MORTGAGE |
2.1 |
Grant of Mortgage |
The Mortgagor mortgages to the Mortgagee all the Mortgagor’s estate and interest in the Mortgaged Property to secure to the Mortgagee the due and punctual payment of the Secured Moneys and the due and punctual performance of all other Obligations of the Mortgagor under this Mortgage, a Collateral Security, the Transaction Documents and any Loan Agreement.
2.2 |
Priority |
The Mortgage shall rank as a mortgage having the priority specified in the Reference Schedule adjacent to the heading “Priority Ranking”.
2.3 |
Continuing nature |
This Mortgage is a continuing security. It shall not be fully or partially released merely by the payment at any time of any of the Secured Moneys or by any settlement of account. This Mortgage shall continue to apply to the present and future balance of the Secured Moneys until a final release of this Mortgage has been given to the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor shall not be entitled to a final release of this Mortgage whilst:
(a) |
Secured Moneys remain unpaid or other Obligations of the Mortgagor, either alone or with any other person, to the Mortgagee remain unfulfilled or unperformed; |
(b) |
there is a Claim by the Mortgagee or Obligation on the part of the Mortgagor outstanding; or |
(c) |
the Mortgagee may apprehend a liability on the part of the Mortgagor in circumstances (amongst others) where litigation has been threatened or commenced or a dispute exists which, if resolved or settled in a particular way, would or may result in a Claim against the Mortgagee or a Claim by the Mortgagee, which would be recoverable in whole or in part from the Mortgagor. |
2.4 |
Premature discharge of Mortgage |
If the Mortgagee, due to error or a preferential payment subsequently repaid, receives an amount less than it would have otherwise required in exchange for a release or partial release of this Mortgage, then the Rights of the Mortgagee against the Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgaged Property shall be the same as if this Mortgage had not been released or partially released and as if the Mortgagor had no Right of release. In that case, the Mortgagor shall do all things required by the Mortgagee (including, if necessary, signing a further mortgage over the Mortgaged Property released or any property nominated by the Mortgagee of approximately equal value) to restore the Mortgagee’s Rights to the same status as if this Mortgage had not been released or partially released.
2.5 |
Form of discharge |
A release of this Mortgage when given may be in such form as the Mortgagee requires (including a specific provision), so that the release of this Mortgage operates only as a release of the charge created over the Mortgaged Property, but reserving all Rights against the Mortgagor on personal covenants contained or implied in this Mortgage. In the absence of provisions to the contrary in a release or partial release of this Mortgage, a release only has effect as a release of the charge over the Mortgaged Property and not so as to release the Mortgagor from Obligations under the personal covenants in this Mortgage.

3. |

3.2 |
Capitalisation of interest |
If any payment of interest required to be paid under this Mortgage or any part of it is not paid on the due date, the interest in arrears may, at the election of the Mortgagee (without prejudice to other Rights of the Mortgagee) be capitalised and be immediately added to the Secured Moneys and shall bear interest accordingly from the day when the interest is capitalised.
3.3 |
No set off |
The Right to receive amounts under this Mortgage shall be free from any equity, set off, or cross Claim which (except for this provision) the Mortgagor would be entitled to Claim against the Mortgagee or any intermediate mortgagee or an assignee.
3.4 |
No withholding |
If any statute or regulation requires the deduction or withholding of an amount from a payment which is required to be made to the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor shall pay such further amount as is necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions and withholdings have been made, the amount specified in this Mortgage, the Transaction Documents or the relevant Loan Agreement is received by or as directed by the Mortgagee.
4. |
