4.1.          Default.  Borrower shall be in default hereunder immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

4.2.          Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then Lender may, at its option, without notice or demand, declare the unpaid principal balance of, and the accrued but unpaid interest on, this Note immediately due and payable, foreclose all liens and security interests securing payment hereof, pursue any and all other rights, remedies and recourses available to Lender or pursue any combination of the foregoing.  All remedies hereunder, under the Loan Documents and at law or in equity shall be cumulative.

4.3.          Waiver.  Borrower and any endorsers or guarantors hereof severally waive presentment and demand for payment, notice of intent to accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity, protest and notice of protest and non payment, bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing hereunder or in proceeding against any of the rights and collateral securing payment hereof.  Borrower and any endorsers or guarantors hereof agree (a) that the time for any payments hereunder may be extended from time to time without notice and consent, (b) to the acceptance of further collateral, and/or (c) the release of any existing collateral for the payment of this Note, all without in any manner affecting their liability under or with respect to this Note.  No extension of time for the payment of this Note or any installment hereof shall affect the liability of Borrower under this Note or any endorser or guarantor hereof even though Borrower or such endorser or guarantor is not a party to such agreement.

4.4.          No Waiver.  Failure of Lender to exercise any of the options granted herein to Lender upon the happening of one or more of the events giving rise to such options shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other option at any subsequent time in respect to the same or any other event.  The acceptance by Lender of any payment hereunder that is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the options granted herein to Lender at that time or at any subsequent time or nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express written acknowledgment of Lender.

4.5.          Collection Costs.  Borrower agrees to pay all costs of collection hereof when incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any legal action shall be instituted to enforce this Note.

5

applicable law, such late charge shall not, together with other interest to be paid, charged, contracted for, received or reserved against or taken on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note or indebtedness arising under any other Loan Documents, exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate.

V.            MISCELLANEOUS.

5.1.          Loan Documents.  This Note is issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement and is secured, inter alia, by the Lien Instrument covering the Mortgaged Property.

5.2.          Notices.  All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant hereto shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.

5.3.          GOVERNING LAW.  THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  THIS NOTE IS PERFORMABLE IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.  Any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Note against Borrower or any other party ever liable for payment of any sums of money payable on this Note may be brought in any state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas.  Borrower and each such other party hereby irrevocably (a) submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and (b) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum.

5.4.          Interest Limitation.  It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby and by the other Loan Documents (or applicable United States federal law to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law).  If (a) the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the other Loan Documents, or (b) Lender’s exercise of the option herein contained to accelerate the maturity of this Note or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that (i) all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender be credited on the principal balance of this Note (or, if this Note has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and (ii) the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance and detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and by the other Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in effect and applicable

6

to such indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding.  To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303, as amended, of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Maximum Lawful Rate payable on such indebtedness, Lender will utilize the weekly rate ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended.  To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge or receive a greater amount of interest than Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303, as amended, for the purpose of determining the Maximum Lawful Rate.  Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, implement any other method of computing the Maximum Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303, as amended, or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.  In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.  Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against this Note and/or any other indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

5.5.          Captions.  The article and section headings used in this Note are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect, alter or define the meaning or interpretation of the text of any article or section contained in this Note.

5.6.          Joint and Several Liability.  If this Note is executed by more than one party, each such party shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of Borrower under this Note.  If Borrower is a partnership, each general partner of Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder, and each such general partner hereby waives any requirement of law that in the event of a default hereunder, Lender exhaust any assets of Borrower before proceeding against such general partner’s assets.

5.7.          WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE ACTS OR FAILURE TO ACT OF OR BY LENDER IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

5.8.          NO ORAL AGREEMENTS.  THIS NOTE AND ALL THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF BORROWER AND LENDER AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS,

7

AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF BORROWER AND LENDER.  THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE AMENDED OR REVISED ONLY BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING SIGNED BY BORROWER AND LENDER.
