      as Lender may designate, the principal sum of One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand
      and No/100 Dollars ($125,000.00), in lawful currency of the United States of
      America, together with interest accrued monthly thereon at a rate of eleven

      promissory note (“Note”)
      is
      paid in full.

     

    1.  Maturity.
      This
      Note together with all accrued but unpaid interest on the outstanding principal

      may at its sole option prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note
      before maturity without penalty or premium, together with all accrued but unpaid
      interest on the principal prepaid. 

     

    3.  Events
      of Default and Remedies.
      At the
      option of Lender the entire principal balance of this Note, together with all

      is

      to time in effect affecting the rights of creditors generally.

     

    In

      happened, the holder of this Note may (y) enforce its rights, if any, under
      this
      Note and (z) proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity
      and by action at law, or by other appropriate proceedings, whether for the
      specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Note or
      in
      aid of the exercise of any power or right granted by this Note, or to enforce
      any other legal and equitable right of the holder of this Note.

    4.  Cumulative
      Rights.
      No
      delay on the part of the holder of this Note in the exercise of any power or
      right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single
      or
      partial exercise of any other power or right. 

     

    5.  Notices.
      Any
      notice or demand given hereunder by the holder hereof shall be deemed to have
      been given and received (i) when actually received by Debtor, if delivered
      in
      person or by facsimile transmission, or (ii) if mailed, on the earlier of the
      date actually received or (whether received or not) three (3) Business Days
      (as
      hereinafter defined) after a letter containing such notice, certified or
      registered, with postage prepaid, addressed to Debtor, is deposited in the
      United States mail. Debtor’s mailing address for purposes of this Section 5 is
      Three Riverway, Suite 1050

     

    Houston,
      Texas 77056, or such other address as Debtor shall advise the holder hereof
      by
      certified or registered letter by this same procedure. “Business
      Day”
means
      every day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

     

    6.  Choice
      of Law, Venue and Forum.
      This
      Note, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between
      the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall
      be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the
      laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to its choice of laws
      principles. Exclusive venue for any litigation between the parties hereto shall
      be in Harris County, Texas, and shall be brought in the State District Courts
      of
      Harris County, Texas, or in the United States District Court for the Southern
      District of Texas, Houston Division. The parties hereto waive any challenge
      to
      personal jurisdiction or venue (including without limitation a challenge based
      on inconvenience) in Harris County, Texas, and specifically consent to the
      jurisdiction of the State District Courts of Harris County and the United States
      District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston
      Division.

     

    7.  Usury
      Savings Clause.
      Any
      provision in this Note or in any other document executed in connection herewith,
      or in any other agreement or commitment, whether written or oral, express or
      implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender shall not in any event be
      entitled to receive or collect, nor shall or may amounts received hereunder
      be
      credited, so that Lender shall be paid, as interest, a sum greater than the
      maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law. If any construction of
      this Note, or any and all other papers, agreements or commitments, indicates
      a
      different right given to Lender to ask for, demand or receive any larger sum
      as
      interest, such is a mistake in calculation or wording, which this clause shall
      override and control; it being the intention of the parties that this Note
      and
      all other instruments relating to this Note shall in all things comply with
      applicable law, and proper adjustment shall automatically be made accordingly.
      In the event Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest, any sum
      in
      excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law, such excess
      amount shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of
      this
      Note in the inverse order of maturity, and if this Note is paid in full, any
      remaining excess shall be paid to Debtor. In determining whether or not the
      interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the maximum
      rate of interest permitted by applicable law, Debtor and Lender shall, to the
      maximum extent permitted under applicable law (a) characterize any nonprincipal
      payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude
      voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) “spread” the total amount
      of interest throughout the entire term of this Note so that the interest rate
      is
      uniform throughout the entire term hereof.

    8.  Modification.
      None of
      the terms or provisions of this Note may be excluded, modified or amended except
      by a written instrument duly executed on behalf of Debtor and Lender expressly
      referring to this Note and setting forth the provision so excluded, modified,
      or
      amended. 

     

    9.  Headings.
      The
      headings of the sections of this Note are inserted for convenience only and
      shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

     

    10.  Waiver.
      Debtor
      expressly waives any presentment, demand, protest or notice in connection with
      this Note, now or hereafter, required by applicable law.

     

    11.  Collection
      Costs.
      Debtor
      agrees to pay the fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of an attorney,
      of Lender in connection with any action for collection, payment or compromise
      of
      this Note.

     

    12.  Counterparts.
       This Note may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall
      constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages to any counterpart may
      be
      detached, executed and attached to a single counterpart with the same force
      and
      effect as if all parties had executed a single signature page
      hereof.

    FOR

    1.  Payment.
      Subject
      to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, all accrued but unpaid interest on the
      outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable on May

    (b)  For
      the
      period beginning February 9, 2007 and ending on the Maturity Date, at rate

    (c)  To
      the
      extent permitted by applicable law, Lender at its option may either

      per
      diem interest rate or amount each day, or (ii) calculate the per diem
      interest rate or amount as if each year has only 360 days, and charge that
      per diem interest rate or amount each day for the actual number of days of

      year (365 or 366 as the case may be).
