Bick Padraig Ennis Exhibit A EXHIBIT A FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE $_______________ PROMISSORY NOTE __________, 2006 --------------- FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Amen Properties, Inc. and NEMA Properties, LLC (hereinafter called "MAKERS"), promise to pay to the order of __________________________________ _______________________ ("PAYEE"), the principal sum of __________________________________ and __/100 Dollars ($______________) in coin or currency of the United States of America, together with interest thereon from and after the date hereof until paid in full at the rate of 7.75% per annum, but in no event shall the interest exceed the maximum amount of nonusurious interest allowed from time to time by applicable law ("HIGHEST LAWFUL RATE"). The outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest of this Promissory Note (this "NOTE") is due and payable in equal quarterly installments of principal and interest, beginning the last day of the first full calendar quarter following closing under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement among Makers, as buyers, and Payee and others, as sellers, dated May 18, 2006 (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), and continuing on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter until December 31, 2013, the maturity date of this Note when all remaining principal and accrued and unpaid interest of this Note will be fully due and payable. No payment shall be past due and no default will occur hereunder if such payment is made within ten (10) days of the due date. This Note is given pursuant and subject to the Purchase Agreement. This Note is one of a number of promissory notes given under the Purchase Agreement (the "RELATED NOTES"), and the amount of any payment made on this Note will be in proportion to the face amount of this Note compared to the aggregate face amount of this Note and all the Related Notes. No payment will be made on this Note unless contemporaneous payments are made on all of the Related Notes, and no payments will be made on the Related Notes unless a contemporaneous payment is made on this Note. Makers may prepay all or any portion of the remaining principal balance or accrued interest at any time, and from time to time, without penalty or fee. Any prepayment hereunder shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest, if any, owing on this Note and the balance to principal. All agreements between the Makers and Payee, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency shall the interest paid or agreed to be paid to Payee exceed the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. If, under any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Payee at a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then the interest payable to Payee shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, and if under any circumstance whatsoever Payee shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed interest at the Highest Lawful Rate, then any excessive interest paid shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount hereunder and not to the payment of interest or if such excess interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance hereof, such excess shall be refunded to Makers. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Payee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of this Note so that the rate of interest hereon is uniform throughout the term hereof. This paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned and the Payee. THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS EXCEPT FOR CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPALS WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION TO APPLY. A-1 THIS NOTE REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Maker has executed this Note as of the ___ day of _________, 2006. AMEN PROPERTIES, INC.
