PROMISE
TO PAY. The Monarch Cement Company ("Borrower") promises to pay to Bank
of Oklahoma, N.A. ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the principal amount of Ten Million & 00/100 Dollars
($10,000,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the
unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be
calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each
advance.
PAYMENT.
Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all
accrued unpaid interest on December 31, 2004. In addition, Borrower will pay
regular quarterly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment
date, beginning March 31, 2004, with all subsequent interest payments to be due
on the same day of each quarter after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required
by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid
interest; then to principal; and then to any unpaid collection costs. 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. 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 independent index which is the XX Xxxxxx
Xxxxx Bank Prime Rate (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the
lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable
during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute Index after
notice to Borrower. 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 Index currently is 4.000% per annum.
The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of this Note
will be at a rate of 0.750 percentage points under the Index, resulting in an
initial rate of 3.250% per annum. NOTICE: Under no
circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the
maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
PREPAYMENT.
Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier
than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing,
relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments of
accrued unpaid interest. 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: Bank
of Oklahoma, N.A., X.X. Xxx 000000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, XX
00000-0000.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including
failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may, if
permitted under applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Note
to 18.000% per annum. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law.

under this Note:
