                  --------------------------------------------

          (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

          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

                  (3)  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
          Seller, the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller under this
          Agreement, the

<PAGE>

          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 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, which may be enforced solely
against FHHLC and not the Seller, 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

Purchaser hereunder.

                                  -------------

     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

                                      -6-

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

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
