year thereafter. The current interest rate for Note B is 8%

any interest adjustment or change date to, and TJ agrees
that if reqested by SNB, change the monthly payment amount
of any Note to an amount that will amortize the then unpaid
principal balance at the then interest rate over the
remaining term of the Note. Interest shall be calculated on
a 360-day year basis for the actual number of days elapsed.
WSJPR is the annual rate of interest from time to time
published in the Wall Street Journal under the Column
heading "Money Rates" as the "Prime Rates" being stated as
the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of
the nation's thirty (30) largest banks. If for any reason
the Wall Street Journal should cease to publish a Prime
Rate, WSJPR shall mean, for the purposes of Note A, Note B,
Note C and Note D, such variable annual rate of interest
generally published or announced by a major New York, New
York, bank which, in the good faith judgment of SNB, shall
be the nearest practical equivalent of the WSJPR (which
shall be the same rate charged by SNB to other customers
whose rates are tied to the WSJPR). Such prime rate of
interest will not necessarily be the lowest or most
favorable rate of interest at any time being charged by any
bank or banks or SNB in respect of loans made or
administered by such SNB or SNBs or SNB with respect to
which a "prime rate" of interest is a factor.

Assumption and Modification Agreement, TJ hereby assumes the
obligations of ITF under Note A, Note B, Note C and Note D

interest of Note A, Note B, Note C and Note D reflected on

hereof, the "Assumption Date".

SNB, but not otherwise; and the failure to exercise the
rights and remedies referred to in Section 5.2 shall not
operate as a waiver or otherwise preclude enforcement of
such rights and remedies. A waiver shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.
The rights and remedies of SNB shall be cumulative and the

limited to his guaranty.

10.5 The obligations of TJ under this Agreement shall
in no way be affected or impaired by any failure, delay or
omission in enforcing payment of the indebtedness or
applying any security to the indebtedness, or in exercising
any right or power in respect thereto, or by any compromise,
waiver, settlement, change, subordination, modification or
disposition of all or any part of the indebtedness or of any
security for the indebtedness. There shall be no obligation
on the part of the SNB, at any time, to resort for payment
to TJ or any guarantor, to seek or obtain a deficiency
judgment against TJ or to proceed against any other security
or collateral for the indebtedness and SNB shall have the
absolute, unconditional and continuing right to enforce this
Agreement irrespective of whether or not other proceedings
or steps are being taken against any property securing the
indebtedness or any guarantor or any other party primarily
or secondarily liable on any of the indebtedness. TJ
expressly and voluntarily waives and relinquishes all set
offs, rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to
sureties, including without limitation, any and all offsets,
set offs, rights, remedies or defenses accorded thereto by
any provision of Title 15 of the Oklahoma Statutes or by
Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes or otherwise.

extend to and be binding upon the respective successors and
assigns of the TJ, ITF and SNB. "SNB" as used herein,
includes any participant of SNB and any subsequent holder of
the Notes. This Agreement cannot be modified, amended,
waived, cancelled, terminated or otherwise changed without
the advance written consent of the parties hereto.
10.7 This Agreement and all documents were negotiated
and executed in the State of Oklahoma and the Note was
issued and is payable in the State of Oklahoma and each
shall be governed and construed by the substantive laws of
the State of Oklahoma. If any provision of this Agreement
is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
affect other provisions which can be given effect, and this
Agreement shall be given effect, and shall be construed as
if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein. All representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of
the Notes.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we the undersigned have
executed this Agreement the date and year first above
written.
