7.16       Sale of Mortgage Loan to Investor.

 

Provide status reports of its efforts to sell each Mortgage Loan to the applicable Investor on the earlier of: (a) within five (5) days after Borrower becomes aware of any fact or circumstance that causes Borrower to believe that the Investor may not purchase the Mortgage Loan within sixty (60) days after the date of the related Warehousing Advance, in which case such status report shall include Borrower’s plan for repaying Lender the amount of the Mortgage Loan, and (b) fifty-five (55) days after the date of the applicable Warehousing Advance provided Lender has requested the status of such efforts to sell such Mortgage Loan.

Section 5.         Amendments. This Seventh Amendment may be amended or supplemented by and only by an instrument executed and delivered by each party hereto.

The Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived the exercise of any right which they hold under the Credit Facility Agreement unless such waiver is made expressly and in writing (and no delay or omission by any Lender in exercising any such right shall be deemed a waiver of its future exercise). No such waiver made as to any instance involving the exercise of any such right shall be deemed a waiver as to any other such instance, or any other such right.
