FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, iSecureTrac Corp. (“iSecureTrac”), a Delaware corporation (herein called “Borrower”), whose address is 5078 South 111th Street, Omaha, Nebraska  68137, hereby promises to pay to the order of Crestpark LP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein called “Lender”), the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding hereunder, with interest on the unpaid balance thereof from date of advancement until maturity at the rate or rates hereinafter provided, both principal and interest payable as hereinafter provided in lawful money of the United States of America at the offices of Lender at c/o Sammons Corporation, 5949 Sherry Lane, Suite 1900, Dallas, Texas  75225, or at such other place as from time to time may be designated by the holder of this Note or in such other form as Lender may designate or consent.

Principal Amount.”  That portion of the Loan evidenced hereby as is from time to time outstanding.

Borrower shall have the right to prepay this Note, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty upon written notice thereof given to Lender at least five (5) days prior to the date to be fixed therein for prepayment, and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid (and any interest which has accrued at the Applicable Rate, if applicable, and other sums that may be payable hereunder) to the date so fixed.

As herein provided the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note (or portions thereof) from time to time outstanding shall bear interest prior to maturity at the Applicable Rate, provided that in no event shall the Applicable Rate exceed the Maximum Rate.

The Principal Amount and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  Upon request by Borrower, Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may extend the Maturity Date for an additional thirty (30) days, provided that no default or Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from, or after giving effect to, such extension, and further provided that Lender shall have received such additional assurances, certifications and documents from Borrower, as Lender shall reasonably require.

Lender agrees to make one or more advances to Borrower from time to time from the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount up to, but not exceeding, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).  Amounts borrowed and prepaid may not be reborrowed.  Each borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Lender.  Each such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. three (3) business days prior to the requested date of any borrowing.  Each such notice must be made in writing by delivery to the Lender of an Advance Request Form, appropriately completed and signed by the Borrower.  Each Advance Request Form shall specify (i) the requested date of the borrowing (which shall be a business day), and (ii) the principal amount to be borrowed.  No more than one advance may be requested during any calendar week and advances shall be in a minimum amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or such lesser amount that exhausts any remaining availability under this Note.

The obligation of the Lender to make any advance hereunder is subject to the following additional conditions precedent:  (i) The Lender shall have received an Advance Request Form in accordance with the terms set forth herein which shall be appropriately executed by authorized officers of Borrower; and (ii) No default or Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from, or after giving effect to, such advance.

All interest accruing under this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year applied to the actual number of days in each month.  The Borrower shall make each payment which it owes hereunder not later than twelve o’clock, noon, Dallas, Texas time, on the date such payment becomes due and payable (or the date any voluntary prepayment is made), in immediately available funds.  Any payment received by the Lender after such time will be deemed to have been made on the next following business day.  As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean a day on which commercial banks are open for business with the public in Dallas, Texas.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at the option of the holder of this Note and upon notice to the Borrower at any time after the occurrence of a default hereunder, from and after such notice and during the continuance of such default, the unpaid principal of this Note from time to time outstanding and all past due interest shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at the Default Rate, provided that in no event shall such interest rate be more than the Maximum Rate.

Lender and Borrower intend in the execution of this Note and all other instruments now or hereafter securing this Note to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law.  In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Note, or in any other instrument executed in connection herewith, shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate; neither Borrower nor any guarantor, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of this Note shall ever be obligated or required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate that may be lawfully charged under applicable law, and the provisions of this paragraph shall control over all other provisions of this Note and any other instruments now or hereafter executed in connection herewith which may be in apparent conflict herewith.  Lender, including each holder of this Note, expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of this Note is accelerated.  If the maturity of this Note shall be accelerated for any reason or if the Principal Amount is paid prior to the end of the term of this Note, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of existence of the Loan exceeds the amount of interest that would have accrued at the Maximum Rate, the Lender or other holder of this Note shall, at its option, either refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the Principal Amount and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable law as a result of such excess interest.  In the event that Lender or any other holder of this Note shall contract for, charge or receive any amounts and/or any other thing of value which are determined to constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, all such sums determined to constitute interest in excess of the amount of interest at the lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of the Lender or other holder of this Note, be either immediately returned to Borrower or credited against the Principal Amount, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable.  By execution of this Note, Borrower acknowledges that it believes the Loan evidenced by this Note to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower should have reason to believe that the Loan is in fact usurious, it will give the Lender or other holder of this Note notice of such condition and Borrower agrees that the Lender or other holder shall have ninety (90) days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in fact such exists.  The term “applicable law” as used in this Note shall mean the laws of the state of Texas or the laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

THIS NOTE AND THE PARTIES’ RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO TEXAS’ PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW) AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS IN SUCH STATE.  BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY TEXAS OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN DALLAS, TEXAS OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE, AND BORROWER HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY TEXAS OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN DALLAS, TEXAS (OR SUCH OTHER COUNTY IN TEXAS) MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS OF BORROWER CONTAINED HEREIN, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
