3. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Forward-looking statements in our public filings or other public statements are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to
be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements or other public statements. These forward-looking statements are based on various
facts and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other important factors, and changes in
such facts, assumptions or factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-
looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our future financial
performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives. Statements preceded by, followed by or that
otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,”
“may increase,” “hope,” “may fluctuate,” and similar expression or future or conditional verbs such as “will,”
“should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward looking in nature and not historical facts. You
should understand that the following important factors could affect our future results and could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:
• our substantial leverage as a result of the Transactions (as defined within); At June 30, 2008 our total
debt (including the current portion) was $6,431 million (which does not include $520 million of letters
of credit issued under our synthetic letter of credit facility and an additional $131 million of
outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility). In addition, as of June 30, 2008, our
current liabilities included $898 million of securitization obligations which were collateralized by
$1,233 million of securitization assets that are not available to pay our general obligations. Moreover
on April 11, 2008, we notified the holders of the Senior Toggle Notes of our intent to utilize the PIK
Interest option to satisfy the October 2008 interest payment obligation. The impact of this election will
increase the principal amount of our Senior Toggle Notes by $32 million on October 15, 2008;
• an event of default under our senior secured credit facility, including but not limited to a failure to
maintain the then applicable senior secured leverage ratio, or under our indentures or relocation
securitization facilities or a lack of liquidity caused by the Company’s substantial leverage and the
continuing adverse housing market would materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations and business;
• a continuing drop in consumer confidence and/or the impact of a recession or a prolonged period of
slow economic growth;
• continuing adverse developments in the residential real estate markets, either regionally or nationally,
due to lower sales, downward pressure on price, excessive home inventory levels, and reduced
availability of mortgage financing or availability only at higher rates, including but not limited to:
• a decline in the number of homesales and/or prices and in broker commission rates and a
deterioration in other economic factors that particularly impact the residential real estate market;
• a negative perception of the market for residential real estate;
• continued high levels of foreclosure activity;
• competition in our existing and future lines of business and the financial resources of competitors;
• our failure (inadvertent or otherwise) to comply with laws and regulations and any changes in
laws and regulations; and
• local and regional conditions in the areas where our franchisees and brokerage operations are
located;
• limitations on flexibility in operating our business due to restrictions contained in our debt agreements;
• adverse developments in general business, economic and political conditions, including changes in
short-term or long-term interest rates, and any outbreak or escalation of hostilities on a national,
regional and international basis;
1
4. • our failure to complete future acquisitions or to realize anticipated benefits from completed
acquisitions;
• our failure to maintain or acquire franchisees and brands in future acquisitions or the inability of
franchisees to survive the current real estate downturn or to realize gross commission income at levels
that they maintained in recent years;
• actions by our franchisees that could harm our business;
• our inability to access capital and/or securitization markets including our inability to continue to
securitize certain assets of our relocation business, which would require us to find alternative sources
of liquidity, which if available, may be on less favorable terms;
• the loss of any of our senior management or key managers in specific business units;
• the final resolutions or outcomes with respect to Cendant’s contingent and other corporate assets or
contingent litigation liabilities, contingent tax liabilities and other corporate liabilities and any related
actions for indemnification made pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated July 27,
2006 (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) among Realogy, Cendant, Wyndham Worldwide
Corporation (“Wyndham Worldwide”) and Travelport Inc. (“Travelport”) and the Tax Sharing
Agreement dated as of July 28, 2006 and the Tax Sharing Amendment dated as of July 9, 2008 among
Realogy, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport regarding the principal transactions relating to our
separation from Cendant and the other agreements that govern certain aspects of our relationship with
Cendant, Wyndham Worldwide and Travelport, including any adverse impact on our future cash flows
or future results of operations;
• our inability to achieve the cost savings and other benefits anticipated as a result of our restructuring
initiatives or such savings cost more or take longer to implement than we project;
• the possibility that the distribution of our stock to holders of Cendant’s common stock in connection
with the Separation (as defined within), together with certain related transactions and our sale to
Apollo, were to fail to qualify as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
• changes in our ownership structure; and
• the cumulative effect of adverse litigation or arbitration awards against us and the adverse effect of new
regulatory interpretations, rules or laws.
Other factors not identified above, including the risk factors described under the headings “Forward-
Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007 (the “2007 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), may
also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by our forward-looking statements. Most of
these factors are difficult to anticipate and are generally beyond our control.
You should consider the areas of risk described above, as well as those set forth under the heading “Risk
Factors” in the 2007 Form 10-K and this report, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements
that may be made by us and our businesses generally. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material
information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any
forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless we are
required to do so by law. For any forward-looking statement contained in our public filings or other public
statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

5. PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of Realogy Corporation
Parsippany, New Jersey
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Realogy Corporation (the
“Company”) as of June 30, 2008 (successor), and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 (successor), the period from April 10, 2007 to
June 30, 2007 (successor), the period from April 1, 2007 to April 9, 2007 (predecessor) and the period from
January 1, 2007 to April 9, 2007 (predecessor) and cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008
(successor), the period from April 10, 2007 to June 30, 2007 (successor), and the period from January 1, 2007 to
April 9, 2007 (predecessor). These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such
condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2007 (successor), and
the related combined statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated March 19, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements and included explanatory paragraphs related to the fact that (i) as discussed in
Note 1 to the consolidated and combined financial statements, prior to its separation from Cendant Corporation
(“Cendant”), the Company was comprised of the assets and liabilities used in managing and operating the real
estate services businesses of Cendant, (ii) included in Notes 14 and 15 of the consolidated and combined
financial statements is a summary of transactions with related parties, (iii) as discussed in Note 15 to the
consolidated and combined financial statements, in connection with its separation from Cendant, the Company
entered into certain guarantee commitments with Cendant and has recorded the fair value of these guarantees as
of July 31, 2006, (iv) as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated and combined financial statements, effective
April 10, 2007, the Company was acquired through a merger in a business combination accounted for as a
purchase, and (v) as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated and combined financial statements, effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an
interpretation of FASB Statement 109. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

10. REALOGY CORPORATION AND THE PREDECESSOR
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions)
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Realogy Corporation (“Realogy” or “the Company”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on January 27,
2006 to facilitate a plan by Cendant Corporation (“Cendant”) to separate Cendant into four independent
companies—one for each of Cendant’s real estate services, travel distribution services (“Travelport”), hospitality
services (including timeshare resorts) (“Wyndham Worldwide”), and vehicle rental businesses (“Avis Budget
Group”). Prior to July 31, 2006, the assets of the real estate services businesses of Cendant were transferred to
Realogy and on July 31, 2006, Cendant distributed all of the shares of the Company’s common stock held by it to
the holders of Cendant common stock issued and outstanding on the record date for the distribution, which was
July 21, 2006 (the “Separation”). The Separation was effective on July 31, 2006.
On December 15, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Domus Holdings
Corp. (“Holdings”) and Domus Acquisition Corp., which are affiliates of Apollo Management VI, L.P., an entity
affiliated with Apollo Management, L.P. (“Apollo”). In connection with the merger agreement, Holdings
established a direct wholly owned subsidiary, Domus Intermediate Holdings Corp. (“Intermediate”), to hold all
of Realogy’s issued and outstanding common stock acquired by Holdings in the merger of Domus Acquisition
Corp. with and into Realogy with Realogy being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). The Merger was
consummated on April 10, 2007.
The Company incurred indebtedness in connection with the Merger, the aggregate proceeds of which were
sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger consideration, repay a portion of the Company’s then outstanding
indebtedness and pay fees and expenses related to the Merger. See Note 6 “Short and Long Term Debt” for
additional information on the indebtedness incurred related to the Merger and for additional information related
to the Company’s senior secured leverage ratio that it is required to maintain. In addition, investment funds
affiliated with Apollo and an investment fund of co-investors managed by Apollo as well as members of the
Company’s management who purchased Holdings common stock with cash or through rollover equity
contributed $2,001 million to the Company to complete the Merger. We also refinanced the credit facilities
covering our relocation securitization facilities (“the Securitization Facilities Refinancing”). The term
“Transactions” refers to, collectively, (1) the Merger, (2) the offering of the notes, (3) the initial borrowings
under our senior secured credit facility, including our synthetic letter of credit facility, (4) the equity investment,
and (5) the Securitization Facilities Refinancings.
Although Realogy continues as the same legal entity after the Merger, the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for 2007 are presented for two periods: January 1, 2007
through April 9, 2007 (the “Predecessor Period” or “Predecessor,” as context requires) and April 10, 2007
through June 30, 2007 (the “Successor Period” or “Successor,” as context requires), which relate to the periods
preceding and succeeding the Merger, respectively. The results of the Successor Period are not comparable to the
results of the Predecessor Period due to the difference in the basis of presentation of purchase accounting as
compared to historical cost as well as the effect of the Transactions.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its Predecessor have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial
position as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the
periods presented herein. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal
and short-term variations. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and balances between entities
consolidated in these financial statements.
8
11. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its Predecessor should be
read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Company and its
Predecessor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
In presenting the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on
judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Business Description
The Company reports its operations in the following business segments:
• Real Estate Franchise Services (known as Realogy Franchise Group or RFG)—franchises the
Century 21®, Coldwell Banker®, ERA®, Sotheby’s International Realty®, Coldwell Banker
Commercial® and Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate brand names. We launched the Better
Homes and Gardens® Real Estate brand in July 2008. As of June 30, 2008, we had approximately

settlement and vendor management services to real estate companies, affinity groups, corporations and
financial institutions with many of these services provided in connection with the Company’s real
estate brokerage and relocation services business.
Purchase Price Allocation
We accounted for the Merger in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations”, whereby the purchase price paid to effect the Merger is
allocated to recognize the acquired assets and liabilities at fair value. The purchase price of $6,761 million
included the purchase of 217.8 million shares of outstanding common stock, the settlement of outstanding stock-
based awards and $68 million in direct acquisition costs.
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, the total purchase price was allocated to the Company’s
net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as set forth below. The excess
of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The
following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

12. Pro Forma Financial Information
The Company’s pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007, assuming that the
Merger occurred as of January 1, 2007, results in revenues of $3.2 billion and a net loss of $0.5 billion. This pro
forma information should not be relied upon as indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained
if the Merger had actually occurred at the beginning of each period presented, or of the results that may be
obtained in the future. The pro forma adjustments include the effect of purchase accounting adjustments,
depreciation and amortization, interest expense and related tax effects.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Indefinite Life Intangibles
In connection with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company is required to
assess goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if
circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company performs its required annual impairment
testing as of October 1st of each year subsequent to completing its annual forecasting process. During the fourth
quarter of 2007, the Company performed its annual impairment review of goodwill and unamortized intangible
assets. This review resulted in an impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2007 of $667 million
($445 million net of income tax benefit). The impairment charge reduced intangible assets by $550 million and
reduced goodwill by $117 million. The Company continues to assess events and circumstances that would
indicate an impairment has occurred given the current state of the housing market. The Company believes that no
events or circumstances have occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2008 that would require the
Company to reassess goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment.
Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS No. 133,
“Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities,” as amended (“SFAS No. 133”), which requires
that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. The accounting for
changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument is dependent upon whether the
derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging
relationship.
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts largely to manage its exposure to changes to foreign
currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. The
Company primarily manages its foreign currency exposure to the British Pound, Euro, Hong Kong Dollar and
Swiss Franc. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, the Company has chosen not to elect hedge accounting for these
forward contracts; therefore, any change in fair value is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts do, however, generally offset the impact of
changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically hedge.
On May 1, 2007, the Company entered into several floating to fixed interest rate swaps with varying
expiration dates with an aggregate notional value of $775 million to hedge the variability in cash flows resulting
from the term loan facility entered into on April 10, 2007. The Company is utilizing pay-fixed interest rate (and
receives 3-month LIBOR) swaps to perform this hedging strategy. The derivatives are being accounted for as
cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and the unfavorable fair market value of the swaps of $12
million, net of income taxes, is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss at June 30, 2008.
Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS
No. 157). SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value,
establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value and expands disclosures about
the use of fair value measurements. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position
10
13. FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” the Company deferred the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 for the Company’s nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those items recognized or
disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. The partial
adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s fair value measurements.
The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a
recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based
on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.
Level Input: Input Definitions:
Level I Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the
measurement date.
Level II Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability
through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level III Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at June 30, 2008 for assets/liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Level I Level II Level III Total
Certificates of deposit (primarily included in other current assets) . . . . . . . . . . $ 8 $— $— $8

liabilities) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . — (12) — (12)

The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to quoted market values. In
cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other
valuation techniques, as appropriate. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables,
relocation receivables, relocation properties held for sale, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other
current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The net periodic pension benefit for both the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was less than $1
million and is comprised of a benefit of $2 million for the expected return on assets offset by interest cost of
approximately $2 million.

14. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities,
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles,
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB
Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which delayed for one year the
applicability of SFAS No. 157’s fair value measurements to certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and
liabilities affected by the one-year delay. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the
potential impact of adopting the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position and
results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”) and
SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”
(“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 introduced significant changes in the accounting for
and reporting of business acquisitions and noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary. These pronouncements are
effective for business acquisitions consummated after the fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. In
addition, SFAS No. 160 requires retrospective application to the presentation and disclosure for all periods
presented in the financial statements. The Company intends to adopt these pronouncements on January 1, 2009
and is currently evaluating the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting of derivative
instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures enabling investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial condition, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 161 will
impact disclosures only and will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows.
In April 2008, The FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). This FSP allows an entity to use its own assumption or historical experience
about renewal or extension of an arrangement for a recognized intangible asset when determining the useful life
of the asset, even when there is likely to be substantial cost or material modifications to the arrangement. In the
absence of past experience, the entity shall consider the assumptions that market participants would use about
renewal and extension and adjust for the entity-specific factors. The FSP is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company intends to adopt the
guidance on January 1, 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). The guidance addresses the sources of generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) by grouping them into four descending categories. It provides the framework for selecting the
principles used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities that are presented in
conformity with the US GAAP. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. It is expected that SFAS No. 162 will not impact the Company’s
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

in those foreign operations.
3. ACQUISITIONS
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations were recorded in the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such
dates. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company have been included in the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations since their respective dates of acquisition. The Company is also in the
process of integrating the operations of its acquired businesses and expects to incur costs relating to such
integrations. These costs may result from integrating operating systems, relocating employees, closing facilities,
reducing duplicative efforts and exiting and consolidating other activities. These costs will be recorded in the
Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as adjustments to the purchase price or in the Company’s Consolidated
Statements of Operations as expenses, as appropriate.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of real estate brokerage operations, the Company obtains
contractual pendings and listings intangible assets, which represent the estimated fair values of homesale
transactions that are pending closing or homes listed for sale by the acquired brokerage operations. Pendings and
listings intangible assets are amortized over the estimated closing period of the underlying contracts and homes
listed for sale, which in most cases, is approximately five months.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the periods April 10, 2007 through June 30, 2007 and
January 1, 2007 through April 9, 2007, the Company made earnout payments for previously acquired businesses
of $4 million, less than $1 million and $18 million, respectively.
13
16. 2008 ACQUISITIONS
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company acquired four real estate brokerage operations
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NRT, for approximately $2 million of cash, in the aggregate, which
resulted in goodwill (based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price) of less than $2 million that was
assigned to the Company Owned Real Estate Brokerage Services segment.
2007 ACQUISITIONS
During the period April 10, 2007 to June 30, 2007, the Company acquired four real estate brokerage
operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NRT, for $4 million of cash, in the aggregate, which resulted in
goodwill of $3 million that was assigned to the Company Owned Real Estate Brokerage Services segment.
During the period January 1, 2007 to April 9, 2007, the Company acquired three real estate brokerage operations
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NRT, for $1 million of cash, in the aggregate, which resulted in goodwill of
less than $1 million that was assigned to the Company Owned Real Estate Brokerage Services segment.
In May 2007, the Company also acquired a Canadian real estate franchise operation through its Real Estate
Franchise Services segment for $13 million in cash which resulted in goodwill of $4 million.
None of the 2008 or 2007 acquisitions were significant to the Company’s results of operations, financial
position or cash flows individually or in the aggregate.

SENIOR SECURED CREDIT FACILITY
In connection with the closing of the Merger on April 10, 2007, the Company entered into a senior secured
credit facility consisting of (i) a $3,170 million term loan facility (including a $1,220 million delayed draw term
loan sub-facility), (ii) a $750 million revolving credit facility and (iii) a $525 million synthetic letter of credit
facility. The Company utilized $1,950 million of the term loan facility to finance a portion of the Merger,
including the payment of fees and expenses. The $1,220 million delayed draw term loan sub-facility was
available solely to finance the refinancing of the 2006 Senior Notes. The Company utilized $1,220 million of the
delayed draw facility to fund the purchases and pay related interest and fees of the 2006 Senior Notes in the third
and fourth quarter of 2007. Interest rates with respect to term loans under the senior secured credit facility are
based on, at the Company’s option, (a) adjusted LIBOR plus 3.0% or (b) the higher of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate plus 0.5% and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s prime rate (“ABR”) plus 2.0%. The term loan
facility provides for quarterly amortization payments totaling 1% per annum of the principal amount with the
balance due upon the final maturity date.
The Company’s senior secured credit facility provides for a six-year, $750 million revolving credit facility,
which includes a $200 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $50 million swingline loan sub-facility. The
Company uses the revolving credit facility for, among other things, working capital and other general corporate
purposes, including effecting permitted acquisitions and investments. Interest rates with respect to revolving
loans under the senior secured credit facility are based on, at the Company’s option, adjusted LIBOR plus 2.25%
or ABR plus 1.25% in each case subject to adjustment based on the attainment of certain leverage ratios.
16
19. The Company’s senior secured credit facility provides for a six-and-a-half-year $525 million synthetic letter
of credit facility for which the Company pays 300 basis points in interest on amounts utilized and is reduced by
1% each year. The amount available under the synthetic letter of credit was reduced to $522 million on
December 31, 2007 and to $520 million at June 30, 2008. On April 26, 2007 the synthetic letter of credit facility
was used to post a $500 million letter of credit to secure the fair value of the Company’s obligations in respect of
Cendant’s contingent and other liabilities that were assumed under the Separation and Distribution Agreement
and the remaining capacity was utilized for general corporate purposes. The stated amount of the standby
irrevocable letter of credit is subject to periodic adjustment to reflect the then current estimate of Cendant
contingent and other liabilities and will be terminated if (i) the Company’s senior unsecured credit rating is raised
to BB by Standard and Poor’s or Ba2 by Moody’s or (ii) the aggregate value of the former parent contingent
liabilities falls below $30 million.
The Company’s senior secured credit facility is secured to the extent legally permissible by substantially all
of the assets of the Company’s parent company, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors, including but not
limited to (a) a first-priority pledge of substantially all capital stock held by the Company or any subsidiary
guarantor (which pledge, with respect to obligations in respect of the borrowings secured by a pledge of the stock
of any first-tier foreign subsidiary, is limited to 100% of the non-voting stock (if any) and 65% of the voting
stock of such foreign subsidiary), and (b) perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all tangible and
intangible assets of the Company and each subsidiary guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
The Company’s senior secured credit facility contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants and
requires the Company to maintain on the last day of each quarter a senior secured leverage ratio not to exceed a
maximum amount. Specifically the Company’s senior secured net debt to trailing 12 month Adjusted EBITDA,
as defined in the credit facility, may not exceed 5.6 to 1 at March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008. That ratio steps
down to 5.35 to 1 at September 30, 2008, further steps down to 5.0 to 1 at September 30, 2009 and steps down to
4.75 to 1 at March 31, 2011 and thereafter. Based upon its current forecasts the Company expects to continue to
be in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio through June 30, 2009. However, because the projected
covenant calculation is based upon forecasted financial information there can be no assurance that such forecasts
will be achieved or that the Company will continue to be in compliance with the senior secured leverage ratio.
A breach of the senior secured leverage ratio or any of the other affirmative or restrictive covenants would
result in a default under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. In the event of a breach of the senior
secured leverage ratio for any trailing twelve month period, the Company has the right to cure the default through
the issuance of Holdings equity securities for cash, which in turn is contributed to the capital of the Company in
an amount sufficient to cure the breach. This cure is only available in three of any four consecutive quarters.
Other events of default under the senior secured credit facility include, without limitation, nonpayment, material
misrepresentations, insolvency, bankruptcy, certain judgments, change of control and cross-events of default on
material indebtedness.
Should the occurrence of an event of default under the senior secured credit facility occur, the lenders:
• will not be required to lend any additional amounts to the Company;
• could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to
be due and payable;
• could require the Company to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings; or
• could prevent the Company from making payments on the senior subordinated notes;
any of which could result in an event of default under the Notes (as defined below) and the Securitization
Facilities.
If the Company was unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the senior secured credit facility could
proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. The Company has pledged the
17
20. majority of the Company’s assets as collateral under the senior secured credit facility. If the lenders under the
senior secured credit facility accelerate the repayment of borrowings, the Company cannot assure you that it will
have sufficient assets to repay the senior secured credit facility and other indebtedness, including the Notes, or
will be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness. Even if the Company is able to obtain new
financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to the Company.
Current industry forecasts indicate that during the third and fourth quarters of 2008, the year over year
change in the number of homesale transactions and median homesale prices may decline by smaller percentages
and/or may increase, as compared to actual year over year declines experienced in those two factors in the first
two quarters of 2008. If those forecasts are not realized in the third and fourth quarters of 2008 and/or the
Company’s results for the third and fourth quarters of 2008 do not follow those forecasted trends, the Company
may have difficulty complying with the senior secured leverage ratio under the senior secured credit facility. In
such event, the Company would anticipate initiating additional cost saving measures (which would increase our
Adjusted EBITDA to give effect to such savings on a pro forma basis). Our parent company also has the right but
not the obligation to issue additional Holdings equity for cash and to infuse such capital into the Company, which
would have the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the senior secured leverage ratio. There
can be no assurance that our parent company would be able or willing to issue equity for cash and/or that such
additional cost savings would be sufficient to comply with the senior secured leverage ratio.
FIXED RATE SENIOR NOTES DUE 2014, SENIOR TOGGLE NOTES DUE 2014 AND SENIOR
SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2015
On April 10, 2007, the Company issued in a private placement $1,700 million aggregate principal amount of
10.50% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Fixed Rate Senior Notes”), $550 million aggregate principal amount of
11.00%/11.75% Senior Toggle Notes due 2014 (the “Senior Toggle Notes”) and $875 million aggregate principal
amount of 12.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes” and, together with
the Fixed Rate Senior Notes and Senior Toggle Notes issued in April 2007, referred to as the “old notes”).
On February 15, 2008, we completed an exchange offer of exchange notes for the old notes. The exchange
notes refer to the 10.50% Senior Notes due 2014, the 11.00%/11.75% Senior Toggle Notes due 2014 and the
12.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-4 and declared effective by the SEC on
January 9, 2008. The term “Notes” refers to the old notes and the exchange notes.
The Fixed Rate Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and will mature on April 15,
2014. Each Fixed Rate Senior Note bears interest at a rate per annum of 10.50% payable semiannually to holders
of record at the close of business on April 1 and October 1 immediately preceding the interest payment dates of
April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The Senior Toggle Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and will mature on April 15,
2014. Interest on the Senior Toggle Notes is payable semiannually to holders of record at the close of business on
April 1 or October 1 immediately preceding the interest payment date on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
For any interest payment period after the initial interest payment period and through October 15, 2011, the
Company may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the Senior Toggle Notes (1) entirely in cash (“Cash
Interest”), (2) entirely by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Senior Toggle Notes or by issuing
PIK Notes (“PIK Interest”) or (3) 50% as Cash Interest and 50% as PIK Interest. Interest for the first interest
period commencing on the Issue Date shall be payable entirely in cash. After October 15, 2011, the Company
will make all interest payments on the Senior Toggle Notes entirely in cash. The Company must elect the form of
interest payment with respect to each interest period by delivery of a notice to the trustee prior to the beginning
of each interest period. In the absence of an election for any interest period, interest on the Senior Toggle Notes
shall be payable according to the method of payment for the previous interest period. Cash interest on the Senior
Toggle Notes will accrue at a rate of 11.00% per annum. PIK Interest on the Senior Toggle Notes will accrue at
18
21. the Cash Interest rate per annum plus 0.75%. On April 11, 2008, the Company notified the holders of the senior
toggle notes of the Company’s intent to utilize the PIK Interest option to satisfy the October 2008 interest
payment obligation. The impact of this election will increase the principal amount of the Senior Toggle Notes by
$32 million on October 15, 2008. This PIK Interest election is now the default election for future interest periods
through October 15, 2011 unless the Company notifies otherwise prior to the commencement date of a future
interest period.
The Company would be subject to certain interest deduction limitations if the Senior Toggle Notes were
treated as “applicable high yield discount obligations” (“AHYDO”) within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of
the Internal Revenue Code. In order to avoid such treatment, at the end of each accrual period commencing with
the accrual period ending April 15, 2012, the Company is required to redeem for cash a portion of each Senior
Toggle Note then outstanding. The portion of a Senior Toggle Note required to be to redeemed is an amount
equal to the excess of the accrued original issue discount as of the end of such accrual period, less the amount of
interest paid in cash on or before such date, less the first-year yield (the issue price of the debt instrument
multiplied by its yield to maturity). The redemption price for the portion of each Senior Toggle Note so
redeemed would be 100% of the principal amount of such portion plus any accrued interest on the date of
redemption. Because of the Company’s election to utilize the PIK Interest option, the portion of the Senior
Toggle Notes that is required to be redeemed on April 15, 2012 will increase.
The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company and will
mature on April 15, 2015. Each Senior Subordinated Note bears interest at a rate per annum of 12.375% payable
semiannually to holders of record at the close of business on April 1 or October 1 immediately preceding the
interest payment date on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The Company’s Notes contain various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things:
• incur or guarantee additional debt;
• incur debt that is junior to senior indebtedness and senior to the senior subordinated notes;
• pay dividends or make distributions to our stockholders;
• repurchase or redeem capital stock or subordinated indebtedness;
• make loans, capital expenditures or investments or acquisitions;
• incur restrictions on the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or to make
other payments to the Company;
• enter into transactions with affiliates;
• create liens;
• merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;
• transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; and
• prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is junior in right of payment to the Notes.
The Fixed Rate Senior Notes and Senior Toggle Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis, and the
Senior Subordinated Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case, by each of the
Company’s existing and future U.S. subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the senior secured credit facility or that
guarantees certain other indebtedness in the future, subject to certain exceptions.
