A. Common Stock

1. Issuance of Common Stock in Series; Designation; Reclassification.

The Corporation shall have the authority to issue shares of Common Stock in two series. One series of Common Stock shall be designated as Cendant Corporation—CD Common Stock ("CD Stock"). The second series of Common Stock shall be initially designated as Cendant Corporation—Move.com Common Stock or such other name as the board of directors shall determine now or hereafter ("Move.com Stock"). When the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation becomes effective, each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior thereto shall automatically be reclassified as one share of CD Stock (and outstanding certificates that had theretofore represented shares of Common Stock shall thereupon represent an equal number of shares of CD Stock despite the absence of any indication thereon to that effect).

The total number of shares of CD Stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue shall initially be 2,000,000,000, and the total number of shares of Move.com Stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue shall initially be 500,000,000. The Board of

Directors shall have the authority to increase or decrease from time to time the total number of shares of Common Stock of either series which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue, but not above the number which, when added to the total number of shares of the other series of Common Stock that the Corporation would have the authority to issue, would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Corporation has the authority to issue, and not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to designate, prior to the time of the first issuance of the Move.com Stock, the number which, immediately prior to such first issuance, will constitute the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group and any other terms which are consistent with applicable law and the provisions of this Article 4. The voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the CD Stock and Move.com Stock, and the qualifications and restrictions thereon, shall be as set forth in this Section A.

2. Dividends

(1) Dividends. Subject to the preferences and other terms of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of either series of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on their shares of Common Stock if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of legally available funds, but (i) the Corporation will be permitted to pay dividends on CD Stock out of the lesser of (x) the assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends under Delaware law or (y) the Available Dividend Amount for Cendant Group and (ii) the Corporation will be permitted to pay dividends on Move.com Stock (and corresponding amounts to the Cendant Group with respect to its Retained Interest in Move.com Group) out of the lesser of (x) the assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends under Delaware law or (y) the Available Dividend Amount for Move.com Group.

(2) Discrimination Between or Among Series of Common Stock. Subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 2 and subject to the preferences and other terms of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall have the authority to declare and pay

dividends on both, one or neither series of Common Stock in equal or unequal amounts, notwithstanding the performance of either Group, the amount of assets available for dividends on either series of Common Stock, the amount of prior dividends paid on either series of Common Stock, the respective voting rights of each series of Common Stock or any other factor.

1. Mandatory Dividend, Redemption or Exchange on Disposition of All or Substantially All of the Assets of a Group; Exchange of One Series of Common Stock for the Other Series or for Stock of a Subsidiary at the Corporation's Option.

(3) Mandatory Dividend, Redemption or Exchange.

(1) In the event of a Disposition of All or Substantially All of the Assets of a Group (other than an Exempt Disposition), the Corporation shall, on or prior to the 85th Trading Day after the consummation of such Disposition, either:

(x): declare and pay a dividend to holders of the series of Common Stock that relates to that Group (in cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property, or a combination thereof), subject to the limitations on dividends set forth under Section 2 of this Article 4(A), in an amount having a Fair Value equal to their Proportionate Interest in the Net Proceeds of such Disposition;
(y): redeem from holders of the series of Common Stock that relates to that Group, for cash, securities (other than Common Stock) or other property (or a combination thereof) in an amount having a Fair Value equal to their Proportionate Interest in the Net Proceeds of such Disposition, all of the outstanding shares of the relevant series of Common Stock (or, if such Group continues after such Disposition to own any material assets other than the proceeds of such Disposition, a number of

shares of such series of Common Stock (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) having an aggregate average Market Value, during the 20 consecutive Trading Day period beginning on (and including) the 16th Trading Day immediately following the date on which the Disposition is consummated, equal to such Fair Value); or

(z): issue, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of the series of Common Stock that relates to that Group, a number of shares of the series of Common Stock that does not relate to that Group (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) having an aggregate value equal to 110% of the aggregate value of all of the outstanding shares of the series of Common Stock that relates to that Group (with value in each case based on the average Market Value of a share of the relevant series of Common Stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Day period beginning on (and including) the 16th Trading Day immediately following the date on which the Disposition is consummated).

(2) At any time within one year after completing any dividend or partial redemption pursuant to (x) or (y) of the preceding sentence, the Corporation may issue, in exchange for all of the remaining outstanding shares of the series of Common Stock that relates to the Group that consummated the applicable Disposition, a number of shares of the series of Common Stock that does not relate to that Group (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) having an aggregate value equal to 110% of the aggregate value of all of the outstanding shares of the series of Common Stock that relates to that Group (with value in each case based on the average Market Value of a share of the relevant series of Common Stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on (and including) the 5th Trading Day immediately preceding the

date on which the Corporation mails the notice of exchange to holders of the relevant series).

(3) For purposes of this Section 3, if a Group consummates a Disposition in a series of related transactions, such Disposition shall not be deemed to have been completed until consummation of the last of such transactions.

(4) Optional Exchange of One Series of Common Stock for the Other Series.

(1) Prior to the third anniversary of the earlier of (a) the initial issuance of Move.com Stock in a public offering or (b) the first anniversary of a private placement of Move.com Stock, the Corporation will not have the right to cause the exchange of CD Stock for Move.com Stock.

(2) From and after the 18-month anniversary of the earlier of (a) the initial issuance of Move.com Stock in a public offering or (b) the first anniversary of a private placement of Move.com Stock, the Corporation may issue, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Move.com Stock, a number of shares of CD Stock (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) having an aggregate value equal to the percentage of the aggregate value of all of the outstanding shares of Move.com Stock (the "Applicable Percentage") specified for the applicable date of exchange below. (In each case value is based on the average Market Value of a share of the relevant series of Common Stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on (and including) the 5th Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Corporation mails the notice of exchange to holders of Move.com Stock).

For purposes of the foregoing chart, (x) the eighteenth "Month" is the period from and including the date which is the earlier of (1) the first issuance of shares of Move.com Stock in a public offering or (2) the first anniversary of a private placement of Move.com Stock, to but excluding the one month anniversary of such date (provided that, if the date is the 29th, 30th or 31st day of any month, the first "Month" will be the period from and including such date to but excluding the one month anniversary of the first day of the month immediately following the month in which such date falls) and (y) each subsequent "Month" is the period from and including the

day after the end of the prior Month to but excluding the one month anniversary of such day.

(3) From and after the third anniversary of the earlier of (a) the initial issuance of Move.com Stock in a public offering or (b) the first anniversary of a private placement of Move.com Stock, the Corporation may, at any time after outstanding Move.com Stock exceeds the 40% of Total Market Capitalization Trigger but has not exceeded 60% of the Total Market Capitalization Threshold, issue, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of either series of Common Stock (the "Series of Common Stock Being Retired"), a number of shares of the other series of Common Stock (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) having an aggregate value equal to the aggregate value of all of the outstanding shares of the Series of Common Stock Being Retired (with value in each case based on the average Market Value of a share of the relevant series of Common Stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on (and including) the 5th Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Corporation mails the notice of exchange to holders of the Series of Common Stock Being Retired). In the event that Move.com Stock exceeds the 60% of Total Market Capitalization Threshold, the Corporation will lose the right to effect an exchange on a value for value basis during such period.

The Corporation will have the right, on or after the third anniversary of the earlier of (a) the initial issuance of Move.com Stock in a public offering or (b) the first anniversary of a private placement of Move.com Stock, if outstanding Move.com Stock exceeds the 60% of Total Market Capitalization Threshold, to issue a number of shares of Move.com Stock, in exchange for all of the outstanding CD Stock, having an aggregate value equal to 115% of the aggregate value of all of the outstanding shares of CD Stock. (In each case value is based on the average Market Value of a share of relevant series of Common

Stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on (and including) the 5th Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Corporation mails the notice of exchange to holders of CD Stock). In the event that Move.com Stock equals or falls below the 60% of Total Market Capitalization Threshold, the Corporation will lose the right to effect such an exchange during such period.

Move.com Stock will exceed the "40% of Total Market Capitalization Trigger" if the Market Capitalization of the outstanding Move.com Stock exceeds 40% of the Total Market Capitalization of both series of Common Stock for 30 Trading Days during any 60 consecutive Trading Day period. Move.com Stock will be equal to or below the "60% of Total Market Capitalization Threshold" if the Market Capitalization of the outstanding Move.com Stock is equal to or below 60% of the Total Market Capitalization of both series of Common Stock for 30 Trading Days during any 60 consecutive Trading Day period.

If the Corporation has the right, on the date on which it mails a notice of exchange as contemplated above, to issue shares of CD Stock or Move.com Stock in exchange for outstanding shares of the other series of Common Stock as described above, the Corporation will not lose that right if Move.com Stock subsequently falls below the 40% of Total Market Capitalization Trigger or exceeds the 60% of Total Market Capitalization Threshold.

(4) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, if a Tax Event has occurred, the Corporation may issue, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Move.com Stock, a number of shares of CD Stock (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) having an aggregate value equal to 110% of the aggregate value of all of the outstanding shares of Move.com Stock (with value based on the average Market Value of a share of the relevant series of Common Stock during the 20 consecutive

Trading Day period ending on (and including) the 5th Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Corporation mails the notice of exchange to holders of Move.com Stock being retired). "Tax Event" means the receipt by the Corporation of an opinion of tax counsel of the Corporation's choice experienced in such matters, who shall not be an officer or employee of the Corporation or any of its affiliates, to the effect that, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (including any proposed change in such regulations announced by an administrative agency), or as a result of any official or administrative pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, it is more likely than not that for United States federal income tax purposes (1) the Corporation, its subsidiaries or affiliates or any of its successors or its stockholders is, or at any time in the future will be, subject to tax upon the issuance of shares of either CD Stock or Move.com Stock or (2) either CD Stock or Move.com Stock is not, or at any time in the future will not be, treated solely as stock of the Corporation. For purposes of rendering such opinion, the tax counsel shall assume that any administrative proposals will be adopted as proposed. However, in the event a change in law is proposed, tax counsel shall render an opinion only in the event of enactment.

(5) Optional Exchange for Stock of a Subsidiary.

(1) At any time at which all of the assets and liabilities of a Group (and no other assets or liabilities of the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof) are held directly or indirectly by one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporation (the "Group Subsidiaries"), the Corporation shall have the right to issue to holders of the relevant series of Common Stock (including Cendant Group in the case of Move.com Stock) their Proportionate Interest in all of the outstanding shares of the common

stock of the Group Subsidiaries in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of such series of Common Stock.

(2) If the series of Common Stock being exchanged pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) above is CD Stock and the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group is greater than zero, the Corporation shall also issue a number of shares of Move.com Stock equal to the then current Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group and issue those shares to the holders of CD Stock or to one of the Group Subsidiaries, at the option of the Corporation.

(3) If the series of Common Stock being exchanged pursuant to Section 3(c)(i) above is Move.com Stock and the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group is greater than zero (so that less than all of the shares of common stock of the Group Subsidiaries are being delivered to the holders of Move.com Stock), the Corporation may retain the remaining shares of common stock of the Group Subsidiaries or distribute those shares as a dividend on CD Stock.

(6) General Dividend, Exchange and Redemption Provisions.

(1) If the Corporation completes a Disposition of All or Substantially All of the Assets of a Group (other than an Exempt Disposition), the Corporation shall, not more than the 10 Trading Days after the consummation of such Disposition, issue a press release specifying (w) the Net Proceeds of such Disposition, (x) the number of shares of the series of Common Stock related to such Group then outstanding, (y) the number of shares of such series of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or

exercise of any convertible or exchangeable securities, options or warrants and the conversion, exchange or exercise prices thereof and (z) if the Group is Move.com Group, the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group. The Corporation shall, not more than 30 Trading Days after such consummation, announce by press release which of the actions specified in Section 3(a)(i) of this Article 4(A) it has determined to take, and upon making that announcement, that determination will be irrevocable. In addition, the Corporation shall, not later than 30 Trading Days after such consummation and not earlier than 10 Trading Days before the applicable payment date, redemption date or exchange date, send a notice by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to holders of the relevant series of Common Stock at their addresses as they appear on the transfer books of the Corporation, specifying:

(1) if the Corporation has determined to pay a special dividend, (A) the record date for such dividend, (B) the payment date of such dividend (which cannot be more than 85 Trading Days after such consummation) and (C) the aggregate amount and type of property to be paid in such dividend (and the approximate per share amount thereof);

(2) if the Corporation has determined to undertake a redemption, (A) the date of redemption (which cannot be more than 85 Trading Days after such consummation), (B) the aggregate amount and type of property to be paid as a redemption price (and the approximate per share amount thereof), (C) if less than all shares of the relevant series of Common Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed and (D) the place or places where certificates for shares of such series of Common Stock, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer (unless the Corporation waives such requirement), should be surrendered in return for delivery of the cash, securities or other property to be paid by the Corporation in such redemption; and

(3) if the Corporation has determined to undertake an exchange, (A) the date of exchange (which cannot be more than 85 Trading Days after such consummation), (B) the number of shares of the other series of Common Stock to be issued in exchange for each outstanding share of such series of Common Stock and (C) the place or places where certificates for shares of such series of Common Stock, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer (unless the Corporation waives such requirement), should be surrendered in return for delivery of the other series of Common Stock to be issued by the Corporation in such exchange.

(2) If the Corporation has determined to complete any exchange described in Section 3(b) or (c) of this Article 4(A), the Corporation shall, not less than 10 Trading Days and not more than 30 Trading Days before the exchange date, send a notice by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to holders of the relevant series of Common Stock at their addresses as they appear on the transfer books of the Corporation, specifying (x) the exchange date and the other terms of the exchange and (y) the place or places where certificates for shares of such series of Common Stock, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer (unless the Corporation waives such requirement), should be surrendered for delivery of the stock to be issued or delivered by the Corporation in such exchange.

(3) Neither the failure to mail any notice required by this Section 3(d) to any particular holder nor any defect therein would affect the sufficiency thereof with respect to any other holder or the validity of any dividend, redemption or exchange contemplated hereby.

(4) If the Corporation is redeeming less than all of the outstanding shares of a series of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) of this Article 4(A), the Corporation shall redeem such shares pro rata or by lot or

by such other method as the Board of Directors determines to be equitable.

(5) No holder of shares of a series of Common Stock being exchanged or redeemed shall be entitled to receive any cash, securities or other property to be distributed in such exchange or redemption until such holder surrenders certificates for such shares, properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, at such place as the Corporation shall specify (unless the Corporation waives such requirement). As soon as practicable after the Corporation's receipt of certificates for such shares, the Corporation shall deliver to the person for whose account such shares were so surrendered, or to the nominee or nominees of such person, the cash, securities or other property to which such person shall be entitled, together with any fractional payment referred to below, in each case without interest. If less than all of the shares of Common Stock represented by any one certificate is exchanged or redeemed, the Corporation shall also issue and deliver a new certificate for the shares of such Common Stock not exchanged or redeemed.

(6) The Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver fractional shares of any capital stock or any other fractional securities to any holder of Common Stock upon any exchange, redemption, dividend or other distribution described above. If more than one share of Common Stock shall be held at the same time by the same holder, the Corporation may aggregate the number of shares of any capital stock that would be issuable or any other securities that would be distributable to such holder upon any such exchange, redemption, dividend or other distribution. If there are fractional shares of any capital stock or any other fractional securities remaining to be issued or distributed to any holder, the Corporation shall, if such fractional shares or securities are not issued or distributed to such holder, pay cash in respect of such

fractional shares or securities in an amount equal to the Fair Value thereof (without interest).

(7) From and after the date set for any exchange or redemption contemplated by this Section 3, all rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock being exchanged or redeemed shall cease except for the right, upon surrender of the certificates theretofore representing such shares, to receive the cash, securities or other property for which such shares were exchanged or redeemed, together with any fractional payment as provided above, in each case without interest (and, if such holder was a holder of record as of the close of Business on the record date for a dividend not yet paid, the right to receive such dividend). A holder of shares of Common Stock being exchanged shall not be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to shares of the other series of Common Stock until after certificates theretofore representing the shares being exchanged are surrendered as contemplated above. Upon such surrender, the Corporation shall pay to the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest) which theretofore became payable with respect to a record date occurring after the exchange, but which were not paid by reason of the foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of the other series of Common Stock represented by the certificate or certificates issued upon such surrender. From and after the date set for any exchange, the Corporation shall, however, be entitled to treat the certificates for shares of a series of Common Stock being exchanged that were not yet surrendered for exchange as evidencing the ownership of the number of whole shares of the other series of Common Stock for which the shares of such Common Stock should have been exchanged, notwithstanding the failure to surrender such certificates.

(8) The Corporation shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that might be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of any

shares of capital stock and/or other securities on any exchange or redemption contemplated by this Section 3; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that might be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any shares of capital stock and/or other securities in a name other than that in which the shares so exchanged or redeemed were registered, and no such issue or delivery will be made unless and until the person requesting such issue pays to the Corporation the amount of any such tax, or establishes to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

(9) The Corporation may, subject to applicable law, establish such other rules, requirements and procedures to facilitate any dividend, redemption or exchange contemplated by this Section 3 as the Board of Directors may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances.

3. Voting Rights.

At every meeting of stockholders, the holders of CD Stock and the holders of Move.com Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters as to which common stockholders generally are entitled to vote, unless a separate vote is required by applicable law. On all such matters for which no separate vote is required, (a) holders of CD Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share of CD Stock held and (b) holders of Move.com Stock shall be entitled to a one vote per share of Move.com Stock held. Each share of CD Stock and each share of Move.com Stock shall continue to have one vote following a stock split, stock dividend or similar reclassification.

4. Liquidation Rights.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, holders of CD Stock and holders of Move.com Stock shall be entitled to receive in respect of shares of CD Stock and shares of Move.com Stock their proportionate interests in the

net assets of the Corporation, if any, remaining for distribution to stockholders (after payment of or provision for all liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Corporation and payment of the liquidation preference payable to any holders of Preferred Stock), in proportion to the respective number of liquidation units per share of CD Stock and Move.com Stock. Each share of CD Stock shall have one liquidation unit and each share of Move.com Stock shall have a number of liquidation units (including a fraction of one liquidation unit) equal to the quotient (rounded to the nearest five decimal places) of the average Market Value of one share of Move.com Stock during the 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the 5th Trading Day before the date of the first public announcement of (1) a voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or (2) the institution of any proceeding for the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation divided by the average Market Value of one share of CD Stock during such 20 Trading Day period.

If the Corporation shall in any manner subdivide (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise) or combine (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise) the outstanding shares of CD Stock or Move.com Stock, or declare a dividend in shares of either series to holders of such series, the per share liquidation units of such series of Common Stock specified in the preceding paragraph, as adjusted from time to time, shall be appropriately adjusted as determined by the Board of Directors, so as to avoid dilution in the aggregate, relative liquidation rights of the shares of any series of Common Stock.

Neither the merger nor consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other entity, nor a sale, transfer or lease of all or any part of the assets of the Corporation, shall, alone, be deemed a liquidation or winding up of the Corporation or cause the dissolution of the Corporation, for purposes of this Section 5.

5. Adjustments to Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group.

The Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group, as in effect from time to time, shall,

automatically without action by the Board of Directors or any other person, be:

(1) adjusted in proportion to any changes in the number of outstanding shares of Move.com Stock caused by subdivisions (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise) or combinations (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise) of shares of Move.com Stock or by dividends or other distributions of shares of Move.com Stock on shares of Move.com Stock (and, in each such case, rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number);

(2) decreased by (i) if the Corporation issues any shares of Move.com Stock and the Board of Directors attributes that issuance (and the proceeds thereof) to Cendant Group, the number of shares of Move.com Stock so issued, and (ii) if the Board of Directors reallocates to Cendant Group any cash or other assets theretofore allocated to Move.com Group in connection with a redemption of shares of Move.com Stock (as required pursuant to clause (ii) of the proviso to the definition of Cendant Group below) or in return for a decrease in the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group, the number (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) equal to (x) the aggregate Fair Value of such cash or other assets divided by (y) the Market Value of one share of Move.com Stock as of the date of such reallocation; and

(c) increased by (i) if the Corporation repurchases any shares of Move.com Stock and the Board of Directors attributes that repurchase (and the consideration therefor) to Cendant Group, the number of shares of Move.com Stock so repurchased and (ii) if the Board of Directors re-allocates to Move.com Group any cash or other assets theretofore allocated to Cendant Group in return for an increase in the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group, the

number (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole number) equal to (x) the Fair Value of such cash or other assets divided by (y) the Market Value of one share of Move.com Stock as of the date of such re-allocation.

Neither the Corporation nor the Board of Directors shall take any action that would, as a result of any of the foregoing adjustments, reduce the Number of Shares Issuable with Respect to Cendant Group's Retained Interest in Move.com Group to below zero. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors may attribute the issuance of any shares of Move.com Stock (and the proceeds here from) or the repurchase of Move.com Stock (and the consideration therefor) to Cendant Group or to Move.com Group, as the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Board of Directors must attribute to Cendant Group the issuance of any shares of Move.com Stock that are issued (1) as a dividend or other distribution on, or as consideration for the repurchase of, shares of CD Stock or (2) as consideration to acquire any assets or satisfy any liabilities attributed to Cendant Group.

6. Additional Definitions.

As used in this Article 4, the following terms shall have the following meanings (with terms defined in singular having comparable meaning when used in the plural and vice versa), unless the context otherwise requires:

"All or Substantially All of the Assets" of either Group means a portion of such assets that represents at least 80% of the then-current Fair Value of the assets of such Group, which for Cendant Group includes the value of its Retained Interest in Move.com Group.

"Available Dividend Amount" for Cendant Group, on any day on which dividends are paid on shares of CD Stock, is the amount that would, immediately prior to the payment of such dividends, be legally available for the payment of dividends on shares of CD Stock under Delaware law if (a) Cendant Group and Move.com Group were each a separate Delaware corporation, (b) Cendant Group had outstanding (i) a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to the number of shares of CD Stock that are then outstanding and (ii) a number of shares of
