16.11Reinstatement

 

If any payment in respect of any Secured Obligation or any settlement, discharge or release of any Secured Obligation by or on behalf of the Mortgagee is avoided or reduced by virtue of any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application or any similar event or for any other reason, the liability of the Mortgagor under this Deed and the Security created by this Deed shall continue as if such payment, settlement, discharge or release had not occurred.

 

17Release of Security

 

17.1Redemption of Security

 

Upon the expiry of the Security Period, the Mortgagee shall, at the request (with reasonable notice) and cost of the Mortgagor, promptly do all things and execute all documents as may be necessary to evidence the release, discharge and cancel the Security constituted by this Deed and procure the reassignment to the Mortgagor of the property and assets assigned to the Mortgagee pursuant to this Deed (to the extent not otherwise sold, assigned or otherwise disposed of or applied in accordance with this Deed), including without limitation the execution of a deed of release in favour of the Mortgagor and delivering all documents of title and evidence of ownership in respect of the Mortgaged Property delivered under Clause 4.2 to the Mortgagor or to any other person as the Mortgagor may reasonably request in writing (to the extent not otherwise sold, assigned or otherwise disposed of or applied in accordance with this Deed), in each case subject to Clause ‎17.2 (Avoidance of Payments) and without recourse to, or any representation or warranty by, the Mortgagee.
