3. Default Under Loan Documents. Lender shall deliver to City a copy of any written notice from Lender to Borrower stating that an event of default has occurred under the Loan Documents ( “Loan Default”), specifying the default upon which the default notice is based (“Default Notice”). Said copy of the Default Notice shall be delivered to City by Lender within five (5) business days in each case where Lender has given a Default Notice to Borrower. Failure of Lender to send a Default Notice to City shall not prevent the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this section, nor shall such failure constitute a default by Lender under this Subordination Agreement. City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Loan Default within sixty (60) days following the date of such Default Notice or the date on which City otherwise acquires actual knowledge of the Loan Default; provided, however, that Lender shall be entitled during such sixty (60) day period to continue to pursue its remedies under the Loan Documents. City may have up to ninety (90) days from the date of the Default Notice to cure a non-monetary default if during such ninety (90) day period City keeps current all payments required by the Loan Documents. In the event that such a non- monetary default creates an unacceptable level of risk relative to the Property, or Lender’s secured position relative to the Property, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, then Lender may exercise during such ninety (90) day period all available rights and remedies to protect and preserve the Property and the rents, revenues and other proceeds from the Property. All amounts paid by City to Lender to cure a Loan Default shall be deemed to have been advanced by City on behalf of the Borrower; Borrower shall be obligated to repay such amounts to City. Notices mailed pursuant to this section shall be mailed by first class mail to the City at the following address:
