PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND PERFORMANCE PERIOD
3.1 Performance Period. Subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement, after completion of the Performance Period as set forth on the Grant Notice, the number of PRSUs earned under this Agreement (the "Earned PRSUs") will be based on the achievement of the Company's performance against certain criteria (the "Performance Criteria") as set forth on Schedule 1. The PRSU Award that could have been earned in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 1 that is not earned as of the end of the Performance Period shall be immediately forfeited at the end of the Performance Period.

A-1

3.3 Settlement of PRSUs. Except as set forth in 5.1 below, within a reasonable period of time following vesting of the Earned PRSU (and in no event more than 60 days following such vesting), the Company shall pay and transfer to the Participant a number of shares of Common Stock of Realogy Holdings Corp. (the "Shares") equal to the aggregate number of Earned PRSUs that have vested, subject to the Participant's full compliance at all times with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement. Fractional Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver such Shares (i) by issuing the Participant a certificate of Common Stock representing the appropriate number of Shares, (ii) through electronic delivery to a brokerage or similar securities-holding account in the name of the Participant, or (iii) through such other commercially reasonable means available for the delivery of securities.
3.4 No Rights as a Stockholder. Unless and until a certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall have been issued by the Company to the Participant in connection with the payment of Shares related to the vested PRSUs, the Participant shall not be, or have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to, the PRSU Award or the Shares.
3.5 Dividend Equivalents Rights. The PRSU Award will carry dividend equivalent rights related to any cash dividend paid by the Company while the PRSU Award is outstanding. In the event the Company pays a cash dividend on its outstanding Shares following the grant of the PRSU Award, the number of PRSUs will be increased by the number of units determined by dividing (i) the amount of the cash dividend on the number of Shares covered by the PRSUs at the time of the related dividend record date, by (ii) the closing price of a Share on the related dividend payment date. Any additional PRSUs credited as dividend equivalents will be subject to the same vesting requirements, settlement provisions, and other terms and conditions as the original PRSUs to which they relate.
3.6 Deferral. The Participant may be permitted to elect to defer receipt of his or her Shares related to the PRSU Award, to the extent permitted by and in accordance with a separate deferral program.

4.1 Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Article IV or Section 5.1 below, if the Participant terminates employment with or ceases to provide services to the Company or any Affiliate, then the PRSUs (including any Earned PRSUs), to the extent not vested, shall be forfeited to the Company without payment of any consideration by the Company.
4.2 Retirement. In the case where the Participant terminates employment with or ceases to provide services to the Company or any Affiliate on account of Retirement on or following the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Earned PRSUs, to the extent not vested, shall become fully vested upon such Retirement and the Company shall pay and transfer to the Participant the Shares in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Notice as if the Participant had remained employed with the Company, provided that the Participant fully complies at all times with the Restrictive Covenants Agreement.
4.3 Death or Disability. If the Participant terminates employment with or ceases to provide services to the Company or any Affiliate on account of death or Disability, the PRSUs, to the extent not earned or vested, shall be deemed to have achieved the Performance Criteria and shall become fully vested upon such termination of employment or services and shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.3 above.

(c) With respect to each outstanding PRSU that is not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, except as would result in the imposition of additional taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, (i) the restrictions, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to such PRSU granted shall lapse (but, the Participant's obligations under the Restrictive Covenants Agreement and this Agreement shall not lapse), and (ii) such PRSU shall become fully vested and payable within ten (10) days following the Change in Control.
5.2 Assumption/Substitution.

6.14 Section 409A. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement and the Award be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement and the Award shall be interpreted and administered to be in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Participant shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Agreement and the Award which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a "separation from service" from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement and the Award shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and any payments described in this Agreement and the Award that are due within the "short term deferral period" as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid
A-4

accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement and the Award during the six-month period immediately following the Participant's separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Participant's separation from service (or, if earlier, the Participant's death). The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement and the Award will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.
