Explanation of Responses:
1. By Cendant Membership Services Holdings, Inc. ("Services"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person.
2. On December 17, 2003, Cendant Corporation ("Cendant") entered into a contract with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") pursuant to which Cendant will sell 3,400,000 shares of Homestore, Inc. Common Stock ("Stock") to Citibank at $3.33 per share plus a capped share appreciation rights option (the "SAR") from Citibank with respect to the same number of shares of Stock. The SAR and sale of Stock will be settled in ten installments during a ten-trading-day period beginning January 20, 2004 and ending February 2, 2004 (each such trading day, a "Settlement Date"). On each Settlement Date, the settlement price of the portion of the SAR settled on that date will be equal to the excess, if any, of the closing price of Stock on that Settlement Date over $3.33 (any such excess, a "Realization") multiplied by the number of shares of Stock underlying the portion of the SAR settled on such Settlement Date, provided that in no case shall any Realization be more than $0.555 per share.
