Amendment to Investment Agreement

On January 6, 2009, Banks.com, Inc. (the “Company”) and Capital South Partners Fund I Limited Partnership, Capital South Partners Fund II Limited Partnership, and Harbert Mezzanine Partners II SBIC, L.P. (collectively, the “Lenders”) entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Investment Agreement between the Company and the Lenders, dated July 21, 2006 (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which $7,000,000 of the Company’s 13.50% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2011 (the “Notes”) were sold and issued. The First Amendment is effective retroactive to December 31, 2008. The First Amendment, among other things:

 

   

modifies the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA,” which is used to calculate the leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio that must be maintained by the Company pursuant to the financial covenants set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Investment Agreement, to include the amount of any non-cash write-down of goodwill;

 

   

accelerates the maturity date of the Notes (from July 21, 2011 to June 30, 2010);

 

   

requires the Company to use the proceeds of any federal or state income or other tax refund (in excess of $5,000) to repay the Company’s obligations under the Notes; and

 

   

adds a new affirmative covenant pursuant to which the Company must exercise commercially reasonable best efforts to sell certain of its domain name assets for aggregate net cash proceeds mutually agreed to by the Company and the Lenders, on or before March 31, 2009. Such proceeds shall be used to prepay the principal balance on the Notes.

The description of the terms and conditions of the First Amendment set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by this reference. The First Amendment has been included to provide information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. Such information can be found in other public filings the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are available without charge at www.sec.gov.

Copies of the Investment Agreement and the Notes are on file with the SEC as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 27, 2006.

Agreement to Issue Series C Preferred Stock

On January 6, 2009, the Company agreed to issue to Daniel M. O’Donnell, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of


the Company, and certain of his affiliates (the “Investors”) 3,000,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock of the Company designated as the Company’s “Series C Preferred Stock,” par value $.001 per share (the “Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000 or $0.10 per Share. The Shares are to be issued pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) executed by the Investors on January 6, 2009 and agreed to and accepted by the Company on January 6, 2009.

The Lenders have agreed that the investment by the Investors in the Shares satisfies the terms and conditions of the Waiver granted to the Company by the Lenders on November 21, 2008 (the “Waiver), pursuant to which the Lenders consented to and waived certain events of default under the Investment Agreement. Additional information regarding the Waiver can be found in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on November 25, 2008.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement between Barron Partners LP (“Barron”) and the Company, dated September 26, 2005, Barron provided its consent to the sale of the Shares and declined to participate in such financing. In exchange, the Company agreed to pay Barron $0.015 per share for each share of the Company’s common stock owned by Barron on June 30, 2009 if the Company does not have Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the agreement between the parties) of at least $3.0 million at June 30, 2009.

The Lenders’ continued waiver of the Events of Default for the Waiver Period is subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the execution by the Company and the Lenders of the First Amendment described in further detail under the subheading “Amendment to Investment Agreement” in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On January 6, 2009, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida Articles of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, which were further amended on January 8, 2009 (collectively, the “Articles of Amendment”). The Articles of Amendment, which became effective as of January 6, 2009 and January 9, 2009, respectively, (1) designate a series of preferred stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), to be designated as “Series C Preferred Stock,” consisting of 3,000,000 shares of the authorized but unissued Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred”); (2) authorize the issuance of a maximum of 3,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred; (3) set the rights,


preferences, limitations, and other terms and conditions of the Series C Preferred; (4) delete and revoke the authorization of 3,436,069 shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (5) re-classify and re-designate 3,000,000 of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as shares of Series C Preferred with the rights, preferences, limitations and other terms and conditions described below (and in further detail in the Articles of Amendment); and (6) delete and revoke the authorization of 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Each share of the Series C Preferred will be entitled to one vote per share and will vote together with the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and not as a separate class, except as otherwise required by law and except that:

 

   

The Series C Preferred as a class will be entitled to elect one member of the Company’s Board of Directors (but only if Daniel M. O’Donnell is not then serving as a director of the Company or as its Chief Executive Officer); and

 

   

So long as any shares of Series C Preferred are outstanding, the Company will not, without the written consent of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred, either directly or indirectly (by amendment, merger, consolidation, or otherwise):

 

   

create or authorize the creation of or issue any other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security, having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on parity with the Series C Preferred, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series C Preferred, or

 

   

increase or decrease the size of the Board of Directors, except to set the number of members of the Board of Directors at five.

The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased with the approval of a majority of the Company’s Preferred and Common Stock, voting together as a single class, and without a separate class vote by the Common Stock.

Each share of the Series C Preferred will be entitled to receive a 10% annual cumulative dividend, compounded annually. These dividends will be payable only upon a liquidation or redemption. For any other dividends or distributions, the Series C Preferred will participate with the Common Stock.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the proceeds shall be paid first to the holders of the Series C Preferred in an amount equal to the original purchase price of each share of Series C Preferred plus any accrued dividends on each share of Series C Preferred. Thereafter, the Series C Preferred will participate with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

The Series C Preferred will be convertible, at any time at the option of the holders of such shares, into shares of Common Stock on a 3:1 ratio, subject to adjustments for any stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events.


Holders of the Series C Preferred will have a pro rata right, based on their percentage equity ownership in the Company (assuming the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options outstanding under the Company’s stock plans), to participate in subsequent issuances of equity securities of the Company.

The description set forth herein of the Articles of Amendment and of the rights, preferences, limitations, and other terms and conditions of the Series C Preferred does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles of Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by this reference. The Articles of Amendment have been included to provide information regarding their terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. Such information can be found in other public filings the Company makes with the SEC, which are available without charge at www.sec.gov.
