Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
WebMediaBrands Inc. (f/k/a Jupitermedia Corporation) (the
Company
) entered into (a) a First Amendment to ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of
February 23, 2009 (the
Swap Amendment
), with respect to that certain ISDA Master Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2007, including the Schedule and Confirmation, both dated as of July 19, 2007, by and between KeyBank
National Association (
KeyBank
) and the Company (the
Original Swap Agreement
and, together with the Swap Amendment, the
Swap Agreement
) and (b) the Credit Support Agreement, dated as of
February 23, 2009, by and among Alan M. Meckler (
Mr. Meckler
), Ellen L. Meckler (
Mrs. Meckler
) and the Company (the
Credit Support Agreement
).
The Company entered into the Original Swap Agreement in connection with the Credit Agreement (as defined and described in more detail under Item 1.02 below) in
order to hedge its exposure against interest rate fluctuations. The Company makes quarterly payments that are calculated on a net basis and based on the notional amount under the Swap Agreement (with the notional amount amortizing over time.
Terminating the Original Swap Agreement concurrently with the termination of the Credit Agreement would have required that the Company pay a substantial cash termination fee. As a result, the Company opted to amend the Original Swap Agreement
pursuant to the terms of the Swap Amendment (as described herein).
Pursuant to the Swap Amendment, (i) the Company and KeyBank agreed to enter into
the Security Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2009 (the
Security Agreement
), the First Amendment to Intellectual Property Security Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2009 (the
Jupitermedia IP Security
Agreement Amendment
), with respect to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2007, by and between the Company and KeyBank (as amended, the
Jupitermedia IP Security Agreement
) and the
First Amendment to Pledge Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2009 (the
Pledge Agreement Amendment
), with respect to the Pledge Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2007, by and between the Company and KeyBank (as amended,
the
Pledge Agreement
, and together with the Security Agreement and the Jupitermedia IP Security Agreement, the
Jupitermedia Security Agreements
) to evidence KeyBanks continuing security interest in certain
of the Companys assets (after giving effect to the sale of Jupiterimages Corporation (
Jupiterimages
)) and to continue to secure the Companys obligations under the Swap Agreement, and (ii) Mediabistro.com Inc.
(
Mediabistro
), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and KeyBank agreed to enter into the First Amendment to Security Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2009 (the
Mediabistro Security Agreement
Amendment
), with respect to the Security Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2007, by and between Mediabistro and KeyBank (as amended, the
Mediabistro Security Agreement
) and the First Amendment to Intellectual Property
Security Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2009 (the
Mediabistro IP Security Agreement Amendment
), with respect to the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2007, by and between Mediabistro and
KeyBank (as amended, the
Mediabistro IP Security Agreement
, and together with the Mediabistro Security Agreement, the
Mediabistro Security Agreements
, and together with the Jupitermedia Security Agreements, the
Swap Security Agreements
) to evidence KeyBanks continuing security interest in Mediabistros assets and to continue to secure the Companys obligations under the Swap Agreement. Under the Swap Amendment, a
termination or event of default under any of the Swap Security Agreements would entitle KeyBank to terminate the Swap Agreement.
The Company also entered into (i) the Blocked Account Pledge and Control Agreement (the
Blocked Account Pledge and Control Agreement
), dated as
of February 23, 2009, by and between the Company and Keybank as both lender and depositary to secure the Outstanding Letter of Credit and (ii) the Letter of Credit Reimbursement and Security Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2009,
by and between the Company and KeyBank (the
Letter of Credit Reimbursement and Security Agreement
and together with the Blocked Account Pledge and Control Agreement, the
Letter of Credit Agreements
) in
connection with the Outstanding Letter of Credit (as defined and described in more detail under Item 1.02 below).
In connection with the Credit
Support Agreement, Mr. Meckler agreed to personally guarantee the Companys obligations under the Swap Agreement and Mrs. Meckler has agreed to grant a security interest to KeyBank in respect of certain of her assets to support
Mr. Mecklers personal guarantee to KeyBank. In exchange for Mr. Mecklers personal guarantee to KeyBank and Mrs. Mecklers grant of a security interest to KeyBank, the Company has agreed pursuant to the Credit Support
Agreement to, among other things, pay certain cash consideration to Mr. Meckler and Mrs. Meckler on a monthly basis. The amount of the cash consideration is equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of one percent (1%) of the notional amount
of the Swap Agreement, which notional amount is initially $49,250,000 and will decrease by $125,000 at the beginning of each fiscal quarter commencing on March 31, 2009. In addition, in certain circumstances, Mr. Meckler may have the right
to assume KeyBanks interests in the Swap Agreement and the Swap Security Agreements and, in the event that Mr. Meckler or Mrs. Meckler is required to satisfy the Companys obligations under the Swap Agreement, Mr. Meckler
and Mrs. Meckler will be subrogated to KeyBanks rights against the Company under the Swap Agreement and the Swap Security Agreements. The Credit Support Agreement was approved by all of the independent members of the Companys Board
of Directors, each of whom also has no direct or indirect interest in the Credit Support Agreement (the
Disinterested Directors
), following Mr. Mecklers disclosure to such Disinterested Directors of the terms of the
Credit Support Agreement.
The description of the transactions described in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by the terms of the Swap Amendment, the Original Swap Agreement, the Credit Support Agreement, the Swap Security Agreements and the Letter of Credit Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.14, respectively.

detail under Item 1.01 above) and (b) the Swap Agreement (as described in more detail under Item 1.01 above), which has been secured by the Swap Security Agreements.
As amended by Amendment No. 1, the Credit Agreement provided for a $99.25 million senior credit facility,
comprised of a $74.25 million term loan facility and a $25 million revolving credit facility which included a $2 million sublimit for letters of credit and a $3.125 million swingline facility. The Credit Agreement required the repayment by the
Company of outstanding principal of the term loan in 24 consecutive quarterly installments of (i) $187,500, in the case of each of the first 23 installments, on the last day of each March, June, September and December commencing on
September 30, 2007 and ending on March 31, 2013 and (ii) the balance thereof payable in full, in case of the of the 24
th
installment
due on July 11, 2013. The revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement was scheduled to terminate on July 11, 2012 at which time outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility would have been due.
The description of the Credit Agreement contained herein, as amended by Amendment No. 1, is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Credit Agreement and
Amendment No. 1, copies of which have previously been filed as Exhibits 10.1 of the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
) on July 18, 2007 and October 14, 2008,
respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement, the guarantees delivered by
Jupiterimages, I-Venture Management LLC and Workbook, Inc. (collectively, the
Guarantors
) pursuant to separate Guaranty of Payment Agreements dated July 12, 2007, which each of Jupiterimages, I-Venture Management LLC and
Workbook, Inc. entered into with the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (the

and representations and warranties made by Getty Images to the Company as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Stock Purchase Agreement and are subject to
qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and information contained in confidential disclosure schedules exchanged by the parties in connection with negotiating
the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Certain representations and warranties made in the Stock Purchase Agreement as of a specified date also may be subject to contractual standards of materiality different from those generally applicable to
