Section 1.4 Agent. PHH hereby irrevocably designates, and agrees to cause each PHH Affiliate to so designate, Cendant as its sole and exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact and agrees to take such action and to cause the PHH Affiliates to take such action (including execution of powers of attorney and other documents) as Cendant may reasonably request in connection with any matter relating to Taxes, provided, that except as otherwise provided in Section 1.6(g) and Section 5.4, this Section 1.4 shall not apply to Taxes described in Section 1.2(b).

Section 1.5 Manner of Tax Return Preparation.

(a) Unless otherwise required by a Taxing Authority, the parties hereto shall prepare and file all Tax Returns and take all other actions in a manner consistent with this Agreement. All Tax Returns shall be filed on a timely basis (taking into account applicable extensions) by the party responsible for filing such Tax Returns under this Agreement.

Section 1.6 Certain Tax Benefits.

(a) PHH shall pay to Cendant the amount of any Tax Benefit Realized by PHH or any PHH Affiliate in each taxable year that is attributable to the transactions undertaken pursuant to the Avis Merger Agreement being characterized in a manner other than as reported by Cendant or any Cendant Affiliate on its originally filed applicable income Tax Returns. Within sixty (60) days of any Final Determination that may give rise to an obligation of PHH under this Section 1.6(a) (an "Avis Final Determination"), Cendant shall notify PHH in writing of such Avis Final Determination and shall provide PHH with such information reasonably required by PHH for PHH and each relevant PHH Affiliate to account for any Tax Asset (or any increase in any Tax Asset) and to determine the Tax Benefit potentially available attributable to the Avis Final Determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of Cendant to provide notice to PHH within the time required by the preceding sentence shall not relieve PHH of any liability and/or obligation which it may have under this Section 1.6.

(b) Within sixty (60) days after PHH receives notice of any Avis Final Determination, PHH shall provide to Cendant a schedule showing, in reasonable detail, the effect of the Avis Final Determination (the "Tax Benefit Schedule") on any Tax Asset or Tax liability of PHH and the PHH Affiliates for each taxable period ending on or before the date of the notice for which PHH filed the applicable Tax Return. Within thirty (30) days of the finalization of the Tax Benefit Schedule, as described in subsection (d) below, PHH shall take or cause to be taken all steps necessary or appropriate to Realize any Tax Benefit attributable to past taxable periods, including the prompt filing of amended Tax Returns and/or claims for refund.

(c) PHH shall file and shall cause each PHH Affiliate to file all current and future Tax Returns consistent with the Avis Final Determination and so as to Realize as quickly as possible any Tax Benefit potentially available to PHH and each PHH Affiliate, and shall provide to Cendant a Tax Benefit Schedule and a calculation of the Tax Benefit Realized annually, no later than 120 days prior to the due date, including applicable extensions, of PHH's federal Income Tax Return until such time as the parties in good faith agree that PHH has no remaining obligation for any Tax Benefit.

(d) Each time PHH delivers the Tax Benefit Schedule to Cendant, PHH shall also (i) deliver to Cendant schedules and work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the preparation of the Tax Benefit Schedule and the Tax Benefit Realized and an Advisory Firm Letter supporting such Tax Benefit Schedule and Tax Benefit Realized and (ii) allow Cendant reasonable access to the appropriate representatives at PHH and each PHH Affiliate and the Advisory Firm in connection with its review of such schedule. The Tax Benefit Schedule shall become final and binding on the parties unless Cendant, within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving such schedule, provides PHH with notice of a good faith objection to such Tax Benefit Schedule. If a Dispute arises between PHH and Cendant with respect to the Tax Benefit Schedule, Tax Benefit or the Tax Benefit Realized, such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the principles and procedures set forth in Section 6.3.

(e) PHH shall pay Cendant the amount of Tax Benefit Realized by PHH and each PHH Affiliate within thirty (30) days of the date on which such Tax Benefit is Realized by PHH or such PHH Affiliate, as the case may be.

PHH shall promptly inform Cendant of any such Audit, shall use its reasonable best efforts to sustain the Tax Benefit at issue in the Audit, and shall, at Cendant's request, allow Cendant to participate in the Audit. Upon receiving written notice of a Final Determination affecting any Tax Benefit, PHH shall redetermine the relevant Tax Benefit, taking into account the Final Determination (the “Restated Tax Benefit”). If the Restated Tax Benefit is greater than the relevant Tax Benefit, PHH shall promptly pay Cendant the difference between such amounts. If the Restated Tax Benefit is less than the relevant Tax Benefit, Cendant shall pay to PHH the difference between such amounts promptly after receipt of written notice setting forth the amount due and the computation thereof.

(g) New Jersey Business Incentive Program.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Cendant shall have the exclusive right and sole discretion to control, contest and represent the interests of PHH and each PHH Affiliate in any filing, claim and/or proceeding relating or attributable to the New Jersey Business

Employment Incentive Program (the "BEIP") for all periods ending on or prior to the Distribution Date. In connection with this Section 1.6(g), PHH shall designate, and shall cause each PHH Affiliate to designate, Cendant (and Cendant employees and representatives of Cendant) as its attorney-in-fact and agrees to take such action and cause each PHH Affiliate to take such action (including execution of appropriate powers of attorney and other documents) as Cendant may reasonably request for all periods ending on or prior to the Distribution Date. With respect to a filing, claim and/or proceeding relating or attributable to the BEIP for a Straddle Period (as defined below), PHH shall have the right and discretion to control, contest and represent the interests of PHH and each PHH Affiliate, provided that (x) Cendant shall have the right to participate in any such contest or other matter relating to the BEIP for such Straddle Period, and PHH and each PHH Affiliate shall keep Cendant fully informed of all matters relating to such contest or other matter and (y) PHH shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any BEIP Payments (as defined below) that are attributable to such Straddle Period and are otherwise legally obtainable by PHH and/or one or more PHH Affiliates.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, PHH shall pay to Cendant, no later than five calendar days after receipt by PHH and each PHH Affiliate, as the case may be, of each BEIP Payment (as defined below), an amount equal to (x) with respect to all periods ending on or before the Distribution Date, the Net BEIP Payment (as defined below) attributable to each BEIP Payment and (y) with respect to any period that begins on or before and ends after the Distribution Date (a "Straddle Period"), the Net BEIP Payment for such Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in such entire Straddle Period. For purposes of the Agreement, (i) "BEIP Payment" means each payment received by PHH and each PHH Affiliate from the State of New Jersey attributable to the BEIP, (ii) "Net BEIP Payment" means the excess of (x) one hundred percent (100%) of each BEIP Payment received by PHH and each PHH Affiliate over (y) the PHH BEIP Deductible Amount, and (iii) "PHH BEIP Deductible Amount" means, with respect to each BEIP Payment, the lesser of (x) 10 percent of such BEIP Payment and (y) [***]. PHH shall provide to Cendant promptly upon request any contract (and any modification or amendments thereto) between PHH and the PHH Consultant.

Section 1.7 Net Operating Losses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, PHH shall elect (under section 172(b)(3) of the Code and, to the extent feasible, any similar provision of any state, local or foreign Tax law) to relinquish any right to carry back net operating losses to any Cendant Consolidated and Combined Income Tax Return.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENTS

Section 4.1 Payments Under This Agreement. Any payment required to be made pursuant to this Agreement by one party to the other shall be made according to this Section 4.1.

(a) In General. All payments shall be made within the time prescribed for payment in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, within twenty (20) days after delivery of written notice of payment owing together with a computation of the amounts due.

(b) Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by any Final Determination, payments made by one party to another party (other than payments of interest pursuant to Section 4.1(e) and payments of After Tax Amounts pursuant to Section 4.1(d)) pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax and financial accounting purposes as nontaxable payments (dividend distributions or capital contributions, as the case may be) made immediately prior to the Distribution and, accordingly, as not includible in the taxable income of the recipient.

(c) Prompt Performance. All actions required to be taken by any party under this Agreement shall be performed within the time prescribed for performance in this Agreement, or if no period is prescribed, such actions shall be performed promptly.

(d) After Tax Amounts. If, pursuant to a Final Determination, it is determined that the receipt or accrual of any payment made under this Agreement (other than payments pursuant to Section 1.6 or of interest pursuant to Section 4.1(e)), including any payment made pursuant to this Section 4.1(d), is includible in income by the receiving party, the party making such payment shall pay to the receiving party an additional amount equal to (a) the After Tax Amount with respect to such payment and (b) interest at the rate described in Section 4.1(e) on the amount of any Tax attributable to such inclusion in income from the date such Tax accrues through the date of payment of such After Tax Amount. A party making a demand for a payment pursuant to this Agreement and for a payment of an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment shall separately specify and compute such After Tax Amount. However, a party may choose not to specify an After Tax Amount in a demand for payment pursuant to this Agreement without thereby being deemed to have waived its right subsequently to demand an After Tax Amount with respect to such payment.

(e) Interest. Payments pursuant to this Agreement that are not made within the period prescribed in this Agreement (the “Payment Period”) shall bear interest for the period from and including the date immediately following the last date of the Payment Period

through and including the date of payment at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the last day of such Payment Period, plus two percent (2%). Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days for which due.

ARTICLE V

TAX PROCEEDINGS

Section 5.1 Audits. Subject to Section 5.4, the party responsible for preparing and filing a Tax Return pursuant to Article I (the “Filing Party”) shall have the exclusive right to control, contest, and represent the interests of Cendant, any Cendant Affiliate, PHH, and any PHH Affiliate, as applicable, in any Audit relating to such Tax Return and, in its reasonable discretion, to resolve, settle or agree to any deficiency, claim or adjustment proposed, asserted or assessed in connection with or as a result of any such Audit. The Filing Party’s rights shall extend to any matter pertaining to the management and control of an Audit, including execution of waivers, choice of forum, scheduling of conferences and the resolution of any Tax related matter regarding such Tax Return. In connection with this Section 5.1 with respect to any Audits relating to any Tax Returns with respect to Income Taxes for the jurisdictions and years set forth on Appendix B attached hereto, PHH shall designate and shall cause the PHH Affiliates to designate, Cendant (and Cendant employees and representatives of Cendant) as its attorney-in-fact and agrees to take such action and to cause the PHH Affiliates to take such action (including execution of appropriate powers of attorney and other documents) as Cendant may reasonably request.

The failure of one party to notify the other party of any matter relating to a particular Tax for a taxable period or to take any action specified in this Agreement shall not relieve such other party of any liability and/or obligation which it may have under this Agreement with respect to such Tax for such taxable period, except to the extent that such other party’s rights under this Agreement are materially prejudiced by such failure.

Section 5.3 Remedies. PHH shall make no claim against Cendant and shall not raise or assert any defense to PHH’s liabilities and/or obligations to Cendant under this Agreement based upon the resolution by Cendant of any deficiency, claim or adjustment relating to any Tax related matter pertaining to Cendant or any Cendant Affiliate.

Section 5.4 Control of Distribution Tax and Internal Reorganization Tax Proceedings. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Cendant

Cendant’s rights shall extend to any matter pertaining to the management and control of such Audit, including execution of waivers, choice of forum, scheduling of conferences and the resolution of any Tax related matter regarding such Tax Return. In connection with this Section 5.4, PHH shall designate and shall cause the PHH Affiliates to designate, Cendant (and Cendant employees and representatives of Cendant) as its attorney-in-fact and agrees to take such action and to cause the PHH Affiliates to take such action (including execution of appropriate powers of attorney and other documents) as Cendant may reasonably request.

Section 6.2 Cooperation and Exchange of Information.

(a) Cooperation. PHH and Cendant shall each cooperate fully (and each shall cause its respective affiliates to cooperate fully) with all reasonable requests from the other party hereto, or from an agent, representative or advisor to such party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, claims for refund, Audits, and other matters related to Taxes covered by this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, at each party's own cost:

(i) the retention until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and the provision upon request, of Tax Returns, books, records (including information regarding ownership and Tax basis of property), documentation and other information relating to the Tax Returns, including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities;

(ii) the execution of any document that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any Audit, or the filing of a Tax Return or refund claim by Cendant or any Cendant Affiliate or PHH or any PHH Affiliate,

including certification, to the best of a party’s knowledge, of the accuracy and completeness of the information it has supplied; and

(iii) the use of the party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any documentation that may be necessary or reasonably helpful in connection with any of the foregoing.

Each party shall make its employees and facilities available on a reasonable and mutually convenient basis in connection with the foregoing matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, neither PHH nor any PHH Affiliate shall have the right to receive or obtain any information relating to Taxes of Cendant, any Cendant Affiliate or its predecessors, in each case, other than information relating solely to PHH or a PHH Affiliate.

(b) Retention of Records. Subject to Section 6.2(a), a party intending to dispose of documentation relating to the Taxes of Cendant or any Cendant Affiliate or PHH or any PHH Affiliate, including without limitation, Tax Returns, books, records, documentation and other information relating to the Tax Returns, including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities (after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations) as permitted by this Agreement, shall provide written notice to the other party describing the documentation to be destroyed or disposed of sixty (60) business days prior to taking such action. The other party may arrange to take delivery of the documentation described in the notice at its expense during the succeeding sixty (60) day period.

Section 6.3 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity hereof (“Dispute”) shall first be negotiated between the appropriate senior executives of Cendant and PHH who have the authority to resolve the matter. Such executives shall meet to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute prior to pursuing other available remedies, within ten (10) days of receipt by Cendant or PHH, as applicable, of notice of a Dispute, which date of receipt shall be referred to herein as the “Dispute Resolution Commencement Date.” If the senior executives are unable to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days from the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date, then Cendant and PHH shall jointly retain an Independent Firm to resolve the Dispute. If Cendant and PHH cannot mutually agree upon an Independent Firm, then any Dispute which Cendant and PHH cannot resolve within thirty (30) days from the Dispute Resolution Commencement Date shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the American Arbitration Association; provided, that the American Arbitration Association shall not select any accounting firm that is then providing auditing services to Cendant, any Cendant Affiliate, PHH or any PHH Affiliate. The accounting firm selected by Cendant and PHH or the American Arbitration Association, as the case may be, shall act as an arbitrator to resolve all points of disagreement, and its decision shall be final and binding upon all parties involved.
