between  Guaranty Bank  (“Customer) with it’s chief executive office located at 
Austin, TX  and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the “Bank”), with its principal office

Customer in such deposit account(s) are subject to withdrawal and charge by Customer at any time
and from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof; and



     WHEREAS, Customer desires to transfer amounts from and to deposit account(s) through various

ARTICLE I




WIRE TRANSFERS




     SECTION 1.1. WIRE TRANSFER TRANSACTIONS. Upon written, facsimile, electronic transmission,
telephonic, or other such instructions from Customer, the Bank shall with respect to any wire
transfer request of Customer that the Bank accepts execute wire transfers of funds from the deposit
account(s) of Customer and shall charge the deposit account(s) of Customer for the amount of such
wire transfers, even if the charge to the deposit account(s) of Customer creates or increases an
overdraft in such deposit account(s). The authority to make a request for wire transfer of funds
and to issue other directions and instructions to the Bank shall be presumed if the person making
the request uses the security measures set forth in the Bank’s Security Access Circular as in
effect from time to time. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein, the Bank shall not
be liable for any damages or any other consequences for any refusal to honor any instruction for a
wire refusal to honor any instruction for a wire transfer of funds or related act if the Bank in
good faith is unable to satisfy itself that the instruction was given by an authorized agent of
Customer. Nothing herein shall obligate the Bank to make any wire transfer prohibited by law.

     SECTION 1.2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRE TRANSFERS. Within twenty-four (24) hours of the Bank’s
acting upon Customer’s instruction for a wire transfer of funds from the deposit account(s) of
Customer, the Bank shall make information available to Customer through electronic transmission
relating to said wire transfer. If necessary, Customer may request in writing that the Bank provide
Customer within three (3) banking days of such transactions a written advice or confirmation in
such other form as may be acceptable to the Bank and Customer.



     SECTION 1.3 SECURITY PROCEDURES WHEN CUSTOMER IS REQUESTING A WIRE TRANSFER.



     (a) The Bank’s Security Access Circular, as in effect from time to time, will govern the
security procedures for outgoing wire transfer requests made by Customer.



     (b) The Bank shall verify certain outgoing wire transfer requests from Customer, the
beneficiary of which is a third party and which has not been formatted in accordance with the
Bank’s procedures, by telephoning the Authorized Individual of Customer that initiated the request.
If the individual receiving the callback confirmation is unable to verify the wire transfer
request, the wire transfer request will not be accepted by the Bank.



     (c) An “Authorized Individual” for purposes of this Agreement is an employee or agent of
Customer who is listed on the Bank’s appropriate signature card or other authorizing document for
wire transfers.



     (d) When Customer wishes to cancel an outgoing wire transfer, whether repetitive or
nonrepetitive, Customer shall notify the Bank immediately via telephone. All Customer cancellations
will be subject to the same identification procedures used when initiating a wire transfer request.
If the cancellation request is received by the Bank at a time and in a manner affording the Bank a
reasonable opportunity to act prior to the Bank’s execution of Customer’s wire transfer request,
the Bank will act on Customer’s request to cancel the wire transfer request upon verification of
the caller’s authority. In the event Customer’s cancellation request is received after execution of
Customer’s wire transfer request, the Bank will initiate a Wire Transfer Service Request requesting
a cancellation as instructed by Customer. The “Wire Transfer Service Request” is an administrative
wire that will be executed by the Bank in accordance with existing Federal Reserve System rules and
regulations. The Bank’s execution of a Wire Transfer Service Request does not constitute the Bank’s
acceptance of Customer’s cancellation request. Under no circumstances is the Bank liable to
Customer for cancellations acted upon by the Bank after execution of Customer’s original wire
transfer request. The Customer agrees to reimburse the Bank for any losses and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, that the Bank incurs in connection with Customer’s cancellation
request.



     (e) In the event the Bank rejects an outgoing wire transfer request, the Bank shall provide
notice of such rejection to Customer by telephonically notifying an Authorized Individual. In the
event the Bank is unable to so notify Customer, the Bank shall notify Customer within a reasonable
time via the best means available under the circumstances.



     SECTION 1.4. PROCEDURES WHEN CUSTOMER IS THE BENEFICIARY OF A WIRE TRANSFER. If the incoming
wire transfer instructs payment to a specified account of Customer, notice of incoming funds to
Customer will be deemed to have occurred when the Bank has credited such account of Customer and
made such information available on the Bank’s electronic information systems or by other written
advice or confirmation as may be requested by Customer in accordance with the terms hereof. The
Bank will reject an incoming wire transfer received for the benefit of Customer where such incoming
wire transfer fails to contain Customer’s valid account number. In the event the Bank rejects an
incoming wire transfer received for the benefit of Customer, the Bank shall send the incoming wire
transfer back to the sending institution.

     SECTION 1.5. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. All wire transfers sent or received on Customer’s behalf
shall be subject to and governed by this Agreement and the Bank’s policies, bulletins, schedules,
guides, circulars, the Bank’s website at www.fhlb.com, and the Bank’s private internet network made
available to Customer (as such are in effect from time to time, collectively, the “Bank Rules”).
Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of assigned security measures and
procedures and any and all losses resulting from any breach of the confidentiality of such assigned
security measures and procedures will be the sole responsibility of Customer. Any suspected breach
of the confidentiality of assigned security measures and procedures will be reported immediately by
Customer to the wire transfer department of the Bank.



     SECTION 1.6. INDEMNIFICATION; STANDARD OF CARE, AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. If the Bank acts
with ordinary care, acts in good faith, and acts in accordance with Customer’s instructions, Bank
will have no liability to Customer and Customer will indemnify, defend and hold the Bank harmless
against any loss, cost, liability, or expense, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees,
arising out of any claim by a third party alleging that a wire transfer requested by Customer
contravenes or compromises the rights, title, or interest of any third party, or contravenes any
law, rule, regulation, ordinance, court order, or other mandate or prohibition with the force or
effect of law. Bank will be deemed to have acted with ordinary care if its action or failure to act
has been in conformity with the Bank’s prescribed procedures and such procedures do not vary
unreasonably from general banking uses and practices not disapproved by any provision of the Texas
Uniform Commercial Code or in the following circumstances:



     (a) when an act or omission, whether or not authorized, of an employee, agent, or contractor
of Customer contributed to the occurrence of the loss or cost;



     (b) when a wire transfer of funds was made by the Bank upon written instructions by an
Authorized Individual;



     (c)  where Customer’s failure to examine information provided to Customer under
Section 1.2 or any other statements (as defined in Section 2. I), whether furnished electronically
or otherwise, by the Bank and to notify the Bank of discrepancies, within the time periods
specified in Section 1.2 or Section 2.1, as applicable, contributed to the loss or cost;



     (d) where the loss or cost on a wire transfer arises from a defective endorsementor a material
alteration or a Customer error contained in the wire transfer instructions;



     (e) where the loss or cost on a wire transfer arises out of a defective facsimile signature
which, on its face, appears to be identical to Customer’s genuine facsimile signature; or the
Bank’s process for determining the genuineness of Customer’s signature as drawer, whether in manual
or facsimile form, was consistent with the course of conduct in the banking industry or the
security measures set forth in the Bank’s Security Access Circular.



     The Bank’s liability to Customer for any claim by Customer involving the Bank’s provision of
wire transfer services will be limited to actual losses or costs incurred by Customer; provided,
however, that such liability will not include consequential or other damages, and provided further
that the amount of damages will be limited to the face amount of the wire transfers at issue. If a
wire transfer in the name of Customer accepted by the Bank was not authorized by Customer, the
liability of the parties will be governed by the applicable provisions of 4A of the Texas Uniform
Commercial Code. The Bank will not be liable to Customer for any failure to perform properly the
Bank’s duties hereunder if such failure is the result of war, insurrection, weather, or other
circumstances beyond the Bank’s control. Whenever compensation in the form of interest is payable
by the Bank to Customer pursuant to this Article I, such compensation will be payable at the rate
specified in Section 2.9.



     In the event the Bank rejects or fails to execute a wire transfer request without giving
notice thereof as provided in Section 1.3, the Bank shall compensate Customer for the use of funds
at the rate specified in




					
	 	 	 	 	 
	5/2005
	 	Master Transactions Agreement
	 	Page 3 of 9






 









 







Section 2.9 if, on the execution date of the wire transfer request, there was a sufficient
withdrawable credit balance in Customer’s deposit account(s) to pay for the wire transfer request.
Compensation shall be computed based on the number of days elapsing after the execution date to the
day Customer receives notice or learns that the wire transfer request was not executed, counting
the final day of the period as an elapsed day. If the withdrawable credit balance
during that period falls below the amount of the wire transfer request, the amount of interest will
be reduced accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no compensation will be due under this
section if Customer’s deposit account(s) is an interest- bearing account. No compensation will be
due hereunder for any funds withdrawn by Customer from Customer’s deposit account(s).



     SECTION 1.7. CREDIT FOR WIRE TRANSFERS OF FUNDS RECEIVED. Wire transfer of funds received by
the Bank for the account of Customer shall be credited to the deposit account(s) of Customer at
such times as the Bank may determine pursuant to the Bank Rules, including, without limitation
rules in respect of notification time cutoffs and cutoff times for investable credits.



     SECTION 1.8. FEDWZRE AND APPLICABLE RULES. Each payment order or cancellation thereof may be
furthered by any bank by use of the funds transfer system of the Federal Reserve Banks (“Fedwire”).
The rights and obligations of the Bank and Customer with respect to any request for a wire
transfer, any part of which is carried out through the use of Fedwire, will be governed by any
applicable laws, the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system, and the
operating circulars of the Federal Reserve Banks in effect from time to time. Requests for wire
transfers, or cancellations thereof, carried out through a funds transfer system will be governed
by all applicable funds transfer system rules, whether or not the Bank is a member of the system.
Customer acknowledges that the Bank’s right to reverse, adjust, stop payment, or delay posting of
an executed wire transfer request is subject to the laws, regulations, circulars, and rules
described in this Section 1.8.



ARTICLE II




GENERAL DEPOSIT ACCOUNT MATTERS




     SECTION 2.1. REPORTS AND STATEMENTS OF ACCOUNT. The Bank shall provide Customer with various
confirmations, reports, and statements of account (“statements”) from time to time that identify
activity in the deposit account(s) of Customer. Customer shall promptly examine such statements and
notify the Bank of any alleged errors or defects in such statements, and Customer shall comply with
the following schedule with respect to the following types of statements. Within fourteen (14) days
of (a) receipt of a statement or (b) information relating to any activity in the clearing
account(s) of Customer becoming available to Customer on the Bank’s electronic information system,
Customer shall examine the statement and notify the Bank of any alleged errors or defects in such
statement or electronic information system information.



     In the event Customer fails to notify the Bank of any alleged errors or defects in such
statements or information within the aforementioned time period, Customer shall be precluded from
asserting any dispute or difference as to the statements so rendered or information so provided and
such statements or information shall be deemed conclusive and binding of all activity in the
deposit account(s) as against Customer. If at any time following the provision of any statement or
information from the Bank to Customer, the Bank shall discover any error or defect in any such
statement or information, the Bank is authorized, in it sole discretion, to correct any such error
or defect and to make any adjustment to such statement or information and to the deposit account(s)
of Customer in order to correct any such error or defect.



     SECTION 2.2. FEES AND CHARGES. Fees and charges for the maintenance and service of the




					
	 	 	 	 	 
	5/2005
	 	Master Transactions Agreement
	 	Page 4 of 9






 









 







deposit account(s), Customer’s Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance
premium assessments, both regular and special, examination fees of Customer, its holding company,
and affiliates, any other charges, fees, or amounts owing to the FDIC, the Office of Thrift
Supervision, or any Federal Home Loan Bank, interest and any other charges payable to the Bank on
outstanding advances or other credit extended to Customer, and transactions provided for in this
Agreement and any circular, bulletin, agreement, instrument, or document executed or delivered in
connection herewith may be made on such occasions and in such amounts as the Bank may specify from
time to time in the Bank Rules or other electronic transmissions heretofore or hereafter
established by the Bank. Such fees and charges may be made by the Bank whether such Customer
accounts are active or dormant. Customer hereby authorizes the Bank to deduct all fees and charges
from the deposit account(s) of Customer.



     SECTION 2.3. RIGHT OF SETOFF AND SECURITY AGREEMENT. To secure any and all indebtedness,
liability, or obligation of Customer to the Bank, however and whenever incurred or evidenced,
whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, Customer hereby assigns,
transfers, and pledges to the Bank, and grants to the Bank a security interest in all balances,
credits, deposits, moneys, and drafts now or hereafter in the deposit account(s) or any other
account that Customer may maintain with the Bank, and the Bank is authorized to charge all such
indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations against the deposit account(s), or any other account,
whether or not the same is then due, and the Bank is authorized to refuse to make any wire transfer
of funds, or to perform any other transaction provided for in this Agreement where the honoring,
accepting, making, or effecting of such transactions would result in there being insufficient
collected funds in the deposit account(s) to complete such transactions. The Bank shall notify
Customer, in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 2.1, of any actions taken
pursuant to this Section 2.3, but such notification shall not be a condition precedent to the right
of the Bank to take any such action.



     SECTION 2.4. OVERDRAFT CHARGES. If at any time Customer has an overall net negative collected
balance in a deposit account, the Bank is authorized to assess an overdraft charge and interest
fees in such amounts as may be established by the Bank from time to time. If Customer is notified
that a deposit account has been overdrawn at any time, Customer agrees, without negating the effect
of any other provisions of this Agreement, to deposit immediately available funds with the Bank to
return and maintain such deposit account to a positive collected balance. Any overdraft existing at
the close of a banking day is immediately due and payable without notice or demand.



     SECTION 2.5. ACCOUNT OPENING AND CLOSING. The Bank may close any deposit account and any other
account established hereunder at any time by sending the collected balance of funds in the deposit
account or any property in any other account, as the case may be, if any, therein to Customer
within five (5) banking days after the Bank gives notice of its intent to close the deposit account
or any other account (said notice to be effective on the date given), and the Bank shall not be
liable for dishonoring or refusing to accept any transaction provided for in this Agreement on or
after the effective date of such notice. The deposit account and all of the accounts shall be
deemed open at all times, unless notice is given by the Bank pursuant to the proceeding sentence of
this Section 2.5, or until the Bank actually receives written notice from Customer of its intent to
close said deposit account or any other account. In the event that Customer shall give written
notice of its intent to close any of its accounts with the Bank, said notice also shall instruct
the Bank with respect to the disposition of the collected balance of funds or other property, as
the case may be, that may be remaining in any of the accounts.



     SECTION 2.6. SERVICE OF PROCESS. Customer agrees that if the Bank receives any process,
summons, order, injunction, execution, restraint, writ, attachment, lien, or notice (hereinafter
referred to as “process”) which in the opinion of the Bank affects any deposit account or any other
account established




					
	 	 	 	 	 
	5/2005
	 	Master Transactions Agreement
	 	Page 5 of 9






 









 







hereunder, the Bank may, at its option and without liability, thereupon refuse to honor or to
accept any transaction provided for in this Agreement and may either hold the collected balances in
such account until the process is disposed of to the satisfaction of the Bank or pay the collected
balances as specified in such process.



     SECTION 2.7. AUTHORIZED PERSONS. The secretary, assistant secretary, cashier, or assistant
cashier of Customer shall from time to time after the execution of this Agreement certify to the
Bank on forms (which may be in written, electronic, or other form) specified by the Bank the names
and specimen signatures of the persons who are authorized to take any action with respect to any
matter provided for in this Agreement and all such persons shall be further authorized to perform
any other acts incident to carrying out the powers conferred on such persons upon receipt of such
forms by the Bank. The Bank may rely upon such certifications without inquiry or further
authorization and notwithstanding that the directed action may appear to benefit the person
directing the action. Such certifications are incorporated herein as part of this Agreement and
shall continue in effect until expressly revoked by Customer, notwithstanding the fact that
subsequent certifications may authorize other persons to act for and on behalf of Customer.



     SECTION 2.8. INTEREST. The Bank shall pay interest on the daily collected principal balances
of the deposit account(s) of Customer with the Bank at such rates as may be established in the Bank
Rules and notices published by the Bank from time to time. Such interest shall accrue daily and be
credited to the deposit account(s) of Customer as such time as the Bank may specify from time to
time.



     SECTION 2.9. INDEMNITY. Customer will indemnify the Bank for any loss or expense incurred
(including attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) resulting from the lack of authority of
Customer to make any of the applicable warranties on presentment and transfer of payment devices
provided for in Articles 3 and 4 of the UCC and any breach of such warranties.



ARTICLE III




TIME DEPOSITS




     SECTION 3.1. FORM OF TIME DEPOSIT. The Bank will accept time deposits of funds from
Customer for such maturities as may be requested by Customer and agreed to by the Bank. Upon the
making of a time deposit the Bank shall provide Customer with a written advice or confirmation, in
such form as the Bank may specify, of the terms and conditions of the acceptance by the Bank of
such time deposit within three (3) banking days thereof. Failure by Customer to give notice to the
Bank of any alleged dispute or defect in such advice or confirmation within three (3) banking days
of the receipt thereof shall constitute acknowledgement of and agreement with the terms and
conditions set forth in such advice or confirmation by Customer.



     SECTION 3.2 FEE FOR EARLY WITHDRAWAL. In the event Customer should cause in any manner an
early withdrawal of all or any of the amount in any time deposit, Customer shall be subject to an
early withdrawal fee in such amounts as may be established by the Bank from time to time. Customer
agrees that any such fee may be charged to the deposit account(s) of Customer with the Bank.
