The Parties to this Note intend to comply with the usury laws applicable to this Note.  Accordingly, the Parties agree that no provision in this Note or in any related documents (if any) shall require or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law.  If any excess interest is provided for or contracted for in this Note, or charged to NGC or any other person responsible for payment, or received by Rogers, or if any excess interest is adjudicated to be provided for or contracted for under this Note or adjudicated to be received by Rogers or her assignee or successor, then the Parties expressly agree that this paragraph shall govern and control and that neither NGC nor any other party liable for payment of the Note shall be obligated to pay the amount of excess interest.  Any excess interest that may have been collected shall be, at Rogers’ option, either applied as credit against any unpaid principal amount due or refunded to NGC.  The effective rate of interest shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under the usury laws of the State of Texas as they are now or subsequently construed by the courts of the State of Texas.


 


If this Note is given to an attorney for collection, or if suit is brought for collection, or if it is collected through probate, bankruptcy, or other judicial proceeding, then NGC shall pay Rogers’ actual attorney’s fees in addition to other amounts due.


 


This Note may not be amended or modified in any manner without the express written consent of Rogers or her attorney.


 


Executed to be effective as of October 7, 2011, expressly contingent upon the occurrence of all conditions precedent set forth in the Amendment to the July 2009 Amended and Restated Security Agreement and Schedule of Collateral between Rogers and NGC dated to be effective as of October 7, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in this Note for all purposes.
