FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
      The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for statements that are forward-looking and are not statements of historical facts. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements. Any statements that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Forward-looking statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and are not historical facts and accordingly involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance to be materially different from future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report, in press releases and in oral statements made by our authorized officers: fuel price volatility; our failure to maintain or renew key agreements; failure to expand our technological capabilities and service offerings as rapidly as our competitors; the actions of regulatory bodies, including bank regulators, or possible changes in banking regulations impacting our industrial loan bank and us as the corporate parent; the uncertainties of litigation; the effects of general economics on fueling patterns and the commercial activity of fleets, as well as other risks and uncertainties identified in Item 1A of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2009. Our forward-looking statements and these factors do not reflect the potential future impact of any alliance, merger, acquisition or disposition. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the initial filing of this Quarterly Report and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

WRIGHT EXPRESS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)
1.    Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Wright Express Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2008. When used in these notes, the term “Company” means Wright Express Corporation and all entities included in the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarter(s) or the year ending December 31, 2009. We have evaluated all subsequent events through July 29, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.
2.    Acquisitions
     In February 2008, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Pacific Pride Services, Inc. The allocation of the purchase price relative to this acquisition was finalized in the first quarter of 2009. No adjustments to the allocation have been made since December 31, 2008. In August 2008, the Company acquired certain assets of Financial Automation Limited, a New Zealand based entity. The Company has allocated the purchase price of the acquisition based upon the fair values of the assets acquired. In connection with the fair valuing of the assets acquired, management performed assessments of intangible assets using customary valuation procedures and techniques. The purchase price and related allocations for this acquisition have not been finalized.
     No pro forma information has been included in these financial statements because the results of operations of Pacific Pride and Financial Automation Limited for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, are immaterial to the Company’s revenues, net income and earnings per share.
3.    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

5.  Derivative Instruments
     The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Interest rate swap arrangements are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. The Company also enters into put and call option contracts based on the wholesale price of gasoline and retail price of diesel fuel, which settle on a monthly basis. These put and call option contracts, or fuel price derivative instruments, are designed to reduce the volatility of the Company’s cash flows associated with its fuel price-related earnings exposure.
     The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. The Company designates interest rate swap arrangements as cash flow hedges of the forecasted interest payments on a portion of its variable-rate credit agreement. The Company’s fuel price derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, and therefore, no such hedging designation has been made.

      Cash Flow Hedges
     For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate swap arrangements that were entered into to hedge forecasted interest payments:
                 
    Weighted-     Aggregate  
    Average     Notional  
    Base Rate     Amount  
 
Interest rate swap arrangements settling July 2009
    5.20 %   $ 80,000  
Interest rate swap arrangements settling July 2009 — August 2009
    4.73 %     25,000  
 
 
               
Total
          $ 105,000  
 
 
               
 
     In July 2009 we acquired additional interest rate swap arrangements. See Note 10 for additional information.
      Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
     For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in current earnings. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had the following put and call option contracts which settle on a monthly basis:
                 
    Aggregate          
    Notional          
    Amount          
    (gallons)  (a)          
 
Fuel price derivative instruments — unleaded fuel
Option contracts settling July 2009 — December 2010
    33,330          
Fuel price derivative instruments — diesel
Option contracts settling July 2009 — December 2010
    14,974          
 
Total fuel price derivative instruments
    48,304          
 
 
               
 
(a)   The settlement of the put and call option contracts is based upon the New York Mercantile Exchange’s New York Harbor Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock for Oxygen Blending and the U.S. Department of Energy’s weekly retail on-highway diesel fuel price for the month.

6. Fair Value
     The Company holds mortgage-backed securities, fixed income and equity securities, derivatives and certain other financial instruments which are carried at fair value. The Company determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. In determining the fair value of the Company’s obligations, various factors are considered including: closing exchange or over-the-counter market price quotations; time value and volatility factors underlying options and derivatives; price activity for equivalent instruments; and the Company’s own-credit standing.
     These valuation techniques may be based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
    Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 
    Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
 
    Level 3 — Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

7. Tax Receivable Agreement
     As a consequence of the Company’s separation from its former parent company, the tax basis of the Company’s net tangible and intangible assets increased (the “Tax Basis Increase”). The Tax Basis Increase reduced the amount of tax that the Company would pay in the future to the extent the Company generated taxable income in sufficient amounts. The Company was contractually obligated, pursuant to its 2005 Tax Receivable Agreement with the Company’s former parent company, to remit 85 percent of any such cash savings.
     Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of July 27, 2006, by and among Cendant Corporation (now known as Avis Budget Group, Inc or “Avis”), Realogy Corporation (“Realogy”), Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (“Wyndham”) and Travelport Inc., Realogy acquired from Cendant the right to receive 62.5 percent of the payments by Wright Express to Cendant and Wyndham acquired from Cendant the right to receive 37.5 percent of the payments by Wright Express to Cendant under the 2005 Tax Receivable Agreement.
     On June 26, 2009, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Prepayment Agreement with Realogy, pursuant to which the Company paid Realogy $51,000, including bank fees and legal expenses, as prepayment in full to settle the remaining obligations to Realogy under the 2005 Tax Receivable Agreement. These obligations were previously valued at $187,485 and this transaction resulted in a gain of $136,485. In connection with the Tax Receivable Prepayment Agreement with Realogy, the Company entered into a Ratification Agreement on June 26, 2009, (the “Ratification Agreement”) with Avis, Realogy and Wyndham which amended the 2005 Tax Receivable Agreement to require the Company to pay 31.875 percent of the future tax savings related to the Tax Basis Increase to Wyndham.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
      Litigation
     The Company is involved in pending litigation in the usual course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9. Segment Information
     The Company operates in two reportable segments, fleet and MasterCard. The fleet segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of vehicle fleet customers. The MasterCard segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. The Company’s chief decision maker evaluates the operating results of the Company’s reportable segments based upon revenues and “adjusted net income,” which is defined by the Company as net income adjusted for fair value changes of fuel price derivatives, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, asset impairment charges related to its internally developed software, non-cash adjustments related to the tax receivable agreement and gains on the extinguishment of a portion of the tax receivable agreement. These adjustments are reflected net of the tax impact.

10. Subsequent Events
     Effective July 22, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap arrangement. This interest rate swap arrangement was designated as a cash flow hedge intended to reduce a portion of the variability of the future interest payments on our credit agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist you in understanding our financial statements, the changes in key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting estimates affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the two segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations as a whole. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2008, the notes accompanying those financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2009 and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in Item 1 of Part I of this report.
Overview

We facilitate and manage transactions for vehicle fleets through our proprietary closed network of major oil companies, fuel retailers and vehicle maintenance providers. We provide fleets with detailed transaction data, analytical tools and purchase control capabilities. Our operations are organized as follows:
    Fleet — The fleet segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of the vehicle fleet industry. This segment also provides information management and account services to these fleet customers.
 
    MasterCard — The MasterCard segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. The MasterCard products are used by businesses to facilitate purchases of products and utilize our information management capabilities.
Summary
     Below are key items from the second quarter of 2009:
    On June 26, 2009, we entered into a Tax Receivable Prepayment Agreement with Realogy Corporation (“Realogy”). Realogy had previously acquired the right to receive 62.5 percent of the payments made by us to Cendant Corporation (now Avis Budget Group, Inc. or “Avis”) under the 2005 Tax Receivable Agreement. We paid Realogy $51 million, including bank fees and legal expenses, as a prepayment in full to settle the remaining obligations to Realogy under the 2005 Tax Receivable Agreement. These obligations were recorded on our balance sheet at approximately $187 million and this transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $136 million. We are still required to pay the remainder of the obligation under our tax receivable agreement.
 
    Average number of vehicles serviced increased 5 percent from the second quarter of 2008 to approximately 4.7 million.
 
    Total fleet transactions (payment processing and transaction processing transactions) processed declined 9 percent from the second quarter of 2008 to 66.1 million. Payment processing transactions decreased 8 percent to 51.6 million, and transaction processing transactions decreased 14 percent to 14.5 million.
 
    Average expenditure per payment processing transaction for the second quarter of 2009 decreased 40 percent to $47.37 from $78.72 for the same period last year. This decrease was driven by lower average retail fuel prices. The average fuel price per gallon during the three months ended June 30, 2009, was $2.33, a 41 percent decrease over the same period last year.
 
    Realized gains on our fuel price derivatives were $4.5 million compared to realized losses of $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2008.
 
    Credit losses in the fleet segment were $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, versus $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

   Revenues
     Payment processing revenue decreased $35.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period last year. The primary components of this decrease were a $31.0 million decrease in revenue associated with a 41 percent decrease in the average price per gallon of fuel. During 2008, we had renegotiated agreements with several of our merchants to change our pricing with them to include a fixed fee component and a percentage fee component. The renegotiated pricing has reduced the impact of fuel price volatility on our payment processing revenues. We benefited from this change as lower fuel prices drove our net payment processing rate up due to the fixed component of the transaction fees.

     Payment processing revenue decreased $61.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period last year. The primary components of this decrease were a $54.2 million decrease in revenue associated with a 40 percent decrease in the average price per gallon of fuel.
     Transaction processing revenue decreased $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, and decreased $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. These decreases in revenue, as well as the decreases in transaction processing transactions, are due to prevailing economic conditions. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was partially offset by the acquisition of Pacific Pride during the first quarter of 2008.
     Account servicing revenue increased $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008, and increased $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. This increase is due both to our WEXSmart TM telematics program and expansion into international markets following our August 2008 acquisition of Financial Automation Limited.
     Our finance fees have decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, and decreased $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in finance fees is related to the decrease in the average price per gallon of fuel, as compared to the same period in the prior year, offset by a change in late fee policies implemented at the end of 2008, which increased the late fees charged to delinquent customers to encourage timely payments.

     Changes in operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago, include the following:
    We generally measure our credit loss performance by calculating credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions (“Fuel Expenditures”). This metric for credit losses was 7.9 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 22.9 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the same period last year. We use a roll rate methodology to calculate the amount necessary for our ending receivable reserve balance. This methodology takes into account total receivable balances, recent charge off experience and the dollars that are delinquent to calculate the total reserve. In addition, management undertakes a detailed evaluation of the receivable balances to help ensure further overall reserve adequacy. The expense we recognized in the quarter is the amount necessary to bring the reserve to its required level after charge offs. Changes in the accounts receivable balances in 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year have resulted in an increase to credit losses of approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Lower charge-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2009, decreased credit losses by $4.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. The remaining difference is due to increased collection activity and improved aging of the accounts receivable.
 
    Operating interest expense decreased $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Approximately $3.4 million of the decrease in operating interest expense is primarily due to our total average operating debt balance, which consists of our deposits and borrowed federal funds, decreasing to $393.9 million for the second quarter of this year as compared to $706.2 million for the second quarter of 2008. The remaining decrease is due to lower interest rates. For the second quarter of 2009, the average interest rate on our deposits and borrowed federal funds was 2.5 percent. For the second quarter of 2008, this average interest rate was 4.3 percent. The interest rates we pay on certificates of deposit have been declining for the past several quarters, and we expect to continue to benefit from low interest rates in 2009. These low rates will average into our overall rate as we issue new certificates of deposit.
 
    Salary and other personnel expenses were essentially flat for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period last year. Our average headcount for the second quarter was 21 full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) lower than the same period a year ago. This expense savings was predominantly offset by the additional expense related to our annual incentive program, which is based on financial performance.
 
    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. Approximately $0.1 million of the increase is amortization related to our acquisitions, and the remainder is additional depreciation as we place new assets into service.

     Changes in operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago, include the following:
    Credit losses were 11.9 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to 25.2 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the same period last year. Lower accounts receivable balances in 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year have resulted in a decrease to credit losses of approximately $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Lower charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2009, decreased credit losses by $3.3 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. The remaining difference is due increased collection activity and improved aging of the accounts receivable.
 
    Operating interest expense decreased $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Approximately $5.5 million of the decrease in operating interest expense is primarily due to our total average operating debt balance decreasing to $410.3 million for the second quarter of this year as compared to $648.9 million for the second quarter of 2008. The remaining decrease is due to lower interest rates. For the first half of 2009, the average interest rate on our deposits and borrowed federal funds was 3.2 percent. For the first half of 2008, this average interest rate was 4.6 percent.
 
    Salary and other personnel expenses increased $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to additional expense of approximately $2.0 million from our annual incentive program, which is based on financial performance, offset by lower salary expenses due to reduced headcount.
 
    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. Approximately $0.5 million of the increase is amortization related to our acquisitions, and the remainder is additional depreciation as we place new assets into service.

     We own fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments that we purchase on a periodic basis to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices on our cash flows. These fuel derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, gains and losses on our fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments affect our net income. Activity related to the changes in fair value and settlements of these instruments and the changes in average fuel prices in relation to the underlying strike price of the instruments is shown in the following table:

     Changes in fuel price derivatives for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago, include the following:
    Fuel prices increased over 23% during the second quarter of 2009. Accordingly, the fair value of the fuel price derivative instruments held at June 30, 2009, has declined as compared to March 31, 2009. The average fuel price moved closer to the floor of the collar by approximately $0.49 from the beginning of the quarter to the end of the quarter. In the same period for the prior year, the average fuel price moved from $0.99 above the ceiling of the collar at the beginning of the period to $1.59, above the ceiling at June 30, 2008, resulting in a significant change in the fair value of the instruments.
     Changes in fuel price derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago, include the following:
    Fuel prices increased over 31% during the first six months of 2009. Accordingly, the fair value of the fuel price derivative instruments held at June 30, 2009, has declined as compared to December 31, 2008. In the same period for the prior year, the average fuel price moved closer to the floor of the collar by approximately $0.62 from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. Fuel prices were fairly volatile during the first six months of 2008. The average fuel price moved from $0.53 above the ceiling of the collar at the beginning of the period to $1.62 above the ceiling at June 30, 2008, resulting in a significant change in the fair value of the instruments.
     We entered into additional derivative instruments during the second quarter of 2009. For the full year 2009, our weighted average floor is $2.85 and our weighted average ceiling is $2.91. Based on current fuel prices, we expect to receive cash gains from our hedging program in 2009.
     We expect that our fuel price derivatives program will continue to be important to our business model going forward, and we expect to purchase derivatives in the future. However, we have reduced some of our exposure to fuel price volatility because of the fixed fee component of our new pricing arrangements.

     Payment processing revenue and the related operating expenses increased due to higher MasterCard purchase volume, primarily driven by new business from our single use account product. The revenue increase during the six months ended June 30, 2009, was partially offset by a decrease in the net interchange rate as a result of a new contract we signed with one of our largest customers. The increase in other revenues is primarily due to fees on cross border purchase volume. This increase is largely offset by associated operating expenses.
     Credit loss was $0.2 million higher during the first half of 2009 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a bankruptcy that occurred during the first quarter of 2009.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows
     Our primary source of liquidity is management operating cash, which we define as cash from operations adjusted for changes in deposits and borrowed federal funds. Management operating cash is not a measure in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). During the first six months of 2009, we used approximately $169.7 million in management operating cash as compared to approximately $58.5 million of management operating cash generated in the first six months of 2008.
     In addition to the $169.7 million of management operating cash we used during the first six months of 2009, we borrowed an additional $21.2 million on our revolving credit facility. The significant decrease in management operating cash is due to the maturities of over $200 million of previously issued certificates of deposit, which are used to fund our accounts receivable. The rapid decline in fuel prices during the fourth quarter of 2008 led to decreasing accounts receivable balances. Our certificates of deposit were not maturing at the same pace as the drop in the accounts receivable balance.

      Management Operating Cash
     We focus on management operating cash as a key element in achieving maximum stockholder value, and it is the primary measure we use internally to monitor cash flow performance from our core operations. Since deposits and borrowed federal funds are used to finance our accounts receivable, we believe that they are a recurring and necessary use and source of cash. As such, management considers deposits and borrowed federal funds when evaluating our operating activities. We believe that management operating cash may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating our performance. However, management operating cash is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, net cash used for operating activities as presented on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in accordance with GAAP.
     The table below reconciles net cash used for operating activities to change in management operating cash:

     Our bank subsidiary, Wright Express Financial Services Corporation (“FSC”), utilizes certificates of deposit to finance our accounts receivable. FSC issued certificates of deposit in various maturities ranging between three months and three years and with fixed interest rates ranging from 0.50 percent to 5.35 percent as of June 30, 2009. Our weighted average interest rates on operating debt will be lower as a significant amount of our higher rate certificates of deposit matured during the first half of 2009. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $397 million of certificates of deposit outstanding. Certificates of deposit are subject to regulatory capital requirements.
     FSC also utilizes federal funds lines of credit to supplement the financing of our accounts receivable. There was approximately $48 million outstanding on our federal funds lines of credit as of June 30, 2009.
      Short-term Liquidity
     We continue to have access to short-term borrowings to fund our accounts receivable. Our cash balance dropped approximately $159 million from December 31, 2008, to June 30, 2009, mainly due to over $200 million of certificates of deposit maturing during the first quarter. As a result of the drop in average outstanding operating debt, our operating interest expense declined in the second quarter of 2009. We issue our certificates of deposit in anticipation of accounts receivable; accordingly, our certificate of deposit issuances in 2009 has increased during the second quarter as we experienced an increase in the price of gasoline and diesel fuel during the second quarter of this year.
     Our credit agreement contains various financial covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios. In addition to the financial covenants, the credit agreement contains various customary restrictive covenants. FSC is not subject to certain of these restrictions. We have been, and expect to continue to be, in compliance with all material covenants and restrictions.
     Management believes that we can adequately fund our cash needs during the next 12 months.
      Long-term Liquidity
     We have approximately three years left on our revolving credit facility. We are currently paying a rate of LIBOR plus 58 basis points. We had approximately $258 million available to us under this agreement as of June 30, 2009. We added $21.2 million in financing debt during the 6 months ended June 30, 2009, as we borrowed approximately $51 million, including bank fees and legal expenses of approximately $2.0 million, to purchase a portion of our tax receivable agreement from Realogy. There was a balance of $191.8 million on our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2009.

     Effective July 22, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap arrangement for $50 million. This interest rate swap arrangement was designated as a cash flow hedge intended to reduce a portion of the variability of the future interest payments on our credit agreement. Two of our previous interest rate swap agreements totaling $80 million expired on July 22, 2009. We also currently have an interest rate swap agreement of $25 million that expires on August 24, 2009.
      During the remainder of 2009, we expect to continue paying down debt and repurchasing shares. We will maintain our policy of considering alliances, mergers or acquisitions that can accelerate our overall growth and/or enhance our strategic position.

Each Guarantor agrees that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by the following, all of which are waived: (a) except as provided in Section 2 of this Guarantee, the failure of the Company to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Realogy or any other entity or person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement; (b) any amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Agreement or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Agreement, that does not affect the Realogy Obligations or the Guarantors’ liability with respect thereto; (c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Realogy or any other entity or person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement; (d) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding (a “ Bankruptcy ”) affecting Realogy or any other entity or person interested in the transactions contemplated in the Agreement; (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which such Guarantor may have at any time against Realogy, whether in connection with the Realogy Obligations or otherwise;

-3-


 

(f) the adequacy of any other means the Company may have of obtaining payment or performance of the Realogy Obligations; (g) any Realogy Obligations being illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any non-contractual reason (other than fraud or willful misconduct by the Company or any of its subsidiaries), including, without limitation, by reason of any stay or claim arising or resulting from or asserted in a Bankruptcy of Realogy, or any avoidance of such Realogy Obligations in such a Bankruptcy, or any Realogy Obligations being limited, modified, voided, released or discharged as a result of any Bankruptcy; or (h) the failure to file any proof of claim relating to the Realogy Obligations in the event that Realogy becomes subject to a Bankruptcy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Company. Except to the extent such waiver would be inconsistent with Section 2 of this Guarantee, each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the Realogy Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of any obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Realogy or any other entity or other person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than (x) fraud or willful misconduct by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (y) defenses to the payment or performance of the Realogy Obligations that are available to Realogy under the Agreement (but not defenses that are of the kind described in clause 4(g) above), none of which is waived). Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. For the avoidance of doubt, each Guarantor expressly reserves the right to assert defenses which Realogy may have to payment or performance of any Realogy Obligations other than defenses arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency of Realogy and those expressly waived in this Guarantee (including, without limitation, in clause 4(g) above).
     5.  NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS . No failure on the part of the Company to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Company of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Company or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Company at any time or from time to time.
     6.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES . Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants:
          (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of such Guarantor’s partnership agreement, operating agreement or similar organizational documents or any law, regulation, rule, decree, order, judgment or contractual restriction binding on such Guarantor or its assets;

     7.  GUARANTOR FINANCIAL CAPACITY .
          (a) Each Guarantor (i) represents that, taken together, the Guarantors have the financial capacity to pay and perform their obligations under this Guarantee and that all funds necessary for the Guarantors collectively to fulfill their obligations under this Guarantee shall be available to the Guarantors collectively for so long as this Guarantee shall remain in effect, and (ii) agrees that (A) collectively, the Guarantors have and will maintain, directly or indirectly, unencumbered cash, other liquid assets or prompt (which in no event shall be more than ten business days) access to liquidity in an aggregate amount not less than the amount of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder (subject to the applicable cap in Section 3), unless the Guarantors, not fewer than fifteen business days prior to the first date on which the Guarantors fail to maintain, directly or indirectly, such amount of unencumbered cash, other liquid assets or prompt (which in no event shall be more than ten business days) access to liquidity, post a letter of credit (or make alternative financial arrangements) in form reasonably acceptable to the Company securing the payment of such obligations, and (B) if at any time the preceding clause (A) is not satisfied, if a claim is made under the Guarantee, the Guarantors will promptly call capital from their investors in accordance with the terms of their applicable partnership agreements to the extent that, between them, the Guarantors do not have sufficient unencumbered cash, other liquid assets or prompt (which in no event shall be more than ten business days) access to liquidity (or have posted a letter of credit or made other financial arrangements referred to in the preceding clause (A)) to cover the amount claimed (subject to the applicable cap in Section 3), and will exercise available remedies available under the applicable partnership agreements as necessary to obtain such capital.
          (b) While the Guarantee remains in effect, if a Guarantor terminates before October 25, 2015, such Guarantor shall first post a letter of credit in form acceptable to the Company securing, or otherwise make reasonable provision for, in form acceptable to the Company, payment of its obligations (subject to the applicable cap in Section 3) unless the remaining Guarantors are in compliance with Section 7(a) above.
     8. SPECIAL PROVISION FOR DEFENSE . Each Guarantor agrees that if under Section 7.3 of the Agreement Realogy is obligated to assume, or pay or

-5-


 

reimburse the cost of, the defense of a claim and fails to do so, and such claim is one which if determined adversely to Realogy or the Company, as applicable, would give rise to a claim against the Guarantor hereunder, (subject to the applicable cap in Section 3) such Guarantor will pay or cause to be paid the payment obligations of Realogy in respect of such defense.
     9.  JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY . The Guarantors’ obligations to the Company under this Guarantee are joint and several; provided , however , that the Company shall give all of the Guarantors at least ten (10) days notice of the amount claimed under this Guarantee before seeking to enforce its rights under this Guarantee against fewer than all of the Guarantors (it being understood that no such notice shall be required if the giving of such notice is barred or stayed by law).
     10.  ASSIGNMENT AND DELEGATION . Neither the Guarantors nor the Company may assign any of their rights hereunder to any other person.
     11.  NOTICES .

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
RECITALS
     WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each of the other parties thereto are parties to the Credit Agreement; and
     WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement to allow the Borrower to make certain payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement; and
     WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement to allow certain payments relating to the Tax Receivable Agreement, and the Lenders are willing to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein;
     NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     (b)  Section 2.09(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following clause (iii) after clause (ii) thereof:
     “(iii) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender executing the Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2009, a fee equal to 0.25% of such Lender’s Commitment on such date. A portion of such fee equal to 0.05% of each Lender’s Commitment shall be due and

 


 

payable on the effective date of such amendment, and the balance of such fee shall be payable on the first date on which the Borrower makes a Permitted Tax Receivable Agreement Prepayment. Such fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.”
     (c)  Section 7.14 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended (i) by inserting the following text immediately after the word “Lenders” in clause (i) thereof:
“(and for the avoidance of doubt, agreements effecting Permitted Tax Receivable Agreement Prepayments that have been approved by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, are not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders)”
and (ii) by inserting the following text immediately after the word “Agreement” at the end of clause (ii) thereof:
     “, other than Permitted Tax Receivable Agreement Prepayments”
Section 2. Representations and Warranties . The Borrower represents and warrants as follows:
     (a) Before and after giving effect to this Amendment, all representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date).
     (b) After giving effect to this Amendment, the Loan Parties are in compliance with all of the terms and provisions set forth in the Loan Documents on their part to be observed or performed thereunder.
     (c) Both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
     (d) Both before and after Borrower makes any Permitted Tax Receivable Agreement Prepayment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Section 3. Conditions . The effectiveness of this Amendment is conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:

     (b)  Corporate Matters . Appropriate corporate resolutions, if necessary, and such other certificates, instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of implementing or effectuating the provisions of the Credit Agreement, as hereby amended, or this Amendment.
     (c)  Fee . The Borrower shall have paid to the Lenders entitled to the same the fee due on the effective date hereof under Section 2.09(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby and to Bank of America the fees payable on the date hereof pursuant to the separate agreement between the Borrower and Bank of America.

-2-


 

     (d)  Other Documents . The Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
     Section 4. General .
     (a) Except to the extent specifically amended, consented or waived hereby, the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents and all related documents shall remain in full force and effect. Whenever the terms or sections amended hereby shall be referred to in the Credit Agreement, Loan Documents or such other documents (whether directly or by incorporation into other defined terms), such terms or sections shall be deemed to refer to those terms or sections as amended by this Amendment.
     (b) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all counterparts shall together constitute one instrument.
     (c) This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
     (d) The Credit Parties agree to pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby.
