         Section  3.1       Representations  and  Warranties  of Seller.  Seller
hereby  represents and warrants to, and agrees and covenants with,  Purchaser as
of the Closing Date and each Cut-Off Date as follows:

         (a)  Organization  and Good  Standing.  Seller  is duly  organized  and
validly  existing under the laws of its  jurisdiction of  incorporation or other
formation,  has the power to own its  assets,  including  but not limited to the
Contracts,  and to  transact  business  in the  State in  which it is  currently
engaged.  Seller is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the
State and in each other  jurisdiction  in which the  character  of the  business
transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it or the purchase and sale of
the Contracts requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify
would have an  adverse  effect on the  performance  of Seller  hereunder  or the
enforceability of any of the Contracts.

         (b) Authorization;  Binding Obligations. Seller has all requisite power
and  authority  to make,  execute,  and deliver this  Agreement,  to perform its
obligations  under  this  Agreement,  and to  effect  all  of  the  transactions
contemplated  to be  performed  by it under  this  Agreement,  and has taken all
necessary action to authorize the execution,  delivery,  and performance of this
Agreement and to consummate the transactions  contemplated hereby. When executed
and  delivered,  this Agreement will  constitute the legal,  valid,  and binding
obligation of Seller enforceable in accordance with its terms.

         (c) No Consent  Required.  Seller is not required to obtain the consent
of any other party nor is any consent, license, approval, or authorization from,
or registration or declaration  with, the State or any  governmental  authority,
bureau, or agency required in connection with Seller's execution,  delivery,  or
performance of this Agreement,  or, if required,  Seller has previously obtained
any such required consent, license, approval,  authorization,  registration,  or
declaration.

         (d) No Violations.  The execution,  delivery,  and  performance of this
Agreement and the  transactions  contemplated  hereby by Seller will not violate
any  provision of any existing law or  regulation  or any order or decree of any
court of competent jurisdiction applicable to Seller or the charter or bylaws of
Seller, or constitute a breach of any mortgage,  indenture,  loan agreement,  or
other contract to which Seller is a party or by which Seller may be bound.

         (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before
any court,  tribunal,  or  governmental  body is  currently  pending  or, to the
knowledge  of  Seller,  threatened  against  Seller  or any  of its  properties,
including specifically the Contracts,  Financed Vehicles, or Insurance Policies,
or with respect to this Agreement.

         (f)  Sale  of  Contracts.  Each  sale  of  Contracts  pursuant  to this
Agreement  shall be  reflected  on Seller's  balance  sheet and other  financial
statements  as a sale of assets by Seller.  Seller  shall not take any action or
omit to take any action  which  would  cause the  transfer  of any  Contract  to
Purchaser  to be treated as anything  other than a sale to  Purchaser  of all of
Seller's right, title, and interest in and to such Contract.

         Section 3.2     Representations and Warranties as to Each Contract.
Seller  hereby makes the  following  representations  and  warranties as to each
Contract or Pool of Contracts conveyed by it to Purchaser hereunder.

         (a) Characteristics of Contracts.  The Contract (i) has been originated
by Seller in the  ordinary  course of Seller's  business  and has been fully and
properly  executed  by  the  parties  thereto,  (ii)  is  secured  by  a  valid,
subsisting,  and enforceable  first priority lien and security interest in favor
of  Seller  in the  Financed  Vehicle,  which  lien and  security  interest  are
assignable  by Seller to Purchaser,  (iii)  contains  customary and  enforceable
provisions  such as to render  the  rights and  remedies  of the holder  thereof
adequate  for  realization   against  the  collateral  securing  such  Contract,
including the Financed Vehicle,  (iv) provides for payments which fully amortize
the Amount  Financed over the original term and provide  interest at the related
APR over the term of the  Contract,  (v) provides for, in the event the Contract
is prepaid,  a prepayment that fully prepays the outstanding  principal  balance
thereof and includes  accrued and unpaid  interest at least  through the date of
prepayment  in an amount  equal to the APR,  and (vi) has not, as of the related
Cut-Off Date,  been  modified as a result of the  Soldiers'  and Sailors'  Civil
Relief Act of 1940, as amended.

         (b)  Contract  Schedule.  The  information  set  forth in the  Contract
Schedule with respect to such Contract was true and correct as of the opening of
business on the related  Cut-Off Date, and the principal  balance and the APR of
the Contract as of the related  Cut-Off Date have been  accurately and correctly
calculated in all documents  within the related  Contract File and is accurately
and correctly shown on the Contract Schedule. All reports delivered to Purchaser
by Seller regarding payments made by Obligor subsequent to the Cut-Off Date will
be, when delivered, true and correct.

         (c) Down Payment. The down payment paid by the Obligor on each Contract
was paid by such  Obligor  to Seller in the amount and form as set forth on each
Contract.

         (d)  Compliance  with Law.  The  Contract  and the sale of the  related
Financed Vehicle complied at the time it was originated or made, and will comply
as of the Closing Date and the related  Cut-Off Date,  with all  requirements of
State  law  and  any  other  applicable  federal,  state  and  local  laws,  and
regulations thereunder,  including,  without limitation, laws relating to usury,
the Federal  Truth-In-Lending  Act, the Equal Credit  Opportunity  Act, the Fair
Credit  Billing Act,  the Fair Credit  Reporting  Act, the Fair Debt  Collection
Practices  Act,  Federal  Reserve  Board  Regulations  B, Z and  AA,  any  state
adaptations  of  the  National   Consumer  Credit   Protection  Act,  any  state
adaptations of the Uniform  Consumer  Credit Code,  and, to the best of Seller's
knowledge,  any  other  applicable  consumer  credit,  equal  opportunity,   and
disclosure laws.

         (e)  Binding   Obligation.   The  Contract   constitutes  the  genuine,
bona-fide,  valid,  and binding  obligation of the Obligor,  enforceable  by the
holder thereof in accordance with its terms.

         (f)  Solvency of  Obligors.  To Seller's  knowledge,  no  voluntary  or
involuntary  petition  or  complaint  is pending by or against  Obligor  seeking
bankruptcy of Obligor or the appointment of a receiver or trustee of Obligor, or
of all or substantially  all of the assets of Obligor;  and no order,  order for
relief,  judgment, or decree is pending or threatened seeking the appointment of
a receiver or trustee of Obligor,  or of all  substantially all of the assets of
Obligor.

         (g) No  Government  Obligor.  The  Obligor is not the United  States of
America or any State thereof, or any agency, department,  political subdivision,
or instrumentality of the United States of America or any State thereof.

         (h) Contracts in Force. The Contract has not been pledged,  encumbered,
satisfied, subordinated, waived, restricted, rescinded, or held to be invalid or


                                       81

<PAGE>

unenforceable,  and the  Financed  Vehicle has not been  released  from the lien
granted by the  Contract in whole or in part nor has the  Financed  Vehicle been
damaged to such degree that materially affects the value of the Financed Vehicle
since the date of sale of the Financed Vehicle to Obligor.

         (i)  No Amendment  or Waiver.  No  provision  of the  Contract has been
amended,  waived,  altered,  or modified in any  respect,  except  pursuant to a
document,  instrument, or writing included in the Contract File and reflected in
the  Electronic  Ledger,  and  no  such  amendment,   waiver,   alteration,   or
modification  causes such Contract or the lien and security  interest granted by
the  Contract  against  the  Financed  Vehicle  not  to  conform  to  the  other
representations  and  warranties  contained  in this  Agreement,  nor renders it
invalid or unenforceable.

         (j)  No  Defenses.  The  Contract  is  not  subject  to  any  right  of
rescission,  setoff, counterclaim, or defense including, without limitation, the
defense  or  claim  of  usury,  and the  operation  of any of the  terms  of the
Contract, or the exercise of any right thereunder,  will not render the Contract
unenforceable  in whole or in part or  subject  to any  claim,  cause of action,
right of rescission,  right of cancellation,  setoff,  counterclaim,  or defense
including, without limitation, the defense or claim of usury, and no such claim,
cause  of  action,   right  of  rescission,   right  of  cancellation,   setoff,
counterclaim, or defense has been asserted by Obligor with respect thereto.

         (k) No Liens. There are no undisclosed liens or claims, including liens
for work,  labor,  materials,  or unpaid state or federal taxes  relating to the
Financed Vehicle, that are or may be liens prior to, equal to, or subordinate to
the lien granted by the Contract against the Financed Vehicle.

<PAGE>


         (l) No Default.  Except for payment  delinquencies  of which Seller has
notified  Purchaser  in  writing,  no  default,  breach,   violation,  or  event
permitting  acceleration  under  the  terms  of  the  Contract  exists,  and  no
continuing  condition  that  with  notice  or  lapse of  time,  or  both,  would
constitute a default, breach,  violation, or event permitting acceleration under
the  terms  of the  Contract  exists,  and  Seller  has  not  waived  any of the
foregoing.

         (m) Good Title.  Neither  the  Contract  nor any of Seller's  interests
therein has been sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, or otherwise conveyed by
Seller to any person other than Purchaser and, immediately prior to the transfer
and assignment herein contemplated,  Seller (i) had good and marketable title to
the Contract free and clear of any encumbrance,  equity,  lien, pledge,  charge,
claim,  security interest,  or other right or title of any third party, (ii) was
the sole owner and holder of the Contract and all rights  thereunder,  and (iii)
had full right,  power,  and  authority  to transfer  and assign the Contract to
Purchaser.  Immediately  upon the  transfer  and  assignment  of the Contract to
Purchaser,  Purchaser shall have good and marketable title to the Contract, free
and clear of any encumbrance,  equity,  lien, pledge,  charge,  claim,  security
interest,  or other right or title of any other Person and the transfer  will be
valid and enforceable under the laws of the State.

         (n) Lawful Assignment.  The Contract has not been originated in, and is
not subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, and
assignment  of such  Contract  hereunder  to  Purchaser  or  pursuant  to  which
transfers of the Contracts to Purchaser are unlawful, void, or voidable.

         (o) All Filings Made. All filings,  including UCC filings, necessary in
any  jurisdiction  to give Purchaser an ownership  interest (or a first priority
perfected security interest) in the Contract have been made.

         (p) One  Original.  There is only one  original  executed  Contract and
related certificate of title, which has been conveyed,  endorsed,  and delivered

in all respects,  and Seller has not made any untrue  statement of material fact
or omitted to state any  material  fact to  Purchaser or any of its officers and
agents in  connection  with the  purchase  of the  Contracts  by  Purchaser.  No
material  adverse  change has  occurred  in the  business,  prospects,  profits,
properties,   operations,  or  condition,  financial  or  otherwise,  except  as
disclosed to Purchaser in such delivered information.

         (v) No Assignment.  Seller has not taken any action to convey any right

caused the portions of the  Electronic  Ledger  relating to the  Contracts to be
purchased as of the related Cut-Off Date to be clearly and unambiguously  marked
to show that  such  Contracts  are  owned by  Purchaser  and,  upon  Purchaser's
request, shall provide Purchaser with evidence of such marking.

         (z)  Other.  Without  limiting  any of the  foregoing,  Seller  further

in  form  and  substance  in  compliance   with  all   applicable   governmental

                               Covenants of Seller

         Seller  hereby  agrees  to  keep,  perform,  and  fully  discharge  the
following covenants and agreements:

         Section 4.1     Effecting and  Perfecting  Each Sale of Contracts.  At
the request of Purchaser, Seller will, at Seller's expense, promptly:

                  (i)      take   or  cause  to  be  taken  any  further  action
necessary or  appropriate to effect and perfect each sale and conveyance of each

                  (iv)     execute  a notice  letter to the  Obligors  informing
them of the  existence of this  transaction  and the sale and  assignment of the

existence of this  transaction  and the sale and  assignment  of the  applicable
Contract.


                                       84

<PAGE>

         Without  limiting  the  generality  of the  foregoing,  at  Purchaser's
request,  Seller will send appropriate  notices of the transfer of the Contracts
to insurers under the Insurance Policies covering the Financed Vehicles securing
the  Contracts  and will send  appropriate  notices  to the  Obligors  under the
Contracts.

         Section  4.2       Certificate  of  Title.  Seller  has  delivered  and
assigned to  Purchaser  the original  certificate  of title with respect to each
Financed  Vehicle  that is the subject of each  Contract  purchased by Purchaser
hereunder, and Seller will not request any governmental agency to issue or cause
to be issued any copy of such  certificate  of title,  except  upon the  written
request of Purchaser.  If a temporary certificate of title has been obtained and
delivered to Purchaser,  Seller will promptly obtain a permanent  certificate of
title,  reflecting  Seller's  lien, and deliver it to Purchaser as soon as it is
obtained.

         Section  4.3       No  Future Lien.  After the sale to Purchaser of any
Contract,  Seller  will not create or cause to be created any lien or claim that
is prior to or equal to the lien  granted by the  Contract  against the Financed
Vehicle,  including a lien for any work,  labor,  materials,  or unpaid state or
federal taxes relating to a Financed Vehicle.

         Section  4.4       Replacement and Repurchase of Contracts. Seller will
perform or cause to be performed the replacement and repurchase  obligations set
forth in Article V of this Agreement.

         Section  4.5       Relocation  of Principal  Executive  Office.  Seller
shall give  Purchaser  at least  thirty  (30) days prior  written  notice of any
relocation  of its  principal  executive  office  and if,  as a  result  of such
relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any
amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation  statement or of any
new  financing  statement,  Seller shall  execute and deliver to Purchaser  such
amended or replacement financing statement.

         Section 4.6       Notice of Breach. Seller covenants and agrees to give
Purchaser   prompt   written   notice  upon   discovery   of  a  breach  of  any
representation,  warranty,  or covenant of this Agreement and upon the discovery
of any  delinquency  in the  payment of unpaid  principal  and  interest  on any
Contract by Obligor.

                                    ARTICLE V

                     Repurchase and Replacement of Contracts

         Section  5.1       Repurchase  and  Replacement  Obligation.  Upon  the
occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined below), Seller agrees to replace or
repurchase any of the Contracts  subject to such Triggering  Event in the manner
and within the time period as provided in this Article V.

         Section  5.2       Replacement  of Contracts.  Upon the occurrence of a
Triggering  Event,  Seller may elect to replace any  Contract by  delivering  to
Purchaser a replacement contract (a "Replacement Contract"), which is acceptable
to  Purchaser,  within the time  specified  in this  Article V. The  Replacement
Contract  delivered  by Seller  must be secured by a first  priority  lien on an
automobile and/or light-duty truck and must contain an equivalent pay-off amount
as of the date of  exchange,  the same term,  the same APR, and such other terms
and provisions  acceptable to Purchaser.  To the extent  Purchaser,  in its sole
discretion,  accepts a Replacement  Contract with a term, APR, or pay-off amount
that varies in any way from that of the Contract to be replaced,  the  resulting
yield on the investment  for Purchaser  must be  equivalent.  Seller will pay to
Purchaser,  or vice versa, an amount at the date of exchange which will make the
exchange exact as to value and yield.  Seller shall reimburse  Purchaser for any
and all expenses  incurred by Purchaser with respect to any Contract replaced in
accordance  with this Article V. The decision to accept or reject a  Replacement
Contract  is in the  Purchaser's  sole  discretion,  and  Purchaser  is under no
obligation to accept a Contract offered by Seller as a replacement. If Purchaser
does not accept the Replacement Contract,  Seller must repurchase the delinquent
Contract from Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof.

                                       85

<PAGE>


         Section  5.3       Manner  of  Replacement.  If  Purchaser  accepts the
Replacement  Contract  offered  by  Seller,  Seller  shall  promptly  deliver to
Purchaser the Contract File related to the Replacement  Contract,  together with
the  documents  required to be  delivered  pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof.  Upon
receipt  by  Purchaser  of  each  of the  foregoing  (unless  receipt  of any is
expressly  waived by Purchaser),  Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller the
Contract  to be  replaced,  the  Contract  File  related to the  Contract  to be
replaced,  and all other documents in the possession of Purchaser related to the
Contract to be replaced.

         Section  5.4       Continuing  Obligations  of  Seller  on  Replacement
Contracts. Seller agrees and acknowledges that the representations,  warranties,
covenants,  and other  obligations  of Seller  arising under this Agreement with
respect to all Contracts  shall continue and be enforceable  with respect to any
such Replacement Contracts,  including,  but not limited to, the obligations and
conditions of Seller contained in Article II, the representations and warranties
contained in Article III hereof, the covenants of Seller contained in Article IV
hereof, and the repurchase and replacement obligations contained in this Article
V.

         Section  5.5       Repurchase  of Contracts.  Upon the  occurrence of a
Triggering  Event,  Seller may elect to repurchase any Contract  within the time
specified  in  this  Article  V.  The  purchase  price  for the  Contract  to be
repurchased  shall be the payoff  amount on the  Contract  plus all  accrued and
unpaid interest thereon,  less one-half of the unearned discount on the Contract
at the date of exchange.  In addition,  Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any
and all expenses  incurred by Purchaser with respect to such Contract.  Upon the
receipt by Purchaser of the  repurchase  price together with any expenses as set
forth in this  Section  5.5,  Purchaser  shall  promptly  deliver  to Seller the
Contract  to be  repurchased,  the  Contract  File  related  to the  repurchased
Contract,  and all other documents in the possession of Purchaser related to the
repurchased Contract.

         Section 5.6       Triggering Events.  For purposes of this Article V, a
 Triggering Event shall mean:

         (a)      a  breach  by  Seller  of  any  representation,  warranty,  or
covenant  contained in this  Agreement and such breach has not been cured in all
material  respects  within five (5) days of  Seller's  receipt of notice of such
breach from Purchaser; or

         (b)      if any  payment due under any  Contract  becomes  delinquent
for a period of thirty (30) days or more.

         Section   5.7       Timing   of  Seller's  Repurchase  and  Replacement
Obligations.  Seller must complete its  repurchase and  replacement  obligations
pursuant to this  Article V within five (5) days of the  expiration  of the cure
period set forth in Section 5.6(a) or within ten (10) days following the date at
which a Contract becomes delinquent for thirty (30) days as set forth in Section
5.6(b).

         Section  5.8       Right  and First  Option  to  Purchase  or  Exchange
Contracts.  Seller  hereby  agrees  that in the event and during  such time of a
default  by  Seller  under  the  terms  of this  Agreement,  including,  without
limitation,  the failure of Seller to timely  repurchase or replace any Contract
pursuant to this Article V, then, in such event,  Seller will not sell,  assign,
encumber,  or  otherwise  transfer  or  dispose  to any third  party any  retail
installment  sales  contract owned by Seller and secured by first priority liens
on automobiles and light-duty trucks unless Seller first offers such contract to
Purchaser either for (a) purchase at a price to be calculated in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement or (b) exchange in accordance with Section 5.2, with
such election to be made by Purchaser in Purchaser's sole discretion.  Purchaser
will have five (5) business days  following the  presentment of any contracts by
Seller to exercise the right and first option  granted  hereunder.  If Purchaser
notifies  Seller of its intent not to purchase or exchange such  contracts or if
Purchaser  fails to notify  Seller  of its  intention  within  such five (5) day
period,  Seller may sell, assign,  encumber, or otherwise transfer or dispose of
such  contracts  to any third party.  Seller  agrees and  acknowledges  that the
representations,  warranties, covenants, and other obligations of Seller arising
under  this  Agreement  with  respect to all  Contracts  shall  continue  and be
enforceable  with respect to any  contracts  purchased or exchanged by Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 5.8, including, but not limited to, the obligations and
conditions of Seller contained in Article II, the representations and warranties
contained in Article III hereof, the covenants of Seller contained in Article IV
hereof, and the repurchase and replacement obligations contained in this Article
V.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                 Indemnification

         Seller hereby agrees to protect, defend,  indemnify, and hold Purchaser
and its assigns and their respective attorneys, accountants,  employees, agents,
officers,  and  directors  harmless  from and against  all losses,  liabilities,
damages, judgments, claims, counterclaims,  demands, actions, proceedings, costs
and expenses (including  reasonable attorneys' fees) of every kind and character
resulting  from,  relating  to,  or  arising  out  of  this  Agreement  and  the
transactions contemplated hereby including,  without limitation, those resulting
from,  relating  to, or arising out of (a) the  inaccuracy,  nonfulfillment,  or
breach of any representation,  warranty,  covenant,  or agreement made by Seller
herein or in the documents  described in Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 hereof,  (b)
any legal  action,  including any  counterclaim,  to the extent it is based upon
alleged facts that, if true,  would  constitute a breach of any  representation,
warranty,  covenant,  or  agreement  made by Seller  herein or in the  documents
described in Section 2.4 or Section 2.5 hereof,  (c) any actions or omissions of
Seller or any employee or agent of Seller, or any negligent, reckless or willful
misconduct of Seller or any employee or agent of Seller,  occurring prior to the
Cut-Off Date with respect to any  Contract or the Financed  Vehicle,  or (d) the
violation  or claim of  violation  of any of the  State's  laws by Seller or any
person acting for or on behalf of Seller.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                            Miscellaneous Provisions

         Section 7.1       Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by Seller  and  Purchaser  only by written  agreement  signed by Seller and
Purchaser.

         Section  7.2.      Disputes.  In the event of a dispute  regarding  the
terms of this Agreement,  the breach of any representation or warranty contained
herein,  or any  matter  arising  hereunder,  if  Seller  and  Purchaser  cannot
otherwise agree, the matter shall be submitted to binding  arbitration under the
Commercial Rules of the American  Arbitration  Association before an independent
qualified expert in Dallas, Texas. Purchaser and Seller agree that an arbitrator
may,  in  addition  to  any  other  remedy  at law or  equity,  award  punitive,
consequential, or special damages against a party for any claim, controversy, or
dispute arising under or in any way relating to this Agreement,  whether arising
in equity, contract, or tort (including, without limitation, any claim for fraud
or negligence).

         Section     7.3       Injunctive    Relief;    Specific    Performance.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  terms of  Section  7.2,  Purchaser  and  Seller
acknowledge  and agree that the failure of any party to perform  its  agreements
and covenants  under this Agreement will cause  irreparable  injury to the other
party for which  damages,  even if  available,  will not be an adequate  remedy.

                                       87

<PAGE>

Accordingly, each party hereby consents and agrees to the issuance of injunctive
relief  by any  court of law of  competent  jurisdiction  (a) in the  event of a
dispute regarding the terms of the Agreement,  the breach of any representation,
warranty,  or  covenant  contained  in  the  Agreement,  or any  other  dispute,
controversy,  or claim between the Purchaser and Seller  arising under or in any
way related to the Agreement or the transactions  contemplated thereby or (b) to
compel specific  performance of such party's  obligations and to the granting by
any court of the remedy of specific  performance of its  obligations  under this
Agreement.

         Section  7.4       Remedies.  Purchaser  and Seller  agree that (a) all
rights and remedies  under this Agreement are cumulative and that no election or
exercise of any right or remedy will be deemed an  exclusion  of any other right
or  remedy  and (b)  unless  expressly  stated,  no right or remedy  under  this
Agreement will be deemed a limitation on any other right or remedy.

         Section   7.5       Further   Assurances.   In  order   to   facilitate
enforcement  of  Purchaser's  rights  hereunder with respect to any Contract and
Financed Vehicle,  Seller shall,  promptly after the request by Purchaser or its
assigns,  and at  Seller's  expense,  do and  perform  or  cause  to be done and
performed every  reasonable act and thing necessary or advisable to carry out to
the intent of this  Agreement  (including,  without  limitation,  ensuring  that
Purchaser has the right and ability to enforce  payment and  performance  of the
Contracts).  Seller hereby grants an irrevocable  power of attorney coupled with
an interest to Purchaser for the specific  purpose of exercising  all rights and
remedies  Seller  would  have with  respect  to the  Contracts,  titles to motor
vehicles serving as collateral, and the Financed Vehicles securing them, but for
sale of the Contracts to Purchaser.  Seller hereby authorizes  Purchaser to send
the  notice  letter  to  Obligors  informing  them  of  the  existence  of  this
transaction and the assignment of the applicable Contract.

         Section   7.6       Counterparts.   This   Agreement  may  be  executed
simultaneously  in any number of counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed to
be an original,  and all of such counterparts  shall constitute one and the same
Agreement.

         Section  7.7       Survival.  The  obligations  of Seller and Purchaser
under this Agreement,  including,  but not limited to, the  representations  and
warranties  set forth in Article III, the covenants set forth in Article IV, the
repurchase  and  replacement  obligations  set  forth  in  Article  V,  and  the
obligations  of  Seller  contained  in  Article  VI  shall  survive  the sale of
Contracts to Purchaser.

         Section  7.8       Notices.  All demands,  notices,  and communications
hereunder  shall be in  writing  and shall be deemed to have been duly  given if
delivered  personally,  delivered by a national overnight  delivery service,  or
mailed by first class mail,  postage  prepaid,  to the address of each party set
forth on the signature  page of this  Agreement,  which address is the principal
place of business of such party unless otherwise indicated.

         Section 7.9       Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the
covenants,  agreements,  provisions,  or terms of this  Agreement  shall be held
invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements,  provisions,
or terms shall be deemed  severable  from the remaining  covenants,  agreements,
provisions,  or terms of this  Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity
or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

         Section  7.10      No  Partnership.  Nothing herein  contained shall be
deemed or  construed to create a  co-partnership  or joint  venture  between the
parties hereto.

         Section  7.11      Governing  Law. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the obligations,  rights, and
remedies of the parties  hereunder  shall be determined in accordance  with such
laws without  giving  effect to the conflict of laws  principles  thereof.  This
Agreement is performable in Dallas County,  Texas, which is proper venue for all
legal  proceedings.  Each of the  parties  expressly  consents  to the  personal
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Texas.

         Section  7.12      Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding  upon Seller and  Purchaser  and their  respective

                                       88

<PAGE>

successors  and  assigns;  provided,  however,  that this  Agreement  may not be
assigned by Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Purchaser may
sell,  assign,  hypothecate,  pledge,  or otherwise convey this Agreement or any
Contract purchased hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller.

         Section  7.13.     Attorneys'  Fees and Costs.  If  attorneys'  fees or
other costs are  incurred to secure  performance  of any  obligations  under the
Agreement, or to establish damages for the breach thereof or to obtain any other
appropriate  relief at law or equity,  whether by way of prosecution or defense,
the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs incurred in connection therewith.
