23
· | Contingent litigation liabilities The Company assumed 37.5% of liabilities for certain litigation relating to, arising out of or resulting from certain lawsuits in which Cendant is named as the defendant. The indemnification obligation will continue until the underlying lawsuits are resolved. The Company will indemnify Cendant to the extent that Cendant is required to make payments related to any of the underlying lawsuits. As the indemnification obligation relates to matters in various stages of litigation, the maximum exposure cannot be quantified. Due to the inherently uncertain nature of the litigation process, the timing of payments related to these liabilities cannot reasonably be predicted, but is expected to occur over several years. Since the Separation, Cendant settled a majority of these lawsuits and the Company assumed a portion of the related indemnification obligations. For each settlement, the Company paid 37.5% of the aggregate settlement amount to Cendant. The Company’s payment obligations under the settlements were greater or less than the Company’s accruals, depending on the matter. On September 7, 2007, Cendant received an adverse ruling in a litigation matter for which the Company retained a 37.5% indemnification obligation. The judgment on the adverse ruling was entered on May 16, 2008. On May 23, 2008, Cendant filed an appeal of the judgment and, on July 1, 2009, an order was entered denying the appeal. As a result of the denial of the appeal, Realogy and the Company determined to pay the judgment. On July 23, 2009, the Company paid its portion of the aforementioned judgment ($37 million). Although the judgment for the underlying liability for this matter has been paid, the phase of the litigation involving the determination of fees owed the plaintiffs’ attorneys remains pending. Similar to the contingent liability, the Company is responsible for 37.5% of any attorneys’ fees payable. As a result of settlements and payments to Cendant, as well as other reductions and accruals for developments in active litigation matters, the Company’s aggregate accrual for outstanding Cendant contingent litigation liabilities was $5 million as of March 31, 2010. | |
· | Contingent tax liabilities Prior to the Separation, the Company was included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns of Cendant through the Separation date for the 2006 period then ended. The Company is generally liable for 37.5% of certain contingent tax liabilities. In addition, each of the Company, Cendant and Realogy may be responsible for 100% of certain of Cendant’s tax liabilities that will provide the responsible party with a future, offsetting tax benefit. The Company will pay to Cendant the amount of taxes allocated pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, as amended during the third quarter of 2008, for the payment of certain taxes. As a result of the amendment to the tax sharing agreement, the Company recorded a gross up of its contingent tax liability and has a corresponding deferred tax asset of $35 million as of March 31, 2010. |
24
· | Cendant contingent and other corporate liabilities The Company has assumed 37.5% of corporate liabilities of Cendant including liabilities relating to (i) Cendant’s terminated or divested businesses; (ii) liabilities relating to the Travelport sale, if any; and (iii) generally any actions with respect to the Separation plan or the distributions brought by any third party. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss cannot be quantified as this guarantee relates primarily to future claims that may be made against Cendant. The Company assessed the probability and amount of potential liability related to this guarantee based on the extent and nature of historical experience. | |
· | Guarantee related to deferred compensation arrangements In the event that Cendant, Realogy and/or Travelport are not able to meet certain deferred compensation obligations under specified plans for certain current and former officers and directors because of bankruptcy or insolvency, the Company has guaranteed such obligations (to the extent relating to amounts deferred in respect of 2005 and earlier). This guarantee will remain outstanding until such deferred compensation balances are distributed to the respective officers and directors. The maximum exposure cannot be quantified as the guarantee, in part, is related to the value of deferred investments as of the date of the requested distribution. |

(d) | Represents total revenue generated from fees associated with memberships, exchange transactions, member-related rentals and other servicing for the period divided by the average number of vacation exchange members during the period. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, exchange revenue per member increased 1%. | |
(e) | Represents the number of transactions that are generated in connection with customers booking their vacation rental stays through us. One rental transaction is recorded each time a standard one-week rental is booked. | |
(f) | Includes the impact from the acquisition of Hoseasons Holdings Ltd. (“Hoseasons”), which was acquired on March 1, 2010; therefore, such operating statistics for 2010 are not presented on a comparable basis to the 2009 operating statistics. | |
(g) | Represents the net rental price generated from renting vacation properties to customers divided by the number of vacation rental transactions. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements, the average net price per vacation rental decreased 4%. | |
(h) | Represents total sales of VOIs, including sales under the Wyndham Asset Affiliation Model (“WAAM”), before the net effect of percentage-of-completion accounting and loan loss provisions. We believe that Gross VOI sales provides an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the sales volume of this business during a given reporting period. | |

(j) | Represents the number of tours taken by guests in our efforts to sell VOIs. | |
(k) | VPG is calculated by dividing Gross VOI sales (excluding tele-sales upgrades, which are non-tour upgrade sales) by the number of tours. Tele-sales upgrades were $15 million and $24 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We have excluded non-tour upgrade sales in the calculation of VPG because non-tour upgrade sales are generated by a different marketing channel. We believe that VPG provides an enhanced understanding of the performance of our vacation ownership business because it directly measures the efficiency of this business’ tour selling efforts during a given reporting period. |

· | Contingent litigation liabilities We assumed 37.5% of liabilities for certain litigation relating to, arising out of or resulting from certain lawsuits in which Cendant is named as the defendant. The indemnification obligation will continue until the underlying lawsuits are resolved. We will indemnify Cendant to the extent that Cendant is required to make payments related to any of the underlying lawsuits. As the indemnification obligation relates to matters in various stages of litigation, the maximum exposure cannot be quantified. Due to the inherently uncertain nature of the litigation process, the timing of payments related to these liabilities cannot reasonably be predicted, but is expected to occur over several years. Since the Separation, Cendant |
42
settled a majority of these lawsuits and we assumed a portion of the related indemnification obligations. For each settlement, we paid 37.5% of the aggregate settlement amount to Cendant. Our payment obligations under the settlements were greater or less than our accruals, depending on the matter. On September 7, 2007, Cendant received an adverse ruling in a litigation matter for which we retained a 37.5% indemnification obligation. The judgment on the adverse ruling was entered on May 16, 2008. On May 23, 2008, Cendant filed an appeal of the judgment and, on July 1, 2009, an order was entered denying the appeal. As a result of the denial of the appeal, Realogy and we determined to pay the judgment. On July 23, 2009, we paid our portion of the aforementioned judgment ($37 million). Although the judgment for the underlying liability for this matter has been paid, the phase of the litigation involving the determination of fees owed the plaintiffs’ attorneys remains pending. Similar to the contingent liability, we are responsible for 37.5% of any attorneys’ fees payable. As a result of settlements and payments to Cendant, as well as other reductions and accruals for developments in active litigation matters, our aggregate accrual for outstanding Cendant contingent litigation liabilities was $5 million as of March 31, 2010. |
· | Contingent tax liabilities Prior to the Separation, we were included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns of Cendant through the Separation date for the 2006 period then ended. We are generally liable for 37.5% of certain contingent tax liabilities. In addition, each of us, Cendant and Realogy may be responsible for 100% of certain of Cendant’s tax liabilities that will provide the responsible party with a future, offsetting tax benefit. We will pay to Cendant the amount of taxes allocated pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, as amended during the third quarter of 2008, for the payment of certain taxes. As a result of the amendment to the tax sharing agreement, we recorded a gross up of our contingent tax liability and have a corresponding deferred tax asset of $35 million as of March 31, 2010. |
· | Cendant contingent and other corporate liabilities We have assumed 37.5% of corporate liabilities of Cendant including liabilities relating to (i) Cendant’s terminated or divested businesses; (ii) liabilities relating to the Travelport sale, if any; and (iii) generally any actions with respect to the Separation plan or the distributions brought by any third party. Our maximum exposure to loss cannot be quantified as this guarantee relates primarily to future claims that may be made against Cendant. We assessed the probability and amount of potential liability related to this guarantee based on the extent and nature of historical experience. | |
· | Guarantee related to deferred compensation arrangements In the event that Cendant, Realogy and/or Travelport are not able to meet certain deferred compensation obligations under specified plans for certain current and former officers and directors because of bankruptcy or insolvency, we have guaranteed such obligations (to the extent relating to amounts deferred in respect of 2005 and earlier). This guarantee will remain outstanding until such deferred compensation balances are distributed to the respective officers and directors. The maximum exposure cannot be quantified as the guarantee, in part, is related to the value of deferred investments as of the date of the requested distribution. |

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
(a) | Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors |
45
· | changes in operating costs, including inflation, energy, labor costs (including minimum wage increases and unionization), workers’ compensation and health-care related costs and insurance; | |
· | changes in desirability of geographic regions of the hotels or resorts in our business; | |
· | changes in the supply and demand for hotel rooms, vacation exchange and rental services and vacation ownership products and services; | |
· | seasonality in our businesses may cause fluctuations in our operating results; | |
· | geographic concentrations of our operations and customers; | |
· | increases in costs due to inflation that may not be fully offset by price and fee increases in our business; | |
· | availability of acceptable financing and cost of capital as they apply to us, our customers, current and potential hotel franchisees and developers, owners of hotels with which we have hotel management contracts, our RCI affiliates and other developers of vacation ownership resorts; | |
· | our ability to securitize the receivables that we originate in connection with sales of vacation ownership interests; | |
· | the risk that purchasers of vacation ownership interests who finance a portion of the purchase price default on their loans due to adverse macro or personal economic conditions or otherwise, which would increase loan loss reserves and adversely affect loan portfolio performance, each of which would negatively impact our results of operations; that if such defaults occur during the early part of the loan amortization period we will not have recovered the marketing, selling, administrative and other costs associated with such vacation ownership interest; such costs will be incurred again in connection with the resale of the repossessed vacation ownership interest; and the value we recover in a default is not, in all instances, sufficient to cover the outstanding debt; | |
· | the quality of the services provided by franchisees, our vacation exchange and rentals business, resorts with units that are exchanged through our vacation exchange business and/or resorts in which we sell vacation ownership interests may adversely affect our image and reputation; | |
· | our ability to generate sufficient cash to buy from third-party suppliers the products that we need to provide to the participants in our points programs who want to redeem points for such products; | |
· | overbuilding in one or more segments of the hospitality industry and/or in one or more geographic regions; | |
· | changes in the number and occupancy and room rates of hotels operating under franchise and management agreements; | |
· | changes in the relative mix of franchised hotels in the various lodging industry price categories; | |
· | our ability to develop and maintain positive relations and contractual arrangements with current and potential franchisees, hotel owners, vacation exchange members, vacation ownership interest owners, resorts with units that are exchanged through our vacation exchange business and/or owners of vacation properties that our vacation rentals business markets for rental; | |
· | the availability of and competition for desirable sites for the development of vacation ownership properties; difficulties associated with obtaining entitlements to develop vacation ownership properties; liability under state and local laws with respect to any construction defects in the vacation ownership properties we develop; and our ability to adjust our pace of completion of resort development relative to the pace of our sales of the underlying vacation ownership interests; | |
· | our ability to adjust our business model to generate greater cash flow and require less capital expenditures; | |
· | private resale of vacation ownership interests could adversely affect our vacation ownership resorts and vacation exchange businesses; | |
· | revenues from our lodging business are indirectly affected by our franchisees’ pricing decisions; | |
· | organized labor activities and associated litigation; | |
· | maintenance and infringement of our intellectual property; |
46
· | the bankruptcy or insolvency of any one of our customers could impair our ability to collect outstanding fees or other amounts due or otherwise exercise our contractual rights; | |
· | increases in the use of third-party Internet services to book online hotel reservations could adversely impact our revenues; and | |
· | disruptions in relationships with third parties, including marketing alliances and affiliations with e-commerce channels. |
· | our cash flows from operations or available lines of credit may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, which could result in a default and acceleration of the underlying debt; | |
· | if we are unable to comply with the terms of the financial covenants under our revolving credit facility, including a breach of the financial ratios or tests, such non-compliance could result in a default and acceleration of the underlying revolver debt and under other debt instruments that contain cross-default provisions; | |
· | our leverage may adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing; | |
· | our leverage may require the dedication of a significant portion of our cash flows to the payment of principal and interest thus reducing the availability of cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other operating needs; | |
· | increases in interest rates; |
47
· | rating agency downgrades for our debt that could increase our borrowing costs; | |
· | failure or non-performance of counterparties for foreign exchange and interest rate hedging transactions; | |
· | we may not be able to securitize our vacation ownership contract receivables on terms acceptable to us because of, among other factors, the performance of the vacation ownership contract receivables, adverse conditions in the market for vacation ownership loan-backed notes and asset-backed notes in general, the credit quality and financial stability of insurers of securitizations transactions, and the risk that the actual amount of uncollectible accounts on our securitized vacation ownership contract receivables and other credit we extend is greater than expected; | |
· | our securitizations contain portfolio performance triggers which, if violated, may result in a disruption or loss of cash flow from such transactions; | |
· | a reduction in commitments from surety bond providers may impair our vacation ownership business by requiring us to escrow cash in order to meet regulatory requirements of certain states; | |
· | prohibitive cost and inadequate availability of capital could restrict the development or acquisition of vacation ownership resorts by us and the financing of purchases of vacation ownership interests; and | |
· | if interest rates increase significantly, we may not be able to increase the interest rate offered to finance purchases of vacation ownership interests by the same amount of the increase. |
