No delay or omission on the part of the Bank in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right hereunder, and a waiver of any such right on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right on any future occasion. This Note shall amend, restate, supersede and replace that certain promissory note dated July 20, 2007 in the original principal amount of $100,000,000 executed by the Existing Borrower in favor of the Bank (the “Existing Note”).
