FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The forward-looking statements contained herein 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 are based on various facts 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:
  —  the high level of competition in the vehicle rental industry;
 
  —  an increase in the cost of new vehicles;
 
  —  a decrease in our ability to acquire or dispose of cars through repurchase programs;
 
  —  a decline in the results of operations or financial condition of the manufacturers of our cars;
 
  —  a downturn in airline passenger traffic in the United States or in the other international locations in which we operate;
 
  —  an occurrence or threat of terrorism, pandemic disease, natural disasters or military conflict in the markets in which we operate;
 
  —  our dependence on third-party distribution channels;
 
  —  a disruption in rental activity during our peak season in key market segments;
 
  —  a disruption in our ability to obtain financing for our operations, including the funding of our vehicle fleet via the asset-backed securities and lending market;
 
  —  a significant increase in interest rates or in borrowing costs;
 
  —  a substantial increase in fuel costs;
 
  —  a major disruption in our communication or centralized information networks;
 
  —  our failure or inability to comply with regulations and any changes in regulations;
 
  —  our failure or inability to make the changes necessary to operate effectively following completion of the Separation Plan (defined below); and
 
  —  other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, geopolitical and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing or services.
In addition, you should understand that the following important factors and assumptions could affect the timing of the final completion of our plan to separate into four independent entities, including the anticipated sale of Travelport (the “Separation Plan”), and such factors and assumptions relating to the Separation Plan could affect our future results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements:
  —  risks inherent in the separation and related transactions, including risks related to new borrowings, and costs of the proposed transactions related to the Separation Plan (specifically the anticipated sale of Travelport);
 
  —  changes in business, political and economic conditions in the U.S. and in other countries in which Cendant and its companies currently do business;
 
  —  changes in Cendant’s overall operating performance and changes in the operating performance of Avis Budget Group or Travelport;
 
  —  access to financing sources and changes in credit ratings, including those that have resulted and may result from the Separation Plan;

Table of Contents

  —  the terms of agreements among the separated companies, including the allocations of assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities and guarantees, commercial arrangements and the performance of each of the separating companies’ obligations under these agreements;
 
  —  increased demands on Cendant’s management team in connection with the execution and performance of the proposed transactions, in addition to their regular day-to-day management responsibilities; and
 
  —  the ability of Cendant to complete a sale of Travelport, which is subject to certain conditions precedent.
Other factors and assumptions not identified above, including those described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A below, 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, as well as those set forth under “Risk Factors” 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 any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law.

PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1.  Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
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, 2006, the related consolidated condensed statement of stockholders’ equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the related consolidated condensed statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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 interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated condensed interim financial statements, as of January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the provisions for accounting for real estate time-sharing transactions.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended prior to presenting Travel Network Group as a discontinued operation (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion (which included an explanatory paragraph relating to the adoption of the consolidation provisions for variable interest entities during 2003, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, and an explanatory paragraph with respect to the change in presentation in 2005 of the consolidated statement of cash flows to present separate disclosure of cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities of discontinued operations and the retroactive revision of the statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, for the change, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements) on those consolidated financial statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 2 of the consolidated condensed interim financial statements that were applied to recast the December 31, 2005 balance sheet of the Company. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Cendant Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions, except per share amounts)
1. Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
  As of June 30, 2006, Cendant Corporation was a global provider of real estate and travel services. Upon completion of the distributions of shares of Realogy Corporation (“Realogy”) and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (“Wyndham”) to the Company’s stockholders on July 31, 2006, which are further described below, and the anticipated sale of Travelport, Inc. in August 2006, the Company’s continuing operations will consist of Avis Budget Group, which provides car and truck rentals and ancillary services to businesses and consumers in the United States and internationally.
 
  The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of Cendant Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Cendant”), as well as entities in which Cendant directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest (collectively, the “Company”).
 
  As of June 30, 2006, the Company operated in the following business segments:
  —  Realogy (formerly known as the Real Estate Services segment)—Franchises the real estate brokerage businesses of Realogy’s four residential brands and one commercial brand, provides real estate brokerage services, facilitates employee relocations and provides home buyers with title and closing services (this business was spun-off on July 31, 2006—see below for further information).
 
  —  Hospitality Services—Franchises ten lodging brands, facilitates the exchange of vacation ownership intervals and markets vacation rental properties (this business was spun-off on July 31, 2006—see below for further information).
 
  —  Timeshare Resorts—Markets and sells vacation ownership interests, or VOIs, to individual consumers, provides consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs and provides property management services at resorts (this business was spun-off on July 31, 2006—see below for further information).
 
  —  Avis Budget Group (formerly known as the Vehicle Rental segment)—Operates and franchises our car and truck rental brands.
 
  —  Mortgage Services—provided home buyers with mortgage lending services through January 31, 2005 (see Note 17—Spin-off of PHH Corporation).
  In presenting the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgments and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. The Company made a reclassification to reflect an immaterial correction to prior year vehicle-related revenues and operating expenses to conform to the current year gross reporting presentation for vehicle licensing and airport concession fees, which resulted in additional vehicle-related revenues and operating expenses of $88 million and $165 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Such amounts had been previously presented on a net basis. This correction had no effect on previously reported pretax income. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company has separately disclosed the operating, investing and financing portions of cash flows attributable to its discontinued operations (as described in more detail below), which in prior periods were reported on a combined basis as a single amount. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2006.
 
  Discontinued Operations. In January 2005, the Company completed the spin-off of its former mortgage, fleet leasing and appraisal businesses in a tax-free distribution of the common stock of PHH Corporation (“PHH”) to the Company’s stockholders. In February 2005, the Company completed an initial public offering of Wright Express Corporation, its former fuel card subsidiary, and in October 2005, the Company sold its former Marketing Services division, which was comprised of its individual membership and loyalty/insurance marketing businesses. Also, in June 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell Travelport, the companies that comprise the Company’s travel distribution services businesses, for approximately $4.3 billion. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1.0 billion in second quarter 2006 to reflect the difference between Travelport’s carrying value and its estimated fair value, less costs to dispose. There was no tax benefit recorded in connection

  with this charge. The Company also expects that in third quarter 2006, it will incur an additional loss on the sale of Travelport in connection with certain transaction-specific costs the Company may not recognize until the sale is consummated. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the account balances and activities of Wright Express, the former fleet leasing and appraisal businesses, the former Marketing Services division and Travelport have been segregated and reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Company’s former mortgage business has not been classified as a discontinued operation due to Realogy’s participation in a mortgage origination venture that was established with PHH in connection with the spin-off (see Note 17—Spin-off of PHH Corporation for more information on the venture). Summarized financial data for the aforementioned businesses are provided in Note 2—Discontinued Operations.
 
  Management Programs. The Company presents separately the financial data of its management programs. These programs are distinct from the Company’s other activities since the assets are generally funded through the issuance of debt that is collateralized by such assets. Specifically, in the Company’s vehicle rental, relocation, and vacation ownership and rental businesses, assets under management programs are funded through borrowings under asset-linked funding or other similar arrangements. Additionally, through January 31, 2005, in the Company’s former mortgage services business, assets under management programs were funded through borrowings under asset-linked funding arrangements or unsecured borrowings at its former PHH subsidiary. The income generated by these assets is used, in part, to repay the principal and interest associated with the debt. 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 the Company’s management programs. The Company believes it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of its management programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.
Separation Plan
  In October 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors preliminarily approved a plan to separate Cendant into four independent, publicly traded companies:
  —  Realogy Corporation—encompasses the Company’s Realogy segment.
 
  —  Wyndham Worldwide Corporation—encompasses the Company’s Hospitality Services and Timeshare Resorts segments.
 
  —  Travelport, Inc.—will encompass the Company’s current Travel Distribution Services segment, which is now presented as a discontinued operation.
 
  —  Avis Budget Group, Inc.—will encompass the Company’s current Avis Budget Group segment.
  On April 24, 2006, the Company announced that in addition to continuing to pursue its original plan to distribute all of the shares of common stock of Travelport to its stockholders, the Company would also explore opportunities for the sale of such business. On June 30, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell Travelport, as discussed above, and on July 31, 2006 distributed all of the shares of common stock of Realogy and Wyndham to the Company’s stockholders (see Note 18—Subsequent Events for further information on the separation plan). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred costs of $49 million and $85 million, respectively, in connection with executing this plan, consisting primarily of legal, accounting, other professional and consulting fees and various employee costs.
 
  In connection with its execution of the separation plan, the Company has also repaid certain of its debt and revolving credit facilities and consummated new financing arrangements (see Note 11—Long-Term Debt and Borrowing Arrangements and Note 18—Subsequent Events for further information).
Changes in Accounting Policies during 2006
  Timeshare Transactions. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions,” in connection with the previous issuance of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position No. 04-2, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions” (“SOP 04-2”). SFAS No. 152 provides guidance on revenue recognition for timeshare transactions, accounting and presentation for the uncollectibility of timeshare contract receivables, accounting for costs of sales of vacation ownership interests and related costs, accounting for operations during holding periods, and other transactions associated with timeshare operations.
 
  The Company’s revenue recognition policy for timeshare transactions has historically mandated a 10% minimum down payment (initial investment) as a prerequisite to recognizing revenue on the sale of a vacation ownership interest. SFAS No. 152 requires that the Company consider the fair value of certain incentives provided to the buyer

9


Table of Contents

  when assessing whether such threshold has been achieved. If the buyer’s investment has not met the minimum investment criteria of SFAS No. 152, the revenue associated with the sale of the vacation ownership interest and the related cost of sales and direct costs are deferred until the buyer’s commitment satisfies the requirements of SFAS No. 152. In addition, certain costs previously included in the Company’s percentage-of-completion calculation prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 152 are now expensed as incurred rather than deferred until the corresponding revenue is recognized.
 
  SFAS No. 152 requires the Company to record the estimate of uncollectible timeshare contract receivables at the time a timeshare transaction is consummated as a reduction of net revenue. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 152, the Company recorded such provisions within operating expense on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.
 
  SFAS No. 152 also requires that revenue in excess of costs associated with the rental of unsold units be accounted for as a reduction to the carrying value of timeshare inventory (which reduces the cost of such inventory when it is sold), and that costs in excess of revenues associated with the rental of unsold units be charged to expense as incurred. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 152, rental revenues and expenses were separately recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.
 
  The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 152 effective January 1, 2006, as required, and recorded an after tax charge of $65 million ($0.06 per diluted share) during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which consists of a pre-tax charge of $105 million representing the deferral of revenue and costs associated with sales of vacation ownership interests that were recognized prior to January 1, 2006, the recognition of certain expenses that were previously deferred and an associated tax benefit of $40 million. There was no impact to cash flows from the adoption of SFAS No. 152.
 
  Stock-Based Compensation. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) and the prospective transition method of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” Accordingly, the Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense for all employee stock awards that were granted or modified subsequent to December 31, 2002.
 
  In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) which eliminates the alternative to measure stock-based compensation awards using the intrinsic value approach permitted by APB Opinion No. 25 and by SFAS No. 123. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, as required, under the modified prospective application method. Because the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for all outstanding employee stock awards prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the adoption of such standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. However, the Company recorded an after tax credit of $1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, which represents the Company’s estimate of total future forfeitures of stock-based awards outstanding as of January 1, 2006 (see Note 15—Stock-Based Compensation for further information).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
  In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 provides measurement and recognition guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 also requires increased disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. The Company will adopt the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact of such adoption on its financial statements.

Also does not reflect (i) 49 million and 38 million outstanding common stock options that were antidilutive during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, (ii) 84 million and 24 million outstanding common stock options that were antidilutive during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively and (iii) 2 million outstanding warrants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 that were antidilutive. The increase in the number of antidilutive options for the three months ended June 30, 2006 represents approximately 11 million options that became “out-of-the-money” as a result of a decrease in the average stock price between the three months ended June 30, 2006 ($16.64) and the three months ended June 30, 2005 ($20.96). The increase in the number of antidilutive options for the six months ended June 30, 2006 represents approximately 60 million options that became “out-of-the-money” as a result of a decrease in the average stock price between the six months ended June 30, 2006 ($16.65) and the six months ended June 30, 2005 ($21.32). The weighted average exercise price for antidilutive options for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $18.22 and $25.85, respectively. The weighted average exercise price for antidilutive options for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $21.49 and $28.50, respectively. The weighted average exercise price for antidilutive warrants at June 30, 2006 was $21.31.
4. Acquisitions
  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations were recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such dates. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income since their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. In certain circumstances, the allocations of the excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations may be subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analyses. Any revisions to the fair values, which may be significant, will be recorded by the Company as further adjustments to the purchase price allocations. The Company is also in the process of integrating the operations of its acquired businesses and expects to incur costs relating to such integrations. These costs may result from integrating operating systems, relocating employees, closing facilities, reducing duplicative efforts and exiting and consolidating other activities. These costs will be recorded as adjustments to the purchase price or as expenses, as appropriate.

On January 6, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of multiple title companies in Texas in a single transaction for total consideration of $109 million, which includes $32 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $60 million, plus a $10 million note (subject to potential downward adjustment) payable within two years of the closing date, and $7 million of assumed liabilities. These entities provide title and closing services, including title searches, title insurance, home sale escrow and other closing services. This acquisition resulted in goodwill (based on the preliminary purchase price) of $30 million, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Such goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Realogy segment. This acquisition also resulted in $40 million of other intangible assets. This acquisition expanded the Company’s agency business into Texas and added a wholly-owned underwriter of title insurance to the title and settlement services portfolio.
 
  Other. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company acquired eleven real estate brokerage operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NRT Incorporated (“NRT”), for $71 million in cash, in the aggregate, which resulted in goodwill (based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price) of $69 million that was assigned to the Company’s Realogy segment, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. These acquisitions also resulted in $4 million of other intangible assets.
 
  In addition, the Company acquired fourteen other individually non-significant businesses within several of its reportable segments during the six months ended June 30, 2006 for aggregate consideration of $79 million in cash,

  which resulted in goodwill (based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price) of $2 million, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Realogy segment. These acquisitions also resulted in $75 million of other intangible assets.
 
  These acquisitions were not significant to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Acquisition and Integration Related Costs
  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred acquisition and integration related costs of $3 million and $11 million, respectively, of which $2 million and $9 million, respectively, represented amortization of its contractual pendings and listings intangible assets, which were acquired primarily in connection with the acquisitions of real estate brokerages by NRT. The Company segregated the pendings and listings amortization to enhance the comparability of its results of operations since these intangible assets are amortized over a short period of time (generally four to five months). The remaining costs of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, reflect the integration of the real estate brokerages acquired by NRT.
 
  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company incurred acquisition and integration related costs of $4 million and $8 million, respectively, of which $3 million and $6 million, respectively, represented amortization of its contractual pendings and listings intangible assets, all of which were acquired in connection with the acquisitions of real estate brokerages by NRT. The remaining costs of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, reflect the integration of the real estate brokerages acquired by NRT.

8. Income Taxes
  The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is 39.0%. Such rate differs from the Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state and local income taxes.
 
  The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 is 40.9%. Such rate differs from the Federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the non-deductibility of the $180 million valuation charge associated with the PHH spin-off and state and local income taxes, partially offset by a tax benefit of $55 million related to asset basis differences.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
  The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is currently examining the Company’s taxable years 1998 through 2002. Over the course of this audit, the Company has responded to various requests for information, primarily focused on the 1999 statutory merger of the Company’s former fleet business; the calculation of the stock basis in the 1999 sale of a subsidiary; and the deductibility of expenses associated with the shareholder class action litigation. To date, the Company has not agreed to any IRS proposed adjustments related to such period. Although the Company believes it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns, the Company has recorded a liability for its best estimate of the probable loss on certain of these positions. The Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years, based on its assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. Although the Company believes its recorded assets and liabilities are reasonable, tax regulations are subject to interpretation and tax litigation is inherently uncertain; therefore, the Company’s assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions supporting its assessments are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than that which is reflected in historical income tax provisions and recorded assets and liabilities. Based on the results of an audit or litigation, a material effect on our income tax provision, net income, or cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made could result.
 
  The Company is involved in litigation asserting claims associated with accounting irregularities discovered in 1998 at former CUC business units outside of the principal common stockholder class action litigation. While the Company has an accrued liability of approximately $70 million recorded on its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006 for these claims based upon its best estimates, it does not believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the final outcome or resolution of any unresolved proceedings. The Company does not believe that the impact of any unresolved proceedings should result in a material liability to the Company in relation to its consolidated financial position or liquidity as Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide, at the time of separation, each have agreed to assume responsibility for these liabilities as well as other liabilities related to the Company’s litigation that is not related to its vehicle rental operations (see Note 18—Subsequent Events). Additionally, in the event that Travelport is distributed to Cendant’s stockholders and not sold, it will assume a portion of the responsibility for these litigation matters (which would reduce the respective portions assumed by Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide). Such litigation being assumed by Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide includes litigation retained by the Company in connection with the sale of its former Marketing Services division, two patent infringement cases and a dispute regarding expenses related to a settled breach of contract claim.

  In addition, pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement (See Note 18—Subsequent Events), Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport have agreed to assume and retain all of the liabilities primarily related to each of their respective businesses and operations, including litigation primarily related to each of their businesses where Cendant is a named party, including a regulatory proceeding and a class action lawsuit related to a Realogy joint venture.
 
  In addition to the matters discussed above, the Company is also involved in claims, legal proceedings and governmental inquiries related to its vehicle rental operations, including contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property, environmental issues and other commercial, employment and tax matters, including breach of contract claims by licensees. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for such matters as appropriate or, for matters not requiring accrual, believes that they will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows based on information currently available. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although the Company believes that its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable resolutions could occur, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular reporting period.

16. Segment Information
  The reportable segments presented below represent the Company’s operating segments for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of services provided by its operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of its 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. The Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

  (a)  Includes unallocated corporate overhead, the elimination of transactions between segments and the results of operations of certain non- strategic businesses. Additionally, the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes a gain of $18 million on the sale of Homestore, Inc. common stock.
  (b)  The Company’s former mortgage business was disposed in connection with the spin-off of PHH in January 2005. EBITDA in the six months ended June 30, 2005 includes a $180 million non-cash valuation charge associated with the PHH spin-off.
  (c)  The 2005 amount includes the reversal of $73 million of accrued interest associated with the resolution of amounts due under a litigation settlement reached in 1999.
17. Spin-off of PHH Corporation
  As previously discussed, on January 31, 2005, the Company completed the spin-off of its former mortgage, fleet leasing and appraisal businesses in a tax-free distribution to the Company’s stockholders of one share of PHH common stock per every twenty shares of Cendant common stock held on January 19, 2005. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, the Company was required to perform an impairment analysis upon completion of the PHH spin-off. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $488 million in first quarter 2005, to reflect the difference between PHH’s carrying value and PHH’s initial market value, as determined by the average trading price of PHH common stock on February 1, 2005. The charge was recorded as a reduction to net income with an offsetting increase to retained earnings since the impaired assets had been disposed of on January 31, 2005. Of the $488 million total charge, approximately $180 million ($0.17 per diluted share) was allocated to the mortgage business and, therefore, recorded within continuing operations. The remaining charge, approximately $308 million ($0.29 per diluted share), was allocated to the fleet leasing and appraisal businesses and, therefore, recorded within discontinued operations. There were no tax benefits recorded in connection with these charges, as such charges are not tax deductible.
 
  Similarly, the Company incurred $7 million of transaction costs during first quarter 2005 associated with the PHH spin-off, of which $3 million was allocated to continuing operations (which is recorded within the restructuring and transaction-related costs line item on the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income within the Mortgage Services segment) and $4 million was allocated to discontinued operations (which is recorded within the gain (loss) on disposal of discounted operations, net of tax line item on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income). There were no tax benefits recorded in connection with these charges, as such charges are not tax deductible.
 
  The account balances and activities of the Company’s former fleet leasing and appraisal businesses, as well as the $308 million impairment charge described above and $4 million of transaction costs also described above, have been presented within discontinued operations (see Note 2—Discontinued Operations for summary financial data for these entities). However, as discussed above, the Company’s former mortgage business has not been classified as a discontinued operation.
18. Subsequent Events
Spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham
  On July 31, 2006, the Company completed the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham in tax-free distributions of one share each of Realogy and Wyndham common stock for every four and five shares, respectively, of Cendant

Table of Contents

  Corporation common stock held on July 21, 2006. On August 1, 2006, Realogy and Wyndham stock began regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “H” and “WYN,” respectively. Prior to the completion of the spin-offs, Cendant received special cash dividends of $2,275 million and $1,360 million from Realogy and Wyndham, respectively, and utilized such proceeds to fund a portion of the repayment of its outstanding debt, as discussed below.
 
  In connection with the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which Realogy will assume 62.5% and Wyndham will assume 37.5% (or, if the sale of Travelport is not completed, Realogy will assume 50%, Wyndham will assume 30% and Travelport will assume 20%) of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company or its subsidiaries, which are not primarily related to any of the respective businesses of Realogy, Wyndham, Travelport and/or the Company’s vehicle rental operations, in each case incurred on or prior to the earlier of December 31, 2006 or the date of the separation of Travelport from the Company. Realogy will be entitled to receive 62.5% and Wyndham will be entitled to receive 37.5% (or, if the sale of Travelport is not completed, Realogy will be entitled to receive 50%, Wyndham will be entitled to receive 30% and Travelport will be entitled to receive 20%) of the proceeds (or, in certain cases, a portion thereof) from certain contingent corporate assets of Cendant, which are not primarily related to any of the respective businesses of Realogy, Wyndham, Travelport and/or the Company’s vehicle rental operations, arising or accrued on or prior to the earlier of December 31, 2006 or the date of the separation of Travelport from the Company. Additionally, if Realogy or Wyndham (and Travelport, if Travelport is spun-off) were to default on its payment of costs or expenses to the Company related to any such liability, the Company would be responsible for a portion of the defaulting party’s obligation. Realogy and Wyndham have also agreed to guarantee each other’s as well as the Company’s obligation under each entity’s deferred compensation plans for amounts deferred in respect of 2005 and earlier years.
 
  Prior to the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport to provide for an orderly transition following the sale of Travelport and the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham. Under the Transition Services Agreement, the Company will provide Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport with various services, including services relating to human resources and employee benefits, payroll, financial systems management, treasury and cash management, accounts payable services, telecommunications services and information technology services.
Stock-based awards
  In connection with the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, on August 1, 2006, approximately 10 million RSUs outstanding at June 30, 2006 were cancelled. Each of the remaining 11 million RSUs converted into 1 Cendant RSU, one-fourth of a Realogy RSU and one-fifth of a Wyndham RSU in order to maintain the value of each employees grant immediately prior to the spin-offs. The Company will record pre-tax stock-based compensation expense of approximately $30 million in third quarter 2006 in connection with the accelerated vesting of these RSUs, which is expected to occur in August 2006.
 
  Also in connection with the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, on August 1, 2006, outstanding stock options previously granted to the Company’s employees were converted into stock options of Cendant, Realogy and Wyndham in the same ratio described above.
 
  On August 1, 2006, following the completion of the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, the Company granted (i) approximately 18 million RSUs with aggregate value of $45 million and a four year vesting period and (ii) approximately 5 million stock-settled stock appreciation rights.
Repayment of Corporate Debt
  In connection with the execution of its separation plan, during July 2006, the Company completed a tender offer for $2.6 billion of its corporate debt by repurchasing approximately $2.5 billion aggregate principal amount of its 61/4% notes due in January 2008 and March 2010, 73/8% notes due in January 2013 and 71/8% notes due in March 2015 for cash of approximately $2.9 billion, including accrued interest. In connection with such repurchase, the Company will record a pre-tax charge of approximately $300 million during third quarter 2006. During July 2006, the Company also paid the $950 million due in August 2006 under its 67/8 % and 4.89% notes.

Termination of $2.0 Billion Revolving Credit Facility and Asset-Linked Facility
  As a result of the execution of the separation plan, the Company repaid outstanding borrowings of $560 million (including $265 million which was recorded within discontinued operations) and $600 million under its $2.0 billion revolving credit facility and asset-linked facility, respectively, and terminated these facilities during July 2006.
Travelport Interim Financing
  On July 18, 2006, the Company, through its Travelport subsidiary, entered into a $2.2 billion interim credit agreement. On July 27, 2006, Travelport borrowed approximately $1.9 billion under this credit facility, which was used by the Company to fund a portion of the repayment of its outstanding corporate debt, the funding of certain expenses in connection with the separation plan and certain other legacy liabilities and to repay outstanding Travelport borrowings under the Company’s $2.0 billion revolving credit facility. The Company must repay these borrowings and will terminate this facility concurrent with the sale of Travelport.
Wyndham Financing
  On July 7, 2006, Wyndham entered into (i) a $1,200 million credit facility consisting of a $900 million revolving credit facility and a $300 million term loan facility and (ii) an $800 million interim loan facility. Also, on July 11, 2006, Wyndham issued $550 million aggregate principal amount of timeshare loan-backed notes. The Company does not have any obligations related to these facilities, nor does the Company have access to these facilities, as they were entered into by Wyndham, which was spun-off on July 31, 2006.

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 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2006. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions.
Upon completion of the spin-offs of Realogy Corporation and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation on July 31, 2006 and the anticipated sale of Travelport, Inc. in August 2006, our continuing operations will consist of our Avis Budget Group, which provides car and truck rentals and ancillary services to businesses and consumers in the United States and internationally.
Following is a brief description of the services provided by each of our business segments:
  —  Realogy (formerly known as the Real Estate Services segment)— Through July 31, 2006, franchised the real estate brokerage businesses of our four residential brands and one commercial brand, provided real estate brokerage services, facilitated employee relocations and provided home buyers with title and closing services (this business was spun-off on July 31, 2006— see below for further information).
 
  —  Hospitality Services— Through July 31, 2006, franchised ten lodging brands, facilitated the exchange of vacation ownership intervals and marketed vacation rental properties (this business was spun-off of on July 31, 2006— see below for further information).
 
  —  Timeshare Resorts— Through July 31, 2006, marketed and sold vacation ownership interests, or VOIs, to individual consumers, provided consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs and provided property management services at resorts (this business was spun-off of on July 31, 2006— see below for further information).
 
  —  Avis Budget Group (formerly known as the Vehicle Rental segment)— operates and franchises our car and truck rental brands.
 
  —  Mortgage Services— provided home buyers with mortgage lending services (this business was disposed of in January 2005).
In October 2005, our Board of Directors preliminarily approved a plan to separate Cendant into four independent, publicly-traded companies:
  —  Realogy Corporation— encompasses our former Realogy segment.
 
  —  Wyndham Worldwide Corporation— encompasses our former Hospitality Services and Timeshare Resorts segments.
 
  —  Travelport, Inc.— will encompass our current Travel Distribution Services segment.
 
  —  Avis Budget Group, Inc.— will encompass our current Avis Budget Group segment.
On July 31, 2006, we completed the spin-offs of Realogy Corporation and Wyndham Worldwide Corporation in tax-free distributions of one share each of Realogy and Wyndham common stock for every four and five shares, respectively, of Cendant Corporation common stock held on July 21, 2006. On April 24, 2006, we announced that in addition to continuing to pursue our original plan to spin-off Travelport to our stockholders, we would also evaluate opportunities for the sale of such business. On June 30, 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Travelport for approximately $4.3 billion (subject to adjustment). Closing of the sale of Travelport is expected in August 2006 and is subject to certain conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we incurred costs of $49 million and $85 million, respectively, in connection with executing our plan, consisting primarily of legal, accounting, other professional and consulting fees and various employee costs.
Also, in connection with our execution of the separation plan, we have repaid certain corporate and other debt and have entered into new financing arrangements, including (i) the completion of $1,875 million of fixed and floating rate financing by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, the parent company of our vehicle rental subsidiaries, (ii) the establishment of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, (iii) the completion of a tender offer for $2.6 billion of our corporate debt by repurchasing approximately $2.5 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of our 61/4% notes due in January 2008 and March 2010, 73/8% notes due in January 2013 and 71/8% notes due in March 2015 and (iv) the discharge of our obligations with respect to aggregate principal of $950 million due in August 2006 under our 67/8 % and 4.89% notes. As a result of the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham, we repaid outstanding borrowings of $560 million (including $265 million which was recorded within discontinued operations) and $600 million under our $2.0 billion revolving credit facility and our asset-linked facility, respectively, and terminated these facilities during July 2006.
We have submitted several proposals to be voted upon at our annual stockholders meeting scheduled for August 29, 2006, including one to change Cendant's name to Avis Budget Group, Inc. and another to authorize a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of Cendant's common stock. If approved, these proposals are expected to become effective on September 5, 2006 and at such time we expect that our New York Stock Exchange ticker symbol will be changed to "CAR".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Discussed below are our consolidated results of operations and the results of operations for each of our reportable segments. Generally accepted accounting principles require us to segregate and report as discontinued operations, for all periods presented, the account balances and activities of our former fleet leasing and appraisal businesses, Wright Express, our former Marketing Services division and Travelport. Although we no longer own our former mortgage business, we cannot classify such business as a discontinued operation due to Realogy’s participation in a mortgage origination venture that was established with PHH in connection with our January 2005 spin-off of PHH.
The reportable segments presented below represent our operating segments for which separate financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying our reportable segments, we also consider the nature of services provided by our operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon revenue and ”EBITDA,” which we define 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. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Our Avis Budget Group segment generated organic revenue growth in second quarter 2006 reflecting strong demand at both our domestic and international operations. We experienced greater car rental time and mileage (“T&M”) revenue principally as a result of a 9% increase in T&M revenue per day and a 3% increase in rental days. Revenues at our Timeshare Resorts segment also grew quarter-over-quarter principally due to a 9% increase in tour flow, an 11% increase in revenue per guest and increased consumer finance income, partially offset by the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.” See Note 1 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information on this accounting standard.
These revenue increases were partially offset by an organic decrease in revenues at our Realogy segment, reflecting a 16% decrease in the number of homesale transactions from our third party franchisees and a 17% decrease in the number of homesale transactions from our real estate brokerage business. Expenses also increased as a result of organic revenue

growth (which added additional volume related expenses), higher vehicle and interest costs within Avis Budget Group, additional marketing investments, and an accrual related to local taxes payable in certain international jurisdictions related to our European vacation rental operations, which is recorded within general and administrative expenses.
The quarter-over-quarter increase in expenses also includes (i) $49 million of expenses we incurred in second quarter 2006 resulting from the execution of our separation plan and (ii) a $44 million increase in interest expense primarily resulting from $1,875 million of borrowings by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC in second quarter 2006. These borrowings were used to reduce our vehicle-related debt, which reduced vehicle-related interest expense.
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 37.2% for both second quarter 2006 and 2005. As a result of the above-mentioned items, income from continuing operations decreased $142 million (45%).
Income from discontinued operations decreased $14 million, which reflects a $23 million reduction in net income generated by Travelport, partially offset by the absence in 2006 of a net loss of $9 million by our former Marketing Services division, which was disposed in October 2005.
During 2006, we recognized a net loss on the disposal of discontinued operations of approximately $1.0 billion, substantially all of which represents a non-cash impairment charge to reflect the difference between Travelport’s carrying value and its estimated fair value, less costs to dispose.
As a result of the above-mentioned items, net income decreased approximately $1.1 billion.

Realogy (formerly, Real Estate Services)
Revenues and EBITDA decreased $140 million (7%) and $87 million (22%), respectively, during second quarter 2006 as compared with second quarter 2005, principally reflecting reduced homesale volumes, partially offset by growth in the average prices of homes sold and the impact of acquisitions consummated during or subsequent to second quarter 2005.
Royalty revenue within our real estate franchise business decreased $13 million (9%) in second quarter 2006 as compared with second quarter 2005. Such decrease was primarily driven by a 16% decrease in the number of homesale transactions from our third-party franchisees and a decrease in the average brokerage commission rate earned by our franchises from 2.52% in second quarter 2005 to 2.47% in second quarter 2006. These decreases were partially offset by a 5% increase in the average price of homes sold. In addition to royalties received from our third-party franchisees, our NRT brokerage subsidiary continues to pay royalties to our real estate franchise business. However, these intercompany royalties, which approximated $96 million and $106 million during second quarter 2006 and 2005, respectively, are eliminated in consolidation and therefore have no impact on this segment’s revenues or EBITDA.
Revenue within our real estate brokerage business decreased $154 million (9%) in second quarter 2006 as compared with second quarter 2005. This decrease is due to a reduction in commission revenue earned in 2006, partially offset by incremental revenues generated by acquisitions made by NRT during or subsequent to second quarter 2005, which together contributed incremental revenues and EBITDA of $76 million and $11 million, respectively, to 2006 operating results.

27


Table of Contents

Apart from these acquisitions, NRT’s revenue decreased $230 million (14%) in second quarter 2006 as compared with second quarter 2005. This decrease was substantially comprised of reduced commission income earned on homesale transactions, which was primarily driven by a 17% decline in the number of homesale transactions, partially offset by a 5% increase in the average price of homes sold. We believe that the 17% decline in homesale transactions is reflective of industry trends in the premium coastal areas we serve, particularly Florida, California and New England. EBITDA further reflects a decrease of $157 million in commission expenses paid to real estate agents principally as a result of the reduction in revenues earned on homesale transactions.
NRT has a significant concentration of real estate brokerage offices and transactions in geographic regions where home prices are at the higher end of the U.S. real estate market, particularly the east and west coasts. The real estate franchise business has franchised offices that are more widely dispersed across the United States than our NRT real estate brokerage operations. Accordingly, operating results and homesale statistics may differ between NRT and the real estate franchise business based upon geographic presence and the corresponding homesale activity in each geographic region.
Revenue within our relocation services business decreased $4 million (3%) during second quarter 2006 as compared with second quarter 2005, primarily reflecting a $9 million decrease in domestic revenue due to lower average fees and volume, as well as lower relocation referral volume. These decreases were partially offset by $5 million of incremental management fees and commissions earned in our international services due to increased international transaction volume.
Revenues from our title and settlement services business increased $21 million (22%) during second quarter 2006 as compared with second quarter 2005 primarily due to the acquisition of multiple title and underwriting companies in Texas in a single transaction in January 2006, which contributed $35 million of revenue and $4 million of EBITDA to our second quarter 2006 operating results. These entities provide title and closing services, including title searches, title insurance, homesale escrow and other closing services. This increase was partially offset by a $17 million decline in title and closing revenues principally from reduced resale and refinancing volume consistent with the decline in overall homesale transactions noted in the other real estate services businesses.
Apart from NRT’s significant acquisitions and real estate agent commission expense as well as the acquisition of the title and underwriting companies in Texas (each of which is discussed separately above), operating, marketing and administrative expenses remained relatively constant quarter-over-quarter. Cost savings within our real estate brokerage business, primarily relating to reduced incentive compensation as a result of reduced profitability and marketing campaigns, were offset by restructuring and separation costs and inflationary and other office-related cost increases within our real estate brokerage business.
Hospitality Services
Revenues increased $54 million (15%), while EBITDA decreased $23 million (23%), in second quarter 2006 as compared with second quarter 2005. The revenue increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand and increases in the key revenue drivers across all our Hospitality Services businesses, reflecting positive industry-wide dynamics. However, the quarter-over-quarter EBITDA comparison was negatively impacted by a tax accrual (recorded within general and administrative expenses) related to our European vacation rental activities, which is discussed in greater detail below.
The operating results of our lodging business reflect the acquisition of the management and franchise business of the Wyndham Hotel chain in October 2005, which contributed incremental revenue of $35 million and an EBITDA loss of $2 million to second quarter 2006 results. Included within the $35 million of revenue generated by Wyndham is approximately $28 million related to reimbursable expenses, which has no impact on EBITDA. Apart from this acquisition, revenues in our lodging business increased $13 million quarter-over-quarter primarily due to an $8 million (8%) increase in royalty, marketing and reservation fund revenues and a $4 million increase in revenues generated by our TripRewards loyalty program in second quarter 2006. The $8 million increase in royalty, marketing and reservation fund revenues was primarily due to a 10% increase in revenue per available room (“RevPAR”). The RevPAR increase reflects (i) increases in both price and occupancy principally attributable to an overall improvement in the economy lodging segment in which our hotel brands primarily operate, (ii) the termination of underperforming properties throughout 2005 that did not meet our required quality standards or their financial obligations to us and (iii) the strategic assignment of personnel to field locations designed to assist franchisees in improving their hotel operating performance.
Revenues from our vacation exchange and rental activities increased $7 million (3%) in second quarter 2006. This increase primarily resulted from a $5 million (6%) increase in revenue generated from our European vacation rental activities due to a 4% increase in cottage weeks sold quarter-over-quarter. In addition, revenues from business activities within our legacy RCI brand increased $2 million (1%) in second quarter 2006 due to a $4 million (12%) increase in other timeshare points and rental transaction revenues, partially offset by a $2 million (8%) decrease in other transactional revenues. The increase in other timeshare points and rental transaction revenues during second quarter 2006 was principally driven by an 8% increase in the average price per rental transaction and a 3% increase in points and rental transaction volume.

28


Table of Contents

Exchange and subscription fee revenues were relatively constant quarter-over-quarter, reflecting a 4% increase in the average number of worldwide subscribers, partially offset by a 3% decrease in exchange transaction volumes. Revenue trends reflect the continued shift in the RCI timeshare membership base toward a greater mix of points members from traditional one-week timeshare members.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately $40 million (15%) in operating, marketing and administrative expenses (excluding the impact of the acquisition discussed above) principally resulting from (i) a $25 million charge in second quarter 2006 related to local taxes payable in certain international jurisdictions, (ii) a $7 million increase in marketing, consulting and infrastructure costs incurred to support growth within our vacation exchange and rental activities, (iii) $4 million of increased campsite expenses from our vacation rental activities and (iv) a $3 million increase in expenses used to fund marketing-related initiatives for our TripRewards loyalty program. These increases were partially offset by a $6 million reduction in incentive-based compensation expense in second quarter 2006.
Timeshare Resorts
Revenues and EBITDA increased $43 million (10%) and $11 million (15%), respectively, in second quarter 2006 as compared with second quarter 2005. The operating results reflect organic growth in vacation ownership sales and consumer finance income as well as the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 152. Exclusive of the estimated impact of SFAS No. 152 on our second quarter 2006 results, revenues and EBITDA increased $89 million (20%) and $13 million (17%), respectively.
Exclusive of the estimated impact of this accounting change, net sales of vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) at our vacation ownership business increased by an estimated $81 million (24%) in second quarter 2006 principally driven by an 11% increase in revenue per guest and a 9% increase in tour flow. Revenue per guest benefited from higher pricing and tour flow was positively impacted by the continued development of the Company’s in-house sales programs.
Revenues and EBITDA increased $16 million and $13 million, respectively, in second quarter 2006 due to incremental net interest income earned on contract receivables primarily due to growth in the portfolio. Revenue and EBITDA comparisons were negatively impacted by $11 million of income recorded in second quarter 2005 in connection with the disposal of a parcel of land that was no longer consistent with our development plans.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately $73 million (21%) in operating, marketing and administrative expenses primarily resulting from (i) $23 million of increased cost of sales primarily associated with increased VOI sales, (ii) $21 million of additional commission expense associated with increased VOI sales, (iii) $12 million of incremental marketing expenses to support sales efforts, (iv) $5 million of incremental costs primarily incurred to fund additional staffing needs to support continued growth in the business and (v) $4 million of increased costs associated with the remediation of one of our completed VOI resorts.
Avis Budget Group (formerly, Vehicle Rental)
Revenues increased $127 million (10%), while EBITDA decreased $17 million (13%) in second quarter 2006 as compared with second quarter 2005. We experienced increased demand for vehicle rentals throughout the quarter and achieved higher car rental pricing in the United States and internationally, but EBITDA margin comparisons were negatively impacted by higher fleet and interest costs.
Revenues generated by our domestic car rental operations increased $115 million (11%) during 2006, which was comprised of an $89 million (11%) increase in T&M revenue and a $26 million (14%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenues was principally driven by a 10% increase in T&M revenue per day and a 1% increase in the number of days a car was rented. We expect to realize continuing year-over-year price increases for the remainder of 2006 as we seek to offset the impact of higher fleet costs and interest rates, which we began to experience in the second half of 2005. Fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges increased $48 million (15%) in 2006 primarily due to an increase of 2% in the average size of our domestic rental fleet and increased per-unit fleet costs for model-year 2006 vehicles as compared to model-year 2005 vehicles. However, Avis Budget Car Rental issued $1,875 million of non-vehicle-backed debt in April 2006 and used the proceeds to reduce our vehicle-related borrowings, which reduced vehicle-related interest expense, and benefited EBITDA, by approximately $20 million in second quarter 2006.
The $26 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $9 million increase in gasoline revenues, (ii) a $9 million increase in counter sales of insurance and other items and (iii) an $8 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues. The increases in gasoline revenues and airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues were substantially offset in EBITDA by higher gasoline costs and airport concession and vehicle licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities. EBITDA from our domestic car rental operations also reflects (i) $24 million of incremental expenses primarily representing inflationary increases in rent, salaries and wages and other fixed costs,

Table of Contents

(ii) $21 million of additional expenses primarily associated with increased car rental volume and fleet size, including vehicle maintenance and damage costs and (iii) $17 million of incremental travel agency and credit card commissions expense associated with the increased T&M revenue. These cost increases were partially offset by (i) a $6 million decrease in public liability and property damage costs as a result of more favorable claims experience and (ii) $3 million of incremental intercompany interest income which is eliminated in consolidation and has no impact on Cendant’s total revenues or EBITDA.
Revenues generated by our international car rental operations increased $29 million (19%) due to a $21 million (20%) increase in car rental T&M revenue and an $8 million (17%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenue was principally driven by a 17% increase in the number of days a car was rented and a 3% increase in T&M revenue per day. The favorable effect of incremental T&M revenue was partially offset in EBITDA by $12 million (35%) of increased fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges principally resulting from an increase of 17% in the average size of our international rental fleet and increased per-unit fleet costs. The $8 million increase in ancillary revenues was primarily due to an increase in counter sales of insurance and other items. EBITDA also reflects $18 million of higher operating expenses primarily due to increased car rental volume and other variable costs incurred to support such volume. The increases discussed above include $17 million of revenue resulting from our acquisitions of international franchisees during or subsequent to second quarter 2005. These acquisitions had no incremental impact on EBITDA in second quarter 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005.
Budget truck rental revenues decreased $17 million (12%) in 2006 due to a $17 million (14%) decrease in T&M revenue, which reflects an 11% decrease in rental days and a 4% decrease in T&M revenue per day. Despite a 6% reduction in the average size of our truck rental fleet, which resulted from our efforts to focus on newer and more efficient trucks, we incurred $6 million of incremental fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges primarily due to higher per-unit fleet costs and lower proceeds received on the disposal of older trucks.

Table of Contents

The largest contributor to organic revenue growth period-over-period was our Avis Budget Group segment, reflecting strong demand at both our domestic and international operations. We experienced greater car rental T&M revenue principally as a result of an 8% increase in the number of days a car was rented. Revenues at our Timeshare Resorts segment also grew organically principally due to an 8% increase in tour flow, a 10% increase in revenue per guest and increased consumer finance income, partially offset by the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.” These revenue increases were partially offset by an organic decrease in revenues at our Realogy segment, reflecting a 15% decrease in the number of homesale transactions from our third-party franchisees and a 16% decrease in the number of homesale transactions within our real estate brokerage business. Expenses also increased as a result of organic revenue growth discussed above (which added additional volume related expenses), inflationary and other increases in fixed costs within our real estate brokerage business, higher vehicle and interest costs within Avis Budget Group, additional marketing investments and an accrual related to local taxes payable in certain international jurisdictions related to our European vacation rental operations, which is recorded within general and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in commission expense paid to real estate agents of our real estate brokerage business and incentive-based compensation costs.
Additionally, the revenue and expense increases were partially offset by the absence of one month of revenue generated and expenses incurred by our former mortgage business, which was disposed of on January 31, 2005. Our former mortgage business contributed revenues of $46 million and expenses of $49 million, excluding a $180 million non-cash impairment charge, to our results during January 2005.
The period-over-period increase in total expenses also reflects: (i) an increase of $122 million in interest expense primarily relating to the absence in 2006 of a $73 million reversal of accrued interest during first quarter 2005 associated with the resolution of amounts due under a litigation settlement reached in 1999 and interest expense incurred on $1,875 million of borrowings by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC in second quarter 2006 and (ii) $85 million of expenses we incurred in 2006 resulting from the execution of our separation plan. Such increases were partially offset by the absence in 2006 of: (i) a $180 million non-cash impairment charge relating to the PHH spin-off and (ii) charges aggregating $40 million primarily relating to restructuring activities undertaken following the PHH spin-off and initial public offering of Wright Express.
Our effective tax rate for continuing operations was 39.0% and 40.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2006 was primarily due to: (i) the non-deductibility of the valuation charge associated with the PHH spin-off in 2005 partially offset by one time tax benefits of foreign tax structuring in 2005. As a result of the above-mentioned items, income from continuing operations decreased $103 million (29%).
Income from discontinued operations increased $25 million, which primarily reflects (i) the absence in 2006 of net losses of $4 million and $21 million incurred in 2005 related to our former fuel card business, Wright Express, and our former fleet leasing and appraisal businesses, respectively (these businesses were disposed in first quarter 2005) and (ii) an increase of $10 million in net income generated by Travelport in the six months ended June 30, 2006. These increases were partially offset by the absence of net income of $10 million generated in the six months ended June 30, 2005 by our former Marketing Services division, which was disposed in October 2005.
The net loss we recognized on the disposal of discontinued operations increased $848 million period-over-period, which reflects a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1.0 billion recognized in second quarter 2006 to reflect the difference between Travelport’s carrying value and its estimated fair value, less costs to dispose and the absence of a net loss of $133 million incurred in 2005, which includes PHH valuation and transaction-related charges of $312 million, partially offset by a $179 million gain recognized in connection with the initial public offering of Wright Express.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we also recorded non-cash charges of $103 million ($64 million, after tax) to reflect the cumulative effect of accounting changes as a result of our adoption of (i) SFAS No. 152, ”Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions,” and American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position No. 04-2, ”Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions” on January 1, 2006, which resulted in a non-cash charge of $65 million after tax, and (ii) SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” on January 1, 2006, which resulted in a non-cash credit of $1 million after tax.
As a result of the above-mentioned items, net income decreased $990 million.

Realogy (formerly, Real Estate Services)
Revenues and EBITDA decreased $123 million (4%) and $127 million (23%), respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005, principally reflecting reduced homesale volumes, partially offset by growth in the average prices of homes sold and the impact of acquisitions consummated during or subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Royalty revenue within our real estate franchise services business decreased $23 million (9%) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. Such decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a 15% decrease in the number of homesale transactions from our third-party franchisees and (ii) a decrease in the average brokerage commission rate earned by our franchises, which declined from 2.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to 2.47% for the comparable period in 2006. These decreases were partially offset by a 7% increase in the average price of homes sold. In addition to royalties received from our third-party franchisees, NRT continues to pay royalties to our real estate franchise business. However, these intercompany royalties, which approximated $169 million and $179 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are eliminated in consolidation and therefore have no impact on this segment’s revenues or EBITDA.
Revenues within our real estate brokerage business decreased $165 million (6%) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. Such decrease is primarily due to a reduction in commission revenue earned in 2006, partially offset by incremental revenues generated by acquisitions made by NRT during or subsequent to January 1, 2005, which together contributed incremental revenues and EBITDA of $147 million and $17 million, respectively, to 2006 operating results. Apart from these acquisitions, NRT’s revenues decreased $312 million (11%) in the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2005. This decrease was substantially comprised of reduced commission income earned on homesale transactions, which was primarily driven by a 16% decline in the number of homesale transactions, partially offset by a 6% increase in the average price of homes sold. We believe the 16% decline in homesale transactions is reflective of industry trends in the premium coastal areas we serve, particularly Florida, California and New England. EBITDA further reflects a decrease of $215 million in commission expenses paid to real estate agents principally as a result of the reduction in revenues earned on homesale transactions.
Revenue within our relocation services business increased $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. Such increase was primarily driven by $8 million of incremental management fees and commissions earned in our international services operations due to increased transaction volume. This increase was

partially offset by a $7 million decrease in domestic revenue due to lower average fees and volume as well as lower relocation referral volume.
Revenues from our title and settlement services business increased $43 million (27%) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005 primarily due to the acquisition of multiple title and underwriting companies in Texas in a single transaction in January 2006, which contributed $64 million of revenue and $6 million of EBITDA to our 2006 operating results. This increase was partially offset by a $24 million decline in title and closing revenues principally from reduced resale and refinancing volume consistent with the decline in overall homesale transactions noted in the other real estate services businesses.
Apart from NRT’s acquisitions and real estate agent commission expense, as well as the acquisition of the title and underwriting companies in Texas, each of which is discussed separately above, operating, marketing and administrative expenses increased nominally period-over-period, reflecting (i) $13 million of expenses incurred within our real estate brokerage business primarily to support an increased number of offices, (ii) $11 million of additional restructuring and separation costs, period-over-period and (iii) $11 million of incremental expenses primarily representing inflationary increases in rent, office administration and other fixed costs within our real estate brokerage business and (iv) a $5 million increase in staffing and other personnel-related costs incurred within our relocation business primarily to invest in service levels. These increases were substantially offset by (i) $24 million of cost savings within our real estate brokerage and relocation businesses primarily relating to reductions in marketing campaigns and incentive compensation as a result of reduced profitability and (ii) an $13 million decrease in costs within our title and settlement services business reflecting reduced resale and refinance volume.
Hospitality Services
Revenues increased $68 million (9%), while EBITDA decreased $31 million (14%), in the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. The revenue increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts brand, offset by incremental deferred camping revenues from our vacation rental activities. The period-over-period EBITDA comparison was negatively impacted by a tax accrual (recorded within general and administrative expenses) related to our European vacation rental activities, which is discussed in greater detail below.
The operating results of our lodging business reflect the acquisition of the management and franchise business of the Wyndham Hotel chain in October 2005, which contributed incremental revenue of $66 million to the six months ended June 30, 2006 results, but had no effect on EBITDA partially due to the timing of marketing spend. Included within the $66 million of revenue generated by Wyndham is approximately $52 million related to reimbursable expenses, which has no impact on EBITDA. Apart from this acquisition, revenues in our lodging business increased $14 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily due to a $12 million (7%) increase in royalty, marketing and reservation fund revenues and a $7 million increase in revenues generated by our TripRewards loyalty program, partially offset by the absence of a $7 million gain recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2005 on the sale of a lodging related investment. The $12 million increase in royalty, marketing and reservation fund revenues was primarily due to a 10% increase in RevPAR, partially offset by a 3% decrease in weighted average rooms available. The RevPAR increase reflects (i) increases in both price and occupancy principally attributable to an overall improvement in the economy lodging segment in which our hotel brands primarily operate, (ii) the termination of underperforming properties throughout 2005 that did not meet our required quality standards or their financial obligations to us and (iii) the strategic assignment of personnel to field locations designed to assist franchisees in improving their hotel operating performance. The decrease in weighted average rooms available reflects our termination of underperforming properties, as discussed above, and the expiration or termination of franchise agreements.
Revenues from our vacation exchange and rental activities decreased $11 million (2%) in the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease primarily resulted from a $14 million (7%) decrease in revenues generated from our European vacation rental activities which was due to $13 million of deferred revenues on the rental of camping properties which will be recognized later in 2006 upon the arrival of campsite customers. In addition, foreign currency exchange negatively impacted revenue by $7 million period-over-period, which was substantially offset in EBITDA by the mitigating impact of foreign exchange rates and foreign exchange hedges on expenses. These decreases were partially offset by $7 million of increased volume related revenues generated from vacation rental activities at our non-camping properties. Revenues from business activities within our legacy RCI brand increased $3 million (1%) in the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an $11 million (16%) increase in other timeshare points and rental transaction revenues, partially offset by (i) a $2 million (2%) decrease in exchange and subscription fee revenues and (ii) a $6 million (32%) decrease in other transactional revenues. The increase in other timeshare points and rental transaction revenues during 2006 was principally driven by a 19% increase in points and rental transaction volume and a 7% increase in the average price per rental transaction. The decrease in exchange and subscription fee revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily driven by an 8% decrease in exchange transaction volumes and a 1% decrease in the average exchange fee, partially offset

33


Table of Contents

by a 4% increase in the average number of worldwide subscribers. The $6 million decrease in other transactional revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the absence of a rebate, which we received in the six months ended June 30, 2005, but was discontinued after the sale of our Marketing Services division in October 2005. Revenue trends reflect the continued shift in the RCI timeshare membership base toward a greater mix of points members from traditional one-week timeshare members.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately $35 million (6%) in operating, marketing and administrative expenses (excluding the impact of the acquisition discussed above) principally resulting from (i) a $25 million charge in the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to local taxes payable in certain international jurisdictions, (ii) an $11 million increase in marketing, consulting and infrastructure costs incurred to support growth within our vacation exchange and rental activities and (iii) a $7 million increase in expenses used to fund marketing related initiatives for our TripRewards loyalty program. These increases were partially offset by a $12 million reduction in incentive-based compensation expense.
Timeshare Resorts
Revenues and EBITDA increased $81 million (10%) and $38 million (34%), respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. The operating results reflect organic growth in vacation ownership sales and consumer finance income as well as the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 152. Exclusive of the estimated impact of SFAS No. 152 on our results for the six months ended June 30, 2006, revenues and EBITDA increased $155 million (19%) and $28 million (25%), respectively.
Exclusive of the estimated impact of this accounting change, net sales of VOIs at our vacation ownership business increased by an estimated $141 million (23%) in the six months ended June 30, 2006 principally driven by a 10% increase in revenue per guest and an 8% increase in tour flow. Revenue per guest benefited from higher pricing and tour flow was positively impacted by the continued development of the Company’s in-house sales programs.
Revenues and EBITDA increased $25 million and $22 million, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2006 due to incremental net interest income earned on contract receivables primarily due to growth in the portfolio. Revenue and EBITDA comparisons were negatively impacted by $11 million of income recorded in second quarter 2005 in connection with the disposal of a parcel of land that was no longer consistent with our development plans.
EBITDA further reflects an increase of approximately $124 million (18%) in operating, marketing and administrative expenses primarily resulting from (i) $42 million of increased cost of sales primarily associated with increased VOI sales, (ii) $33 million of additional commission expense associated with increased VOI sales, (iii) $18 million of incremental marketing expenses to support sales efforts, (iv) $13 million of incremental costs primarily incurred to fund additional staffing needs to support continued growth in the business, (v) $6 million of additional vacation ownership contract receivable provisions and (vi) $4 million of increased costs associated with the remediation of one of our completed VOI resorts.
Avis Budget Group (formerly, Vehicle Rental)
Revenues increased $281 million (11%), while EBITDA decreased $28 million (14%) in the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. We experienced increased demand for vehicle rentals throughout the year and achieved higher car rental pricing in the United States and internationally, but EBITDA margin comparisons were negatively impacted by higher fleet and interest costs.
Revenues generated by our domestic car rental operations increased $245 million (13%) during 2006, which was comprised of a $197 million (13%) increase in T&M revenue and a $48 million (14%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenue was principally driven by a 6% increase in both the number of days a car was rented and T&M revenue per day. We expect to realize continuing year-over-year price increases for the remainder of 2006 as we seek to offset the impact of higher fleet costs and interest rates, which we began to experience in the second half of 2005. Fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges increased $122 million (21%) in 2006 primarily due to (i) an increase of 7% in the average size of our domestic rental fleet and (ii) increased per-unit fleet costs for model-year 2006 vehicles compared to model-year 2005 vehicles. However, Avis Budget Car Rental issued $1,875 million of non-vehicle-backed debt in April 2006 and used the proceeds to reduce our vehicle-related borrowings, which reduced vehicle-related interest expense, and benefited EBITDA, by approximately $20 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The $48 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $20 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, the majority of which was offset in EBITDA by higher airport concession and vehicle licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities, (ii) a $15 million increase in gasoline revenues and (iii) a $13 million increase in counter sales of insurance and other items, which is inclusive of the absence in 2006 of a $6 million settlement received from an airport authority in first quarter 2005 in connection with the mandated relocation of an Avis rental site. EBITDA from our domestic car rental operations also reflects (i) $54 million of additional expenses

34


Table of Contents

primarily associated with increased car rental volume and fleet size, including vehicle maintenance and damage costs, (ii) $38 million of incremental expenses primarily representing inflationary increases in rent, salaries and wages and other fixed costs, (iii) $26 million of incremental travel agency and credit card commissions expense associated with increased T&M revenue and (iv) $21 million of increased expenses associated with higher gasoline costs. Such activity was partially offset by (i) $14 million of incremental intercompany interest income, which is eliminated in consolidation and has no impact on Cendant’s total revenues or EBITDA, and (ii) a $4 million decrease in public liability and property damage costs as a result of more favorable claims experience.
Revenues generated by our international car rental operations increased $55 million (19%) due to a $38 million (18%) increase in car rental T&M revenue and a $17 million (20%) increase in ancillary revenues. The increase in T&M revenue was principally driven by a 17% increase in the number of days a car was rented and a slight increase in T&M revenue per day. The favorable effect of incremental T&M revenue was partially offset in EBITDA by $27 million (39%) of increased fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges principally resulting from an increase of 19% in the average size of our international rental fleet. The $17 million increase in ancillary revenues was due primarily to (i) a $9 million increase in counter sales of insurance and other items, (ii) a $5 million increase in airport concession and vehicle licensing revenues, the majority of which was offset in EBITDA by higher airport concession and vehicle licensing expenses remitted to airport and other regulatory authorities, and (iii) a $3 million increase in gasoline revenues. EBITDA also reflects (i) $13 million of incremental expenses primarily representing inflationary increases in rent, salaries and wages and other fixed costs, (ii) $12 million of higher operating expenses primarily due to increased car rental volume and other variable costs incurred to support such volume and (iii) $3 million of incremental travel agency and credit card commissions expense associated with increased T&M revenue. The increases discussed above also include (i) $33 million of revenue and $4 million of EBITDA losses resulting from our acquisitions of international franchisees during or subsequent to second quarter 2005 and (ii) the effect of favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which was more than offset in EBITDA by the opposite impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on expenses.
Budget truck rental revenues decreased $19 million (8%) in 2006 primarily representing a $21 million (10%) decrease in T&M revenue, which reflects a 9% decrease in rental days and a slight decrease in T&M per day. Despite a 4% reduction in the average size of our truck rental fleet, which resulted from our efforts to focus on newer and more efficient trucks, we incurred $13 million of incremental fleet depreciation, interest and lease charges primarily due to higher per-unit fleet costs and lower proceeds received on the disposal of older trucks. Such decrease was partially offset by (i) $13 million of lower operating expenses primarily due to having a smaller and more efficient fleet, (ii) the absence of a $6 million restructuring charge recorded in first quarter 2005 which represented costs incurred in connection with the closure of a reservation center and unprofitable Budget truck rental locations, (iii) a $3 million decrease in travel agency and credit card commissions expense partially associated with decreased T&M revenue and (iv) a $3 million decrease in our public liability and property damage costs as a result of more favorable claims experience.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We present separately the financial data of our management programs. These programs are distinct from our other activities as the assets are generally funded through the issuance of debt that is collateralized by such assets. The income generated by these assets is used, in part, to repay the principal and interest associated with the debt. 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 programs. We believe it is appropriate to segregate the financial data of our management programs because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such debt is the realization of such assets.

Stockholders’ equity
    10,501       11,291       (790 )
Total assets exclusive of assets under management programs decreased $198 million principally due to (i) a $561 million decrease in assets of discontinued operations primarily due to a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1.0 billion recorded in connection with the sale of Travelport, partially offset by an increase in cash attributable to the operating results of Travelport’s foreign operations and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on Travelport’s assets and (ii) a decrease of $289 million in cash and cash equivalents (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Cash Flows” for a detailed discussion). These decreases were partially offset by (i) a $346 million increase in other current assets as a result of increased activity within our timeshare business and the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement related to timeshare transactions which resulted in the deferral of greater amounts of costs and revenues at June 30, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005 (see Note 1 to our

Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements), (ii) $241 million of additional goodwill and other intangibles primarily as a result of our acquisitions of real estate brokerage operations, title companies and other individually non-significant businesses during the six months ended June 30, 2006 (see Note 4 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) and (iii) an $80 million increase in trade receivables primarily as a result of seasonality within our real estate and vehicle rental businesses.
Total liabilities exclusive of liabilities under management programs increased approximately $2.3 billion principally due to (i) the issuance of $1,000 million of fixed and floating rate notes and completion of an $875 million term loan by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC in April 2006 (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Debt and Financing Arrangements” for a detailed account of the change in our long-term debt), (ii) a $257 million increase in liabilities of discontinued operations due to increases in Travelport’s deferred income and amounts due to travel suppliers resulting primarily from seasonality in the travel industry and (iii) a $225 million increase in deferred income primarily due to increased activity within our timeshare business and the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement related to timeshare transactions, as discussed above.
Assets under management programs increased approximately $1.3 billion primarily as a result of approximately $1.4 billion of net additions to our vehicle rental fleet reflecting current and projected increases in demand, partially offset by a $402 million decrease in amounts due from vehicle manufacturers.
Liabilities under management programs decreased $422 million, reflecting a $778 million decrease in outstanding borrowings within our vehicle rental business due to the repayment of vehicle-backed debt with a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of fixed and floating rate notes and term loan borrowings, discussed above, partially offset by the issuance of floating rate notes to support the acquisition of vehicles. Such decrease was partially offset by (i) $149 million of additional borrowings within our timeshare business related to the securitization of timeshare receivables and the development of timeshare properties and (ii) a $95 million increase in deferred income taxes. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources-Debt and Financing Arrangements” for a detailed account of the change in our debt related to management programs.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $790 million primarily due to a net loss of $684 million (including a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1.0 billion in connection with the sale of Travelport) in the six months ended June 30, 2006. We also repurchased $243 million (approximately 14 million shares) of Cendant common stock and paid $107 million of dividends. Such decreases were partially offset by a $149 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income related to unrealized gains on cash flow hedges and foreign currency translation adjustments and $45 million related to the exercise of employee stock options (including a $7 million tax benefit).
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 funding arrangements and committed credit facilities, each of which is discussed below.
CASH FLOWS
At June 30, 2006, we had $441 million of cash on hand, a decrease of $289 million from $730 million at December 31, 2005. The following table summarizes such decrease:

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 we generated $510 million less cash from operating activities in comparison to the same period in 2005. This change principally reflects (i) $152 million of incremental tax payments made in the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 2005, (ii) the absence in 2005 of $106 million of cash inflows generated by our former mortgage business during the one month that we owned such business in 2005, (iii) a $32 million payment made in first quarter 2006 in connection with the settlement of the PRIDES litigation, (iv) a decrease in operating results in 2006 and (v) increased working capital requirements during 2006.

36


Table of Contents

We used $171 million more cash in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in 2005. Such change primarily reflects (i) the absence of $958 million of net proceeds received on the initial public offering of Wright Express in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and (ii) the use of $176 million more cash to fund acquisitions in 2006. Such decreases were partially offset by the activities of our management programs, which used approximately $1.1 billion less cash in the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a decrease in amounts expended for vehicle purchases by our vehicle rental business, reflecting our strategy to hold vehicles for a longer duration. We anticipate aggregate capital expenditure investments for 2006 to be approximately $340 million, which does not include capital expenditures to be made by Realogy, Wyndham and Travelport following their separation from Cendant.
We generated approximately $1.1 billion less cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 in comparison with the same period in 2005. Such change principally reflects (i) activities of our management programs, which generated $2.9 billion less cash in the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily reflecting a decrease in net borrowings by our vehicle rental business, consistent with the reduction in vehicle purchases discussed above and (ii) a $424 million reduction in borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which were utilized to fund acquisitions during 2005. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt and Financing Arrangements” for a detailed discussion of financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was partially offset by (i) an $1,875 million increase in borrowings in April 2006 by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, and (ii) the absence in 2006 of a $259 million reduction to cash in 2005 associated with the spin-off of PHH. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt and Financing Arrangements” for a more detailed discussion of these financing arrangements.
DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

(c) In connection with the execution of our separation plan, Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC, the parent company of our vehicle rental operations, borrowed $1,875 million in April 2006, which consists of (i) $1,000 million of unsecured fixed rate notes and floating rate senior notes and (ii) an $875 million secured floating rate term loan under a senior credit facility. The floating rate term loan and floating rate senior notes bear interest at three month LIBOR plus 125 basis points and three month LIBOR plus 250 basis points, respectively.
 
(d) As of June 30, 2006, this balance represents $212 million of mark-to-market adjustments on current interest rate hedges, partially offset by $89 million of net gains resulting from the termination of interest rate hedges. As of December 31, 2005, the balance represents $153 million of net mark-to-market adjustments on current interest rate hedges, partially offset by $106 million of net gains resulting from the termination of interest rate hedges.

(a) The change in the balance at June 30, 2006 principally reflects the payment of vehicle-backed notes with a portion of the proceeds from the $1,875 million of fixed and floating rate financings completed by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC in April 2006, partially offset by the issuance of floating rate vehicle-backed notes at various interest rates to support the acquisition of vehicles used in our vehicle rental business.
As previously discussed, we completed the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham on July 31, 2006. The following table reflects debt under management programs as of June 30, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such spin-offs.

(a) This debt was collateralized by assets of our former timeshare business. We no longer have access to such assets and in connection with our spin-off of Wyndham, we repaid $600 million of these borrowings in July 2006. Such amount represents outstanding borrowings under our asset-linked facility as of June 30, 2006, which was terminated concurrent with such repayment.
(b) This debt was collateralized by assets of our former relocation business. We no longer have access to such assets, nor are we obligated to pay this debt.
(c) This debt was collateralized by assets of our former vacation rental business. We no longer have access to such assets, nor are we obligated to pay this debt.
As of June 30, 2006, the committed credit facility and commercial paper programs at the corporate level included:

(a) Outstanding borrowings include $200 million under our $2.0 billion revolving credit facility. The outstanding borrowings above do not include $265 million of borrowings for which our Travelport subsidiary is the primary obligor. This amount is included within liabilities of discontinued operations on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. In addition to the letters of credit issued as of June 30, 2006, the revolving credit facility contains the committed capacity to issue an additional $1,340 million in letters of credit. Total capacity under this program was reduced from $3.5 to $2.0 billion in 2006. We terminated this facility on July 31, 2006. See Note 18 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information.
(b) This secured revolving credit facility was entered into by Avis Budget Car Rental, LLC in April 2006, has a five year term and currently bears interest at one month LIBOR plus 150 basis points.
(c) Final maturity date is July 2010.
During second quarter 2006, Realogy entered into (i) a $1,650 million credit facility consisting of a $1,050 million revolving credit facility and a $600 million term loan facility and (ii) a $1,325 million interim loan facility. No amounts were outstanding under any of these facilities at June 30, 2006. We do not have any obligations related to these facilities, nor do we have access to these facilities, as they were entered into by Realogy, which was spun-off on July 31, 2006. During July 2006, Wyndham entered into (i) a $1,200 million credit facility consisting of a $900 million revolving credit facility and a $300 million term loan facility and (ii) an $800 million interim loan facility. Also, on July 11, 2006,

Wyndham issued $550 million aggregate principal amount of timeshare-loan-backed notes. We do not have any obligations related to these facilities, nor do we have access to these facilities, as they were entered into by Wyndham, which was spun-off on July 31, 2006.
The following table presents available funding under our debt arrangements related to our management programs at June 30, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the completion of the spin-offs of Realogy and Wyndham.

(b) The outstanding debt is collateralized by approximately $8.2 billion of underlying vehicles (the majority of which are subject to manufacturer repurchase obligations) and related assets.
(c) The outstanding debt is collateralized by approximately $1.4 billion of underlying vehicles (the majority of which are subject to manufacturer repurchase obligations) and related assets.
At June 30, 2006, we also had $400 million of availability for public debt or equity issuances under a shelf registration statement.
LIQUIDITY RISK
We believe that access to our existing financing arrangements is sufficient to meet liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. In connection with the separation, our financing arrangements have been revised or replaced so that our financing arrangements will remain sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in the vehicle rental industry. Additionally, our liquidity as it relates to management programs, could be adversely affected by (i) the deterioration in the performance of the underlying assets of such programs and (ii) increased costs associated with the principal financing program for our vehicle rental operations if General Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company is not able to honor its obligations to repurchase the related vehicles. Access to our credit facilities may be limited if we were to fail to meet certain financial ratios or as a result of the restructuring of such facilities resulting from our separation or under the terms of such restructured facilities.
Additionally, we monitor the maintenance of required financial ratios and, as of June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our credit and securitization facilities.
In connection with our repurchase of substantially all of our outstanding corporate debt and the termination of our principal credit facilities, our credit ratings have been withdrawn by Moody’s Investors Services, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings (other than Moody’s ratings of Cendant’s term debt maturing in August 2006).
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Our future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts reported within our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2006, with the exception of our commitment to purchase vehicles, which decreased from the amount previously disclosed by approximately $3.9 billion to approximately $10.5 billion at June 30, 2006 as a result of purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Any changes to our obligations related to corporate indebtedness and debt under management programs are presented above within the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources— Debt and Financing Arrangements” and also within Notes 11 and 12 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The following table summarizes our future contractual obligations for the twelve month periods beginning on July 1 of each of the years set forth on a pro forma basis after giving effect to (i) the spin-offs of

Also, does not include $1,900 million of borrowings drawn by Travelport in July 2006 under its interim financing facility. See Note 18 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further information on this facility.
(b) Represents debt under management programs (including related party debt due to Cendant Rental Car Funding), which was issued to support the purchase of assets under management programs by our vehicle rental subsidiary.
(c) Primarily represents commitments to purchase vehicles from either General Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company. These commitments are subject to the vehicle manufacturers satisfying their obligations under the repurchase agreements. The purchase of such vehicles is financed through the issuance of debt under management programs in addition to cash received upon the sale of vehicles primarily under repurchase programs.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K are the accounting policies that we believe require subjective and/or complex judgments that could potentially affect 2006 reported results (goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, income taxes and financial instruments). There have been no significant changes to those accounting policies or our assessment of which accounting policies we would consider to be critical accounting policies.
During 2006, we adopted the following standards as a result of the issuance of new accounting pronouncements:
  —  SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions” and Statement of Position No. 04-2, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions”
 
  —  SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”
We will adopt the following recently issued standard as required:
  —  FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”
For detailed information regarding these pronouncements and the impact thereof on our business, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
MATTERS RELATED TO PHH CORPORATION’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have become aware through notifications required under the separation agreement between Cendant and PHH Corporation and through disclosures in PHH’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 21, 2006, that PHH has concluded that its audited and unaudited financial statements for periods prior to September 30, 2005 (“Prior Financial Statements”) should not be relied upon because of errors in the Prior Financial Statements. In that Form 8-K, PHH identified what it described as certain accounting errors related to mortgage re-insurance premiums that may result in changes to its Prior Financial Statements, as well as additional accounting matters that PHH was continuing to evaluate. At the present time, since PHH has neither re-filed its Prior Financial Statements nor, to our knowledge, completed its evaluation of the additional accounting matters, we are unable to complete our assessment of whether and how the matters identified by PHH might affect our previously filed financial statements.
We do not believe that the errors identified by PHH in PHH’s Prior Financial Statements relating to mortgage re-insurance premiums would have a material impact on our financial results for the relevant periods. Furthermore, the errors described in PHH’s Form 8-K filed on July 21, 2006 would appear to impact the timing of recognition in earnings, potentially

increasing our net income as reported for 2002, 2003 and 2004 (the last three years prior to the spin-off of PHH from Cendant) and decreasing net income as reported for 2001 and prior years. We will continue to assess additional information as and when it becomes available.
Item 3.  Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest and foreign currency rates. We used June 30, 2006 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
(a)  Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b)  Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of July 27, 2006 among Cendant Corporation, Realogy Corporation, Wyndham Worldwide Corporation and Travelport, Inc., Realogy will assume 62.5% and Wyndham Worldwide will assume 37.5% (or, if the sale of Travelport is not completed, Realogy will assume 50%, Wyndham Worldwide will assume 30% and Travelport will assume 20%) of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company or its subsidiaries, which are not primarily related to any of the respective businesses of Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide, Travelport and/or the Company’s vehicle rental operations, in each case incurred on or prior to the earlier of December 31, 2006 or the date of the separation of Travelport from the Company including the litigation described below.
After the April 15, 1998 announcement of the discovery of accounting irregularities in the former CUC International, Inc. (“CUC”) business units, and prior to the issuance of this information statement, approximately 70 lawsuits claiming to be class actions and other proceedings were commenced against Cendant and other defendants, of which a number of lawsuits have been settled. Approximately six lawsuits remain unresolved in addition to the matters described below.
In Re Cendant Corporation Litigation, Master File No. 98-1664 (WHW) (D.N.J.) (the “Securities Action”), is a consolidated class action brought on behalf of all persons who acquired securities of Cendant and CUC, except the PRIDES securities, between May 31, 1995 and August 28, 1998. Named as defendants are Cendant; 28 current and former officers and directors of Cendant, CUC and HFS Incorporated; and Ernst & Young LLP, CUC’s former independent accounting firm.
The Amended and Consolidated Class Action Complaint in the Securities Action alleges that, among other things, the lead plaintiffs and members of the class were damaged when they acquired securities of Cendant and CUC because, as a result of accounting irregularities, Cendant’s and CUC’s previously issued financial statements were materially false and misleading, and the allegedly false and misleading financial statements caused the prices of Cendant’s and CUC’s securities to be inflated artificially.
On December 7, 1999, Cendant announced that it had reached an agreement to settle claims made by class members in the Securities Action for approximately $2,850 million in cash plus 50 percent of any net recovery Cendant receives from Ernst & Young as a result of Cendant’s cross-claims against Ernst & Young as described below. This settlement received all necessary court approvals and was fully funded by Cendant on May 24, 2002.
On January 25, 1999, Cendant asserted cross-claims against Ernst & Young that alleged that Ernst & Young failed to follow professional standards to discover and recklessly disregarded the accounting irregularities and is therefore liable to Cendant for damages in unspecified amounts. The cross-claims assert claims for breaches of Ernst & Young’s audit agreements with Cendant, negligence, breaches of fiduciary duty, fraud and contribution. On July 18, 2000, Cendant filed amended cross-claims against Ernst & Young asserting the same claims.
On March 26, 1999, Ernst & Young filed cross-claims against Cendant and certain of Cendant’s present and former officers and directors that alleged that any failure by Ernst & Young to discover the accounting irregularities was caused by misrepresentations and omissions made to Ernst & Young in the course of its audits and other reviews of Cendant’s financial statements. Ernst & Young’s cross-claims assert claims for breach of contract, fraud, fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation and contribution. Damages in unspecified amounts are sought for the costs to Ernst & Young associated with defending the various shareholder lawsuits, lost business it claims is attributable to Ernst & Young’s association with Cendant, and for harm to Ernst & Young’s reputation. On June 4, 2001, Ernst & Young filed amended cross-claims against Cendant asserting the same claims.
Two other proceedings, Semerenko v. Cendant Corp., et al., Civ. Action No. 98-5384 (D.N.J.), and P. Schoenfield Asset Management LLC v. Cendant Corp., et al., Civ. Action No. 98-4734 (D.N.J.) (the “ABI Actions”), were initially commenced in October and November of 1998, respectively, on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased securities of American Bankers Insurance Group, Inc. (“ABI”) between January 27, 1998 and October 13, 1998. Named as defendants are the Company, four former CUC officers and directors and Ernst & Young. The complaints in the ABI actions, as amended on February 8, 1999, assert violations of Sections 10(b), 14(e) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The plaintiffs allege that they purchased shares of ABI common stock at prices artificially inflated by the accounting irregularities after we announced a cash tender offer for 51% of ABI’s outstanding shares of common stock in January 1998. Plaintiffs also allege that after the disclosure of the accounting irregularities, we misstated our intention to complete the tender offer and a second step merger pursuant to which the remaining shares of ABI stock were to be acquired by us. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages. On April 4, 2006, we entered into an agreement to settle the ABI Actions for $22 million. A hearing on the settlement occurred on July 24, 2006 and we expect the Court to approve the settlement.

In addition, pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport have agreed to assume and retain all of the liabilities primarily related to each of their respective businesses and operations, including litigation primarily related to each of their businesses where Cendant is a named party, such as the litigation described below.
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, the Vice Chairman and President of Realogy, 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 21, 2001. The complaint in this action alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act based on purported misconduct in connection with the accounting of certain revenues in financial statements published by Homestore during the class period. On March 7, 2003, the court granted our motion to dismiss lead plaintiff’s claim for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and dismissed the complaint, as against us and Mr. Smith, with prejudice. On March 8, 2004, the court entered final judgment, thus allowing for an appeal to be made regarding its decision dismissing the complaint against Cendant, Mr. Smith and others. Oral argument of the appeal took place on February 6, 2006. On June 30, 2006, the Ninth Circuit issued its decision. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of the complaint as against Cendant and Mr. Smith, but remanded the matter to the district court so that plaintiff could have the opportunity to seek leave to file an amended complaint and attempt to state a claim against Cendant and Mr. Smith in accordance with the standard for liability set forth in the Ninth Circuit’s decision.
We cannot give any assurance as to the final outcome or resolution of these unresolved proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The information presented below modifies and supplements those risk factors, as appropriate.
If any of the events described in the risk factors below occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be materially adversely affected.
Risks related to our indebtedness
We have a substantial amount of debt which could impair our financial condition and adversely affect our ability to react to changes in our business.
As of June 30, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the completion of the Separation Plan, our total debt would have been approximately $9 billion and we would have had approximately $1 billion of available borrowing capacity under our senior secured credit facility.
Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences, including:
  —  limiting our ability to borrow additional amounts to fund working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy, acquisitions and other purposes;
 
  —  requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay principal and interest on our debt, which would reduce the funds available to us for other purposes;
 
  —  making us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions, in government regulation and in our business by limiting our flexibility in planning for, and making it more difficult for us to react quickly to, changing conditions; and
 
  —  exposing us to risks inherent in interest rate fluctuations because some of our borrowings, including borrowings under our new senior secured credit facility, are at variable rates of interest, which could result in higher interest expenses in the event of increases in interest rates.
Despite our current indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.
Subject to specified limitations, the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes limits, but does not prohibit, us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness in the future. As of June 30, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the completion of the Separation Plan, our senior secured credit facility provided us commitments for additional borrowings of approximately $1 billion, in the aggregate. All of those borrowings would be secured and the lenders under our new senior secured credit facility would have a prior claim to our assets that secure such indebtedness. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the risks described above in the previous risk factor could intensify.

43


Table of Contents

Restrictive covenants in agreements and instruments governing our debt may adversely affect our ability to operate our business.
The indenture governing our senior unsecured notes and the agreement governing our senior secured credit facility contain, and our future debt instruments may contain, various provisions that limit our ability to, among other things:
  —  incur additional debt;
 
  —  provide guarantees in respect of obligations of other persons;
 
  —  issue redeemable stock and preferred stock;
 
  —  pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock;
 
  —  prepay, redeem or repurchase debt;
 
  —  make loans, investments and capital expenditures;
 
  —  incur liens;
 
  —  make distributions from our subsidiaries;
 
  —  sell assets and capital stock of our subsidiaries; and
 
  —  consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of our assets to, another person.
We require a significant amount of cash to service all of our indebtedness and our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Our ability to make payments on and refinance our debt depends on our ability to generate cash flow. To some extent, this is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from operations at levels sufficient to permit us to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, and our cash needs may increase. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt and meet our other cash needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the notes. We may not be able to take any of these actions. We may not be able to refinance our debt or sell additional debt or equity securities or our assets on favorable terms, if at all, particularly because of our high levels of debt and the restrictions imposed by the agreement governing our senior secured credit facility and the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes on our ability to incur additional debt and use the proceeds from asset sales. If we must sell our assets, it may negatively affect our ability to generate revenue. The inability to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and on our ability to make scheduled payments on our debt.
If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we would be in default and, as a result:
  —  our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable;
 
  —  the lenders under our senior secured credit facility could terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings; and
 
  —  we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.
Risks related to our business
The high level of competition in the vehicle rental industry may lead to reduced rental volumes, downward pricing or an inability to increase our prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
The vehicle rental industry in which we operate is highly competitive. We believe that price is one of the primary competitive factors in the vehicle rental industry. Our competitors, some of whom may have access to substantial capital, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. To the extent that we match competitors’ downward pricing, it could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. To the extent that we do not match or remain within a reasonable competitive margin of our competitors’ pricing, it could also have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, as we may lose rental volume. The Internet has increased pricing transparency among rental car companies by enabling cost- conscious customers to more easily obtain and compare the rates available from various rental car companies for any given trip. This transparency may increase the prevalence and intensity of price competition in the future.

We face risks of increased fleet costs, both generally and due to the possibility that automobile manufacturers could change or cease their repurchase programs.
Vehicle depreciation represents approximately 26% of our aggregate expenses and can vary from year to year based on the prices at which we are able to purchase and dispose of rental vehicles. For model years 2005 and 2004, approximately 99% of the rental cars purchased for our domestic car fleet was the subject of agreements requiring automobile manufacturers to repurchase them. We refer to cars subject to such agreements as “program cars.” Under these repurchase programs, automobile manufacturers agree to repurchase cars at a specified price during a specified time period, typically subject to certain car condition and mileage requirements. Repurchase programs, therefore, enable us to determine, in advance, our depreciation expense, which is a significant cost factor in our car rental operations. Repurchase programs also limit the risk to us that the market value of a car, at the time of its disposition, will be less than its estimated residual (or depreciated) value.
Automobile manufacturers may not continue to sell cars to us subject to repurchase programs at all or on terms consistent with past practice. Should the percentage of our car rental fleet subject to repurchase programs decrease, we would expect to bear increased risk relating to the residual market value of our car rental fleet and car depreciation, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Under such a scenario, we would have to find an alternate method for disposition of the additional non-program cars, which could significantly increase our overall fleet expenses and decrease our proceeds on sales. The overall cost of cars subject to repurchase programs could also increase if the manufacturers were to make changes to these programs, particularly if such changes were to result in a decrease in the repurchase price without a corresponding decrease to the original purchase price. Repurchase programs also generally provide us with flexibility to reduce the size of our fleet rapidly in response to an economic downturn or changes in demand by returning cars sooner than originally expected. This flexibility may be reduced in the future to the extent the percentage of program cars in our car rental fleet decreases or this feature of repurchase programs is altered.
During 2005, approximately 82% of the cars acquired for our U.S. car rental fleet were manufactured by either General Motors Corporation or Ford Motor Company. A default on any repurchase agreement, particularly with respect to GM or Ford, might leave us with a substantial unpaid claim against the manufacturer with respect to program cars that were sold and returned to the car manufacturer but for which we were not paid. In addition, we might also incur potential additional expenses if the prices at which we were able to dispose of program cars were less than the specified prices under the repurchase program. Any increased risk with respect to the likelihood of these defaults could also impact our ability to finance the purchase of cars to maintain our car rental fleet.
The relative strength of the used vehicle marketplace materially impacts the costs of our rental cars and trucks not covered by repurchase programs or trade-in agreements. We currently sell these used vehicles through auctions, third party resellers and other channels. These markets may not produce stable used vehicle pricing in the future. Based on the number of used trucks and non-program cars produced by our rental operations annually, any downturn in the used vehicle marketplace could have a material impact on our fleet holding costs and profitability.
Our car rental business is dependent on airline passenger traffic, and disruptions in travel patterns could harm our business.
In 2005, we generated approximately 79% of our consolidated car rental revenue from our corporate owned on-airport locations. As a result, a decline in airline passenger traffic could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Events that affect air travel could include work stoppages, military conflicts, terrorist incidents or threats, pandemic diseases, natural disasters or the response of governments to any of these events. We also face increased costs of maintaining our positions on-airport through increased competitive bidding and minimum airport guarantees.
We are dependent on third party distribution channels, and the success of our business depends in significant part on these relationships.
The operators of third party distribution channels, through which we generate approximately 44% of our domestic reservations, generally can cancel or modify their agreements with us upon relatively short notice. Changes in our pricing agreements, commission schedules or arrangements with third party distribution channels, the termination of our relationships or a reduction in the transaction volume of such channels could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Most of these reservations are made in connection with GDS (Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre and Worldspan), which aggregate reservations from various sources. Our largest third party source of reservations (other than from GDS) in 2005 was responsible for less than 2% of our domestic reservations.
Our business is seasonal, and a disruption in rental activity during our peak season could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
In our business, the third quarter of the year has historically been our strongest quarter due to the increased level of leisure travel and household moving activity. In 2005, the third quarter accounted for approximately 29% of our total revenue and

45


Table of Contents

43% of our income before income taxes. Any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during the third quarter could have a disproportionately material adverse effect on our results of operations.
An increase in interest rates would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability.
A significant amount of our borrowings, primarily borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and our vehicle-backed debt, bear interest at variable rates and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, whether because of an increase in market interest rates or an increase in our own cost of borrowing, our debt service obligations for our variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount of borrowings remained the same, and our net income could be materially adversely affected. As of June 30, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the completion of the Separation Plan and giving effect to our interest rate derivatives with respect to the term loan, our total outstanding corporate debt of approximately $1.9 billion included interest rate sensitive debt of approximately $300 million (either by its original terms or through the use of interest rate derivatives), which had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.2% per annum. In addition, our total debt under management programs of approximately $7.1 billion included interest rate sensitive debt of approximately $2.4 billion (either by its original terms or through the use of interest rate derivatives), which had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.6% per annum. During our seasonal borrowing peak in 2005, outstanding interest rate sensitive debt totaled approximately $2.5 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.7% per annum.
We face risks arising from our heavy reliance on communications networks and centralized information systems.
We rely heavily on information systems, including our reservation system, to accept reservations, process rental and sales transactions, manage our fleet of vehicles, account for our activities and otherwise conduct our business. We have centralized our information systems, and we rely on communications services providers to link our systems with the business locations these systems serve. A failure of a major system, or a major disruption of communications between the system and the locations it serves, could cause a loss of reservations, interfere with our ability to manage our fleet, slow rental and sales processes and otherwise materially adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively. Our systems’ business continuity plans and insurance programs are designed to mitigate such a risk, not to eliminate it. In addition, because our systems contain information about millions of individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain the security of the data we hold, whether the result of our own error or the malfeasance of others, could harm our reputation or give rise to legal liabilities leading to lower revenue, increased costs and other material adverse effects on our results of operations.
We face risks related to liability and insurance.
Our businesses expose us to claims for personal injury, death and property damage related to the use of our vehicles and for workers’ compensation claims and other employment-related claims by our employees. We may become exposed to uninsured liability at levels in excess of our historical levels resulting from unusually high losses or otherwise. In addition, liabilities in respect of existing or future claims may exceed the level of our reserves and/or our insurance, and we may not have sufficient capital available to pay any uninsured claims. Furthermore, insurance with unaffiliated carriers may not continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms or at all.
Environmental regulations could subject us to liability for fines or damages.
We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations in connection with our operations, including, among other things, with respect to the ownership and operation of tanks for the storage of petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and motor and waste oils. We have established a compliance program for our tank systems that is intended to ensure that the tanks are properly registered with the state or other jurisdiction in which the tanks are located and have been either replaced or upgraded to meet applicable leak detection and spill, overfill, corrosion protection and vapor recovery requirements. These tank systems may not at all times remain free from undetected leaks, and the use of these tanks may result in significant spills.
We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations, including, among others, expenditures for the cleanup of contamination at our owned and leased properties, as well as contamination at other locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified. Our compliance with existing or future environmental laws and regulations may, however, require material expenditures by us or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Changes in the U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including laws and regulations relating to the insurance products we sell, consumer privacy, data security and insurance rates, could disrupt our business, increase our expenses or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations in the United States and the other countries and jurisdictions in which we operate, and changes in the level of government regulation of our business have the potential to materially alter

46


Table of Contents

our business practices or our profitability. Depending on the jurisdiction, those changes may come about through new legislation, the issuance of new laws and regulations or changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations by a court, regulatory body or governmental official.
The optional insurance products, including, but not limited to, supplemental liability insurance, personal accident insurance and personal effects protection, offered to renters providing various insurance coverages in our domestic vehicle rental operations are regulated under state laws governing the licensing of such products. In our international car rental operations, our offering of optional products providing insurance coverage historically has not been regulated.
Any changes in U.S. or foreign law that change our operating requirements with respect to optional insurance products could increase our costs of compliance or make it uneconomical to offer such products, which would lead to a reduction in revenue. If customers decline to purchase supplemental liability insurance products through us as a result of any changes in these laws or otherwise, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
In many states, we are allowed to recover various licensing costs, concession costs and other fees that we are required to remit to government agencies, including airport authorities. Our practice is to show any such charge as an additional separately stated item on the customer invoice, to clearly disclose the existence of these fees to consumers in all distribution channels and to provide an estimated total price inclusive of surcharges and taxes. Prior opinions from the Federal Trade Commission and various courts support this business practice and we believe these pass-through charges, where imposed, are lawful. However, the Attorneys General of Virginia, Montana and Massachusetts have questioned this practice, and we cannot assure you that these or other Attorneys General may not bring an enforcement proceeding against us with respect to these matters.
We may be held responsible by third parties, regulators or courts for the actions of, or failures to act by, our franchisees, which exposes us to possible fines, other liabilities and bad publicity.
Our franchised locations are independently owned and operated. Our agreements with our franchisees require that they comply with all laws and regulations applicable to their businesses, including our internal quality, image, service and performance policies and standards. Under our franchise agreements, our franchisees retain control over the employment and management of all personnel. Third parties, regulators or courts may seek to hold us responsible for the actions of, or failures to act by, our franchisees. Although we maintain the right to monitor the operations of franchisees and have the ability to terminate franchise agreements for failure to adhere to contracted operational standards, we are unlikely to detect all problems. Moreover, there are occasions when our and our franchisees’ activities may not be clearly distinguishable. It is our policy to vigorously seek to be dismissed from any such claims and to pursue indemnity for any adverse decisions. Failure to comply with laws and regulations by our franchisees may expose us to liability and damages that may adversely affect our business.
Risks related to the separation
We have no recent operating history as a stand-alone vehicle rental company.
The financial information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows we would have achieved as a stand-alone vehicle rental company during the periods presented or those we will achieve in the future. This is primarily a result of the following factors:
  —  Prior to the completion of the Separation Plan, the Vehicle Rental business was operated by Cendant as part of its broader corporate organization, rather than as an independent company. Cendant or one of its affiliates performed various corporate functions for our vehicle rental business, including, but not limited to, tax administration, certain governance functions (including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and internal audit) and external reporting. Our financial results reflect allocations of corporate expenses from Cendant for these and similar functions. These allocations may be less than the comparable expenses we believe we would have incurred had we operated as a stand-alone vehicle rental company.
 
  —  Generally, working capital requirements and capital for general corporate purposes for the Vehicle Rental business, including acquisitions and capital expenditures, have historically been satisfied as part of the corporate-wide cash management policies of Cendant’s broader corporate organization. With the completion of the Separation Plan, we will not have access to the cash generated by Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide or Travelport in order to finance our working capital or other cash requirements. Without the opportunity to obtain financing from the cash generated by these companies, we may need to obtain additional financing from banks, or through public offerings or private placements of debt or equity securities, strategic relationships or other arrangements.
 
  —  With the completion of the Separation Plan, the cost of capital for our business may be higher than our cost of capital prior to the completion of the Separation Plan.

47


Table of Contents

  —  While we have entered into short-term transition agreements that will govern certain commercial and other relationships among us, Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport after the completion of the Separation Plan, those temporary arrangements may not capture the benefits our business enjoyed as a result of being integrated with those companies. The loss of these benefits could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
  —  Other significant changes may occur in our cost structure, management, financing and business operations as a result of our operating as a company separate from Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport.
We may be unable to make, on a timely or cost-effective basis, the changes necessary to operate upon the completion of the Separation Plan, and we may experience increased costs as a result of the Separation Plan.
Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide are, and Travelport will be, contractually obligated to provide to us only those services specified in the transition services agreement and the other agreements we entered into with them in preparation for the separation. We may be unable to replace, in a timely manner or on comparable terms, the services that Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide or Travelport previously provided to us that are not specified in the transition services agreement or the other agreements. In addition, if Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide or Travelport do not continue to perform effectively the transition services and other services that are called for under the transition services agreement and the other agreements, we may not be able to operate our business effectively and our profitability may decline. Furthermore, after the expiration of the transition services and other agreements, we may be unable to replace, in a timely manner or on comparable terms, the services specified in such agreements.
The distribution or sale of Travelport may not be completed, or if completed, the terms of such transactions may differ than those currently contemplated.
Consummation of the final stage of Separation Plan, the sale or distribution of Travelport, is subject to a number of uncertainties and the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent. If the sale of Travelport is not complete by December 31, 2006, we have agreed to distribute the common stock of Travelport to our stockholders. Therefore, we cannot provide any assurances that the Separation Plan will be completed, nor can we give assurances as to the terms on which the sale or distribution of Travelport will be consummated.
Our agreements with Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm’s-length negotiations among unaffiliated parties.
The agreements related to the separation, including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Sharing Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and other agreements, were not the result of arm’s-length negotiations and thus may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm’s-length negotiations among unaffiliated parties. Such terms include, among other things, those related to allocation of assets, liabilities, rights, indemnifications and other obligations among the companies.
We are relying on Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport to fulfill their obligations under the Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements.
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide will be responsible for 62.5% and 37.5%, respectively (or, in the event that Travelport is distributed and not sold, Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport will be responsible for 50%, 30% and 20%, respectively) of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities of Cendant. More specifically, Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide (and, if applicable, Travelport) will generally assume and be responsible for the payment of their allocated percentage of all taxes imposed on us and certain of our subsidiaries and certain of our contingent and other corporate liabilities and/or our subsidiaries to the extent incurred prior to the earlier of December 31, 2006 or the date of the separation of Travelport from Cendant. These contingent and other corporate liabilities include liabilities relating to (i) Cendant’s terminated or divested businesses, including among others, the former PHH and Marketing Services businesses, (ii) liabilities relating to the Travelport sale, if any, (iii) the Securities Action and the ABI Actions (for a further description of these litigation matters, see “Legal Proceedings”) and (iv) generally any actions with respect to the Separation Plan or the distributions brought by any third party. If any party responsible for such liabilities were to default in its payment, when due, of any such assumed obligations, each non-defaulting party, including us, would be required to pay an equal portion of the amounts in default. Moreover, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for cross-indemnities designed to place financial responsibility of certain obligations with the proper company. Any failure by Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide or Travelport to pay any liabilities when due or to indemnify us when required may cause a material adverse affect on our results of operations.

Risks related to our common stock
With the completion of the distributions of Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide, the market price of our shares may fluctuate widely.
We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade now that the distributions of Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide are complete. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely, depending upon many factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:
  —  our business profile and market capitalization with the completion of the distributions of Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide may not fit the investment objectives of pre-distribution Cendant stockholders, especially stockholders who held Cendant stock based on Cendant’s inclusion in the S&P 500 Index, as our common stock with the completion of the distributions of Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide will not be included in the S&P 500 Index, and as a result, pre-distribution Cendant stockholders may sell our shares;
 
  —  a shift in our investor base;
 
  —  our quarterly or annual earnings, or those of other companies in our industry;
 
  —  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results due to the seasonality of our business and other factors related to our business;
 
  —  changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
 
  —  announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions or dispositions;
 
  —  the failure of securities analysts to cover our common stock after completion of the Realogy and Wyndham Worldwide distributions;
 
  —  changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;
 
  —  the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;
 
  —  overall market fluctuations; and
 
  —  general economic conditions.
Stock markets in general have experienced volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Your percentage ownership may be diluted in the future.
Your percentage ownership may be diluted in the future because of equity awards that we granted to our directors, officers and employees and the accelerated vesting of previously granted equity awards. As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 4, 2006 and in the footnotes to our financial statements included herein, on August 1, 2006, we granted approximately 18 million restricted stock units and approximately 5 million stock-settled stock appreciation rights and on August 15, 2006, approximately 11 million restricted stock units and 1.1 million options are expected to vest in connection with the separation plan. Such amounts do not give effect to adjustments that will occur if our anticipated one-for-ten reverse stock split is completed. While we anticipate that the value of annual grants in future years will be lower than the August 2006 grant, we do expect to grant restricted stock units and/or other types of equity awards in the future.
Our stockholder rights plan and provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, and of Delaware law may prevent or delay an acquisition of our company, which could decrease the trading price of our common stock.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated by-laws and Delaware law contain provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids by making such practices or bids unacceptably expensive to the raider and to encourage prospective acquirors to negotiate with our Board of Directors rather than to attempt a hostile takeover. These provisions include, among others:
  —  elimination of the right of our stockholders to act by written consent;
 
  —  rules regarding how stockholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at stockholder meetings;
 
  —  the right of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval; and
 
  —  limitations on the right of stockholders to remove directors.
Delaware law also imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock.

49


Table of Contents

Our Board adopted a stockholder rights plan, which provides, among other things, that when specified events occur, our stockholders will be entitled to purchase from us a newly created series of junior preferred stock. The preferred stock purchase rights are triggered by the earlier to occur of (i) ten business days (or a later date determined by our Board of Directors before the rights are separated from our common stock) after the public announcement that a person or group has become an “acquiring person” by acquiring beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock or (ii) ten business days (or a later date determined by our Board before the rights are separated from our common stock) after a person or group begins a tender or exchange offer that, if completed, would result in that person or group becoming an acquiring person. The issuance of preferred stock pursuant to the stockholder rights plan would cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved by our Board of Directors.
We believe these provisions protect our stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring potential acquirors to negotiate with our Board and by providing our Board with more time to assess any acquisition proposal. These provisions are not intended to make our company immune from takeovers. However, these provisions apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our Board determines is not in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.
Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
As discussed in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Cendant commenced a series of transactions in the second quarter of 2006 for the purpose of paying off its then existing corporate indebtedness, which included cash tender offers to purchase all of our then outstanding Notes (defined below) and consent solicitations with respect to proposed amendments to the Indenture (defined below) governing such Notes. On June 14, 2006, we commenced the tender offers and solicited the consent of holders in order to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture governing our 6.250% Senior Notes due 2008, 6.250% Senior Notes due 2010, 7.375% Senior Notes due 2013 and 7.125% Senior Notes due 2015 (collectively, the “Notes”). On June 27, 2006 (the “Consent Date”), we announced that we received consents approving the proposed amendments to the Indenture from a majority in principal amount of the holders of each series of Notes and executed the supplemental indenture described below. The amendments eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture are described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 30, 2006, and incorporated herein by reference. The vote totals for the consents, as of 5:00 p.m. on the Consent Date, are set forth in the following table:
                         
    Principal   Principal   Principal
    Amount   Amount   Amount
Notes   Outstanding ($)   Voted For ($)   Abstained ($)
 
           
6.250% Senior Notes due 2008
    800,000,000       770,225,000       29,775,000  
6.250% Senior Notes due 2010
    350,000,000       337,461,000       12,539,000  
7.375% Senior Notes due 2013
    1,200,000,000       1,182,370,000       17,630,000  
7.125% Senior Notes due 2015
    250,000,000       247,068,000       2,932,000  
In connection with the consummation of the consent solicitations, we executed the First Supplemental Indenture, dated June 27, 2006 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), to the Indenture, dated as of January 13, 2003, between Cendant and The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee. The First Supplemental Indenture became operative once we accepted for purchase all validly tendered Notes on July 28, 2006.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to BTF to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the term of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

                    (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by BTF, and BTF shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 13.3 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Note has never been issued and sold by BTF, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
                    Section 2.5. Registrar and Paying Agent.
                    (a) BTF shall (i) maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) appoint a paying agent (which shall satisfy the eligibility criteria set forth in Section 10.8(a)) (“Paying Agent”) at whose office or agency Notes may be presented for payment. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). BTF may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. BTF may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Noteholder. BTF shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture.

                    (b) BTF shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Base Indenture. Such agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Base Indenture that relate to such Agent.

                    Section 2.6. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
                    (a) BTF will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6, that such Paying Agent will:
               (i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided;
               (ii) give the Trustee notice of any default by BTF (or any other obligor under the Notes) of which it has actual knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;
               (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent;
               (iv) immediately resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Trustee hereunder at the time of its appointment; and
               (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.
                    (b) BTF may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which the sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.
                    (c) Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, any money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to BTF on Company Request; and the

Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to BTF for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to BTF), and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of BTF, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York City, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to BTF. The Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of BTF, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment.
                    Section 2.7. Noteholder List.
                    The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished by the Registrar to BTF or the Paying Agent, within five Business Days after receipt by the Trustee of a request therefor from BTF or the Paying Agent, respectively, in writing, a list in such form as BTF or the Paying Agent may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Noteholders of each Series as of the most recent Record Date for payments to such Noteholders. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, holders of Notes of any Series having an aggregate Invested Amount of not less than 10% of the aggregate Invested Amount of such Series (the “Applicants”) may apply in writing to the Trustee, and if such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Noteholders of any Series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee, after having been indemnified to its satisfaction by such Applicants for its costs and expenses, shall afford or shall cause the Registrar to afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Noteholders held by the Trustee and shall give BTF notice that such request has been made, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application. Such list shall be as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants’ request. Every Noteholder, by receiving and holding a Note, agrees with the Trustee that neither the Trustee, the Registrar, nor any of their respective agents shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Noteholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was obtained.
                    The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, BTF shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Distribution Date and at such other time as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders of each Series of Notes.
                    Section 2.8. Transfer and Exchange.
                    (a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Registrar, if the requirements of Section 2.8(f) and Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met, BTF shall execute and after BTF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new

At the option of any Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same Series and Class in authorized denominations of like initial Invested Amount (or maximum Invested Amount, as the case may be), upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever Notes of any Series are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8—401(a) of the UCC are met, BTF shall execute and after BTF has executed, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Noteholder, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
                    (b) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with a medallion signature guarantee, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Trustee may require. BTF shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Registrar, as applicable, Notes in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the Trustee to fulfill its responsibilities under this Indenture and the Notes.
                    (c) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes shall be the valid obligations of BTF, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
                    (d) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.8 notwithstanding, the Trustee or the Registrar, as the case may be, shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of any Note of any Series for a period of 15 days preceding the due date for payment in full of the Notes of such Series.
                    (e) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, no service charge shall be payable for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but BTF or the Registrar may require payment by the Noteholder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Notes.
                    (f) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Supplement, registration of transfer of Notes containing a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer of such Notes (which legend shall be set forth in the applicable Series Supplement) shall be effected only if the conditions set forth in such applicable Series Supplement are satisfied.
                    Section 2.9. Persons Deemed Owners.
                    Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and BTF may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor BTF shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
                    Section 2.10. Replacement Notes.

Table of Contents

                    (a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold BTF and the Trustee harmless then, provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met (which generally permit BTF to impose reasonable requirements), BTF shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Note, BTF may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser (within the meaning of Section 8-303 of the UCC) of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such original Note, BTF and the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by BTF or the Trustee in connection therewith.
                    (b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Note under this Section 2.10, the Registrar, BTF or the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Note of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
                    (c) Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.10 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Base Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
                    (d) The provisions of this Section 2.11 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
                    Section 2.11. Treasury Notes.
                    In determining whether the Noteholders of the required Invested Amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by BTF or any Affiliate of BTF (other than an Affiliate Issuer) shall be considered as though they are not Outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of which a Trust Officer has received written notice of such ownership shall be so disregarded. Absent written notice to a Trust Officer of such ownership, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the identity of the individual owners of the Notes.
                    Section 2.12. Cancellation.

                    BTF may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which BTF may have acquired in any manner whatsoever or upon any repayment of the principal amount in respect of such Notes, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation. BTF may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Any interest payable at maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal of such Note is payable.
                    (d) Unless otherwise specified in the Series Supplement, if BTF defaults in the payment of interest on the Notes of any Series, such interest, to the extent paid on any date that is more than five (5) Business Days after the applicable due date, shall, at the option of BTF, cease to be payable to the Persons who were Noteholders of such Series on the applicable Record Date and in such case BTF shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner, plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Noteholders of such Series on a subsequent special record date which date shall be at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date, at the rate provided in the related Series Supplement and in the Notes of such Series.

The Collateral shall secure the Notes equally and ratably without prejudice, priority (except, with respect to any Series of Notes, as otherwise stated in the applicable Series Supplement) or distinction.
                    Section 3.2. Certain Rights and Obligations of BTF Unaffected.
                    (a) Notwithstanding the assignment and security interest so granted to the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties, BTF shall nevertheless be permitted, subject to the Trustee’s right to revoke such permission in the event of an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes Outstanding and subject to the provisions of Section 3.3, to give all consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, extensions or waivers, if any, which are required to be given in the normal course of business (which does not include waivers of default under any of the Collateral Agreements).
                    (b) The assignment of and grant of a security interest in the Collateral to the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties shall not (i) relieve BTF from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on BTF’s part to be performed or observed under or in connection with any of the Collateral Agreements or (ii) impose any obligation on the Trustee or any of the Secured Parties to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or

                    Section 3.3. Performance of Collateral Agreements.
                    Upon the occurrence of a default or breach by any Person party to a Collateral Agreement, promptly following a request from the Trustee to do so and at BTF’s expense, BTF agrees to take all such lawful action as permitted under this Indenture as the Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by BTF, the Nominee Lienholder, the Administrator, the Lessee, the Guarantor or any other party to any of the Collateral Agreements of its obligations to BTF, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to BTF to the extent and in the manner directed by the Trustee, including, without limitation, the transmission of notices of default and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by BTF, the Nominee Lienholder, the Administrator, the Lessee or the Guarantor (or such other party to any of the Collateral Agreements) of their respective obligations thereunder.

All amounts held in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the Collection Account Control Agreement at the written direction of BTF. Investments of funds on deposit in administrative sub-accounts of the Collection Account established in respect of a particular Series of Notes shall be required to mature on or before the dates specified in the applicable Series Supplement.

                    (e) Trustee Accounts as Securities Accounts. Each of BTF and the Trustee on behalf of the secured parties hereunder and as Securities Intermediary acknowledges and agrees that all of the accounts established under Article 4 of this Base Indenture and under any Series Supplement (all such accounts and any accounts established by the Trustee or BTF under any future Series Supplements, the “Issuer Accounts”) are intended to be, and the Trustee agrees to establish such accounts as, “securities accounts” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the New York UCC). The Trustee represents and warrants that it is a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the New York UCC) and a “bank” (as defined in Section 9-102 of the New York UCC) (the Trustee in such capacities is referred to herein as the “Securities Intermediary”).

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.5 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, and other properties which the Noteholders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given under this Indenture or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.

                    Section 9.13. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
                    No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Amortization Event shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Amortization Event or an acquiescence therein.

ARTICLE 10. THE TRUSTEE
                    Section 10.1. Duties of the Trustee.
                    (a) If an Amortization Event with respect to one or more Series of Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no liability in connection with any action or inaction taken, or not taken, by it upon the deemed occurrence of an Amortization Event of which a Trust Officer has not received written notice. The preceding sentence shall not have the effect of insulating the Trustee from liability arising out of the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct.
                    (b) Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Amortization Event:
               (i) The Trustee undertakes to perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
               (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any risk, loss, liability or expense.
                    (e) In the event that the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall fail to perform any obligation, duty or agreement in the manner or on the day required to be performed by the Paying Agent or the Registrar, as the case may be, under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be obligated as soon as practicable upon actual knowledge of a Trust Officer thereof and receipt of appropriate records and information, if any, to perform such obligation, duty or agreement in the manner so required.
                    (f) Subject to Section 10.3, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law or the Related Documents.

                    (c) The Trustee may act through agents, custodians and nominees and shall not be liable for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, custodian or nominee so long as such agent, custodian or nominee is appointed with due care. The appointment of agents (other than legal counsel) pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be subject to the prior consent of BTF, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                    (h) The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor to the Trustee so long as such acts or omissions were not the result of the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the predecessor Trustee.
                    Section 10.3. Individual Rights of the Trustee.
                    The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with BTF or an Affiliate of BTF with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

                    Section 12.2. Supplements.
                    Each amendment or other modification to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a Supplement.

                    Section 12.3. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

However, any such Noteholder or subsequent Noteholder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Noteholder. BTF may fix a record date for determining which Noteholders must consent to such amendment or waiver.
                    Section 12.4. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
                    The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. BTF, in exchange for all Notes, may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment or waiver.

                    Section 12.5. The Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
                    The Trustee shall sign any Supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 12 if the Supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.

such notice is mailed, (iii) delivered by telex, telecopier, facsimile or electronic mail shall be deemed given on the date of delivery of such notice, and (iv) delivered by overnight air courier shall be deemed delivered one Business Day after the date that such notice is delivered to such overnight courier.

In any case where notice to a Noteholder is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Noteholders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
                    In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made that is satisfactory to the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

                    Noteholders may communicate with other Noteholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes.

                    Section 13.9. Payment on Business Day.
                    Unless otherwise specified in the Series Supplement for any Series of Notes, in any case where any Distribution Date, redemption date or maturity date of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Base Indenture) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any), as the case may be, need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Distribution Date, redemption date, or maturity date; provided, however, that no interest

shall accrue for the period from and after such Distribution Date, redemption date, or maturity date, as the case may be to and including such next succeeding Business Day.

                    The Table of Contents and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Base Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.
                    Section 13.16. Termination; Indenture Collateral.

Table of Contents

been complied with, shall reassign (without recourse upon, or any warranty whatsoever by, the Trustee) and deliver all Collateral and documents then in the custody or possession of the Trustee promptly to BTF.

                    Section 13.17. No Bankruptcy Petition Against BTF.
                    Each of the Secured Parties and the Trustee hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing Note, it will not institute against, or join with any other Person in instituting, against BTF any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings, under any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 13.17 shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from BTF pursuant to this Indenture. In the event that any such Secured Party or the Trustee takes action in violation of this Section 13.17, BTF, as the case may be, shall file or cause to be filed an answer with the bankruptcy court or otherwise properly contesting the filing of such a petition by any such Secured Party or the Trustee against BTF or the commencement of such action and raising the defense that such Secured Party or the Trustee has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that it may assert. The provisions of this Section 13.17 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Nothing contained herein shall preclude participation by any Secured Party or the Trustee in the assertion or defense of its claims in any such proceeding involving BTF.
                    Section 13.18. No Recourse.
                    The obligations of BTF under this Indenture are solely the obligations of BTF. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Indenture against any member, employee, officer, manager, or incorporator or other authorized person of BTF. Fees, expenses or costs payable by BTF hereunder shall be payable by BTF to the extent and only to the extent that BTF is reimbursed therefor pursuant to any of the Related Documents, or funds are then available or thereafter become available for such purpose pursuant to Article 5. In the event that BTF is not reimbursed for such fees, expenses or costs or that sufficient funds are not available for their payment pursuant to Article 5, the excess unpaid amount of such fees, expenses or costs shall in no event constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, BTF. Nothing in this Section 13.18 shall be construed to limit the Trustee from exercising its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.
                    Section 13.19. Waiver of Jury Trial.
                    EACH OF BTF AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING

All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 2006-1 Reserve Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical property (and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security entitlement) shall be physically delivered to the Securities Intermediary; (ii) United States security entitlements or security entitlements shall be controlled (as defined in Section 8-106 of the New York UCC) by the Securities Intermediary pending maturity or disposition, and (iii) uncertificated securities (and not United States security entitlements) shall be delivered to the Securities Intermediary by causing the Securities Intermediary to become the registered holder of such securities.

The Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained (i) with a Qualified Institution, or (ii) as a segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account; provided that, if at any time such Qualified Institution is no longer a Qualified Institution or the credit rating of any securities issued by such depository institution or trust company shall be reduced to below “BBB-” by S&P or “Baa3” by Moody’s, then BTF shall, within 30 days of such reduction, establish a new Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account with a new Qualified Institution or a new segregated trust account with the corporate trust department of a depository institution or trust company having corporate trust powers and acting as trustee for funds deposited in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. If a new Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account is established, BTF shall instruct the Trustee in writing to transfer all cash and investments from the non-qualifying Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account into the new Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account.

44


 

Account shall be established with The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.; provided that if the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account is established with any other institution, BTF shall cause such institution to enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent establishing “control” within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the New York UCC by the Trustee over the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account, including agreements by such institution to (i) to act as the securities intermediary (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New York UCC) with respect to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account; (ii) that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account shall be treated as a financial asset (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC) and (iii) to comply with any entitlement order (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC) issued by the Trustee without further consent of BTF.
          (f) Administration of the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. BTF may instruct (by standing instructions or otherwise) the institution maintaining the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account to invest funds on deposit in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account from time to time in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that any such investment shall mature not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date following the date on which such funds were received, unless any Permitted Investment held in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account is held with the Paying Agent, in which case such investment may mature on such Distribution Date so long as such funds shall be available for withdrawal on or prior to such Distribution Date. All such Permitted Investments will be credited to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account and any such Permitted Investments that constitute (i) physical property (and that is not either a United States security entitlement or a security entitlement) shall be physically delivered to the Securities Intermediary; (ii) United States security entitlements or security entitlements shall be controlled (as defined in Section 8-106 of the New York UCC) by the Securities Intermediary pending maturity or disposition, and (iii) uncertificated securities (and not United States security entitlements) shall be delivered to the Securities Intermediary by causing the Trustee to become the registered holder of such securities. The Securities Intermediary shall, at the expense of BTF, take such action as is required to maintain the Trustee’s security interest in the Permitted Investments credited to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. BTF shall not direct the Securities Intermediary to dispose of (or permit the disposal of) any Permitted Investments prior to the maturity thereof to the extent such disposal would result in a loss of principal of such Permitted Investment. In the absence of written investment instructions hereunder, funds on deposit in the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account shall remain uninvested.

          (h) Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus. In the event that the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus on any Distribution Date (or, after the Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Termination Date, on any date) is greater than zero, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator, shall withdraw from the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account Surplus and shall pay such amount: first, to the Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Providers to the

          (i) Termination of Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account. Upon the termination of this Series Supplement in accordance with its terms, the Trustee, acting in accordance with the written instructions of the Administrator, after the prior payment of all amounts owing to the Series 2006-1 Noteholders and payable from the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account as provided herein, shall withdraw from the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account all amounts on deposit therein (to the extent not withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.8(h) above) and shall pay such amounts: first, to the Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Providers to the extent of any unreimbursed drawings under the related Series 2006-1 Reimbursement Agreement, for application in accordance with the provisions of the related Series 2006-1 Reimbursement Agreement, and, second, to BTF any remaining amount.

If the Series 2006-1 Demand Note Payment Amount is greater than zero, then the Administrator shall instruct the Trustee in writing to draw on the Series 2006-1 Letters of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day. Upon receipt of any such notice by the Trustee on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Trustee shall, by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Business Day draw an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the Series 2006-1 Demand Note Payment Amount over the Series 2006-1 Available Reserve Account Amount (prior to giving effect to any transfer to the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 3.7(e) on such date) and (ii) the Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Liquidity Amount on the Series 2006-1 Letters of Credit by presenting to each Series 2006-1 Letter of Credit Provider a draft accompanied by a Certificate of Termination Date Demand; provided, however, that if the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Account has been established and funded, the Trustee shall draw an amount equal to the product of (a) 100% minus the Series 2006-1 Cash Collateral Percentage and (b) the lesser of the amounts referred to in clause (i) or (ii) on such Business Day on the Series 2006-1 Letters of Credit as calculated by the Administrator and provided in writing to the Trustee.

ARTICLE VI
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
          Section 6.1 Increased Costs.
          (a) If any Change in Law (except with respect to Taxes which shall be governed by Section 6.2) shall:
     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

54


 

     (ii) impose on any Affected Party or the London interbank market any other condition affecting the Indenture or the Related Documents or the funding of Eurodollar Tranches by such Affected Party; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Party of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Tranches (or maintaining its obligation to do so) or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or in connection herewith (whether principal, interest or otherwise), then BTF shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
          (b) If any Affected Party determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Affected Party or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Party’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, BTF shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for any such reduction suffered.
          (c) A certificate of an Affected Party setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Party as specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.1 shall be delivered to BTF (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent with respect to such Affected Party) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any payments made by BTF pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VI Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against BTF to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Series Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
          (d) Failure or delay on the part of an Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided that BTF shall not be required to compensate any Affected Party pursuant to this Section 6.1 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies BTF of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
          Section 6.2 Taxes.
          (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of BTF hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if BTF shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) subject to Section 6.2(c) below, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions

55


 

applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.2) the recipient receives an amount equal to the sum that it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) BTF shall make such deductions and (iii) BTF shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
          (b) In addition, BTF shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
          (c) BTF shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Program Support Provider and each member of each Purchaser Group within the later of 10 days after written demand therefor and the Distribution Date next following such demand for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of BTF hereunder or under the Indenture (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 6.2) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that no Person shall be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) or entitled to receive additional amounts under the proviso of Section 6.2(a) to the extent that the reason for such indemnification results from the failure by such Person to comply with the provisions of Section 6.2(e) or (g). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to BTF by the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any Purchaser Group shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any payments made by BTF pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VI Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim against BTF to the extent that insufficient funds exist to make such payment. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Series Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder.
          (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by BTF to a Governmental Authority, BTF shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
          (e) The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each member of each Purchaser Group and each Program Support Provider, if entitled to an exemption from or reduction of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax with respect to payments made hereunder or under the Indenture shall (to the extent legally able to do so) deliver to BTF (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by BTF on the later of (i) 30 Business Days after such request is made and the applicable forms are provided to the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such member of such Purchaser Group or such Program Support Provider or (ii) 30 Business Days before prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made

56


 

without withholding or with an exemption from or reduction of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.
          (f) If the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any Purchaser Group receives a refund solely in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, it shall pay over such refund to BTF to the extent that it has already received indemnity payments or additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.2 with respect to such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that BTF shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group, repay such refund (plus interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group if the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained herein shall require the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Program Support Provider or any member of any Purchaser Group to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) available to BTF or any other Person.
          (g) The Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent, each Program Support Provider and each member of each Purchaser Group (other than any such entity which is a domestic corporation) shall:
     (i) upon or prior to becoming a party hereto, deliver to BTF and the Administrative Agent two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or successor applicable forms or documents, as the case may be, establishing a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect to payments under the Series 2006-1 Notes and this Series Supplement;
     (ii) deliver to BTF and the Administrative Agent two (2) further copies of any such form or certification establishing a complete exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes with respect to payments under the Series 2006-1 Notes and this Series Supplement on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to BTF; and
     (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by BTF and the Administrative Agent;
unless, in any such case, any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the Series 2006-1 Closing Date (or, if later, the date the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group becomes an indemnified party hereunder) and prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders the relevant form inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group

57


 

from duly completing and delivering the relevant form with respect to it, and the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent, such Program Support Provider or such member of such Purchaser Group so advises BTF and the Administrative Agent.
          (h) If a beneficial or equity owner of the Administrative Agent, a Funding Agent, a Program Support Provider or a member of a Purchaser Group (instead of the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agent, the Program Support Provider or the member of the Purchaser Group itself) is required under United States federal income tax law or the terms of a relevant treaty to provide IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-9, or any successor applicable forms or documents, as the case may be, in order to claim an exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes or backup withholding taxes, then each such beneficial owner or equity owner shall be considered to be the Administrative Agent, a Funding Agent, a Program Support Provider or a member of a Purchaser Group for purposes of Section 6.2(g).
          Section 6.3 Break Funding Payments. BTF agrees to indemnify each Purchaser Group and to hold each Purchaser Group harmless from any loss or expense which such Purchaser Group may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by BTF to accept any Increase or the failure of the continuation or conversion of a Eurodollar Tranche to occur after BTF has given irrevocable notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Series Supplement, (b) the conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Tranche that occurs other than on the last day of the applicable Eurodollar Period, (c) default by BTF in making any prepayment in connection with a Decrease after BTF has given irrevocable notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5 or any Increase not being continued as, or converted into, an Increase under the Eurodollar Tranche after a request for such an Advance has been made in accordance with the terms contained herein, or (d) the making of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Tranche (including, without limitation, any Decrease) prior to the termination of the Eurodollar Period for such Eurodollar Tranche, as the case may be, or the making of a Decrease on a date other than as specified in any notice of a Decrease or in a greater amount than contained in any notice of a Decrease. Such indemnification shall include an amount determined by the Funding Agent with respect to such Purchaser Group and shall equal (a) in the case of the losses or expenses associated with a Eurodollar Tranche, either (x) the excess, if any, of (i) such Purchaser Group’s cost of funding the amount so prepaid or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the Eurodollar Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Eurodollar Period that would have commenced on the date of such prepayment or of such failure), as the case may be, over (ii) the amount of interest earned by such Purchaser Group upon redeployment of an amount of funds equal to the amount prepaid or not borrowed, converted or continued for a comparable period or (y) if such Purchaser Group is able to terminate the funding source before its scheduled maturity, any costs associated with such termination and (b) in the case of the losses or expenses incurred by a CP Conduit Purchaser, the losses and expenses incurred by such CP Conduit Purchaser in connection with the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such CP Conduit Purchaser as a result of a failure to accept an Increase, a default in the making of a Decrease or the making of a Decrease in an amount or on a date not contained in a notice of a Decrease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments made by BTF pursuant to this subsection shall be made solely from funds available in the Series 2006-1 Distribution Account for the payment of Article VI Costs, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such funds, and shall not constitute a claim

58


 

against BTF to the extent that such funds are insufficient to make such payment. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Series Supplement and the Base Indenture and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and thereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any Funding Agent on behalf of a Purchaser Group to BTF shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
          Section 6.4 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Eurodollar Period:
     (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period, or
     (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by any APA Bank that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Eurodollar Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such APA Bank of making or maintaining the Eurodollar Tranches during such Eurodollar Period,
then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to BTF and the Trustee, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies BTF and the Trustee that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Available APA Bank Funding Amount with respect to any Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (a) above) or with respect to the related Purchaser Group (in the case of clause (b) above) shall not be allocated to any Eurodollar Tranche.
          Section 6.5 Mitigation Obligations. If an Affected Party requests compensation under Section 6.1, or if BTF is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser Group or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser Group pursuant to Section 6.2, then, upon written notice from BTF, such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its obligations hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, which pays a price for such assignment which is acceptable to such Purchaser Group and its assignee, in the judgment of such Affected Party or Purchaser Group, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Party or Purchaser Group to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Party or Purchaser Group. BTF hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Party or Purchaser Group in connection with any such designation or assignment.

          Section 8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to BTF or the Administrator), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.

63


 

act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor or the Administrator shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any such Person. Each of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other CP Conduit Purchaser, APA Bank or Funding Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor and the Administrator and made its own decision to enter into this Series Supplement. Each of the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other CP Conduit Purchaser, APA Bank or Funding Agent, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Series Supplement and the other Related Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor and the Administrator. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Funding Agents by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any CP Conduit Purchaser, any APA Bank or any Funding Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of BTF, the Lessee, the Guarantor or the Administrator which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
          Section 8.7 Indemnification.

The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with BTF, the Administrator or any of their Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to any Series 2006-1 Note held by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Series Supplement and the other Related Documents as any APA Bank or Funding Agent and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “APA Bank,” and “Funding Agent” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
          Section 8.9 Resignation of Administrative Agent; Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to the Funding Agents, the Trustee, BTF and the Administrator. If DBSI shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Series Supplement, then the Series 2006-1 Required Noteholders shall appoint a successor administrative agent from among the Funding Agents, which successor administrative agent shall be approved by BTF and the Administrator (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Series Supplement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Administrator shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Series 2006-1 Required Noteholders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of Section 2.7 and this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Series Supplement.

Definitions. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Demand Note shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture, dated as of May 11, 2006 (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, exclusive of Series Supplements thereto creating a new Series of Notes, the “Base Indenture”), between Budget Truck Funding, LLC and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Series 2006-1 Supplement, dated as of May 11, 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Series 2006-1 Supplement”), among Budget Truck Funding, LLC, Budget Truck Rental, LLC, as Administrator, Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., as Administrative Agent, the CP Conduit Purchasers, the APA Banks and the Funding Agents named therein and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee and Series 2006-1 Agent.
Principal. The outstanding principal balance (or any portion thereof) of this Demand Note shall be due and payable on each Demand Date to the extent demand is made therefor by Holder. No portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Demand Note may be voluntarily prepaid.
Interest. Interest shall be paid monthly on the 20th day (or the first Business Day thereafter) of each calendar month commencing [                    ,     ]. In addition, interest shall be paid on each Demand Date to the extent demand is made therefor.
Calculation of Principal and Interest. The interest shall be computed on a monthly basis by applying the Interest Rate effective for the Series 2006-1 Interest Period to the outstanding principal balance for such Series 2006-1 Interest Period. The outstanding principal balance as of any day shall be the outstanding principal balance as of the beginning of such day, less any payments of principal credited to the Demand Note Issuer’s account on that day. The records of Holder with respect to amounts due and payments received hereunder shall be presumed to be correct evidence thereof.

 


 

EXHIBIT G
Maturity Date. On the Demand Date on which payment of the remaining principal balance of this Demand Note is to be made, or such earlier date as payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be due, whether by mandatory prepayment, acceleration or otherwise (the “Maturity Date”), the entire outstanding principal balance of this Demand Note, together with accrued interest and any other sums then outstanding under this Demand Note, shall be due and payable.
Payments. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in immediately available funds and shall be applied first to fees and costs, including collection costs, if any, next to interest and then to principal.

Such costs of collection shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined below) until paid.
Default. (a) If the Demand Note Issuer shall fail to pay any principal, interest or other amounts on the date of written demand for payment; provided that such demand is made prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, or on the next Business Day if written demand is made on or after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, or (b) upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to the Demand Note Issuer (each, an “Event of Default”), the entire outstanding principal balance of this Demand Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall (x) in the case of an Event of Default under clause (a) above, at the option of Holder and without further notice (any notice of such event being hereby waived by the Demand Note Issuer), or (y) in the case of an Event of Default under clause (b) above, automatically without notice (any notice of any such event being waived by the Demand Note Issuer), become immediately due and payable and may be collected forthwith, and Holder may exercise any and all rights and remedies provided herein, in law or in equity.
Default Interest. After the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Demand Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrued and unpaid interest, shall bear interest (the “Default Rate”) at the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) until paid in full, provided, however, in no event shall such rate exceed the highest rate permissible under applicable law.

EXHIBIT G
Holder, nor shall any waiver by Holder of any such right or rights on any one occasion be deemed a bar to, or waiver of, the same right or rights on any future occasion. Acceptance by Holder of any payment after its due date shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to require prompt payment when due of all other sums, and acceptance of any payment after Holder has declared the indebtedness evidenced by this Demand Note due and payable shall not cure any Event of Default or operate as a waiver of any right of Holder.
Modifications. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Demand Note shall in any event be effective unless (a) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by each of Holder and the Demand Note Issuer, and (b) all consents required for such actions under the Base Indenture and the Related Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

MASTER MOTOR VEHICLE
OPERATING LEASE AGREEMENT
     This Master Motor Vehicle Operating Lease Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 11, 2006, is made by and among BUDGET TRUCK FUNDING, LLC (“BTF”), a Delaware limited liability company (the “Lessor”), BUDGET TRUCK RENTAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BTR”), as lessee (the “Lessee”) and as administrator (the “Administrator”), and AVIS BUDGET CAR RENTAL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ABCR”), as guarantor (the “Guarantor”).
W I T N E S S E T H :
     WHEREAS, the Lessor intends to purchase trucks (the “Trucks”) that are manufactured by Eligible Truck Manufacturers with the proceeds obtained by the issuance of the Series 2006-1 Notes pursuant to the Base Indenture (referred to below) and the Series 2006-1 Supplement thereto and any additional Series of Notes issued from time to time under the Base Indenture and related Series Supplements thereto.
     WHEREAS, the Lessor desires to lease to the Lessee and the Lessee desires to lease from the Lessor the BTF Trucks set forth on Attachments A hereto for use in the daily rental business of the Lessee; and
     WHEREAS, the Guarantor has, pursuant to Section 22 hereof, guaranteed the obligations of the Lessee under this Agreement;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
     1. DEFINITIONS. Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used herein (including the preamble and recitals hereto) shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Definitions List attached as Annex I to the Base Indenture, dated as of May 11, 2006 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Lessor, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, as such Definitions List may from time to time be amended in accordance with the Base Indenture.
     2. GENERAL AGREEMENT. (a) The Lessee and the Lessor intend that this Agreement is an operating lease and that the relationship between the Lessor and the Lessee pursuant hereto shall always be only that of lessor and lessee, and the Lessee hereby declares, acknowledges and agrees that the Lessor is the owner of, and the Lessor holds legal title to, the BTF Trucks. The Lessee shall not acquire by virtue of this Agreement any right, equity, title or interest in or to any BTF Trucks, except the right to use the same under the terms hereof. The

 


 

parties agree that this Agreement is a “true lease” and agree to treat this Agreement as a lease for all purposes, including tax, accounting and otherwise and each party hereto will take no position on its tax returns and filings contrary to the position that the Lessor is the owner of the BTF Trucks for federal and state income tax purposes.
     (b) If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this Agreement, this Agreement is characterized by any third party as a financing arrangement or as otherwise not constituting a “true lease,” then it is the intention of the parties that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and, to secure all of its obligations under this Agreement, the Lessee hereby grants to the Lessor a security interest in all of the Lessee’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to all of the following assets, property and interests in property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or created:

     (ii) all BTF Trucks which, notwithstanding that this Agreement is intended to convey only a leasehold interest, are determined to be owned by the Lessee, and all Certificates of Title with respect to the BTF Trucks;
     (iii) all right, title and interest of the Lessee in and to any proceeds from the sale of BTF Trucks which, notwithstanding that this Agreement is intended to convey only a leasehold interest, are determined to be owned by the Lessee, including all monies due in respect of such BTF Trucks, whether payable as the purchase price of such BTF Trucks or as fees, expenses, costs, indemnities, insurance recoveries or otherwise;

     (iv) all payments under insurance policies (whether or not the Lessor or the Trustee is named as the loss payee thereof) or any warranty payable by reason of loss or damage to, or otherwise with respect to, any of the BTF Trucks;
     (v) all additional property that may from time to time hereafter be subjected to the grant and pledge under this Agreement, as same may be modified or supplemented from time to time, by the Lessee or by anyone on its behalf; and
     (vi) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing including, without limitation, payments under insurance (whether or not the Lessor is named as the loss payee thereof) and cash.
     (c) To secure the Note Obligations, the Lessee hereby grants to the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in all of the Lessee’s right, title and interest, if any, in and to all of the collateral described in Section 2(b) above, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or created. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default and subject to the provisions of the Related Documents, the Trustee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party, including, without limitation, the rights and remedies granted under the UCC.
     (d) The Lessee agrees to deliver to the Lessor and the Trustee on or before the Initial Closing Date:
     (i) a written search report from a Person satisfactory to the Lessor and the Trustee listing all effective financing statements that name the Lessee as debtor or assignor, and that are filed in the jurisdictions in which filings were made pursuant to clause (ii) below, together with copies of such financing statements, and tax and judgment lien search reports from a Person satisfactory to the Lessor and the Trustee showing no evidence of liens filed against the Lessee that purport to affect any BTF Trucks or any Collateral under the Base Indenture;
     (ii) evidence of the filing in the State of Delaware of proper financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming the Lessee, as debtor, and the Lessor, as secured party, covering the collateral described in Section 2(b) hereof; and

In addition, each Lessee shall provide such other information regarding such Trucks as the Lessor may reasonably require from time to time. The Lessor shall lease to the Lessees, and the Lessees shall lease from the Lessor, only Trucks that are Eligible Trucks. This Agreement and any other related documents attached to this Agreement (collectively, the “Supplemental Documents”), will constitute the entire agreement regarding the leasing of BTF Trucks by the Lessor to the Lessee.
          2.2. Right of Lessees to Act as Lessor’s Agent.

In addition, the Lessor agrees that the Lessee may make arrangements for delivery of Trucks to a location selected by the Lessee at the Lessee’s expense. The Lessee may accept or reject Eligible Trucks upon delivery in accordance with the Lessee’s customary business practices, and any Eligible Trucks, if rejected, will be deemed a Casualty hereunder. The Lessee, acting as agent for the Lessor, shall be responsible for pursuing any rights of the Lessor with respect to the return of any Eligible Trucks to the manufacturer thereof pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Lessee agrees that all Trucks ordered as provided herein shall be Eligible Vehicles.
     (b) The Lessee, acting as agent for the Lessor, shall be responsible for complying with the Titling Procedures for all BTF Trucks promptly upon the acquisition thereof (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after such acquisition).
          2.3. Payment of Purchase Price by Lessor. Upon receipt of the manufacturer’s invoice and certificate of origin in respect of any new Truck, the Lessor or its agent shall pay or cause to be paid to the related manufacturer the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of such Truck as established by the invoice of the manufacturer (the “Initial Acquisition Cost”), for such Truck and the Lessee shall pay all applicable costs and expenses of freight, packing, handling, storage, shipment and delivery of such Truck to the extent that the same have not been included within the Initial Acquisition Cost.
          2.4. Non-Liability of Lessor. The Lessor shall not be liable to the Lessee for any failure or delay in making delivery of BTF Trucks. AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE, ACCEPTANCE FOR LEASE OF THE BTF TRUCKS LEASED BY THE LESSEE SHALL CONSTITUTE THE LESSEE’S ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT THAT THE LESSEE HAS FULLY INSPECTED SUCH BTF TRUCKS, THAT SUCH BTF TRUCKS ARE IN GOOD ORDER AND CONDITION AND ARE OF THE MANUFACTURE, DESIGN, SPECIFICATIONS AND CAPACITY REQUIRED BY THE LESSEE, THAT THE LESSEE IS SATISFIED THAT THE SAME ARE SUITABLE FOR THIS USE AND THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER OR ENGAGED IN THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF BTF TRUCKS, AND HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT HEREBY MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT WITH RESPECT TO MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, DURABILITY OR SUITABILITY OF THE BTF

TRUCK IN ANY RESPECT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR FOR THE PURPOSES OR USES OF THE LESSEE, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT THERETO. The Lessor shall not be liable for any failure or delay in delivering any BTF Truck leased pursuant to this Agreement, or for any failure to perform any provision hereof, resulting from fire or other casualty, natural disaster, riot, strike or other labor difficulty, governmental regulation or restriction, or any cause beyond the Lessor’s direct control. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LESSOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR ANY OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN OR ANY THEFT, DAMAGE, LOSS OR FAILURE OF ANY BTF TRUCK, AND THERE SHALL BE NO ABATEMENT OF MONTHLY BASE RENT, SUPPLEMENTAL RENT OR OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER BECAUSE OF THE SAME.
          2.5. Lessee’s Rights to Purchase BTF Trucks.

The Lessor may request title to any such BTF Truck to be transferred to the Lessee and the Administrator shall request the Trustee to remove notation of its Lien (or, if applicable, to cause any Nominee Lienholder to remove notation of its Lien) from the Certificate of Title for such BTF Truck, concurrently with or promptly after the Vehicle Purchase Price for such BTF Truck (and any such unpaid Monthly Base Rent and Supplemental Rent) is deposited in the Collection Account.
          2.6. Lessor’s Right to Cause BTF Trucks to be Sold. If the Lessee does not elect to purchase any BTF Truck leased by the Lessee hereunder pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, then:
     (a) The Lessee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the sale of each BTF Truck to a third party for the Vehicle Purchase Price with respect to such BTF Truck on or prior to the applicable Vehicle Lease Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the disposition of a BTF Truck by the Lessee prior to the applicable Vehicle Lease Expiration Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all accrued and unpaid Monthly Base Rent and any Supplemental Rent then due and payable with respect to such BTF Truck through the Distribution Date with respect to the Related Month during which such disposition occurred, unless such BTF Truck is a Casualty, payment for which will be made in accordance with Section 6 hereof. If a sale of such BTF Truck is arranged by the Lessee pursuant to this Section 2.6(a), then (i) the Lessee shall deliver the BTF Truck to the purchaser thereof, (ii) the Lessee shall cause to be delivered to the Lessor the funds paid for such BTF Truck by the purchaser and (iii) if applicable, the Administrator shall request the Trustee to remove notation of its Lien (or, if applicable, to cause any

     6. RISK OF LOSS: CASUALTY OBLIGATIONS.
          6.1. Risk of Loss Borne by Lessee. Upon delivery of each BTF Truck to the Lessee, as between the Lessor and the Lessee, the Lessee assumes and bears the risk of loss, damage, theft, taking, destruction, attachment, seizure, confiscation or requisition with respect to such BTF Truck, however caused or occasioned, and all other risks and liabilities, including personal injury or death and property damage, arising with respect to such BTF Truck due to the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, leasing, subleasing, possession, use, inspection, registration, operation, condition, maintenance, repair, storage, sale, return or other disposition of such BTF Truck, howsoever arising.
          6.2. Casualty. If a BTF Truck becomes a Casualty, then the Lessee will (i) promptly notify the Lessor thereof and (ii) promptly, but in no event later than the Distribution Date with respect to the Related Month during which such BTF Truck became a Casualty, pay to the Lessor the Termination Value of such BTF Truck (as of the date such BTF Truck became a Casualty). Upon payment by the Lessee to the Lessor of the Termination Value of any BTF Truck that has become a Casualty (i) the Lessor shall cause title to such BTF Truck to be transferred to the Lessee to facilitate liquidation of such BTF Truck by the Lessee, (ii) the Lessee shall be entitled to any physical damage insurance proceeds applicable to such BTF Truck and (iii) the Administrator shall request the Trustee to remove notation of its Lien (or, if applicable, to cause any Nominee Lienholder to remove notation of its Lien) from the Certificate of Title for such BTF Truck.
     7. BTF TRUCK USE. So long as no Lease Event of Default, Liquidation Event of Default or Limited Liquidation Event of Default has occurred (subject, however, to Section 2.5 hereof), the Lessee may use BTF Trucks leased hereunder in its regular course of business. Such use shall be confined solely to the United States, and the principal place of business or rental office of the Lessee with respect to the BTF Trucks shall be located in the United States. The Administrator shall promptly and duly execute, deliver, file and record all such documents, statements, filings and registrations and take such further actions as the Lessor or the Trustee shall from time to time reasonably request in order to establish, perfect and maintain the Lessor’s rights to and interest in the BTF Trucks and the Certificates of Title as against the Lessee or any third party in any applicable jurisdiction and to establish, perfect and maintain the Trustee’s Lien on the BTF Trucks and the Certificates of Title as a perfected first lien in any applicable jurisdiction. The Lessee may, at its sole expense, change the place of principal location of any BTF Trucks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no change of location shall be undertaken unless and until (x) all actions necessary to maintain the Lien of the Trustee on such BTF Trucks and the Certificates of Title with respect to such BTF Trucks shall have been taken and (y) all legal requirements applicable to such BTF Trucks shall have been met or obtained. Following the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a Liquidation Event of Default, the Lessee shall advise the Lessor in writing where all BTF Trucks leased hereunder as of such date are principally located. The Lessee shall not knowingly use any BTF Trucks or knowingly permit the same to be used for any unlawful purpose. The Lessee shall use reasonable precautions to prevent loss or damage to BTF Trucks. The Lessee shall comply with all applicable statutes, decrees, ordinances and regulations regarding acquiring, titling, registering, leasing, insuring and disposing of BTF Trucks and shall take reasonable steps to

9


 

ensure that operators are licensed. The Lessee and the Lessor agree that the Lessee shall perform, at the Lessee’s own expense, such BTF Truck preparation and conditioning services with respect to BTF Trucks leased by the Lessee hereunder as are customary. The Lessor or the Trustee or any authorized representative of the Lessor or the Trustee may during reasonable business hours from time to time, without disruption of the Lessee’s business, subject to applicable law, inspect BTF Trucks and registration certificates, Certificates of Title and related documents covering BTF Trucks wherever the same be located. The Lessee shall not sublease any BTF Trucks or assign any right or interest herein or in any BTF Trucks; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit the Lessee from renting BTF Trucks to third party customers in the ordinary course of its business.
     8. LIENS. Except for Permitted Liens, the Lessee shall keep all BTF Trucks leased by it hereunder free of all Liens arising during the Term. Upon the Vehicle Lease Expiration Date for each BTF Truck, should any such Lien exist on such BTF Truck, the Lessor may, in its discretion, remove such Lien, and any sum of money that may be paid by the Lessor in release or discharge thereof, including attorneys’ fees and costs, will be paid by the Lessee upon demand by the Lessor. The Lessor may grant security interests in the BTF Trucks leased by the Lessee hereunder without consent of the Lessee; provided, however, that if any such Liens would interfere with the rights of the Lessee under this Agreement, the Lessor must obtain the prior written consent of the Lessee. The Lessee agrees and acknowledges that the granting of Liens and the taking of other actions pursuant to the Indenture and the other Related Documents does not interfere with the rights of the Lessee under this Agreement.
     9. NON-DISTURBANCE. So long as the Lessee satisfies its obligations hereunder, its quiet enjoyment, possession and use of the BTF Trucks leased by the Lessee hereunder will not be disturbed during the Term, subject, however, to Sections 2.6 and 18 hereof and except that the Lessor and the Trustee each retains the right, but not the duty, to inspect the BTF Trucks without disturbing the ordinary conduct of the Lessee’s business. Upon the request of the Lessor or the Trustee from time to time, the Lessee will make reasonable efforts to confirm to the Lessor and the Trustee the location, mileage and condition of each BTF Truck leased by the Lessee hereunder and to make available for the Lessor’s or the Trustee’s inspection within a reasonable time period, not to exceed 45 days, the BTF Trucks at the location where such BTF Trucks are normally domiciled. Further, the Lessee will, during normal business hours and with a notice of three Business Days, make its records pertaining to the BTF Trucks available to the Lessor or the Trustee for inspection at the location where the Lessee’s records are normally domiciled.
     10. REGISTRATION; LICENSE; TRAFFIC SUMMONSES; PENALTIES AND FINES. The Lessee, at its expense, shall be responsible for proper registration and licensing of the BTF Trucks and titling of the BTF Trucks in the name of the Lessor (with the Lien of the Trustee, in its name or in the name of a Nominee Lienholder, on behalf of the Trustee, noted thereon), and, where required, shall have such BTF Trucks inspected by any appropriate governmental authority; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, possession of all Certificates of Title shall at all times remain with the Administrator, or an Affiliate of the Administrator identified to the Trustee in writing, which will hold such Certificates of Title in its capacity as agent for the Lessor and on behalf of the Trustee. The Lessee shall be responsible for the payment of all registration fees, title fees, license fees, traffic summonses, penalties,

10


 

judgments and fines incurred with respect to any BTF Truck during the Vehicle Term for such BTF Truck or imposed during the Vehicle Term for such BTF Truck by any Governmental Authority or any court of law or equity with respect to such BTF Trucks in connection with the Lessee’s operation of such BTF Trucks. The Lessor agrees to execute a power of attorney in substantially the form of Attachment C hereto (each, a “Power of Attorney”), and such other documents as may be necessary in order to allow the Lessee to title, register and dispose of the BTF Trucks leased hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that possession of all Certificates of Title shall at all times remain with the Administrator or its Affiliate identified to the Trustee in writing which will hold such Certificates of Title in its capacity as agent for the Lessor and on behalf of the Trustee, and the Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it has no right, title or interest in or with respect to any Certificate of Title. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lessor may terminate such Power of Attorney as provided in Section 18.3(iii) hereof.
     11. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. The Lessee shall pay for all maintenance and repairs to keep BTF Trucks in good working order and condition, and the Lessee will maintain the BTF Trucks as required in order to keep the manufacturer’s warranty in force. The Lessee will return BTF Trucks to a facility authorized by the manufacturer of such BTF Truck or the Lessee’s warranty station authorized by the manufacturer of such BTF Truck for warranty work. The Lessee will comply with any manufacturer’s recall of any BTF Truck. The Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all usual and routine expenses incurred in the use and operation of BTF Trucks including, but not limited to, fuel, lubricants, and coolants. The Lessee agrees that it shall not make any material alterations to any BTF Trucks without the prior consent of the Lessor. Any improvements or additions to any BTF Trucks shall become and remain the property of the Lessor, except that any addition to BTF Trucks made by the Lessee shall remain the property of the Lessee if such addition can be disconnected from such BTF Trucks without impairing the functioning of such BTF Trucks or its resale value, excluding such addition.
     12. BTF TRUCK WARRANTIES.
          12.1. No Lessor Warranties. THE LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LESSOR IS NOT THE MANUFACTURER, THE AGENT OF THE MANUFACTURER, OR THE DISTRIBUTOR OF THE BTF TRUCKS LEASED BY THE LESSEE HEREUNDER. THE LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE FITNESS, SAFENESS, DESIGN, MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION, QUALITY, CAPACITY OR WORKMANSHIP OF THE BTF TRUCKS NOR ANY WARRANTY THAT THE BTF TRUCKS WILL SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAW OR ANY CONTRACT SPECIFICATION, AND AS BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND THE LESSEE, THE LESSEE AGREES TO BEAR ALL SUCH RISKS AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE. THE LESSEE SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO MAKE CLAIMS AGAINST THE LESSOR AND ANY BTF TRUCK FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER AND, AS TO THE LESSOR, THE LESSEE LEASES THE BTF TRUCKS “AS IS.” IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LESSOR BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHATSOEVER OR HOWSOEVER CAUSED.

11


 

          12.2. Manufacturer’s Warranties. If a BTF Truck is covered by an manufacturer’s warranty, the Lessee, during the Vehicle Term for such BTF Truck, shall have the right to make any claims under such warranty which the Lessor could make.
     13. BTF TRUCK USAGE GUIDELINES AND RETURN; TRUCK SPECIAL DAMAGE PAYMENTS.
          13.1. Usage. As used herein “Truck Turn-In Condition” with respect to each BTF Truck shall mean such BTF Truck shall have no: body dents, rust, corrosion; dented, rusted, broken, missing chrome or trim; ripped or stained upholstery, seats, dash, headliner or carpeting; missing interior trim; sprung or misaligned doors or their openings; worn, cracked, split, broken or leaking weather-stripping; faulty window mechanisms; broken, cracked, missing glass, mirrors or lights; faulty electronic systems, including on-board computers, processors, sensors, controls, radios, stereos, and the like; faulty heating, air conditioning or climate control systems; worn or faulty shock absorbers or other suspension or steering parts, systems or mechanisms, excessively worn tires; or any other condition that adversely affects the appearance or operating condition of such BTF Truck, in each case other than any such condition that would reasonably be considered to be normal wear and tear or otherwise de minimis by a purchaser of such BTF Truck.

(a) The Lessee will use its best efforts to maintain the BTF Trucks in a manner such that no Truck Special Damage Payments (as defined below) shall be due upon disposition of the BTF Trucks by or for the benefit of the Lessor. Upon disposition of each BTF Truck leased hereunder by or for the benefit of the Lessor, other than the sale of any BTF Truck to the Lessee in accordance with the terms hereof, if such BTF Truck fails to satisfy the Truck Turn-In Condition standard established pursuant to Section 13.l, the Lessor will charge the Lessee for the amount that the Administrator estimates in good faith to be the reduction in the saleable value of such BTF Truck as a result of such failure to satisfy the Truck Turn-In Condition Standard (any such amounts are referred to as the “Truck Special Damage Payments”).
     (b) On each Distribution Date, the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor all Truck Special Damage Payments that have accrued during the Related Month.

The provisions of this Section 13.2 will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
     14. DISPOSITION PROCEDURE. The Lessee shall comply with the requirements of law in connection with, among other things, the delivery of Certificates of Title and documents of transfer signed as necessary, and signed odometer statements to be submitted with the BTF Trucks upon any disposition thereof pursuant to the terms hereof.

The Lessee agrees to comply with all requirements of law with respect to BTF Trucks in connection with the transfer of ownership by the Lessor of any BTF Truck, including, without limitation, the submission of any required odometer disclosure statement at the time of any such transfer of ownership.

     (i) any tax on, based on, with respect to, or measured by net income (including federal alternative minimum tax), other than any taxes or other charges which may be imposed as a result of any determination by a taxing authority that the Lessor is not the owner for tax purposes of the BTF Trucks leased hereunder or that this Agreement is not a “true lease” for tax purposes or that depreciation deductions that would be available to the owner of such BTF Trucks are disallowed, or that the Lessor is not entitled to include the full purchase price for any such BTF Truck in basis including any amounts payable in respect of interest charges, additions to tax and penalties that may be imposed, and all attorneys and accountants fees and expenses and all other fees and expenses that may be incurred in defending against or contesting any such determination;

ing new interpretations thereof), adopted or promulgated after the Initial Closing Date or, if later, the date the Trustee acquires its interest (A) in the BTF Trucks leased hereunder, (B) the Indenture, (C) the Assignment Agreements, or (D) any other related operative documents that causes it to be an Indemnified Person hereunder unless such a tax is enacted, adopted or promulgated as a tax in lieu of, or in substitution for a tax not otherwise indemnifiable hereunder;
     (iii) any tax with respect to any BTF Truck leased by the Lessee hereunder or any transaction relating to such BTF Truck to the extent it covers any period beginning after the earlier of (A) the discharge in full of the Lessee’s obligation to pay Monthly Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and any other amount payable hereunder with respect to such BTF Truck or (B) the expiration or other termination of this Agreement with respect to such BTF Truck, unless such tax accrues in respect of any period during which the Lessee holds over such BTF Truck; and
     (iv) any tax that is imposed on an Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates, to the extent that such tax results from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or such Affiliates;
     16.1.3. any violation by the Lessee or the Guarantor of this Agreement or of any Related Documents to which the Lessee or the Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound or of any laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees, consents, approvals, exemptions, authorizations, licenses and withholdings of objecting of any governmental or public body or authority and all other requirements having the force of law applicable at any time to any BTF Truck leased hereunder or any action or transaction by the Lessee or the Guarantor with respect thereto or pursuant to this Agreement;
     16.1.4. all out of pocket costs of the Lessor (including the fees and out of pocket expenses of counsel for the Lessor) in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Related Documents;
     16.1.5. all out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Lessor or the Trustee in connection with the administration, enforcement, waiver or amendment of this Agreement and any other Related Documents and all indemnification obligations of the Lessor under the Related Documents; and
     16.1.6. all costs, fees, expenses, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, the fees and out of pocket expenses of counsel) in connection with, or arising out of, any claim made by any third party against the Lessor for any reason.
If the Lessor shall actually receive any tax benefit (whether by way of offset, credit, deduction, refund or otherwise) not already taken into account in calculating the net after-tax basis for such payment as a result of the payment of any tax indemnified pursuant to this Section 16 or in connection with the circumstances giving rise, to the imposition of

14


 

such tax, such tax benefit shall be used to offset any indemnity payment owed pursuant to this Section 16 or shall be paid to the Lessee or the Guarantor, as applicable (but only to the extent of any prior indemnity payments actually made pursuant to this Section 16 and only after the Lessor shall actually receive such tax benefits), provided, however, that no such payment to the Lessee or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall be made while any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
          16.2. Reimbursement Obligation by the Lessee and the Guarantor. The Lessee and the Guarantor shall forthwith upon demand reimburse the Lessor or the relevant Indemnified Person for any sum or sums expended with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that, if so requested by the Lessee or the Guarantor, the Lessor shall submit to the Lessee or the Guarantor, as applicable, a statement documenting any such demand for reimbursement or prepayment. To the extent that the Lessee or the Guarantor in fact indemnifies the Lessor under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement, the Lessee or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall be subrogated to the Lessor’s rights in the affected transaction and shall have a right to determine the settlement of claims therein. The foregoing indemnity as contained in this Section 16 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement or any lease of any BTF Truck hereunder.
          16.3. Defense of Claims. The Lessor agrees to notify the Lessee of any claim made against it for which the Lessee may be liable pursuant to this Section 16 and, if the Lessee requests, to contest or allow the Lessee to contest such claim. If any Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no contest shall be required, and any contest which has begun shall not be required to be continued to be pursued, unless arrangements to secure the payment of the Lessee’s obligations pursuant to this Section 16 hereunder have been made and such arrangements are reasonably satisfactory to the Lessor. The Lessor shall not settle any such claim without the Lessee’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Defense of any claim referred to in this Section 16 for which indemnity may be required shall, at the option and request of the Indemnified Person, be conducted by the Lessee or the Guarantor, as applicable. The Lessee or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will inform the Indemnified Person of any such claim and of the defense thereof and will provide copies of material documents relating to any such claim or defense to such Indemnified Person upon request. Such Indemnified Person may participate in any such defense at its own expense; provided such participation does not interfere with the Lessee’s or the Guarantor’s assertion of such claim or defense. The Lessee and the Guarantor agree that no Indemnified Person will be liable to the Lessee or the Guarantor, as applicable, for any claim caused directly or indirectly by the inadequacy of any BTF Truck leased for any purpose or any deficiency or defect therein or the use or maintenance thereof or any repairs, servicing or adjustments thereto or any delay in providing or failing to provide such repairs, servicing or adjustments or any interruption or loss of service or use thereof or any loss of business, all of which shall be the risk and responsibility of the Lessee or the Guarantor. The rights and indemnities of each Indemnified Person hereunder are expressly made for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person notwithstanding the fact that such Indemnified Person is either no longer a party to (or entitled to receive the benefits of) this Agreement, or was not a party to (or entitled to receive the benefits of) this Agreement at its outset. Except as otherwise set forth herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Lessee or the Guarantor to indemnify the Lessor for any of the

15


 

Lessor’s acts or omissions which constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct. This general indemnity shall not affect any claims of the type discussed above which the Lessee or the Guarantor may have against the manufacturer.
     17. ASSIGNMENT.
          17.1. Right of the Lessor to Assign this Agreement. The Lessor shall have the right to finance the acquisition and ownership of the BTF Trucks by selling or assigning, in whole or in part, its right, title and interest in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in moneys due from the Lessee, the Guarantor and any third party under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such sale or assignment shall be subject to the rights and interest of the Lessee in the BTF Trucks, including but not limited to the Lessee’s right of quiet and peaceful possession of the BTF Trucks as set forth in Section 9 hereof, and under this Agreement.
          17.2. Limitations on the Right of the Lessee to Assign this Agreement. The Lessee agrees that it shall not, without prior written consent of the Lessor and the consent of the Required Noteholders of each Series of Notes Outstanding, assign this Agreement or any of its rights hereunder to any other party; provided, however, that the Lessee may rent the BTF Trucks under the terms of its normal daily rental programs. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 17.2 shall be void and of no force or effect. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of the Lessee to acquire or dispose of, by purchase, lease, financing, or otherwise, motor vehicles that are not subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
     18. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES THEREFOR.
          18.1. Events of Default. Any one or more of the following will constitute an event of default (a “Lease Event of Default”) as that term is used herein:
     18.1.1. there occurs a default in the payment of any portion of Monthly Base Rent or Supplemental Rent and the continuance thereof for a period of five Business Days;
     18.1.2. any unauthorized assignment or transfer of this Agreement by the Lessee or the Guarantor occurs;

     18.1.4. the failure of the Lessee and the Guarantor to observe or perform any other covenant, condition, agreement or provision hereof, including, but not limited to, usage, and maintenance, and such default continues for more than 30 days after the date the Lessee or Guarantor has actual knowledge of such default or written notice thereof is delivered by the Lessor or the Trustee to the Lessee or the Guarantor;
     18.1.5. if any representation or warranty made by the Lessee or the Guarantor herein is inaccurate or incorrect or is breached or is false or misleading in any material respect as of the date of the making thereof or any schedule, certificate, financial state-

16


 

ment, report, notice, or other writing furnished by or on behalf of the Lessee or the Guarantor to the Lessor or the Trustee is false or misleading in any material respect on the date as of which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified, and the circumstance or condition in respect of which such representation, warranty or writing was inaccurate, incorrect, breached, false or misleading in any material respect, as the case may be, shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured for 30 days after the earlier of (x) the date of the receipt of written notice thereof from the Lessor or the Trustee to the Guarantor or the Lessee and (y) the date the Guarantor or the Lessee learns of such circumstance or condition;
     18.1.6. an Event of Bankruptcy occurs with respect to the Lessee, the Guarantor, the Administrator or BRAC;

          18.2. Effect of Lease Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default. If any Lease Event of Default described in Section 18 or any Liquidation Event of Default shall occur, the Lessor, acting at the direction of the Trustee may terminate this Agreement and then (x) any accrued and unpaid Monthly Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other charges and payments accrued but unpaid under this Agreement (calculated as if the full amount of interest on the Notes was then due and payable in full) shall, automatically, without further action by the Lessor or the Trustee, become immediately due and payable and (y) the Lessee shall, at the request of the Lessor or the Trustee, return or cause to be returned all BTF Trucks (and the Administrator shall deliver to the Trustee the Certificates of Title relating thereto) to the Lessor or the Trustee.
          18.3. Rights of Lessor Upon Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default. If a Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default shall occur, then the Lessor or the Trustee at its option may:
     (i) Proceed by appropriate court action or actions, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance by the Lessee or the Guarantor of the applicable covenants and terms of this Agreement or to recover damages for the breach hereof calculated in accordance with Section 18.5; or

17


 

     (ii) By notice in writing to the Lessee, terminate this Agreement in its entirety and/or the right of possession hereunder of the Lessee of the BTF Trucks, and the Lessor or the Trustee may direct delivery by the Lessee or the Guarantor of documents of title to the BTF Trucks, whereupon all rights and interests of the Lessee or the Guarantor to the BTF Trucks will cease and terminate and the Guarantor will remain liable hereunder as herein provided, provided, however, that their liability will be calculated in accordance with Section 18.5); and thereupon, the Lessor or the Trustee or its agents may peaceably enter upon the premises of the Lessee or other premises where the BTF Trucks may be located and take possession of them and thenceforth hold, possess and enjoy the same free from any right of the Lessee or the Guarantor, or their successors or assigns, to use the BTF Trucks for any purpose whatsoever, and the Lessor will, nevertheless, have a right to recover from the Lessee or the Guarantor any and all amounts which under the terms of this Section 18.3 (as limited by Section 18.5 of this Agreement) as may be then due. The Lessor will provide the Lessee with written notice of the place and time of any sale of BTF Trucks at least five days prior to the proposed sale, which shall be deemed commercially reasonable, and the Lessee may purchase such BTF Truck(s) at the sale. Each and every power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Lessor and the Trustee will be in addition to every other power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Lessor or the Trustee or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or in bankruptcy and each and every power and remedy may be exercised from time to time and simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Lessor or the Trustee; provided, however, that the measure of damages recoverable against the Lessee and the Guarantor will in any case be calculated in accordance with Section 18.5. All such powers and remedies will be cumulative, and the exercise of one will not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Lessor in the exercise of any such power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any payments due hereunder will impair any such power or remedy or will be construed to be a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein. Any extension of time for payment hereunder or other indulgence duly granted to the Lessee or the Guarantor will not otherwise alter or affect the Lessor’s rights or the obligations hereunder of the Lessee and the Guarantor. The Lessor’s acceptance of any payment after it will have become due hereunder will not be deemed to alter or affect the Lessor’s or the Trustee’s rights hereunder with respect to any subsequent payments or defaults therein; or
     (iii) By notice in writing to the Lessee, terminate the Power of Attorney.
     18.4. Rights of Trustee Upon Liquidation Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default and Non-Performance of Certain Covenants.
     (i) If a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessor and the Trustee, to the extent provided in the Indenture, shall have the rights against the Guarantor, the Lessee, and the Collateral provided in the Indenture, including the right to take possession of all or a portion of the BTF Trucks immediately from the Lessee.

18


 

     (ii) Upon a default in the performance (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods provided herein) by the Guarantor or the Lessee of its obligations hereunder to keep the BTF Trucks free of Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and to maintain the Trustee’s first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, the Lessor or the Trustee shall have the right to take actions reasonably necessary to correct such default with respect to the subject BTF Trucks including the execution of UCC financing statements with respect to general intangibles and the completion of Vehicle Perfection and Documentation Requirements on behalf of the Guarantor or the Lessee as applicable.
     (iii) Upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, the Lessee shall dispose of the BTF Trucks in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee. To the extent the Lessee fails to so dispose of any BTF Trucks, the Trustee shall have the right to otherwise dispose of such BTF Trucks. In addition, following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event of Default or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default, the Trustee shall have all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims vis-à-vis the Guarantor or the Lessee, necessary or desirable to allow the Trustee to exercise the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims set forth in Sections 3.3 and 9.2 of the Base Indenture and each of the Guarantor and the Lessee acknowledges that it has hereby granted to the Lessor all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims granted by the Lessor to the Trustee pursuant to Article 3 of the Base Indenture and that the Trustee may act in lieu of the Lessor in the exercise of such rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims.
          18.5. Measure of Damages. If a Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a Liquidation Event of Default occurs and the Lessor or the Trustee exercises the remedies granted to the Lessor or the Trustee under this Article 18, the amount that the Lessor shall be permitted to recover shall be equal to:
     (i) all Monthly Base Rent, all Supplemental Rent and all other amounts due and payable under this Agreement (calculated as provided in Section 18.2); plus
     (ii) any damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (but excluding net after-tax losses of federal and state income tax benefits to which the Lessor would otherwise be entitled as a result of this Agreement), which the Lessor or the Trustee will have sustained by reason of the Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default, together with reasonable sums for such attorneys’ fees and such expenses as will be expended or incurred in the seizure, storage, rental or sale of the BTF Trucks or in the enforcement of any right or privilege hereunder or in any consultation or action in such connection; plus
     (iii) interest on amounts due and unpaid under this Agreement at the applicable Carrying Cost Interest Rate plus 1.0% from time to time computed from the date of the Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default or the date payments were originally due to the Lessor under this Agreement or from the date of each expenditure by the Lessor which is recoverable from the Lessee

19


 

pursuant to this Section 18, as applicable, to and including the date payments are made by the Lessee.
          18.6. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale or other disposition pursuant to Section 18.2 or 18.3 shall be applied in the following order: (i) to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lessor in connection with such sale or disposition, including any reasonable costs associated with repairing any BTF Trucks, and reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) to the payment of outstanding Monthly Base Rent and Supplement Rent, (iii) to the payment of all other amounts due hereunder, and (iv) any remaining amounts to the Lessor, or such Person(s) as may be lawfully entitled thereto.
          18.7. Special Default. If on any Business Day, the Lessee or the Guarantor obtains actual knowledge that a BTF Truck included in the Borrowing Base is not titled in the name of BTF with the Trustee or a Nominee Titleholder noted as the first lienholder on the Certificate of Title for such BTF Truck (or, if such Business Day is on or before June 25, 2005, the Lessee or Guarantor obtains actual knowledge that the Titling Procedures (with respect to any BTF Truck for which an Oklahoma Certificate of Title has not been issued) have not been properly satisfied with respect to any BTF Truck included in the Borrowing Base), then the Lessee shall within three (3) Business Days make an application (or correct its application, as the case may be) with the Oklahoma Tax Commission (the “OTC”) or any Oklahoma motor vehicle license agent (“License Agent”) to properly title such BTF Truck in the name of BTF with a lien in favor of the Trustee (or a Nominee Titleholder, as the case may be). If the Lessee fails to perform under the preceding sentence by the close of business on the third Business Day after obtaining such knowledge, then the Lessee shall promptly, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, sell or purchase any improperly titled BTF Vehicles (or any such BTF Truck which respect to which the Titling Procedures have not been properly satisfied). If the proceeds of the sale of any such BTF Vehicle are less than the applicable Vehicle Purchase Price for such improperly titled BTF Truck, then the Lessee shall pay to BTF an amount equal to such deficiency; provided that if the Lessee purchases any such BTF Truck, it shall pay to the Lessor the applicable Vehicle Purchase Price therefor.
     19. CERTIFICATION OF TRADE OR BUSINESS USE. The Lessee hereby warrants and certifies, under penalties of perjury, that (i) it intends to use the BTF Trucks which are subject to this Agreement in its trade or business and (ii) it has been advised that it will not be treated as the owner of such BTF Trucks for federal tax income purposes.
     20. SURVIVAL. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, the Lessee or the Guarantor becomes liable for the payment or reimbursement of any obligations, claims or taxes pursuant to any provision hereof, such liability will continue, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement, until all such amounts are paid or reimbursed by the Lessee or the Guarantor.
     21. TITLE. This is an agreement to lease only and title to BTF Trucks will at all times remain in the Lessor’s name or in the name of a Nominee. Neither the Lessee nor the Guarantor will have any rights or interest in BTF Trucks whatsoever other than the right of possession and use as provided by this Agreement.

20


 

     22. GUARANTY.
          22.1. Guaranty. In order to induce the Lessor to execute and deliver this Agreement and to lease BTF Trucks to the Lessee, and in consideration thereof, the Guarantor hereby (i) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lessor the obligations of the Lessee to make any payments required to be made by them under this Agreement, (ii) agrees to cause the Lessee to duly and punctually perform and observe all of the terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and indemnities of the Lessee under this Agreement and (iii) agrees that, if for any reason whatsoever, the Lessee fails to so perform and observe such terms, conditions, covenants, agreements and indemnities, the Guarantor will duly and punctually perform and observe the same (the obligations referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above are collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor under the guaranty contained in this Section 22 (this “Guaranty”) will be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances. This Guaranty shall be a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely of collection, and the Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall not be required that the Lessor or the Trustee assert or enforce any rights against the Lessee or any other person before or as a condition to the obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.
          22.2. Scope of Guarantor’s Liability. The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, and the Lessor may enforce any of its rights hereunder independently of any other right or remedy that the Lessor may at any time hold with respect to this Agreement or any security or other guaranty therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lessor may bring a separate action against the Guarantor without first proceeding against the Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, or any security held by the Lessor, and regardless of whether the Lessee or any other guarantor or any other Person is joined in any such action. The Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall at all times remain effective with respect to the full amount due from the Lessee hereunder, notwithstanding any limitations on the liability of the Lessee to the Lessor contained in any of the Related Documents or elsewhere. The Lessor’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by any action taken by the Lessor until all Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid and performed. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of the Lessor shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall thereafter be required to be restored or returned by the Lessor upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid.
          22.3. Lessor’s Right to Amend this Agreement, Etc. The Guarantor hereby authorizes the Lessor, at any time and from time to time without notice and without affecting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, to: (a) alter the terms of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security and guaranties therefor including without limitation modification of times for payment and rates of interest; (b) accept new or additional instruments, documents, agreements, security or guaranties in connection with all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) accept partial payments on the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) waive, release, reconvey, terminate, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer, compound, compromise, liquidate and enforce all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security or guaranties therefor, and apply any such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof

21


 

(and bid and purchase at any such sale), as the Lessor in its discretion may determine; (e) release the Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person from any personal liability with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (f) assign its rights under this Guaranty in whole or in part.
     22.4. Waiver of Certain Rights by Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives each of the following to the fullest extent allowed by law:
     (a) all statutes of limitation as a defense to any action brought by the Lessor against the Guarantor;
     (b) any defense based upon:
     (i) the unenforceability or invalidity of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security or other guaranty for the Guaranteed Obligations or the lack of perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations;
     (ii) any act or omission of the Lessor or any other Person that directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of the Lessee or any other Person or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; or
     (iii) any disability or any other defense of the Lessee or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether consensual or arising by operation of law or any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor-relief proceeding, or from any other cause;
     (c) any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require the Lessor, as a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty, to:
     (i) accelerate the Guaranteed Obligations;
     (ii) give notice to the Guarantor of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; or
     (iii) proceed against the Lessee, any other guarantor or any other Person, or proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations;
     (d) all rights of subrogation, all rights to enforce any remedy that the Lessor now or hereafter has against the Lessee or any other Person, and any benefit of, and right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Lessor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations;
     (e) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, including without limitation notices of default and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty;

22


 

     (f) all suretyship defenses and rights of every nature otherwise available under New York law and the laws of any other jurisdiction; and
     (g) all other rights and defenses the assertion or exercise of which would in any way diminish the liability of the Guarantor hereunder.
          22.5. Guarantor to Pay Lessor’s Expenses. The Guarantor agrees to pay to the Lessor, on demand, all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ and other professional and paraprofessional fees, incurred by the Lessor in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Guaranty, or in the enforcement of this Guaranty, whether or not any action is filed in connection therewith. Until paid to the Lessor, such amounts shall bear interest, commencing with the Lessor’s demand therefor, at the Carrying Cost Interest Rate plus 2.0%.
          22.6. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the amounts payable by the Lessee under this Agreement is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lessor, upon an event of bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Lessee or the Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Lessee or the Guarantor or any substantial part of their respective property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
          22.7. Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Guarantor (i) represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty will rank pari passu with any existing unsecured indebtedness of the Guarantor and (ii) covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty will rank pari passu with any unsecured indebtedness of the Guarantor incurred after the date hereof.
     23. RIGHTS OF LESSOR ASSIGNED. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the Lessee and the Guarantor acknowledges that the Lessor has assigned all of its rights under this Agreement to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. Accordingly, each of the Lessee and the Guarantor agrees that:
     (i) Subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee shall have all the rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Lessor hereunder and the obligations of the Guarantor and of the Lessee hereunder (including with respect to the payment of Monthly Base Rent, Supplemental Rent and all other amounts payable hereunder) shall not be subject to any claim or defense which the Guarantor or the Lessee may have against the Lessor or, in the case of the Guarantor, the Lessee (other than the defense of payment actually made) and shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to any abatement, setoff, counterclaim, deduction or reduction for any reason whatsoever. Specifically, each of the Lessee and the Guarantor agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a Liquidation Event of Default, the Trustee may exercise (for and on behalf of the Lessor) any right or remedy against the Lessee or the Guarantor provided for herein and neither the Lessee nor the Guarantor will interpose as a defense that such claim should have been asserted by the Lessor;

23


 

     (ii) Upon the delivery by the Trustee of any notice to the Lessee or the Guarantor stating that a Lease Event of Default, a Limited Liquidation Event of Default or a Liquidation Event of Default has occurred, the Lessee or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will, if so requested by the Trustee, treat the Trustee or the Trustee’s designee for all purposes as the Lessor hereunder and in all respects comply with all obligations under this Agreement that are asserted by the Trustee as the successor to the Lessor hereunder, irrespective of whether the Lessee or the Guarantor has received any such notice from the Lessor; provided, however, that the Trustee shall in no event be liable to the Lessee for any action taken by it in its capacity as successor to the Lessor other than actions that constitute negligence or willful misconduct;
     (iii) Each of the Lessee and the Guarantor acknowledges that pursuant to the Indenture the Lessor has irrevocably authorized and directed the Lessee or the Guarantor to, and the Lessee and the Guarantor shall, make payments of Monthly Base Rent and Supplemental Rent hereunder (and any other payments hereunder) directly to the Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account established by the Trustee for receipt of such payments pursuant to the Indenture and such payments shall discharge the obligation of the Lessee and the Guarantor to the Lessor hereunder to the extent of such payments. Upon written notice to the Lessee or the Guarantor of a sale or assignment by the Trustee of its right, title and interest in moneys due under this Agreement to a successor Trustee, the Lessee or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall thereafter make payments of all Monthly Base Rent and Supplemental Rent (and any other payments hereunder) to the party specified in such notice;
     (iv) Upon request made by the Trustee at any time, each of the Lessee and the Guarantor shall take such actions as are requested by the Trustee to assist the Trustee in maintaining the Trustee’s first priority perfected security interest in this Agreement, the BTF Trucks, the Certificates of Title with respect thereto and any other Collateral; and
     (v) In the event that the Indenture terminates and all obligations owing under the Indenture have been paid in full, the Lessor shall have all rights under this Agreement previously assigned to the Trustee.

3


 

Administrator hereby accepts the duty to act as the agent of the Trustee as custodian of the Certificates of Title. The Trustee may revoke such agency at any time, and upon such revocation the Administrator shall promptly deliver all Certificates of Title to the Trustee.
          (ii) Following the Initial Closing Date, the Administrator shall deliver to the Trustee, the “Administrative Agent” under and as defined in each applicable Series Supplement (each, an “Administrative Agent”) and each Enhancement Provider, if any, a copy of its written procedures and standards for handling and monitoring vehicle titles, including procedures upon the acquisition and disposition of vehicles. The Administrator shall comply with such procedures and standards in performing its duties hereunder as custodian of the Certificates of Title. The Administrator, in its capacity as custodian, shall hold the Certificates of Title on behalf of the Trustee for the use and benefit of all present and future Secured Parties with an interest therein, and maintain such accurate and complete records (either original execution documents or copies of such originally executed documents shall be sufficient for such purposes), and computer systems pertaining to each Certificate of Title as shall enable the Trustee to comply with this Agreement and the other Related Documents. The Administrator shall promptly report to the Trustee any material failure on its part to hold the Certificates of Title and maintain its records, and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. The Administrator hereby consents to the inspection of the Certificates of Title from time to time by the Trustee or any authorized representative of the Trustee and to the provisions relating to the Administrator set forth in Section 7 of the BTF Lease. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Trustee of the Certificates of Title. The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts of the Administrator.
          (iii) The Administrator shall notify the Trustee and each Enhancement Provider, if any, of the initial location of the Certificates of Title and the related records and computer systems maintained by the Administrator and shall notify the Trustee and each Enhancement Provider, if any, prior to any change in location of the Certificates of Title and such related records and computer systems.
          (iv) Upon instruction from the Trustee, the Administrator shall release any Certificate of Title to the Trustee, at such place or places as the Trustee may reasonably designate as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event, a Liquidation Event of Default, or a Limited Liquidation Event of Default and at the request of the Trustee, the Administrator shall promptly deliver all Certificates of Title to the Trustee. In connection with any such instruction of the Trustee, the Administrator may, in lieu of delivering any original Certificates of Title, deliver copies thereof stored on microfiche, computer disk or on such other image storage or electronic media as the Administrator shall maintain in accordance with its customary practices and which is in a format acceptable to the Trustee; provided, however, that the Administrator shall deliver to the Trustee the original Certificates of Title if the Trustee so instructs the Administrator. The Administrator shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by the failure of the Trustee, its agent or its designee to return any Certificate of Title or any delay in doing so. All instructions from the Trustee shall be in writing and signed by a Trust Officer, and the Administrator shall be deemed to have received proper instructions with respect to the Certificates of Title upon its receipt of such written instruction. A certified copy of a by-law or of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the

4


 

Trustee shall constitute conclusive evidence of the authority of any such Trust Officer to act and shall be considered in full force and effect until receipt by the Administrator of written notice to the contrary given by the Trustee.
          (i) The Trustee hereby grants to the Administrator a power of attorney, with full power of substitution to take any and all actions, solely for the following limited purposes, in the name of the Trustee, (x) to note the Trustee as the holder of a first Lien on the Certificates of Title and/or otherwise ensure that the first Lien shown on any and all Certificates of Title is in the name of the Trustee and (y) to release the Lien in the name of the Trustee or the Nominee Lienholder on any Certificate of Title in connection with the sale or disposition of the related BTF Truck permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Related Documents. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as authorization from the Trustee to the Administrator to release any Lien on the Certificates of Title except upon compliance with the Related Documents. The Trustee shall have the right to terminate such power of attorney (including the related power granted pursuant to the following sentence) at any time by giving written notice to such effect to the Administrator. To further evidence such power of attorney, the Trustee agrees that upon request of the Administrator from time to time it will execute a separate power of attorney substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
          (c) Certain Duties with Respect to the BTF Lease. The Administrator agrees to perform its duties under the BTF Lease, including, but not limited to the following:
     (A) to promptly and duly execute, deliver, file and record all documents, statements, filings and registrations, and take such further actions as may be requested to establish, perfect and maintain the related Lessor’s title to and interest in, and the Trustee’s perfected first Lien in the name of the Trustee or the Nominee Lienholder on, the BTF Trucks and the Certificates of Title therefor pursuant to Section 7 of the BTF Lease,;
     (B) to determine the Truck Special Damage Payments applicable to BTF Trucks at the time of their sale, return or other disposition in accordance with the Related Documents pursuant to Section 13.2 of the BTF Lease;
     (C) to indicate on its computer records that the Trustee is the holder of a Lien on each BTF Truck leased under such Lease pursuant to Section 26.8 of the BTF Lease;
     (D) to arrange for the prompt sale of a BTF Truck and upon the sale of a BTF Truck, to request the Trustee to cause the Nominee Lienholder to remove notation of its Lien from the Certificate of Title therefor pursuant to Section 2.6(a) of the BTF Lease;
     (E) upon payment by the Lessee to the Lessor of the Termination Value of any BTF Truck that has become a Casualty or an Ineligible Truck, to (i) cause title to such BTF Truck to be transferred to the Lessee to facilitate liquidation of such BTF Truck by the Lessee and (ii) request the Trustee to cause the Nominee Lienholder to remove notation of its Lien from the Certificate of Title for such BTF Truck pursuant to Section 6.2 of the BTF Lease;

5


 

     (F) to make requests for, and to provide a statement documenting any request for, reimbursement or prepayment for costs identified therein pursuant to Section 16.2 of the BTF Lease;
     (G) to notify the Lessee of any claim made against it for which the Lessee or the Lessor may be liable and, upon request by the Lessee, to contest or allow the Lessee to contest such claim pursuant to Section 16.3 of the BTF Lease; and
     (H) upon a Lease Event of Default, Limited Liquidation Event of Default or Liquidation Event of Default, to pursue and enforce the rights of BTF thereunder pursuant to Section 18.3 of the BTF Lease.
          3. Additional Duties; Additional Information. Subject to Section 9 of this Agreement, and in accordance with the directions of any party hereto, the Administrator shall administer, perform or supervise the performance of such other activities in connection with the Collateral and the Related Documents as are not covered by any of the foregoing provisions and as are expressly requested by such party and are reasonably within the capability of the Administrator. The Administrator shall furnish to any party hereto from time to time such additional information regarding the Collateral as such party shall reasonably request.
          4. Records. The Administrator shall maintain appropriate books of account and records relating to services performed hereunder, which books of account and records shall be accessible for inspection by any party hereto at any time during normal business hours.
          5. Compensation. As compensation for the performance of the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement and, as reimbursement for its expenses related thereto, the Administrator shall be entitled to a fee in the amount of one-twelfth of the product of 0.50% and the Net Book Value of all BTF Trucks as of the first day of the applicable Related Month (the “Monthly Administration Fee”); provided, however, that if an Amortization Event with respect to any Series of Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the Monthly Administration Fee will equal the greater of (A) the amount of the Monthly Administration Fee calculated pursuant to the preceding clause, and (B) the product of (x) $20.00 and (y) the number of BTF Trucks as of the first day of the applicable Related Month. The Monthly Administration Fee shall be payable by BTF on each Distribution Date. In addition, the Administrator shall also be entitled to the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrator incurred by it as a result of arranging for the sale of any BTF Truck returned by the Lessee thereof to the applicable Lessor and sold to third parties; provided, however, that such costs and expenses shall be payable to the Administrator by such Lessor only to the extent of any excess of the sale price received by such Lessor for any such BTF Truck over the Termination Value thereof.
          6. Use of Subcontractors. The Administrator may contract with other Persons to assist it in performing its duties under this Agreement, and any performance of such duties by a Person identified to the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate of the Administrator shall be deemed to be action taken by the Administrator. Any such contract shall not relieve the Administrator of its liability and responsibility with respect to the duties to which such contract relates.

6


 

          7. Transactions with Affiliates. In carrying out the foregoing duties or any of its other obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator may enter into transactions or otherwise deal with any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the terms of any such transactions or dealings shall be in accordance with any directions received from BTF and the Trustee and shall be, in the Administrator’s opinion, no less favorable to the parties hereto than would be available from unaffiliated parties.
          8. Indemnification. The Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless BTF, the Trustee, the Noteholders and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury (a “Loss”) suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of the activities of the Administrator pursuant to this Agreement and the other Related Documents, including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Administrator shall not indemnify any Indemnified Party if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct by such Indemnified Party. The indemnity provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the removal of the Administrator. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses arising out of or relating to:
     (i) any failure by the Administrator to perform its duties, covenants and obligations in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement or any other Related Document to which it is a party;
     (ii) the failure by the Administrator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to its activities as Administrator hereunder; or
     (iii) any representation or warranty made by the Administrator under or in connection with any Related Document or any report, certificate, information or other material provided by the Administrator to the Trustee or the Noteholders (including, without limitation, any Daily Report, Monthly Certificate or Monthly Noteholders’ Statement) (collectively, the “Administrator Information”), which shall have been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made.
          9. Independence of the Administrator. Unless otherwise provided in the Related Documents, the Administrator shall be an independent contractor and shall not be subject to the supervision of BTF or the Trustee with respect to the manner in which it accomplishes the performance of its obligations hereunder. Other than pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, unless expressly authorized by the Trustee, the Administrator shall have no authority to act for or represent the Trustee in any way and shall not otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trustee.
          10. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute the Administrator and any of BTF and the Trustee (or any other Person) as members of any partnership, joint venture, association, syndicate, unincorporated business or other separate

7


 

entity, (ii) be construed to impose any liability as such on any of them or (iii) be deemed to confer on any of them any express, implied or apparent authority to incur any obligation or liability on behalf of the others.
          11. Other Activities of Administrator. (a) Nothing herein shall prevent the Administrator or its Affiliates from engaging in other businesses or, in its sole discretion, from acting in a similar capacity as an administrator for any other person or entity even though such person or entity may engage in business activities similar to those of the parties hereto.
          12. Term of Agreement; No Resignation; Removal. (a) This Agreement shall continue in force until the termination of the Indenture, the BTF Lease, and the Collection Account Control Agreement in accordance with their respective terms and the payment in full of all obligations owing thereunder, upon which event this Agreement shall automatically terminate. In the event that the Indenture terminates and all obligations owing thereunder have been paid in full, BTF shall have all rights of the Trustee under this Agreement.
          (b) The Administrator shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed hereunder.
          (c) Subject to Sections 12(d) and 12(e) of this Agreement, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Requisite Investors shall, remove the Administrator upon written notice of termination from the Trustee to the Administrator if any of the following events (each, an “Administrator Default”) shall occur:
     (i) the Administrator shall default in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement or any Related Document and, after notice of such default, shall not cure such default within ten (10) days of the earlier of receiving notice of or learning of such default (or, if such default cannot be cured in such time, shall not give within ten (10) days such assurance of cure as shall be reasonably satisfactory to BTF and the Trustee);
     (ii) an Event of Bankruptcy occurs with respect to the Administrator;
     (iii) any representation or warranty made by the Administrator under or in connection with any Related Document or any Administrator Information shall have been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made, and such representation or warranty shall continue to be incorrect ten (10) days after the earlier of the Administrator’s receiving notice or learning of such default; or
     (iv) the Administrator shall fail to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation, which failure would have a Material Adverse Effect.
          The Administrator agrees that if any Administrator Default shall occur, it shall give written notice thereof to each other party hereto promptly after the happening of such event, but in no event longer than seven (7) days thereafter.
          (d) No removal of the Administrator pursuant to this Section 12 shall be effective until (i) a successor Administrator acceptable to each Administrative Agent and each

8


 

Enhancement Provider, if any, shall have been appointed by BTF and the Trustee and (ii) such successor Administrator shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. BTF shall provide written notice of any such removal to the Trustee and each Enhancement Provider, if any.
          (e) The appointment of any successor Administrator shall be effective only upon the consent of the Required Noteholders of each Series of Notes Outstanding.
          13. Action upon Termination or Removal. Promptly upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13(a) or the removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 13(c), the Administrator shall be entitled to be paid all fees and reimbursable expenses accruing to it to the date of such termination or removal. The Administrator shall forthwith upon such termination pursuant to Section 13(a) deliver to BTF all property and documents of or relating to the Collateral then in the custody of the Administrator. In the event of the removal of the Administrator pursuant to Section 13(c), the Administrator shall cooperate with BTF and the Trustee and take all reasonable steps requested to assist BTF and the Trustee in making an orderly transfer of the duties of the Administrator, including, without limitation, delivering to a successor Administrator all property and documents of or relating to the Collateral then in the custody of the retiring Administrator.
