(1)   Member of audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
(2)   The board of directors has determined that Mr. Unruh meets the requirements of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. Mr. Unruh meets the requirements for being “independent” as defined by SEC rules and regulations.
     Our bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be fixed by resolution of the board of directors from time to time, provided, however, that the number of directors shall not be increased above eleven directors nor decreased below seven directors without stockholder approval. Currently, the board has fixed the number of directors at ten. Our board is currently divided into three classes as nearly equal in size as possible and generally with staggered three year terms. The term of office for Class I, Class II and Class III directors will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, or upon a director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. At our 2005 annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders approved our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which became effective when it was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 23, 2005. This Restated Certificate of Incorporation effected amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation as then in effect resulting in the elimination of the classification of our board of directors in 2008. In particular, pursuant to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the terms of the directors that were elected at our annual meeting of stockholders in 2005, as well as those directors that are to be elected at the annual stockholders meeting in each of 2006 and 2007, will expire in 2008, and beginning with our 2008 annual stockholders meeting, all directors will be elected at each annual meeting for a term of one year. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that, notwithstanding the above, each director shall hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.
     By virtue of its ownership of our sole outstanding share of Series A preferred stock, the National Association of REALTORS® has the right to elect one of our directors, and the National Association of REALTORS® has exercised that right to elect Mr. Yassky as a director.

Table of Contents

     Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation for our Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are currently entitled to elect two directors (the “Series B Directors”) to the Board. Thus by virtue of their ownership of the outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, Elevation Partners, L.P. and its affiliate Elevation Employee Side Fund, LLC (together “Elevation”) currently have the right to designate and to elect two of our directors, and Elevation exercised that right in 2005 to elect Messrs. Anderson and McNamee as directors. If, however, the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued on the original issuance date, November 29, 2005, that are outstanding on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the next annual meeting of stockholders falls below two-thirds but is at least one-third of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued on November 29, 2005 (100,000 shares were issued on that date), as adjusted for certain events, then the holders thereof will be entitled to elect only one Series B Director as a separate class. Subject to certain limitations, only holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to remove or fill vacancies for Series B Directors.
     In addition, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement between the Company and Elevation dated November 29, 2005 (the “Elevation Stockholders Agreement”), following the conversion of any of the 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock originally purchased by Elevation on November 29, 2005 into shares of common stock (and without duplication of the Board seats provided for in the provisions above) for so long as Elevation holds at least a number of converted shares equal to two-thirds of the purchased shares on an as converted basis, Elevation Partners, L.P. shall have the right to nominate two directors for election to the Board, and for so long as Elevation holds a number of converted shares equal to less than two-thirds but at least one-third of the purchased shares on an as converted basis, Elevation Partners, L.P. shall have the right to nominate one director for election to the Board. The Elevation Stockholders Agreement also provides that Elevation is required to vote their shares in the manner recommended by the Board of Directors with respect to the election or removal of directors, other than any of the Series B Directors.

Stock Option Grants in 2005
     The following table sets forth grants of stock options to the named executive officers in 2005.
     All options granted to the named executive officers in 2005 are either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. The options expire ten years from the date of grant and were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
     Potential realizable values are computed by (a) multiplying the number of shares of common stock subject to a given option by the exercise price per share, (b) assuming that the aggregate stock value derived from that calculation compounds at the annual 5% or 10% rates shown in the table for the entire ten-year term of the option, and (c) subtracting from that result the aggregate option exercise price. The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of stock price appreciation are provided in accordance with the rules of the SEC and do not represent our estimate or projection of future common stock prices.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Operating Agreement with the National Association of REALTORS®
     In November 1996, we entered into an operating agreement with the National Association of REALTORS® (the “NAR”), which governs how our subsidiary, RealSelect, Inc., operates the REALTOR.com® web site on behalf of the NAR. For a description of the operating agreement, please see Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
     Under our operating agreement as originally entered into with the NAR, we were required to make quarterly royalty payments of up to 15% of RealSelect’s operating revenue in the aggregate to the NAR and the entities that provide us the information for our real property listings (“data content providers”).
     In 2002, we and the NAR amended the NAR operating agreement. In accordance with the operating agreement, as amended, we paid $1,500,000 to the NAR in 2005 and will make the following fixed payments to the NAR:
    For 2006, we must pay $1,500,000 plus or minus, as the case may be, the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for 2005, in four equal installments due on the last day of each calendar quarter of 2006.
 
    For 2007 and beyond, we must pay the amount due during the prior calendar year plus or minus, as the case may be, the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for the prior calendar year, in four equal installments due on the last day of each calendar quarter for that calendar year.
Transactions with Elevation Partners
     On November 29, 2005, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of November 6, 2005 which we entered into with Elevation Partners, we sold an aggregate of 100,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock to Elevation Partners and Side Fund for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million. For a description of the Series B Preferred Stock, please see Note 15, “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
     Pursuant to the Elevation Stockholders Agreement, we agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Elevation Stockholders Agreement, Elevation may designate or nominate up to two of our directors. On December 8, 2005, as contemplated by the Elevation Stockholders Agreement, Mr. Anderson and Mr. McNamee were elected as directors to fill newly-created seats on our board. Each of Mr. Anderson and Mr. McNamee is a manager of each of Elevation LLC and Elevation Management. Elevation LLC is the sole general partner of Elevation GP, which is the sole general partner of Elevation Partners. Elevation Management is the sole managing member of Side Fund.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
     Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) served as the Company’s principal independent accountants to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005. The fees billed in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 for Ernst & Young’s services to us were:
                 
    Year ended     Year ended  
    December 31, 2004     December 31, 2005  
Audit Fees (1)
  $ 2,892,000     $ 1,956,000  
Audit-Related Fees (2)
           
Tax Fees (3)
    94,000       253,000  
All Other Fees (4)
           
 
           
Total Fees
  $ 2,986,000     $ 2,209,000  
 
           
 
(1)   “Audit fees” are fees billed by the independent auditors for professional services for the audit of the consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-Qs, or for services that are normally provided by the auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
 
(2)   “Audit-related fees” are fees billed by the independent auditors for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements, and are not reported under audit fees.
 
(3)   “Tax fees” are fees billed by the independent auditors for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
 
(4)   “All other fees” are fees billed by the independent auditors to the Company for any services not included in the first three categories, and include fees for accounting services provided to us and in connection with our response to inquires from the SEC.
     The audit committee’s policy is to approve in advance all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent accountant. In 2005, the audit committee approved in advance any services provided by the independent auditors and the related fees. Those services only involved accounting consultation and general corporate tax services. In addition, in December 2003, the audit committee authorized the committee’s audit committee financial expert to pre-approve on behalf of the audit committee permitted auditing and non-auditing services of $50,000 or less to be provided by Ernst & Young or any other accounting services firms, with the audit committee financial expert to report each pre-approval of services to the full committee at its next scheduled meeting after such pre-approval.
     None of the audit and non-audit services described above were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the waiver of pre-approval provisions set forth in applicable rules of the SEC.
