represented shares of Cendant Corporation-CD Common Stock shall thereupon represent an equal number of shares of Common Stock despite

The total number of shares of Common Stock which the Corporation
shall have the authority to issue shall initially be 250,000,000. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to increase or decrease

the Corporation when, as and if declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation
legally available therefor. |
The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, from
time to time, a resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of Preferred Stock in one or more series, to fix the number of shares
in each such series (subject to the aggregate limitations thereon in this Article) and to fix the designations and the powers, preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of each such series.

as between the different series of Preferred Stock):

or exchange may be made, and any other terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange; |

limitations or restrictions of any such series may be made dependent upon facts ascertainable outside of the Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or of
any amendment thereto, or outside the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance
of such series adopted by |
the Board of Directors, provided that the manner in which
such facts shall operate upon the voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of
such series is clearly and expressly set forth in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such series adopted by the

from time to time as the Board of Directors shall determine and on such terms and for such consideration, not less than par value, as
shall be fixed by the Board of Directors. No consent by any series of Preferred Stock shall be required for the issuance of any other
series of Preferred Stock unless the Board of Directors in the resolution providing for the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock
expressly provides that such consent shall be required.
Subject to the rights, if any, of holders of shares of Preferred
Stock from time to time outstanding, dividends may be paid upon the Common Stock as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of
any funds legally available therefor.

provided in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of any series of the Preferred Stock, the holders of shares
of the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes. Each holder of shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled at any time to vote shall have one vote for each share thereof held. Except as otherwise provided

Common Stock held by them.

as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. |
| 3. | Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Old Common
Stock, as applicable, shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange,
