Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our
actual results, performance or achievements 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. Forward-looking statements include
the information concerning our future financial performance, business strategy,
projected plans and objectives.
Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words
"believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "project", "estimates",
"plans", "may increase", "may fluctuate" and similar expressions or future or
conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would", "may" and "could" are
generally forward-looking in nature and not historical acts. You should
understand that the following important factors and assumptions could affect our
future results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in such forward-looking statements: the effect of economic conditions
and interest rate changes on the economy on a national, regional or
international basis and the impact thereof on our businesses; the effects of
changes in current interest rates, particularly on our real estate franchise and
mortgage businesses; the resolution or outcome of our unresolved pending
litigation relating to the previously announced accounting irregularities and
other related litigation; our ability to develop and implement operational and
financial systems to manage growing operations and to achieve enhanced earnings
or effect cost savings; competition in our existing and potential future lines
of business and the financial resources of, and products available to,
competitors; our ability to integrate and operate successfully acquired and
merged businesses and risks associated with such businesses, including the
acquisitions of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. and Fairfield Communities, Inc., the
compatibility of the operating systems of the combining companies, and the
degree to which our existing administrative and back-office functions and costs
and those of the acquired companies are complementary or redundant; our ability
to obtain financing on acceptable terms to finance our growth strategy and to
operate within the limitations imposed by financing arrangements and rating
agencies; competitive and pricing pressures in the vacation ownership and travel
industries, including the car rental industry; changes in the vehicle
manufacturer repurchase arrangements between vehicle manufacturers and Avis
Group in the event that used vehicle values decrease; and changes in laws and
regulations, including changes in accounting standards and privacy policy
regulation. 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. Most of these factors
are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control.
You should consider the areas of risk described above in connection with any
forward-looking statements that may be made by us. Except for our ongoing
obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws,
we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any
forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of
unanticipated events. For any forward-looking statements contained in any
document, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions, except per share amounts)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
include the accounts and transactions of Cendant Corporation and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Cendant").
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 period. 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, 2000.
In connection with the Company's previous announcement to complete a
tax-free spin-off of its individual membership business, the account
balances and activities of the individual membership business were
segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods
presented.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to
conform to the current period presentation.
Changes in Accounting Policies
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of the Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest
Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Interests in Securitized
Financial Assets." EITF Issue No. 99-20 modified the accounting for
interest income and impairment of beneficial interests in securitization
transactions, whereby beneficial interests determined to have an
other-than-temporary impairment are required to be written down to fair
value. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 99-20 resulted in the recognition of
a non-cash charge of $46 million ($27 million, after tax) during first
quarter 2001 to account for the cumulative effect of the accounting
change.
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which was amended by SFAS
No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended and interpreted, established
accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging
activities. As required by SFAS No. 133, the Company has recorded all such
derivatives at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at
January 1, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in the recognition
of a non-cash charge of $16 million ($11 million, after tax) in the
Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income on January 1, 2001 to account
for the cumulative effect of the accounting change relating to derivatives
designated in fair value type hedges prior to adopting SFAS No. 133, to
derivatives not designated as hedges and to certain embedded derivatives.
As provided for in SFAS No. 133, the Company also reclassified certain
financial investments as trading securities at January 1, 2001, which
resulted in a pre-tax benefit of $10 million recorded in other revenues
within the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income.
Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its overall strategy to
manage its exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in
interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, prices of mortgage loans
held for sale, anticipated mortgage loan closings arising from commitments
issued and changes in the fair value of its mortgage servicing rights. As
a matter of policy, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or
speculative purposes.
o All freestanding derivatives are recorded at fair value either
as assets or liabilities.
o Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging
instruments and of derivatives designated as fair value
hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings and
included in other revenues in the Consolidated Condensed
Statement of Income.
o Changes in fair value of the hedged item in a fair value hedge
are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the
hedged item and recognized currently in earnings.
o The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives
designated as cash flow hedging instruments is recorded as a
component of other comprehensive income. The ineffective
portion is reported currently in earnings.
o Amounts included in other comprehensive income are
reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the
hedged item affects earnings.
The Company is also party to certain contracts containing embedded
derivatives. As required by SFAS No. 133, certain embedded derivatives
were required to be bifurcated from their host contracts and are recorded
at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. The total fair
value of the Company's embedded derivatives and changes in fair value were
not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 140 on
December 31, 2000, as required. All other provisions of SFAS No. 140 will
be adopted after March 31, 2001, as required by the standard. The impact
of adopting the remaining provisions of this standard will not be material
to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
2. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share ("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. Income per common share from continuing operations
for each class of common stock was computed as follows:

(c) The weighted average exercise price for antidilutive options at March 31,
2001 was $24.21.
3. Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses
Acquisitions
Avis Group Holdings, Inc. On March 1, 2001, the Company acquired all of
the outstanding shares of Avis Group Holdings, Inc. ("Avis Group") that it
did not already own for $33.00 per share in cash, or approximately $994
million, including $40 million of transaction costs and expenses. The
acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting; accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were
recorded based upon their estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. The results of operations of Avis Group have been included in
the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income since the date of
acquisition.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the
underlying net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill which will be
amortized over 40 years on a straight-line basis. The allocation of the
excess purchase price is based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions
and is subject to revision when appraisals have been finalized.
Accordingly, revisions to the allocation, which may be significant, will
be recorded by the Company as further adjustments to the purchase price
allocation. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is summarized
as follows:
Amount
------
Cash consideration $ 937
Fair value of converted options 17
Transaction costs and expenses 40
------
Total purchase price 994
Book value of Cendant's existing net investment in Avis Group 406
------
Cendant's basis in Avis Group 1,400
Historical value of liabilities assumed in excess of assets acquired 207
Fair value adjustments 108
------
Unallocated excess purchase price over assets acquired and liabilities assumed $1,715
======
In connection with the acquisition, the Company continues to evaluate the
integration of the operations of Avis Group and believes that it may incur
transition costs relating to such integration. Transition costs may result
from integrating operating systems, relocating employees, closure of
facilities, reducing duplicative efforts and exiting and consolidating
certain other activities. These costs will be recorded on the Company's
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as adjustments to the purchase price
or on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income as
expenses.
Pro forma net revenues, income from continuing operations, net income and
the related per share data would have been as follows had the acquisition
of Avis Group occurred on January 1, for each of the periods presented:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
-------------------
2001 2000
------- -------
Net revenues $ 1,910 $ 1,835
Income from continuing operations 230 123
Net income 207 81
CD common stock income per share:
Basic
Income from continuing operations $ 0.26 $ 0.17
Net income 0.24 0.11
Diluted
Income from continuing operations $ 0.25 $ 0.16
Net income 0.22 0.11
The pro forma results do not give effect to any synergies expected to
result from the acquisition of Avis Group. The pro forma results are not
necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the
acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2001 and 2000, nor are they
necessarily indicative of future consolidated results.
Fairfield Communities, Inc. On April 2, 2001, the Company acquired all of
the outstanding shares of Fairfield Communities, Inc., one of the largest
vacation ownership companies in the United States, for approximately $750
million, including transaction costs and expenses and the conversion of
Fairfield employee stock options into CD common stock options.
Dispositions
On February 16, 2001, the Company completed the sale of its real estate
Internet portal, move.com, along with certain ancillary businesses to
Homestore.com, Inc. ("Homestore") in exchange for approximately 21 million
shares of Homestore common stock valued at $718 million. The operations of
these businesses were not material to the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. The Company recorded a gain of $548
million on the sale of these businesses, of which $436 million ($262
million, after tax) was recognized at the time of closing. The Company
deferred $112 million of the gain, which represents the portion that was
equivalent to its common equity ownership percentage in Homestore at the
time of closing. The deferred gain is included in deferred income within
the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at March 31, 2001 and is being
recognized into income over five years. The amortization of the deferred
gain is included as a component of equity in Homestore.com within the
Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income for the three months ended
March 31, 2001. The Company's investment in Homestore is included in other
assets within the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. The difference
between the value of this investment and the underlying equity in the net
assets of Homestore was $431 million, which is being amortized over five
years as a component of equity in Homestore.com within the Consolidated
Condensed Statement of Income. During first quarter 2001, such amount was
reduced by $30 million due to the contribution of approximately 2 million
shares of Homestore to Travel Portal, Inc. ("Travel Portal"), a company
that was created to pursue the development of an online travel business
for the benefit of certain current and future franchisees.
4. Discontinued Operations

Restructuring and Other Unusual Charges
During first quarter 2001, the Company incurred unusual charges totaling
$186 million. Such charges primarily consisted of (i) $95 million to fund
an irrevocable contribution to an independent technology trust responsible
for providing technology initiatives for the benefit of current and future
franchisees at Century 21, Coldwell Banker and ERA and (ii) $85 million
incurred in connection with the creation of Travel Portal.
Merger-related Costs
During first quarter 2001, the Company incurred charges of $8 million
related to the acquisition and integration of Avis Group.
Litigation Settlement and Related Costs
During first quarter 2001, the Company recorded a $25 million charge for
litigation settlement and related costs in connection with previously
discovered accounting irregularities in the former business units of CUC
International, Inc. and resulting investigations into such matters. Such
charge was partially offset by a non-cash credit of $14 million to reflect
an adjustment to the PRIDES class action litigation settlement charge
recorded in fourth quarter 1998 primarily for Rights that expired
unexercised.
6. Debt Issuances and Redemption
Debt Issuances
Senior Convertible Notes. During first quarter 2001, the Company issued
approximately $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount at maturity of zero
coupon senior convertible notes for aggregate gross proceeds of
approximately $900 million. The notes mature in 2021 and were issued at a
price representing a yield-to-maturity of 2.5%. The Company will not make
periodic payments of interest on the notes, but may be required to make
nominal cash payments in specified circumstances. Each $1,000 principal
amount at maturity may be convertible, subject to satisfaction of specific
contingencies, into 33.4 shares of CD common stock.
Term Loan. During first quarter 2001, the Company entered into a $650
million term loan agreement with terms similar to its other revolving
credit facilities. This term loan amortizes in three equal installments on
August 22, 2002, May 22, 2003 and February 22, 2004. Borrowings under this
facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 125 basis points.
Medium-Term Notes. During first quarter 2001, PHH Corporation ("PHH"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $650 million of medium-term
notes under an existing shelf registration statement. These notes bear
interest at a rate of 8 1/8% per annum and mature in February 2003. During
first quarter 2001, the Company's Avis car rental subsidiary issued $750
million of floating rate rental car asset backed notes. The notes are
secured by rental vehicles owned by such subsidiary. The notes bear
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 20 basis points per annum and mature in
April 2004.
Debt Redemption
During first quarter 2001, the Company made a principal payment of $250
million to extinguish outstanding borrowings under its then existing term
loan facility.
Credit Facilities
During first quarter 2001, PHH renewed its $750 million syndicated
revolving credit facility, which was due in 2001. The new facility bears
interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, as defined in the agreement,
and terminates on February 21, 2002. PHH is required to pay a per annum
utilization fee of .25% if usage under the facility exceeds 25% of
aggregate committments. Under the new facility, any loans outstanding as
of February 21, 2002 may be converted into a term loan with a final
maturity of February 21, 2003.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
In June 1999, the Company disposed of certain businesses. The dispositions
were 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. Notwithstanding the IRS interpretive
ruling, the Company believes that, based upon analysis of current tax law,
its position would prevail, if challenged.
The Company is involved in litigation asserting claims associated with the
accounting irregularities discovered in former CUC business units outside
of the principal common stockholder class action litigation. 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.
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.
8. Stockholders' Equity
Issuances of CD Common Stock
During first quarter 2001, the purchase contracts underlying the Company's
Feline PRIDES settled. Accordingly, the Company issued approximately 61
million shares of its CD common stock in satisfaction of its obligation to
deliver common stock to beneficial owners of the PRIDES.
During first quarter 2001, the Company also issued 46 million shares of
its CD common stock at $13.20 per share for aggregate proceeds of
approximately $607 million.

9. Derivatives
Consistent with its historical risk management policies, the Company
entered into foreign currency forwards during first quarter 2001 to manage
currency fluctuation risks during fiscal year 2001. The Company also
entered into interest rate swaps and instruments with option features to
hedge interest rate risks on certain car rental, fleet management and
mortgage-related asset and liability accounts, as well as the interest
expense associated with its $2.85 billion principal common stockholder
litigation settlement liability. Such instruments were also used by the
Company to create a desired mix of fixed and floating rate debt.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company uses forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates. These risks include non-functional
currency receivables, earnings of foreign entities and forecasted royalty
streams in non-functional currencies. The Company primarily hedges its
foreign currency exposure to the British pound, Canadian dollar and Euro.
The majority of the forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting
treatment under SFAS No. 133. The fluctuations in the value of these
foreign currency forwards do, however, effectively offset the impact of
changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to
hedge. Forward contracts that are used to hedge certain forecasted
transactions do qualify for hedge accounting treatment as cash flow
hedges. The impact of those foreign currency forwards is not material to
the Company's results of operations or financial position at March 31,
2001.
Interest Rate Risk
The debt used to finance much of the Company's operations, its car rental
business and its mortgage-related assets is subject to volatility due to
interest rate fluctuations. The Company uses various hedging strategies
and derivative financial instruments to create a desired mix of fixed and
floating rate debt and interest rate related assets. Derivative
instruments currently used in managing the Company's exposure to interest
rate fluctuations include swaps and instruments with option features. A
combination of fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and financial
instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS
No. 133 are used to manage the Company's portfolio of interest sensitive
assets and liabilities.
Fair value hedges are used to manage the Company's mortgage servicing
rights, mortgage loans held for sale and medium-term notes. During first
quarter 2001, the Company recorded a loss of $4 million to reflect the
ineffective portion of its fair value hedges. Such amount is included in
net revenues within the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income.
Cash flow hedges are used to manage the interest expense incurred on the
Company's floating rate debt and on a portion of its principal common
stockholder litigation settlement liability. No ineffectiveness resulted
from these cash flow hedging relationships during first quarter 2001.
Derivative gains and losses included in other comprehensive income are
reclassified into earnings when interest payments or other
liability-related accruals are made. During first quarter 2001, the amount
of gains or losses reclassified from other comprehensive income to
earnings was not material. Over the next 12 months, derivative losses of
approximately $8 million are expected to be reclassified into earnings.
Certain of the Company's forecasted cash flows are hedged up to three
years into the future.
10. Segment Information
In connection with the acquisition of Avis Group and the disposition of
certain businesses during first quarter 2001, the Company realigned the
operations and management of certain of its businesses. Accordingly, the
Company's segment reporting structure now encompasses the following four
reportable segments: Real Estate Services, Hospitality, Vehicle Services
and Financial Services. Segment information for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 has been restated to conform to the current reporting
structure.
A description of services provided within each of the Company's reportable
segments is as follows:
o Real Estate Services - consists of the Company's three real
estate brands and its mortgage and relocation businesses.
o Hospitality - consists of the Company's nine lodging brands
and its timeshare, travel agency and cottage rental
businesses.
o Vehicle Services - consists of the Company's car rental
franchise and operations business and its fleet management and
car park facility businesses.
o Financial Services - consists of the Company's
insurance-related and tax preparation services businesses.
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,
non-vehicle depreciation and amortization, minority interest and equity in
Homestore.com, 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.

11. Subsequent Event
During May 2001, the Company issued zero-coupon zero-yield convertible
senior notes to a qualified institutional buyer in a private offering for
gross proceeds of $1 billion. The notes mature in 2021. The Company may be
required to repurchase these notes on May 4, 2002. The Company is not
required to pay interest on the notes unless an interest adjustment
becomes payable, which may occur in specified circumstances commencing in
2004. Each $1,000 principal amount at maturity may be convertible, subject
to satisfaction of specific contingencies, into approximately 39 shares of
CD common stock.
----------
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with 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 - 2001 vs. 2000
On March 1, 2001, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Avis Group
Holdings, Inc. that we did not already own for $33.00 per share in cash, or
approximately $994 million, including $40 million of transaction costs and
expenses (referred to herein as "the Acquisition"). Avis Group is one of the
world's leading service and information providers for comprehensive automotive
transportation and vehicle management solutions. The consolidated results of
operations of Avis Group have been included in our consolidated results of
operations since the date of acquisition.
Strong contributions from many of our businesses and the addition of the
operations of Avis Group to our Vehicle Services segment contributed to revenue
growth of $358 million, or 38%. As a result of the Acquisition and certain
unusual charges, our expenses increased $525 million, or 71%. Such unusual
charges primarily consisted of (i) $95 million to fund an irrevocable
contribution to an independent technology trust responsible for providing
technology initiatives for the benefit of current and future franchisees at
Century 21, Coldwell Banker and ERA, (ii) $85 million incurred in connection
with the creation of Travel Portal, Inc., a company that was created to pursue
the development of an online travel business for the benefit of certain current
and future franchisees, (iii) $25 million of professional fees and settlement
costs incurred in connection with accounting irregularities in the former
business units of CUC International, Inc. and resulting investigations into such
matters and (iv) $8 million related to the acquisition and integration of Avis
Group. Such charges were partially offset by a non-recurring non-cash credit of
$14 million to reflect an adjustment to the PRIDES class action litigation
settlement charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 1998 primarily for Rights
that expired unexercised. Our non-vehicle interest expense increased $32 million
primarily as a result of interest expense accrued on our stockholder litigation
settlement liability, which was partially offset by interest income earned on
our deposits to an escrow fund established for the benefit of the plaintiffs in
such litigation.
Also during first quarter 2001, we sold our real estate Internet portal,
move.com, along with certain ancillary businesses to Homestore.com, Inc. in
exchange for approximately 21 million shares of Homestore common stock valued at
$718 million. We recorded a gain of $548 million on the sale of these
businesses, of which $436 million ($262 million, after tax) was recognized at
the time of closing. We deferred $112 million of the gain, which represents the
portion that was equivalent to our common equity ownership percentage in
Homestore at the time of closing.
Our overall effective tax rate for continuing operations was 40% in first
quarter 2001 and 34% in first quarter 2000. The higher tax rate in 2001 was
primarily due to higher state income taxes on the net gain on dispositions of
businesses discussed above.
As a result of the above-mentioned items, income from continuing operations
increased $143 million.
RESULTS OF REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
In connection with the Acquisition and the disposition of certain businesses
during first quarter 2001, we realigned the operations and management of certain
of our businesses. Accordingly, our segment reporting structure now encompasses
the following four reportable segments: Real Estate Services, Hospitality,
Vehicle Services and Financial Services. Segment information for March 31, 2000
has been restated to conform to the current reporting structure.
The underlying discussions of each segment's operating results focuses on
Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before non-operating interest,
income taxes, non-vehicle depreciation and amortization, minority interest and
equity in Homestore.com, 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.

(a) Excludes a charge of $86 million in connection with restructuring and other initiatives ($63
million, $11 million, $2 million and $10 million within Real Estate Services, Hospitality,
Financial Services and Corporate and Other, respectively).
(b) The decrease in the Adjusted EBITDA Margin is primarily due to the inclusion of the consolidated
results of operations of Avis Group in connection with the Acquisition. Prior to the Acquisition,
revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of this segment consisted principally of earnings from our equity
investment in Avis Group, royalties received from Avis Group and the operations of our National
Car Parks subsidiary.
(c) Included in Corporate and Other are the results of operations of our non-strategic businesses,
unallocated corporate overhead and the elimination of transactions between segments.

franchisees at Century 21, Coldwell Banker and ERA.
(e) Excludes a charge of $4 million related to the acquisition and integration of Avis Group and
includes $5 million of interest expense related to debt used in the Acquisition.
(f) Excludes (i) a net gain of $435 million related to the dispositions of businesses and (ii) a
non-cash credit of $14 million to reflect an adjustment to the PRIDES class action litigation
settlement charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 1998 primarily for Rights that expired
unexercised. Such amounts were partially offset by charges of (i) $85 million incurred in
connection with the creation of Travel Portal, Inc., a company that was created to pursue the
development of an online travel business for the benefit of certain current and future
franchisees, (ii) $25 million for investigation-related costs, (iii) $7 million related to a
non-cash contribution to the Cendant Charitable Foundation and (iv) $4 million related to the
acquisition and integration of Avis Group.
(g) Excludes $4 million of losses related to the dispositions of businesses.
(h) Excludes a non-cash credit of $41 million in connection with a change to the original estimate of
the number of Rights to be issued in connection with the PRIDES settlement resulting from
unclaimed and uncontested Rights. Such credit was partially offset by (i) $9 million of losses
related to the dispositions of businesses and (ii) $3 million of investigation-related costs.
Real Estate Services
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $50 million (17%) and $18 million (16%),
respectively. Our brands continue to hold leading market positions in
residential real estate brokerage and employee relocation services, and Cendant
Mortgage is now one of the largest retail mortgage lenders in the United States.
The increase in operating results was principally driven by a significant
increase in mortgage loan production, mortgage servicing portfolio growth and
increased service based fees generated from client relocations.
Revenues from mortgage loans sold increased $34 million (64%), driven by
significant increases in both purchase and refinancing volume during first
quarter 2001. Collectively, mortgage loans sold increased $2.2 billion (59%) to
$5.9 billion. Beginning in January 2001, Merrill Lynch has outsourced its
mortgage originations and servicing operations to us. On a pro forma basis,
inclusive of Merrill Lynch's loan volume, we would have ranked as the second
largest retail mortgage lender in 2000. Closed mortgage loans increased $3.7
billion (97%) to $7.6 billion. This growth consisted of a $2.5 billion
(approximately 700%) increase in refinancings and a $1.3 billion (36%) increase
in purchase mortgage closings. New Merrill Lynch business accounted for 13% of
our mortgage closings in first quarter 2001. A significant portion of mortgages
closed in any quarter will generate revenues in future periods as such loans are
packaged and sold (revenues are recognized upon the sale of the loan, typically
45-60 days after closing). Loan servicing revenues increased $8 million (34%)
due to a $29 billion (56%) increase in the average servicing portfolio. In
conjunction with Merrill Lynch outsourcing its mortgage origination operations
to us, we added $11.3 billion to the servicing portfolio in first quarter 2001.
Service based fees from relocation activities also contributed to the increase
in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Relocation referral fees increased $5 million
due to increased market penetration and higher average fees. During first
quarter 2001, we increased our global client base by 46 clients and increased
services to over 100 clients. Royalties from real estate franchising remained
relatively unchanged in first quarter 2001 despite soft industry-wide
conditions, particularly in California. A 3% reduction in home sales volume, was
offset by a 5% increase in the average price of homes sold, increased unit
growth from franchise sales and acquisitions by NRT Incorporated, our largest
franchisee.
Hospitality
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $22 million (9%) and $13 million (14%),
respectively. Timeshare subscription and exchange revenues grew $9 million
(10%), primarily due to a 10% increase in average members and a 8% increase in
the number of exchange transactions. In January 2001, we acquired Holiday
Cottages Group Limited, the leading UK brand in the holiday cottage rental
sector. Holiday Cottages generated $9 million of revenues and $4 million of
Adjusted EBITDA in first quarter 2001. The Adjusted EBITDA margin increased from
38% to 39% as increased timeshare call and exchange volume was achieved with
lesser increases in expenses due to the operating leverage we have within our
timeshare exchange operations.
Vehicle Services
Prior to the Acquisition, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of this segment consisted
principally of earnings from our equity investment in Avis Group, royalties
received from Avis Group and the operations of our National Car Parks
subsidiary. Subsequent to the Acquisition, the operations of Avis Group were
added to this segment. The operations of Avis Group are comprised of the car
rental business, which provides vehicle rentals to business and leisure
customers, and the fleet management business, which provides fully integrated
fleet management services to corporate customers including vehicle leasing,
advisory services, fuel and maintenance cards, other expense management programs
and productivity enhancement. Avis Group contributed revenue and Adjusted EBITDA
of $346 million and $35 million, respectively, for the one-month period ended
March 31, 2001. Adjusted EBITDA for Avis Group included $5 million of interest
expense on vehicle-related debt incurred to fund the Acquisition. Partially
offsetting the operating results of Avis Group was a $13 million income
reduction at National Car Parks, of which $9 million was due to reduced income
from financial investments.
Financial Services
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $9 million (5%) and $2 million (2%),
respectively. Jackson Hewitt, our tax preparation franchise business experienced
strong quarter over quarter growth in revenues of $10 million (20%) principally
due to a 20% increase in tax return volume. Reduced billings and collections of
insurance premiums at our FISI/BCI subsidiary partially offset the favorable
results of Jackson Hewitt
Individual Membership (Discontinued Operations)
Revenues were constant while Adjusted EBITDA decreased $6 million. Fewer
expirations of memberships during first quarter 2001 (revenue is generally
recognized upon expiration of the membership) were partially mitigated by a
favorable mix of products and programs with marketing partners. In addition, the
integration of Netmarket Group, an online membership business, during fourth
quarter 2000, contributed $16 million and $3 million to first quarter 2001
revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively.
Corporate and Other
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA growth were negatively impacted by $30 million less
income recognized from financial investments during first quarter 2001.

Mandatorily redeemable securities 375 2,058 (1,683)
Stockholders' equity 5,343 2,774 2,569
Total assets exclusive of assets under programs increased primarily due to cash
proceeds provided by financing activities during first quarter 2001, an increase
in goodwill resulting from the Acquisition and various other increases in assets
also due to the Acquisition. Assets under programs increased primarily due to
vehicles acquired in the Acquisition.
Total liabilities exclusive of liabilities under programs increased primarily
due to first quarter 2001 debt issuances aggregating $1.6 billion, approximately
$900 million of debt assumed as a result of the Acquisition and various other
increases in liabilities also due to the Acquisition. Liabilities under programs
increased primarily due to approximately $6.8 billion of debt assumed in the
Acquisition and first quarter 2001 debt issuances aggregating $1.4 billion.
Mandatorily redeemable securities decreased due to the settlement of the
purchase contracts underlying the Feline PRIDES during first quarter 2001, which
resulted in the issuance of approximately 61 million shares of CD common stock.
Stockholders' equity increased primarily due to the above-mentioned issuance of
approximately 61 million shares of CD common stock, the issuance during first
quarter 2001 of 46 million shares of CD common stock at $13.20 per share for
aggregate proceeds of approximately $607 million and first quarter 2001 net
income of $239 million.
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
and obligations.

------- ----- -------
Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ 1,132 $(213) $ 1,345
======= ===== =======
Cash flows from operating activities resulted in an inflow of $12 million in
first quarter 2001 compared to an outflow of $150 million in first quarter 2000,
primarily due to the impact of the Acquisition.
Cash flows used in investing activities increased primarily due to the
utilization of cash to fund the Acquisition and the funding of $250 million to
the stockholder litigation settlement trust during first quarter 2001.
Cash flows from financing activities resulted in an inflow of $2.6 billion in
first quarter 2001 compared to an outflow of $77 million in first quarter 2000,
primarily due to proceeds of $2.2 billion received from the issuances of debt
and CD common stock during first quarter 2001.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures during first quarter 2001 amounted to $60 million and were
utilized to support operational growth, enhance marketing opportunities and
develop operating efficiencies through technological improvements. We anticipate
a capital expenditure investment during 2001 ranging from $275 million to $325
million. Such amount represents an increase from 2000 primarily due to the
acquisitions of Avis Group and Fairfield Communities, Inc.
Debt Financing
Activities of our management and mortgage programs include the former fleet
management business and car rental operations of Avis Group, as well as our
mortgage and relocation businesses. Such activities are autonomous and distinct
from our other activities. Therefore, management believes it is more useful to
review the debt financing of management and mortgage programs separately from
the debt financing of our other activities
Exclusive of Management and Mortgage Programs
Our total long-term debt increased $2.2 billion to $4.2 billion at March 31,
2001. Such increase was primarily attributable to the assumption of Avis Group
debt of approximately $900 million and additional debt issuances of $1.6
billion. During first quarter 2001, we issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal
amount at maturity of zero-coupon convertible senior notes for aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $900 million and borrowed $650 million under a new
term loan agreement.
During May 2001, we issued zero-coupon zero-yield convertible senior notes to a
qualified institutional buyer in a private offering for gross proceeds of $1
billion. We expect to utilize the proceeds for general corporate purposes and to
reduce certain borrowings. The notes mature in 2021. We are not required to pay
interest on the notes unless an interest adjustment becomes payable, which may
occur in specified circumstances. Each $1,000 principal amount at maturity may
be convertible, subject to satisfaction of specific contingencies, into
approximately 39 shares of CD common stock.
Coincident with the acquisition of Avis Group, we assumed and guaranteed a $450
million six-year revolving credit facility maturing in June 2005. Borrowings
under the six-year credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of
approximately 175 basis points. We are required to pay a per annum facility fee
of 37.5 basis points. Also issued under this facility are letters of credit of
$130 million as of March 31, 2001. At March 31, 2001, we had approximately $20
million of availability under this facility and, in addition, we had
approximately $1 billion available under existing credit facilities.
Related to Management and Mortgage Programs
Activities of our management and mortgage programs are primarily supported by
the issuance of commercial paper and medium-term notes and by maintaining
secured obligations, depending upon asset growth and financial market
conditions.
Debt related to our management and mortgage programs increased $7.5 billion to
$9.6 billion at March 31, 2001. Such increase was primarily attributable to the
assumption of Avis Group debt principally comprising $3.7 billion of medium-term
notes, $1.6 billion of interest bearing notes and $957 million of commercial
paper and also additional medium-term notes issuances aggregating $1.4 billion
during first quarter 2001. Medium-term notes of $650 million were issued under
an existing shelf registration statement filed by our PHH subsidiary. We have
approximately $2.4 billion remaining available for issuing medium-term notes
under this shelf registration statement. The remaining $750 million consisted of
floating rate rental car asset backed notes which were issued through our Avis
car rental subsidiary.
Strategic Business Initiatives
On April 2, 2001, we consummated the acquisition of all of the outstanding
common stock of Fairfield, one of the largest vacation ownership companies in
the United States, for approximately $750 million, including transaction
costs and expenses and the conversion of Fairfield employee stock options into
CD common stock options. The acquisition was funded from available cash.
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 transactions previously
announced. As part of our 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 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.
Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
As previously discussed in our 2000 Annual Report 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 March 31, 2001 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.

Rye, New York 10580
Dear Mr. Edelman:
I am pleased to confirm that Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") is retaining you as
a consultant. The scope of your consulting engagement will relate primarily to
advising Cendant with respect to real estate transactions, including
transactions involving properties currently owned or leased by Avis Group
Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. You will report directly to Henry R.
Silverman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. You will not be asked to
perform more than twenty (20) hours in any calendar month.
In consideration for providing such consulting services, Cendant will pay you a
monthly consulting fee equal to $8,400 per month, payable on the last day of
each month. In addition, Cendant will reimburse you for all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by you in performing such consulting services. As you will not
be an employee of Cendant, but rather an independent contractor, you will not be
eligible to participate in any Cendant employee benefit or compensation plans
(except in connection with your service as a member of Cendant's Board of
Directors).
Cendant agrees to indemnify you and hold you harmless from all liability and
damages (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of or resulting from
your performance of such consulting services, other than liabilities and damages
arising out of or resulting from your willful misconduct, gross negligence or
actions or inactions which are outside the course and scope of your engagement
hereunder.
You agree to immediately notify Cendant should you determine that your
consulting engagement may result in any conflict of interest. Further, you
acknowledge that during the course of your engagement you will be given access
to Cendant's confidential and proprietary information, and that you agree to
protect and maintain the confidentiality of such information.
This agreement may be terminated by either you or Cendant upon not less than 60
days prior written notice from the party seeking to terminate the agreement to
the other party. This agreement supersedes all prior agreements or
understandings, written or oral, relating to the matters set forth herein.
I trust that the foregoing accurately reflects your understanding with respect
to the matters set forth herein. In order to evidence your agreement to such
provisions, I would
appreciate your signing a copy of this letter and returning it to me by fax at
212-413-1922. If you have any questions concerning anything set forth herein,
please feel free to call me at 212-413-1836.
On behalf of Mr. Silverman and Cendant's management team, we look forward to
working with you in the future.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Eric J. Bock

Exhibit 10.2
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement dated as of March 1, 2001, but subject to
and contingent upon the closing of the transactions (the "Transaction")
contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement"), dated as of November 11, 2000, by and among Cendant Corporation,
PHH Corporation, Avis Acquisition Corp. and Avis Group Holdings, Inc., is hereby
made by and between Cendant Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Cendant") and
Kevin M. Sheehan (the "Executive").
WHEREAS, Subject to the closing of the Transaction, Cendant desires
to employ the Executive as a full-time employee of Cendant and the Executive
desires to serve Cendant in such capacity.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
SECTION I
EMPLOYMENT
Subject to the closing of the Transaction, Cendant agrees to employ
the Executive and the Executive agrees to be employed by Cendant for the Period
of Employment as provided in Section III below and upon the terms and conditions
provided in this Agreement.
SECTION II
POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES
During the Period of Employment, the Executive will serve as a
full-time employee of Cendant and will report directly to, and serve at the
discretion of, the Chief Executive Officer of Cendant Corporation (the "CEO").
The Executive will, during the Period of Employment, serve Cendant in the
capacity of Chief Financial Officer. The Executive will, during the Period of
Employment, devote substantially all of his time and attention during normal
business hours to the performance of services for Cendant, or as otherwise
reasonably directed by the CEO from time to time. The Executive will maintain a
primary office and conduct his business in New York, New York, except for normal
and reasonable business travel in connection with his duties hereunder.
SECTION III
PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT
The period of the Executive's employment under this Agreement will
begin on the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and end on the
third anniversary of such date, subject to earlier termination as provided
herein (the "Period of Employment").
SECTION IV
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
A. Compensation.
For services rendered by the Executive pursuant to this Agreement during
the Period of Employment, Cendant will pay the Executive base salary for the
Period of Employment at an annual rate equal to five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000.00) (the "Base Salary"). The Executive will be eligible to receive
annual increases in Base Salary in accordance with Cendant's customary
procedures regarding the salaries of senior officers with due consideration
given to the published Consumer Price Index applicable to the New York/New
Jersey greater metropolitan area.
B. Annual Incentive Awards.
The Executive will be eligible for discretionary annual incentive
compensation awards; provided, that the Executive will be eligible to receive an
annual bonus for each fiscal year of Cendant during the Period of Employment
based upon a target bonus equal to 100% of Base Salary, subject to Cendant's
attainment of applicable performance targets established and certified by the
Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Committee"). The parties acknowledge
that it is currently contemplated that such performance targets will be stated
in terms of "earnings before interest, depreciation and taxes" of Cendant,
however such targets may relate to such other financial and business criteria of
Cendant or any of its subsidiaries or business units as determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion (each such annual bonus, an "Incentive
Compensation Award"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the Executive's
continuing employment with Cendant through the date of payment, and such other
terms and condition relating to such bonus program, the Executive's Incentive
Compensation Award in respect of fiscal year 2001 will be paid at no less than
100% of target (i.e., 100% of earned Base Salary).
2
C. Employee Benefits.
During the Period of Employment, Cendant will provide the Executive with
employee benefits generally offered to all eligible full-time employees of
Cendant, and with perquisites generally offered to all eligible senior officers
of Cendant (including without limitation the Cendant Corporation Deferred
Compensation Plan and any senior officer travel policies pertaining to first
class air travel and use of corporate-owned planes), subject to the terms of the
applicable employee benefit plans or policies of Cendant.
D. Expenses.
During the Period of Employment, Cendant will reimburse the Executive for
reasonable business expenses incurred and timely submitted in accordance with
any applicable policy of Cendant.
E. Stock Options.
Subject to the approval of the Committee, the Executive will be granted,
as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, options to purchase 1,050,000
shares of Cendant common stock (of the series designated CD Stock). Such options
will vest in three equal tranches on each of the first three anniversaries of
the date of grant, and will have a per share exercise price equal to the fair
market value of such common stock as of the date of grant. Such options will
have such other terms and conditions as the Committee determines in its sole
discretion.
F. Avis Obligation.
The Executive hereby represents and agrees that all financial and monetary
obligations owing to the Executive from Avis and its subsidiaries (including
without limitation any and all bonus and potential bonus entitlements under each
and every bonus, incentive, retention and similar compensation schemes sponsored
by Avis and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates, and under each and every
other actual or purported compensation entitlement pursuant to any agreement or
otherwise) have been paid to the Executive in full, and that the Executive has
no further financial claims against Avis or its subsidiaries (other than accrued
benefits under any tax qualified employee pension plan). The Executive
acknowledges that Cendant entered into this Agreement in reliance of the
accuracy of the foregoing representation.

SECTION V
DISABILITY
A. If the Executive becomes Disabled, as defined below, during the Period
of Employment, the Period of Employment may be terminated at the option of the
Executive upon notice of resignation to Cendant, or at the option of Cendant
upon notice of termination to the Executive. Cendant's obligation to make
payments to the Executive under this Agreement will cease as of such date of
termination, except for earned but unpaid Base Salary and any earned but unpaid
Incentive Compensation Awards. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disabled" means
the Executive's inability to perform his duties hereunder as a result of serious
physical or mental illness or injury for a period of no less than 90 days,
together with a determination by an independent medical authority that (i) the
Executive is currently unable to perform such duties and (ii) in all reasonable
likelihood such disability will continue for a period in excess of an additional
90 days. Such medical authority shall be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by
Cendant and the Executive and such opinion shall be binding on Cendant and the
Executive.
SECTION VI
DEATH
In the event of the death of the Executive during the Period of
Employment, the Period of Employment will end and Cendant's obligation to make
payments under this Agreement will cease as of the date of death, except for
earned but unpaid Base Salary and any earned but unpaid Incentive Compensation
Awards, and except for a pro rata Incentive Compensation Award for the year in
which the death occurs, which will be paid to the Executive's surviving spouse,
estate or personal representative, as applicable.
SECTION VII
EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
A. Without Cause Termination and Constructive Discharge. If the
Executive's employment is terminated during the Period of Employment by Cendant
due to a Without Cause Termination or by the Executive due to a Constructive
Discharge (each as defined below), Cendant will pay the Executive (or his
surviving spouse, estate or personal representative, as applicable) upon such
Without Cause Termination or Constructive Discharge (i) a lump sum amount equal
to the Executive's then current Base Salary plus then targeted Incentive
Compensation Award, multiplied by 300% and (ii) any and all Base Salary earned
but unpaid through the date of such termination. In addition, upon such event,
each option to purchase
4
shares of Cendant common stock granted to the Executive on or after the date
hereof shall, upon such event, become fully vested and exercisable and shall
remain exercisable until the first to occur of the second anniversary of such
termination of employment or the original expiration date of such option. Except
as provided in this paragraph, Cendant will have no further obligations to the
Executive hereunder.
B. Termination for Cause; Resignation. If the Executive's employment
terminates due to a Termination for Cause or a Resignation, Base Salary and any
Incentive Compensation Awards earned but unpaid as of the date of such
termination will be paid to the Executive in a lump sum. Except as provided in
this paragraph, Cendant will have no further obligations to the Executive
hereunder.
C. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the
following meanings:
i. "Termination for Cause" means (i) the Executive's willful failure to
substantially perform his duties as an employee of Cendant or any of its
subsidiaries (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to
physical or mental illness), (ii) any act of fraud, misappropriation,
dishonesty, embezzlement or similar conduct against Cendant or any of its
subsidiaries, (iii) the Executive's conviction of a felony or any crime
involving moral turpitude (which conviction, due to the passage of time or
otherwise, is not subject to further appeal) or (iv) the Executive's gross
negligence in the performance of his duties hereunder.
ii. "Constructive Discharge" means any material failure of Cendant to
fulfill its obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation any
reduction of the Base Salary, as the same may be increased during the Period of
Employment, or other material element of compensation). The Executive will
provide Cendant a written notice which describes the circumstances being relied
on for such termination with respect to this Agreement within thirty (30) days
after the event giving rise to the notice. Cendant will have thirty (30) days
after receipt of such notice to remedy the situation prior to the termination
for Constructive Discharge.
iii. "Without Cause Termination" or "Terminated Without Cause" means
termination of the Executive's employment by Cendant other than due to death,
Disability, or Termination for Cause.
iv. "Resignation" means a termination of the Executive's employment by the
Executive, other than in connection with a Constructive Discharge.
D. Conditions to Payment and Acceleration. All payments and benefits
due to the Executive under this Section VII shall be made as soon as
practi-
5
cable; provided, however, that such payments and benefits shall be subject to,
and contingent upon, the execution by the Executive (or his beneficiary or
estate) of a release of claims against Cendant and its affiliates in such form
determined by Cendant in its sole discretion. The payments due to the Executive
under this Section VII shall be in lieu of any other severance benefits
otherwise payable to the Executive under any severance plan of Cendant or its
affiliates.
SECTION VIII
OTHER DUTIES OF THE EXECUTIVE
DURING AND AFTER THE PERIOD OF EMPLOYMENT
A. The Executive will, with reasonable notice during or after the
Period of Employment, furnish information as may be in his possession and fully
cooperate with Cendant and its affiliates as may be reasonably requested in
connection with any claims or legal action in which Cendant or any of its
affiliates is or may become a party, and Cendant shall reimburse the Executive
for any expenses incurred by the Executive in connection therewith.
B. The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that all information
pertaining to this Agreement or to the affairs; business; results of operations;
accounting methods, practices and procedures; members; acquisition candidates;
financial condition; clients; customers or other relationships of Cendant or any
of its affiliates ("Information") is confidential and is a unique and valuable
asset of Cendant or any of its affiliates. Access to and knowledge of certain of
the Information is essential to the performance of the Executive's duties under
this Agreement. The Executive will not during the Period of Employment or
thereafter, except to the extent reasonably necessary in performance of his
duties under this Agreement, give to any person, firm, association, corporation,
or governmental agency any Information, except as may be required by law. The
Executive will not make use of the Information for his own purposes or for the
benefit of any person or organization other than Cendant or any of its
affiliates. The Executive will also use his best efforts to prevent the
disclosure of this Information by others. All records, memoranda, etc. relating
to the business of Cendant or its affiliates, whether made by the Executive or
otherwise coming into his possession, are confidential and will remain the
property of Cendant or its affiliates.
C. i. During the Period of Employment and for an eighteen (18) month
period thereafter (the "Restricted Period"), irrespective of the cause, manner
or time of any termination, the Executive will not use his status with Cendant
or any of its affiliates to obtain loans, goods or services from another
organization on terms that would not be available to him in the absence of his
relationship to Cendant or any of its affiliates.
6
ii. During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not make any
statements or perform any acts intended to or which may have the effect of
advancing the interest of any existing or prospective competitors of Cendant or
any of its affiliates or in any way injuring the interests of Cendant or any of
its affiliates. During the Restricted Period, the Executive, without prior
express written approval by the Board, will not engage in, or directly or
indirectly (whether for compensation or otherwise) own or hold proprietary
interest in, manage, operate, or control, or join or participate in the
ownership, management, operation or control of, or furnish any capital to or be
connected in any manner with, any party which competes in any way or manner with
the business of Cendant or any of its affiliates, as such business or businesses
may be conducted from time to time, either as a general or limited partner,
proprietor, common or preferred shareholder, officer, director, agent, employee,
consultant, trustee, affiliate, or otherwise. The Executive acknowledges that
Cendant's and its affiliates' businesses are conducted nationally and
internationally and agrees that the provisions in the foregoing sentence will
operate throughout the United States and the world.
iii. During the Restricted Period, the Executive, without express prior
written approval from the Board, will not solicit any members or the
then-current clients of Cendant or any of its affiliates for any existing
business of Cendant or any of its affiliates or discuss with any employee of
Cendant or any of its affiliates information or operation of any business
intended to compete with Cendant or any of its affiliates.
iv. During the Restricted Period, the Executive will not interfere with
the employees or affairs of Cendant or any of its affiliates or solicit or
induce any person who is an employee of Cendant or any of its affiliates to
terminate any relationship such person may have with Cendant or any of its
affiliates, nor will the Executive during such period directly or indirectly
engage, employ or compensate, or cause or permit any person with which the
Executive may be affiliated, to engage, employ or compensate, any employee of
Cendant or any of its affiliates. The Executive hereby represents and warrants
that the Executive has not entered into any agreement, understanding or
arrangement with any employee of Cendant or any of its affiliates pertaining to
any business in which the Executive has participated or plans to participate, or
to the employment, engagement or compensation of any such employee.
v. For the purposes of this Agreement, proprietary interest means legal or
equitable ownership, whether through stock holding or otherwise, of an equity
interest in a business, firm or entity or ownership of more than 5% of any class
of equity interest in a publicly-held company and the term "affiliate" means all
subsidiaries and licensees of the applicable entity.
7
D. The Executive hereby acknowledges that damages at law may be an
insufficient remedy to Cendant if the Executive violates the terms of this
Agreement and that Cendant will be entitled, upon making the requisite showing,
to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief in any court of competent
jurisdiction to restrain the breach of or otherwise to specifically enforce any
of the covenants contained in this Section VIII without the necessity of showing
any actual damage or that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy.
Such right to an injunction will be in addition to, and not in limitation of,
any other rights or remedies Cendant may have. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, neither party will oppose any motion the other party may make
for any expedited discovery or hearing in connection with any alleged breach of
this Section VIII.
E. The period of time during which the provisions of this Section
VIII will be in effect will be extended by the length of time during which the
Executive is in breach of the terms hereof as determined by any court of
competent jurisdiction on Cendant's application for injunctive relief.
F. The Executive agrees that the restrictions contained in this
Section VIII are an essential element of the compensation the Executive is
granted hereunder and but for the Executive's agreement to comply with such
restrictions, Cendant would not have entered into this Agreement.
SECTION IX
WITHHOLDING TAXES
The Executive acknowledges and agrees that Cendant may directly or
indirectly withhold from any payments under this Agreement all federal, state,
city or other taxes that will be required pursuant to any law or governmental
regulation.
SECTION X
EFFECT OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS
This Agreement will supersede and replace each prior employment or
consultant agreement between Cendant (and/or its affiliates) and the Executive,
and any such agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further force or
effect.
SECTION XI
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS
Nothing in this Agreement will preclude Cendant from consolidating
or merging into or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets
to, another corporation which assumes this Agreement and all obligations and
undertakings of
8
Cendant hereunder. Upon such a consolidation, merger or sale of assets the term
"Cendant" will mean the other corporation and this Agreement will continue in
full force and effect.
SECTION XII
MODIFICATION
This Agreement may not be modified or amended except in writing
signed by the parties. No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to
have been waived except in writing by the party charged with waiver. A waiver
will operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and will not
constitute a waiver for the future or act on anything other than that which is
specifically waived.
SECTION XIII
REPRESENTATIONS
Cendant represents and warrants that this Agreement has been

this Agreement or the breach hereof which cannot be settled by mutual agreement
(other than with respect to the matters covered by Section VIII for which

may, but will not be required to, seek injunctive relief) will be finally
settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act
(or if not applicable, the applicable state arbitration law) as follows: Any
party who is aggrieved will deliver a notice to the other party setting forth
the specific points in dispute. Any points remaining in dispute twenty (20) days
after the giving of such notice may be submitted to arbitration in New York, New
York, to the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator
appointed in accordance with the arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
Association, modified only as herein expressly provided. After the aforesaid
twenty (20) days, either party, upon ten (10) days notice to the other, may so
submit the points in dispute to arbitration. The arbitrator may enter a default
decision against any party who fails to participate in the arbitration
proceedings.
B. The decision of the arbitrator on the points in dispute will be
final, unappealable and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.
C. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the arbitrator
will be authorized to apportion its fees and expenses and the reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses of any such party as the arbitrator deems
appropriate. In the absence of any such apportionment, the fees and expenses of
the arbitrator will be borne equally by each party, and each party will bear the
fees and expenses of its own attorney.
D. The parties agree that this Section XVI has been included to
rapidly and inexpensively resolve any disputes between them with respect to this
Agreement, and that this Section XVI will be grounds for dismissal of any court
action commenced by either party with respect to this Agreement, other than
post-arbitration actions seeking to enforce an arbitration award. In the event
that any court determines that this arbitration procedure is not binding, or
otherwise allows any litigation regarding a dispute, claim, or controversy
covered by this Agreement to proceed, the parties hereto hereby waive any and
all right to a trial by jury in or with respect to such litigation.
E. The parties will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any
person, except as may be required by law, the existence of any controversy
hereunder, the referral of any such controversy to arbitration or the status or
resolution thereof.

SEPARABILITY
All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. In
the event any provision or restriction contained herein is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, in whole or in part, such finding will in no way
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
The parties hereto further agree that any such invalid or unenforceable
provision will be deemed modified so that it will be enforced to the greatest
extent permissible under law, and to the extent that any court of competent
jurisdiction determines any restriction herein to be unreasonable in any
respect, such court may limit this Agreement to render it reasonable in the
light of the circumstances in which it was entered into and specifically enforce
this Agreement as limited.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as
of the date first above written.
