On May 10, 2012, Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to Employment Agreement with Thomas G. Conforti, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The amendment is effective May 11, 2012 and extends the term of Mr. Conforti’s employment from the current termination date of September 8, 2012 to September 8, 2015. The amendment also includes a provision for purposes of compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.

Declassification Amendments

At the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 10, 2012 (“2012 Annual Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). Pursuant to the amendments, commencing with the 2013 annual meeting, Directors will be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting. Those Directors previously elected to three-year terms will complete their three-year terms. Beginning at the 2015 annual meeting, the declassification of the Board of Directors (“Board”) will be complete, at which time all Directors will be subject to annual election. The amendments also provide, consistent with Delaware law, that Directors may be removed without cause, except that Directors serving the remainder of a three-year term may be removed only for cause, in each case in accordance with the specified vote requirement. Newly-created Board seats will continue to be allocated to the classes until the 2015 annual meeting, and Directors appointed to fill newly-created Board seats or vacancies will hold office for a term that coincides with the remaining term of the relevant class. The amendments became effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on May 10, 2012 (the “Certificate of Amendment”).

In connection with the foregoing, the Board also approved corresponding amendments to the Company’s By-Laws. Article III, Section 1 was amended to provide for the annual election of Directors to terms expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders beginning with the 2013 annual meeting. Article III, Section 2 was amended to provide that newly-created Board seats will continue to be allocated to the classes until the 2015 annual meeting, and Directors appointed to fill newly-created Board seats or vacancies will hold office for a term that coincides with the remaining term of the relevant class. Article III, Section 6 was amended to provide that Directors may be removed without cause, except that Directors serving the remainder of a three-year term may be removed only for cause, in each case in accordance with the specified vote requirement. The Amended and Restated By-Laws became effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on May 10, 2012.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, filed as Appendix A to the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Commission on March 30, 2012, and the Amended and Restated By-Laws, filed herewith as Exhibit 3.3.

Restated Certificate of Incorporation

On May 10, 2012, the Company filed a Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) with the Delaware Secretary of State that restated and integrated, but did not further amend, the Certificate of Incorporation (as amended through the filing of the Certificate of Amendment). The foregoing description of the Restated Certificate is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Restated Certificate, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.2.
