Best Efforts: Efforts determined to be reasonably diligent by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Such efforts do not require the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to enter into any litigation, arbitration or other legal or quasi-legal proceeding, nor do they require the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, to advance or expend fees or sums of money in addition to those specifically set forth in this Agreement.
Sale and Conveyance of Mortgage Loans Seller agrees to sell and Purchaser agrees to purchase, from time to time, those certain Mortgage Loans identified in a Mortgage Loan Schedule, on the price and terms set forth herein. Purchaser, on any Funding Date, shall be obligated to purchase only such Mortgage Loans set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Purchaser will purchase Mortgage Loan(s) from Seller, from time to time on such Funding Dates as may be agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller. The closing shall, at Purchaser's option be either: by telephone, confirmed by letter or wire as the parties shall agree; or conducted in person at such place, as the parties shall agree. On the Funding Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Seller will sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse except as set forth in this Agreement, and the Purchaser will purchase, all of the right, title and interest of the applicable Seller in and to the Mortgage Loans being conveyed by it hereunder, as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Examination of the Mortgage Files may be made by Purchaser or its designee as follows. No later than five business days prior to the Funding Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser or Custodian Legal Documents required pursuant to Schedule B. Upon Purchaser's request, Seller shall make the Credit Documents available to Purchaser for review, at Seller's place of business and during reasonable business hours. If Purchaser makes such examination prior to the Funding Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the Cendant Guide, such Mortgage Loans will be deleted from the Mortgage Loan Schedule at Purchaser's discretion. Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that Purchaser has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Loan files shall not affect Purchaser's rights to demand repurchase, substitution or other relief as provided herein. On the Funding Date and in accordance with the terms herein, Purchaser will pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Purchase Price, together with interest at the Mortgage Loan Remittance Rate from the Cut-Off Date to the Funding Date, according to the instructions to be provided, respectively, by Cendant Mortgage and the Trust. Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled principal due after the Cut-Off Date, all other recoveries of principal collected after the Funding Date and all payments of interest on the Mortgage Loans (minus that portion of any such payment which is allocable to the period prior to the Funding Date). The principal balance of each Mortgage Loan as of the Funding Date is determined after application of payments of principal due on or before the Funding Date whether or not collected. Therefore, payments of scheduled principal and interest prepaid for a due date beyond the Funding Date shall not be applied to the principal balance as of the Funding Date. Such prepaid amounts shall be the property of Purchaser. Seller shall hold any such prepaid amounts for the benefit of Purchaser for subsequent remittance by Seller to Purchaser. All scheduled payments of principal due on or before the Funding Date and collected by Seller after the Funding Date shall belong to Seller.
