If NAR acquires Shares after the date hereof, it shall (i) tender or cause to be tendered such Shares before the initial Expiration Date of the Offer or, if later, prior to the Expiration Date, and (ii) unless the Company shall have issued an Adverse Recommendation Change (in which case, this clause (ii) shall no longer apply), not withdraw such Shares, or cause such Shares to be withdrawn, from the Offer at any time.

Section 4.Transfer of the Shares; Other Actions. Prior to the termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein (including pursuant to Section 3 hereof), NAR shall not: (a) transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose (whether by sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, dividend, distribution or otherwise) of, or consent to any of the foregoing (“Transfer”), any (i) Shares or (ii) Series A Preferred Shares, or, in each case, any right or interest therein, other than, in the case of the Series A Preferred Shares, a transfer to the Company in connection with the redemption by the Company of such shares; (b) enter into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Transfer of Shares or Series A Preferred Shares; (c) grant any proxy or power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent with respect to any of the Shares or Series A Preferred Shares; (d) deposit any of the Shares or Series A Preferred Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Shares or Series A Preferred Shares; or (e) directly or indirectly take any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of its obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby. Any attempt by NAR to Transfer the Shares or Series A Preferred Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void. Upon receipt of payment in full for all of its Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, NAR agrees that any and all rights incident to its ownership of Shares (including any rights to recover amounts, if any, that may be determined to be due to any stockholder or former stockholders of the Company), including but not limited to rights arising out of NAR’s ownership of Shares prior to the transfer of such Shares to Merger Sub or Acquiror pursuant to the Offer or the Merger Agreement, shall be transferred to Merger Sub and Acquiror upon the transfer to Merger Sub or Acquiror of such Stockholder’s Shares.
Section 5.Covenant to Vote. Unless the Company has made an Adverse Recommendation Change, prior to termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, NAR hereby agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all Shares (and, if applicable, all Series A Preferred Shares) beneficially owned by it (the “Vote Shares”), or to provide (or cause to be provided) a written consent in respect of the Vote Shares, in connection with any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders of the Company (a) in favor of the Merger (including adoption of the Merger Agreement) and/or (b) against any action or agreement which would in any manner impede, delay, frustrate or interfere with, or prevent or nullify, the Merger, including, but not limited to, any other extraordinary corporate transaction, including, a merger, acquisition, sale, consolidation, reorganization or liquidation involving the Company and a third party, or any other Takeover Proposal proposed by a third party or any amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other proposal or transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal would in any manner impede, delay, frustrate or interfere with, or prevent or nullify the Merger, the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of capital stock of the Company. In the event that a meeting of the stockholders of the Company is held in respect of the Merger, NAR shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, appear at such meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause the applicable Vote Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum.
5
Section 6.Non-Solicitation. NAR shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, cease immediately any discussions with any third party regarding any Takeover Proposal. NAR shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly solicit or initiate any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to, or the making or completion of, any Takeover Proposal, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to any Takeover Proposal. For the sake of clarity and the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that NAR and its Representatives may respond to unsolicited inquiries and proposals concerning its position (i.e., willingness to consent to any “change in control” contemplated by the proposal) on, and its rights and obligations with respect to, a Takeover Proposal.
Section 7.Directors and Officers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall be construed as preventing NAR, or a director, officer or employee of NAR or an Affiliate of NAR, who is an officer or director of the Company from fulfilling the obligations of such office (including the performance of obligations required by the fiduciary obligations of such officer or director, acting solely in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company).
Section 8.Further Assurances. NAR shall, upon the reasonable request of Acquiror or Merger Sub, execute and deliver additional documents and take such further actions at Acquiror’s expense as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
Section 9.Termination. Subject to the sentence of this paragraph, this Agreement, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate on the earliest of: (a) the date on which the Company announces a termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h), (b) the date on which both the Company and the Acquiror publicly announce (including, without limitation, in filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission) that the Merger Agreement has been terminated and (c) the Effective Time. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from liability for any breach hereof prior to such termination. This Section 9, Section 11 and Section 14 hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenter’s Rights and other Actions. NAR (i) waives and agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal, rights to dissent or similar rights with respect to the Merger or other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that it may have with respect to its Shares or Series A Preferred Shares pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 262 of the DGCL and (ii) agrees not to commence or join in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, the Company’s directors or any of their respective successors, in each case relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Offer or the Merger, including any claim (w) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, (x) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the board of directors of the Company in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, (y) making any claim with respect to SEC disclosure (or other disclosure to the Company’s stockholders) in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or (z) making any claim against Acquiror, Merger Sub or their respective representatives in connection with the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 12.Stop Transfer Order. In furtherance of this Agreement, concurrently herewith, NAR shall, and hereby does authorize the Company or its counsel to, notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of NAR’s Shares and Series A Preferred Shares (and that this Agreement places certain limits on the voting and transfer of such Shares and Series A Preferred Shares).
Section 13.Disclosure. Subject to reasonable prior notice, NAR shall permit and hereby authorizes Acquiror and Merger Sub to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Acquiror or Merger Sub determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with the Merger and any transactions related to the Merger, NAR’s identity and ownership of Shares and Series A Preferred Shares and the nature of its commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. NAR shall not issue any press release or make any other public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of Acquiror (which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or the rules and regulations of any United States securities exchange. It is understood that NAR plans to issue, after the public announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement, one or more communications solely to its members regarding the transactions under the Merger Agreement and the arrangements agreed with the Acquiror with respect to the operation of the realtor.com web site; and the Acquiror shall cooperate with NAR (including by promptly reviewing any proposed communication and providing any comments for consideration by NAR) to facilitate the prompt release of those communications.
