The terms of this Note are subject to amendment only in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement.







Any failure by Bank to exercise any right under this Note or the Credit Agreement arising or existing as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, or any delay in such exercise, shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such right at a later time so long as such Event of Default shall remain uncured, and shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise such right if any other Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.  The acceptance by Bank of the payment of any sum due and payable under this Note after the date specified for such payment shall not be a waiver of Bank’s right to require prompt payment when due of all other sums payable under this Note or of Bank’s right to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment in full.
