         WHEREAS, Move.com is an entity which provides marketing and access

         WHEREAS, Cendant Mortgage and Move.com wish to develop a marketing and
access program ("Program") the purpose of which will be to market Cendant
Mortgage services on the Internet.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained
herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.       THE PROGRAM.

         (a)      Move.com shall provide access to Cendant Mortgage and market
                  Cendant Mortgage and its various mortgage programs and
                  products on the Internet at various web sites. The web sites
                  shall include promotional information about Cendant Mortgage
                  and educational materials to customers regarding the mortgage
                  process. Move.com shall be responsible for developing and
                  maintaining these sites which shall serve as a destination for
                  customers interested home listings, mortgage-related services,
                  and other real estate-related information online.

         (b)      The Parties contemporaneously have agreed upon additional
                  details concerning their respective obligations under the
                  Program, including but not limited to, as applicable, the
                  frequency, size, number and general content of the web sites
                  to be advertised. Move.com shall review and make suggestions
                  to Cendant Mortgage regarding Cendant Mortgage advertisements
                  and the most effective manner in which to promote its programs
                  and products on the Internet. Both parties shall cooperate
                  with each other, in good faith, to agree in selecting the
                  marketing materials that are ultimately placed on the web
                  site.

         (c)      As part of the Program, Move.com shall provide monthly reports
                  to Cendant Mortgage (Move.com Reports), in form and format
                  reasonably acceptable to the

                  Parties, that describe, among other things, the extent to
                  which Move.com has met its obligations under the Program.

         (d)      In addition, Cendant Mortgage shall provide to Move.com its
                  standard monthly reporting on registrations, cancellations,
                  closings and pipeline so that Move.com may monitor the
                  effectiveness and quality of the mortgage services provided by
                  Cendant Mortgage.

2.       COMPENSATION. For the Term (as defined below), Cendant Mortgage shall
         pay a fee to Move.com ("Marketing Fee") for the access and marketing
         provided under the Program. The amount of the Marketing Fee shall be
         Two Million One Hundred Eighty Five Thousand Dollars ($2,185,000). The
         Marketing Fee shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Effective
         Date (as defined below) of this Agreement. The Parties each acknowledge
         and agree that the Marketing Fee reflects the reasonable and fair
         market value of the goods and services to be provided by Move.com under
         the Program, without regard to the value or volume of mortgage loans
         that may be attributable to the Program.

3.       REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Each party will comply with all applicable
         regulatory requirements of the United States or any state with respect
         to its services to be provided under this Agreement. Each party shall
         maintain any and all government approvals, licenses or authorizations
         required by the laws of the United States or any state to engage in the
         activities described in this Agreement.

4.       RELATIONSHIP. The relationship between Cendant Mortgage and Move.com
         shall be that of independent contractors and neither party shall be or
         represent itself to be an agent, employee, partner or joint venturer of
         the other, nor shall either party have or represent itself to have any
         power or authority to act for, bind or commit the other. Cendant
         Mortgage shall have sole discretion and authority with respect to
         product development, origination, processing, underwriting and
         servicing of all mortgage financing.

5.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each party recognizes that, during the Term
         of this Agreement, its directors, officers or employees may obtain
         knowledge of trade secrets, membership lists and other confidential
         information of the other party which are valuable, special or unique to
         the continued business of that party. Accordingly, each party hereby
         agrees to hold such information in confidence and to use its best
         efforts to ensure that such information is held in confidence by its
         officers, directors and employees and to be utilized only in accordance
         with the terms of this Agreement.

6.       TRADEMARKS. Each party shall grant the other party a license to use
         certain of its trademarks (the "Marks") during the Term of this
         Agreement. Each party agrees that nothing herein shall give to the
         other party any right, title or interest in the other party's Marks,
         except to use the Marks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
         and that the Cendant Mortgage Marks and the Move.com Marks are the sole
         and exclusive property of Cendant Mortgage and Move.com, respectively.

         may have upon the Foreign, Federal, State or local tax liability of the
         other.

8.       SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement should be invalid,
         illegal or in conflict with any applicable state or federal law or
