CENDANT CORPORATION COMPLETES
NEW $3.5 BILLION REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

New Five-Year Facility Replaces Existing Facility Scheduled to Mature in 2005


NEW YORK, November 22, 2004 - Cendant Corporation announced today that it has entered into a new five-year, $3.5 billion revolving credit facility. The new credit facility replaces Cendant’s existing $2.9 billion revolving credit facility, which had been scheduled to mature in December 2005.

“This renewal of Cendant’s principal credit facility enhances Cendant’s liquidity by providing committed financing for the next five years at a significantly lower cost than our prior facility,” said Cendant’s President and Chief Financial Officer, Ronald L. Nelson.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC served as joint-lead arrangers of the financing.
