month, or if the date selected by Borrower for such commencement is
the last LIBOR Business Day of a calendar month, then the last
LIBOR Business Day of the calendar month in which such period
terminates, or if the numerically corresponding day is not a LIBOR
Business Day then the next succeeding LIBOR Business Day, unless

2. Interest .
2.1 As herein provided, the unpaid
Principal Amount of this Note (or portions thereof) from time to
time outstanding shall bear interest prior to maturity at the
Commercial Based Rate and/or one or more applicable LIBOR Based
Rates (as elected in the manner specified in this Note), provided
that in no event shall the Applicable Rate exceed the Maximum
Lawful Rate. The foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time the
Applicable Rate exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, the rate of
interest payable under this Note shall be limited to the Maximum
Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the Commercial Based
Rate or the LIBOR Based Rate, as the case may be, shall not reduce
the Applicable Rate below the Maximum Lawful Rate until the total
amount of interest accrued on this Note equals the total amount of
interest which would have accrued at the Applicable Rate if the
Applicable Rate had at all times been in effect. Interest prior to
maturity on this Note shall be calculated at a daily rate based on
a year of 360 days, with the daily rate so determined being applied
for the actual number of days elapsed, provided that in no event
shall the amount or rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the
Maximum Lawful Amount. Interest on the Principal Amount (whether
computed at the Commercial Based Rate or at the LIBOR Based Rate)
shall be payable monthly on the last day of each month beginning
the last day of April, 2005, and the remaining Principal Amount and
all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on
the Maturity Date. Any Principal Amount owing hereunder may be paid
in full or in part prior to maturity without penalty or premium,
except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9 as to any
Principal Amount bearing interest at the LIBOR Based
Rate.
2.2 Borrower shall have the option,
subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, of
paying interest on the Principal Amount or portions thereof at the
Commercial Based Rate or the LIBOR Based Rate as herein provided.
Except as to that portion or portions of the Principal Amount
bearing interest at the LIBOR Based Rate, the Principal Amount,
from time to time
outstanding, shall bear interest at the
Commercial Based Rate. If Borrower desires the application of the
LIBOR Based Rate, it shall submit a LIBOR Rate Request to Bank.
Such LIBOR Rate Request shall be irrevocable, subject to
Borrower’s right to convert the rate of interest payable
hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Amount from the LIBOR Based
Rate to the Commercial Based Rate as hereinafter provided. In the
event that Borrower fails to submit a LIBOR Rate Request with
respect to an existing LIBOR Amount not later than 12 o’clock
Noon (Dallas, Texas time) three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior to
the LIBOR Business Day specified in the LIBOR Rate Request for the
commencement of the applicable Interest Period, the LIBOR Amount in
question shall bear interest, commencing at the end of such
Interest Period, at the Commercial Based Rate.
2.3 Bank, at its option, may honor a
LIBOR Rate Request which is submitted less than three (3) LIBOR
Business Days prior to the LIBOR Business Day specified in the
LIBOR Rate Request for the commencement of the applicable Interest
Period; provided, however, Bank is not and shall not thereafter be
bound to honor such a request.
2.4 Any language to the contrary
hereinabove notwithstanding, there may be no
