Cendant Corporation
Senior Executive Officer Supplemental Life Insurance Program
This Senior Executive Officer Supplemental Life Insurance Program (the “Program”) has been established by Cendant Corporation (the “Corporation”). The Program will have substantially such terms and conditions as set forth below, and shall be subject to such amendments, modifications and interpretations determined from time to time by the Corporation’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) in its sole and absolute discretion.
1.
Participation. Participation in the Program is limited solely
to senior executive officers of the Corporation as determined by the Committee
in its sole and absolute discretion. No employee or officer of the
Corporation shall have any right to participate in the Program absent the
express written approval and designation of the Committee. Upon the
Commencement of the Program in August 2003, Participation in the Program
is limited to the senior executive officers listed below. From time to
time, the Committee may approve and designate additional senior executive
officers as eligible to participate. A senior executive officer of the
Corporation approved and designated as a participant in the Program pursuant to
a duly authorized act of the Committee is referred to herein as a
“Participant.”

2.
Removal From Participation. A Participant may be, and shall be, terminated from
participating in the Program on the first to occur of the following: (i) upon
the Committee’s duly authorized action to terminate the Program for all
then active Participants; provided, however, that each such
Participant is provided no less than 30 days written notice of the termination
of the Program; (ii) immediately upon a Participant’s termination of
employment with the Corporation and its subsidiaries for any reason whatsoever;
(iii) upon any duly executed determination by the Committee that a Participant
shall no longer be a Participant for any reason, or no reason, in the sole and
absolute discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that any
such Participant is provided no less than 30 days written notice of his or her
termination as a Participant of the Program and (iv) immediately upon a
Participant’s failure to comply with the terms of the Program, including
without limitation such Participant’s failure to apply the after-tax
proceeds of the Program Bonus (as defined below) towards the payment of
premiums into an Approved Policy (as defined below) or the termination or
surrender of such Participant’s Approved Policy.
3.
Description of the Program. Upon the commencement of the Program in
August 2003 and upon each anniversary thereof, the Committee shall approve
a lump sum cash bonus to each Participant (the “Program
Bonus”). The amount of the Program Bonus for each
Participant shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, based upon such criteria and factors that it shall determine in its sole discretion. The amounts of the Program Bonuses for each Participant for each Program year shall be submitted to and approved, or disapproved, by the Committee. For the Program year commencing 2004, the Program Bonuses are set forth on Annex A hereto (under Alternative A).
Upon a Participant’s receipt of a Program Bonus, such Participant shall be required to apply the entire after-tax proceeds of such Program Bonus towards the payment of premiums into a life insurance policy on the life of such Participant which policy has been approved by the Corporation’s most senior human resources officer (an “Approved Policy”). Such payment into an Approved Policy must occur within 30 days following the Participant’s receipt of the Program Bonus. The Corporation may develop such criteria as it determines reasonable and appropriate with respect to whether an insurance policy qualifies as an Approved Policy.
Unless the Committee determines otherwise, instead of applying all or part of the Program Bonus towards an Approved Policy, each Participant may elect to defer receipt of all or part of the Program Bonus and apply the proceeds into the Corporation’s Deferred Compensation Plan, subject to execution of necessary deferral election forms. If a Participant makes an election to defer the Program Bonus into the Deferred Compensation Plan, then the amount of the Program Bonus may be altered as set forth on Annex A hereto (under Alternative B).
There is no requirement hereunder that Program Bonuses to respective Participants be of equal value, or that Approved Policies have equivalent terms and conditions or face amounts.
Each participant (or his or her duly established insurance trust) shall at all times be the sole owner of the Approved Policy and shall maintain all rights under such Approved Policy. Each Participant shall remain obligated to maintain his or her Approved Policy, and to make all required premium contributions. Participants shall not take policy loans or surrender any portion of an Approved Policy without the written approval of the Corporation. Any required premium payments into an Approved Policy in excess of the after-tax proceeds of the Program Bonus will be the sole responsibility of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, each Participant may assign ownership of his/her policy to an appropriate insurance trust approved by the Corporation, and upon such approval, the Corporation will recognize as appropriate such trust’s ownership of such policy in accordance with the provisions hereunder.
