2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
--------------------------------------
Each Buyer represents and warrants to the Company with respect to only
itself that, as of the date hereof and at the time of the Closing:
a. Investment Purpose. Such Buyer (i) is acquiring the Notes and
------------------
(ii) upon conversion of the Notes, will acquire the Conversion Shares then
issuable (the Notes and the Conversion Shares collectively are referred to
herein as the "Securities"), for its own account for investment only and not
with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or
distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales (i) which are registered under
the 1933 Act or (ii) which are exempted under the 1933 Act and which do not
impair or negate the ability of the Company to rely on the exemption from
registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act; provided,
however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree to
hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves
the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or
pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.
b. Accredited Investor Status. Such Buyer is an "accredited
--------------------------
investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the
1933 Act, and was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the
Securities.
c. Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the
----------------------
Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon
2
the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer's compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of
such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such
exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities.
d. Information. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have had
-----------
access to the SEC Documents (as defined in Section 3(f) below) and to all other
materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and
materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been
requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded
the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any
other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if
any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's right to
rely on the Company's representations and warranties contained in Sections 3 and
9(l) below. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and
tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.
e. No Governmental Review. Such Buyer understands that no United
----------------------
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the
fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.
f. Transfer or Resale. While such Buyer has not agreed to hold the
------------------
Securities for any minimum or other specific term, such Buyer understands that
except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Securities have
not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities
laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A)
subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the
effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold,
assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C)
such Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities
can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) ("Rule 144") or can be sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act; (ii) any sale of the
Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the
terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the
Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom
the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in
the 0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933
Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the
Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities
under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and
conditions of any exemption thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing but
subject to Section 4(j), the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona
fide margin account or other loan or other financing transaction secured by the
Securities.
3
g. Legends. Such Buyer understands that the certificates or other
-------
instruments representing the Notes and, until such time as the sale of the
Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act as contemplated by the
Registration Rights Agreement, the stock certificates representing the
Conversion Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed
against transfer of such stock certificates):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE
OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE
ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE
SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND
QUALIFICATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR
(B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II) UNLESS SOLD
PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH
A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR OTHER FINANCING
ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a
certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is

Securities are resold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
1933 Act in accordance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements under
the 1933 Act, (ii) such Securities are registered for resale under the 1933 Act
and such Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such

the 1933 Act and in accordance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements
under the 1933 Act, (iii) in connection with a sale transaction, such holder
provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the
Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, or (iv) such
holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances (including, if requested
by the Company, delivering such reasonable assurances to the Company's counsel
in connection with such counsel rendering an opinion on the validity of a sale
by such Buyer pursuant to Rule 144) that the Securities can be sold pursuant to
Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities offered as of a
particular date.

by filings made by the Company with the SEC prior to the date hereof, did not
contain 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 under which they were made, not
misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and

footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all
material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof
and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended

adjustments). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to
the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents, including, without
limitation, information referred to in Section 2(d), but excluding any

8
provided the Buyers with any material, nonpublic information other than as set

has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company has not taken any steps, and does not currently expect to take any
steps, to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company or
any of its Material Subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to believe that
its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any

sold any assets, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $5 million
outside of the ordinary course of business.
h. Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
---------------------
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government
agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the
Company, the Common Stock or any of the Company's Material Subsidiaries or any
of the Company's or the Company's Material Subsidiaries' officers or directors
in their capacities as such, except where the same would not result, either
individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, and except as
expressly set forth in the SEC Documents which were filed with the SEC at least
five (5) days prior to the date hereof. To the knowledge of the Company, none of
the directors or officers of the Company have been involved in securities

Company are listed or designated, nor will the Company or any of its Material
Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would require registration of the
issuance by the Company of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the
offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.
m. Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Material
------------------
Subsidiaries is involved in any union labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the
Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries, is any such dispute threatened. No
material number of employees of the Company or its Material Subsidiaries is a
member of a union which relates to such employee's relationship with the
Company, neither the Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries is a party to
a material collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Material
Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are generally
good. Neither the Company's current chairperson and chief executive officer nor
its current chief financial officer has notified the Company that such officer
intends to leave the Company or otherwise terminate such officer's employment
with the Company. No executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company, is in
violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or
any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued
employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of
its Material Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters.
n. Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Material
----------------------------
Subsidiaries own or possess or can acquire on reasonable terms adequate rights
or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, patents,
copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights necessary to
conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, except where the absence
to own or possess the same would not result, either individually or in the
aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company's knowledge, none of the
Company's trademark
10
registrations, service xxxx registrations, patents, copyrights, or other
intellectual property rights have expired or terminated, or are expected to
expire or terminate within two years from the date of this Agreement, except
where such expiration or termination would not result, either individually or in
the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Material
Subsidiaries do not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its
Material Subsidiaries of trademarks, trade names, service marks, patents,
copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights of others,
except where such infringement would not result, either individually or in the
aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no claim, action or proceeding
being made or brought against the Company or its Material Subsidiaries regarding
its trademarks, trade names, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets,
or infringement of other intellectual property rights, except where such claim,
action, proceeding or infringement would not result either individually or in
the aggregate in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company's knowledge there is
no claim, action or proceeding being overtly threatened against, but which has
not been made or brought against, the Company or its Material Subsidiaries
regarding its trademarks, trade names, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade
secrets, or infringement of other intellectual property rights which could
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Material Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value
of all of their intellectual property.
o. Title. The Company and its Material Subsidiaries have good and
-----
marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable
title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business
of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all
liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in the SEC
Documents filed with the SEC at least five (5) days prior to the date hereof, or
such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
any of its Material Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under
lease by the Company and any of its Material Subsidiaries are held by them under
valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not
material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such
property and facilities by the Company and its Material Subsidiaries.
p. Insurance. The Company and each of its Material Subsidiaries are
---------
insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses
and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be
prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Material
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Material Subsidiary
has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar
coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a
cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, taken as a whole.
q. Regulatory Permits. Except for Permits (as defined below) the
------------------
absence of which would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a
Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Material Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective
businesses (the "Permits"), and neither the Company nor any such Material
11
Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such Permit.
r. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its
----------------------------
Material 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 and (iii) assets are amortized and depreciated, as
applicable, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
s. Tax Status. The Company and each of its Material Subsidiaries
----------
(i) has made or filed all federal and state income and all other material tax
returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is
subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Material
Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the
payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes), (ii) has paid all taxes and other
governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or
determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those
being contested in good faith and for which the Company has made appropriate
reserves for on its books, and (iii) has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the
periods to which such returns, reports or declarations (referred to in clause
(i) above) apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be
due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction.
t. Transactions With Affiliates. Except as set forth on
----------------------------
Schedule 3(t) or in the SEC Documents filed at least five (5) days prior to the
-------------
date hereof, and other than the grant of stock options disclosed on Schedule
--------
3(c), none of the executive officers or directors of the Company is presently a
-----
party to any material transaction with the Company or any of its Material
Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors),
including any material contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for
the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring material payments to or from any
such officer, director or employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any
corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such officer,
director, or employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner.
u. Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its board
-----------------------------------
of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-
takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of the
state of its incorporation which is or could become applicable to the Buyers as
a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the Company's issuance of the Securities and the Buyers' ownership
of the Securities.
v. Rights Agreement. The Company has not adopted a shareholder
----------------
rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial
ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company.
12
w. No Other Agreements. The Company has not, directly or
-------------------
indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or
conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except
as set forth in the Transaction Documents.
x. Seniority. Payments of principal and other payments due under
---------
the Notes rank senior to the Company's Convertible Subordinated Debentures due
2018 and the Company's 4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 and any other
unsecured obligation that is ranked pari passu with either of the foregoing.
y. Exclusivity Extension. The extension granted by the Company (the
---------------------
"Extension Agreement") to each of Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") and Xxx
Communications, Inc. ("Cox"), is as follows: [Cox/Comcast] shall have the right
to terminate the mutual exclusivity provisions of the Master Distribution

the Company notice of termination of the exclusivity provisions prior to 11:59

AT&T Corp., Comcast and Cox dated March 28, 2000 (the "March 28, 2000 Letter
Agreement") as of an effective date prior to June 4, 2002, except as set forth
in Section 1 of Annex C of the March 28 Letter Agreement or as otherwise

--------------------
Securities may be pledged by an Investor (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan secured
by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a
transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Investor
effecting any such pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company
with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant
to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including without
limitation, Section 2(f) of this Agreement; provided that an Investor and its

5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
---------------------------
The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Irrevocable Transfer Agent
---------
Instructions"), and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates,
registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the
Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer
to the Company upon conversion of the Notes. Prior to registration of the
Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act, all such certificates shall bear the
restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company
warrants that no instruction inconsistent with Section 2(f) hereof or this
Section 5 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the
Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of
the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement. If a Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a public sale,
assignment or transfer of Securities may be made without registration under the
1933 Act or the Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the
Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or can be
sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act, the
Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares,
promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such
name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer and without any
restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyers by vitiating the
intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the
Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section 5 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or
threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5, that the
Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an
order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance
and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any
bond or other security being required.

AT HOME CORPORATION
DISCLOSURE LETTER TO
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Disclosure Letter (this "Letter") is made with reference to the
Securities Purchase Agreement dated June 8, 2001 (the "Agreement"), by and among
At Home Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and the investors
listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached thereto. Unless otherwise defined
herein, any capitalized terms in this Letter shall have the same meanings
assigned to such terms in the Agreement. The disclosures in this Letter are
qualified in their entirety by reference to specific provisions of the
Agreement, and are not intended to be construed as nor shall they be construed
as constituting representations or warranties of the Company except as and to
the extent provided for in the Agreement.
Inclusion of information herein shall not be construed as: (1) an
admission that such information is material to the operations or financial
condition of the Company; (2) an admission of any liability or obligation of the
Company to any third party; or (3) an admission to any third party against the
Company's interests. Any disclosure made under the heading of one section of
this Letter may apply to and/or qualify disclosures made under one or more other
sections provided that such disclosure is cross-referenced elsewhere as
applicable or unless it is reasonably apparent from the express disclosure made
that an exception is being made to other representations or warranties. Section
and subsection headings are provided for convenience only, and section and
subsection numbers and letters relate and coincide to corresponding numbers and
letters in the Agreement.
Schedule 3(a) - Organization and Qualification
----------------------------------------------
1. As the Company's services are available in multiple states and foreign
countries, such jurisdictions may claim that it is required to qualify
to do business as a foreign corporation in these states and foreign
countries. The Company and its Material Subsidiaries are qualified to
do business in a limited number of states, and their failure to
qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction where it is
required to do so could subject the Company to taxes and penalties.
The application of the laws and regulations discussed above to the
business of the Company and its Material Subsidiaries is unclear. The
Company believes that if it is required to so qualify, it will be able
to do so.

Schedule 3(f) - SEC Documents; Financial Statements
---------------------------------------------------
As of the date hereof, the Company had entered into the following
agreements which have not previously been filed as an exhibit to the
Company's reports filed with the SEC:
(a) Separation and Release Agreement with Xxxxxx Xxxx, dated April 23,
2001.

Schedule 3(j) - No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Circumstances
-------------
1. In April 2001, the Company entered into a non-binding letter agreement
with AT&T to outsource its engineering and operations services, as
well as replace its backbone capacity agreement with AT&T. In the
course of negotiating toward definitive agreements, the Company and
AT&T determined that certain of the benefits of the proposed agreement
could be achieved by negotiating a simpler transaction under which the
Company and AT&T would develop and design an enhanced network
performance plan. If successfully negotiated, AT&T would, pursuant to
a multi-month consulting and support services agreement, on
commercially reasonable, arms-length terms, assist the Company in
implementing an updated network plan to augment performance levels in
the Company's network, instead of the outsourcing arrangement
contemplated in the letter agreement. In addition, the Company and
AT&T will continue to separately negotiate in good faith a
restructured backbone capacity agreement that would provide the
Company at least $75 million in financing. There can be no assurance
that the Company and AT&T will be successful in completing the
definitive agreements with respect to the arrangements described
above.
2. The Company has previously announced its intent to explore the
potential sale or restructuring of its media operations that do not
directly support its broadband strategy. The Company has been in
negotiations with several companies regarding potential sales of
portions of its media operations. The Company has not entered into
any formal agreements regarding any of these potential transactions.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
completing sale or restructuring of media operations.
3. On June 5, 2001, the Company announced that Xxxx Xxxxx has been named
chief operating officer, a newly created position for Excite@Home. On
the same date the Company announced that Xxxxx Xxxxx, Executive Vice
President, Excite Network and Xxxx X'Xxxxx, Executive Vice President,
Broadband Services have resigned and will leave the Company in July to
pursue other opportunities, pending completion of projects.
4. Excite@Home announced that it is in discussions with Comcast
Corporation and Xxx Communications, Inc. to explore a restructuring of
its commercial relationships with these companies. Under the terms of
the March 28, 2000 letter agreement between these companies, Comcast
and/or Cox may provide six months notice of intent to terminate their
exclusivity obligations or their entire relationships with the Company
on each June 4 and December 4. Excite@Home has agreed to extend until
June 18, 2001 the time for Cox and Comcast to decide whether to give
notice to terminate the mutual exclusivity provisions effective
December 4, 2001. There can be no assurance that the parties will
reach agreement on a restructured relationship.
-5-
5. On May 30, 2001, the Board approved a change, subject to stockholder
approval, in the Company's independent public accountants effective
during the third quarter of 2001 after a transition period with the
new independent accountants. The Company intends to engage
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its new independent auditors to perform
the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for 2001.
6. On June 1, 2001, the Company entered into service level agreements
with each of Comcast and Cox. Under these agreements, the Company has
agreed that its network must meet specified performance levels, and
that it will pay each of Comcast and Cox preset liquidated damages for
failure to achieve these network performance levels during each
reporting period.
Schedule 3(t) - Transactions With Affiliates
--------------------------------------------
See Section 3(f).
Schedule 4(d) - Use of Proceeds
