taxes and insurance. Wife agrees that failure to do so will constitute a failure to make a good
faith effort to refinance. Wife agrees that she shall provide Husband with a copy of the
application and all related correspondence for each effort to secure refinancing.
In the event Wife does not qualify for refinancing, she shall make reapplication for a
mortgage each six month period thereafter. In the event Wife does not qualify for a mortgage
within two years, she agrees to list the property for sale and to accept economically reasonable
offers to purchase the residence. If the property is not refinanced within a two year period of
time due to a failure of Wife to make a good faith effort to refinance, and the property is sold as
noted above, the provision requiring Husband to provide up to TEN THOUSAND AND XX/lOO
DOLLARS ($10,000) of closing costs shall be null and void and Husband shall be under no
obligation to perform this duty.
