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.

26.2 A certificate signed (or, where reliance is being placed on it by any third party, appearing to be signed) by an officer of the Mortgagee as to the Secured Obligations for the time being due or owing from the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee shall be treated, in favour of the Mortgagee or any person to whom such certificate is issued, as conclusive evidence for all purposes against the Mortgagor and binding on it (save in the case of manifest error) and such certificate may be relied upon by the Mortgagee and any other such person in all circumstances without further enquiry.
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.
26.4 The Mortgagee’s rights powers and remedies under this Mortgage are cumulative and are not, nor are they to be construed as, exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies provided by law or otherwise and may be exercised from time to time and as often as the Mortgagee deems expedient.

26.9 Waiver of Defences: The Mortgagor shall be deemed to be a principal debtor and the sole, original and independent obligor for the Secured Obligations and the Security Interest created by this Mortgage shall be deemed to be a principal security for the Secured Obligations. The Liability of the Mortgagor under this Mortgage shall not be discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by any circumstance, act, omission, matter or thing which but for this provision might operate to reduce, release, prejudice or otherwise exonerate the Mortgagor from its obligations under the Finance Documents in whole or in part, including without limitation and whether or not known to the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or any other person any variation (however fundamental and whether or not involving any increase in the Liability of the Mortgagor or any other obligor thereunder) or replacement of any Finance Documents or any other document or security so that the Mortgagor’s obligations under this Mortgage remain in full force and effect and that this Mortgage shall be construed accordingly as if there were no such circumstance, act, omission, matter or thing.
