together, the "Subscribers").
ARTICLE I - SUBSCRIPTION AND REPRESENTATIONS
BY AND COVENANTS OF SUBSCRIBER
1.1 The Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to each Subscriber
signatory hereto and, subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof and in
reliance on the representations and warranties, terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, each Subscriber severally agrees to purchase from the Company its 8%
Convertible Notes due 2004 (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) (the
"Notes") in an amount equal to such Subscriber's subscription amount set forth
below such Subscriber's name on the signature page hereto (the "Purchase Price")
and warrants (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) (the "Warrants"), to
purchase shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share
("Common Stock") in an amount equal to 100% of such Subscriber's subscription
amount divided by $1.00. The Company agrees to sell such Notes and Warrants to
the Subscribers for said Purchase Price. The purchase price is payable by
certified or bank check made payable to, or by wire transfer of funds to Home
Director, Inc. contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement. The maximum aggregate purchase price for all Notes and Warrants sold
hereunder shall be equal to $1,000,000.
1.2 At such time as there are persons purchasing $500,000 of Notes and
Warrants (the "First Investors"), there shall be a closing for the purchase and
sale of such Notes and Warrants (the "First Closing") at the offices of counsel
to the Company, at such time and date as is mutually agreed upon by the Company
and the First Investors, or at such other place as is mutually agreed upon by
the Company and the First Investors. Subsequent to the First Closing, there
shall be one or more subsequent closings for the purchase and sale of any
additional Notes and Warrants (each a "Subsequent Closing"; and collectively
with the First Closing, the "Closings") at such time, date and location as is
mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Subscribers purchasing Notes and
Warrants at each Subsequent Closing. The date and time of the First Closing and
each Subsequent Closing are referred to herein as a "Closing Date."
Each Subscriber represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, to the
Company as follows (each of which representations and warranties are true as of
the date hereof and shall be true as of the Closing in which such Subscriber
participates):
1.3 Each Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Notes and Warrants
involves a high degree of risk in that (i) the Company will need additional
capital but has no assurance of additional necessary capital; (ii) an investment
in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss
of their entire investment should consider investing in the Notes and Warrants;
(iii) an investor may not be able to liquidate his investment; (iv)
transferability of the Notes and Warrants and the securities issuable upon
exchange or exercise thereof is extremely limited; and (v) an investor could
sustain the loss of his/its entire investment.
1.4 Each Subscriber represents that he/it is able to bear the economic risk
of an investment in the Notes and Warrants.
1.5 Each Subscriber acknowledges that he/it has prior investment
experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, or
he/it has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant
to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company to him
and to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on his behalf, and
that he/it recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment.
1.6 Each Subscriber hereby represents that he/it has been furnished by the
Company during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the
Company which he/it had requested or desired to know; that all documents which
could be reasonably provided have been made available for his/its inspection and
review; and that he/it has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the
Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and any additional
information which he/it had requested.
1.7 Each Subscriber acknowledges that this offering of Notes and Warrants
may involve tax consequences, and that he/it must retain his own professional
advisors to evaluate the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes and
Warrants.
1.8 Each Subscriber acknowledges that this offering of Notes and Warrants
has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") because
of the Company's representations that this is intended to be a non-public
offering pursuant to Sections 4(2) or 3(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"). Each Subscriber represents that the Notes and Warrants are
being purchased for his/its own account, for investment and not for distribution
or resale to others. Each Subscriber agrees that he/it will not sell or
otherwise transfer the Notes or Warrants or underlying securities unless they
are registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is
available. Each Subscriber represents and warrants that he/it is an "accredited
investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Act.
1.9 Each Subscriber consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit
the transfer of the Notes or Warrants or underlying securities out of his/its
name only when his request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the proposed transfer does not
result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state blue sky laws
(collectively, the "Securities Laws").
1.10 Each Subscriber consents to the placement of one or more legends on
any certificate or other document evidencing his/its Notes and Warrants or
underlying securities stating that they have not been registered under the Act
and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale
thereof.
1.11 Each Subscriber hereby represents that the address furnished by him at
the end of this Agreement is his principal residence if he is an individual or
its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
1.12 Each Subscriber hereby represents that, except as set forth herein, no
representations or warranties have been made to such Subscriber by the Company
or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company, and in entering into this
transaction such Subscriber is not relying on any information other than that
obtained as the result of independent investigation by such Subscriber.
1.13 If the undersigned Subscriber is a partnership, corporation, trust or
other entity, such partnership, corporation, trust or other entity further
represents and warrants that: (i) it was not formed for the specific purpose of
investing in the Company; (ii) it is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to
purchase and
2
hold the Notes and Warrants; and (iii) this Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered, and it constitutes the legal, binding and
enforceable obligation of the undersigned.
ARTICLE II - REPRESENTATIONS BY THE COMPANY
Except as set forth under the corresponding section of the disclosure
schedules delivered to the Subscribers concurrently herewith (the "Disclosure
Schedules") which Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed a part hereof, the
Company hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth below to each
Subscriber:

"Subsidiary," and collectively, "Subsidiaries") except as described in the SEC
Reports (as defined below). All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable
and free of preemptive and similar rights, and the Company owns all of the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary, except as
described in the SEC Reports. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is an
entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization
(as applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its
properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions
of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is
an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization
(as applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its

2.2 All actions required to authorize and effect the offer and sale of the
Notes and Warrants and underlying securities by the Company have been duly taken
and approved. The Company has all requisite power and full legal right to
execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes and Warrants, and to perform
all of its obligations hereunder and thereunder in accordance with the
respective terms hereof and thereof. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitutes, and each of the Notes and Warrants,
when executed and delivered by the Company at the Closings, will constitute, a
legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in
accordance with its respective terms, except to the extent that the same may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance,
moratorium or other laws in effect relating to creditors' rights generally or by
general principles of equity whether asserted in an action at law or in equity.
2.3 The Notes and Warrants have been duly authorized and when duly
executed, issued and delivered upon payment therefor will be validly issued and
outstanding and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except
to the extent that the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws in effect
relating to creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity
whether asserted in an action at law or in equity. The shares of Common Stock of
the Company issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants and when issued in accordance with
the terms of the Warrants will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
2.4 The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the
Company's or any Subsidiary's certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws
or
3
other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute
a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of,
any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company
or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or
any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or
any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of
any court or governmental authority as currently in effect to which the Company
or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary
is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such
as could not, individually or in the aggregate (a) adversely affect the
legality, validity or enforceability of the Offering, (b) have or result in or
be reasonably likely to have or result in a material adverse effect on the
results of operations, assets, prospects, business or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (c)
adversely impair the Company's ability to perform fully on a timely basis its
obligations under this Agreement (any of (a), (b) or (c), a "Material Adverse
Effect").
2.5 The number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and outstanding
capital stock of the Company is set forth in the Disclosure Schedules attached
hereto. No securities of the Company are entitled to preemptive or similar
rights, and no person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of
participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions
contemplated hereby. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports and as a result of
the purchase and sale of the Notes and Warrants, there are no outstanding
options, warrants, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any
character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations
convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any person any right to
subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments,
understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any subsidiary is or may
become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights
convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. The issuance and sale
of the Notes and Warrants will not obligate the Company to issue shares of
Common Stock or other securities to any person (other than the Subscribers) and
will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the
exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. All of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and
state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in
violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or
purchase securities. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder,
the Board of Directors of the Company or others is required for the issuance and
sale of the Notes and Warrants. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there
are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements
with respect to the Company's capital stock to which the Company is a party or,
to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any of the Company's
stockholders.
2.6 The Company has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act of 1933 as amended, (the "Securities Act") and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or
such shorter period as the Company was required by law to file such material)
(the foregoing materials being collectively referred to herein as the "SEC
Reports") on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of
filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such
extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all
material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of
the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
4
under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved ("GAAP"), except as
may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto,
and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the
Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and
the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in
the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit
adjustments.
2.7 Except as contemplated hereby, since the date of the latest audited
financial statements included within the SEC Reports, except as specifically
disclosed in the SEC Reports: (i) there has been no event, occurrence or
development that has had a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not
incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables
and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company's
financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings
made with the SEC, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting or
the identity of its auditors, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any
dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders except in
the ordinary course of business consistent with prior practice, or purchased,
redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital
stock except consistent with prior practice or pursuant to existing Company
stock option or similar plans, and (v) the Company has not issued any equity
securities to any officer, director or affiliate, except pursuant to existing
Company stock option or similar plans.
2.8 Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there is no action, suit,
inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, any
Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any court,
arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an "Action") which:
(i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of
this Subscription Agreement or the Offering or (ii) would, if there were an
unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the SEC
Reports, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is or has been the subject of
any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state
securities laws. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there
is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the
Company. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the
effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any
Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
2.9 The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or
foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses
as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such
permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect ("Material Permits"), and
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
2.10 The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof,
received notice from the principal trading market for the Common Stock to the
effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements of such market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that
it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all
such listing and maintenance requirements.
5
2.11 The Company is in material compliance with the requirements of the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 applicable to it as of the date hereof. The Company
and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in
accordance with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to
maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management's general or specific authorization, and (iv) the
recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed
such disclosures controls and procedures to ensure that material information
relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the
certifying officers by others within those entities. The Company's certifying
officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures as of the last day of the reporting period for its most recently
filed periodic report (such date, the "Evaluation Date"). The Company presented
in its most recently filed periodic report the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there
have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over
financial reporting (as such term is defined under the Exchange Act).
2.12 The Company confirms that neither the Company nor any other person
acting on its behalf has provided any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with
any information that constitutes or could reasonably be deemed to constitute
material, non-public information. The Company understands and confirms that each
Subscriber will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. The disclosure provided to each
Subscriber regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated
hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company, including all of the SEC
Reports, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that each Subscriber makes or has made no
representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Agreement.
2.13 The Company has filed all Tax (as hereinafter defined) reports and
returns that it was required to file. All such reports and returns were correct
and complete in all material respects. All Taxes owed by the Company (whether or
not shown on any report or return) have been paid or, if not yet due,
appropriate accruals therefor as required under GAAP have been made on the
Company's financial records and on the financial statements described in Section
2.6. No claim has been made by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction where the
Company does not pay Tax or file tax returns that the Company is or may be
subject to Taxes assessed by such jurisdiction. There are no liens for Taxes
(other than current Taxes not yet due and payable) on the assets of the Company.
There is no action, suit, investigation, liability, taxing authority proceeding,
or audit with respect to any Tax now in progress, pending or, to the Company's
knowledge, threatened, against or with respect to the Company, whether in
respect of any Tax reports and returns that were not filed in a timely manner or
for any other reason. No deficiency or proposed adjustment in respect of Taxes
that has not been settled or otherwise resolved has been asserted or assessed by
any taxing authority against the Company which is not accrued on the most recent
balance sheet of the Company filed with its SEC Reports. The Company has not
consented to extend the time in which any Tax may be assessed or collected by
any taxing authority. As used in this Section 2.13, the terms "Taxes" and "Tax"
mean all federal, state, local and foreign taxes, including, without limitation,
income, unemployment, withholding, payroll, social security, real property,
personal property, excise, sales, use and franchise taxes, levies, assessments,
duties, licenses and registration
6
fees and charges of any nature whatsoever, including interest, penalties and
additions with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions and
penalties.
2.14 (a) All patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade names, service
marks, logos and copyrights and other intellectual property used in or material
to the Company's business as now being conducted or as proposed to be conducted
(collectively, and together with any technology, know-how, trade secrets,
processes, formulas, and techniques used in or material to the Company's
business, "Proprietary Information") are either owned or licensed by the
Company.
(b) To the Company's knowledge, none of the Proprietary Information is
being infringed by others, or is subject to any outstanding order, decree,
judgment, or stipulation. No litigation (or other proceedings in or before any
court or other governmental, adjudicatory, arbitral, or administrative body)
relating to the Proprietary Information is pending or, to the Company's
knowledge, threatened, nor, to the Company's knowledge, is there any basis for
any such litigation or proceeding.
(c) To the Company's knowledge, it is not infringing on or making
unlawful use of any intellectual property or any proprietary or confidential
information of any person. No litigation (or other proceedings in or before any
court or other governmental, adjudicatory, arbitral, or administrative body)
charging the Company with infringement or unlawful use of any patent, trademark,
copyright, or other proprietary right is pending or, to the Company's knowledge,
threatened; nor, to the Company's knowledge, is there any basis for any such
litigation or proceeding.
2.15 The Company maintains policies of insurance with, to the knowledge of
the Company, financially sound and reputable insurance companies, funds, or
underwriters, which are of the kinds and which cover such risks, and are in such
amounts and with such deductibles and exclusions, as are consistent with prudent
business practice for similarly situated businesses in the Company's business.
All such policies are in full force and effect, are sufficient for compliance in
all respects by the Company with all requirements of law and of all agreements
to which it is a party and will not terminate or lapse or otherwise be affected
in any way by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.
2.16 The Company is not an "investment company" as such term is defined in
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and will not be an investment
company under such Act upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
or after giving effect to the use of proceeds from the purchase of the Notes and
Warrants.
2.17 The offer, sale and issuance of the Notes and Warrants without
registration (assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties made
by the Subscribers in Article 1 hereof) will not violate the Securities Act, or
any applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws or other applicable laws.
None of the Company, its affiliates or any person acting on its behalf has
engaged in any form of general solicitation or advertising (as defined in Rule
502(c) of the Securities Act) or engaged in any action that would require the
registration under the Securities Act of the offering and sale of the Notes and
Warrants pursuant to this Agreement.
2.18 There are no claims for investment banking fees, brokerage
commissions, finder's fees or similar compensation (exclusive of professional
fees to attorneys and accountants) in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement based on any arrangement or agreement made by or
on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates. The Company agrees that the
Subscribers shall have no obligation with
7
respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of any
person for fees of the type contemplated by this Section with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
2.19 As of the Closing Date, no indebtedness of the Company is senior to
the Notes in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or upon
liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured by
purchase money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets
covered thereby) and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to the
property covered thereby).
2.20 The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes and
Warrants hereunder for working capital purposes and not for the satisfaction of
any portion of the Company's debt (other than payment of trade payables, capital
lease obligations and accrued expenses in the ordinary course of the Company's
business and prior practices), to redeem any Company equity or equity-equivalent
securities or to settle any outstanding litigation.

other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscriber are in any way

has elected to provide various Subscribers with the same terms and agreements
for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested
to do so by the Subscribers.
