TO
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT, dated March 1, 2011 (Amendment), made to the Employment Agreement dated as of
March 31, 2008, as first amended effective as of December 31, 2008 and further amended effective as
of December 16, 2009 (together, the Employment Agreement), by and between Wyndham Worldwide
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), and Geoff Ballotti (the Executive). Except
as provided herein all terms and conditions set forth in the Employment Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have previously entered into the Employment Agreement;
and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement as set forth
below.
NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of the date first written above, the Employment Agreement is
hereby amended as follows:
1. The first sentence of Section II of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended in its
entirety and replaced with the following:
The period of the Executives employment under this Agreement (the
Period of Employment) shall begin on the Effective Date and shall
end on March 31, 2014, subject to earlier termination as provided in
this Agreement.
2. The second sentence of Section VI(d) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended in its
entirety and replaced with the following:
All payments due to the Executive under the first sentence of Section
VI(a) shall be made to the Executive in a lump sum no later than the
60th day following the date of termination;
provided, however, that (i) the payments and benefits
provided under Section VI(a) shall be subject to, and contingent upon,
the execution by the Executive (or his beneficiary or estate) of a
release of claims against the Company and its affiliates in such
reasonable form determined by the Company in its sole discretion and
(ii) in the event that the period during which the Executive is
entitled to consider the general release (and to revoke the release,
if applicable) spans two calendar years, then any payment that
otherwise would have been payable during the first calendar year will
in no case be made until the later of (A) the end of the revocation
period (assuming that the Executive does not revoke), or (B) the first
business day of the second calendar year (regardless of whether the
Executive used the full time period allowed for consideration), all as
required for purposes of Code Section 409A.
3. The Employment Agreement is hereby amended to replace all references to Group RCI with
Wyndham Exchange & Rentals.
4. From and after the date hereof, all references to the Employment Agreement shall mean the
Employment Agreement as amended hereby. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Employment
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and is hereby ratified and confirmed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Amendment to be executed this
28th day of February 2011.
