Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain
letter agreement dated November 21, 2008, as amended on
November 25, 2008 (the “Waiver Letter”), among
Banks.com, Inc. (fka Intersearch Group, Inc. and referred to as the
“Company”), CapitalSouth Partners Fund I Limited
Partnership (“CapitalSouth I”), CapitalSouth Partners
Fund II Limited Partnership (“CapitalSouth II”) and
Harbert Mezzanine Partners II SBIC, L.P. (“Harbert”
and, together with CapitalSouth I, CapitalSouth II, collectively
the “Lenders”). Capitalized terms used herein
without definition shall have the meaning given to them in the
Investment Agreement (as defined below) and the Waiver
Letter. For purposes of this letter, the Company and the
Lenders may be referred to collectively as the
“Parties.”
Pursuant to the terms and conditions
contained in the Waiver Letter, the Lenders agreed to waive certain
Specified Events of Default as defined by that certain Investment
Agreement dated July 21, 2006, as amended (the
“Investment Agreement”) by and between the
Parties. By its stated terms, the Waiver Letter expired on
April 1, 2009. Prior to the expiration, the Parties
agreed to extend the Waiver Period to April 30, 2009, and
subsequently, the Parties agreed to extend the Waiver Period
through 5:00 P.M EST on May 8, 2009.
The Company agrees and acknowledges
that as of May 11, 2009, it is out of compliance with the
covenants under the Investment Agreement that were the basis for
the Specified Events of Default. Accordingly, subject to the
terms and conditions of this letter agreement, that it will extend
the March 31, 2009 “Specified Period” as set
forth in the Waiver Letter through June 29, 2009.
It is understood (and by executing
this letter in the space indicated below, the Company acknowledges)
that the foregoing extension relates only to the period beginning
March 31, 2009 and ending June 29, 2009 and shall expire
as of June 29, 2009 and shall not apply to any breach of any
covenant, warranty or other undertaking of the Company under the
Investment Agreement other than the
Specified Events of Default for the Specified
Periods as defined in the Waiver Letter. The Company further
acknowledges that, except as expressly provided above, each and
every term and condition of the Investment Agreement and each
Investment Document remains unchanged and in full force and
effect. Accordingly, any breach of any covenant, warranty or
undertaking of the Company under the Investment Agreement (other
than in respect of the Specified Events of Default for the
Specified Periods) shall constitute an Event of Default entitling
the Lenders to exercise any and all remedies under the Investment
Documents.
As an inducement to
obtain the extension provided for herein, the Company agrees to
make the following additional principal payments to the Lenders as
follows: (i) on or prior to May 15, 2009, one
(1) additional Principal Payment to the Lenders in the total
amount of One Hundred Nine Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Five
Dollars and 00
/
100
Cents ($109, 375),
(ii) on or prior to June 15, 2009, one
(1) additional Principal Payment to the Lenders in the total
amount of One Hundred Nine Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Five
Dollars and 00
/
100
Cents ($109, 375),
and (iii) on or prior to September 30, 2009, one
(1) additional principal payment of One Hundred Forty Five
Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Three Dollars and
00
/
100
Cents ($145,833.00).
In addition, the Company represents and warrants to the Lenders
that, after giving effect to the Extension provided for herein,
(i) each of the representations and warranties of the Borrower
contained in the Investment Agreement and in the other Investment
Documents is true and correct on and as of the date hereof with the
same effect as if made on and as of the date hereof (except to the
extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to
have been made as of a specified date, in which case such
representation or warranty is true and correct as of such date),
and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.
The Lenders understand that the
Company is negotiating with Silicon Valley Bank with respect to the
establishment of a new senior credit facility. As an additional
condition to the effectiveness of this Waiver, the Company agrees
(by countersigning in the space provided below) that the terms of
any such facility shall be subject to the prior written approval of
the Lenders, and that any failure by the Company to obtain such
consent prior to obtaining such facility shall constitute an
additional Event of Default.
This letter may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same instrument.
If you are in agreement with the
terms of this letter, please indicate your acceptance by signing
below.
