  Directors authorized separation agreements which will provide the officers with
  severance benefits in exchange for a release of claims and an agreement to
  provide Cendant with post-termination services and protections for no additional
  compensation beyond the severance benefits described herein. Messrs. Sheehan and
  Forbes will receive severance benefits comprised of a lump sum cash severance
  payment equal to $6,839,625 and $4,709,250, respectively, which is equal to 299%
  of each officer&#8217;s current rate of base salary plus current target bonus, and the
  acceleration of equity incentive awards pursuant to such officers&#8217; employment
  agreements. In addition, Mr. Sheehan will receive vested post-termination
  medical benefits pursuant to a program sponsored by Avis, and Mr. Forbes will
  receive certain post-termination medical benefits and relocation benefits, both
  pursuant to the terms of their existing employment agreements. In connection
  with the separation agreements, Messrs. Sheehan's and Forbes' employment
  agreements will terminate, except for certain provisions relating to

  Item

  Termination
        of Material Definitive Agreement.
  On March
  14, 2005, Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") announced that its previously
  disclosed strategic realignment and disposition of several non-core business
  units will result in the streamlining of its division management structure and
  changes in reporting relationships. Cendant's press release announcing the
  streamlining of its division management structure is included as
  Exhibit
  99.1
  to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
  reference.
  In
  connection with this strategic realignment and disposition, Kevin M. Sheehan,
  Chief Executive Officer of our Vehicle Services Division, and Scott E. Forbes,
  Senior Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Cendant Europe, Middle
  East and Africa, will be leaving Cendant effective May 6, 2005.
  In
  connection with the departure of Messrs. Sheehan and Forbes, our Board of
  Directors authorized separation agreements which will provide the officers with
  severance benefits in exchange for a release of claims and an agreement to
  provide Cendant with post-termination services and protections for no additional
  compensation beyond the severance benefits described herein. Messrs. Sheehan and
  Forbes will receive severance benefits comprised of a lump sum cash severance
  payment equal to $6,839,625 and $4,709,250, respectively, which is equal to 299%
  of each officer's current rate of base salary plus current target bonus, and the
  acceleration of equity incentive awards pursuant to such officers' employment
  agreements. In addition, Mr. Sheehan will receive vested post-termination
  medical benefits pursuant to a program sponsored by Avis, and Mr. Forbes will
  receive certain post-termination medical benefits and relocation benefits, both
  pursuant to the terms of their existing employment agreements. In connection
  with the separation agreements, Messrs. Sheehan's and Forbes' employment
  agreements will terminate, except for certain provisions relating to
  post-termination obligations that will survive.
  In
  addition to providing a release of claims against Cendant, Messrs. Sheehan's and
  Forbes' separation agreements will provide for extended restricted periods
  applicable to post-employment non-competition and non-solicitation covenants
  which will now have terms of 3 years and 4 years, respectively. Messrs. Sheehan
  and Forbes will also provide certain transition and consulting services to
  Cendant through December 31, 2008, and will remain available for the rest of
  their respective lives to provide assistance with Cendant legal matters for no
  additional compensation.
  Item
        8.01
  Other
        Events.
  On March
  8, 2005, we announced that our board of directors approved a change in our
  dividend policy to increase our regular quarterly cash dividend by 22% to $0.11
  from $0.09 per common share, effective with the third quarter dividend payment.
  The actual declaration of any future dividends and the establishment of the
  record dates related thereto remains subject to further action by our board. In
  addition, we announced that our board formally approved our plans for the
  previously announced disposition of our Marketing Services Division. As a
  result, the division will be classified as a discontinued operation in the first
  quarter of 2005. Our press release containing these announcements is included as
  Exhibit
  99.2
  to this
  Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
