Borrowers waive any claim, set-off or defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which Borrowers do not give such notice as set forth herein. Borrowers acknowledge that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender's ability to enforce its remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrowers with regard to the Loan. 11.8 CONSENT TO LOAN PARTICIPATION AND/OR TRANSFER AS SECURITY. Borrowers agree and consent to Lender's sale or transfer, whether now or later, of one or more participation interests in the Loan to one or more purchasers, whether related or unrelated to Lender and/or the assignment of all of Lender's rights to any other party as security for Lender's obligations to such third party. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more potential purchasers or transferees, any information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrowers or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrowers hereby waive any rights to privacy either may have with respect to such matters. Borrowers also agree that the purchasers of any such participation interests or transferees will be considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loan and will have all the rights granted under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation interests or other agreements with any transferees. Borrowers further waive all rights of offset or counterclaim that they may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a participation interest or other transferee and unconditionally agrees that 13 either Lender or such purchaser or other transferee may enforce Borrowers' obligations under the Loan irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loan.
