In exchange for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, WFR and Vendor agree as follows:

The License granted under this Agreement is to facilitate the display of Licensed Listings on Display Websites of Broker Subscribers and their Agent Subscribers. No License will be granted to Vendor with respect to a particular Display Website except upon execution of a Display Website Agreement by the applicable Broker Subscriber or Agent Subscriber, and execution of a Broker Agreement by the applicable Broker Subscriber, for the respective Display Website. Vendor agrees and acknowledges that WFR may modify the terms of this Agreement at any time, in its sole discretion. WFR agrees to deliver to Vendor, each Broker Subscriber, and each Agent Subscriber notice of any modification to this Agreement. In the event any material modification to this Agreement is unacceptable to Vendor, a Broker Subscriber, or an Agent Subscriber, Vendor may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 24.b of this Agreement, or Broker Subscriber or Agent Subscriber may cause WFR to terminate this Agreement for particular Display Websites in accordance with Section 24.d of this Agreement. In the event an Agent Subscriber is no longer an agent of the Broker Subscriber which accepted the terms of a Broker Agreement for that Agent Subscriber, then WFR may suspend this Agreement with respect to the applicable Agent Subscriber's Display Website(s) in accordance with Section 23 of this Agreement.

All amounts owing for such services shall be due within ten (10) days of receipt of invoice. Interest on all unpaid amounts owing to WFR under this Agreement shall accrue at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum until paid. Vendor agrees to pay all costs of collection of all unpaid amounts owing to WFR under this Agreement, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In addition, Vendor agrees to pay all legal expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by WFR in negotiating or making any changes to this Agreement, or any documents or agreements in connection with this Agreement.

- Display Servers. All Display Servers shall be owned by and under the direct control and supervision of Vendor. In the event any person or entity, except Vendor, has any control over, responsibility for, or access to the Display Server (a "SubVendor"), Vendor shall enter into a written agreement with the SubVendor obligating the SubVendor to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement. WFR shall be an express third party beneficiary of any such agreement.
- Compliance with Standards.
- Vendor agrees to be bound by and comply with all of the terms and conditions of the most current version of the Access Standards, Technology Standards, and the Display Standards, including maintaining the Display Websites, Display Servers, and the Display Pages in accordance with the Technology Standards and the Display Standards. With respect to the Display Standards, Vendor shall ensure that any display of IDX Listings, and each Display Website and page on each Display Website, and each IDX Subscriber, is in compliance, with the terms of the Display Standards. Vendor shall not cause the display of any IDX Listings, or any Display Website or page on such Display Website, to be inconsistent with the terms of the Display Standards, and Vendor shall not facilitate any noncompliance by IDX Subscribers with the terms of the Display Standards.
- The Access Standards, Technology Standards, and Display Standards may include terms and limitations in addition to or inconsistent with those set forth in this Agreement. In the event of any such inconsistency, the terms of the Access Standards, Technology Standards, and Display Standards will govern. Vendor acknowledges that WFR may modify the Access Standards, Technology Standards, and Display Standards at any time, in its sole discretion. WFR agrees to deliver to Vendor, Broker Subscriber, and Agent Subscriber notice of any modification to the Access Standards, Technology Standards, and Display Standards. In the event any material modification to the Access Standards, Technology Standards, and Display Standards is unacceptable to Vendor, a Broker Subscriber, or an Agent Subscriber, Vendor may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 24.b of this Agreement, or Broker Subscriber or Agent Subscriber may cause WFR to terminate this Agreement, or the display of Licensed Listings on a particular Display Website, in accordance with Section 24.d of this Agreement.
- Vendor shall immediately notify WFR of any failure to comply with the Access Standards, Technology Standards, or Display Standards, of which it becomes aware, including by any IDX Subscriber, and including any actual or attempted material unauthorized access to or download or use of the Licensed Listings. Upon the occurrence of any such event or action, Vendor shall take all steps necessary, and cooperate with WFR in every way requested by WFR, to remedy and prevent the continuation or recurrence of such actions or event, including with respect to any litigation or other proceeding, as deemed necessary by WFR.
- Means of Access to Licensed Listings.

WFR shall not be obligated to make any changes to WFR's Server, including any software running on WFR's Server, the configuration, applicable protocols, or any other aspect of WFR's Server for any reason, including changes which Vendor believes may be necessary to facilitate access to the Licensed Listings. Notwithstanding the forgoing, WFR may, at any time, modify or replace WFR's Server, in its sole discretion, and Vendor understands that a modification of WFR's Server may require changes to any applicable websites, including the Display Websites, hardware, software, or configurations to provide for access to the Licensed Listings. WFR makes no representations or warranties with respect to the response time for access to the Licensed Listings. Vendor acknowledges that WFR's Server, together with access to the Licensed Listings may from time-to-time be unavailable to Vendor, whether because of technical failures or interruptions, intentional downtime for service or changes to WFR's Server, or otherwise. Vendor agrees that any modification of WFR's Server, and any interruption or unavailability of access to WFR's Server, or access to or use of the Licensed Listings shall not constitute a default under this Agreement, and that WFR shall have no liability of any nature to Vendor for any such modifications, interruptions, unavailability, or failure of access.
- Intellectual Property. Vendor acknowledges and agrees that the IDX Database and the Licensed Listings are proprietary, original works of authorship of WFR, or licensed to WFR, protected under United States copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws of general applicability. Vendor further acknowledges and agrees that all right, title, and interest in and to the IDX Database and Licensed Listings, together with all modifications, enhancements, and derivative works of the IDX Database, including all copyright rights, are and shall remain with WFR. Notwithstanding the prohibition against modification of the IDX Database, in the event Vendor makes any such modification, then any modifications to the IDX Database, shall be the sole property of WFR. Vendor hereby assigns to WFR any and all modifications to the IDX Database made by Vendor, or anyone within the control of Vendor. Vendor agrees to execute all documents and take all action reasonably requested by WFR in connection with the assignment of rights to WFR. This Agreement does not convey or grant to Vendor an interest in or to the IDX Database or Licensed Listings, but only a limited right to use and display the Licensed Listings, revocable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any claim for infringement or misappropriation of the IDX Database or Licensed Listings, all damages awarded and other awards and recoveries shall be the exclusive property of WFR, and all such amounts shall be paid to WFR. In the event, for any reason, Vendor obtains possession or control of any such damages or awards, Vendor agrees to hold all such funds as trustee in trust for the exclusive benefit of WFR. Vendor agrees that it will not challenge or take any action inconsistent with WFR's rights to the IDX Database or Licensed Listings.
- Trademarks. WFR grants to Vendor a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the trademark identified on the Vendor Services Site as a trademark available to vendors for the purpose of identifying WFR as the source of the Licensed Listings ("WFR Trademark"). Any use of the WFR Trademark shall be solely for the purpose of identifying WFR as the source of the Licensed Listings, used exactly in the form displayed on the Vendor Services Site, and shall be used strictly in accordance with any additional terms set forth on the Vendor Services Site and the terms of the Display Standards. The license granted under this Section 9 of this Agreement may be terminated at any time by WFR, in its sole discretion, upon ten (10) days notice. Vendor agrees and acknowledges that the license of the WFR Trademark is made without any representations or warranties of any kind or nature. WFR does not make any representations or warranties regarding title to the WFR Trademark, the rights of any other persons or entities to the WFR Trademark, or with regard to the enforceability of any rights to the WFR Trademark. Except as provided in this Section 9 of this Agreement, no other right is granted to Vendor under this Agreement with respect to any trademarks of WFR. Vendor agrees that it shall not use any trademarks of WFR, or any marks that are confusingly similar, assert any right, license, or interest with respect to any trademarks of WFR, or represent or suggest any affiliation between WFR and Vendor. Vendor agrees that it will not file any applications or assert any rights to any of WFR's trademarks in the United States, or any other country or territory.

Specifically, upon WFR's request, Vendor shall deliver to WFR within ten (10) days of the end of each calendar quarter a list identifying all uniform resource locators for all websites on which Vendor displays Licensed Listings, including all Display Websites. WFR may, or at its option may engage an independent third party to audit, test, and inspect the books, records, equipment, and facilities of Vendor, including each Display Server, and to perform tests of Vendor's controls, systems and procedures, and of the Display Websites, as often as deemed reasonably necessary by WFR, in its sole discretion, including without limitation, (a) external attempts to penetrate any firewalls established in connection with any Display Server and protection of the Licensed Listings, (b) viewing all of the pages constituting each Display Website, (c) using the Display Websites to initiate and execute searches, (d) using all other features and functions available on the Display Websites, and if any of the features or functions of a Display Website are protected by a user authentication device, such as a password, or require registration or similar function, then using all of such features and functions.

Vendor shall not attempt to block or otherwise interfere with WFR's monitoring or review of, attempts to penetrate, or access to, any Display Server or Vendor's other systems and controls. Each such audit shall be performed in accordance with audit standards and procedures established by WFR, in its sole discretion, and shall be performed to monitor and review (v) the adequacy of Vendor's internal controls; (w) the adequacy of Vendor's security system and procedures; (x) Vendor's compliance with the Technology Standards; (y) Vendor's compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; and (z) Vendor's compliance with any other terms of this Agreement.
