                         Representations and Warranties

Section 4.1 Representations and Warranties of the Seller.

     (a)    The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of
the date of execution and delivery hereof, that:

            (1) The Seller is duly organized as a national banking association
     and is validly existing under the laws of the United States of America and
     is duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all business
     contemplated by this Agreement to be conducted by the Seller in any state
     in which a Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise not required under
     applicable law to effect such qualification and, in any event, is in
     compliance with the doing business laws of any such state, to the extent
     necessary to ensure its ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan and to
     perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance
     with the terms thereof.

            (2) The Seller has the requisite power and authority to sell each
     Mortgage Loan, and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and
     consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has duly
     authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Seller the execution,
     delivery and performance of this Agreement; and this Agreement, assuming
     the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties
     thereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller,
     enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except that
     (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
     moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors'
     rights generally or of creditors of depository institutions, the accounts
     of which are insured by the FDIC, and (b) the remedy of specific
     performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be
     subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before
     which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

            (3) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, the
     sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller under this Agreement, the
     consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement, and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms thereof are
     in the ordinary course of business of the Seller and will not (a) result in
     a material breach of any term or provision of the charter or by-laws of the
     Seller or (b) materially conflict with, result in a material breach,
     violation or acceleration of, or result in a material default under, the
     terms of any other material agreement or instrument to which the Seller is
     a party or by which it may be bound, or (c) constitute a material violation
     of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the Seller of any court,
     regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
     jurisdiction over the Seller; and the Seller is not in breach or violation
     of any material indenture or other material agreement or instrument, or in
     violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court, regulatory
     body, administrative

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

               agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it which
               breach or violation may materially impair the Seller's ability to
               perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement.

                    (4) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Seller's
               knowledge, threatened against the Seller that would prohibit the
               execution or delivery of, or performance under, this Agreement by
               the Seller.

               (b)  The Seller hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the
          Purchaser all of its rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans
          including, without limitation, the representations and warranties of
          FHHLC made pursuant to MLPA I, together with all rights of the Seller
          to require FHHLC to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or
          substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with MLPA I.

          It is understood and agreed that the obligation under MLPA I of FHHLC
to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against FHHLC
respecting such breach available to the Purchaser on its behalf.

          The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall
not be construed as a warranty or guaranty by the Seller as to the future
payments by any Mortgagor.

          It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 4.1 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to
the Purchaser hereunder.

                                    ARTICLE V
                                  Miscellaneous

          Section 5.1 Transfer Intended as Sale. It is the express intent of the
parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof in accordance with
GAAP and for regulatory purposes. It is, further, not the intention of the
parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof by the Seller to the
Purchaser. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be the property of the Seller or the
Purchaser, respectively, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or
deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of Texas and (ii) the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a
grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the
Mortgage Loans, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

          The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term
of the Agreement. The Seller and the Purchaser shall arrange for filing any
Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security
interest granted hereby.

          Section 5.2 Seller's Consent to Assignment. The Seller hereby
acknowledges the Purchaser's right to assign, transfer and convey all of the
Purchaser's rights under this Agreement to a third party and that the
representations and warranties made by FHHLC to the Seller pursuant to MLPA I
will, in the case of such assignment, transfer and conveyance, be for the
benefit of such third party. The Seller hereby consents to such assignment,
transfer and conveyance.

          Section 5.3 Specific Performance. Either party or its assignees may
enforce specific performance of this Agreement.

          Section 5.4 Notices. All notices, demands and requests that may be
given or that are required to be given hereunder shall be sent by United States

accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of Texas
applicable to agreements made and to be performed in the State of Texas and the
obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be determined in
accordance with such laws.

          Section 5.6 Acknowledgment of FHHLC. FHHLC hereby acknowledges the
