(e)                                  Compliance with Laws.  Debtor will comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

8.                                       Financial Covenants.  Until all Indebtedness of Debtor under the Loan Documents is indefeasibly paid or satisfied and Lender has no further commitment to lend under the Credit Facility, Debtor agrees and covenants that it will, unless Lender shall otherwise consent in writing:

12

aggregate) if uninsured, undischarged, unbonded or undismissed on the date on which such judgment could be executed upon.

(g)                                 Action Against Collateral.  The Collateral or any portion thereof is taken on execution or other process of law in any action.

(h)                                 Action of Lien Holder.  The holder of any lien or security interest the Collateral (without hereby implying the consent of Lender to the existence or creation of any such lien or security interest on the Collateral), declares a default thereunder or institutes foreclosure or other proceedings for the enforcement of its remedies thereunder.

(i)                                     Material Adverse Effect.  Any event shall have occurred or is continuing which shall have had a Material Adverse Effect.

(j)                                     Loan Documents.  The Loan Documents shall at any time after their execution and delivery and for any reason cease (i) to create a valid and perfected first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) in and to the Collateral; or (ii) to be in full force and effect or shall be declared null and void.  The validity of enforceability the Loan Documents shall be contested by Debtor or any other Person party thereto or Debtor shall deny it has any further liability or obligation under the Loan Documents.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the events of default enumerated in any of the other Loan Documents and all such events of default shall be cumulative.

12.                                 Remedies and Related Rights.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred, and without limiting any other rights and remedies provided herein, under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise available to Lender, Lender may exercise one or more of the rights and remedies provided in this Section.

(a)                                  Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default, (i) the entire unpaid balance of principal of the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other Indebtedness owing to Lender by Debtor at such time shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Debtor, and (ii) Lender may, at its option, cease further advances under the Note and this Agreement; provided, however, concurrently and automatically with the occurrence of an Event of Default under Subsection 11(e) further advances under the Loan Documents shall automatically cease, the Indebtedness at such time shall, without any action by Lender, become due and payable, without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Debtor.  All rights and remedies of Lender set forth in this Agreement and in any of the other Loan Documents may also be exercised by Lender, at its option to be exercised in its sole discretion, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and not in substitution or diminution of any rights now or hereafter held by Lender under the terms of any other agreement.

(b)                                 Other Remedies.  Lender may from time to time at its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents:

(i)                                     Exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral);

(ii)                                  Require Debtor to, and Debtor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Lender, assemble the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(iii)                               Reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest granted hereunder by any available judicial procedure;

13

(iv)                              Sell or otherwise dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Debtor or elsewhere, the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Lender’s power of sale, but sales or other dispositions may be made from time to time until all of the Collateral has been sold or disposed of or until the Indebtedness has been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale or other disposition it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;

(v)                                 Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any public sale;

(vi)                              Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations;

(vii)                           Apply for the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, and Debtor hereby consents to any such appointment; and

(viii)                        At its option, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Indebtedness whenever the circumstances are such that Lender is entitled to do so under the Code or otherwise.

Debtor agrees that in the event Debtor is entitled to receive any notice under the Code, as it exists in the state governing any such notice, of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, reasonable notice shall be deemed given when such notice is deposited in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, at Debtor’s address set forth on the signature page hereof, TEN (10) days prior to the date of any public sale, or after which a private sale, of any of such Collateral is to be held.  Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(c)                                  Application of Proceeds.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred, Lender may at its discretion apply or use any cash held by Lender as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral as follows in such order and manner as Lender may elect:

(i)                                     to the repayment or reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (1) the administration of the Loan Documents, (2) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, the Collateral, and (3) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder;

(ii)                                  to the payment or other satisfaction of any liens and other encumbrances upon the Collateral;

(iii)                               to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness;

(iv)                              by holding such cash and proceeds as Collateral;

(v)                                 to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law; and

(vi)                              by delivery to Debtor or any other party lawfully entitled to receive such cash or proceeds whether by direction of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.

(d)                                 License.  Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without charge, Debtor’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, customer lists and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing

14

production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral, and, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Debtor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit.  In addition, Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that Lender may, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, sell any of Debtor’s inventory directly to any Person, including without limitation Persons who have previously purchased Debtor’s inventory from Debtor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of Lender’s rights under this Agreement, may sell inventory which bears any trademark owned by or licensed to Debtor and any inventory that is covered by any copyright owned by or licensed to Debtor and Lender may finish any work in process and affix any trademark owned by or licensed to Debtor and sell such inventory as provided herein.

(e)                                  Deficiency.  In the event that the proceeds of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by Lender are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, Debtor (unless otherwise provided) shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents.

(f)                                    Non-Judicial Remedies.  In granting to Lender the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Debtor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Lender to enforce its rights by judicial process.  Debtor recognizes and concedes that non-judicial remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.  Nothing herein is intended to prevent Lender or Debtor from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option.

(g)                                 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

(h)                                 Equitable Relief.  Debtor recognizes that in the event Debtor fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Indebtedness, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender.  Debtor therefore agrees that Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

13.                                 Indemnity.  Debtor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Lender, and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (each an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature (collectively, the “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Person arising in connection with the Loan Documents, the Indebtedness or the Collateral (including without limitation, the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the defense of any Indemnified Person’s actions and/or inactions in connection with the Loan Documents).  WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITIES SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AND/OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON, EXCEPT TO THE LIMITED EXTENT THE CLAIMS AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON ARE PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.  If Debtor or any third party ever alleges such gross negligence or willful misconduct by any Indemnified Person, the indemnification provided for in this Section shall nonetheless be paid upon demand, subject to later adjustment or reimbursement, until such time as (a) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment as to the extent and effect of the alleged gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) Lender has expressly agrees in writing with Debtor that such Claim is proximately caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The indemnification provided for in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall extend and continue to benefit each individual or entity that is or has at any time been an Indemnified Person hereunder.

14.                                 Limitation of Liability.  Neither the Lender nor any officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Debtor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by

15

Debtor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  Debtor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Lender or any of the Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

15.                                 No Duty.  All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Debtor or any of Debtor’s equity holders or any other Person.

16.                                 Lender Not Fiduciary.  The relationship between Debtor and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Debtor, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Debtor and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

17.                                 Waiver and Agreement.  Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege herein or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  No waiver of any provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no departure by Debtor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing.  No modification or amendment to this Agreement or to any of the other Loan Documents shall be valid or effective unless the same is signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.

18.                                 Benefits.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and Debtor, and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that Debtor may not, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any rights, powers, duties or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

19.                                 Notices.  All notices, requests, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and given by (a) personal delivery, (b) expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or (c) United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, sent to the intended addressee at the address set forth on the signature page hereof and shall be deemed to have been received either, in the case of personal delivery, as of the time of personal delivery, in the case of expedited delivery service, as of the time of the expedited delivery and in the manner provided herein, or in the case of mail, upon the THIRD (3rd) day after deposit in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service.  Any party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by notice to the other party of such new address.

20.                                 Construction; Venue; Service of Process.  The Loan Documents have been executed and delivered in the State of Texas, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, and shall be performable by the parties hereto in the county in Texas where Lender’s address set forth on the signature page hereof is located (the “Venue Site”).  Any action or proceeding against Debtor under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court within the Venue Site.  Debtor hereby irrevocably (a) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and (b) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court or that any such court is an inconvenient forum.  Debtor agrees that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions this Agreement.  Nothing in any of the other Loan Documents shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lender to bring any action or proceeding against Debtor or with respect to any of its property in courts in other jurisdictions.  Any action or proceeding by Debtor against Lender shall be brought only in a court located in the Venue Site.

Exhibit 10.2

SOVEREIGN BANK — LOAN NO. 17003864

AMENDED AND RESTATED

PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TGC INDUSTRIES, INC., a Texas corporation (“Debtor”) unconditionally promises to pay to the order of SOVEREIGN BANK, a Texas state bank (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”), without setoff, at its offices at 6060 Sherry Lane, Dallas (Dallas County), TX 75225, or at such other place as may be designated by Lender, the principal amount of FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced from time to time in immediately available funds, together with interest computed daily on the outstanding principal balance hereunder, at an annual interest rate (the “Rate”), and in accordance with the payment schedule, indicated below.  This AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE (this “Note”) is executed pursuant to and evidences the Loans funded and to be funded by Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to that certain AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT between Debtor and Lender dated as of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, supplemented, renewed or extended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) to which reference is made for a statement of the collateral, rights and obligations of Debtor and Lender in relation thereto; but neither this reference to the Loan Agreement nor any provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of Debtor to pay unpaid principal of and interest on this Note when due.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Loan Agreement.

1.             Rate.  The Rate shall be the LESSER of: (a) the MAXIMUM RATE, or (b) the GREATER of (i) the PRIME RATE, or (ii) FIVE PERCENT (5.00%).  The term “Prime Rate” means a variable rate of interest per annum equal to the prime rate as published from time to time in the “Bonds, Rates & Yields” table of The Wall Street Journal.  If such prime rate, as so quoted, is split between two or more different interest rates, then the Prime Rate shall be the highest of such interest rates.  If the prime rate is no longer published in the “Bonds, Rates & Yields” table of The Wall Street Journal, then the Prime Rate shall be (i) the rate of interest per annum established from time to time by Lender and designated as its base or prime rate, which may not necessarily be the lowest rate charged by Lender and is set by Lender in its sole discretion, or (ii) if Lender does not publish or announce a base or prime rate, or does so infrequently or sporadically, then the Prime Rate shall be determined by reference to another base rate, prime rate, or similar lending rate index, generally accepted on a national basis, as selected by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Note or any other agreement or commitment between Debtor and Lender, whether written or oral, express or implied, Lender shall never be entitled to charge, receive, or collect, nor shall amounts received hereunder be credited so that Lender shall be paid, as interest a sum greater than interest at the Maximum Rate.  It is the intention of the parties that this Note, and all instruments securing the payment of this Note or executed or delivered in connection therewith, shall comply with applicable law.  If Lender ever contracts for, charges, receives or collects anything of value which is deemed to be interest under applicable law, and if the occurrence of any circumstance or contingency, whether acceleration of maturity of this Note, prepayment of this Note, delay in advancing proceeds of this Note, or any other event, should cause such interest to exceed the maximum lawful amount, any amount which exceeds interest at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or any other indebtedness owed to Lender by Debtor, and if this Note and such other indebtedness are paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Debtor.  In determining whether the interest exceeds interest at the Maximum Rate, the total amount of interest shall be spread, prorated and amortized throughout the entire term of this Note until its payment in full.  The term “Maximum Rate” as used in this Note means the maximum nonusurious rate of interest per annum permitted by whichever of applicable United States federal law or Texas law permits the higher interest rate, including to the extent permitted by applicable law, any amendments thereof hereafter or any new law hereafter coming into effect to the extent a higher Maximum Rate is permitted thereby.  If at any time the Rate shall exceed the Maximum Rate, the Rate shall be automatically limited to the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if there had been no limitation to the Maximum Rate.  To the extent, if any, that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended, (the “Act”) is relevant to Lender for purposes of determining the Maximum Rate, the parties elect to determine the Maximum Rate under the Act pursuant to the “weekly ceiling” from time to time in effect, as referred to and defined in §303.001-303.016 of the Act; subject,

1

however, to any right Lender subsequently may have under applicable law to change the method of determining the Maximum Rate.

2.             Accrual Method.    Interest on the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be computed on the basis of a THREE HUNDRED SIXTY (360) day year and shall accrue on the actual number of days elapsed for any whole or partial month in which interest is being calculated.  In computing the number of days during which interest accrues, the day on which funds are initially advanced shall be included regardless of the time of day such advance is made, and the day on which funds are repaid shall be included unless repayment is credited prior to the close of business on the Business Day received as provided herein.

3.             Rate Change Date.  The Rate will change unless otherwise provided each time and as of the date that the Prime Rate changes.

4.             Payment Schedule.  Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, all payments on this Note shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) the payment or reimbursement of any expenses, costs or obligations (other than the outstanding principal balance hereof and interest hereon) for which either Debtor shall be obligated or Lender shall be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Note or the other Loan Documents, (b) the payment of accrued but unpaid interest hereon, and (c) the payment of all or any portion of the principal balance hereof then outstanding hereunder, in the direct order of maturity.  If an Event of Default exists under any of the other Loan Documents, then Lender may, at the sole option of Lender, apply any such payments, at any time and from time to time, to any of the items specified in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above without regard to the order of priority otherwise specified herein and any application to the outstanding principal balance hereof may be made in either direct or inverse order of maturity.  If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.  The outstanding principal balance of this Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the acceleration of the Indebtedness pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; (ii) SEPTEMBER 16, 2010; or (iii) such other date as may be established by a written instrument between Debtor and Lender, from time to time (the “Maturity Date”).  Accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable monthly commencing on OCTOBER 16, 2009 and continuing on the SAME day of each calendar month thereafter (or if no such corresponding date, on the LAST date of such calendar month) and on the Maturity Date.  Debtor may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder at any time, up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any one time equal to the principal amount of this Note, provided that Debtor is not in default under any provision of this Note, any other documents executed in connection with this Note, or any other Loan Documents now or hereafter executed in connection with any other obligation of Debtor to Lender, and provided that the borrowings hereunder do not exceed any borrowing base or other limitation on borrowings by Debtor.  Lender shall incur no liability for its refusal to advance funds based upon its determination that any conditions of such further advances have not been met.  Lender’s records of the amounts borrowed from time to time and accrued and unpaid interest on such sum shall be conclusive proof thereof absent manifest error.  Lender and Debtor expressly agree that Chapter 346 (“Chapter 346”) of the Texas Finance Code shall not apply to this Note or to any advances under this Note and that neither this Note or any such advances shall be governed by or subject to the provisions of Chapter 346 in any manner whatsoever.

5.             Delinquency Charge.  To the extent permitted by law, a delinquency charge will be imposed in an amount not to exceed FIVE PERCENT (5.00%) of any payment that is more than TEN (10) days late.

6.             Waivers, Consents and Covenants.  Debtor, any endorser or guarantor hereof, or any other party hereto (individually an “Obligor” and collectively “Obligors”) and each of them jointly and severally: (a) waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of demand, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration of maturity, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, and any other notice required to be given under the law (except notices that cannot lawfully be waived) to any Obligor in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, any endorsement or guaranty of this Note, or any other documents executed in connection with this Note or any other Loan Documents now or hereafter executed in connection with any obligation of Debtor to Lender; and (b) agrees to pay, on demand, all costs and expenses of collection or defense of this Note or of any endorsement or guaranty hereof and/or the enforcement or defense of Lender’s rights with respect to, or the administration, supervision, preservation, or protection of, or realization upon, any property securing payment hereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including fees related to any suit, mediation or arbitration

2

proceeding, out of court payment agreement, trial, appeal, bankruptcy proceedings or other proceeding, in such amount as may be determined reasonable by any arbitrator or court, whichever is applicable.  Each Obligor other than Debtor (a) consents to all delays, extensions, renewals or other modifications of this Note or the Loan Documents, or waivers of any term hereof or of the Loan Documents, or release or discharge by Lender of any of Obligors, or release, substitution or exchange of any security for the payment hereof, or the failure to act on the part of Lender, or any indulgence shown by Lender (without notice to or further assent from any of Obligors); and (b) agrees that no such action, failure to act or failure to exercise any right or remedy by Lender shall in any way affect or impair the obligations of any Obligors or be construed as a waiver by Lender of, or otherwise affect, any of Lender’s rights under this Note, under any endorsement or guaranty of this Note or under any of the Loan Documents.

7.             Prepayments.  Prepayments may be made in whole or in part at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty.

8.             Remedies Upon Default.  Whenever there is an Event of Default under the Loan Documents (a) the entire balance outstanding hereunder and all other obligations of any Obligor to Lender (however acquired or evidenced) shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable and any obligation of Lender to permit further borrowing under this Note shall immediately cease and terminate, and/or (b) to the extent permitted by law, the Rate of interest on the unpaid principal shall be increased at Lender’s discretion up to the Maximum Rate, or if none, FIFTEEN PERCENT (15.00%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).  The provisions herein for a Default Rate shall not be deemed to extend the time for any payment hereunder or to constitute a “grace period” giving Obligors a right to cure any default.  At Lender’s option, any accrued and unpaid interest, fees or charges may, for purposes of computing and accruing interest on a daily basis after the due date of this Note or any installment thereof, be deemed to be a part of the principal balance, and interest shall accrue on a daily compounded basis after such date at the Default Rate provided in this Note until the entire outstanding balance of principal and interest is paid in full.  Upon an Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized at any time, at its option and without notice or demand, to set off and charge against any deposit accounts of any Obligor (as well as any money, instruments, securities, documents, chattel paper, credits, claims, demands, income and any other property, rights and interests of any Obligor), which at any time shall come into the possession or custody or under the control of Lender or any of its agents, affiliates or correspondents, any and all obligations due hereunder.  Additionally, Lender shall have all rights and remedies available under each of the Loan Documents, as well as all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

9.             Waiver.  The failure at any time of Lender to exercise any of its options or any other rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall it be a bar to the exercise of any of its options or rights at a later date.  All rights and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the option of Lender.  The acceptance by Lender of any partial payment shall not constitute a waiver of any default or of any of Lender’s rights under this Note.  No waiver of any of its rights hereunder, and no modification or amendment of this Note, shall be deemed to be made by Lender unless the same shall be in writing, duly signed on behalf of Lender; each such waiver shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and shall in no way impair the rights of Lender or the obligations of Obligors to Lender in any other respect at any other time.

10.          Applicable Law, Venue and Jurisdiction.  Debtor agrees that this Note shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Texas and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas and is performable in Dallas (Dallas County), Texas indicated at the beginning of this Note.  In any litigation in connection with or to enforce this Note or any endorsement or guaranty of this Note or any Loan Documents, Obligors, and each of them, irrevocably consent to and confer personal jurisdiction on the courts of the State of Texas or the United States courts located within Dallas (Dallas County), Texas.  Nothing contained herein shall, however, prevent Lender from bringing any action or exercising any rights within any other state or jurisdiction or from obtaining personal jurisdiction by any other means available under applicable law.

11.          Partial Invalidity.  The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Note or of the Loan Documents to any person or circumstance shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons or circumstances.

3

12.          Binding Effect.  This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Debtor, Obligors and Lender and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives, provided, however, that no obligations of Debtor or Obligors hereunder can be assigned without prior written consent of Lender.

13.          Controlling Document.  To the extent that this Note conflicts with or is in any way incompatible with any other document related specifically to the loan evidenced by this Note, this Note shall control over any other such document, and if this Note does not address an issue, then each other such document shall control to the extent that it deals most specifically with an issue.

14.          Commercial Purpose.  DEBTOR REPRESENTS TO LENDER THAT THE PROCEEDS OF THIS LOAN ARE TO BE USED PRIMARILY FOR BUSINESS, COMMERCIAL OR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES.  DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY, ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS NOTE.

15.          Collection.   If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy, receivership or other court proceedings, Debtor agrees to pay all costs of collection, including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

16.          Notice of Balloon Payment.  At maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), Debtor must repay the entire principal balance of this Note and unpaid interest then due.  Lender is under no obligation to refinance the outstanding principal balance of this Note (if any) at that time.  Debtor will, therefore, be required to make payment out of other assets Debtor may own; or Debtor will have to find a lender willing to lend Debtor the money at prevailing market rates, which may be higher than the interest rate on the outstanding principal balance of this Note.  If Obligors have guaranteed payment of this Note, Obligors may be required to perform under such guaranty.

17.          AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT.  THIS NOTE IS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY DEBTOR TO AMEND AND RESTATE IN ITS ENTIRETY THAT CERTAIN PROMISSORY NOTE DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2008 IN THE ORIGINAL NOTATIONAL AMOUNT OF FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY DEBTOR, AND PAYABLE TO THE ORDER OF LENDER; WHICH PROMISSORY NOTE AMENDED AND RESTATED IN ITS ENTIRETY THAT CERTAIN PROMISSORY NOTE DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2007 IN THE ORIGINAL NOTATIONAL AMOUNT OF FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY DEBTOR, AND PAYABLE TO THE ORDER OF LENDER; WHICH PROMISSORY NOTE AMENDED AND RESTATED IN ITS ENTIRETY THAT CERTAIN PROMISSORY NOTE DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2006 IN THE ORIGINAL NOTATIONAL AMOUNT OF FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY DEBTOR, AND PAYABLE TO THE ORDER OF LENDER; WHICH PROMISSORY NOTE AMENDED AND RESTATED IN ITS ENTIRETY THAT CERTAIN PROMISSORY NOTE DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2005 IN THE ORIGINAL NOTATIONAL AMOUNT OF THREE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($3,500,000.00) EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY DEBTOR, AND PAYABLE TO THE ORDER OF LENDER; WHICH PROMISSORY NOTE AMENDED AND RESTATED IN ITS ENTIRETY THAT CERTAIN PROMISSORY NOTE DATED AS OF APRIL 26, 2005 IN THE ORIGINAL NOTATIONAL AMOUNT OF FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00) EXECUTED AND DELIVERED BY DEBTOR, AND PAYABLE TO THE ORDER OF LENDER (SUCH PROMISSORY NOTES, BEING COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS, THE “ORIGINAL NOTE”).  NEITHER THE EXECUTION NOR DELIVERY OF THIS NOTE OR THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE ORIGINAL NOTE CONSTITUTES A NOVATION OR PAYMENT OF ANY PART OF THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THE ORIGINAL NOTE.  FURTHER, DEBTOR AGREES THAT THIS NOTE SHALL IN NO WAY AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE LIENS AND/OR SECURITY INTERESTS SECURING REPAYMENT OF THE ORIGINAL NOTE, WHICH LIENS AND/OR SECURITY INTERESTS DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES TO BE VALID AND SUBSISTING, AND DEBTOR SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT THE LIENS SECURING THE ORIGINAL NOTE SHALL NOT IN ANY MANNER BE RELEASED OR WAIVED BUT SHALL INSTEAD BE AND REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT TO SECURE REPAYMENT OF THE INDEBTEDNESS.
