PROVIDED that no extension of time given by the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor or anyone claiming under the Mortgagee or any other dealing by the Mortgagee with the owner or owners of the equity of redemption of the said lands or of any part thereof shall in any way affect or prejudice the rights of the Mortgagee against the Mortgagor or any other person liable for the payment of the Indebtedness or any parts thereof;
