Internet at www.realestateespanol.com, which enables customers to search for
property listings and real estate agents, and to apply for mortgage loans from
companies offering their products and services through REE (the "REE SITE"). In
addition, REE offers the same or similar products on corporate Internet sites
and co-branded sites, including but not limited to Web portals, which it will
develop from time to time with the cooperation and agreement of various business
enterprises.

Hispanic real estate professionals.

of an effort to bring the benefits of technology to mortgage origination for
low- and moderate-income Hispanic and Latino borrowers ("Hispanic Community
Technology Initiative").
