INTEREST SHALL BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF EACH ADVANCE UNTIL REPAYMENT OF EACH ADVANCE OR MATURITY, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. 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 as to current and future balances, from time to time by notice from Lender in compliance with Section 303.103 of the Texas Finance Code. PAYMENT. BORROWER WILL PAY THIS LOAN IN ONE PAYMENT OF ALL OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL PLUS ALL ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST ON JANUARY 31, 2007. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PAYMENTS WILL BE APPLIED FIRST TO ANY UNPAID COLLECTION COSTS; THEN TO ANY LATE CHARGES; THEN TO ANY ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST; AND THEN TO PRINCIPAL. 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. VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is Lender's Prime Rate (the "Index"). This is the rate Lender charges, or would charge, on 90-day unsecured loans to the most creditworthy corporate customers. This rate may or may not be the lowest rate available from Lender at any given time. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The interest rate to be applied prior to maturity to the unpaid principal balance during this Note will be at a rate of 1.000 percentage point over the Index. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than 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 of the 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. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower 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 or delivered to: THE FROST NATIONAL BANK, P.O. BOX 1600 SAN ANTONIO, TX 78296. LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 11 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% OF THE UNPAID PORTION OF THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PAYMENT OR $250.00, WHICHEVER IS LESS. POST MATURITY RATE. The Post Maturity Rate on this Note is the lesser of (A) the maximum rate allowed by law or (B) 18.000% per annum. Borrower will pay interest on all sums due after final maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, at that rate. DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Note: PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note. OTHER DEFAULTS.

Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related documents.
