However, if any such failure is not willful or intentional, does not place any rights or interest in collateral of Lender in immediate jeopardy, and is within the reasonable power of Borrower to promptly cure after receipt of notice thereof, all as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default (unless otherwise expressly provided) if during such 30-day period, Borrower begins to cure the failure and then diligently pursues the cure to completion, except that in no event will the cure period under this subsection exceed 90 days from the date Borrower receives the notice from Lender.
