(ii) If Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Work is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Work has not been completed in a workmanlike manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory work and so notify the Borrowers with reasonable detail regarding the basis for Lender's dissatisfaction and, after the expiration of forty-five (45) days from the giving of such notice by Lender to the Borrowers of such unsatisfactory work without the cure thereof (or, if such unsatisfactory work is susceptible of a cure but cannot reasonably be cured within said forty-five (45) day period and provided that the Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such unsatisfactory work within said forty-five (45) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, after the expiration of such longer period as is reasonably necessary for the Borrowers in the exercise of due diligence to cure such unsatisfactory work, up to a maximum of an additional sixty (60) days, subject to Force Majeure, without the cure thereof), Lender may proceed under existing contracts or contract with third parties to complete such Work, as the case may be, and apply amounts contained in the applicable Work Reserve toward the labor and materials necessary to complete the same, without providing any additional prior notice to the Borrowers, and exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder.
