This Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended, and each of the Loan Documents (and amendments, restatements and substitutions therefore in connection with this Amendment) hereby, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of each of the Mission Entities, enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by equitable principles of general applicability.

 

(c) No Default.  No Default has occurred and is continuing, and no Default will result from the execution, delivery and performance by the Mission Entities of this Amendment, the other Loan Documents or from the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

On the date hereof, none of the Mission Entities possess any material information with respect to the operations, business, assets, properties, liabilities (actual or contingent) or financial condition of the Mission Entities taken as a whole as to which the Lenders do not have access.

 

  

  

  

 

§5. No Other Amendments, etc.  Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, (a) all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as amended and restated in connection herewith, if applicable) remain unchanged, and (b) all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and of the other Loan Documents (as amended and restated in connection herewith, if applicable) are hereby ratified and confirmed and remain in full force and effect.  Nothing herein shall be construed to be an amendment, consent or a waiver of any requirements of any Mission Entity or of any other Person under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or pursuant to a written agreement executed in connection herewith.  Nothing in this Amendment shall be construed to imply any willingness on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to grant any similar or future amendment, consent or waiver of any of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

§6. Execution in Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  In proving this Amendment, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

 

§7. Interpretation.  This Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiation among, and have been reviewed by counsel to, among others, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and are the product of discussions and negotiations among all parties.  Accordingly, this Amendment, Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are not intended to be construed against the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders merely on account of the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's involvement in the preparation of such documents.

 

§8. Loan Document.  This Amendment is a Loan Document under the terms of the Credit Agreement, and any breach of any provision of this Amendment shall be a Default under the Credit Agreement (as applicable).

 

§9. Miscellaneous.  This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state; provided that the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall retain all rights arising under Federal Law.  The captions in this Amendment are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand by the Administrative Agent, all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred or sustained by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Amendment, including reasonable legal fees in accordance with Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Amendment is subject to the terms of the 2010 Intercreditor Agreement.

Happy H. Wells

 

Dear Mr. Wells:

 

On behalf of Georgetown
Corporation (the “Company”), I would like to invite you to join the Company’s Board of Directors on the terms
set forth below.  I believe that your knowledge and experience will be an invaluable addition to the Company.

 

Stock Grant –
Georgetown will grant you 500,000 shares subject to a voluntary management lock up agreement. In addition, the Shareholders may
only resell the shares of Common Stock in accordance with Rule 144 so long as the Company is current in its reporting requirements
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

You are being added
to the Board of Directors as Director whose term shall expire at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, unless
reelected as a director by the shareholders of the Company at that time.   We plan on having at least monthly Board
meetings, some of which will be in person and others to be telephonic.  All of your travel and accommodation expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with in-person Board meetings will be reimbursed by the Company.

 

The Company does not
yet have Directors and Officers liability insurance but intends to attempt to get such insurance as soon as it is reasonably and
commercially able to do so.

 

Attached for your
review, please find an Indemnification Agreement with the Company and copies of the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, Code
of Ethics and Business Conduct, and Related Party Transaction Policy, which as a director of the Company you will be subject to.  As
the Company is publicly traded, you will also be subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”) which requires, among other things, you to file Forms 3, 4 and 5s and comply with the short-swing profit
rules – attached is a brief memo that discusses such rules.  Please do not hesitate to contact me or our General
Counsel, Peter Campitiello, if you have any questions.

 

You acknowledge that
you (a) understand the requirements of and the general terms under which you will serve as a director of the Company, (b) understand
that as a director you will have a fiduciary duty to the Company and agree that you will at all times act in the Company’s
best interests while acting in your capacity as a director of the Company, (c) will do your best to attend Board meetings and
any meetings of committees of which you are then a member, (d) have read and will adhere to the Company’s Insider Trading
Policy, Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, and Related Party Transaction Policy, (e) will comply with all applicable state and
federal laws and regulations, including Sections 10 and 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, (f) will
act in accordance with the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-Laws, as both may
be amended from time to time, and the corporate law of the State of Delaware, (g) agree to hold all information and Board materials
supplied to you regarding the Company in the strictest confidence and to not disclose such information or materials to any third
party or use such information or materials other than in your capacity as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, and
(h) have no agreement which would be violated by your service as a director of the Company and you agree not to enter into any
agreement while you are a director that creates a conflict of interest with this letter agreement.
