                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

Principal Amount $5,000,000.00                        Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Dated:  July 27, 2010

     This Promissory Note ("Note") is made by the Borrower who has signed
this Note.  The Borrower promises to pay to the order of CRESTMARK
COMMERCIAL CAPITAL LENDING LLC, a Michigan limited liability company
("Crestmark"), ON DEMAND, the principal sum of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances made
by Crestmark to Borrower under the Loan and Security Agreement ("Agreement')
of even date between Borrower and Crestmark, plus interest, fees and
expenses, as hereinafter provided.  Any capitalized terms used in this Note,
if not defined in this Note, will have the meanings assigned to such terms
in the Agreement.  Payment shall be made to Crestmark at its offices located
at 726 Highlandia Drive, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70810 or at such other place
as Crestmark or the person that then holds this Note designates in writing,
the principal amount set forth above or such lesser or greater amount as may
then be due under the Agreement, plus interest, fees and expenses as
hereinafter provided.  All payments that are made must be made in lawful
money of the United States of America in immediately available funds.
Borrower does not have any right to offset, deduction, or counterclaim from
the amount due.

     This Note is referred to in and was delivered pursuant to the Agreement
under which Advances, repayment and further Advances may be made from time
to time, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
Reference is made to the Agreement for additional terms relating to this
Note and the security given for this Note.

     The Borrower acknowledges that this Note matures upon issuance and that
Crestmark, at any time and without reason, may demand that this Note be
immediately paid in full or in part, provided that if Borrower is not in
Default beyond the expiration of the applicable cure period at the time
Crestmark demands payment or anytime thereafter, Borrower shall have ninety
(90) days to find replacement financing or otherwise pay the Indebtedness in
full.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein the contrary, Crestmark may
pursue all remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law if there is
an event of Default, subject to any applicable cure period, before or after
demand for payment.  The demand nature of this Note is not modified by
reference to a Default in this Note or in the Agreement or other Loan
Documents.  To the extent that there is reference to a Default, such
reference is for the purpose of permitting Crestmark to receive interest at
the Extra Rate provided in this Note.

     The outstanding principal balance of this Note will bear interest based
upon a year of 360 days with interest being charged for each day the
principal amount is outstanding including the date of actual payment.  The
interest rate will be a rate which is equal to two (2%) percentage points in
excess of that rate shown in the Wall Street Journal as the prime rate (the
"Effective Rate").  Interest on this Note will change with each change in
the prime rate so published. If at any time Crestmark either abandons the
use of the Wall Street Journal prime rate or the Wall Street Journal prime
rate is no longer published, then Crestmark will establish a similar
replacement rate in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at
no time will the Effective Rate be less than five and one-quarter (5.25%)
percent per annum.

     Borrower must pay interest on the principal amount which is outstanding
each month in arrears commencing on the first day of the month following the
funding of the transaction, and continuing on the first day of each month
thereafter until the Obligations are fully paid.  If the Agreement so
provides, interest will also be payable at the same rate on all other sums
constituting Obligations.  If any payment is due on a day which Crestmark is
not open for business, then payments will be made on the next business day.
Payments will be applied in the manner provided in the Agreement.  If
Borrower at any time pays less than the amount then due, Crestmark may
accept such payment, but the failure to pay the entire amount due is a
Default.  The (i) failure of Borrower to comply with the provisions of the
Agreement or (ii) failure to pay the Obligations following demand will
permit Crestmark to charge the Extra Rate.  The "Extra Rate" shall mean the
Effective Rate plus eight (8%) percent per annum.

     Should Borrower make any payment by mail, the payment must be actually
received by Crestmark before the payment is credited but payment is still
subject to the Clearance Days as defined in the Schedule to the Agreement.
Borrower assumes all risk resulting from non-delivery or delay, in delivery
of any payment no matter how the payment is delivered.

     If Borrower elects to prepay this Note and/or terminate the Agreement,
Borrower may do so, but only upon payment of all the Obligations, including
the Exit Fee set forth in the Schedule.

     It is the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and other
charges to Borrower under this Note shall be lawful; therefore, if for any
reason the interest or other charges payable hereunder are found by a court
of competent jurisdiction, in a final determination, to exceed the limit
Crestmark may lawfully charge Borrower, then the obligation to pay interest
or other charges shall automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any
amount in excess of such limit shall have been paid, then such amount shall
be credited to the outstanding principal balance of this Note, or if no such
amount is outstanding, refunded to Borrower.

     Borrower waives any obligation of Crestmark to present this Note for
payment or to give any notice of nonpayment or notice of protest and any
other notices of any kind.  The liability of the Borrower is absolute and
unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party.

     If this Note is signed by two or more parties, the obligations and
undertakings under this Note shall be that of all and any two or more
jointly and also each severally.
