WHEREAS, Zillow and Redfin entered into that certain Content License Agreement, effective February 6,
2025 (the “CLA”);
WHEREAS, the parties entered into that certain First Addendum to Content License Agreement, effective

parties agree as follows:
1.

Section 1.2.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by replacing

AMENDMENT TO CONTENT LICENSE AGREEMENT
“Property Tier Mix Requirements” shall have the meaning provided in Section 2.8.
“Redfin Only Product” means a Redfin advertising product offering through which managed
multi-family rental properties of twenty-five (25) units or greater, other than Zillow Properties
received via the Data Feed, may be displayed on the Redfin Sites. A property displayed under the
Redfin Only Product is a “Redfin Only Property.”
“Redfin Sites” means Redfin.com, Rent.com, Rentals.com, and Apartmentguide.com websites

AMENDMENT TO CONTENT LICENSE AGREEMENT
Redfin may use the Licensed Content to market the Redfin Only Product. For clarity, Redfin may
not use Licensed Content obtained through the Data Feed to populate, provide, or fulfill the
Redfin Only Product.

6.The following new Sections 2.7 through 2.14 are hereby added to the end of Section 2:
2.7. Minimum Property Threshold.
(a) During each Measurement Period, Zillow will include in the Data Feed the greater of (i) all
Zillow Properties or (ii) the Minimum Property Threshold, in each case measured as set forth
below. Zillow may include more than the Minimum Property Threshold at any time.
(b) The first Measurement Period will commence on the Product Launch Date and each
(each a “Measurement Period”). Redfin
Measurement Period shall run for

of the Amendment Effective Date,
Product Launch Date does not occur within
the first Measurement Period will commence
after the Amendment Effective
Date..
(c) The “Minimum Property Threshold” shall mean: (i) for the first Measurement Period,
, (ii) for the second Measurement
Period,
, and (iii) for the
third Measurement Period through the end of the Term,
.
(d) Zillow will determine compliance in its reasonable discretion by first totaling Zillow Properties
in the Data Feed each day during the Measurement Period, expressly excluding any duplicate
properties, fraudulent listings, and properties or listings that are otherwise inappropriate for
display, and dividing that total by the total number of days in such Measurement Period to reach a
daily average. The Minimum Property Threshold is met if that daily average equals or exceeds
the Minimum Property Threshold, then in effect.
(e) If the total number of Zillow Properties and Zillow Only Properties on the Zillow Sites is less
than the Minimum Property Threshold, then

(f) Intentionally omitted.
(g) Upon the commencement of any Wind-Down Period, the wind-down provisions set forth in
Exhibit B will supersede the requirements of Sections 2.7 through 2.9, and Zillow will no longer be
subject to the Minimum Property Threshold, the Property Tier Mix Requirements in Section 2.8, or
the Minimum Regional Threshold for the remainder of the Term.

-

-

2.8 Property Tier Mix Requirements. Zillow will maintain an average monthly mix of Zillow
Properties in the Data Feed of (a) no more than
Tier 1 Properties and (b) no less than
Tier 3 Properties (the “Property Tier Mix Requirements”). For the avoidance of doubt, Zillow
may deliver fewer than the Tier 1 maximum and more than the Tier 3 minimum.

AMENDMENT TO CONTENT LICENSE AGREEMENT
2.9 Minimum Properties per Region. For each Region, Zillow will maintain a minimum average
monthly distribution of Zillow Properties included in the Data Feed and located in such Region
(“Minimum Regional Threshold”), measured in the same manner as the Minimum Property
Threshold under Section 2.7, equal to (a) for the first Measurement Period, all Zillow Properties
and Zillow Only Properties on the Zillow Sites located in such Region; (b) for the second
Zillow Properties or Zillow Only Properties; and (c )
Measurement Period, an average of
for the third Measurement Period through the end of the Term an average of
Zillow
Properties or Zillow Only Properties. If the total number of Zillow Properties and Zillow Only
Properties on the Zillow Sites in a specified Region is less than the Minimum Regional Threshold,
then in effect for that Region, Zillow will be deemed to have met the requirements of this Section
2.9 if Zillow provides Redfin with all Zillow Properties on the Zillow Sites.

-

-

2.10 Redfin Only Product. Intentionally omitted.
2.11 Lead Quality Management. Any implementation Redfin adopts for spam management and
fraud prevention for Redfin Only Properties, must be substantially the same as the
implementation applied to any Zillow Properties. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall prevent Redfin
from managing the display of listings on Redfin Sites.
2.12 Treatment of Zillow Properties.
(a) Redfin will not take steps to disparage or degrade the Zillow Properties in any manner
visible to the consumer. For the avoidance of doubt, Redfin is permitted to control the
sort order on its own websites and to implement upgrades in connection with the Redfin
Only Product.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.1, Redfin will display the Licensed Content for each Zillow
Property included in the Data Feed, provided that Redfin may decline to display the
Licensed Content for a particular Zillow Property solely where the same property is then
actively displayed by Redfin as a Redfin Only Property. In each such case, the Zillow
Property will continue to count toward Zillow's satisfaction of the Minimum Property
Threshold under Section 2.7 and the Minimum Regional Threshold under Section 2.9,
and will not reduce Redfin's Minimum Lead Threshold under Section 4.1.1.
2.13 Product Launch. The earliest date on which any property displayed under a Zillow Only
Product or the Redfin Only Product may be displayed on either party’s applicable site(s) is the
Product Launch Date as defined in the Order. For the avoidance of doubt, a Redfin Only
Product and a Zillow Only Product may be sold to the same customer.
2.14 Zillow Only Properties Included After the First Measurement Period. To the extent any
Zillow Only Property is included in the Data Feed after the first Measurement Period (including
pursuant to Sections 2.7 or 2.9), such Zillow Only Property will, for so long as it remains in the
Data Feed, be treated as a Zillow Property for all purposes of this Agreement other than Sections
2.7 through 2.9.
7.

Section 3 Exclusivity shall be amended and replaced in its entirety as follows:

AMENDMENT TO CONTENT LICENSE AGREEMENT
3. Exclusivity. Beginning on the Execution Date and continuing for the remainder of the Term
(expressly excluding the Wind-Down Period), Redfin shall not, through any third party other than
Zillow, sell, market, or make available to any property management company or other participants
in the real estate industry, any product or service that provides for the display on Redfin Sites of
data and content pertaining to managed multi-family rental properties of twenty-five (25) units or
greater. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3 prohibits Redfin from selling or
displaying Redfin Only Properties through the Redfin Only Product in accordance with Sections
2.11 through 2.13.
8.

Section 4.1.1 Minimum Lead Threshold will be amended and replaced in its entirety, as follows:
4.1.1 Minimum Lead Threshold. “Minimum Lead Threshold” shall mean during (a) the first
Measurement Period, Redfin will deliver no less than
Payable
Leads per month, (b) the second Measurement Period, Redfin will deliver no less than
Payable Leads per month, and (c) the third Measurement Period
through the end of the Term, Redfin will deliver no less than
Payable Leads per month; in each case, expressly including any Payable Leads delivered to
Zillow in excess of the Lead Cap, as set forth in Exhibit C, provided that, if Zillow fails to meet the
consecutive calendar months, the Minimum Lead
Minimum Property Threshold for each of
Threshold will no longer apply for the remainder of the Term. Redfin’s failure to meet the
Minimum Lead Threshold for each of
consecutive months will constitute material breach of
this Agreement, with the understanding that the Minimum Lead Threshold will be reduced pro rata
for any technical outage of the Lead API lasting 6 hours or longer.

Section 6.1 is amended and replaced in its entirety, as follows:
Redfin will display on the Redfin Sites all Licensed Content for every Zillow Property included in
the Data Feed, although Redfin has the discretion to not display a Zillow Property that is also
advertising through the Redfin Only Product. Redfin may not require submission of a Lead to view
any Licensed Content. Redfin may supplement display of the Zillow Properties on the Redfin
Sites with content and information created by Redfin or provided by third parties, including
information on schools, neighborhood profiles, available public transportation and the like, so long
as such supplemental content and information is not duplicative of, or substantially similar to, any
data field included within the Licensed Content for the applicable Zillow Property. For each Zillow
Property displayed on the Redfin Sites, Redfin will provide a statement that such Zillow Property
was “Provided by Zillow.”

12.

Section 7.1 is amended and replaced in its entirely, as follows:

For any promotion or marketing which does not comply with, or is outside the scope of, the

provision shall prevent Redfin from promoting or marketing their ability to offer a Redfin Only
Product as contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Redfin Only Product.

Section 14.1 is amended and replaced in its entirety, as follows:
Nondisparagement. Commencing on the Execution Date and continuing for the duration of the
Term, each Party shall use reasonable and good faith efforts to not, and shall cause its Affiliates
to use reasonable and good faith efforts to not, directly or indirectly, (a) engage in any deceptive,
misleading, illegal, or unethical practices with respect to the other Party, (b) intentionally make,
publish or communicate on any Redfin Site or Zillow Site, as applicable, or in any public forum
any comments or statements concerning the other Party’s or any of its Affiliates’ products,
services or businesses that are untruthful or reckless, (c) disparage the other Party’s or any of its
Affiliates’ rentals-related products or services if such disparagement would have a material
detrimental impact on (i) Zillow’s ability to provide Licensed Content to Redfin or (ii) Redfin’s
ability to provide Leads to Zillow or to market the Redfin Only Product, or (d) use the other Party’s
or its Affiliates’ Proprietary Marks in a misleading manner

PUBLIC APPENDIX B
Public Notification

[Letter to ILS Customers pursuant to Section V]
[Zillow letterhead]
[Name and address or email address of ILS Customer
VIA U.S. MAIL, EMAIL, or HAND DELIVERED
Re: Redfin ILS.
Dear Zillow customer:
You are receiving this letter because you are a customer of Zillow Inc.’s (“Zillow”) ILS Business
and may be affected by a consent order that we have entered into with the United States Federal
Trade Commission (“Commission”), the Commonwealth of Virginia, the states of Arizona,
Connecticut, New York, and Washington, acting by and through their respective Attorneys
General (together, “Plaintiff States,” and together with the Commission, “Plaintiffs”).
In September and October of 2025, Plaintiffs filed lawsuits in the Federal District Court in the
Eastern District of Virginia (“Federal District Court”), alleging that Zillow and Redfin
Corporation (“Redfin”) entered into an agreement whereby Zillow would syndicate its listings
from ILS Customers to Redfin and Redfin would no longer enter into its own contracts for
listings with ILS Customers, and that this violates Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1
(illegal agreement); Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18 (illegal acquisition); Section 5
of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(a) (unfair method of competition); and
various state antitrust laws. To settle these subsequently consolidated lawsuits, Zillow and
Redfin entered, without admitting any violation of the law, into a stipulated settlement agreement
with Plaintiffs that the Federal District Court ordered on XXXX, 2026 (“Order”).

-

How the Order Affects You

Under the Order, Redfin must re-establish its ILS Business within 6 months of the entry of the
Order. Once re-established, Redfin will compete to enter into contracts with ILS Customers
independent of Zillow. For 9 months after Redfin has re-established its ILS Business, Zillow
must allow any ILS Customer whose contract cannot be cancelled within 3 months to exit or

renegotiate its contract with Zillow, without cost or penalty. Zillow also cannot prevent or
impede any ILS Customer from entering into a contract with Redfin.
The Order requires us to send you a notice when Redfin has re-established its ILS Business. As
of [date] Redfin has done so, and this letter is the required customer notification.
Where To Get More Information

source of information is the Order. This Order reflects an agreement between Plaintiffs and
Zillow and Redfin that settles Plaintiffs’ allegations. It does not constitute an admission by
Zillow or Redfin that they have violated the law or that any of the facts alleged by Plaintiffs
regarding Zillow’s and Redfin’s conduct are true.
