A termination will not be for “Cause” pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (v) or (ix) of this Section 2.1(e) of the Plan to the extent such conduct is curable, unless the Company shall have notified Participant in writing describing such conduct and Participant

shall have failed to cure such conduct within ten (10) business days after her receipt of such written notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities is acquired by (x) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (y) any corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in the same proportion as their ownership of shares in the Company immediately prior to such acquisition.

3.3    Termination by Reason of Death. If a Participant’s employment is terminated by reason of Participant’s death, the Company shall pay or provide to the Participant’s beneficiaries:

3.4    Termination by the Company Without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason Not in Connection with a Change in Control.

3.8    Clawback Policy. All payments under the Plan shall be subject to recovery by the Company to the extent required by law or, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Clawback Policy as in effect from time to time, under the Clawback Policy in the event Participant breaches his or her covenants as set forth in the Realogy Holdings Corp. Executive Restrictive Covenant Agreement.

3.9    Certain Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (or any other agreement entered into by and between the Company and a Participant, or any incentive arrangement or plan offered by the Company), in the event that the Total Payments paid to the Participant would constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Code, and would thereby subject the Participant to an Excise Tax, the provisions of this Section 3.9 of the Plan shall apply. If the aggregate present value (as determined for purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of the Total Payment exceeds the amount which can be paid to a Participant without Participant incurring an Excise Tax, then, solely to the extent that the Participant would be better off on an after tax basis by receiving the maximum amount which may be paid hereunder without the Participant becoming subject to the Excise Tax, as determined by a nationally recognized accounting firm designated by the Company prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control, the amounts payable

to Participant under this Plan (or any other agreement by and between the Participant and Company or any of its Affiliates or pursuant to any incentive arrangement or plan offered by the Company) shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the maximum amount which may be paid hereunder without the Participant becoming subject to the Excise Tax. In the event a Participant receives reduced payments and benefits as a result of application of this Section 3.9, the Participant shall have the right to designate which of the payments and benefits otherwise set forth herein (or any other agreement between the Company and the Participant or any incentive arrangement or plan offered by the Company) shall be received in connection with the application of the reduced payments, subject to the following sentence. Reduction shall be made in the following order: (i) at the discretion of the Participant, payments that are valued in full under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 and are not subject to Section 409A of the Code, (ii) payments that are valued in full under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 and are subject to Section 409A of the Code, with the amounts that are payable last reduced first, (iii) at the discretion of the Participant, payments that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 and are not subject to Section 409A of the Code and (iv) payments that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 and are subject to Section 409A of the Code, with the amounts that are payable last reduced first.

3.10    Section 409A. The Company intends for the payments and benefits under this Plan to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code or, if not so exempt, to be paid or provided in a manner which complies with the requirements of such section and intend that this Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, (i) no amounts shall be paid to a Participant under Article III of this Plan until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, (ii) amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Plan during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service (or Participant’s death, if earlier), (iii) each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separately identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, (iv) any payments that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise and (v) amounts reimbursable to Participant under this Agreement shall be paid to Participant on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to the Participant) during any one (1) year may not effect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year.

4.1    Claim for Benefits. All Participants will automatically receive the benefits to which they are eligible under the Plan. If an individual is denied any benefit under the Plan, the claimant may file a claim with the Plan Administrator. The claim must be in writing and must be received by the Plan Administrator within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of termination with the

Company. The Plan Administrator shall review the claim itself or appoint an individual or entity to review the claim. The claimant shall be notified within ninety (90) days after receipt of the claim by the Plan Administrator, whether the claim is allowed or denied, unless the claimant receives written notice prior to the end of the ninety (90) day period stating that circumstances require an extension of time for a decision and the date that a decision is expected to be provided to the claimant, which shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days after the claim is filed. If a claim is denied, the notification shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

Failure to receive notification within the ninety (90) or one hundred eighty (180) day period, if applicable, shall be deemed a denial of the claim.

4.2    Appeal. An individual whose claim for benefits has been denied may request review by the Plan Administrator of the denied claim by notifying the Plan Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notification of claim denial or, if written notice is not provided, within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the ninety (90) or one hundred and eighty (180) day period, if applicable, described in Section 4.1 of the Plan. As part of said review procedure, the claimant or his authorized representative may review pertinent documents and submit comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits to the Plan Administrator. The claimant or his authorized representative shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. The Plan Administrator shall provide for a review that takes into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial determination. The Plan Administrator shall render its decision to the claimant in writing in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time, in which case decision shall be rendered as soon after the sixty (60) day period as possible, but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. If the Plan Administrator determines such an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension indicating the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render the determination on review shall be furnished to the claimant prior to the termination of the initial sixty (60) day period. The claimant shall be provided with notification of the benefit determination on review. In the case of an adverse benefit determination, the notification shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

Failure to receive notification within the sixty (60) or one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be deemed a denial of the appeal.

4.3    Legal Action.    No legal action for benefits under Section 6.9 the Plan may be brought until the claimant (i) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with the procedures described by Section 4.1 above, (ii) has been notified by the Plan Administrator that the application is denied (or the application is deemed denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to act on it within the established time period), (iii) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with the appeal procedure described in Section 4.2 above and (iv) has been notified in writing that the Plan Administrator has denied the appeal (or the appeal is deemed to be denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to take any action on the claim within the time prescribed by Section 4.2 above).

4.4    Disability Claims.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.4 will apply if a claim for a benefit requires a determination of Disability under the Plan.

If the Plan Administrator requires additional information from the claimant to process the Disability benefit claim and a timely notice requesting the additional information is transmitted to the claimant, the claimant must provide the additional information within 45 days of the date the notice is provided. The claims review period will be temporarily suspended until the earlier of the date the claimant provides the required information or the end of the permitted response period.

The notice requesting additional information may also serve as notice of a claim denial if the notice clearly states that unless the claimant provides the requested information within the prescribed time period, the claim will be denied for failure to provide sufficient information. A combined notice must provide both the information described above and the information under Notice of Denial below. If the claimant is required to provide additional information, the Plan Administrator has discretion to decide whether to request the information and extend the initial review period, as described in this section or, instead, to deny the claim on the basis that there is not sufficient information to proceed.

claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation is available upon request, free of charge;

The notice shall also include a statement advising the claimant that, within 180 days of the date the notice is received by the claimant, the claimant may obtain review of the decision as explained below.

The information shall be provided to the claimant free of charge and as soon as possible so that the claimant shall have a reasonable opportunity to review the information and submit a response before the reviewer is required to render its decision. If the reviewer decides for whatever reason to deny, whether in whole or in part, the appeal of an adverse Disability benefit determination, the reviewer’s decision shall be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner and contain the following:

4.5    Interpretation. In reviewing claims, in addition to the authority under Article VI of the Plan (and not by way of limitation), the Plan Administrator shall have sole and full discretionary authority to interpret the terms of the Plan, including any uncertain terms, to determine eligibility for, entitlement to, and the amount of any benefits, and to make factual findings and determine any other claims related to the Plan. Any interpretation or determination made pursuant to such discretionary authority shall be given full force and effect and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all interested parties and shall be afforded the maximum deference permitted by law.

Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator expressly reserves the right, at any time, for any reason, without limitation, and in its sole and absolute discretion, to

terminate, amend or modify the Plan and any or all of the benefits provided thereunder, either in whole or in part, whether as to all persons covered thereby or as to one or more groups thereof, provided, however, that except as required by law, the Plan may not be amended or terminated within six (6) months prior to a Change in Control or on or within two (2) years immediately following a Change in Control in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of a Participant without the express written consent of the Participant so affected. If a Participant has become entitled to Severance Pay or is currently receiving Severance Pay and such Participant’s Separation Agreement and General Release of Claims has become effective, as provided under Article III, prior to such termination, amendment or modification, such severance payable shall not be reduced by the termination, amended or modification. The termination, amendment or modification of the Plan shall be effected solely by a document in writing.

6.1    Plan Interpretation and Benefit Determination. The Plan is administered and operated by the Plan Administrator, who has the exclusive discretionary authority and power to determine eligibility for benefits and to construe the terms and provisions of the Plan, to determine questions of fact and law arising under the Plan, to direct disbursements pursuant to the Plan and to exercise all other powers specified herein or which may be implied from the provisions hereof. The Plan Administrator may adopt such rules for the conduct of the administration of the Plan as it may deem appropriate. All interpretations and determinations of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding upon all parties and persons affected thereby. The Plan Administrator may appoint one or more individuals and delegate such of its powers and duties as it deems desirable to any such individual(s), in which case every reference herein made to the Plan Administrator shall be deemed to mean or include the appointed individual(s) as to matters within their jurisdiction. Neither the Plan Administrator nor anyone acting on its behalf shall be liable in any manner for any action taken or determination made under the Plan in good faith.

6.2    No Additional Rights Created. Neither the establishment of this Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the payment of any benefits hereunder, shall be construed as giving to any Participant, any beneficiary, or other person any legal or equitable right against the Company or any officer, Director or employee thereof; and in no event shall the terms and conditions of employment by the Company of any Participant be modified or in any way affected by this Plan. There is no promise of employment of any kind by the Company contained in this Plan. The Company continues to have the absolute right to terminate a Participant’s employment with or Without Cause.

6.3    Records. The records of the Company with respect to Base Salary, Incentive Compensation, Accrued Compensation, Pro-Rata Bonus, and all other relevant matters shall be conclusive for all purposes of this Plan.

6.4    Construction. This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of Delaware to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control. In addition, this Plan is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, and to the extent this Plan is not so exempt, to comply with Section 409A, and this Plan should be interpreted, administered and operated accordingly. The Company does not guarantee the tax treatment of any payments or benefits under this Plan, whether pursuant to

the Code, federal, state or local tax law or regulations. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the terms of the Plan shall be modified to the extent required to meet the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 409A of the Code, or other federal law applicable to the employment arrangements between a Participant and the Company.

6.5    Financing. The Company shall pay for benefits under the Plan out of its general assets. No Participant or any other person shall have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of the Company. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under this Plan, such right shall not be secured by any assets of the Company.

6.6    Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and permitted assigns and the Company shall require any successor or assign to expressly assume and agree to perform under the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place. The Company may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations hereunder except to a successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or to an Affiliate of the Company. The term “the Company” as used herein shall include a corporation or other entity acquiring all or substantially all the assets and business of the Company (including this Agreement) whether by operation of law or otherwise.

6.7    Incompetency. In the event that the Plan Administrator finds that a Participant is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, then benefits payable hereunder, unless claim has been made therefore by a duly appointed guardian, committee, or other legal representative, may be paid in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall determine, and the application thereof shall be a complete discharge of all liability for any payments or benefits to which such Participant (or designated beneficiary) was or would have been otherwise entitled under this Plan.

6.8     No Mitigation. A Participant shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for under this Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise and, except as provided in Sections 3.4(d) or (e) above, no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to a Participant in any subsequent employment.

6.9    Arbitration. Any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan, or its interpretation, application, implementation, breach or enforcement which the parties are unable to resolve by mutual agreement, shall be settled by submission by either party of the controversy, claim or dispute to binding arbitration in New York City, in the Borough of Manhattan (unless the parties agree in writing to a different location), before a single arbitrator in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. In any such arbitration proceeding the parties agree to provide all discovery deemed necessary by the arbitrator. The decision and award made by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto for all purposes, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its or her costs and expenses in any such arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees; provided, however, if a Participant prevails on substantially all material claims, the Company shall reimburse the Participant for his or her

reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. It is part of the essence of the Plan that any claims hereunder shall be resolved expeditiously and as confidentially as possible. Accordingly, all proceedings in any arbitration shall be conducted under seal and kept strictly confidential. In that regard, no party shall use, disclose or permit the disclosure of any information, evidence or documents produced by any other party in the arbitration proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the proceedings except as necessary and appropriate for the preparation and conduct of the arbitration proceedings, or as may be required by any legal process, or as required in an action in aid of arbitration or for enforcement of or appeal from an arbitral award. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the party intending to make such disclosure shall give the other party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford such other party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.

6.10    Remedies. All remedies hereunder are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies provided for by law and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

6.11    Notice. Notices and all other communications provided for in the Plan shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or sent by Certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses last given by each party to the other, provided that all notices to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer with a copy to the Company’s General Counsel. All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof or on the third business day after the mailing thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

6.12    Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold the amount, if any, of all taxes of any applicable jurisdiction required to be withheld by an employer with respect to any amount paid to Participant hereunder. The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make all determinations as to whether it is obligated to withhold any taxes hereunder and the amount thereof.

6.13    Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistency between any provision of the Plan and any provision of any employee handbook, personnel manual, program, policy, or arrangement of the Company or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any provisions relating to notice requirements and post-employment restrictions), the provisions of the Plan shall control.

6.14    Beneficiaries/References. In the event of Participant’s death or a judicial determination of her incompetence, references in this Plan to Participant shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to her beneficiary, estate or other legal representative.

6.15    Survivorship. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the respective rights and obligations of a Participant and the Company hereunder shall survive the Participant’s termination of employment. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, the provisions of Article III and Section 6.10 shall survive the Participant’s termination of employment.

6.16    Severability. The provisions of the Plan shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

6.17    Non-transferability. Neither the Plan nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Participant, Participant’s beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

6.18    Non-Duplication of Benefits. The Plan is intended to supersede, and not to duplicate, any other plan, program, arrangement or agreement providing the Participant with severance or related benefits in the case of a Participant’s Termination.

6.19    Certain Rules of Construction.

6.    The Release is executed by Executive voluntarily and is not based upon any representations or statements of any kind made by the Company or any of the other Releasees as to the merits, legal liabilities or value of Executive’s claims. Executive acknowledges that Executive has had a full and reasonable opportunity to consider the Release and that Executive has not been pressured or in any way coerced into executing the Release. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that she is executing this Release in exchange for good and valuable consideration in addition to anything of value to which Executive is otherwise entitled.

7.    The exclusive venue for any disputes arising hereunder shall be the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest

extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto also agrees that any final and unappealable judgment against a party hereto in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside of the United States. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment.

8.    The Release and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware. If any provision hereof is unenforceable or is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and this document and its terms shall be construed and enforced as if such unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect, and the court construing the provisions shall add as a part hereof a provision as similar in terms and effect to such unenforceable provision as may be enforceable, in lieu of the unenforceable provision.

9.    The Release shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.
