15.2 This Mortgage is in addition to and shall not merge with or otherwise prejudice or affect any bankers lien, right to combine and consolidate accounts, right of set-off or any other contractual or other right or remedy or any guarantee, lien, pledge, bill, note, charge or other security now or hereafter held by or available to the Mortgagee.

16.2 If the Mortgagee does not open a new account immediately on receipt of such notice, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so on that day. From that day, all payments made by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee shall be treated as having been credited to a new account and shall not operate to reduce the amount owing from the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee at the time when it received such notice, until the amount deposited into such account, together with amounts in any other accounts opened pursuant to any Finance Documents and any other payments to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Finance Documents, are sufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Liabilities at which point all such amounts shall be applied to the Liabilities with any surplus being paid to the Mortgagor.

26.3 No delay or omission on the part of the Mortgagee in exercising any right or remedy under this Mortgage shall impair that right or remedy or operate as or be taken to be a waiver of it nor shall any single, partial or defective exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise under this Mortgage of that or any other right or remedy.
