right to cure set forth in Section 4(a), Subordinate Lender may commence
any Enforcement Action.

Senior Lender and Funding Lender in writing that any Subordinate Mortgage
Default of which Senior Lender has received Notice has been cured or waived, as
determined by Subordinate Lender in its sole discretion, then provided that Senior
Lender has not conducted a sale of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to its rights
under the Senior Loan Documents, any Senior Mortgage Default under the Senior
Loan Documents arising solely from such Subordinate Mortgage Default will be
deemed cured, and the Senior Loan will be reinstated.

(i)
Senior Lender or Funding Lender will deliver to Subordinate Lender a copy
of any Notice sent by Senior Lender or Funding Lender to Borrower of a

remedies under the Senior Loan Documents.
(ii) Subordinate Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any
monetary Senior Mortgage Default within 30 days following the date of such
Notice. During such 30-day period Senior Lender will be entitled to continue

(iii) Subordinate Lender may, within 90 days after the date of the Notice, cure a
non -monetary Senior Mortgage Default if during such 90-day period,
Subordinate Lender keeps current all payments required under the Senior
Loan Documents. If such a non -monetary Senior Mortgage Default creates an
unacceptable level of risk relative to the Mortgaged Property, or Senior
Lender's secured position relative to the Mortgaged Property, as determined
by Senior Lender in its sole discretion, then during such 90-day period Senior
Lender may exercise all available rights and remedies to protect and preserve
the Mortgaged Property and the Rents, revenues and other proceeds from the
Mortgaged Property.
(iv) All amounts paid by Subordinate Lender to Senior Lender to cure a Senior
Mortgage Default will be deemed to have been advanced by Subordinate
Lender pursuant to, and will be secured by the lien of, the Subordinate
Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(a) to the contrary,
Subordinate Lender's right to cure any Senior Mortgage Default will terminate
immediately upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Proceeding.
