Amendment to Letter of Credit

Exhibit 10.1

Dallas, Texas 75287 
 

	 	Re:	 	Letter of Credit Security Commitment Agreement dated September 18, 2001 by and between Internet America, Inc. and William O. Hunt (the “Hunt Agreement”)

 
Dear Bill:

 
As you are aware, Internet America has been in
discussions with Cindy Carradine regarding settlement of the judgment rendered against Internet America and the other defendants in the lawsuit styled Cindy Carradine v. Internet America, Inc., Michael T. Maples and William O. Hunt. If the
defendants enter into a settlement agreement with Carradine (a “Settlement Agreement”), certain amendments to the Hunt Agreement may be necessary or desirable. This letter is intended to amend the Hunt Agreement in accordance with Section
13.6 of the Hunt Agreement. 
 
If the defendants
enter into a Settlement Agreement with Carradine, you agree to waive Internet America’s obligation to give you thirty days prior written notice of a reduction in commitment, as contained in Section 2.3 of the Hunt Agreement. You agree to allow
Internet America to give you written notice of a reduction in commitment at the time of a Settlement Agreement. Should this occur, the Holder’s Election Notice, as defined in Section 2.3 of the Hunt Agreement, must be given within 120 days
after the date of the Settlement Agreement, and Internet America will continue to pay you the commitment fee referenced in Section 2.2 of the Hunt Agreement until thirty days after the date of the Settlement Agreement or until the Commitment
Termination Date, as defined in Article 1 of the Hunt Agreement, whichever is later. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Commitment Termination Date occur after thirty days after the date of a Settlement Agreement, then the Holder’s
Election Notice must be given within 90 days after the Commitment Termination Date. 
 
If you agree to this amendment to the Hunt Agreement, please sign below and return the executed original to me at your earliest convenience

COMPROMISE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND MUTUAL RELEASE

 
THIS COMPROMISE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND
MUTUAL RELEASE (this Agreement) is entered into by and among PLAINTIFF CINDY BEASLEY CARRADINE (CARRADINE), ERIC CALHOUN (CALHOUN), INTERNET AMERICA, INC. (INTERNET AMERICA), WILLIAM O. HUNT, individually and on behalf of BCG Partnership Ltd.
(HUNT), and MICHAEL T. MAPLES (MAPLES) (INTERNET AMERICA, HUNT, AND MAPLES will be collectively referred to as DEFENDANTS). Each of the signatory parties to this Agreement will be referred to as a “Party,” and all of the signatory parties
to this Agreement will be referred to collectively as the “Parties.” 

RECITALS 
 
Carradine has asserted claims against Internet America, Hunt, and Maples based upon the alleged facts and
circumstances set forth in Carradine’s Original Petition and as amended (collectively, the Petition), which were filed in the above-referenced lawsuit in the 160th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas (the Trial Court), Cause No. 99-08893-H (the Lawsuit). Defendants asserted counterclaims in the Lawsuit (the
Counterclaims). 
 
John Mark Carradine,
Carradine’s former spouse, has asserted some interest in Carradine’s claims in the Lawsuit. Calhoun represented Carradine in the Lawsuit and the Appeal and has a contingent fee agreement with Carradine. Other than her fee agreement with
Calhoun, Carradine has not encumbered or assigned any of her claims. 
 
Carradine obtained a Final Judgment against Internet America, Hunt, and Maples, which Final Judgment was dated July 10, 2001. 
 
Defendants filed a Supersedeas Bond, which was approved by the clerk on October 3, 2001. 
 
On October 5, 2001, Defendants filed a Notice of Appeal to
appeal the Final Judgment to the Dallas Court of Appeals in case no. 05-01-01577-CV, and on October 18, 2001, Carradine filed her Cross Notice of Appeal. All issues raised by any party in the Court of Appeals shall be referred to as the Appeal.

 
Bona fide disputes and controversies exist
between the Parties, as to liability, if any, and damages, if any, and the Parties desire to compromise and settle all of the disputes, claims, and/or causes of action between and/or among them that they have, or may have, arising out of the facts
and circumstances set out in the Lawsuit, Counterclaims and the Appeal, the papers filed in the Lawsuit, Counterclaims and the Appeal, or otherwise arising out of or related to the Lawsuit, Counterclaims and the Appeal, including without limitation
the Supersedeas Bond, and intend that the full terms and conditions of their agreement be set forth in this Agreement. 
 
The Parties specifically intend to reach a full and final settlement of any and all matters and any and all causes of action, past,
present, and future, between them and among them arising out of the facts, circumstances, and claims as set forth above. 
 
In consideration of the mutual promises and agreements herein contained, including the recitals set forth above, the Parties agree as
follows: 

1. PAYMENT OF SETTLEMENT FUNDS 
 
At closing and upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, signed by all parties, Internet America shall
deliver and pay the total nonrefundable and irrevocable amount of $3,250,000.00 (Settlement Payment) in good and valid presently available United States dollars in the form of a certified check made payable to Cindy Carradine and Eric Calhoun, which
payment shall be delivered to counsel for Carradine, Eric Calhoun, at said closing. 
 
At closing of this Agreement, Internet America shall issue a Form 1099-MISC that reports the Settlement Payment as “other income” to Carradine, and Internet America shall file such Form
1099-MISC consistent with applicable laws. Together with this Agreement, Internet America shall supply copies of the Form 1099-MISC to Carradine by delivering same to her counsel, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C.” The Form

NO. 05-01-01577-CV 
 

 
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS 
FOR THE FIFTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS 
 

 
INTERNET AMERICA, INC., MICHAEL T. MAPLES, and 
WILLIAM
O. HUNT 
 
Appellants/Cross-Appellees

 
v. 
 
CINDY CARRADINE 
 
Appellee/Cross-Appellant 
 

 
AGREED, JOINT MOTION FOR DISPOSITION 
PURSUANT
TO SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 
 

 
Appeal from the 160th District Court, Dallas County 
 

 
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS: 
 
I. 
 
The parties have settled this case. As a part of the settlement agreement, the parties agreed to seek relief in this Court under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2), which authorizes disposition of an appeal in accordance
with an agreement of the parties. The parties have conferred and have agreed to this joint motion, and no party opposes the relief jointly requested in this motion.

II.

 
Counsel for all parties to this appeal have
signed this motion with the intent that 
 
it 
 
serve as their agreement under Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2). As
evidenced by the signatures of their attorneys, the parties have agreed to request, and do request, that this Court render a judgment that effectuates their settlement by: 
 

	 	(i)	 	vacating and/or setting aside the trial court’s final judgment signed on July 10, 2001 in Cause No. DV 99-08893-H (See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2);

 

	 	(ii)	 	releasing and discharging the sureties on the supersedeas bond posted by Appellants Internet America, Inc., Michael T. Maples, and William O. Hunt in Cause No. DV
99-08893-H (See Tex. R. App. 43.6); 

 

	 	(iii)	 	dismissing the case (See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2); 

 

	 	(iv)	 	ordering that all attorneys’ fees and costs in the trial court and on appeal shall be borne by the party or parties incurring same (See Tex. R. App.
43.6); and 

 

	 	(v)	 	ordering that this Court’s mandate shall issue immediately (See Tex. R. App. 43.6). 

 
The parties believe that Court has the jurisdiction, power,
and authority to render such a judgment under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2)(A). If the Court disagrees, the parties request, strictly in the alternative, that the Court effectuate their settlement by issuing a judgment or order that:

 

	 	(i)	 	vacates and/or sets aside the trial court’s final judgment signed on July 10, 2001 in Cause No. DV 99-08893-H; 

 

	 	(ii)	 	orders that all attorneys’ fees and costs on appeal shall be borne by the party or parties incurring same; 

 

	 	(ii)	 	remands the case to the trial court with instructions to: 

 

2 

 

	 	(a)	 	sign an agreed order to be submitted by the parties that dismisses the case with prejudice and orders that all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the trial
court be borne by the party or parties incurring same; and 

 

	 	(b)	 	sign an agreed order to be submitted by the parties that releases and discharges the sureties on the supersedeas bond posted by Appellants Internet America, Inc.,
Michael T. Maples, and William O. Hunt in Cause No. DV 99-08893-H. 

 
See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). 
 
 
PRAYER 
 
WHEREFORE, Appellants/Cross-Appellees Internet America, Inc.,
Michael T. Maples, and William O. Hunt and Appellee/Cross-Appellant Cindy Carradine request that this Court award the relief requested in Paragraph II above and any other relief to which the parties are justly entitled.
