Failure by Mortgagee to exercise any right which it may have hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver thereof unless so agreed in writing by Mortgagee, and the waiver by Mortgagee of any default by Mortgagor hereunder shall not constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other default or of the same default on any future occasion.

35. Disclaimer by Mortgagee.
