Rundell (hereinafter referred to as "Payee"), the principal sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00). The principal of and interest on this Note shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United States of America, to C.A. Rundell, Chase Bank Tower, 2200 Ross Avenue, Suite 4660 W, Dallas, Texas 75201. All correspondence and notices should be mailed to the above address, or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate by written notice to Maker. 1. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance due under this Note at an annual rate equal to eight percent (9%). Interest shall accrue from and including the date of this Note until, but not including, the day on which it is paid in full. In no event shall the interest charged hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed from time to time by law. Interest shall be due at maturity. 2. Payment of Note. The principal balance of, and all accrued unpaid interest on, this Note shall be due and payable one hundred twenty (120) days from the date hereof or upon the receipt of payment in full from Horne Engineering on B&B invoice # 52925, whichever comes first, except as otherwise provided herein. ("Maturity Date"). 3. Prepayment. This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, at the option of Maker, without premium or penalty. 4. Default, Enforcement. Upon default in payment of this Note, Payee may pursue any and all rights and remedies to which Payee may be entitled under applicable law. 5. Limitation of Interest. All agreements between Maker and Payee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof, acceleration of the maturity of the unpaid principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the amount contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money evidenced by this Note or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other document pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable usury laws. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any other agreement shall, at the time fulfillment of such provision be due, involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if from any circumstance the holder hereof shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the maximum lawful rate, any amount equal to any excessive interest shall (a) be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment of interest, or (b) if such excess interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance of this Note, such excess shall be refunded to Maker. All sums contracted for, charged or received hereunder for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of this Note until payment in full so that the rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout the term hereof. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other provision of all agreements between Maker and the holder hereof. 6. Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Maker waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of nonpayment or dishonor, grace, protest, notice of protest, all other notices, and any and all diligence or delay in collection or the filing of suit hereon. 7. Governing Law and Venue. This Note shall be construed according to and governed by the laws of the State of Texas. The obligations of Maker under this Note are performable in Dallas County, Texas. 8.

Unenforceability. The invalidity, or unenforceability in particular circumstances, of any provision of this Note shall not extend beyond such provision or such circumstances, and no other provision of this Note shall be affected thereby. 13.
