performance of and compliance with this Agreement, and the Related Agreements,
and the issuance and sale of the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and
of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Restated Articles, will not, with or
without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material
violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term,
or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the suspension,
revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit license,
authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations
or any of its assets or properties.
3.12 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation
pending or to the Company's knowledge currently threatened against the Company
that questions the validity of this Agreement, or the Related Agreements or the
right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which might result, either
individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the assets,
condition, affairs or prospects of the Company, financially or otherwise, or any
change in the current equity ownership of the Company, nor is the Company aware
that there is any basis for the foregoing. The foregoing includes, without
limitation, actions pending or threatened (or any basis therefor known to the
Company) involving the prior employment of any of the Company's
7.
employees, their use in connection with the Company's business of any
information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their former
employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior employers. The
Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ,
injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the
Company currently pending or which the Company intends to initiate.

Company's knowledge all other taxes due and payable by the Company on or before
the Closing have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they become
delinquent. The Company has not been advised (i) that any of its returns,
federal, state or other, have been or are being audited as of the date hereof,
or (ii) of any deficiency in assessment or proposed judgment to its federal,
state or other taxes. The Company has no knowledge of any liability of any tax
to be imposed upon its properties or assets as of the date of this Agreement
that is not adequately provided for.

with any of its employees. There is no labor union organizing activity pending

plan or agreement. To the Company's knowledge, no employee of the Company, nor
any consultant with whom the Company has contracted, is in violation of any term
of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other
agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to
contract with, the Company because of the nature of the business to be conducted
by the Company; and to the Company's knowledge the continued employment by the
Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company's contracts
with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The
Company has not received any notice alleging that any such violation has
occurred. No employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued
employment by the Company or to any material compensation following termination
of employment with the Company. The Company is not aware that any officer or key

not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or

filed in a timely manner. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses and
any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being

as amended, (the "Business Plan"), this Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the
Related Agreements and all other
9.
documents delivered by the Company to Purchasers or their attorneys or agents in
connection herewith or therewith or with the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact nor, to the
Company's knowledge, omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Business Plan provided to each of the Purchasers was prepared by
the management of the Company in a good faith effort to describe the Company's
proposed business and products and the markets therefore. The forward-looking
statements made in the Business Plan appeared reasonable to management as of the
date thereof; however, there is no assurance that these forward-looking
statements will prove to be valid or that the objectives set forth in the
Business Plan will be achieved. To the Company's knowledge, there are no facts
regarding the Company which (individually or in the aggregate) materially
adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition,
prospects or operations of the Company that have not been set forth in the
Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, the Related Agreements or in other documents

and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this

experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of
securities in companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the
capacity to protect its own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of
this investment indefinitely unless the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant
Shares (or the Conversion Shares) are registered pursuant to the Securities Act,
or an exemption from registration is available. Purchaser understands that the
Company has no present intention of registering the Shares, the Warrants, the
Warrant Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock.
Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from
registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if
available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion
of the Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares, or the Conversion Shares under
the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times Purchaser might propose.
(b) ACQUISITION FOR OWN ACCOUNT. Purchaser is acquiring the
Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares for
Purchaser's own account for investment only and not with a view towards their
distribution.
(c) PURCHASER CAN PROTECT ITS INTEREST. Purchaser represents
that by reason of its, or of its management's, business or financial experience,
Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the
transactions contemplated in this Agreement and the Related Agreements. Further,
Purchaser is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the
transactions contemplated in the Agreement.
(d) ACCREDITED INVESTOR. Purchaser represents that it is an
accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(e) COMPANY INFORMATION. Purchaser has received and read the
Financial Statements and Business Plan and has had an opportunity to discuss the
Company's business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers
and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the
Company's operations and facilities. Purchaser has also had the opportunity to
ask questions of and receive answers from, the Company and its management
regarding the terms and conditions of this investment.
11.
(f) RULE 144. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
Shares, the Warrants, and, if issued, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under
the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a
private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including,
among other things: the availability of certain current public information about
the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has
purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being through an
unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market

amended) and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not
exceeding specified limitations.
(g) RESIDENCE. If the Purchaser is an individual, then the

5.1 FUTURE FINANCING. The Company may sell and all Purchasers hereto
(the "Future Purchasers") shall be obligated to purchase from the Company,

(a) The Company may sell an aggregate amount of shares of the
Company's Series B-1 Preferred Stock (the Series B-1 Preferred) with a total
purchase price of two million dollars ($2,000,000) (the "Future Financing"). The
Future Purchasers will be obligated to participate in the Future Financing on a
pro rata basis upon the Company's achievement of all of the following
operational milestones (the Milestones") within the period beginning on March
17, 1998 and ending January 1, 1999 (the "Milestone Target Period") (except for
the Milestone listed in subparagraph (v) below, which the Company may achieve by
March 17, 1999); the Milestones listed below need not be achieved during the
same month, so long as such Milestones are at least at ninety percent (90%) of
the targeted level when the final Milestone is achieved. Such Milestones are as
follows:
(i) WEBSITE VISITORS. The Company receives an
aggregate of 400,000 Website visitors, including homeowners responding via toll
free calls, to its Website within any given month within 1998;
(ii) SUBMITTED JOBS. The Company processes 11,000
jobs in any given month in 1998; such jobs may include jobs that possess
insufficient information, Billable Jobs (as defined below) and jobs where lists
are delivered dynamically to homeowners without
12.
processing; all such jobs must include confidential contact information
(however, dynamically generated lists for homeowners will not be processed with
faxes to contractors);
(iii) BILLABLE JOBS. The Company processes 9,000 jobs
that contain confirmed project submissions by homeowners who provide the
required confidential contact information in processed trades ("Billable Jobs")
in any given month in 1998. Billable Jobs do not include the following (i) jobs
where there is insufficient information to process the job or (ii) test jobs.
Billable Jobs do not require a positive response from contractors.
(iv) CONTRACTOR/DESIGNER RESPONSE RATE. The Company
receives an average of 2.5 interested contractors per Billable Job for projects
with a budget in excess of $5,000 or more in any given month in 1998;
(v) REVENUE. The Company either (i) collects $160,000
in cash in any given month from March 17, 1998 through January 1, 1999 from its
revenue-generating sources and the Company collects 30% of potential Billable
Job revenue (expected to be delayed about ninety (90) days from the Billable Job
submission), generated in any given month in 1998; or (ii) from January 1, 1999
until March 17, 1999, collects $200,000 in cash in any given month and the
Company collects at least 30% of potential Billable Job revenue generated in any
given month from March 17, 1998 through March 17, 1999;
(vi) HIRING OF A CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. The Company
hires a new Chief Financial Officer within any given month of 1998; and
(vii) TECHNICAL. The Company has fully completed the
porting of its database systems into Microsoft SQL server or the equivalent from
the current Acius 4D database system by January 1, 1999.
Once a majority of the Future Purchasers reasonably determines that all
the Milestones have been achieved at any point during the Milestone Target
Period, then the Future Purchasers are obligated to participate in the Future
Financing on a pro rata basis upon the following terms: The price per share of
Series B-1 Preferred shall be determined based on a pre-money valuation of the
Company of nineteen million eight hundred seventy-five thousand dollars
($19,875,000) calculated on a fully-diluted basis (including options outstanding
under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan and the number of shares of Common
Stock which could be obtained through the exercise or conversion of all other
rights, options, warrants and convertible securities outstanding on the date of
issuance of the Series B-1 Preferred). If one of the Future Purchasers fails to
participate in the Future Financing (the "Non-Participating Purchaser"), the
other Future Purchasers may purchase the shares allocated to the
Non-Participating Purchaser on a pro rata basis. The Company shall also have the
right to buy back the Shares and the Warrants of the Non-Participating Purchaser
at $0.01 per share in addition to all other legal remedies that the Company
might have available to it.
In the event the Company fails to achieve the Milestones set forth
above, the Future Purchasers will be under no obligation to purchase shares of
Series B-1 Preferred. The purchase and sale of the Series B-1 Preferred will be
made on substantially the same terms and conditions
13.
contained in the Purchase Agreement, except for the original purchase price,
conversion price and the liquidation preference amount (however, the Series B-1
Preferred will be treated pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock), and the Future Purchasers will purchase such shares
in the same proportion to each other as the Series B Stock purchased under the
Purchase Agreement.
