Ladies and Gentlemen:
1. Conversion Obligations. Domus Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-181988) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) initially filed on June 8, 2012, as amended on July 20, 2012, and as further amended on August 17, 2012 (as amended through the date of effectiveness, the “Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed primary initial public offering (the “IPO”) of shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 (together with any class of common stock into which it may be reclassified, converted or exchanged, the “Common Stock”). In connection with the IPO and in order to facilitate its successful completion, the undersigned holder of Convertible Notes (together with any person executing the joinder agreement attached as Annex A hereto, the “Noteholder”) agrees that on the closing date of the IPO (the “Closing Date”) and immediately upon the satisfaction or fulfillment of all conditions set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the Noteholder will exercise its conversion privilege with respect to all of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes beneficially owned by the Noteholder as of the Closing Date, which shall include all of the Convertible Notes currently beneficially owned by the Noteholder and any Convertible Notes acquired by the Noteholder from the date of this Agreement through the Conversion Date (as defined below) (the “After-Acquired Notes”), into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion” and, the date of the Conversion, the “Conversion Date”) in accordance with this Agreement and the indenture, dated as of January 5, 2011, by and among Realogy, the Company, the note guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, governing the Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”).
2. Conditions to Conversion. The Noteholder’s obligations under Section 1 of this Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction or fulfillment of the following conditions (collectively, the “Conditions to Conversion”):
(a) RCIV Holdings (Luxembourg) S.à.x.x. (together with its affiliates and any transferee to which RCIV, directly or indirectly, sells, makes any short sale of, grants any option for the purchase of, or otherwise disposes of any of its Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, “RCIV”) shall have converted, or shall be converting simultaneously with the Conversion, all of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes beneficially owned by it as of the Conversion Date, which shall include all of the Convertible Notes currently beneficially owned by RCIV and any Convertible Notes acquired by RCIV from the date of this Agreement through the Conversion Date, in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture.
(b) The issuance of the shares of Common Stock in the IPO shall have occurred or shall be occurring simultaneously with the Conversion.
3. New Share Issuance. The Company agrees to issue to the Noteholder (the “New Share Issuance”) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Conversion Date, but in any event not later than the fifth Business Day (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) following the Conversion Date, 0.125 shares of Common Stock (the “New Shares”) for each share of Common Stock issued to the Noteholder in the Conversion (the “Share Payment”). To the extent any fractional shares of Common Stock are issuable to the Noteholder following the determination of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the New Share Issuance, the Company shall round up the total New Shares issuable to the Noteholder to the nearest share of Common Stock.
4. Cash Payment. The Company agrees to pay to the Noteholder on or promptly following the Conversion Date, an amount in cash equal to $55.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes beneficially owned by the Noteholder as of the Conversion Date (the “Cash Payment” and, together with the Share Payment, the “Note Premium”) subject to Section 10 of this Agreement. A portion of the Cash Payment will be attributable to interest accrued on the Convertible Notes to, but not including, the Conversion Date. The Cash Payment shall be wired by the Company to the Noteholder in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Noteholder in writing to the Company prior to the Conversion Date.
5. Lock-Up Agreement. The Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that it has entered into a lock-up agreement with the managing underwriter(s) in the IPO in substantially the form attached as Annex B hereto, which relates to the New Shares and the shares of Common Stock issued in the Conversion.
6. Representations and Warranties of the Company.

As of their respective effective dates (in the case of SEC Documents that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) as of their respective dates of filing (in the case of all other SEC Documents), except to the extent amended or superseded by a subsequent filing
2
with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement as of such respective dates, none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e) The Noteholder acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to speak with a representative of the Company and to obtain and review information reasonably requested by the Noteholder from the Company.

3
exemptions and the eligibility of the Noteholder to acquire the New Shares. The Noteholder understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the New Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the New Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the New Share Issuance.

The Noteholder has adequate information to evaluate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has had the opportunity to discuss such information with its advisors.

8. Covenants.
(a) The Noteholder agrees that it shall promptly notify the Company in writing if it acquires any Convertible Notes following the date of this Agreement.
(b) The Noteholder agrees to take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary to facilitate, encourage or otherwise effect the Conversion, including, without limitation, (i) any actions required under the Convertible Notes Indenture, including compliance with the Applicable Procedures (as such term is defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) and the payment of any funds required by Section 8.02 of the Convertible Notes Indenture and any transfer or similar taxes, if required by Section 8.07 of the Convertible Notes Indenture, and (ii) providing any other documentation or information reasonably requested by the Company, the Company’s transfer agent or the Depository Trust Company in connection with the Conversion. The Noteholder agrees to promptly notify the Company once the Conversion has been effected.
(c) From the date of this Agreement, and until the Conversion Date, the Noteholder agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, sell, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of its Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, unless the transferee enters into a joinder agreement in substantially the form attached as Annex A hereto, enters into a lock-up agreement with the managing underwriter(s) in the IPO in substantially the form attached as Annex B hereto and delivers to the Company a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9.

4
(f) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8(f), the Noteholder consents to it being named in the Registration Statement and any related press release with respect to this Agreement and agrees that the Company shall not be prohibited from disclosing the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes held by the Noteholder and the existence of this Agreement in the Registration Statement, any amendment to the Registration Statement, or any related press release; provided that, the naming of the Noteholder in any such press release shall be subject to the consent of the Noteholder, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Noteholder shall not make any public announcements or otherwise communicate with any news media with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written consent of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may make or cause to be made any press release or similar public announcement or communication as may be required to comply with the requirements of applicable law.
9. Survival. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall not survive the date of the New Share Issuance.
10. Indenture Considerations. If the Conversion occurs after the close of business on October 1, 2012 and prior to the close of business on October 12, 2012, the Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s obligation to pay the Cash Payment to the Noteholder pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement shall be discharged in full if the Company deposits funds with the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholder and in satisfaction of the Noteholder’s obligation to otherwise deliver such funds in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Convertible Notes Indenture in an amount equal to the interest payment due on October 15, 2012 (the “Interest Payment Date”) in respect of the Convertible Notes beneficially owned by the Noteholder at the close of business on October 1, 2012 (the “Record Date”) and converted on the Conversion Date. It being understood that the Noteholder will, in the situation described in the preceding sentence, be entitled to the regularly scheduled payment of interest in respect of the Convertible Notes beneficially owned by the Noteholder as of the Record Date due on the Interest Payment Date in accordance with the Convertible Notes Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10 or Section 4 of this Agreement, in no event shall the Company be required to make the Cash Payment to the Noteholder in respect of any Convertible Notes converted by the Noteholder if the Company has paid the interest due on the Interest Payment Date in respect of such Convertible Notes in accordance with the Convertible Notes Indenture.
11. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.
(a) Unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the Noteholder understands and agrees that the Company will place the legend set forth below or similar legends on any stock certificate(s) (or shares held in book-entry form through the Company’s transfer agent) evidencing the New Shares and, to the extent deemed necessary by the Company, the shares of Common Stock issued in the Conversion, together with any other legends that may be required by state or federal securities laws:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT, OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT.
5
(b) Unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the Noteholder understands and agrees that the Company will place the legend set forth below or similar legends on any stock certificate(s) (or shares held in book-entry form through the Company’s transfer agent) evidencing the New Shares and the shares of Common Stock issued in the Conversion:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT THAT RESTRICTS THE TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES BEFORE 180 DAYS (SUBJECT TO WAIVER OR EXTENSION PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE LOCK-UP AGREEMENT) AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE COMMON STOCK OF THE ISSUER. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST OF THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER.
(c) The Noteholder agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement or applicable law, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent. The Company will not be required (a) to transfer on its books any shares of Common Stock that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or applicable law or (b) to treat as owner of such shares of Common Stock, or to accord the right to vote or receive dividends, to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares of Common Stock have been so transferred.
12. Termination of Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties hereto, the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate immediately following the New Share Issuance; provided that, this Agreement shall terminate on December 26, 2012 if the underwriting agreement relating to the IPO has not been executed on or prior to such date; provided further, that Section 11 of this Agreement shall survive any such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of this Agreement shall not affect the lock-up agreement entered into by the Noteholder with the managing underwriter(s) in the IPO in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement.
13. Other Agreements. If at any time any other agreement executed by a holder of Convertible Notes with respect to converting Convertible Notes or entering into lock-up agreements in connection with the IPO contains a covenant, term or agreement that is more favorable to such holder than any covenant, term or agreement in this Agreement (each, a “Most Favored Provision”), including, but not limited to, the amount of the Note Premium, form of consideration of the Note Premium or timing of the Note Premium (or the equivalent or similar terms or provisions in such other agreement), then the Company shall promptly disclose each such Most Favored Provision to each Noteholder and such Noteholder shall have the option of receiving the benefits of each such Most Favored Provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Noteholder hereby agrees that the Company may enter into one or more agreements with other holders of Convertible Notes with respect to entering into lock-up agreements in connection with the IPO that do not require such holder to agree to convert any of their Convertible Notes and pursuant to which the Company will pay the Share Payment on terms similar to those provided herein as consideration for such agreement to enter into a lock-up agreement, it being understood that the Share Payment will be made to such holders only upon conversion of their Convertible Notes, which conversion may occur at any time prior to the redemption date of the Convertible Notes (which will be following the Closing Date), and that the lack of an agreement to also convert such holder’s Convertible Notes shall not be deemed to be a Most Favored Provision. To the extent that such Noteholder elects to receive the benefits of each such Most Favored Provision, then each such Most Favored Provision shall be deemed to be automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, as if set forth fully herein and, notwithstanding anything to
6
the contrary herein or therein, without any further action on the part of any of the parties hereto. If the agreement containing the Most Favored Provision is subsequently terminated, or amended or modified to remove the Most Favored Provision or to otherwise adversely impact the Most Favored Provision, such amendment, modification or termination shall not amend, modify or terminate such provision in this Agreement.
14. Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder to any party shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument delivered in person or sent by facsimile, electronic mail, nationally recognized overnight courier or first class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to such party at the address set forth below or such other address as may hereafter be designated in writing by such party to the other parties:

15. Assignments; Successors; No Third-Party Rights. No party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other party other than in connection with a transfer or other disposition of Convertible Notes in accordance with Section 8(c) of this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives.

16. Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived, if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the Company and the Noteholder as of the date hereof. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
7
17. Choice of Laws; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The validity of this Agreement, the construction, interpretation, and enforcement hereof, and the rights of the parties hereto with respect to all matters arising hereunder or related hereto shall be determined under, governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles (but including and giving effect to Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law). Each party to this Agreement agrees that, in connection with any legal suit or proceeding arising with respect to this Agreement, it shall submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or the applicable New York state court located in New York County and agrees to venue in such courts. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
18. Specific Performance. Without limiting the rights of each party hereto to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to such party for any other party’s failure to perform each of its obligations under this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by each of the parties that any breach of or threatened breach of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and, accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief for any such breach or threatened breach.
19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any exhibits and annexes attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided that, except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall affect the rights or obligations of the Company or the Noteholder under any other written agreement between the Company and the Noteholder.
20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties and separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
