a $1,750,000,000 committed revolving credit facility pursuant to which Revolving Credit Loans may be made to, and Letters of Credit issued for the account of, the Borrower (of which not more than the amounts described herein at any time shall consist of Letters of Credit, with an exception for the Settlement Letter of Credit). In addition, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide a procedure pursuant to which each Lender may bid on an uncommitted basis on short-term borrowings by the Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent is willing to act as agent for the Lenders, and each Lender is willing to make Loans to the Borrower, to issue the Settlement Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower and to participate in other Letters of Credit. Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 1. DEFINITIONS For the purposes hereof unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated, all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings accorded to them under GAAP and all terms defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings accorded to them therein: "ABR Borrowing" shall mean a Borrowing comprised of ABR Loans. "ABR Loan" shall mean any Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the provisions of Article 2. "Addendum" shall mean an instrument, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, by which a Lender becomes a party to this Agreement.

2 "Affiliate" shall mean any Person which, directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Borrower. For purposes of this definition, a Person shall be deemed to be "controlled by" another if such latter Person possesses, directly or indirectly, power either to (i) vote 10% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such controlled Person or (ii) direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such controlled Person whether by contract or otherwise. "Alternate Base Rate" shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards to the nearest 1/16 of 1% if not already an integral multiple of 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect for such day plus 1/2 of 1% or (c) the Base CD Rate in effect for such day plus 1%. For purposes hereof, "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate per annum publicly announced by the Administrative Agent from time to time as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City. For purposes of this Agreement, any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date such change in the Prime Rate is announced as effective. "Federal Funds Effective Rate" shall mean, for any period, a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal for each day during such period to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as published on the succeeding Business Day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or, if such rate is not so published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for the day of such transactions received by the Administrative Agent from three Federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by it. "Base CD Rate" shall mean the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Average Weekly Three-Month Secondary CD Rate times (ii) a fraction of which the numerator is 100% and the denominator is 100% minus the aggregate rates of (A) basic and supplemental reserve requirements in effect on the date of effectiveness of such Average Weekly Three-Month Secondary CD Rate, as set forth below, under Regulation D of the Board applicable to certificates of deposit in units of $100,000 or more issued by a "member bank" located in a "reserve city" (as such terms are used in Regulation D) and (B) marginal reserve requirements in effect on such date of effectiveness under Regulation D applicable to time deposits of a "member bank" and (b) the Assessment Rate. "Average Weekly Three-Month Secondary CD Rate" shall mean the three-month secondary certificate of

3 deposit ("CD") rate for the most recent weekly period covered therein in the Federal Reserve Statistical release entitled "Weekly Summary of Lending and Credit Measures (Averages of daily figures)" released in the week during which occurs the day for which the CD rate is being determined. The CD rate so reported shall be in effect, for the purposes of this definition, for each day of the week in which the release date of such publication occurs. If such publication or a substitute containing the foregoing rate information is not published by the Federal Reserve for any week, such average rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent on the basis of quotations received by it from three New York City negotiable certificate of deposit dealers of recognized standing on the first Business Day of the week succeeding such week for which such rate information is not published. If for any reason the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that it is unable to ascertain the Base CD Rate or Federal Funds Effective Rate, or both, for any reason, including, without limitation, the inability or failure of the Administrative Agent to obtain sufficient bids or publications in accordance with the terms hereof, the Alternate Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) or (c), or both, until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Average Weekly Three-Month Secondary CD Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the CD Rate. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Federal Funds Effective Rate. "Applicable Law" shall mean all provisions of statutes, rules, regulations and orders of governmental bodies or regulatory agencies applicable to a Person, and all orders and decrees of all courts and arbitrators in proceedings or actions in which the Person in question is a party.

The Commitments of the Lenders may be terminated or reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.12 or Article 7. (b) Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or repay and reborrow hereunder, on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Maturity Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein. SECTION 2.2. Loans. (a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4. The Revolving Credit Loans or Competitive Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be (i) in the case of Competitive Loans and LIBOR Loans, in an

For purposes of the calculation required by the immediately preceding sentence, LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Loans and all Loans of a single Interest Rate Type made on a single date shall be considered a single Loan if such Loans have a common Interest Period. (c) Subject to Section 2.6, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by making funds available at the offices of the Administrative.

SECTION 2.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, for acquisitions, support of the Borrower's commercial paper program and refinancing of the Borrower's indebtedness under the Existing 364-Day Credit Agreement.

A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be irrevocable. (e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender whether its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and if so, in what amount and at what Competitive Bid Rate) by telecopy sent by the Administrative Agent, and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the other applicable conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its bid has been accepted. (f) A Competitive Bid Request shall not be made within four Business Days after the date of any previous Competitive Bid

25 Request, or such shorter period as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(h) All notices required by this Section 2.4 shall be given in accordance with Section 9.1.

If no election as to the Interest Rate Type of a Revolving Credit Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.5 of its election to refinance a Revolving Credit Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, then the Borrower shall (unless such Borrowing is repaid at the end of such Interest Period) be deemed to have given notice of an election to refinance such Borrowing with an ABR Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant

26 to this Section 2.5 and of each Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing. SECTION 2.6. Refinancings.

29 the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Revolving Credit Loans and Competitive Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (f) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a "Revolving Credit Note"). (g) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Competitive Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a "Competitive Note"). SECTION 2.9. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, the Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of each LIBOR Revolving Credit Loan, LIBOR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the applicable LIBOR Spread from time to time in effect and (ii) in the case of each LIBOR Competitive Loan, LIBOR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Margin offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5. Interest on each LIBOR Borrowing shall be payable on each applicable Interest Payment Date. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin, if any, for ABR Loans from time to time in effect pursuant to Section 2.22. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the fixed rate of interest offered by the Lender making such Loan and accepted by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4.

30 (d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan. The LIBOR or the Alternate Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.10. Interest on Overdue Amounts. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, in the case of amounts bearing interest determined by reference to the Prime Rate and a year of 360 days in all other cases, equal to (a) in the case of the remainder of the then current Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan, the rate applicable to such Loan under Section 2.9 plus 2% per annum and (b) in the case of any other amount, the rate that would at the time be applicable to an ABR Loan under Section 2.9 plus 2% per annum. SECTION 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the amount of the requested principal amount of such LIBOR Loan are not generally available in the London Interbank Market, or that the rate at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its portion of such LIBOR Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or telecopier notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have determined that circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (a) any request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Competitive Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be of no force and effect and shall be denied by the Administrative Agent and (b) any request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Loan. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

31 SECTION 2.12. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Commitments of all of the Lenders shall be automatically terminated on the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date and (b) September 30, 2000 if the Closing Date has not occurred on or prior to such date. (b) The Total Commitment shall automatically be reduced to $1,250,000,000 on the date that is the second anniversary of the Closing Date. (c) Subject to Section 2.13(b), upon at least three Business Days, prior irrevocable written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Total Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not be entitled to make any such termination or reduction that would reduce the Total Commitment to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans plus the then current L/C Exposure. (d) Each reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on the date of each termination or reduction in the Total Commitment, the Facility Fees on the amount of the Total Commitment so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction. SECTION 2.13. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay any Revolving Credit Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of Section 2.17 but otherwise without premium or penalty, upon prior written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon New York City time at least one Business Day in the case of an ABR Loan and at least three Business Days in the case of a LIBOR Loan; provided, however, that each such partial prepayment shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000. The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Borrowing without the consent of the relevant lender. (b) On any date when the sum of the aggregate outstanding Loans (after giving effect to any Borrowings effected on such date)

32 plus the then current L/C Exposure exceeds the Total Commitment, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in such amount as may be necessary so that the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans plus the then current L/C Exposure after giving effect to such prepayment does not exceed the Total Commitment then in effect. Any prepayments required by this paragraph shall be applied to outstanding ABR Loans up to the full amount thereof before they are applied to outstanding LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans. (c) Each notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall specify the specific Borrowing(s), the prepayment date and the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing(s) by the amount stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.13 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid, to the date of prepayment. SECTION 2.14. Eurodollar Reserve Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of, or including, Eurocurrency Liabilities (as defined in Regulation D of the Board), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan made to the Borrower by such Lender, from the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Loan to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) LIBOR for such Interest Period from (ii) the rate obtained by multiplying LIBOR as referred to in clause (i) above by the Statutory Reserves of such Lender for such Interest Period. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) not later than five Business Days before the next Interest Payment Date for such Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Borrower by any Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan. SECTION 2.15. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change in Applicable Law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) (i)

33 shall subject any Lender to, or increase the net amount of, any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding with respect to any LIBOR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender or any other fees or amounts payable hereunder (other than (x) taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or its applicable Lending Office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein (or any tax which is enacted or adopted by such jurisdiction, political subdivision or taxing authority as a direct substitute for any such taxes) or (y) any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge that would not have been imposed but for the failure of any Lender to comply with any certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement), (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, or (iii) shall impose on any Lender or the London Interbank Market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any LIBOR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect thereof by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower shall pay such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increase or reduction to such Lender upon demand by such Lender. (b) If, after the date of this Agreement, any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any Lending Office of such Lender) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of the Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its holding company) could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies or the policies of its holding company, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material,

34 then, from time to time, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction upon demand by such Lender. (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail (i) such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and (ii) the calculation of such amount or amounts referred to in the preceding clause (i), shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after its receipt of the same. (d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any Interest Period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's rights to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to such Interest Period or any other Interest Period. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or condition which shall have been imposed. (e) Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that (i) would cause it to incur any increased cost under this Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.21 or Section 2.24(g) or (ii) would require the Borrower to pay an increased amount under this Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.21 or Section 2.24(g), it will use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of such event or condition and, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender's internal policies, will use its reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Loans of such Lender, or, if applicable to participate in Letters of Credit, through another Lending Office of such Lender if as a result thereof the additional monies which would otherwise be required to be paid or the reduction of amounts receivable by such Lender thereunder in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit would be materially reduced, or any inability to perform would cease to exist, or the increased costs which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.21 or Section 2.24(g) would be materially reduced or the taxes or other amounts otherwise payable under this Section 2.15, Section 2.16,

35 Section 2.21 or Section 2.24(g) would be materially reduced, and if, as determined by such Lender, in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Loans or Letters of Credit through such other Lending Office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Loans or Letters of Credit or such Lender. (f) In the event any Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a notice that LIBOR Loans are no longer available from such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, that amounts are due to such Lender pursuant to paragraph (c) hereof or that any of the events designated in paragraph (e) hereof have occurred, the Borrower may (but subject in any such case to the payments required by Section 2.17), provided that there shall exist no Default or Event of Default, upon at least five Business Days' prior written or telecopier notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, but not more than 30 days after receipt of notice from such Lender, identify to the Administrative Agent a lending institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent which will purchase the Commitment, the amount of outstanding Loans and any participations in Letters of Credit from the Lender providing such notice and such Lender shall thereupon assign its Commitment, any Loans owing to such Lender and any participations in Letters of Credit and the Notes held by such Lender to such replacement lending institution pursuant to Section 9.3. Such notice shall specify an effective date for such assignment and at the time thereof, the Borrower shall pay all accrued interest, Facility Fees, Utilization Fees and all other amounts (including without limitation all amounts payable under this Section) owing hereunder to such Lender as at such effective date for such assignment. SECTION 2.16. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may: (i) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon such Lender shall not submit a Competitive Bid in response to a request for LIBOR Competitive Loans and the Borrower shall be prohibited from requesting LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender hereunder unless such declaration is subsequently withdrawn; and

36 (ii) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event (A) all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.16(b) and (B) all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted LIBOR Loans shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans resulting from the conversion of such LIBOR Loans. (b) For purposes of this Section 2.16, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(a) shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Borrower. SECTION 2.17. Reimbursement of Lenders. (a) The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender on demand for any loss incurred or to be incurred by it in the reemployment of the funds released (i) by any prepayment (for any reason) of any LIBOR or Fixed Rate Loan if such Loan is repaid other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such Loan or (ii) in the event that after the Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under Section 2.5 in respect of LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans or a Competitive Bid Accept/Reject Letter under Section 2.4(d), pursuant to which it has accepted bids of one or more of the Lenders, the applicable Loan is not made on the first day of the Interest Period specified by the Borrower for any reason other than (I) a suspension or limitation under Section 2.16 of the right of the Borrower to select a LIBOR Loan or (II) a breach by a Lender of its obligations hereunder. In the case of such failure to borrow, such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount not borrowed, at a rate of interest equal to the interest rate applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.9, for the period from the date of such failure to borrow, to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds not advanced during the period referred to above. In the case of a payment other than on the last day of the Interest Period for a Loan, such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so paid at a rate of interest equal to the interest rate applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.9, for the period from the date of such payment to the last day of the then current daily Interest Period for such Loan, over (B) the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of the Loan so paid times (y) the current daily yield on U.S. Treasury Securities (at such date of

37 determination) with maturities approximately equal to the remaining Interest Period for such Loan times (z) the number of days remaining in the Interest Period for such Loan. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of computation thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the amount shown as due on any certificate within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the same. (b) In the event the Borrower fails to prepay any Loan on the date specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.13(a), the Borrower on demand by any Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any loss incurred by such Lender as a result of such failure to prepay, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expenses incurred by reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by such Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such prepayment. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of computation thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall be conclusive absent manifest error. SECTION 2.18. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as permitted under Sections 2.14, 2.15(c), 2.16 and 2.17 (i) each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Revolving Credit Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees and Utilization Fees, each reduction of the Total Commitment and each refinancing of any Borrowing with, or conversion of any Borrowing to, a Revolving Credit Borrowing, or continuation of any Borrowing as a Revolving Credit Borrowing, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amount of their outstanding Revolving Credit Loans). Each payment of principal of any Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding

38 Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. Each payment of interest on any Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. For purposes of determining the available Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Competitive Borrowing shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders that shall not have made Loans as part of such Competitive Borrowing) pro rata in accordance with such respective Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing computed in accordance with Section 2.1, to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. SECTION 2.19. Right of Setoff. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any Lender shall have requested the Administrative Agent to declare the Loans immediately due and payable pursuant to Article 7, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by such Lender and any other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to, or for the credit or the account of, the Borrower, against any of and all the obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Loans held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Loans and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 2.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. SECTION 2.20. Manner of Payments. All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds without deduction, setoff or counterclaim at the office of the Administrative Agent's Agent Bank Services Department, 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10081, Attention: Sharon Hambousi, for credit to Cendant Corporation Clearing Account, Account No. 144812905 (Reference: Cendant Corporation Credit Agreement dated August 29, 2000) no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall be due. Interest in respect of any Loan hereunder shall accrue from and including the

39 date of such Loan to, but excluding, the date on which such Loan is paid or refinanced with a Loan of a different Interest Rate Type. SECTION 2.21. United States Withholding. (a) Prior to the date of the initial Loans or the issuance of the initial Letter of Credit hereunder, and from time to time thereafter if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or required because, as a result of a change in Applicable Law or a change in circumstances or otherwise, a previously delivered form or statement becomes incomplete or incorrect in any material respect, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide, if applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with complete, accurate and duly executed forms or other statements prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying such Lender's exemption from, or entitlement to a reduced rate of, United States withholding taxes (including backup withholding taxes) with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder and under the Notes. (b) The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any and all present or future taxes or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, from payments hereunder or under the Notes, if and to the extent that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in good faith determines that such deduction or withholding is required by the law of the United States, including, without limitation, any applicable treaty of the United States. In the event the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall so determine that deduction or withholding of taxes is required, it shall advise the affected Lender as to the basis of such determination prior to actually deducting and withholding such taxes. In the event the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall so deduct or withhold taxes from amounts payable hereunder, it (i) shall pay to or deposit with the appropriate taxing authority in a timely manner the full amount of taxes it has deducted or withheld; (ii) shall provide evidence of payment of such taxes to, or the deposit thereof with, the appropriate taxing authority and a statement setting forth the amount of taxes deducted or withheld, the applicable rate, and any other information or documentation reasonably requested by the Lenders from whom the taxes were deducted or withheld; and (iii) shall forward to such Lenders any receipt for such payment or deposit of the deducted or withheld taxes as may be issued from time to time by the appropriate taxing authority. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder or under the Notes are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject

40 to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States. (c) Each Lender agrees (i) that as between it and the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, it shall be the Person to deduct and withhold taxes, and to the extent required by law it shall deduct and withhold taxes, on amounts that such Lender may remit to any other Person(s) by reason of any undisclosed transfer or assignment of an interest in this Agreement to such other Person(s) pursuant to paragraph (g) of Section 9.3 and (ii) to indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and any officers, directors, agents, or employees of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent against, and to hold them harmless from, any tax, interest, additions to tax, penalties, reasonable counsel and accountants' fees, disbursements or payments arising from the assertion by any appropriate taxing authority of any claim against them relating to a failure to withhold taxes as required by Applicable Law with respect to amounts described in clause (i) of this paragraph (c). (d) Each assignee of a Lender's interest in this Agreement in conformity with Section 9.3 shall be bound by this Section 2.21, so that such assignee will have all of the obligations and provide all of the forms and statements and all indemnities, representations and warranties required to be given under this Section 2.21. (e) In the event that any withholding taxes shall become payable solely as a result of any change in any statute, treaty, ruling, determination or regulation occurring after the Initial Date in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Fundamental Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.21) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. For purposes of this Section 2.21, the term "Initial Date" shall mean (i) in the case of the Administrative Agent, the date hereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender as of the date hereof, the date hereof and (iii) in the case of any other

41 Lender, the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender. SECTION 2.22. Certain Pricing Adjustments. The Facility Fee and the applicable LIBOR Spread in effect from time to time shall be determined in accordance with the following table: S&P/Moody's Rating Applicable Equivalent of the LIBOR Borrower's senior Facility Fee Spread (in unsecured long-term (in Basis Basis debt Points) Points) - ------------------- --------------- -------------- A/A2 or better 8.0 29.5 A-/A3 10.0 40.0 BBB+/Baa1 12.5 50.0 BBB/Baa2 15.0 60.0 BBB-/Baa3 17.5 70.0 BB+/Bal or lower 32.5 117.5 In the event the S&P rating on the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt is not equivalent to the Moody's rating on such debt, the lower rating will determine the Facility Fee and applicable LIBOR Spread. In the event that the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt is rated by only one of S&P and Moody's, then that single rating shall be determinative. In the event that the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt is not rated by either S&P or Moody's, then the Facility Fee and the applicable LIBOR Spread shall be deemed to be calculated as if the lowest rating category set forth above applied. Any increase in the Facility Fee or the applicable LIBOR Spread determined in accordance with the foregoing table shall become effective on the date of announcement or publication by the Borrower or either such rating agency of a reduction in such rating or, in the absence of such announcement or publication, on the effective date of such decreased rating, or on the date of any request by the Borrower to either of such rating agencies not to rate its senior unsecured long-term debt or on the date either of such rating agencies announces it shall no longer rate the Borrower's senior unsecured long-term debt. Any decrease in the Facility Fee or applicable LIBOR Spread shall be effective on the date of announcement or publication by either of such rating agencies of an increase in rating or in the absence of announcement or

42 publication on the effective date of such increase in rating. The applicable margin for ABR Loans shall be 1% less than the applicable LIBOR Spread (but not less than 0%). SECTION 2.23. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. SECTION 2.24. Letters of Credit. (a) (i) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender agrees to issue standby Letters of Credit payable in Dollars from time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitments, upon the request of the Borrower, provided that (A) the Borrower shall not request that any Letter of Credit be issued if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of the then current L/C Exposure plus the aggregate Loans then outstanding would exceed the Total Commitment, (B) in no event shall any Issuing Lender issue (x) any Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than five Business Days before the Maturity Date or (y) any Letter of Credit having an expiration date more than one year after its date of issuance, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (x) above), (C) the Borrower shall not request that an Issuing Lender issue any Letter of Credit (other than the Settlement Letter of Credit) if, after giving effect to such issuance, the L/C Exposure would exceed $250,000,000, and (D) an Issuing Lender shall be prohibited from issuing Letters of Credit hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. (ii) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the applicable Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit in accordance with the percentage which its Commitment represents to the Total Commitment. (iii) Each Letter of Credit may, at the option of the applicable Issuing Lender, provide that such Issuing Lender may (but shall not be required to) pay all or any part of the maximum amount which may at any time be available for drawing thereunder to the beneficiary thereof upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, provided that, if payment is not then due to the beneficiary, such Issuing Lender shall deposit the funds in question in an account with such Issuing Lender to secure payment to the beneficiary and any funds so deposited shall be paid to the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit if conditions to such payment are satisfied or returned to the Administrative Agent

43 for distribution to the Lenders (or, if all Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, to the Borrower) if no payment to the beneficiary has been made and the final date available for drawings under the Letter of Credit has passed. Each payment or deposit of funds by an Issuing Lender as provided in this paragraph shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as a drawing duly honored by such Issuing Lender under the related Letter of Credit. (b) Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender a written notice no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least five Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance provided, however, that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender may agree to a shorter time period. That notice shall specify (i) the Issuing Lender for such Letter of Credit, (ii) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day under the laws of the jurisdiction of the applicable Issuing Lender), (iii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit, (iv) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit and (v) the name and address of the beneficiary. Such notice shall be accompanied by a brief description of the underlying transaction and upon the request of the applicable Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall provide additional details regarding the underlying transaction. Concurrently with the giving of written notice of a request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall specify a precise description of the documents and the verbatim text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit which, if presented by such beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, would require the applicable Issuing Lender to make payment under the Letter of Credit; provided that the applicable Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may require customary changes in any such documents and certificates. Upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the issuance and the amount of each such Lender's respective participation therein. (c) The payment of drafts under any Letter of Credit shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and, in that connection, any Issuing Lender shall be entitled to honor any drafts and accept any documents presented to it by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and believed by such Issuing Lender in good faith to be genuine. No Issuing Lender shall have any duty to inquire as to the accuracy or authenticity of any draft or other drawing documents which may be presented to it, but shall be

44 responsible only to determine in accordance with customary commercial practices that the documents which are required to be presented before payment or acceptance of a draft under any Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of that Letter of Credit. (d) If any Issuing Lender shall make payment on any draft presented under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall give notice of such payment to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and each Lender hereby authorizes and requests such Issuing Lender to advance for its account pursuant to the terms hereof its share of such payment based upon its participation in the Letter of Credit and agrees promptly to reimburse such Issuing Lender in immediately available funds for the Dollar equivalent of the amount so advanced on its behalf. If such reimbursement is not made by any Lender in immediately available funds on the same day on which such Issuing Lender shall have made payment on any such draft, such Lender shall pay interest thereon to such Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Issuing Lender's cost of obtaining overnight funds in the New York Federal Funds Market. (e) In the case of any draft presented under a Letter of Credit which is required to be paid at any time on or before the Maturity Date and provided that the conditions specified in Section 4.2 are then satisfied, such payment shall constitute an ABR Loan hereunder, and interest shall accrue from the date the applicable Issuing Lender makes payment of a draft under the Letter of Credit. If any draft is presented under a Letter of Credit and (i) the conditions specified in Section 4.2 are not satisfied or (ii) if the Commitments have been terminated, then the Borrower will, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the applicable Issuing Lender, in immediately available funds, the full amount of such draft. (f) (i) The Borrower agrees to pay the following amount to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it hereunder: (A) with respect to drawings made under any Letter of Credit, interest, payable on demand, on the amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect of each such drawing from the date of the drawing to, but excluding, the date such amount is reimbursed by the Borrower at a rate which is at all times equal to 2% per annum in excess of the Alternate Base Rate; provided that no such default interest shall be payable if such reimbursement is made from the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.24(e);

45 (B) with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentation and processing charges in accordance with such Issuing Lender's standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be; and (C) a fronting fee computed at the rate agreed to by the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender, on the daily average face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, such fee to be due and payable in arrears on and through the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, on the Maturity Date and on the expiration of the last outstanding Letter of Credit. (ii) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Letters of Credit outstanding, such Lender's pro rata share of a commission on the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such outstanding Letters of Credit calculated at a rate per annum equal to the applicable LIBOR Spread from time to time in effect hereunder. Such commission shall be payable in arrears on and through the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower and on the later of the Maturity Date and the expiration of the last outstanding Letter of Credit. (iii) Promptly upon receipt by any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) of any amount described in clause (i)(A) or (ii) of this Section 2.24(f), or any amount described in Section 2.24(e) previously reimbursed to the applicable Issuing Lender by the Lenders, such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall distribute to each Lender its pro rata share of such amount. Amounts payable under clauses (i)(B) and (i)(C) of this Section 2.24(f) shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender and shall be for its exclusive use. (g) If by reason of (i) any change after the date hereof in Applicable Law, or in the interpretation or administration thereof (including, without limitation, any request, guideline or policy not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, or (ii) compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Lender with any direction, request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority or monetary authority (including any change whether or not proposed or published prior to the date hereof), including, without limitation, Regulation D of the Board:

46 (A) any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall be subject to any tax, levy, charge or withholding of any nature (other than withholding tax imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or any other tax, levy, charge or withholding (i) that is measured with respect to the overall net income of such Issuing Lender or such Lender (or is imposed in lieu of a tax on net income) or of a Lending office of such Issuing Lender or such Lender, and that is imposed by the United States of America, or by the jurisdiction in which such Issuing Lender or such Lender is incorporated, or in which such Lending Office is located, managed or controlled or in which such Issuing Lender or such Lender has its principal office (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) or (ii) that is imposed solely by reason of such Issuing Lender or such Lender failing to make a declaration of, or otherwise to establish, non-residence, or to make any other claim for exemption, or otherwise to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or reporting requirements prescribed under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction, in those cases where such Issuing Lender or such Lender may properly make the declaration or claim or so establish non-residence or otherwise comply) or to any variation thereof or to any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 2.24, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by any Issuing Lender or any Lender; (B) any reserve, deposit or similar requirement is or shall be applicable, imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participations therein purchased by any Lender; or (C) there shall be imposed on any Issuing Lender or any Lender any other condition regarding this Section 2.24, any Letter of Credit or any participation therein; and the result of the foregoing is directly or indirectly to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Lender of issuing, making or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of purchasing or maintaining any participation therein, or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by any Issuing Lender or any Lender, then and in any such case the Issuing Lender or such Lender may, at any time, notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay on demand such amounts as such Issuing Lender or such Lender may specify to be necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt. The determination by any Issuing Lender or any Lender, as the case may be, of any amount due pursuant to this

47 Section 2.24 as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto. (h) If at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding, then either the applicable Issuing Lender(s) or the Required Lenders may, at their option, require the Borrower to deposit Cash Equivalents in a Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to the full amount of the L/C Exposure or to furnish other security acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender(s). Any amounts so delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be applied to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender(s) for the amount of any drawings honored under Letters of Credit issued by it; provided, however, that if prior to the Maturity Date, no Event of Default is then continuing, the Administrative Agent shall return all of such collateral relating to such deposit to the Borrower if requested by it. (i) If at any time, the L/C Exposure exceeds the aggregate Commitments, then the Required Lenders may, at their option, require the Borrower to deposit Cash Equivalents in a Cash Collateral Account in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess or to furnish other security for such excess acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender(s). Any amounts so delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be applied to reimburse the applicable, Issuing Lender(s) for the amount of any drawings honored under Letters of Credit; provided, however, that if subsequent to any such deposit such excess is reduced to an amount less than the portion of such deposited amounts and no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to receive such excess collateral if requested by it. (j) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and such related documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. (k) Notwithstanding the termination of the Commitments and the payment of the Loans, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.24 shall remain in full force and effect until the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall have been irrevocably released from their obligations with regard to any and all Letters of Credit.

48 (l) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to issue no later than five Business Days after a written notice requesting the issuance of the Settlement Letter of Credit is received by the Administrative Agent a standby letter of credit (the "Settlement Letter of Credit"), substantially in the form of Exhibit G, for the account of the Borrower to support a portion of the Borrower's payment obligations under the Settlement. The Settlement Letter of Credit shall be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement (and the other provisions of this Agreement applicable to Letters of Credit (other than Section 2.24(b) but including Section 2.24(e)) shall apply to the Settlement Letter of Credit) provided that: (i) The initial face amount of the Settlement Letter of Credit shall be $1,750,000,000 and the face amount shall thereafter be reduced in accordance with Section 2.24(l)(vii). (ii) The Settlement Letter of Credit shall be deemed not to be a utilization of the $250,000,000 available sublimit for the issuance of the Letters of Credit under Section 2.24(a). (iii) The scheduled expiration date of the Settlement Letter of Credit shall be August 24, 2003 (or any earlier date requested by the Borrower). (iv) The Settlement Letter of Credit will be issued on a several and ratable basis by each of the Lenders, with each Lender's obligations thereunder being set forth therein and being equal to the product of (x) its Commitment Percentage and (y) the drawable amount of the Settlement Letter of Credit. (v) In the event any of the Borrower's reimbursement obligations with respect to the Settlement Letter of Credit are not converted to an ABR Loan as provided in Section 2.24(e), the Borrower shall pay such reimbursement obligations to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, rather than directly to the Lenders, which shall be credited to the Lenders in accordance with Section 8.2(b). (vi) No fronting fee of the type described in Section 2.24(f)(i)(C) shall be payable in respect of the Settlement Letter of Credit. (vii) The drawable amount of the Settlement Letter of Credit and the amount of the Surety Bonds shall be reduced by the Borrower in 12 consecutive quarterly installments by the last Business Day of each March,

49 June, September and December, commencing December 31, 2000. The amount of each of the first four quarterly reductions shall be $150,000,000, and the amount of each of the subsequent eight quarterly reductions shall be $200,000,000, provided that if the amount of the reduction in any quarter exceeds the required amount set forth above, the amount of such excess shall be carried forward and the amount of the required reduction for the next following quarterly installment shall be reduced by such excess. Any reduction of the drawable amount of the Settlement Letter of Credit and the amount of the Surety Bonds shall be applied thereto ratably in accordance with the then respective outstanding amounts thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the issuers of the Surety Bonds do not require a reduction or for any other reason the Surety Bonds are not reduced on any of the required reduction dates in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Borrower will instead reduce the drawable amount of the Settlement Letter of Credit by the amount not so applied (the amounts not so applied the "Unapplied Surety Amounts") to the reduction of the Surety Bonds (such reduction to be in addition to the reduction of the drawable amount of the Settlement Letter of Credit otherwise required to be made); provided, however, that if at any time there exists any Unapplied Surety Amounts, the Borrower, at its option, may elect to first apply all or any portion of such Unapplied Surety Amounts to reduce the amount of the Surety Bonds up to the aggregate amount of such Unapplied Surety Amounts; provided further that (i) such amount applied to reduce the Surety Bonds in excess of the amount that the Surety Bonds would have been reduced without giving effect to this proviso shall reduce the Unapplied Surety Amounts and (ii) any amount in excess of the Unapplied Surety Amounts shall be applied ratably as provided above. 3.

All amounts to be paid to any of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to the Lenders, promptly after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in such Lender's correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, or as such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.

It is understood and agreed that Chase shall have the same rights and powers hereunder (including the right to give such instructions) as the other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers, as well as its rights and powers under other agreements and instruments to which it is or may be party, and engage in other transactions with the Borrower as though it were not the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under this Agreement. SECTION 8.8. Independent Investigation by Lenders.

74 Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has decided to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, issue the Settlement Letter of Credit and issue and participate in the other Letters of Credit hereunder based on its own analysis of the transactions contemplated hereby and of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Issuing Lender shall bear responsibility therefor. SECTION 8.9. Notice of Transfer. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders may deem and treat any Lender which is a party to this Agreement as the owners of such Lender's respective portions of the Loans and Letter of Credit reimbursement rights for all purposes, unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof executed by any such Lender shall have been received by the Administrative Agent and become effective pursuant to Section 9.3. SECTION 8.10. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which with the consent of the Borrower, which will not be unreasonably withheld, shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. SECTION 8.11. Resignation of an Issuing Lender.

75 Any Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, such Issuing Lender shall be discharged from any duties and obligations under this Agreement in its capacity as an Issuing Lender with regard to Letters of Credit not yet issued. After any retiring Issuing Lender's resignation hereunder as an Issuing Lender, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any outstanding Letters of Credit or otherwise with regard to outstanding L/C Exposure and any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Issuing Lender under this Agreement. 9. MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 9.1. Notices. Notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed (or in the case of telegraphic communication, if by telegram, delivered to the telegraph company and, if by telex, telecopy, graphic scanning or other telegraphic communications equipment of the sending party hereto, delivered by such equipment) addressed, if to the Administrative Agent or Chase, to it at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017-2070 Attn: Sandra Miklave, with a copy to Stephanie Parker, or if to the Borrower, to it at 6 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, NJ 07054-0278 Attention: David Johnson, Chief Financial Officer and James E.

SECTION 9.2. Survival of Agreement, Representations and Warranties, etc.

76 All warranties, representations and covenants made by the Borrower herein or in any certificate or other instrument delivered by it or on its behalf in connection with this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall survive the making of the Loans herein contemplated and the issuance and delivery to the Administrative Agent of the Notes regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or on their behalf and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due or to become due hereunder is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitment has not been terminated. All statements in any such certificate or other instrument shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower hereunder. SECTION 9.3. Successors and Assigns; Syndications; Loan Sales; Participations. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party (provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Lenders), and all covenants, promises and agreements by, or on behalf of, the Borrower which are contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Lenders. (b) Each of the Lenders may (but only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders (other than the Issuing Lenders with respect to the Settlement Letter of Credit) and the Borrower, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) assign to one or more banks or other entities either (i) all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it) (a "Ratable Assignment") or (ii) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under and in respect of (A) its Commitment under this Agreement and the same portion of the Revolving Credit Loans at the time owing to it or (B) the Competitive Loans at the time owing to it (including, without limitation, in the case of any such type of Loan, the same portion of the associated Note) (a "Non-Ratable Assignment"); provided, however, that (1) each Non-Ratable Assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations in respect of the Loans and the Commitment (if applicable) which are the subject of such assignment, (2) each Ratable Assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (3) the amount of the

77 Commitment or Competitive Loans, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Lender) shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (4) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment (if required hereunder) and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, and from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be not earlier than five Business Days after the date of acceptance and recording by the Administrative Agent, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). (c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.3, each Lender may at any time make a Ratable Assignment or a Non-Ratable Assignment of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) any Affiliate of such Lender or (ii) any other Lender hereunder. (d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in, or in connection with, this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Fundamental Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) such Lender assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under the Fundamental Documents; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with

78 copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) (or if none of such financial statements shall have then been delivered, then copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 3.4 hereof) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Fundamental Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and will perform in accordance with its terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (e) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address at which notices are to be given to it pursuant to Section 9.1, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. (f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any Notes subject to such assignment (if required hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee, the Administrative Agent (subject to the right, if any, of the Borrower to require its consent thereto) shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is substantially in

79 the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower. If a portion of the Commitment has been assigned by an assigning Lender, then such Lender shall deliver its Revolving Credit Note, if any, at the same time it delivers the applicable Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent. If only Competitive Loans have been assigned by the assigning Lender, such Lender shall not be required to deliver its Competitive Note to the Administrative Agent, unless such Lender no longer holds a Commitment under this Agreement, in which event such assigning Lender shall deliver its Competitive Note, if any, at the same time it delivers the applicable Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent. Within five Business Days after receipt of the notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the applicable Lenders at their request, either (A) a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and a Competitive Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Total Commitment hereunder, and a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder, or (B) if Competitive Loans only have been assigned and the assigning Lender holds a Commitment under this Agreement, then a new Competitive Note to the order of the assignee Lender in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Competitive Loan(s) purchased by it pursuant to the Assignment and Acceptance, or (C) if Competitive Loans only have been assigned and the assigning Lender does not hold a Commitment under this Agreement, a new Competitive Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Competitive Loans(s) purchased by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, a new Competitive Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Competitive Loans retained by it hereunder. Any new Revolving Credit Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments of the respective Lenders. All new Notes shall be dated the date hereof and shall otherwise be in substantially the forms of Exhibits A-1 and A-2 hereto, as the case may be. (g) Each of the Lenders may without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) any such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such participant shall not be

80 granted any voting rights under this Agreement, except with respect to matters requiring the consent of each of the Lenders hereunder, (iii) any such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.17 hereof but a participant shall not be entitled to receive pursuant to such provisions an amount larger than its share of the amount to which the Lender granting such participation would have been entitled to receive, and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. (h) The Lenders may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.3, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree, by executing a confidentiality letter in form and substance equivalent to the confidentiality letter executed by the Lenders in connection with information received by such Lenders relating to this transaction to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received from such Lender. (i) Each Lender hereby represents that it is a commercial lender or financial institution which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make the Loans hereunder for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided, however, that, subject to preceding clauses (a) through (h), the disposition of the Notes or other evidence of Indebtedness held by that Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control. (j) The Borrower consents that any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge, or otherwise grant a security interest in, any Loan or any Note evidencing such Loan (or any part thereof), including any such pledge or grant to any Federal Reserve Bank, and, with respect to any Lender which is a fund, to the fund's trustee in support of its obligations to such trustee, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special

81 purpose funding vehicle (an "SPC"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Revolving Credit Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.6, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Revolving Credit Loan by any SPC and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Revolving Credit Loan or fund any other obligation required to be funded by it hereunder, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Revolving Credit Loan or fund such obligation pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Revolving Credit Loan by an SPC hereunder shall satisfy the obligation of the Granting Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the related Granting Lender makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.3 any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Revolving Credit Loan to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Revolving Credit Loans made by SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Revolving Credit Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. SECTION 9.4. Expenses; Documentary Taxes. Whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the Notes, the making of the Loans and issuance and administration of the Letters of Credit, including

82 but not limited to any internally allocated audit costs, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, counsel to the Administrative Agent, as well as all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lenders in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement, or the Notes or the Letters of Credit or in connection with the enforcement or protection of the rights of the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or the Notes or the Letters of Credit or any other Fundamental Document, and with respect to any action which may be instituted by any Person against any Lender or any Issuing Lender in respect of the foregoing, or as a result of any transaction, action or nonaction arising from the foregoing, including but not limited to the fees and disbursements of any counsel for the Lenders or any Issuing Lender. Such payments shall be made on the date of execution of this Agreement and thereafter on demand. The Borrower agrees that it shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders from, and hold them harmless against, any documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Notes or the issuance of any Letters of Credit or any other Fundamental Document. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the payment of the Loans and/or expiration of the Letters of Credit. SECTION 9.5. Indemnity. Further, by the execution hereof, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (regardless of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) in any way relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, but excluding therefrom all expenses, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such Indemnified Parties in connection with any one such action or any separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, nor shall the Borrower be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the Borrower's written consent, and provided further, however, that this Section 9.5 shall not be construed to expand the scope of the Borrower's reimbursement obligations specified in Section 9.4. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 9.5 shall survive the

83 termination of this Agreement and/or payment of the Loans and/or the expiration of the Letters of Credit. SECTION 9.6. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES HAVE BEEN EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE AND, IN THE CASE OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO INTEREST RATES, ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SECTION 9.7. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder or under the Notes or with regards to the Letters of Credit shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. SECTION 9.8. Extension of Maturity. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Article 8 hereof, should any payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amount due hereunder become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension. SECTION 9.9. Amendments, etc. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower herefrom or therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment shall without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (x) increase the Commitment of a Lender or postpone or waive any scheduled reduction in the Commitments, or (y) alter the stated maturity or principal amount of any installment of any Loan (or any

84 reimbursement obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit) or decrease the rate of interest payable thereon, or the rate at which the Facility Fees, Utilization Fees or letter of credit fees accrue or (z) waive a default under Section 7(b) hereof with respect to a scheduled principal installment of any Loan; and provided, further that no such modification or amendment shall without the written consent of all of the Lenders (i) amend or modify any provision of this Agreement which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders, or (ii) amend this Section 9.9 or the definition of Required Lenders; and provided, further that no such modification or amendment shall decrease the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender. No such amendment or modification may adversely affect the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender hereunder without its prior written consent. No notice to or demand on the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or consent authorized as provided herein, whether or not a Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment, modification, waiver or consent and any consent by any holder of a Note shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring a Note, whether or not a Note is so marked. SECTION 9.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
