notice that such obligation was not performed; provided that, if such default is reasonably capable of being cured and such
cure cannot reasonably be effected within such 30-day period, such failure shall not be an Event of Default so long as Borrower
promptly (in any event, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice) commences cure, and thereafter diligently (and
in any event, within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice) prosecutes such cure to completion; and provided
further, however, that notwithstanding the 30-day cure period or extended cure period described above in this subparagraph (n),

or other information on the Property, Borrower, any of Borrower's principals and Guarantor, to any actual or prospective assignee

non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence of compliance with the provisions of this Section as
Lender may from time to time request.

including any portion of the Note to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve

(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding any funds held by Borrower on behalf of tenants or other
third parties) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of Borrower against any of and all the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by Lender, irrespective
of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Lender
agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such setoff and application made by Lender, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of Lender under this Section are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which Lender may have.
