CENDANT EXTENDS EXPIRATION TIME FOR TENDER OFFERS

NEW YORK 07-10-2006 -- Cendant Corporation (NYSE:CD) today announced that, in
connection with its previously announced tender offers for its outstanding 6.250% Senior
Notes due 2008, 6.25% Senior Notes due 2010, 7.375% Senior Notes due 2013 and
7.125% Senior Notes due 2015, it is extending the expiration time of the tender offers to
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the evening of Thursday, July 27, 2006. Pricing will
be calculated by the dealer managers at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 25,
2006, unless extended by the Company, but in no event shall the pricing date be less
than two business days prior to the expiration date.

The cash tender offers were initiated by the Company on June 14, 2006, and included a
solicitation of consents to proposed amendments to the indenture governing the notes.
As previously announced, through June 27, 2006, the Company received consents from
holders of each series of notes that exceeded the requisite consents needed to amend the
indenture with respect to each series of notes. Such consents may not be revoked.

As a result of the successful completion of the consent solicitations, the Company and the
trustee under the indenture have entered into a supplemental indenture that will
eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain
other related provisions of the indenture. The supplemental indenture will not become
operative unless and until payment is made for notes accepted for purchase by the
Company pursuant to the tender offers.

Except as set forth above, all other provisions of the tender offers and consent
solicitations with respect to the notes remain unchanged. The Company reserves the
right to further amend or extend the tender offers and the consent solicitations in its sole
discretion.

Cendant's purchase of the notes remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various
conditions, including declaration of the dividends of the common stock of Realogy and
Wyndham Worldwide to holders of Cendant common stock by the Company's Board of
Directors; Wyndham Worldwide's incurrence of debt under its new credit facilities and
transfer of proceeds from such borrowings to the Company; Realogy's incurrence of debt
under its new credit facilities and transfer of proceeds from such borrowings to the
Company; and execution by the Company's Travelport subsidiary of new credit facilities,
incurrence of debt thereunder and transfer of proceeds from such borrowings to the
Company or the closing of the sale of Travelport by the Company and receipt by the
Company of cash proceeds of no less than $1.8 billion which can be used to partially fund
the tender offers.

Merrill Lynch & Co. are the Lead Joint Dealer Managers for the tender offers and Lead
Solicitation Agents for the consent solicitations. Investors with questions regarding the

None of the Company, its Board of Directors, the Information Agent or the dealer
managers makes any recommendation as to whether holders of the notes should tender
or refrain from tendering notes or as to whether holders of the notes should provide
consents to the proposed amendments. This press release does not constitute an offer to
