(2) Includes (i) 21,957 shares of Tree.com common stock held directly by the reporting person, (ii) 59 shares of Tree.com common stock held directly by the reporting person in an individual retirement account and (iii) 2,750 shares of Tree.com common stock subject to a variable prepaid forward contract, dated September 5, 2003, between the reporting person and a financial institution, which contract matures on September 5, 2008.
(3) Represents the withholding of shares of Tree.com common stock to cover the payment of taxes in connection with the settlement of restricted stock units. No shares of Tree.com common stock were sold in connection with this settlement and related withholding.

The post-conversion stock options have the same vesting and other applicable terms and conditions as such stock options had immediately prior to the Spin-off.
