    \nat once due and payable, and to foreclose or require foreclosure of any and all liens or security interests securing the payment hereof. Failure to exercise such right upon any default shall not

    \nis the intention of Maker and Payee to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law
    \n(including the laws of the State of Texas and the laws of the United States of America), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any agreement entered into in connection with
    \nor as security for this Note, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or
    \nreceived under this Note or under any of the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this Note shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by
    \napplicable law, and any excess shall be credited on the Note by the holder thereof (or, if this Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Maker); <\/font><\/p>\n
    1<\/font><\/p>\n
    \n
    <\/p>\n

    \nand (ii) in the event that maturity of this Note is accelerated by reason of an election by the holder thereof resulting from any default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any
    \nrequired or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for
    \nin this Note or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore prepaid, shall be credited on this Note (or if this Note shall have been
    \npaid in full, refunded to the Maker). <\/font><\/p>\n
            This
    \nNote is secured by a Security Agreement effective as of the date hereof, covering certain common stock owned by Maker, and is entitled to the benefits set forth therein. <\/font><\/p>\n\n\n
