Forward-looking statements in our public filings or other public statements 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", "projects", "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 facts. 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:
1
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 and our businesses generally. 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 unless required by law. 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.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Cendant Corporation
New York, New York
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of Cendant Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2003, the related consolidated condensed statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated condensed financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 5, 2003 (March 3, 2003 as to the subsequent events described in Note 31), we expressed an unqualified opinion (and included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the adoption of the non-amortization provisions for goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets, the modification of the accounting treatment relating to securitization transactions and the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and the revision of certain revenue recognition policies, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements) on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Substantially all of the mortgage loans within this servicing portfolio were sold by the Company without recourse. However, approximately $2.7 billion (approximately 2%) of loans within this servicing portfolio as of June 30, 2003 were sold with recourse. The majority of such loans were sold under a program where the Company retains the credit risk for a limited period of time and only for a specific default event. For these loans, the Company accrues a provision (equal to the fair value of the recourse obligation) for expected losses. As of June 30, 2003, the provision approximated $4 million and was recorded as a component of accounts payable and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. There was no significant activity during 2003 that would cause the Company to utilize any of this provision. The Company believes that this provision is adequate to cover expected losses and that such losses would not be material to its results of operations.

As of June 30, 2003, the Company expects MSR amortization expense for the remainder of 2003 and the five succeeding fiscal years to approximate $175 million, $350 million, $255 million, $220 million, $190 million and $160 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2003, the MSR portfolio had a weighted average life of approximately 4.2 years.
The Company uses derivatives to mitigate the impact that accelerated prepayments have on the fair value of its MSR asset. Such derivatives, which are primarily designated as fair value hedging instruments, tend to increase in value as interest rates decline and conversely decline in value as interest rates increase. The activity in the Company's derivatives related to mortgage servicing rights asset consisted of:

June 30, 2003, the Company had approximately $1.8 billion of availability under this facility (including $630 million of availability to issue additional letters of credit, which
reflects an increase of $500 million in the Company's capacity to issue letters of credit under this facility).

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 and with our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 5, 2003. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions.
We are one of the foremost providers of travel and real estate services in the world. Our businesses provide a wide range of consumer and business services and are intended to complement one another and create cross-marketing opportunities both within and among our following five business segments. Our Real Estate Services segment franchises our three residential and one commercial real estate brands, provides real estate brokerage services, provides home buyers with mortgages, title, appraisal review and closing services and facilitates employee relocations; our Hospitality segment develops, markets, sells and manages vacation ownership interests, provides consumer financing to individuals purchasing these interests, facilitates the exchange of vacation ownership intervals, franchises our nine lodging brands and markets vacation rental properties in Europe; our Travel Distribution segment provides global distribution and computer reservation and travel agency services; our Vehicle Services segment operates and franchises our Avis and Budget vehicle rental brands and provides fleet management and fuel card services; our Financial Services segment provides financial institution enhancement products, insurance-based and loyalty solutions, operates and franchises tax preparation offices and provides a variety of membership programs through an outsourcing arrangement with Trilegiant Corporation.
We are focused on building long-term value through operational excellence and growing our businesses organically. Historically, a significant portion of our growth has been generated through the strategic acquisitions of businesses that have strengthened our position in the travel and real estate services industries and helped us to develop a hedged and diversified portfolio of businesses. Now that we have assembled our vertically integrated portfolio of businesses, we have sharply curtailed the pace of acquisitions and our operating management has emphasized organic growth and the generation of cash flow as principal objectives. Throughout 2003, our spending on new acquisitions has been inconsequential, aggregating only $44 million in cash. We remain highly disciplined in our acquisition activity and may augment organic growth through the select acquisition of (or possible joint venture with) complementary businesses primarily in our real estate brokerage operations. The purchase price of any such acquisitions is expected to be funded with cash generated by our core operations in 2003. Currently, we expect to use approximately $100 million for such acquisitions.
With the curtailment of acquisitions, we are steadfast in our commitment to deploy our cash to strengthen our liquidity position and increase shareholder value. To this end, we completed the first phase of our corporate debt reduction program during first quarter 2003, which was to replace current maturities of corporate indebtedness with longer-term debt, and we are well into the second phase of the program where, by the end of 2004, we intend to reduce outstanding corporate indebtedness by $2 billion. Our plan is to capitalize upon the opportunity to use call provisions and maturities wherever possible rather than paying a significant premium to repurchase our debt in the open market. In addition to replacing our near-term obligations, the redemption/retirement of our convertible debt instruments has, to date, eliminated 83 million shares of potential dilution to our future earnings per share. Further, through July 2003, we have repurchased 37.3 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $14.88 and beginning in 2004, we intend to return additional value to our shareholders through the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of 7 cents per share (28 cents per share annually), subject to final approval by our Board of Directors. We expect to increase this dividend over time as our earnings and cash flow grow.
In addition, we routinely review and evaluate our portfolio of existing businesses to determine if they continue to meet our growth objectives and, from time to time, engage in discussions concerning possible divestitures, joint ventures and related corporate transactions to redirect our portfolio of businesses to achieve company-wide objectives.
Finally, during the first half of 2003, we made significant progress toward our goal of simplifying our corporate structure as demonstrated by the acquisition of two affiliated but previously unconsolidated businesses, FFD Development Company LLC and Trip Network, Inc. We believe that our consolidation of Trilegiant Corporation (following which we will have consolidated all of our off-balance-sheet operating affiliates) and Bishop's Gate Residential Mortgage Trust in the third quarter of 2003 will further enhance the transparency of our financial results. Additionally, we requested that the boards of directors of the qualified special purpose entities we use to securitize our timeshare receivables amend these structures to enable us to begin consolidating these entities.
In summary, we continue to pay close attention to the profitability and growth of our businesses, the generation and deployment of cash flow and the building of long-term shareholder value.

In addition to the contributions made by acquired businesses, the diversity of our portfolio of businesses allowed us to mitigate the effects of a challenging economic and geo-political environment, particularly for our travel-related businesses. Weak comparisons in our travel-related businesses were more than offset by organic growth in our real estate services businesses, particularly in our mortgage business where revenues increased 55% quarter-over-quarter. The growth in our mortgage business also contributed to the increase in total expenses to support the continued high level of mortgage loan production and related servicing activities. Partially offsetting the increase in total expenses incurred by our mortgage business was (i) a decrease of $195 million in acquisition and integration related costs primarily due to the amortization in 2002 of the pendings and listings intangible asset acquired as part of the acquisition of NRT, which was amortized over the closing period of the underlying contracts (less than five months), and (ii) a decrease of $32 million in losses incurred on the early extinguishments of debt. Our overall effective tax rate decreased to 33% for second quarter 2003 from 35% for the comparable period in 2002. The effective tax rate was lower primarily due to a decrease in taxes on our foreign operations, which was partially offset by higher state taxes and an increase in non-deductible items. As a result of the above-mentioned items, income from continuing operations increased $143 million (60%).

Discussed below are the results of operations for each of our reportable segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon revenue and "EBITDA," which is defined as income from continuing operations before non-program related depreciation and amortization, non-program related interest, amortization of pendings and listings, income taxes and minority interest. On January 1, 2003, we changed our performance measure used to evaluate the operating results of our reportable segments and, as such, the information presented below for second quarter 2002 has been revised to reflect this change. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Revenues and EBITDA increased $335 million (23%) and $39 million (12%), respectively, in second quarter 2003 compared with 2002.
Revenues and EBITDA were greatly impacted by increased production volume at our mortgage business and the April 17, 2002 acquisition of NRT and subsequent acquisitions by NRT of other real estate brokerages (the operating results of which have been included from their acquisition dates forward). NRT (inclusive of the title and closing business) and NRT's significant brokerage acquisitions, subsequent to our ownership, contributed an incremental $166 million of revenues and an EBITDA decline of $7 million from April 1, 2003 through April 16, 2003. This EBITDA decline is reflective of the seasonality of the real estate brokerage business, whereby the operating results are typically weakest in the early part of the calendar year and progressively strengthen during the second and third quarters. Excluding the incremental impact of the NRT acquisition and NRT's significant acquisitions of real estate brokerages subsequent to our acquisition of NRT, net brokerage commission revenues increased $6 million in 2003. Prior to our acquisition of NRT, we received royalty and marketing fees from NRT of $13 million and real estate referral fees of $2 million during second quarter 2002. We also had a preferred stock investment in NRT, prior to our acquisition, which generated dividend income of $2 million during second quarter 2002. Upon the acquisition of NRT, we merged our pre-existing title and appraisal businesses with and into the larger-scale title and closing business of NRT and made certain accounting reclassifications within our pre-existing businesses to conform to NRT's accounting presentation. Such reclassification changes resulted in an increase in revenues of $25 million with no impact on EBITDA in second quarter 2003. Excluding such reclassification, our settlement services business generated incremental revenues of $30 million compared with second quarter 2002. Title, appraisal and other closing fees all increased due to higher volumes, consistent with the growth in the mortgage origination markets, and cross-selling initiatives.
On a comparable basis, including post-acquisition intercompany royalties paid by NRT to our real estate franchise business, our real estate franchise brands generated incremental royalties and marketing fund revenues of $8 million in second quarter 2003, an increase of 5% over second quarter 2002 primarily due to a 6% increase in the average price of homes sold. Royalty increases in the real estate franchise business are recognized with little or no corresponding increase in expenses due to the significant operating leverage within our franchise operations.
27
Revenues from mortgage-related activities grew $95 million (55%) in second quarter 2003 compared with second quarter 2002 due to a significant increase in mortgage loan production as low interest rates have prompted record levels of mortgage refinancing activity. Revenues from mortgage loan production increased $166 million (89%) in second quarter 2003 compared with the prior year quarter and was derived from growth in our fee-based mortgage origination operations (discussed below) and an increase in the volume of loans that we packaged and sold, which more than doubled quarter-over-quarter. We sold $16.3 billion of mortgage loans in second quarter 2003 compared with $8.1 billion in second quarter 2002, generating incremental production revenues of $118 million. In addition, production revenues generated from our fee-based mortgage-origination activity increased $48 million (89%) as compared with second quarter 2002. Production fee income on fee-based loans is generated at the time of closing, whereas originated mortgage loans held for sale generate revenues at the time of sale (typically 30-60 days after closing). Accordingly, our production revenue in second quarter 2003 was driven by a mix of mortgage loans closed and mortgage loans sold. Total mortgage loans closed increased $10.9 billion (87%) to $23.3 billion in second quarter 2003, comprised of a $9.3 billion (121%) increase in closed loans to be securitized (sold by us) and a $1.6 billion (33%) increase in closed loans that were fee-based. The increase in loan origination volume was principally driven by continued substantial refinancing activity during second quarter 2003. Refinancings increased $9.7 billion (226%) to $14.0 billion and purchase mortgage closings grew $1.2 billion (14%) to $9.3 billion.
Net revenues from servicing mortgages loans declined $71 million, although recurring servicing fees (fees received for servicing existing loans in the portfolio) increased $7 million (7%) driven by a 16% quarter-over-quarter increase in the size of our average servicing portfolio to $119.8 billion. Net servicing revenues included an increase of $143 million in mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") amortization and provision for impairment (both of which are recorded against revenue) due to the high levels of refinancings and related loan prepayments, resulting from the lower interest rate environment. However, this was partially offset by $72 million of incremental gains from hedging and other derivative activities to protect against changes in the fair value of MSRs due to fluctuations in interest rates. Excluding the impact from the acquisition of NRT and its subsequent acquisitions, operating and administrative expenses within this segment increased approximately $100 million, primarily due to the direct costs incurred in connection with continued high level of mortgage loan production and related servicing activities.
Hospitality
Revenues increased $70 million (12%), while EBITDA declined $23 million (13%) in second quarter 2003 compared with second quarter 2002. We completed the acquisitions of Trendwest, a
leading vacation ownership company, in June 2002 (90% was acquired in April 2002), and certain European vacation rental companies during 2002 (the operating results of which have been
included from their acquisition dates forward). Accordingly, Trendwest and the other acquired vacation rental companies contributed incremental revenues of $40 million and $12 million,
respectively, and EBITDA of $4 million and $1 million, respectively, in second quarter 2003 compared with second quarter 2002. Excluding the impact from these acquisitions, revenues
increased $18 million (3%), while EBITDA declined $28 million (16%) quarter-over-quarter. Sales of vacation ownership interests in our developed timeshare units
contributed incremental revenues of $20 million in second quarter 2003, a 12% increase over second quarter 2002, primarily as a result of increased tour flow and higher revenue per tour at our
Fairfield subsidiary resort sites. Financial income from the funding we provided to the purchasers of our timeshare units decreased $8 million principally due to an 11% reduction in the
securitization of such receivables. Timeshare subscription and exchange fee revenues within our timeshare exchange business increased $8 million (7%) primarily due to a 14% increase in the
average fee per exchange, which was partially offset by a 5% reduction in the volume of exchange transactions, which we believe was driven by apprehension over the military conflict in Iraq.
Royalties and marketing and reservation fund revenues within our lodging franchise operations declined $6 million (6%) in second quarter 2003 due to a 5% decline in the number of weighted average rooms available following our decision to remove from our franchise system certain properties that were not meeting required standards. Revenue per available room remained relatively unchanged quarter-over-quarter. Our lodging franchise business and our franchisees were unfavorably impacted in second quarter 2003 by the military conflict in Iraq, which compounded an already weak travel environment. As a result, during second quarter 2003, we recorded an incremental $5 million non-cash expense related to the doubtful collectibility of certain franchise receivables. Excluding acquisitions, operating and administrative expenses within this segment increased approximately $40 million in second quarter 2003 principally due to increased timeshare sales-related expenses, including variable expense increases on higher sales volumes and an increased investment in guest generation spending to enhance tour flows. In addition, expense increases represent volume-related growth in our timeshare exchange business in prior quarters and our maintenance of current service levels.
28
Travel Distribution
Revenues and EBITDA declined $12 million (3%) and $26 million (20%), respectively, in second quarter 2003 compared with second quarter 2002. Galileo air travel booking fees decreased
$30 million (9%) due to a 10% decline in worldwide air booking volumes. Like other industry participants, we experienced a decline in travel demand affecting volumes and revenues across the
majority of our travel distribution businesses due to a number of factors, including military conflict in Iraq, continuing economic pressures, terrorist threat alerts, and health concerns in the
Asia/Pacific region and other parts of the world (SARS). However, as apprehension regarding the military conflict in Iraq and the risk posed by SARS subsided, air travel booking volumes have begun to
rebound during second quarter with quarter-over-quarter booking volumes having progressively improved in each respective month during second quarter 2003. To mitigate the
impact of the industry decline, we initiated aggressive global cost containment efforts within this business segment. Galileo subscriber fees and EBITDA during second quarter 2003 increased
$14 million and $4 million, respectively, due to the acquisition of national distribution companies (NDCs) in Europe during 2002. NDCs are independent organizations that market and sell
Galileo global distribution and computer reservation services to travel agents and other subscribers.
Trip Network, which we acquired in April 2003 and which operates Cheap Tickets, contributed $10 million in revenues and an EBITDA loss of $11 million in second quarter 2003 due to factors contributing to reductions in travel demand, as noted above. In addition, during the summer of 2002, we acquired two other companies that supply reservation and distribution services to the hospitality industry. The operating results of such companies were included from their acquisition dates forward and collectively contributed revenue of $11 million with a nominal EBITDA impact during second quarter 2003. Additionally, revenues from our travel agency business declined $6 million due to a general industry decline in travel demand as discussed above, reductions in commission rates paid by airlines, the lack of reduced-rate air inventory availability and a decline in travel-related clubs which are serviced by us. However, the impact on EBITDA of lower travel agency revenues was offset by variable expense savings on lower revenues and expense reductions due to cost containment initiatives relating to our travel agency business implemented in 2002 and 2003.
Vehicle Services
Revenues and EBITDA increased $433 million (42%) and $9 million (7%), respectively, in second quarter 2003 compared with the prior year quarter. In November 2002, we acquired
substantially all of the domestic assets of the vehicle rental business of Budget, as well as selected international operations. Budget's operating results, including integration costs, were included
from the acquisition date forward and contributed revenues and EBITDA of $458 million and $13 million, respectively, in second quarter 2003. Excluding Budget's second quarter 2003
results, revenue and EBITDA declined $25 million (2%) and $4 million (3%), respectively, in second quarter 2003, which is primarily attributable to reduced car rental demand offset by
increased pricing at Avis. Avis domestic car rental revenues declined $41 million (7%) in second quarter 2003 compared with second quarter 2002. The net reduction in domestic car rental
revenues at Avis was primarily due to a 10% quarter-over-quarter reduction in domestic car rental days, which was partially offset by a 1% increase in time and mileage revenue
per domestic rental day, reflecting an increase in pricing that substantially flows to EBITDA. In addition, EBITDA, quarter-over-quarter, includes favorable interest costs of
$8 million on the financing of vehicles due to lower interest rates, which were offset by incremental vehicle-related net expenses and customer service costs. The increase in vehicle-related
net expenses includes incremental maintenance and damage costs due to a reduction in warranty-related services provided to car manufacturers, a decline in gas reimbursements from Avis car rental
customers and higher vehicle license and registration costs. Despite reduced Avis revenue domestically, revenues from Avis' international operations increased $10 million due to increased
transaction volume and the favorable impact to revenues of exchange rates, principally in Australia, which was principally offset in EBITDA by the unfavorable impact on expenses. Avis' and Budget's
revenues are primarily derived from car rentals at airport locations. Wright
Express, our fuel card business, recognized incremental revenues of $6 million (20%) in second quarter 2003 compared with the prior year second quarter. This was primarily due to growth in fuel
cards, card usage and higher gasoline prices whereby Wright Express earns a percentage of the total gas purchased by its clients.
Financial Services
Revenues and EBITDA decreased $36 million (12%) and $13 million (15%), respectively, in second quarter 2003 compared with the prior year quarter. Revenue and EBITDA reflect a continued
attrition of the membership base retained by us in connection with the outsourcing of our individual membership business to Trilegiant; however, the impact on EBITDA was mitigated by a net reduction
in expenses from servicing fewer members. A smaller membership base resulted in a net revenue reduction of $51 million (net of $4 million of royalty income from Trilegiant), which was
partially offset in EBITDA by favorable membership operating expenses of $35 million. See the section entitled "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesAffiliated Entities" for a discussion
concerning our consolidation of Trilegiant on July 1, 2003 pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable
29
Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). Partially offsetting the impact from the attrition of the membership business was the increased operating results of our Jackson Hewitt tax preparation franchise and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the revenues of our international membership business. Jackson Hewitt generated incremental revenues of $7 million in second quarter 2003, which was primarily driven by franchise royalty growth and by the timing of certain financial product program revenues as such revenues were earned in the second quarter of 2003 when in 2002 those revenues were earned in the third quarter. Franchise royalties grew at Jackson Hewitt as a result of a 9% increase in the total tax return volume and an 18% increase in average price per return. EBITDA, in second quarter 2003, was also impacted by an $8 million expense incurred in connection with a litigation settlement.
Corporate and Other
Revenues and EBITDA increased $6 million and $37 million, respectively in second quarter 2003 compared with second quarter 2002. EBITDA reflects a greater absorption of overhead expenses
by our reportable operating segments during second quarter 2003 compared with second quarter 2002, principally due to expense allocations in second quarter 2003 to companies that were acquired during
2002 and did not receive overhead allocations in the second quarter of last year. Also contributing to favorable EBITDA quarter-over-quarter was the absence of costs incurred
in second quarter 2002 associated with the December 2001 outsourcing of substantially all of our domestic data center operations and other information technology functions.

In addition to the contributions made by acquired businesses, the diversity of our portfolio of businesses allowed us to mitigate the effects of a challenging economic and political environment, particularly for our travel-related businesses. Weak comparisons in our travel-related businesses were more than offset by organic growth in our real estate services businesses, especially in our mortgage business where revenues increased 69% period-over-period. The growth in our mortgage business also contributed to the increase in total expenses in order to support the continued high level of mortgage loan production and related servicing activities. Partially offsetting the increase in total expenses incurred by our mortgage business was a decrease of $185 million in acquistion and integration related costs primarily due to the amortization in 2002 of the pendings and listings intangible asset acquired as part of the acquistion of NRT, which was amortized over the closing period of the underlying contracts (less than five months). Our overall effective tax rate decreased to 33% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from 34% for the comparable period in 2002. The effective tax rate was lower primarily due to a decrease in taxes on our foreign operations, which was partially offset by higher state taxes and an increase in non-deductible items. As a result of the above-mentioned items, income from continuing operations increased $137 million (25%).

Revenues and EBITDA increased $1,276 million (69%) and $82 million (16%), respectively, in six months 2003 compared with six months 2002.
Revenues and EBITDA were primarily impacted by increased production volume at our mortgage business and by the April 17, 2002 acquisition of NRT and subsequent acquisitions by NRT of other real estate brokerages (the operating results of which have been included from the acquisition dates forward). NRT (inclusive of its title and closing business) and NRT's significant brokerage acquisitions subsequent to our ownership contributed an incremental $954 million of revenues and an EBITDA decline of $25 million from January 1, 2003 through April 16, 2003. This EBITDA decline is reflective of the seasonality of the real estate brokerage business, whereby the operating results are typically weakest in the early part of the calendar year and progressively strengthen during the second and third quarters. Excluding the incremental impact of the NRT acquisition and NRT's significant acquisitions of real estate brokerages subsequent to our acquisition, net brokerage commission revenues increased $6 million in 2003. Prior to our acquisition of NRT, during six months 2002, we received royalty and marketing fees from NRT of $66 million, real estate referral fees of $9 million, and a $16 million fee in connection with the termination of a franchise agreement under which NRT operated our ERA real estate brand. We also had a preferred stock investment in NRT, prior to our acquisition, which generated dividend income of $10 million during six months 2002. In addition, revenues in six months 2003 benefited by $72 million from certain accounting reclassifications made in 2003 (with no impact on EBITDA), primarily in connection with the merger of our pre-existing title and appraisal businesses with and into the larger-scale title and closing business of NRT. Upon the combining of such businesses, we changed certain accounting presentations used by our pre-existing businesses to conform to the presentations used by NRT. Excluding such reclassifications, our settlement services business generated incremental revenues of $36 million compared with six months 2002. Title, appraisal and other closing fees all increased due to higher volumes, consistent with the growth in the mortgage origination markets, and cross-selling initiatives.
On a comparable basis, including post-acquisition intercompany royalties paid by NRT to our real estate franchise business, our real estate franchise brands generated incremental royalties and marketing fund revenues of $21 million in six months 2003, an increase of 7% over six months 2002 due to a 7% increase in the average price of homes sold and a 2% increase in volume of home sales transactions. Royalty increases in the real estate franchise business are recognized with little or no corresponding increase in expenses due to the significant operating leverage within our franchise operations.
31
Revenues from mortgage-related activities grew $219 million (69%) in six months 2003 compared with six months 2002 due to a significant increase in mortgage loan production as low interest rates have prompted record levels of mortgage refinancing activity. Revenues from mortgage loan production increased $276 million (75%) in six months 2003 compared with the prior year quarter and was derived from growth in our fee-based mortgage origination operations (discussed below) and a 74% increase in the volume of loans that we packaged and sold. We sold $29.0 billion of mortgage loans in six months 2003 compared with $16.7 billion in six months 2002, generating incremental production revenues of $197 million. In addition, production revenues generated from our fee-based mortgage-origination activity increased $79 million (79%) as compared with six months 2002. Production fee income on fee-based loans is generated at the time of closing, whereas originated mortgage loans held for sale generate revenues at the time of sale (typically 30-60 days after closing). Accordingly, our production revenue in six months 2003 was driven by a mix of mortgage loans closed and mortgage loans sold. Total mortgage loans closed increased $16.1 billion (64%) to $41.2 billion in six months 2003, comprised of a $13.8 billion (89%) increase in closed loans to be securitized (sold by us) and a $2.3 billion (24%) increase in closed loans that were fee-based. Refinancings increased $14.2 billion (124%) to $25.7 billion and purchase mortgage closings grew $1.9 billion (14%) to $15.4 billion.
Net revenues from servicing mortgage loans declined $57 million, although recurring servicing fees (fees received for servicing existing loans in the portfolio) increased $19 million (9%) driven by a 16% period-over-period increase in the size of our average servicing portfolio to $117.8 billion. Net servicing revenues included an increase of $215 million in MSR amortization and provision for impairment (both of which are recorded against revenue) due to the high levels of refinancings and related loan prepayments resulting from the lower interest rate environment. However, this was partially offset by $141 million of incremental gains from hedging and other derivative activities to protect against changes in the fair value of MSR due to fluctuations in interest rates. Excluding the impact from the acquisition of NRT and its subsequent acquisitions, operating and administrative expenses within this segment increased approximately $145 million, primarily due to the direct costs incurred in connection with continued high level of mortgage loan production and related servicing activities.
Hospitality
Revenues and EBITDA increased $246 million (25%) and $9 million (3%) respectively, in six months 2003 compared with six months 2002. We completed the acquisitions of Trendwest, a leading
vacation ownership company, in June 2002 (90% was acquired in April 2002), Equivest Finance, Inc. in February 2002 and certain European vacation rental companies during
2002. The operating results of the acquired companies were included from the acquisition dates forward and therefore were incremental for the portions of six months 2003 that were
pre-acquisition periods in 2002. Accordingly, Trendwest, Equivest, and the acquired vacation rental companies contributed incremental revenues of $169 million, $8 million and
$46 million, respectively, and EBITDA of $23 million, $2 million and $13 million, respectively, in six months 2003 compared with six months 2002. Excluding the impact from
these acquisitions, revenues increased $23 million (2%) while EBITDA declined $29 million (10%), for the comparable six month periods in 2003 and 2002. Sales of vacation ownership
interests in our developed timeshare units contributed incremental revenues of $16 million in six months 2003, a 5% increase over six months 2002, primarily as a result of increased tour flow
at our Fairfield subsidiary resort sites. Timeshare subscription and exchange fee revenues within our timeshare exchange business increased $15 million (7%), primarily due to a 12% increase in
the average fee per exchange which was partially offset by a 5% reduction in the volume of exchange transactions which we believe was driven by apprehension over the military conflict in Iraq.
Royalties and marketing and reservation fund revenues within our lodging franchise operations declined $5 million (3%) in six months 2003 due to a 5% decline in the number of weighted average rooms available following our decision to remove from our franchise system certain properties that were not meeting required standards. This was partially offset by a 1% period-over-period increase in revenue per available room. Our lodging franchise business and our franchisees were unfavorably impacted in six months 2003 by the military conflict in Iraq, which compounded an already weak travel environment. As a result, during six months 2003, we recorded an incremental $11 million non-cash expense related to the doubtful collectibility of certain franchise receivables. Excluding acquisitions, operating and administrative expenses within this segment increased approximately $45 million in six months 2003, principally due to increased timeshare sales-related expenses, including variable expense increases on higher sales volumes and an increased investment in guest generation spending to enhance tour flows. In addition, expense increases represent volume-related growth in our timeshare exchange business in prior quarters, and our maintenance of current service levels.

Travel Distribution
Revenues and EBITDA declined $40 million (5%) and $45 million (16%), respectively, in six months 2003 compared with six months 2002. Galileo air travel booking fees decreased
$61 million (9%) due to an 11% decline in worldwide air booking volumes. Like other industry participants, we experienced a decline in travel demand affecting volumes and revenues across the
majority of our travel distribution businesses due to a number of factors, including military conflict in Iraq, continuing economic pressures, terrorist threat alerts, and health concerns in the
Asia/Pacific region and other parts of the world (SARS). However, as apprehension regarding the military conflict in Iraq and the risk posed by SARS subsided, air travel booking volumes have begun to
rebound with booking volumes having progressively improved in each respective month during the second quarter of 2003. To mitigate the impact of the industry decline, we initiated aggressive global
cost containment efforts within this business segment. Galileo subscriber fees and EBITDA during six months 2003 increased $28 million and $8 million, respectively, due to the
acquisition of national distribution companies (NDCs) in Europe during 2002. NDCs are independent organizations that market and sell Galileo global distribution and computer reservation services to
travel agents and other subscribers.
Trip Network, which we acquired in April 2003 and which operates Cheap Tickets, contributed $10 million in revenues and an EBITDA decline of $11 million in six months 2003 due to factors contributing to reductions in travel demand, as noted above. In addition, during the summer of 2002, we acquired two other companies that supply reservation and distribution services to the hospitality industry. The operating results of such companies were included from the acquisition dates forward and collectively contributed revenue of $21 million with a nominal EBITDA impact during six months 2003. Additionally, revenues from our travel agency business declined $17 million in six months 2003 due to a general industry decline in travel demand, as discussed above, reductions in commission rates paid by airlines, the lack of reduced-rate air inventory availability and a decline in travel-related clubs which are serviced by us. However, the impact on EBITDA of lower travel agency revenues was more than offset by variable expense savings on lower revenues and expense reductions due to cost containment initiatives relating to our travel agency business implemented in 2002 and 2003. EBITDA in six months 2003 was favorably impacted by $8 million in connection with a contract termination settlement during first quarter 2003.
Vehicle Services
Revenues increased $823 million (42%) while EBITDA declined $11 million (6%), in six months 2003 compared with the prior year period, primarily due to our acquisition of Budget. Budget's
operating results, including integration costs, were included from the acquisition date forward and contributed revenues of $847 million and EBITDA losses of $7 million in six months
2003. Excluding Budget's six months 2003 results, revenue and EBITDA declined $24 million (1%) and $4 million (2%), respectively, in six months 2003, which is primarily attributable to
reduced car rental demand offset by increased pricing at Avis. Avis domestic car rental revenues declined $61 million (6%) in six months 2003 compared with six months 2002. The net reduction in
domestic car rental revenues at Avis was primarily due to an 8% period-over-period reduction in domestic car rental days, which was partially offset by a 2% increase in time
and mileage revenue per domestic rental day, reflecting an increase in pricing that substantially flows to EBITDA. In addition, EBITDA, period-over-period, includes favorable
interest costs of $18 million on the financing of vehicles due to lower interest rates, which were offset by incremental vehicle-related net expenses and customer service costs. The increase in
vehicle-related net expenses includes incremental maintenance and damage costs due to a reduction in warranty-related services provided to car manufacturers, a decline in gas reimbursements from Avis
car rental customers and higher vehicle license and registration costs. Despite reduced Avis revenue domestically, revenues from Avis' international operations increased $22 million, due to
increased transaction volume and the favorable impact to revenues of exchange rates, in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, which was principally offset in EBITDA by the unfavorable impact on
expenses. Wright Express, our fuel card business, recognized incremental revenues of $17 million (28%) in six months 2003 compared with the prior year period. This was primarily due to growth
in fuel cards, card usage and higher gasoline prices whereby Wright Express earns a percentage of the total gas purchased by its clients.
Financial Services
Revenues and EBITDA decreased $66 million (9%) and $12 million (5%), respectively, in six months 2003 compared with the comparable prior year six months. Revenue and EBITDA reflect a
continued attrition of the membership base retained by us in connection with the outsourcing of our individual membership business to Trilegiant; however, the impact on EBITDA was mitigated by a net
reduction in expenses from
servicing fewer members. A smaller membership base resulted in a net revenue reduction of $114 million (net of $8 million of royalty income from Trilegiant), which was partially offset
in EBITDA by favorable membership operating expenses of $74 million. See the section entitled "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesAffiliated Entities" for a discussion concerning our
consolidation of Trilegiant on July 1, 2003 pursuant to FIN 46. Partially offsetting the impact from the attrition of the membership business was growth in our Jackson Hewitt tax preparation
franchise operations.
33
Jackson Hewitt generated incremental franchise royalty and tax preparation revenues of $20 million in six months 2003 compared with six months 2002, which was principally driven by a 12% increase in tax return volume and a 10% increase in the average price per return. Favorable results in the tax preparation franchise business are recognized with nominal increases in expenses due to significant operating leverage within this business. In addition, Jackson Hewitt also generated $11 million of incremental revenues from financial products and programs primarily due to timing, as revenues from a certain financial product program were earned in the first six months of 2003, when in 2002 such revenues were earned in the third quarter. Revenues benefited $13 million from incremental foreign currency translation gains at our international membership business. EBITDA, in six months 2003, was also impacted by an $8 million expense incurred in connection with a litigation settlement.
Corporate and Other
Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA increased $35 million and $78 million, respectively in six months 2003 compared with six months 2002. Revenues and EBITDA include a $30 million gain
in connection with the sale of our equity investment in Entertainment Publication, Inc., during first quarter 2003. EBITDA also reflects a greater absorption of overhead expenses by our
reportable operating segments during six months 2003 compared with six months 2002, principally due to expense allocations in six months 2003 to companies that were acquired during 2002 and did not
receive overhead allocations in the six months of last year. Also contributing to an increase in EBITDA period-over-period was the absence of costs incurred in six months 2002
associated with the December 2001 outsourcing of substantially all of our domestic data center operations and other information technology functions.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Within our vehicle rental, vehicle management, relocation, mortgage services and vacation ownership businesses, we purchase assets or finance the purchase of assets on behalf of our clients. Assets generated in this process are classified as assets under management and mortgage programs. We seek to offset the interest rate exposures inherent in these assets by matching them with financial liabilities that have similar term and interest rate characteristics. As a result, we minimize the interest rate risk associated with managing these assets and create greater certainty around the financial income that they produce. Fees generated from our clients are used, in part, to repay the interest and principal associated with the financial liabilities. Funding for our assets under management and mortgage programs is also provided by both unsecured borrowings and asset-backed financing arrangements, which are classified as liabilities under management and mortgage programs, as well as securitization facilities with special purpose entities. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of such assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of our management and mortgage programs. Our finance activities vary from the rest of our businesses based upon the impact of the relative business and financial risks and asset attributes, as well as the nature and timing associated with the respective cash flows. Accordingly, we believe that it is appropriate to segregate our assets under management and mortgage programs and our liabilities under management and mortgage programs separately from the assets and liabilities of the rest of our businesses because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such liabilities is the realization of such assets.

Mandatorily redeemable preferred interest | 375 | 375 | | |||||||
Stockholders' equity | 9,776 | 9,315 | 461 |
Total assets exclusive of assets under management and mortgage programs decreased slightly primarily due to (i) a reduction in timeshare-related inventory as a result of a reclassification to assets under management and mortgage programs as such assets were financed under a program during first quarter 2003, (ii) a decrease in non-current deferred income taxes primarily resulting from the utilization of a portion of our net operating loss carryforward and (iii) the sale of properties and the related mortgages, which we had acquired upon foreclosure due to borrowers'
34
delinquencies. Such decreases were partially offset by an increase of $501 million in cash and cash equivalents (see "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesCash Flows" below for a detailed discussion of such increase).
Total liabilities exclusive of liabilities under management and mortgage programs decreased slightly primarily due to the repurchase/redemption of approximately $2.7 billion of debt securities, which was substantially offset by the issuance of approximately $2.6 billion in longer-term debt securities during first quarter 2003 (see "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFinancial ObligationsCorporate Indebtedness" for a detailed account of this activity).
Assets under management and mortgage programs increased primarily due to (i) the purchase of vehicles used primarily in our vehicle rental operations, (ii) the acquisition of FFD Development Company LLC and the timeshare financing referred to above and (iii) timing differences in the balance of mortgage loans held for sale arising between the origination and sales of such loans. Such increases were partially offset by a net reduction of $387 million in our mortgage servicing rights assets, including the related derivatives (see Note 6 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a detailed account of the change in our mortgage servicing rights asset and related derivative assets).
Liabilities under management and mortgage programs increased primarily due to issuances of debt during 2003 to support the growth in our portfolio of assets under management and mortgage programs, as discussed above (see "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFinancial ObligationsDebt Related to Management and Mortgage Programs" for a detailed account of the change in debt related to management and mortgage programs).
Stockholders' equity increased primarily due to (i) $691 million of net income generated during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and (ii) $117 million related to the exercise of employee stock options. Such increases were partially offset by our repurchase of $461 million (32.3 million shares) in common stock.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and our ability to generate cash through operations and financing activities, as well as available credit and securitization facilities, each of which is discussed below.
CASH FLOWS
At June 30, 2003, we had $627 million of cash on hand, an increase of $501 million from $126 million at December 31, 2002. The following table summarizes such
increase:

During the first half of 2003, we generated approximately $2.4 billion of net cash from operating activities as compared to using $684 million of net cash during the comparable period in 2002. This change principally reflects the completion of our funding the principal stockholder litigation settlement liability in 2002, as noted in the table above. Excluding the effects of the principal stockholder litigation settlement funding, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $198 million. Such change primarily represents (i) greater net income, (ii) better management of our working capital and (iii) proceeds received from the termination of fair value hedges of corporate debt instruments (we subsequently reset these hedge positions to create a desired balance between its floating rate debt and floating rate assets). These increases were partially offset in the operating activities of our management and mortgage programs due to a decrease in net cash inflows provided by mortgage origination and sale activities, which results from a timing difference on the receipt of proceeds from the sales of originated loans.
35
During the first half of 2003, we used approximately $1.8 billion of net cash for investing activities as compared to generating $216 million of net cash during the comparable period in 2002. This change principally reflects the absence in 2003 of (i) $1.41 billion of proceeds received in 2002 from the stockholder litigation settlement trust, which represented funds that we deposited to the trust in 2001 that were then used in 2002 to fund the stockholder litigation settlement liability, as discussed above, and (ii) $1.2 billion in proceeds received from the May 2002 sale of our car parking facility business. Excluding these amounts, we used $602 million less cash for investing activities during 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. This decrease primarily reflects our decision to significantly curtail acquisitions, as evidenced by an almost $500 million reduction in cash used for this purpose. Also contributing to this change aggregate proceeds of $72 million received in 2003 on the sale of our investment in Entertainment Publications, Inc. ($33 million) and the sale/leaseback of one of our New Jersey facilities ($39 million). The investing activities of our management and mortgage programs remained relatively flat period-over-period as the increase in net cash used to acquire vehicles was partially offset by greater cash inflows on derivative contracts used to manage the interest rate risk inherent in our MSR asset. We also used $59 million more cash in 2003 for capital expenditures to support operational growth and businesses acquired in 2002 and to enhance marketing opportunities and develop operating efficiencies through technological improvements. We continue to anticipate aggregate capital expenditure investments for 2003 to be in the range of $450 million to $480 million.
During the first half of 2003, we used $995 million less cash for financing activities as compared to the first half of 2002. While we benefited from approximately $2.6 billion of proceeds received during 2003 on the issuance of fixed-rate debt, this cash was deployed to increase debt repayments by approximately $1.7 billion and to increase share repurchases by $324 million period-over-period. These changes demonstrate our dedication to strengthening our liquidity position. Further contributing to this change is an increase of $427 million in the financing activities of our management and mortgage programs, which primarily represents greater borrowings in 2003 to support the purchase of vehicles used in our vehicle rental operations. See "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFinancial Obligations" for a detailed discussion of financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Throughout the second half of 2003, we intend to deploy our available cash and the cash generated through our operations primarily to reduce/retire corporate indebtedness and repurchase outstanding shares of our common stock. Management currently expects that we will use $229 million of cash in December 2003 to retire our 73/4% notes. Additionally, management currently intends to use cash to redeem our zero coupon senior convertible contingent notes and zero coupon convertible debentures on their call dates (February 2004 and May 2004, respectively); however, holders of these instruments may convert them into shares of our common stock if the price of such stock exceeds the stipulated thresholds. We also intend to begin paying a quarterly cash dividend in 2004. While we expect the quarterly dividend to start at 7 cents per share (or 28 cents per share annually), we anticipate increasing the dividend over time as our earnings and cash flow grow.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
At June 30, 2003, we had approximately $20.1 billion of indebtedness (including corporate indebtedness of $5.5 billion, Upper DECS of $863 million, debt under management
and mortgage programs of $13.3 billion and our mandatorily redeemable preferred interest of $375 million).

The change in our total corporate debt reflects the issuance of $2.6 billion in notes with maturity dates ranging from five to eleven years, the proceeds of which were primarily used to repurchase debt with nearer-term maturities. Through second quarter 2003, we have repurchased a total of $2.1 billion in debt, $1.6 billion of which was scheduled to mature or potentially become due in 2003 (73/4% notes and zero coupon convertible debentures). Through these repurchases, we have not only eliminated a significant liquidity need, we have also removed 49.7 million shares of potential dilution from our future earnings per share which, together with the repurchase of $396 million of our 37/8% convertible senior debentures, brings the total number of shares of potential dilution removed to 83 million.

Off Balance-Sheet Financing Arrangements
We sell specific assets under management and mortgage programs in exchange for cash. Within our timeshare business, timeshare receivables are sold to Sierra Receivables Funding Company LLC, a
bankruptcy remote qualifying special purpose entity (prior to the establishment of Sierra, we sold timeshare
receivables to multiple bankruptcy remote qualifying special purpose entities). At our PHH subsidiary, we sell relocation receivables to Apple Ridge Funding LLC, a bankruptcy remote qualifying special
purpose entity. Our PHH subsidiary also sells loans originated by our mortgage business into the secondary market, which is customary practice in the mortgage industry. Such mortgage loans are sold
into the secondary market primarily through one of the following means: (i) the direct sale to a government-sponsored entity, (ii) through capacity under a subsidiary's public
registration statement (which approximated $1.97 billion as of June 30, 2003) or (iii) through Bishop's Gate Residential Mortgage Trust, a bankruptcy remote special purpose
entity. The assets sold to and the debt issued by these entities are not presented on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

However, the receivables and mortgage loans transferred to the above special purpose entities, as well as the mortgage loans sold to the secondary market through other means, are generally non-recourse to us and to PHH.

Pursuant to FIN 46, we will consolidate Bishop's Gate on July 1, 2003 through the application of the prospective transition method (see Note 1 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for more information on FIN 46 and the future consolidation of Bishop's Gate). The consolidation of this entity will not affect our results of operations or cause any changes to our prior period consolidated financial statements (including first and second quarters of 2003). However, the consolidation of Bishop's Gate will cause our total assets and liabilities under management and mortgage programs to increase by approximately $2.1 billion each on July 1, 2003.
Additionally in third quarter 2003, we requested that the boards of directors of the qualified special purpose entities we use to securitize our timeshare receivables amend these structures to enable us to begin consolidating these entities. We would continue to transfer timeshare receivables to these entities; however, gains would no longer be recognized at the time of such transfers. While the requested amendments have not yet been approved, we anticipate that the consolidation of these entities would increase our assets and liabilities under management and mortgage programs by approximately $1 billion each and, as previously disclosed, we estimate that the change in the timing of income recognition resulting from the likely consolidation would reduce our 2003 earnings per share by $0.01 to $0.02.

LIQUIDITY RISK
Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in any one of the industries in which we operate. Additionally, our liquidity as it relates to both management and mortgage
programs, could be adversely affected by (i) the deterioration in the performance of the underlying assets of such programs, (ii) the impairment of our ability to access the principal
financing program for our vehicle rental subsidiaries if General Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company should not be able to honor its obligations to repurchase a substantial number of our vehicles
and (iii) our inability to access the secondary market for mortgage loans or certain of our securitization facilities and our inability to act as servicer thereto, which could become limited in
the event that our or PHH's credit ratings are downgraded below investment grade and, in certain circumstances, where we or PHH fail to meet certain financial ratios. Further, access to our credit
facilities may be limited if we were to fail to meet certain financial ratios. We do not believe that our or PHH's credit ratings are likely to fall below investment grade. Additionally, we monitor
the maintenance of required financial ratios and as of June 30, 2003, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit and securitization facilities. Currently our credit ratings are
as follows:
|
Moody's Investor Service |
Standard & Poor's |
Fitch Ratings |
|||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cendant | ||||||
Senior unsecured debt | Baa1 | BBB | BBB+ | |||
Subordinated debt | Baa2 | BBB- | BBB | |||
PHH |
||||||
Senior debt | Baa1 | BBB+ | BBB+ | |||
Short-term debt | P-2 | A-2 | F-2 |
All of the above credit ratings, with the exception of those assigned to PHH's short-term debt, are currently on negative outlook. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As of June 30, 2003, our future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts reported within our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the exception
of our commitment to purchase vehicles during 2003, which now approximates $1.4 billion, a decrease of approximately $1.2 billion from the amount previously disclosed. Any changes to our
obligations related to corporate indebtedness and debt under management and mortgage programs are presented above within the section entitled "Financial Obligations" herein and also within Notes 7 and
8 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
AFFILIATED OPERATING ENTITIES
As of June 30, 2003, the only affiliated operating entity that we had not consolidated was Trilegiant Corporation. In connection with our adoption of FIN 46, we will begin consolidating
Trilegiant in the third quarter of 2003, which will result in a non-cash charge of approximately $300 million recorded on July 1, 2003 as a cumulative effect of accounting
change. This non-cash charge does not impact income from continuing operations or the related per share amounts. Although we will be recording Trilegiant's profits and losses in our
consolidated results of operations (beginning July 1, 2003), we are not obligated to infuse capital or otherwise fund or cover any losses incurred by Trilegiant. Therefore, our maximum exposure
to loss as a result of our involvement with Trilegiant is substantially limited to the advances and loans we made to Trilegiant, as well as any receivables due from Trilegiant (collectively
aggregating $112 million as of June 30, 2003), as such amounts may not be recoverable if Trilegiant were to cease operations. Upon consolidation of Trilegiant, our total assets and
liabilities will increase by approximately $100 million and $400 million (approximately $250 million of which represents deferred income), respectively.
Trilegiant operates membership-based clubs and programs and other incentive-based programs through an outsourcing arrangement with us. Pursuant to such arrangement, we retained substantially all of the assets and liabilities of our existing membership business and licensed Trilegiant the right to market products utilizing our intellectual property to new members. Accordingly, we continue to collect membership fees from, and are obligated to provide membership benefits to, members of our individual membership business that existed as of July 2, 2001 (referred to as "existing members"), including their renewals and Trilegiant provides fulfillment services for these members in exchange for a servicing fee pursuant to the Third Party Administrator agreement. Furthermore, Trilegiant collects the membership fees from, and is obligated to provide membership benefits to, any members who
41
joined the membership based clubs and programs and all other incentive programs subsequent to July 2, 2001 (referred to as "new members") and recognizes the related revenue and expenses. Similar to our franchise businesses, we receive a royalty from Trilegiant on all future revenue generated by the new members.
During the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, revenues from existing members approximated $84 million and $139 million, respectively. Trilegiant charged us $34 million and $44 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, in connection with providing fulfillment services to these members. During the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we also recorded revenues of $16 million and $13 million, respectively, (representing royalties and licensing and leasing fees) and marketing expenses of $4 million and $2 million, respectively (related to the advance made to Trilegiant in 2001) in connection with the outsourcing arrangement. The resultant impact of these activities to our cash position was a net inflow of $7 million and $9 million to cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, revenues from existing members approximated $174 million and $296 million, respectively. Trilegiant charged us $70 million and $95 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, in connection with providing fulfillment services to these members. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, we also recorded revenues of $33 million and $24 million, respectively (representing royalties and licensing and leasing fees) and marketing expenses of $8 million and $12 million, respectively (related to the advance made to Trilegiant in 2001) in connection with the outsourcing arrangement. The resultant impact of these activities to our cash position was a net inflow of $29 million and $36 million to cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
As of June 30, 2003, our equity ownership interest in Trilegiant approximated 35% on a fully diluted basis; however, after giving consideration to the applicable stockholder's agreement, we believe that we have the right to acquire an additional 7% ownership interest.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The majority of our businesses operate in environments where we are paid a fee for a service performed. Therefore, the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial
statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex. However, in presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we
are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions that we are required to make pertain to matters that are inherently
uncertain as they relate to future events. Presented within the section entitled "Critical Accounting Policies" of our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K are the accounting policies
that we believe require subjective and/or complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results (mortgage servicing rights, retained interests from securitizations, financial instruments
and goodwill and other intangible assets). There have not been any significant changes to those accounting policies nor to our assessment of which accounting policies we would consider to be critical
accounting policies. From time to time, we evaluate the estimates used in recording goodwill in connection with the acquisition of a business. In certain circumstances, those estimates may be based
upon preliminary or outdated information. Accordingly, the allocation to goodwill is subject to revision when we receive new information. Revisions to the estimates are recorded as further adjustments
to goodwill or within the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income, as appropriate.
On January 1 2003, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and all the provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure." As a result, we changed our accounting policy for stock-based compensation.
Also on January 1, 2003, we adopted the following standards as a result of the issuance of new accounting pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in 2002:
42
During 2003, the FASB also issued the following pronouncements, which we will adopt on July 1, 2003:
For more detailed information regarding any of these pronouncements and the impact thereof on our business, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
As previously discussed in our 2002 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 June 30, 2003 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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
In Re Homestore.com Securities Litigation, No. 10-CV-11115 (MJP) (U.S.D.C., C.D. Cal.). On November 15, 2002, Cendant and Richard A. Smith, one of our officers, were added as defendants in a purported class action. The 26 other defendants in such action include Homestore.com, Inc., certain of its officers and directors and its auditors. Such action was filed on behalf of persons who purchased stock of Homestore.com (an Internet-based provider of residential real estate listings) between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2001. The complaint in this action alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act based on purported misconduct in connection with the accounting of certain revenues in financial statements published by Homestore.com during the class period. On January 10, 2003, we, together with Mr. Smith, filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claims for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. A hearing on our motion to dismiss was held on February 14, 2003 and at the conclusion thereof the motion was submitted to the court for determination. On March 7, 2003, the court granted our motion and dismissed the complaint, as against Cendant and Mr. Smith, with prejudice. On April 14, 2003, plaintiffs filed a motion for an order certifying an issue for interlocutory appeal. In an order dated July 11, 2003, the court denied plaintiffs' motion.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
We held an Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 20, 2003, pursuant to a Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement dated March 28, 2003, a copy of which has been filed previously with the Securities and Exchange Commission, at which our stockholders approved the election of five directors for a term of three years, the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditors of the financial statements for fiscal year 2003 and an increase in shares available under the Cendant Corporation Amended and Restated 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Dear Jim:
Reference is made to the employment agreement by and between Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") and you dated as of September 12, 1997, as amended (your "Employment Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in your Employment Agreement.
As you know, you will be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus in respect of fiscal year 2003 with an opportunity of up to 200% (or such percentage as otherwise determined in accordance with the annual bonus plan) of your eligible base compensation in 2003 (the "2003 Bonus Plan"). It is Cendant's intention to maintain this bonus opportunity for you, but Cendant reserves the right to reduce your bonus opportunity in future years (but not below the target minimum amount set forth in your Employment Agreement).
In consideration for your eligibility to receive the 2003 Bonus Plan and also in consideration for your award of restricted stock units as of April 22, 2003 as part of Cendant's Long Term Incentive Plan for 2003, this letter serves as a binding acknowledgment of your rights under your Employment Agreement as to the following matters:
1. Each Incentive Compensation Award payable with respect to any fiscal year following and including fiscal year 2002 which is taken into account in determining the 500% severance payment to which you will become entitled if your employment is terminated at any time during the Period of Employment by Cendant due to a Without Cause Termination or by you due to a Constructive Discharge and the 200% severance payment to which you will become entitled upon your resignation for any reason, will in no event be greater than 100% of your Base Salary in the fiscal year to which such Incentive Compensation Award relates.
2. The 36 months of continued benefits and perquisites to which you and your eligible dependents will become entitled if your employment is terminated at any time during the Period of Employment by Cendant due to a Without Cause Termination or by you due to a Constructive Discharge or if you resign for any reason will be limited to the benefits and perquisites provided under the plans listed on Attachment A hereto; provided, however, that your entitlement to continued benefits and perquisites will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the plans listed on Attachment A, as may be modified from time to time. Notwithstanding anything contained in your Employment Agreement, Cendant will be permitted to meet any of its obligations to provide you with continued benefits and perquisites by paying, or providing for the payment of, such benefits and perquisites directly or through alternate plans or individual policies with terms that are substantially similar (with respect to both coverage and cost to you) to the plans listed on Attachment A.
3. You acknowledge that Cendant will be terminating your current split dollar life insurance arrangement within the next few months and you agree that the termination of such arrangement will not constitute a breach of your Employment Agreement by Cendant and will not form grounds for a Constructive Discharge. You agree to execute any documents necessary to terminate such policies and/or transfer policy value to Cendant. Cendant is currently working towards providing a benefit arrangement to replace your split dollar life insurance arrangement and you will be notified when such replacement arrangement is implemented.
Please acknowledge your agreement with the foregoing by signing below and returning a copy of this letter agreement to my attention. Thank you.
Very truly yours, /s/ TERRY CONLEY |

Dear Richard:
Reference is made to the employment agreement by and between Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") and you dated as of June 2, 2001 (your "Employment Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in your Employment Agreement.
As you know, you will be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus in respect of fiscal year 2003 with an opportunity of up to 200% (or such percentage as otherwise determined in accordance with the annual bonus plan) of your eligible base compensation in 2003 (the "2003 Bonus Plan"). It is Cendant's intention to maintain this bonus opportunity for you, but Cendant reserves the right to reduce your bonus opportunity in future years (but not below the 100% target minimum set forth in your Employment Agreement).
In consideration for your eligibility to receive the 2003 Bonus Plan and also in consideration for your award of restricted stock units as of April 22, 2003 as part of Cendant's Long Term Incentive Plan for 2003, this letter serves as a binding acknowledgment of your rights under your Employment Agreement as to the following matters:
1. Your target Incentive Compensation Award will be deemed to equal 100% of your Base Salary in the year of your termination solely for purposes of calculating your severance payment (i.e., severance of 300% of Base Salary plus target Incentive Compensation Award) to which you will become entitled if your employment is terminated at any time during the Period of Employment by Cendant due to a Without Cause Termination or by you due to a Constructive Discharge.
2. The continued health, medical, life and disability benefits to which you and your eligible dependents will become entitled until you reach age 62 (or, in the event your employment terminates during the Period of Employment by reason of Without Cause Termination, Constructive Discharge, death or Disability, age 75 (the "Age 75 Benefits Extension")) if your employment is terminated at any time during the Period of Employment will be limited to the benefits provided under the plans listed on Attachment A hereto; provided, however, that your entitlement to continued benefits will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the plans listed on Attachment A, as may be modified from time to time, and that disability benefits will not be provided in any event. Notwithstanding anything contained in your Employment Agreement, Cendant will be permitted to meet any of its obligations to provide you with continued health and medical benefits and life insurance benefits by paying, or providing for the payment of, such benefits directly or through alternate plans or individual policies with terms that are no less favorable in all material respects (with respect to both coverage and cost to you) to the plans listed on Attachment A.
3. Cendant agrees to provide you the Age 75 Benefits Extension (i.e., the benefits provided under the plans listed on Attachment A hereto through the plan year in which you turn age 75 and on the same terms that would apply in the event of a Without Cause Termination) in the event that the Period of Employment (as defined in the Employment Agreement) expires on June 30, 2004 and Cendant does not offer to extend the Period of Employment by a period of at least two years on substantially similar economic terms and conditions.
4. You acknowledge that Cendant will be terminating your current split dollar life insurance arrangement within the next few months and you agree that the termination of such arrangement will not constitute a breach of your Employment Agreement by Cendant and will not form grounds for a Constructive Discharge. You agree to execute any documents necessary to terminate such policies and/or transfer policy value to Cendant. Cendant is currently working towards providing a benefit arrangement to replace your split dollar life insurance arrangement and you will be notified when such replacement arrangement is implemented.

Dear Sam:
Reference is made to the employment agreement by and between Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") and you dated as of April 1, 1999, as amended (your "Employment Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in your Employment Agreement.
As you know, you will be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus in respect of fiscal year 2003 with an opportunity of up to 200% (or such percentage as otherwise determined in accordance with the annual bonus plan) of your eligible base compensation in 2003 (the "2003 Bonus Plan"). It is Cendant's intention to maintain this bonus opportunity for you, but Cendant reserves the right to reduce your bonus opportunity in future years (but not below the 100% target minimum set forth in your Employment Agreement).
In consideration for your eligibility to receive the 2003 Bonus Plan and also in consideration for your award of restricted stock units as of April 22, 2003 as part of Cendant's Long Term Incentive Plan for 2003, this letter serves as a binding acknowledgment of your rights under your Employment Agreement as to the following matters:

2. Any Incentive Compensation Award and/or any incentive compensation award (of any other officer) taken into account in determining the 300% severance payment to which you will become entitled if your employment is terminated at any time during the Period of Employment by Cendant due to a Without Cause Termination or by you due to a Constructive Discharge, will in no event be greater than 100% of your Base Salary in the year of such termination.
3. You acknowledge that your Employment Agreement does not entitle you to any post-termination continuation of benefits or perquisites.
4. You acknowledge that Cendant will be terminating your current split dollar life insurance arrangement within the next few months and you agree that the termination of such arrangement will not constitute a breach of your Employment Agreement by Cendant and will not form grounds for a Constructive Discharge.

Dear Tom:
Reference is made to the employment agreement by and between Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") and you dated as of January 12, 2000, as amended (your "Employment Agreement"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in your Employment Agreement.
As you know, you will be eligible to receive an annual incentive bonus in respect of fiscal year 2003 with an opportunity of up to 200% (or such percentage as otherwise determined in accordance with the annual bonus plan) of your eligible base compensation in 2003 (the "2003 Bonus Plan").

2. The applicable number of months of continued post-termination medical insurance benefits to which you and your eligible dependents will become entitled if your employment is terminated at any time during the Period of Employment by Cendant due to a Without Cause Termination or by you due to a Constructive Discharge will be limited to the benefits provided under the plans listed on Attachment A hereto; provided, however, that your entitlement to continued benefits will remain subject to the terms and conditions of the plans listed on Attachment A, as may be modified from time to time.

FIRST AMENDMENT
TO AMENDED AND EXTENDED
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This First Amendment (this "Amendment") to the Amended and Extended Employment Agreement dated as of July 1, 2002 (the "Employment Agreement") by and between Cendant Corporation (the "Company") and Henry R. Silverman (the "Executive") is hereby entered into by and among the Company, the Executive, the Trustee of the Henry R. Silverman 1999 Insurance Trust (the "1999 Trust") and the Trustee of the Henry R. Silverman 2000 Insurance Trust (the "2000 Trust" and, collectively with the 1999 Trust, the "Trusts") and shall become effective this 28th day of July, 2003.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive entered into the Employment Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive, as well as the Trustee of the 1999 Trust, entered into a Split Dollar Agreement dated as of August 23, 2000 (the "1999 Split Dollar Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive, as well as the Trustee of the 2000 Trust, entered into a Split Dollar Agreement dated as of August 23, 2000 (the "2000 Split Dollar Agreement" and, collectively with the 1999 Split Dollar Agreement, the "Split Dollar Agreements"); and
WHEREAS, as collateral security for the liability of the Trusts to the Company under the Split Dollar Agreements, the Trustee of the Trusts executed a limited collateral assignment in connection with each of the Split Dollar Agreements (the "Limited Collateral Assignments"); and
WHEREAS, the Employment Agreement provides that the Company shall maintain for the Executive's life term life insurance in the aggregate face amount of $100 million pursuant to which the Executive shall have the right to name the beneficiaries (the "Insurance Entitlement"); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have agreed that the Company shall have the right to provide the insurance benefits contemplated under the Split Dollar Agreements in lieu of providing the Insurance Entitlement; and
WHEREAS, the Company, the Executive and the Trusts have agreed that, in light of, among other things, the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, it would be in the mutual best interests of the Company, the Executive and the Trusts to terminate the Company's obligations pursuant to the Insurance Entitlement, amend and restate the Split Dollar Agreements, and provide the Executive with a life insurance benefit in the manner described in this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to the terms and conditions set forth below.
1. Amendment and Restatement of Split Dollar Agreements. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Amendment, the 1999 Split Dollar Agreement and the 2000 Split Dollar Agreement shall each be amended and restated to conform to the provisions of this Amendment, and, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2 of this Amendment, the provisions of the Split Dollar Agreements and the Limited Collateral Assignments, including, without limitation the Policies (as respectively defined in each of the Split Dollar Agreements), shall, with respect to all Policies that have not been terminated as provided for herein, continue in full force and effect until all of the New Policies and Key Man Insurance described herein are implemented and the full life insurance protection described herein to be provided under the New Policies and the Key Man Insurance is in full force and effect (the "Implementation Date").
2. Termination of the Policies. Upon the Company's acquisition of a New Policy described in paragraph 4A of this Amendment and the endorsement of the death benefit of such New Policy to the Trusts in the manner set forth in paragraph 4A of this Amendment, the Trusts shall contemporaneously therewith terminate for its/their cash surrender value one or more of the Policies (as respectively
defined in each of the Split Dollar Agreements) with an aggregate face amount equal to the face amount of such New Policy; provided, however, that prior to the Company's acquisition of the Key Man Insurance described in paragraph 4A of this Amendment, the Trusts shall keep in full force one or more Policies with an aggregate face amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate premiums payable by the Company on the first year's insurance coverage on the New Policies and (ii) the "Advances" (as such term is defined in the Split-Dollar Agreements) with respect to such one or more Policies that are being kept in force pursuant to this proviso. Upon receipt of the cash surrender value under any such terminated Policy or Policies, the Trusts shall immediately thereafter transfer all cash surrender value under such terminated Policy or Policies to the Company for its sole and exclusive benefit. Upon the termination of any such Policy, such terminated Policy shall thereafter not be subject to the terms and conditions of the Split Dollar Agreements, and the Limited Collateral Assignment with respect to such terminated Policy shall terminate. The parties hereby agree to cooperate (including by executing appropriate documents) to implement the matters contemplated in this paragraph 2.
3. Termination of the Insurance Entitlement. Section 4(g) of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted and of no further force or effect effective as of the Implementation Date. The Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Company as set forth in this Amendment constitute the sole and exclusive obligations of the Company with respect to life insurance coverage for the benefit of the Executive (other than group life insurance).
4A. Acquisition of New Insurance; Endorsement. As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Amendment, the Company shall acquire one or more life insurance policies on the life of the Executive with an aggregate face amount of $100 million (individually a "New Policy" and collectively the "New Policies"). The New Policies shall be underwritten by one or more insurance companies reasonably acceptable to both the Company and the Trusts and shall otherwise in all respects be reasonably acceptable to both the Company and the Trusts. The Trusts hereby consent to the Company's acquisition of the New Policies and agree to take all reasonable actions, including executing such appropriate documents, in each case as necessary to facilitate the acquisition of the New Policies. The Company shall promptly endorse to the Trusts $100,000,000 of life insurance under the New Policies and the sole and exclusive right to name the beneficiary with respect to the $100,000,000 of life insurance under the New Policies (the "Endorsements"). The Endorsements shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A1. As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Amendment, the Company shall also acquire one or more life insurance policies on the life of the Executive with an aggregate face amount of $37.5 million (the "Key Man Insurance"). The Company shall at all times remain the beneficiary of the Key Man Insurance; provided, however, that each and every time the Company pays a premium on the New Policies and/or the Key Man Insurance, the Company shall promptly endorse to the Trusts (i) an additional death benefit under the Key Man Insurance equal to the sum of (a) the amount of such premium paid by the Company on the New Policies, and (b) the amount of such premium paid by the Company on the death benefit under the Key Man Insurance then being endorsed to the Trusts under clause (a) above; and (ii) the sole and exclusive right to name the beneficiary with respect to the amount of the death benefit under the Key Man Insurance endorsed to the Trusts under clause (i) above. Such endorsement with respect to the Key Man Insurance shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A2.
4B. Allocation of Life Insurance Endorsed to Trusts. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any life insurance under the New Policies and the Key Man Insurance that is directed to be endorsed to the Trusts under this Agreement shall be allocated as follows: (i) seventy-five percent (75%) of such life insurance shall be endorsed to the 1999 Trust and the 1999 Trust shall have the sole and exclusive right to name the beneficiary with respect to seventy-five percent (75%) of such life insurance, and (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of such life insurance shall be endorsed to the 2000 Trust and the 2000 Trust shall have the sole and exclusive right to name the beneficiary with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of such life insurance.
2
5A. Premium PaymentsPrior to Purchase Election. The Company shall at all times be solely responsible for making all premium payments in respect of the Key Man Insurance; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate the Key Man Insurance following the exercise of the Purchase Election (as defined in paragraph 6 below) with respect to all (but not less than all) of the New Policies. At all times prior to the exercise of the Purchase Election with respect to all (but not less than all) of the New Policies: (i) the Trusts shall be responsible for contributing a portion of all premium payments, on a timely basis, into the New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has not been made in an amount equal to the Economic Benefit (as defined below) to the Executive in respect of the New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has not been made; (ii) the Company shall be responsible for making the Required Premium Payments (as defined below), on a timely basis, into the New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has not been made; and (iii) after giving effect to clauses (i) and (ii), in the event the premium payments under the New Policies are not paid in full (or not paid to the extent necessary to maintain the full face amount), any remaining premium payments shall be payable by the Trusts at their sole option. At any time following the exercise of the Purchase Election with respect to all (but not less than all) of the New Policies, the Company shall have the right in its sole discretion to terminate the Key Man Insurance. For purposes of this paragraph 5A, (i) Economic Benefit shall mean an amount equal to the annual cost of current life insurance protection on the life of the Executive with a death benefit of $100,000,000 reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate death benefit of any New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has been made, measured by the lower of the Table 2001 rate (as originally published in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2001-10) or the applicable insurance company's current published premium rate for annually renewable term insurance for standard risks, and (ii) Required Premium Payments shall mean the payments set forth on Exhibit B hereto taking into account the footnotes thereon.
5B. Effect of the Executive's DeathPrior to Purchase Election. If the Executive dies prior to the Purchase Election with respect to all (but not less than all) of the New Policies, the Company will receive from the death benefits payable by the insurance company or companies that issued the New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has not been made the greater of (i) total amount of premiums paid on the New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has not been made or (ii) the cash surrender value of the New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has not been made.
5C. Effect of Reduction in Face Amount of Insurance. The parties agree that the Trusts shall have the right to reduce the aggregate face amount of insurance coverage in respect of any New Policy at any time. In the event that the Trusts determine to reduce the aggregate face amount of insurance coverage in respect of any New Policy, then there shall be an equal percentage reduction to both the Required Premium Payments applicable to that New Policy, and the amounts required to be paid by the Trusts in respect of such New Policy pursuant to paragraph 5A(i) above in respect of the Economic Benefit.
6. Purchase Election. At any time, and from time to time, each Trust shall have the right to purchase any or all of the New Policies allocated to such Trust pursuant to paragraph 4B above (the "Purchase Election") by making a payment to the Company equal to the aggregate cash surrender value (as of the purchase date) of the policy or policies being purchased (the "Exercise Price"). In connection with any such exercise, the Company shall make a cash bonus payment to the Executive equal to the Exercise Price. In the event that the Purchase Election is exercised during any calendar year with respect to a New Policy, all premium payments (including Required Premium Payments) in respect of any such New Policy shall thereafter be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Trust that exercised the Purchase Election with respect to such New Policy. As of the date any New Policy is purchased in full, the Endorsement with respect to such New Policy shall terminate and such New Policy shall thereafter not be subject to the terms and conditions of the Split-Dollar Agreements, as
3
amended and restated in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Amendment. As of the date any New Policy is purchased in part, the amount of life insurance required to be endorsed to the Trusts under paragraph 4A of this Amendment shall be reduced by the face amount of death benefits with respect to New Policies that are purchased by the Trusts.
7A. Post-Exercise Bonus Program. Following the exercise of the Purchase Election, the Company shall have no further obligations to make the Required Premium Payments or any other payments in respect of any New Policy in respect of which the Purchase Election was made. All premium payments (including Required Premium Payments) in respect of any such New Policy shall thereafter be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Trusts. Following the exercise of any such Purchase Election, the Company shall make a cash bonus payment (the "Cash Bonus Payment") to the Executive on an annual basis in an amount equal to the premium payments made by the Trusts during such year in respect of the New Policy in respect of which the Purchase Election was made, including, if applicable, a pro rata Cash Bonus Payment in respect of the partial calendar year after which the Purchase Election is exercised (the "Annual Bonus Program"). The Cash Bonus Payment amounts under the Annual Bonus Program are set forth on Exhibit C hereto, assuming that the Purchase Election has been exercised with respect to all New Policies. To the extent the Purchase Election has been exercised with respect to some, but not all, of the New Policies, Cash Bonus Payments under the Annual Bonus Program shall equal the amounts reflected in the footnotes to Exhibit C for the New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has been made in full and shall be prorated for the New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has been made in part based on a fraction the numerator of which is the face amount purchased by the Trusts of the New Policies with respect to which the Purchase Election has been exercised in part, and the denominator of which is the aggregate face amount of the New Policies with respect to which a purchase election has been made in part. At the time of each Cash Bonus Payment under the Annual Bonus Program, the Company shall make an additional payment (the "Bonus Reimbursement Payment") to the Executive in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the income taxes imposed upon the Cash Bonus Payment, (ii) the gift taxes that would be imposed assuming the Executive gifted to the Trusts an amount equal to the Cash Bonus Payment, and (iii) an additional amount such that, after imposition of income taxes on the payments made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, as well as on the payments described in this clause (iii), the Executive retains an amount equal to the aggregate payments determined under clauses (i) and (ii) above. For purposes of determining the Bonus Reimbursement Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to (i) pay Federal income and gift taxes at the Executive's highest applicable marginal rate of Federal income and gift taxation, as applicable, for the calendar year in which the Bonus Reimbursement Payment is to be made and (ii) pay any applicable state and local income and gift taxes at the Executive's highest applicable marginal rate of income and gift taxation, as applicable, for the calendar year in which the Bonus Reimbursement Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income or gift taxes, as applicable, which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local income or gift taxes, as applicable, if paid in such year. All payments pursuant to this paragraph 7A shall be treated as cash compensation paid by the Company to the Executive for tax purposes. All payments (other than any payments accrued but unpaid prior to the Executive's death) pursuant to this paragraph 7A shall cease upon the Executive's death.
7B. Effect of New Policy Investments. The parties acknowledge and agree that the estimated amounts to be paid pursuant to the Annual Bonus Program, as set forth on Exhibit C hereto, were determined based upon an assumed rate of return on the underlying investments in respect of each New Policy (the "Assumed Rate"). Accordingly, notwithstanding paragraph 7A and Exhibit C to the contrary, (i) in the event that any New Policy experiences investment returns in excess of its Assumed Rate, any resulting decrease in the premium payments shall result in a corresponding decrease in payments by the Company under the Annual Bonus Program, and (ii) in the event that any New Policy experiences investment returns below its Assumed Rate, any resulting increase in the premium payments shall result in a corresponding increase in payments by the Company under the Annual
4
Bonus Program; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company bear responsibility for increased payments under the Annual Bonus Program to the extent such increases are a result of investment returns below the guaranteed rate in effect with respect to any New Policy or any insurance company default under any New Policy.
8. Termination. The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of the Employment Agreement for any reason or the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company for any reason; provided, however, that the Company's obligation pursuant to this Amendment shall fully and immediately terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Executive's death (except to assure that the appropriate death benefits under the New Policies with respect to which a Purchase Election has not been made are paid) or (ii) the Executive's termination for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement").
9. Rights. Except as contemplated hereby, neither the Company nor the Trusts shall have the right to assign or convey any right or interest in any New Policy without the written consent of the other party. Neither the Company nor either of the Trusts shall have the right to take a loan against any New Policy without the written consent of the other party. Any and all dividends or distributions credited to any New Policy, and any and all interest and earnings in excess of expected and budgeted interest and earnings credited to any New Policy, shall be used for the exclusive purpose of reducing the Required Premium Payments and/or payments under the Annual Bonus Program for the exclusive benefit of the Company.
10. Integration. This Amendment shall be deemed for all purposes as an amendment to the Employment Agreement, and any all interpretations of any provision of this Amendment shall be construed in accordance with, and any and all disputes arising hereunder shall be resolved in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Employment Agreement.
11. Final Split-Dollar Regulations. In the event that final United States Treasury regulations relating to split-dollar life insurance arrangements are published in the Federal Register prior to the Implementation Date, then, within 30 days of the date that such final regulations are published in the Federal Register, the Trusts (acting jointly) may terminate this Amendment and the Split Dollar Agreements by written notice to the Company. In the event of any such termination, the provisions of this Amendment shall thereafter be null and void, and the parties agree to use reasonable efforts to implement a lawful substitute for the arrangement provided for in this Amendment, which is fair and equitable to each of the parties and which provides a life insurance benefit substantially equivalent to the Insurance Entitlement.
12. Unlawfulness; Miscellaneous.
