Attn: Mr. Erik Roddy P. O. Box 9779 2800 Lamar Avenue Paris, Texas 75460 Gentlemen: September 1, 2011 We have acted as special counsel to Capital One Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") in connection with a loan (the "Loan") by the Bank to the Paris Economic Development Corporation, A Texas Non-Profit Corporation (the "Borrower"). We have either prepared or examined the documents (the "Loan Documents") executed in connection with the Loan (the "Loan Documents"). The Loan Documents are more particularly described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof for all necessary purposes. Further, the opinion of Borrower's attorney has been examined and is relied upon in giving this opinion. If the Borrower, any guarantor of the Loan ("a Guarantor"), or any third party providing collateral for the Loan (a "Third Party Grantor") is a partnership, we have examined the original or certified copies of the contract or articles of partnership of such party, and all amendments and modifications to such document. If the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Third Party Grantor is a corporation, we have examined the charter or articles of incorporation of such party, and all amendments and modifications to such document. We have examined such other certificates, documents and instruments, have made such other inquiries with respect to the Loan, the Borrower, any Guarantor, and any Third Party Grantor and have reviewed such matters of law, public records, and corporate documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. Based on the foregoing, insofar as the laws of the State of Texas are applicable, we are of the opinion that: 1. If the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any Third Pariy Grantor is a partnership or a corporation, each such Borrower, Guarantor, or Third Party Grantor is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary for the legality, validity and enforceability of each of the Loan Documents. 2. The Borrower is executing the Collateral Pledge, Security Agreement, Financing Statements and Loan Agreement listed in Exhibit "A", and has the full power and authority to own the property described therein. The Borrower has full power and authority to execute and deliver to the Bank, and to perform the obligations under, all Loan Documents executed by such party and all other documents and instruments executed by such party that were required by the Bank in connection with the Loan. 3. The Loan Documents and all other documents and instruments required b the Bank in connection with the Loan have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of all parties executing such documents. 4. The Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the parties hereto enforceable by the Bank in accordance with the respective terms of the Loan Documents, except that such Loan Documents and any note listed in Exhibit "A" (the "Note") are enforceable only to the extent of the Borrower's actual indebtedness secured by the security interest in the Note granted to the Bank. The enforceability of the Loan Documents is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditor's rights, including but not limited to Chapter 51 of the Texas Property Code. Such laws, however, shall not, in our opinion, materially interfere with the practical realization of the benefits or security afforded by the Loan Documents. 5. The Loan Documents are all in proper form, and have been duly filed and recorded in all necessary public records in the State of Texas as required by law to give notice of, establish, perfect, preserve, and protect the lien and privilege thereof and the rights of the Bank thereunder. Without any further action, the Loan Documents create a valid first priority security interest in the property and assets described therein. No additional filing or recordation is necessary to protect and maintain the validity, priority, effectiveness or enforceability of the Loan Documents, except that the Loan Documents should be reinscribed as follows: The Financing Statements are valid for a period of five (5) years from date of filing, and should be thereafter continued to insure their validity. 6. All applicable State and Federal laws and all regulations promulgated under such laws have been complied with in connection with the Loan. Very truly yours, THE MOORE LAW FIRM, L.L.P. BY: A. W.

Principal Amount: $2,000 000.00 Initial Rate: 1.960% Date of Note: September 1, 2011 PROMISE TO PAY. PARIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, A Texas Non-Stock, Non-Profit Industrial Development Corporation ("Borrower"), by and through its duly authorized President, M. PIKE BURKHART, SR., promises to pay to the order of CAPITAL ONE BANK, N.A. ("Lender"), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Two million and no/100 ($2,000,000.00) Dollars, or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance or maturity, whichever first occurs. CHOICE OF USURY CEILING AND INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note has been implemented under the "Weekly Ceiling" as referred to in Sections 303.002 and 303.003 of the Texas Finance Code. The terms, including the rate, or index, formula, or provision of law used to compute the rate on the Note, will be subject to revision a of the Texas F nance1Code , from time to time by notice from Lender in compliance wrth Section 303.103 pAyMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on September 1, 2012. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning October 1, 2011, with all subsequent interest payments to be made on the same day of each month thereafter. Borrower's first payment is due October 1, 2011, and all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month thereafter. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal, and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding, unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on a per diem basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, Lender will not charge interest on any undisbursed loan interest proceeds. No scheduled payment, whether Of pri~ep~ date to just fythe p ymlentdue unless sufficient loan fun ds hav e b e e n d i s b u r s e d b y t h e s c h e d u l ed p y VARIABLE INTERE5T RATE. The interest rate on this Loan is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Prime Interest Rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal for interest periods of one month effective on the first business day of the month (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current index upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each month, effective on the first business day of each month. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index is currently 1.960% per annum. The interest rate to be applied prior to maturity to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be an initial rate of 1.960% per annum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the variable interest rate or rates provided for in this Note will be subject to the following maximum rate. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than (except for any higher default rate or Post Maturity Rate shown below) the lesser of 18.000% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law. For purposes of this Note, the "maximum rate allowed by applicable law" means the greater of (a) the maximum rate of interest permitted under Federal or other law applicable to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, or (b) the "Weekly Ceiling" as referred to in Sections 303.002 and 303.003 of the Texas Finance Code. PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Prepayment in full shall consist of payment ofthe remaining unpaid principal balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts, costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this Note or any other agreement with Lender pertaining to this loan, and in no event will Borrower ever be required to pay any unearned interest. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Barrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed ar delivered to: Capital One Bank, N.A., LATE CHARGE. If a payment is ten (10) days late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment. POST MATURITY RATE.

Borrower will pay interest on all sums due after final maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, at that rate. DEFAULT.

Further, if Borrower fails to comply with any of the other terms and conditions of this Note and the instruments securing same within thirty (30) days from date of written notice from Lender, this, too, shall constitute an Event of Default under the terms of this Note.

D. Default and Remedies: 1. A default exists if- (a) . Debtor, Obligor or any secondary obligor fails to timely pay or perform any obligation or covenant in any written agreement between Secured Party and any of Debtor, Obligor, or any secondary obligor, and, notice having been given as herein provided, Debtor, Obligor or any secondary obligor fails to correct such default within the time period specified; (b) any warranty, covenant, or representation in this agreement or in any other agreement between Secured Party and any of Debtor, Obligor, or any secondary obligor is false when made; (c) a receiver is appointed for Debtor, Obligor, any secondary obligor, or any of the Collateral; or (d) a banlmzptcy or insolvency proceeding is commenced against or by Debtor, any partnership of which Debtor is a general pariner, Obligor, or any secondary obligor.

Secured Party's rights and remedies include all those granted by law and those specified in this agreement. 4. Secured Party's delay in exercising, partial exercise of, or failure to exercise any of its remedies or rights does not waive Secured Party's rights to subsequently exercise those remedies or rights.

Secured Party may remedy any default without waiving it. 5. At any time Secured Party may contact obligors on the Collateral directly to verify information furnished by Debtor. 6.

Secured Party has no obligation to satisfy the Obligation by attempting to collect the Obligation from any other person liable for it. Secured Party may release, modify, or waive any collateral provided by any other person to secure any of the Obligation. If Secured Party attempts to collect the Obligation from any other entity liable for it, or releases, modified or waives any collateral provided by any other entity, that will not affect Secured Party's rights against Debtor. Debtor waives any right Debtor may have to require Secured Party to pursue any third entity for any of the Obligation. 8. Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of a sale of the Collateral. 9. Secured Party has no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Debtor or against or in payment of the Note, or any other obligation owed to Secured Party by Debtor or any other person. E. General: 1. This agreement binds, benefits and may be enforced by the successors in interest of Secured Party. Assignment of any part of the Obligarion and Secured Party's delivery of any part of the Collateral will fully discharge Secured Party from responsibility for that part of the Collateral. If such an assignment is made, Debtor will render performance under this agreement to assignee. Debtor waives and will not assert against any assignee any claims, defenses, or setoffs that Debtor could assert against Secured Party except defenses that cannot be waived. All representations, warranties and obligarions are joint and several as to each Debtor. 2. This agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by Secured Party and Debtor. 3.
