2.       RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

         2.1      HOMEADVISOR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a) MS shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to
develop and operate HomeAdvisor and maintain uptime consistent with industry
standards, as set forth in EXHIBIT A hereto.

                  (b) MS shall place links on HomeAdvisor to Company Site as set
forth in EXHIBIT B hereto.

                  (c) MS will actively seek to drive increasing levels of
traffic to the Company Site via the Home Improvement area of the HomeAdvisor
Site. MS will employ reasonable commercial efforts to promote the Company
Site in such manner, consistent with its marketing strategy for HomeAdvisor.
Promotion options to be investigated by MS will include, but not be limited
to: (a) adding links on MSNBC, MSN.com, HotMail, and other MS properties
which take users to the Home Improvement area of the HomeAdvisor site; (b)
pursuing promotions on MSN.com and (c) including ImproveNet in potential
HomeAdvisor and MSN Home Ownership Newsletters.

                  (d) MS shall actively seek to leverage its local
advertising sales force to sign up contractors into the ImproveNet certified
network.

                                      1.

<PAGE>

                  (e) MS shall use reasonable commercial efforts to comply with
the testing and other technical specifications set forth in EXHIBIT A hereto.

                  (f) MS and Company will negotiate in good faith to have
HomeAdvisor's financing section on the Company Site offered up to
non-HomeAdvisor customers (e.g., Dow, Owens-Corning, etc.). This is
non-exclusive, in that Company will also be able to offer links to other
financing sites to Company's non-MS customers. Notwithstanding the preceding,
MS HomeAdvisor's finance section will be the only financing section on the
Company Site offered up to a HomeAdvisor user (which means both a user who is
currently coming to the Company Site from the HomeAdvisor Site and a user who
previously came to the Company Site from the HomeAdvisor Site, so long as the
Company is able to track such user via a "persistent" cookie or other
method), at no charge to HomeAdvisor. If the user later comes to the Company
Site via a non-MSN advertising banner or a non-co-branded HomeAdvisor/Company
banner or via another Company partner's site, he or she will receive the
generic Company financing experience.

                  (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement, any rights provided to MS under this Agreement with respect
to HomeAdvisor shall also be provided without additional cost to HomeAdvisor
Third Party Sites if MS and Company so elect. Revenue generated by the users
sent to the Company Site via these HomeAdvisor/Third Party Sites will accrue
to MS under the same terms and conditions of this Agreement unless otherwise
specified.

         2.2      COMPANY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a) Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to
develop and operate the Company Site and maintain uptime consistent with
industry standards, as set forth in EXHIBIT A hereto. MS shall first discuss
with Company any proposed updates to EXHIBIT A, and will not implement such
changes without Company's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.

                  (b) Company will develop a tracking mechanism to identify
HomeAdvisor referred users and be able to track their usage and Company
marketing/promotional efforts associated with these unique users. Such
tracking method shall be via a "persistent" cookie (or other similar method
agreeable to the parties) which shall be delivered to every HomeAdvisor user
on his or her first visit to the Company Site. There are situations in which
Company may engage in reduced rate advertising. In any such situation where a
reduction off Company's established rate card is given (i) to partners that
have taken an equity interest in Company (no such agreement currently being
in existence), or (ii) to persons for the beneficial interest of Company and
not MS (e.g., if the Company gives away advertising, or trades advertising in
exchange for advertising on another site), Company will accrue
button/banner/showcase/smart lead, etc., revenue to MS at a minimum of 75% of
Company's established rate card. In other situations not contemplated above,
including, for example, in case of a volume discount, no adjustment will be
made to the amounts ordinarily received by MS.

                  (c) Company will offer for sale, on terms mutually
agreeable to MS and Company, bCentral web site hosting, business service
packages, and desktop tools to its existing and future contractor network.
This includes those services currently available and new services as they
become available. Company will be paid based on existing and future
commercial sales incentive programs used by bCentral. An example of the
agreement terms and conditions is attached in EXHIBIT C, but these will
change from time to time, and Company and bCentral will work together to
reach mutually agreeable terms. This is a non-exclusive offering in that
Company may also sell up to two competing services to its contractor network.

                  (d) Company shall maintain a HomeAdvisor logo and
navigation structure on sessions generated via a direct link from the
HomeAdvisor site (reflecting top level HomeAdvisor navigation, currently
containing "home page," "getting started," "neighborhoods," "homes,"
"financing," "offer and closing," and "help," but likely to change, and as
changed by HomeAdvisor user; and such logo and navigation structure shall
contain hyperlinks to such HomeAdvisor page(s) as specified by MS. Such logo
and navigation shall be

                                    2.

<PAGE>

provided by MS, and the exact page placement thereof shall be mutually agreed
upon by the parties, but must be at a minimum, located on the top third of
each page on the Company Site.

                  (e) Company shall provide a monthly report to MS, within 21
days of calendar month end, setting forth the following information: (1) the
number of unique HomeAdvisor users that clicked through to any areas of the
Company Site (broken down to show how many users clicked through from a query
box on the Intermediate Page and how many clicked through from different
links throughout the HomeAdvisor site), (2) the number of page views by such
users with respect to each page of the Company Site (with such pages being
described in an understandable manner based on the content thereof and not by
URL or IP address), and (3) the number of qualified job leads passed by the
Company Site to its professionals (e.g., contractors, architects and
designers).

                  (f) Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to
comply with the testing and other technical specifications set forth in
EXHIBIT A hereto.

3.       MARKETING

         3.1 USE OF NAME OR MARKS. Each party hereby grants to the other the
right during the term of this Agreement to use, reproduce and publish, the
name and logos of the other party in the manner contemplated by this
Agreement. Company must use the HomeAdvisor names and logos in accordance
with the logo guidelines provided by MS from time to time (these guidelines
are currently located at http://homeadvisor.msn.com/ie/help/policies.asp.).
MS must use the ImproveNet names and logos in accordance with the logo
guidelines provided by ImproveNet from time to time. Company shall provide
Company logos in accordance with the logo specifications provided by MS. MS
and Company acknowledge that nothing contained herein shall give either party
any interest in any logo, trade name, trademark or service mark owned by the
other party. The mark owner may terminate the foregoing license if, in its
reasonable discretion, the licensee's use of the marks tarnishes, blurs or
dilutes the quality associated with the marks or the associated goodwill and
such problem is not cured within ten (10) days of notice of breach;
alternatively, instead of terminating the license in total, the owner may
specify that certain pages of the licensee's web site may not contain the
marks. The licensee shall not take any action inconsistent with the owner's
ownership of the marks, and any benefits accruing from use of such marks
shall automatically vest in the owner.

         3.2 PRESS RELEASES. Neither party shall issue any press release
relating to the relationship contemplated by this Agreement without giving
the other party three business days to review and approve such release, with
such approval to not be unreasonably withheld. If a party has not responded
in such three business day period, the other party may issue such press
release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company shall not issue any press
release prior to the Availability Date.

4.       PAYMENTS

         4.1 FEES. Company shall pay the greater of: (1) the Minimum Annual
Fee (as stated in 4.2); (2) the Unique User Referral Fee (as stated in 4.3);

the execution of this Agreement for warrants to purchase 583,333 shares of
the Company's common stock (at a per share exercise price of $13.50). The
form of warrant will be identical (except for exercise price) to the form of
warrant provided to MS in connection with its financing transaction occurring
on or about the date of this Agreement. The third payment of $1,500,00 will
be paid as follows: 50% on the first day of the third year, and 50% one
hundred and twenty days following the first day of the third year.

<PAGE>


annual fees. Once such fees cumulative exceed the annual minimum, Company
will start to make payment of such fees to MS 30 days following the end of
each month they are accrued. The total annual user fee due under this Section
4.3 will be capped at the greater of 1.5 times the Revenue Share in 4.4, or
$2,500,000 in year one, $3,000,000 in year two, and $3,750,000 in year three.

         4.4 REVENUE SHARE - COMPANY TO MS. Company shall track all gross

Company Site via the Intermediate Page. For the first contract year, Company

([...***...] of the total) of such gross revenues and in the event that such
portion exceeds the amount described in 4.2 (Minimum Fee) or 4.3 (Unique User
Referral Fee), Company shall pay the excess within 30 days of such
calculation date. For the second contract year, Company will perform such
calculations and make applicable payments within 15 days of the end of the
first six month period and the end of the year, respectively. For the third
contract year, Company will perform such calculations and make applicable
payments within 15 days of the end of every three month period. The gross
revenues exclude all taxes invoiced, collected or withheld, refunds, credits,
rebates and other allowances annually granted (not to exceed 3%) and include
all revenues actually received from (but not limited to):
         - Contractor Lead Fees (currently $10/lead accepted by contractors)

         - Product Showcase & Design Gallery Integration
         - Banners & Brand Buttons

         4.5 CONTRACTOR REFERRAL FEE: Company will pay MS 25% of all gross
revenues actually received by ImproveNet (excluding all taxes invoiced,
collected or withheld, refunds, credits, rebates and other allowances
actually granted, not to exceed 3%) from contractor signup fees for each
contractor MS enlists into the ImproveNet certified network through the MS
sales force. These fees are independent from the fees due under 4.1, and are
due 30 days following the end of the month they are accrued.

embed and host Company content on the HomeAdvisor Site, the parties shall
discuss a mutually beneficial arrangements which shall include, at a minimum,
payment by MS to Company of 25% of all gross revenues actually received by MS

with each unique user that visits pages on HomeAdvisor's site that contain
Company content. This includes all revenues from banner & button
advertisements on such HomeAdvisor pages, and are due 30 days following the

employees harmless from any and all claims, demands, costs, liabilities,
losses, expenses and damages (including without limitation attorneys' fees)

participate in the defense of any claim or action.

7.       NON-DISCLOSURE

If MS and Company have entered into a Microsoft Non-Disclosure Agreement, MS
and Company agree that the terms of such agreement shall be deemed
incorporated herein, and further, that all terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information as defined therein. If MS
and Company have not entered into such agreement, then MS and Company agree
that any and all information identified by the other as "Confidential" and/or
"Proprietary," or which, under all of the circumstances ought reasonably to
be treated as Confidential and/or Proprietary, will not be disclosed to any
third person without the express consent of the other party for a period of
three (3) years following termination of this Agreement and that neither
party will make use of Confidential Information except under the terms of
this Agreement. These confidentiality obligations shall not apply to any
information which: (i) is or subsequently becomes available to the general
public other than through a breach by the receiving party; (ii) is already
known to the receiving party before disclosure by the disclosing party; (iii)
is developed through the independent efforts of the receiving party; or (iv)
the receiving party rightfully receives from a third party without
restriction as to confidentiality or use. The restriction on disclosure shall
not apply to Confidential Information that a court or governmental agency
requires be disclosed, or which must be disclosed in compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.

8.       DISPUTE RESOLUTION

         8.1 INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The parties shall attempt in good
faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement
through negotiation between representatives who have authority to resolve the
matter. Either party may give the other party written notice of any dispute
not resolved in the normal course of business, it being understood that a
notice delivered by a party pursuant to Section 10.2 below shall constitute
the delivery of a written notice of dispute pursuant to this SECTION 8.1.
Within five (5) days after its receipt of the notice, the receiving party
shall submit to the other party a written response. The notice and response
shall each include (a) a statement of the party's position and a summary of
the arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the
company representative who will represent that party. Within ten (10) days
following delivery of the original dispute notice, the parties' respective
representatives shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and
thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary to attempt to resolve
the dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by either party to
the other will be honored.

                                    6.

<PAGE>

         8.2 ARBITRATION. If a dispute has not been resolved within thirty
(30) days of the disputing party's original notice under SECTION 8.1, or if
the parties fail to meet within the ten (10) days following such notice under
SECTION 8.1, then either party may initiate arbitration of the dispute. The
dispute shall then be submitted to mandatory and binding arbitration in San
Francisco in accordance with the commercial rules and procedures of the
American Arbitration Association before three arbitrators (one chosen by MS,
one chosen by the Company, and the third chosen by the mutual agreement of
the arbitrators chosen by MS and the Company). Judgment upon the award may be
entered by any court having appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall
not, however, in the case of a dispute between the parties not involving a
third party claim, be empowered to aware damages in excess of compensatory
damages.

         8.3 LITIGATION. The only circumstance in which a dispute between the
parties will not be subject to the provision of SECTIONS 8.1 and 8.2 above,
is when a party makes a good faith determination that a breach of the terms
of this Agreement by the other party is such that the damages to such party
resulting from the breach will be so immediate, so large o severe, and so
incapable of adequate redress after the fact that a temporary restraining
order or other immediate injunctive relief is the only adequate remedy.
Except for such relief, the parties shall resolve their disputes, whether or
not such relief is granted, in accordance with the provisions set forth in
SECTIONS 8.1 and 8.2.

         8.4 CONTINUED PERFORMANCE. Each party agrees to continue performing
its obligations under this Agreement when any dispute is being resolved under
ARTICLE 8, unless and until such obligations are terminated by the expiration
or termination of this Agreement or by order of a court of competent
authority under SECTION 8.2 or SECTION 8.3.

9.       TERMINATION

         9.1 TERM. The term of the Agreement shall commence on the Effective
Date and shall expire on the third anniversary of the Availability Date,
unless earlier terminated as provided herein.

         9.2 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In the event either party shall
materially fail to perform or comply with the terms of this Agreement, the
other party may terminate if such failure has not been remedied within 30
days of written notice thereof to the other party.

         9.3 SURVIVAL. Sections 5, 6, 7 and 10 shall survive any expiration
or termination of this Agreement.

10.      GENERAL

         10.1 MISCELLANEOUS. If either MS or Company employs attorneys to
enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees an
costs, including expert witness fees. Neither party may assign all or any
portion of this Agreement unless the other party consents in writing, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld provided that either party may
assign this Agreement without consent to any of its subsidiaries, affiliates,
joint ventures, partnerships, and limited liability companies in which it has
a majority interest, and to any company into which it merges if it is not the
surviving entity. No partnership, joint venture, employment, agency,
franchise, or other form of agreement or relationship is intended by this
Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
merges all prior and contemporaneous communications. This Agreement shall not
be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent hereto signed on
behalf of the parties by their duly authorized representatives. Neither party
will be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations
hereunder due to an act of God or other event to the extent that: 1) the
non-

                                    7.

<PAGE>

performing party is without fault in causing such default or delay; 2) such
default or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precaution; and
3) such default or delay cannot reasonably be circumvented by the
non-performing party through the use of alternate sources, work around plans
or other means. This Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties
arising from or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter, shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without
regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.

effect. As HomeAdvisor releases new versions of its site, the exact
placement, number and treatment of these links is subject to change (except
for the treatment on the Intermediate Page), but this exhibit is designed to
