FACTORING AGREEMENT
This Factoring Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of March 23, 2004, is
entered into by and among HOME DIRECTOR, INC., a Delaware corporation, HOME
DIRECTOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation, DIGITAL INTERIORS, INC., a
California corporation (collectively, "Seller"), each having its principal place
of business and chief executive office at the address set forth on Schedule 1
attached hereto, and PACIFIC BUSINESS FUNDING, a division of Greater Bay Bank,
N.A. ("Purchaser") having an office at the address identified above.
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned
to them in Section 12, Definitions. Schedules 1, 2 and 3 to this Agreement (the
"Schedules") shall for all purposes be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and
are incorporated herein.
1. PURCHASE OF ACCOUNTS.
1.1 SCHEDULE OF ACCOUNTS. Seller may, at any time, request that Purchaser
purchase Accounts. Any such request by Seller shall be made by delivering to
Purchaser a Schedule of Accounts, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Schedule of Accounts") which describes in detail the Accounts Seller is
requesting Purchaser to purchase, including, (a) the name and address of the
Account Debtor of each such Account, (b) the amount owed by the Account Debtor
of each such Account, and (c) the date and number of the invoice evidencing each
such Account. Each Schedule of Accounts shall be signed by an authorized
representative of Seller. In addition, at the request of Purchaser, Seller shall
deliver to Purchaser any other supporting documentation with respect to such
Accounts, including all invoices, purchase orders, signed contracts, delivery
receipts, timecards and other documents.
1.2 DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL OF ACCOUNTS. Purchaser may, in its sole
discretion, purchase any Account included in a Schedule of Accounts, but is
under no obligation to purchase any such Account. Purchaser may exercise its
sole discretion in approving each Account and the credit of each Account Debtor
before purchasing any Account. Purchaser will only purchase an Account it deems
to be an Eligible Account. In no event shall the aggregate amount of all
outstanding Obligations exceed the amount set forth on Schedule 1 (the "Maximum
Commitment").
1.3 PAYMENT OF ADVANCES; CREATION OF A BOOK RESERVE.
(A) Upon approval, in Purchaser's sole discretion, of any of the
Accounts described on a Schedule of Accounts, Purchaser shall
pay to Seller as the purchase price for any approved Account
the percent of the face amount of such approved Account as set
forth on Schedule 1 (the "Advance"). Purchaser may, from time
to time, in its discretion, upon notice to Home Director,
Inc., change the percentage of the Advance. Upon payment of
the Advance to Seller, Purchaser shall also create a reserve
on Purchaser's book and records with respect to each Purchased
Account in an amount equal to the face amount of the Purchased
Account minus the Advance for such Purchased Account (the
"Reserve"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, in no event shall the Reserve with respect to all
Purchased Accounts outstanding at any time be less than the
percent of the Account Balance set forth on Schedule 1.
Purchaser, may in its discretion, upon notice to Home
Director, Inc., increase the percentage of the Reserve at any
time.
(B) In addition, Seller may request that Purchaser purchase an
Account without making an Advance. Upon approval of such
Account in Purchaser's sole discretion, Purchaser may purchase
such Account without making an Advance. Any such Account
approved by Purchaser for purchase without an Advance shall be
deemed a Purchased Account (each, a "Reserve Purchased
Account"). Upon purchase of a Reserve Purchased Account the
amount of the Reserve shall be increased by the face amount of
such Account. Seller may, after Purchaser purchases a Reserve
Purchased Account, request that Purchaser pay to Seller the
Advance that would have been made to Seller at the time of
purchase had Seller requested the Advance at such time, or any
portion thereof. Purchaser may, in its discretion, elect to
make an Advance with respect to a Reserve Purchased
1
Account. If Purchaser elects to make such Advance, the Reserve
shall be decreased by the amount of such Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Purchaser
make an Advance with respect to a Reserve Purchased Account if
(i) an Event of Default or event that with notice, lapse of
time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, has
occurred, (ii) Purchaser has made a Remittance from the
Reserve after the date such Reserve Purchased Account was
purchased, or (iii) after making such Advance and deducting
such amount from the Reserve, the Reserve with respect to all
Purchased Accounts then outstanding would be less than the
percent of the Account Balance set forth on Schedule 1. Seller
shall deliver to Purchaser a LOC Funding Summary and Advance
Request form on each date Seller requests that Purchaser make
an Advance with respect to a Reserve Purchased Account. Such
requests must be made by 10:00 a.m. each business day and are
subject to Purchaser's approval.
1.4 TRANSFER OF ACCOUNTS. At the time Purchaser pays the Advance with
respect to any Account, such Account shall constitute a Purchased Account, and
Seller hereby absolutely sells, transfers and assigns to Purchaser, all of
Seller's right, title and interest in and to each Purchased Account. Seller also
hereby sells, transfers and assigns to Purchaser all of the goods represented by
each Purchased Account, all of Seller's rights and remedies as an unpaid seller
under the California Commercial Code and other applicable law, including the
rights of stoppage in transit, replevin, reclamation, and claim and delivery,
and all Seller's rights in and to all security for each such Purchased Account
and guaranties thereof, and all rights against third parties with respect
thereto. Any goods recovered or received by Seller shall be set aside marked
with Purchaser's name, and held for Purchaser's account as owner.
1.5 COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS. Each Purchased Account shall be collected
directly by the Purchaser. At the request of Purchaser, Seller and Purchaser
shall jointly notify each Account Debtor by letter that Purchased Accounts owed
by such Account Debtor have been assigned and are payable to Purchaser. Such
notification shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Seller shall not take or permit any action to change or revoke any notification
without Purchaser's prior written consent and shall not request any Account
Debtor to pay any Purchased Account to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event Seller receives any payments of any Purchased Accounts, Seller shall
(A) immediately notify Purchaser of such payment, (B) hold such payment in trust
and safekeeping for Purchaser, and (C) immediately turn over to Purchaser the
identical checks, monies or any other forms of payment received, with any
necessary endorsement or assignment. Purchaser shall have the right to endorse
Seller's name on all payments received in connection with each Purchased Account
and on any other proceeds of Collateral. In the event Purchaser receives any
payments of non-Purchased Accounts, Purchaser shall credit such collections to
the Reserve; provided, that if any Event of Default or event that with notice or
lapse of time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default then exists,
Purchaser shall have the right to apply such collections, which constitute
Collateral, to reduce the Obligations.
1.6 FULL RECOURSE. The purchase by Purchaser of Purchased Accounts from
Seller shall be with full recourse against Seller. Seller shall be liable for
any deficiency in the event the Obligations exceed the amount of Purchased
Accounts and the other Collateral.
2. FEES AND CUSTOMER PAYMENTS.
2.1 FINANCE FEES. Seller shall pay to Purchaser on each Settlement Date, a
finance fee in an amount equal to the per annum rate set forth on Schedule 1 of
the average daily Obligations outstanding during the Settlement Period ending on
such Settlement Date (the "Finance Fees"). Such accrued Finance Fees shall be
netted against the Reserve as described in Section 3.3. Upon notice by Purchaser
to Home Director, Inc. that an Event of Default has occurred hereunder, the per
annum rate of the Finance Fees applicable to all Obligations shall be equal to
the Finance Fee rate per annum set forth on Schedule 1 plus five percent (5%);
provided, that if the Event of Default is capable of being cured and is cured by
the fifth (5th) day after such notice, the Finance Fee rate per annum shall be
as set forth in Schedule 1.
2.2 ADMINISTRATIVE FEES. Seller shall pay to Purchaser on each Settlement
Date, an Administrative Fee equal to the percent set forth on Schedule 1 of the
face amount of each Account purchased by Purchaser during the Settlement Period
ending on such Settlement Date (the "Administrative Fee"). All Administrative
Fees shall be netted against the Reserve as described in Section 3.3.
2.3 COMMITMENT FEE. Seller shall pay to Purchaser on the date of this
Agreement, and on each anniversary date of this Agreement, the Commitment Fee
set forth on Schedule 1 (the "Commitment Fee"). All Commitment Fees shall be
netted against the Reserve as described in Section 3.3.
2.4 TRANSACTION FEE. In order to monitor and track Purchased Accounts, a
transaction fee will be assessed by Purchaser based upon invoice and payment
volume as set forth on Schedule 1 (the "Transaction Fees"). Seller shall pay to
2
Purchaser the Transaction Fees set forth on Schedule 1 as and when set forth on
Schedule 1. All Transaction Fees shall be netted against the Reserve as
described in Section 3.3.
2.5 OTHER FEES. Seller will pay to Purchaser the other fees and charges
set forth in Schedule 1 as and when set forth on Schedule 1 ("Other Fees"). All
Other Fees shall be netted against the Reserve as described in Section 3.3.
2.6 MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE. In no event shall any charges that may constitute
interest hereunder exceed the highest rate permitted under applicable law. In
the event that a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final determination
that Purchaser has received interest hereunder in excess of the maximum lawful
rate, then such excess shall be deemed a payment of principal and the interest
payable hereunder deemed amended to the amount payable under the maximum lawful
rate.
2.7 CREDITING CUSTOMER PAYMENTS. To allow for application of payments and
for purposes of computing Finance Fees, all payments shall be applied to the
Obligations on that number of business days identified on Schedule 1 after
payments are received by Purchaser (the "Customer Payments"). Payments received
after 12:00 p.m. (California time) on any business day shall be deemed to have
been received on the following business day. So long as no Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing, Purchaser shall credit such Customer Payment to the
amount outstanding with respect to the Purchased Account for which such payment
was made. If Purchaser receives a Customer Payment and is unable to identify
where funds are to be applied, Purchaser shall inform Seller and hold said funds
in suspense. Funds will remain in suspense and will not be considered an applied
payment until Purchaser and Seller agree as to the application of funds.
Customer Payments held in suspense will not be credited until after that number
of business days identified on Schedule 1 after payments are released from the
suspense account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default and following the Termination Date, Seller hereby irrevocably waives
the right to direct the application of any and all such payments received from
or on behalf of Seller, and Seller hereby irrevocably agrees that Purchaser
shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments,
including Customer Payments, to the Obligations in such order and manner as
Purchaser shall, in its sole discretion, determine. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Customer Payment is subsequently dishonored or Purchaser does
not receive good funds for any reason, the amount of such uncollected Customer
Payment shall be included in the Obligations as if such Customer Payment had not
been received, and Finance Fees shall accrue thereon, and the credit to the
Obligations shall be reversed.
2.8 OPTIONAL REPURCHASE. Seller shall have the option at any time to
repurchase all Purchased Accounts by paying the outstanding amount of all
Advances together with all Finance Fees and all other Obligations accrued and
unpaid as of the date of such repurchase and by paying a repurchase fee
identified in Schedule 1 ("Repurchase Fee").
2.9 ACCOUNTING. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller after each Settlement
Date, a statement of Seller's account which shall include an accounting of the
transactions of the Settlement Period, including the amount of all Finance Fees,
Administrative Fees, Adjustments, Chargeback Amounts, Customer Payments and
Purchased Accounts. The accounting shall constitute an account stated and shall
be binding on Seller and deemed correct unless Seller delivers to Purchaser a
written objection within thirty (30) days after such accounting is mailed to
Seller.
3. ADJUSTMENTS, CHARGEBACKS AND REMITTANCES.
3.1 ADJUSTMENTS. In the event any Account Debtor asserts any offset,
defense, counterclaim, dispute, discount, allowance, right of return, right of
recoupment, or warranty claim with respect to a Purchased Account, or pays less
than the face amount of such Purchased Account (each, an "Adjustment"),
Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, either (A) deduct the amount of the
Adjustment in calculating the Remittance, or (B) chargeback to Seller the
Purchased Account with respect to which the Adjustment is asserted. Seller shall
advise Purchaser immediately upon learning of any Adjustment asserted by any
Account Debtor.
3.2 PURCHASED ACCOUNT NO LONGER MEETING ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. In the
event any Purchased Account fails to constitute an Eligible Account after the
date it is purchased, Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, either (A) deduct
the amount of such Purchased Account multiplied by the Advance Rate that was
applicable to such Purchased Account at the time it was purchased, in
calculating the Remittance, or (B) chargeback to Seller the Purchased Account
that is no longer an Eligible Account. Seller shall advise Purchaser immediately
upon learning of any Purchased Account that is no longer an Eligible Account.
3.3 CHARGEBACKS. Purchaser shall have the right to charge back to Seller
any Purchased Account:
(A) which remains unpaid ninety (90) calendar days after the
invoice date;
(B) with respect to which there has been a breach of any warranty,
representation, covenant or agreement set forth in this
Agreement;
(C) with respect to which the Account Debtor asserts any
Adjustment;
(D) which is no longer an Eligible Account; or
3
(E) which is owed by an Account Debtor that has filed, or has had
filed against it, any bankruptcy case, insolvency proceeding,
assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership or
insolvency proceeding, or that has become insolvent (as
defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) or that is
generally not paying its debts as such debts become due.
Upon demand by Purchaser, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the full amount of any
Advance against any Purchased Account which has been charged back to Seller
pursuant to this Section 3.3, or to the extent partial payment has been made,
the amount by which the Advance exceeds such partial payment, together with any
attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with collecting
such Purchased Account and any accrued interest or fees relating to the Advance
(collectively, the "Chargeback Amount"). Purchaser shall advise Seller regarding
how the Chargeback Amount shall be paid, which may be by any one or a
combination of the following, in Purchaser's sole discretion: (1) payment in
cash immediately upon demand; (2) deduction from or offset against any
Remittance that would otherwise be payable to Seller; (3) payment from any
Advances that may otherwise be made to Seller; (4) adjustment to the Reserve
pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof; or (5) delivery of substitute Accounts and a
Schedule of Accounts acceptable to Purchaser, which Accounts shall constitute
Purchased Accounts.
3.4 REMITTANCE. Purchaser shall, in its sole discretion, remit to Seller
after the Settlement Date, or within five (5) business days after the end of
each calendar month, the amount, if any, that Purchaser owes to Seller at the
end of the Settlement Period or for all Settlement Periods ending during the
immediately preceding month if Purchaser elects to make such remittance to
Seller after the end of a calendar month, based on the following calculations
set forth below (the "Remittance"); provided, that if there then exists any
Event of Default or any event or condition that with notice or lapse of time
would constitute an Event of Default, Purchaser shall not be obligated to remit
any payments to Seller. If the amount resulting from the following calculation
is a positive number, such amount is the amount of the Remittance for such
Settlement Period. If the resulting amount is a negative number, such amount is
the amount owed by Seller to Purchaser.
The calculations to be used are as follows:
(A) The sum of the following:
(1) The Reserve as of the beginning of the subject
Settlement Period, plus
(2) The Reserve created for each Account purchased during
the subject Settlement Period;
MINUS
(B) The sum of the following:
(1) Finance Fees accrued during the subject Settlement
Period; plus
(2) Administrative Fees accrued during the subject
Settlement Period; plus
(3) Commitment Fee accrued during the subject Settlement
Period; plus
(4) Transaction Fees accrued during the subject Settlement
Period; plus
(5) Other Fees accrued during the subject Settlement Period;
plus
(6) Adjustments during the subject Settlement Period if
Purchaser has not charged back such Purchased Account
for which the Adjustment is asserted; plus
(7) The face amount of any Purchased Account no longer
deemed to be an Eligible Account, multiplied by the
Advance Rate applicable to such Account at the time it
was purchased, if Purchaser has not charged back such
Purchased Account;
(8) Chargeback Amounts, to the extent Purchaser has agreed
to accept payment of any such Chargeback Amount by
deduction from the Remittance; plus
(9) All professional fees and expenses as set forth in
Section 9 for which oral or written demand has been made
by Purchaser during the subject Settlement Period; plus
(10) The Reserve for the Account Balance as of the first day
of the following Settlement Period in the minimum
percentage set forth in Section 1.3 hereof.
If the foregoing calculations result in a Remittance payable to Seller,
Purchaser shall make such payment, subject to Purchaser's rights of offset and
recoupment, and its right to deduct any Chargeback Amount as set forth in
Section 3.2. If the foregoing calculations result in an amount due to Purchaser
from Seller, Seller shall make such payment by any one or a combination of the
methods set forth in Section 3.2 hereof for chargebacks, as determined by
Purchaser in its discretion.
4. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Seller hereby appoints Purchaser and its designees as
Seller's true and lawful attorney in fact, to exercise in Purchaser's
discretion, and regardless of whether an Event of Default is then existing, all
of the following powers, such powers being coupled with an interest: (A) to

have been given to Seller regardless of whether a copy of such notice is given
to any other Co-Obligor.
11.4 TITLES AND SECTION HEADINGS. The titles and section headings used
herein are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this
Agreement.
12. CO-OBLIGORS. Each of Home Director, Inc., Home Director Technologies, Inc.,
and Digital Interiors, Inc. (individually referred to in this Section 12 as a
"Co-Obligor" and, collectively, as the "Co-Obligors") are related entities which
may be owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the same or related
entities or persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other affiliation
between the Co-Obligors, each Co-Obligor acknowledges that it is jointly and
severally liable to Purchaser for the Obligations.
12.1 PRIMARY OBLIGATION. This Agreement is a primary and original
obligation of each Co-Obligor and shall remain in effect notwithstanding future
changes in conditions, including any change of law or any invalidity or
irregularity in the creation or acquisition of any Obligations or in the
execution or delivery of any agreement between Purchaser and a Co-Obligor. Each
Co-Obligor shall be liable for existing and future Obligations as fully as if
all Accounts purchased hereunder were paid directly to such Co-Obligor.
Purchaser may rely on any certificate or representation made by a Co-Obligor as
made on behalf of, and binding on, all Co-Obligors, including without limitation
any Schedule of Accounts or other requests by a Co-Obligor that Purchaser
purchase Accounts.
12.2 ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS. Co-Obligors are jointly and severally liable
for the Obligations and Purchaser may proceed against one or more of the
Co-Obligors to enforce the Obligations without waiving its right to proceed
against any of the other Co-Obligors.
12.3 CO-OBLIGORS AS AGENTS. Each Co-Obligor appoints the other Co-Obligors
as its agent with all necessary power and authority to give and receive notices,
certificates or demands for and on behalf of all Co-Obligors, to act as
disbursing agent for receipt, and direction of payment, of any Advances on
behalf of each Co-Obligor and to apply to Purchaser on behalf of each Co-Obligor
for Advances, any waivers and any consents. This authorization cannot be
revoked, and Purchaser need not inquire as to each Co-Obligor's authority to act
for or on behalf of Seller.
12.4 SUBROGATION AND SIMILAR RIGHTS. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith,
each Co-Obligor irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in
equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Co-Obligor to the
rights of Purchaser under the Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification,
or any other form of reimbursement from any other Co-Obligor, or any other
person or entity now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the
Obligations, for any payment made by the Purchaser with respect to the
Obligations in connection with the Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it
might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the
Obligations as a result of any payment made by Seller with respect to the
Obligations in connection with the Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement
providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited
under this Section 12.4 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a
Co-Obligor in contravention of this Section 12.4, such Co-Obligor shall hold
such payment in trust for Purchaser and such payment shall be promptly delivered
to Purchaser for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
12.5 WAIVERS OF NOTICE. Each Co-Obligor waives notice of acceptance
hereof; notice of the existence, creation or acquisition of any of the
Obligations; notice of an Event of Default; notice of the amount of the
Obligations outstanding at any time; notice of intent to accelerate; notice of
acceleration; notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any
other Co-Obligor or of any other fact that might increase the Seller's risk;
presentment for payment; demand; protest and notice thereof as to any
instrument; default; and all other notices and demands to which the Seller would
otherwise be entitled. Each Co-Obligor waives any defense arising from any
defense of any other Co-Obligor, or by reason of the cessation from any cause
whatsoever of the liability of any other Co-Obligor. Purchaser's failure at any
time to require strict performance by any Co-Obligor of any provision of the
Agreement shall not waive, alter or diminish any right of Purchaser thereafter
to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Nothing contained herein
shall prevent Purchaser from foreclosing on the Collateral or any lien of any
deed of trust, mortgage or other security instrument, or exercising any rights
available thereunder, and the exercise of any such rights shall not constitute a
legal or equitable discharge of any Co-Obligor. Each Co-Obligor also waives any
defense arising from any act or omission of Purchaser that changes the scope of
the Co-Obligor's risks hereunder. Each Co-Obligor hereby waives any right to
assert against Purchaser any defense (legal or equitable), setoff, counterclaim,
or claims that such Co-Obligor individually may now or hereafter have against
another Co-Obligor or any other person or entity liable to Purchaser with
respect to the Obligations in any manner or whatsoever.
9
12.6 SUBROGATION DEFENSES. Each Co-Obligor hereby waives any defense based
on impairment or destruction of its subrogation or other rights against any
other Co-Obligor and waives all benefits which might otherwise be available to
it under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2848,
2849, 2850, 2899, and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a,
580b, 580d and 726, as those statutory provisions are now in effect and
hereafter amended, and under any other similar statutes now and hereafter in
effect.

(A) The liability of Co-Obligors hereunder shall not be diminished by (i) any
agreement, understanding or representation that any of the Obligations is or was
to be guaranteed by another person or entity or secured by other property, or
(ii) any release or unenforceability, whether partial or total, of rights, if
any, which Purchaser may now or hereafter have against any other person or
entity, including another Co-Obligor, or property with respect to any of the
Obligations.
(B) Without notice to any Co-Obligor and without affecting the liability of any
Co-Obligor hereunder, Purchaser may (i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the
time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, discharge the
performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations
with respect to a Co-Obligor, (ii) grant other indulgences to a Co-Obligor in
respect of the Obligations, (iii) modify in any manner any documents relating to
the Obligations with respect to a Co-Obligor, (iv) release, surrender or
exchange any deposits or other property securing the Obligations, whether
pledged by a Co-Obligor or any other person or entity, or (v) compromise,
settle, renew, or extend the time for payment, discharge the performance of,

or other person or entity who is now or may hereafter be liable with respect to
any of the Obligations.
