This Note is issued pursuant to, and entitled to the benefits of, and is subject to, the provisions of a certain letter agreement dated January 28, 2015 by and among the undersigned and the Bank (herein, as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented, modified or extended, referred to as the “Loan Agreement”), but neither this reference to the Loan Agreement nor any provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the undersigned makers of this Note to pay the principal of and interest on this Note as herein provided. All terms not otherwise defined herein shall be used as defined in the Loan Agreement. Any of the undersigned may at its option prepay all or any part of the principal of this Note subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

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”).
