16                                  Ruling Off Account

 

16.1                        On receiving notice that the Mortgagor has created a Security Interest over or otherwise encumbered or disposed of any of its Mortgaged Shares, the Mortgagee may rule off all its accounts and open new accounts with the Mortgagor.

 

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.
