Any sale may be postponed or adjourned by public announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale. 2.12 Additional Provisions as to Remedies In the event that Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy hereunder by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall be discontinued, abandoned or determined adversely for any reason, then Mortgagor and Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Mortgaged Property, subject to the lien hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Agent shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and available at law and equity and the same, to the extent allowed at law or in equity, (i) are intended to be and shall be nonexclusive, (ii) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (iii) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Mortgagor; and (iv) the exercise thereof by Agent shall in no event be construed as an election of remedy, or a waiver or release of any right, remedy or recourse as to the Mortgaged Property.
