Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.2(b) may not be prepaid or reborrowed.  At the request of Lender, the parties agree that, if acceptable to the Escrow Agent, instead of escrowing cash with the Escrow Agent for the purpose of funding the Penalty Loan, Lender may provide one or more letters of credit in the face amount of up to $1,500,000 and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower, which letter(s) of credit will be drawable by the Escrow Agent at any time and  upon written notice from the Borrower (with a copy to Lender) that the Penalty Loan Conditions have been satisfied prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 3.4, the Escrow Agent shall immediately draw such letter of credit and place the proceeds into escrow and, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the procedures in the Escrow Agreement, the amount so drawn will be advanced by the Escrow Agent to Borrower and constitute the Penalty Loan advanced under this Agreement.  If Lender requests the option of providing the letter of credit, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to modify the Merger Agreement, Escrow Agreement and this Agreement, if necessary, to conform the mechanics of the Penalty Loan to reflect funding through a letter of credit instead of deposited cash.

3.               Breach Waiver .  Lender hereby agrees that any actions constituting Events of Default under the Loan Agreement committed by Borrowers and currently known to Lender (including but not limited to (x) the failure of Borrower to make the cash interest payment required under Section 2.3(d) of the Loan Agreement for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 in a timely manner, (y) any other actions expressly described in letter(s) from Lender to Borrower and alleged to be Events of Default, and (z) those other actions expressly described in letters from Parent to the Special Committee and the Company and alleged to be breaches of the Merger Agreement (to the extent such breaches of the Merger Agreement constitute Events of Default under the Loan Agreement)) (collectively, the “ Existing Defaults ”) are hereby waived by Lender, and Lender agrees not to enforce any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Agreement or at law or equity on the basis of any such Existing Default.
