            (3) The executed Proprietary Lease;

            (5)  The  executed  UCC-1  financing   statement  with  evidence  of
            recording  thereon  which have been filed in all places  required to
            perfect the Seller's interest in the Coop Shares and the Proprietary

            financing  statements  required by state law,  evidencing a complete
            and unbroken line from the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of
            recording thereon (or in a form suitable for recordation).

      In the event that in connection  with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS
Mortgage Loan the Seller cannot  deliver (i) the original  recorded  Mortgage or
(ii) all interim recorded assignments  satisfying the requirements of clause (b)
or (c) above, respectively,  concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof
because such document or documents  have not been  returned from the  applicable
public  recording  office,  the  Seller  shall  promptly  deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf such  original  Mortgage
or such  interim  assignment,  as the case may be, with  evidence  of  recording
indicated  thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording  office,  or a
copy thereof,  certified, if appropriate,  by the relevant recording office, but
in no event  shall any such  delivery  of the  original  Mortgage  and each such
interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording  office,  be made  later than one year  following  the  Closing  Date;
provided,  however,  in the event the Seller is unable to deliver or cause to be
delivered by such date each Mortgage and each such interim  assignment by reason
of the fact that any such  documents  have not been returned by the  appropriate
recording office, or, in the case of each such interim  assignment,  because the
related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate  recording office, the
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered  such  documents to the Trustee or
the Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in
any event,  within 720 days  following  the  Closing  Date;  provided,  further,
however,  that the  Seller  shall not be  required  to provide  an  original  or
duplicate lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) if the Seller
delivers an Alternative Title Product in lieu thereof.  The Seller shall forward
or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee or the  Custodian on its behalf (i) from
time  to  time  additional  original  documents   evidencing  an  assumption  or
modification  of a Mortgage  Loan and (ii) any other  documents  required  to be
delivered by the Seller to the Trustee.  In the event that the original Mortgage
is not  delivered  and in  connection  with the  payment in full of the  related
Mortgage Loan and the public  recording  office  requires the  presentation of a
"lost instruments  affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent document,  because
only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction
or  reconveyance,  the Seller shall  execute and deliver or cause to be executed
and delivered such a document to the public recording  office. In the case where
a public recording office retains the original  recorded Mortgage or in the case
where a Mortgage is lost after  recordation in a public  recording  office,  the
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian on
its behalf a copy of such Mortgage  certified by such public recording office to
be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.

      In addition,  in the event that in  connection  with any Mortgage Loan the
Seller  cannot  deliver  or cause to be  delivered  the  original  or  duplicate
original  lender's title policy (together with all riders  thereto),  satisfying
the  requirements  of clause  (v) above,  concurrently  with the  execution  and
delivery  hereof  because the related  Mortgage has not been  returned  from the
applicable public recording  office,  the Seller shall promptly deliver or cause
to be delivered to the Trustee or the  Custodian on its behalf such  original or
duplicate original lender's title policy (together with all riders thereto) upon
receipt  thereof from the applicable  title  insurer,  but in no event shall any
such  delivery of the original or duplicate  original  lender's  title policy be
made later than one year following the Closing Date;  provided,  however, in the
event the Seller is unable to deliver or cause to be  delivered by such date the
original or duplicate  original  lender's title policy (together with all riders
thereto)  because the related  Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate
recording  office,  the  Seller  shall  deliver  or cause to be  delivered  such
documents to the Trustee or the  Custodian on its behalf as promptly as possible
upon receipt  thereof and, in any event,  within 720 days  following the Closing
Date.

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,  within thirty
days after the Closing Date,  the Seller shall either (i) deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Trustee or the  Custodian  on its behalf the  Mortgage  File as
required  pursuant to this Section 3.1 for each Delay Delivery  Mortgage Loan or
(ii) (A)  substitute or cause to be  substituted a Substitute  Mortgage Loan for
the Delay  Delivery  Mortgage Loan or (B)  repurchase or cause to be repurchased
the Delay Delivery  Mortgage Loan,  which  substitution  or repurchase  shall be
accomplished  in the manner and subject to the  conditions  set forth in Section
4.1 (treating each Delay Delivery  Mortgage Loan as a Deleted  Mortgage Loan for
purposes of such Section 4.1),  provided,  however,  that if the Seller fails to
deliver  a  Mortgage  File for any  Delay  Delivery  Mortgage  Loan  within  the
thirty-day period provided in the prior sentence,  the Seller shall use its best
reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected a substitution, rather than
a repurchase of, such Deleted  Mortgage Loan and provided  further that the cure
period  provided  for in  Section  4.1  hereof  shall not  apply to the  initial
delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery  Mortgage Loan, but rather
the Seller shall have five (5)  Business  Days to cure or cause to be cured such
failure to deliver.

            insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating
            to  creditors'  rights  generally  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  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.

                  (5) The Seller is a member of MERS in good standing,  and will
            comply in all material  respects  with the rules and  procedures  of
            MERS in connection with the servicing of the MERS Mortgage Loans for
            as long as such Mortgage Loans are registered with MERS.

      (b)   The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth
            in Schedule B hereto to the Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, or if
            so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.

                                      -9-

      (c)   Upon  discovery  by  either of the  parties  hereto of a breach of a
            representation  or warranty  made pursuant to Schedule B hereto that
            materially  and adversely  affects the interests of the Purchaser in
            any  Mortgage  Loan,  the party  discovering  such breach shall give
            prompt  notice  thereof  to  the  other  party.  The  Seller  hereby
            covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its
            receipt  of written  notice  from the  Purchaser  of a breach of any
            representation  or warranty made pursuant to Schedule B hereto which
            materially  and adversely  affects the interests of the Purchaser in
            any  Mortgage  Loan,  it shall  cure  such  breach  in all  material
            respects,  and if such  breach is not so cured,  shall,  (i) if such
            90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing
            Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the
            pools of mortgages listed on Schedule B hereto and substitute in its
            place a Substitute  Mortgage  Loan, in the manner and subject to the
            conditions  set  forth  in  this  Section;  or (ii)  repurchase  the
            affected  Mortgage Loan or Mortgage  Loans from the Purchaser at the
            Mortgage  Loan  Purchase  Price in the manner set forth below.  With
            respect to the  representations  and  warranties  described  in this
            Section which are made to the best of the Seller's knowledge,  if it
            is  discovered  by  either  the  Seller  or the  Purchaser  that the
            substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such
            inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related
            Mortgage   Loan  or  the   interests  of  the   Purchaser   therein,
            notwithstanding  the Seller's lack of knowledge  with respect to the
            substance of such representation or warranty,  such inaccuracy shall
            be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or warranty.

            With respect to any  Substitute  Mortgage Loan or Loans,  the Seller
      shall  deliver  to the  Trustee  or to the  Custodian  on its  behalf  the
      Mortgage Note, the Mortgage,  the related assignment of the Mortgage,  and
      such other  documents and  agreements as are required by Section 3.1, with
      the  Mortgage  Note  endorsed  and the  Mortgage  assigned  as required by
      Section 3.1. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month
      after the Determination  Date for such month.  Scheduled Payments due with
      respect to Substitute  Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be
      retained by the Seller.  Upon such substitution,  the Substitute  Mortgage
      Loan or Loans  shall be  subject  to the  terms of this  Agreement  in all
      respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such
      Substitute  Mortgage Loan or Loans,  as of the date of  substitution,  the
      representations  and  warranties  made  pursuant to Schedule B hereto with
      respect to such Mortgage Loan.

            It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement
      of the Seller to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which
      a breach has occurred and is continuing  shall  constitute the sole remedy
      against 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
forth in this Section 4.1 shall  survive the sale of the  Mortgage  Loans to the
Purchaser hereunder.

                                  Miscellaneous

      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.

      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 the Seller to the Purchaser  pursuant to this Agreement 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.

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

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

                                   SCHEDULE A

                              [BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE]

                      [Available Upon Request From Trustee]

                                   SCHEDULE B

             Representations and Warranties as to the Mortgage Loans

      First  Horizon  Home Loan  Corporation  (the  "Seller")  hereby  makes the
representations  and  warranties  set forth in this  Schedule  B on which  First
Horizon Asset Securities Inc. (the "Purchaser") relies in accepting the Mortgage
Loans.  Such  representations  and  warranties  speak  as of the  execution  and
delivery of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,  dated as of November 30, 2005
(the "MLPA"),  between First Horizon Home Loan Corporation,  as seller,  and the
Purchaser  and as of the Closing  Date,  or if so  specified  herein,  as of the
Cut-off Date or date of origination of the Mortgage Loans, but shall survive the
sale,  transfer,  and  assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser and any
subsequent  sale,  transfer and  assignment  by the  Purchaser to a third party.
Capitalized  terms used but not otherwise  defined in this Schedule B shall have
the  meanings  ascribed  thereto  in the  MLPA  or  the  Pooling  and  Servicing
Agreement,  dated as of November 1, 2005, between First Horizon Asset Securities
Inc., as depositor, First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, as master servicer, and
The Bank of New York, as trustee.

      (1)   The information set forth on Schedule A to the MLPA, with respect to
            each Mortgage  Loan is true and correct in all material  respects as
            of the Closing Date.

      (2)   Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged
            Property subject only to (a) the lien of nondelinquent  current real
            property taxes and assessments and liens or interests  arising under
            or as a result of any  federal,  state or local law,  regulation  or
            ordinance relating to hazardous wastes or hazardous  substances and,
            if the related Mortgaged Property is a unit in a condominium project
            or Planned Unit  Development,  any lien for common charges permitted
            by statute or homeowner association fees, (b) covenants,  conditions
            and  restrictions,  rights of way,  easements  and other  matters of
            public  record as of the date of  recording of such  Mortgage,  such
            exceptions   appearing  of  record  being  generally  acceptable  to
            mortgage  lending  institutions  in the  area  wherein  the  related
            Mortgaged  Property  is located  or  specifically  reflected  in the
            appraisal  made in connection  with the  origination  of the related
            Mortgage  Loan,  and (c) other matters to which like  properties are
            commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits
            of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage.

      (3)   Immediately  prior to the  assignment  of the Mortgage  Loans to the
            Purchaser,  the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of,
            each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge,  lien,  encumbrance
            or security interest and had full right and authority, subject to no
            interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to
            sell and assign the same pursuant to this Agreement.

      (4)   As of the date of origination  of each Mortgage  Loan,  there was no
            delinquent  tax or  assessment  lien  against the related  Mortgaged
            Property.

                                      B-1
<PAGE>

      (5)   There is no valid offset,  defense or  counterclaim  to any Mortgage
            Note or Mortgage,  including the  obligation of the Mortgagor to pay
            the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note.

      (6)   There are no mechanics'  liens or claims for work, labor or material
            affecting  any Mortgaged  Property  which are or may be a lien prior
            to, or equal with, the lien of such Mortgage, except those which are
            insured  against by the title  insurance  policy referred to in item
            (11) below.

      (7)   To the best of the Seller's  knowledge,  no  Mortgaged  Property has
            been  materially  damaged  by water,  fire,  earthquake,  windstorm,
            flood,  tornado or similar  casualty  (excluding  casualty  from the
            presence of hazardous  wastes or hazardous  substances,  as to which
            the Seller makes no  representation)  so as to affect  adversely the
            value  of the  related  Mortgaged  Property  as  security  for  such
            Mortgage Loan.  With respect to the  representations  and warranties
            contained within this item (7) that are made to the knowledge or the
            best  knowledge  of the  Seller  or as to which  the  Seller  has no
            knowledge,  if it is  discovered  that  the  substance  of any  such
            representation   and  warranty  is  inaccurate  and  the  inaccuracy
            materially and adversely  affects the value of the related  Mortgage
            Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser, then notwithstanding
            the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such
            representation  and  warranty  being  inaccurate  at  the  time  the
            representation  and  warranty  was made,  such  inaccuracy  shall be
            deemed a breach of the  applicable  representation  and warranty and
            the Seller  shall take such action  described  in Section  4.1(c) of
            this Agreement in respect of such Mortgage Loan.

      (8)   Each Mortgage Loan at origination  complied in all material respects
            with applicable local,  state and federal laws,  including,  without
            limitation,  usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate settlement
            procedures,  truth-in-lending  and disclosure laws and  specifically
            applicable  predatory and abusive lending laws, or any noncompliance
            does not have a material  adverse effect on the value of the related
            Mortgage Loan.

      (9)   No  Mortgage  Loan is a "high cost loan" as defined by the  specific
            applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.

      (10)  Except as reflected in a written  document  contained in the related
            Mortgage  File,  the Seller has not  modified  the  Mortgage  in any
            material respect; satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage
            in whole or in part;  released  the  related  Mortgaged  Property in
            whole or in part from the lien of such  Mortgage;  or  executed  any
            instrument of release,  cancellation,  modification  or satisfaction
            with respect thereto.

      (11)  A lender's  policy of title  insurance  together  with a condominium
            endorsement and extended coverage endorsement,  if applicable, in an
            amount at least equal to the Cut-off Date Principal  Balance of each
            such  Mortgage  Loan or a commitment  (binder) to issue the same was
            effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan, each
            such policy is valid and  remains in full force and  effect,  or, in
            lieu thereof, an Alternative Title Product.

                                      B-2
<PAGE>

      (12)  To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all of the improvements which
            were included for the purpose of determining  the appraised value of
            the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building
            restriction lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining
            properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property, unless such failure
            to be wholly within such  boundaries and  restriction  lines or such
            encroachment, as the case may be, does not have a material effect on
            the value of such Mortgaged Property.

      (13)  To the best of the Seller's knowledge, as of the date of origination
            of each Mortgage  Loan, no  improvement  located on or being part of
            the Mortgaged  Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law
            or  regulation  unless  such  violation  would  not have a  material
            adverse effect on the value of the related  Mortgaged  Property.  To
            the best of the Seller's  knowledge,  all inspections,  licenses and
            certificates  required  to be made or  issued  with  respect  to all
            occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the
            use  and  occupancy  of the  same,  including  but  not  limited  to
            certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting  certificates,  have
            been made or obtained from the appropriate  authorities,  unless the
            lack thereof would not have a material  adverse  effect on the value
            of such Mortgaged Property.

      (14)  The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine,  and each is
            the  legal,  valid and  binding  obligation  of the  maker  thereof,
            enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law.

      (15)  The proceeds of the  Mortgage  Loans have been fully  disbursed  and
            there is no requirement for future advances thereunder.

      (16)  The related Mortgage contains  customary and enforceable  provisions
            which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof  adequate
            for the realization  against the Mortgaged  Property of the benefits
            of the security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated
            as a deed of  trust,  by  trustee's  sale,  and  (ii)  otherwise  by
            judicial foreclosure.

      (17)  With  respect  to each  Mortgage  constituting  a deed of  trust,  a
            trustee,  duly qualified under  applicable law to serve as such, has
            been  properly  designated  and  currently so serves and is named in
            such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by
            the holder of the  Mortgage to the trustee  under the deed of trust,
            except in  connection  with a  trustee's  sale after  default by the
            Mortgagor.

      (18)  As of  the  Closing  Date,  the  improvements  upon  each  Mortgaged
            Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy
            with a  generally  acceptable  carrier  that  provides  for fire and
            extended  coverage  and  coverage  for  such  other  hazards  as are
            customarily required by institutional single family mortgage lenders
            in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located,  and the Seller
            has  received no notice that any  premiums  due and payable  thereon
            have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor  thereunder
            to maintain  all such  insurance  including  flood  insurance at the
            Mortgagor's cost and expense.  Anything to the contrary in this item
            (18) notwithstanding, no breach of this item (18) shall be deemed to
            give  rise  to  any  obligation  of  the  Seller  to  repurchase  or
            substitute  for such affected  Mortgage Loan or Loans so long as the
            Seller maintains a blanket policy.

      (19)  If at the time of  origination  of each Mortgage  Loan,  the related
            Mortgaged  Property  was in an area then  identified  in the Federal
            Register  by the  Federal  Emergency  Management  Agency  as  having
            special flood hazards,  a flood  insurance  policy in a form meeting
            the then-current  requirements of the Flood Insurance Administration
            is in  effect  with  respect  to  such  Mortgaged  Property  with  a
            generally acceptable carrier.

      (20)  To the  best  of the  Seller's  knowledge,  there  is no  proceeding
            pending or threatened for the total or partial  condemnation  of any
            Mortgaged Property, nor is such a proceeding currently occurring.

      (21)  To best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no material event which,
            with the  passage of time or with notice and the  expiration  of any
            grace or cure  period,  would  constitute  a  material  non-monetary
            default,  breach,  violation  or event  of  acceleration  under  the
            Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and the Seller has not waived
            any material  non-monetary  default,  breach,  violation or event of
            acceleration.

      (22)  Any leasehold  estate  securing a Mortgage Loan has a stated term at
            least as long as the term of the related Mortgage Loan.

      (23)  Each  Mortgage   Loan  was  selected  from  among  the   outstanding
            fixed-rate  one-  to  four-family  mortgage  loans  in the  Seller's
            portfolio  at the Closing Date as to which the  representations  and
            warranties made with respect to the Mortgage Loans set forth in this
            Schedule  B can be  made.  No such  selection  was  made in a manner
            intended    to    adversely    affect   the    interests    of   the
            Certificateholders.

      (24)  The Mortgage Loans provide for the full  amortization  of the amount
            financed over a series of monthly payments.

      (25)  At  origination,  substantially  all of the Mortgage Loans in Pool I
            and Pool II had stated  terms to  maturity of 30 years and 15 years,
            respectively.

      (26)  Scheduled  monthly  payments made by the  Mortgagors on the Mortgage
            Loans  either  earlier or later than their Due Dates will not affect
            the  amortization  schedule  or  the  relative  application  of  the
            payments to principal and interest.

      (27)  Approximately  1.95% and 5.78% of the  Mortgage  Loans in Pool I and
            Pool II,  respectively,  contain a prepayment penalty The Mortgagors
            may prepay all the other Mortgage Loans at any time without penalty.

                                      B-4
<PAGE>

      (28)  Most of the Mortgage Loans are jumbo mortgage loans that have Stated
            Principal  Balances at origination  that exceed the then  applicable
            limitations for purchase by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

      (29)  Each  Mortgage  Loan in the Pool I and Pool II was  originated on or
            after February 11, 2005 and July 12, 2005, respectively.

      (30)  The latest  stated  maturity  date of any Mortgage Loan in Pool I is
            December 1, 2035,  and the earliest is November 1, 2025.  The latest
            stated  maturity date of any Mortgage Loan in Pool II is November 1,
            2020, and the earliest is October 1, 2015.

      (31)  No Mortgage Loan was delinquent  more than 30 days as of the Cut-off
            Date.

      (32)  No Mortgage Loan had a  Loan-to-Value  Ratio at  origination of more
            than 95%.  Generally,  each Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio
            at origination of greater than 80% is covered by a Primary Insurance
            Policy issued by a mortgage  insurance company that is acceptable to
            Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

      (33)  Each Mortgage Loan  constitutes  a "qualified  mortgage"  within the
            meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

      (34)  No  Mortgage  Loan is a "high cost loan" as defined by the  specific
            applicable  local,  state or federal  predatory and abusive  lending
            laws.  In  addition,  no  Mortgage  Loan is a "High  Cost Loan" or a
            "Covered Loan", as applicable (as such terms are defined in the then
            current  Standard & Poor's  LEVELS(R)  Glossary which is now Version
            5.6c  Revised,  Appendix E) and no Mortgage  Loan  originated  on or
            after  October  1, 2002  through  March 6, 2003 is  governed  by the
            Georgia Fair Lending Act.

      (35)  Appraisal  form 1004 or form 2055 with an  interior  inspection  for
            first  lien  mortgage  loans  has  been  obtained  for  all  related
            mortgaged   properties,   other   than   condominiums,    investment
            properties,  two to four unit properties and exempt properties,  for
            which appraisal form 1004 or form 2055 has not been obtained.

            Appraisal  form 704, 2065 or 2055 with an exterior  only  inspection
            for  junior  lien  mortgages  combined  with  first  lien  mortgages
            (including  home equity  lines of credit) has been  obtained for all
            related mortgaged  properties,  other than condominiums,  investment
            properties,  two to four unit properties and exempt properties,  for
            which  appraisal  form  1004 or form  2055  has not  been  obtained.
            Appraisal  form 704, 2065 or 2055 with an exterior  only  inspection
            for all  other  junior  lien  mortgages  has been  obtained  for all
            related  mortgaged  properties,  other than those related  mortgaged
            properties that qualify for an Automated Valuation Model.

Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any Company Shares or
any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

            (a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share

                  (1) Subject to Sections 2.1(b), 2.1(d) and 2.3(e), each issued
and outstanding Company Share outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into the right to receive , at the election of the holder thereof, one

                        (i) for each such Company Share with respect to which an
      election to receive stock consideration (a "Stock Election") has
      effectively been made , and not revoked or lost, pursuant to Section 2.3
      (each, an "Electing Share"), the right to receive one (1) share (the
      "Exchange Ratio") of Parent Series B Preferred Stock (the "Stock

            (d) Dissenters Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, Company Shares ("Dissenter Shares") that are outstanding

entitled to demand and properly demands payment for such Dissenter Shares
pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Articles 5.12 and 5.13, et.
seq. of the TBCA (the "Dissenter Rights") shall not be converted into Merger
Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(c)(1), but rather the holders of
Dissenter Shares shall be entitled to payment for such Dissenter Shares in
accordance with the Dissenter Rights; provided, however, that if any such holder
shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to
receive payment under the Dissenter Rights, then the right of such holder to be
paid in accordance with the Dissenter Rights shall cease and such Dissenter
Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and
to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, Merger
Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(c)(1). The Company shall serve prompt
notice to the Parent of any written notice of intent to demand payment, or any
written demand for payment, received by the Company in respect of any Company

negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the
Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such
demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

      2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

            (a) Exchange Agent. Spectrum Law Group LLP shall serve as Exchange
Agent (the "Exchange Agent") for payment of Merger Consideration upon surrender
of certificates representing Company Shares. The Exchange Agent shall also act
as the agent for the Company's stockholders for the purpose of receiving and
holding their Forms of Election and Certificates and shall obtain no rights or
interest in such shares. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall
deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Company
Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange
Agent: (i) certificates representing the number of shares of Parent Series B
Preferred Stock issuable and (ii) Notes representing the amount of Note
Consideration payable, in each case, pursuant to Section 2.1(c) in exchange for
outstanding Company Shares (such shares of Parent Series B Preferred Stock and
Notes being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"). The Exchange Agent
shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration
contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1 out of the Exchange Fund.

            (b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable after the Effective
Time, the Exchange Agent, or its designee, shall mail to each holder of a
certificate or certificates (the "Certificates") that immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Shares whose shares
were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to
Section 2.1(c) who did not complete a Form of Election pursuant to Section 2.3,
(i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected
and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of
the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such
other provisions as Parent shall reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for
use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for Merger
Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange
Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together
with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may
reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate
shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore the amount of Notes, if any,
and the number of shares of Parent Series B Preferred Stock in to which the
aggregate number of Company Shares previously represented by such Certificate
shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c), and the Certificate so
surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.

                                       4
<PAGE>

            (c) Restricted Securities. The shares of Parent Preferred Stock (and
the shares issuable upon conversion thereof) (i) shall not be registered under
the Securities Act or any state securities laws, (ii) will be offered and sold
in reliance upon exemptions provided in the Securities Act and state securities
laws for transactions not involving any public offering, and (iii) therefore,
shall constitute "restricted securities" within the meaning of the Securities
Act and cannot be resold or transferred unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws or unless an
exemption from such registration is available.

            (d) Investment Representation Letters. On or before the Closing
Date, each of the Shareholders shall execute and deliver an Investment
Representation Letter, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Investor
Representation Letter"), which contains certain representations designed to
confirm the availability to the Parent of the exemption from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in connection with the issuance of the Parent
Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, in the event that any Shareholder (a "Defaulting
Shareholder") is unable or fails to execute and deliver an Investor
Representation Letter in favor of the Parent, or the Parent has a reasonable
basis to believe that the representations of such Shareholder in the Investor
Representation Letter are not true and correct in any material respects, then
the Parent may in its sole and absolute discretion refuse to issue the Merger
Consideration allocable to the Defaulting Shareholder.

            (e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. The Merger
Consideration paid and/or issued in accordance with the terms of this Article II
upon conversion of any Company Shares shall be deemed to have been paid and/or
issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares,
subject, however, to the Surviving Entity's obligation to pay any dividends or
make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that
may have been declared or made by the Company on such Company Shares in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this
Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and after the Effective
Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer
books of the Surviving Entity of Company Shares that were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any
Certificates formerly representing Company Shares are presented to the Surviving
Entity or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and
exchanged as provided in this Article II.

                                       5
<PAGE>

            (f) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or the
Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any Merger
Consideration (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to
a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar Law. If any Certificate has not been surrendered prior to five years
after the date on which the final Merger Considerationl becomes due (or
immediately prior to such earlier date on which Merger Consideration in respect
of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any
Governmental Entity), any such cash, shares, dividends or distributions in
respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law,
become the property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of all claims or
interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

            (h) Income Tax Treatment. It is intended by the parties hereto that
the Merger qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of
the Code. The parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as a "plan of
reorganization" within the meanings of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the
U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code.

      2.3 Elections.

            (a) Each person who, on or prior to the Election Date referred to in
paragraph (b) below, is a record holder of Company Shares shall be entitled,
with respect to all or any portion of such shares, to make an unconditional
Stock Election on or prior to such Election Date, on the basis hereinafter set
forth.

            (b) Parent shall prepare a form of election, which form shall be
subject to the reasonable approval of the Company (the "Form of Election") and
shall be mailed to the record holders of Company Shares as of the date of this
Agreement, which Form of Election shall be used by each record holder of shares
of Company Shares who wishes to elect to receive the stock consideration
pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(1) for any or all Company Shares held by such holder.
Any such holder's election to receive the stock consideration pursuant to
Section 2.1(c)(1) shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall
have received at its designated office, by 5:00 p.m., Pacific Standard Time, on
the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "Election Date"), a
Form of Election properly completed and signed and accompanied by Certificates
for the Company Shares to which such Form of Election relates, duly endorsed in
blank or otherwise in form acceptable for transfer on the books of the Company.
If the Closing is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Date shall be
similarly delayed and Parent will promptly announce such rescheduled Election
Date and Closing.

            (c) Any Form of Election may be revoked by the stockholder who
submitted such Form of Election to the Exchange Agent only by written notice
received by the Exchange Agent (i) prior to 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the
Election Date or (ii) after such time, if (and only to the extent that) the
Exchange Agent is legally required to permit revocations and only if the
Effective Time shall not have occurred prior to such date. In addition, all
Forms of Election shall automatically be revoked if the Exchange Agent is
notified in writing by Parent and the Company that the Merger has been
abandoned. If a Form of Election is revoked, the Certificate or Certificates for
the shares of Company Shares to which such Form of Election relates shall be
promptly returned to the stockholder submitting the same to the Exchange Agent
and any such shares shall be treated as Non-Electing Shares (unless and until
another duly completed Form of Election (and the Certificate or Certificates, or
guarantees of delivery, as applicable, to which such Form of Election relates)
has been submitted to the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Agreement).

            (d) The determination of the Exchange Agent in its sole discretion
shall be binding as to whether or not elections to receive the stock
consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(1) have been properly made or revoked
pursuant to this Section 2.3 with respect to shares of Company Shares and when
elections and revocations were received by it. If no Form of Election is
received with respect to shares of Company Shares, or if the Exchange Agent
determines that any election to receive the stock consideration pursuant to
Section 2.1(c)(1) was not properly made with respect to shares of Company
Shares, such shares shall be treated by the Exchange Agent as Non-Electing
Shares at the Effective Time, and such shares shall be converted into the right
to receive the Note Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(1)(ii). The
Exchange Agent may, with the mutual agreement of Parent and the Company, make
such rules as are consistent with this Section 2.03 for the implementation of
the elections provided for herein as shall be necessary or desirable fully to
effect such elections.

      2.4 Company Equity Awards.

            (a) At the Effective Time, other than stock options issued under the
Company's 2000 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan that have an exercise price of $1.00
per share (which shall expire) or $.50 per share (which, pursuant to the terms
of the Company's 2000 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan shall receive in lieu thereof
from the Company an equitable substitution for such options), each Company Stock
Option then outstanding under any Company Stock Plan, whether or not then
exercisable, shall be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to purchase
Parent Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 2.4(a). Each
Company Stock Option so converted shall continue to have, and be subject to, the
same terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Company Stock Plan and
any agreements thereunder immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided,
however, that all of such stock options shall be deemed to be fully vested as of
the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any Company
Stock Options which are "incentive stock options," within the meaning of Section
422 of the Code, into options to purchase Parent Series B Preferred Stock shall
be made so as not to constitute a "modification" of such Company Stock Options
within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code.

            (b) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for
issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Series B Preferred Stock for
delivery upon exercise or settlement of the Company Stock Options being assumed
or settled in accordance with this Section 2.4.

financial statements (including an audit of the Company's financial statements
prior to Closing) as required by Form 8-K promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, with a PCAOB approved auditor on or before January 31,
2006 (the "Post Closing Audit"). The Parent and the Surviving Entity shall
attempt to complete the Post Closing Audit for a cost of no more than $50,000.
In the event the Parent is unsuccessful in completing the Post-Closing Financing

            (b) the Surviving Entity covenants and agrees that the gross

Surviving Entity with no less than $50,000 per month to cover operating expenses
of the Surviving Entity (each, an "Interim Funding"). Each Interim Funding shall
be evidenced by a note made by Surviving Entity in favor of the Parent in the
amount of such Interim Funding, on substantially the terms and conditions
attached hereto as Exhibit D (the "Interim Notes"). In addition, Parent
covenants and agrees to secure the Post Closing Financing on or before the Post
Closing Financing Deadline. In the event Parent, for whatever reason, is unable
to secure the Post Closing Financing on or before the Post Closing Financing
Deadline, then in such event, the Parent; (i) shall be obligated for all Interim
Funding and the Surviving Entity shall be released from any and all obligations
to repay any such Interim Funding (and the Interim Notes shall so provide for
such a release of any such liability); (ii) the Parent shall be obligated to pay
for all audit and audit related costs under Section 4.2(a); and (iii) the
Surviving Entity and the Shareholders shall have such rights as set forth in
Section 8.2 hereof. As used herein, the term "Post Closing Financing" shall mean
the receipt by the Surviving Entity on or before the Post Closing Financing
Deadline of both of the following: (i) a firm, commitment from a funding source
reasonably acceptable to James E. Nelson to provide at least Five Million
Dollars of equity funding over a period of two (2) years (such equity funding to
be solely in the form of equity funding and not debt funding, and such equity
funding to be funded in minimum tranches of $250,000) on such terms as shall be
commercially reasonably acceptable to James E. Nelson; and (ii) an actual
funding, in the form of a bridge loan, convertible debenture, or equity

Shareholders, severally but not jointly, agree to indemnify the Parent and its
officers, directors, shareholders, employees, Affiliates, attorneys, accountants

and all damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding) (collectively,
"Parent Damages") incurred or suffered by the Parent Parties as a result of any
breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of
the Shareholders or contained in this Agreement, or any certificate delivered by
the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation, any
Investor Representation Letter), other than any breach or inaccuracy of any

      9.3 Indemnification Procedures

            (a) Notification of Claims. Upon any party (the "Indemnified Party")
becoming aware of a fact, condition or event that constitutes a basis for a
claim for Parent Damages, in respect thereof against the other party (the
"Indemnifying Party") under Section 9.2, if such a claim is to be made, the
Indemnified Party will with reasonable promptness and specificity notify the
Indemnifying Party or Parties in writing of such fact, condition or event. The
failure to notify the Indemnifying Party or Parties under this Section 9.3 shall
not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the
Indemnified Party except to the extent that such failure to notify shall have
resulted in a waiver of any lawful and valid affirmative defense to any
third-party claim or otherwise materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party or
Parties in connection with the administration or defense of such third-party
claim.

            (b) Third-Party Claims.

                  (i) Upon receipt by the Indemnifying Party or Parties of any
notice of claim for indemnification hereunder arising from a third-party claim,
the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall assume the administration and defense of
such third-party claim with counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party and shall proceed with the administration and defense of such
third-party claim diligently and in good faith; provided, however, that any
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the administration and defense of
such third-party claim only if it agrees in writing with the Indemnified Party
that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article
with respect to such third-party claim; and provided, further that no
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the administration and defense of
any third-party claim that (A) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief
that might materially and adversely affect any Indemnified Party, or (B)
involves any criminal action or any claim that could reasonably be expected to
result in a criminal action against any Indemnified Party. Each parties' counsel
in connection with this transaction shall be deemed to be reasonably
satisfactory to the other party for purposes of this Section 9.3(b)(i). The
Indemnified Party shall be fully consulted by the Indemnifying Party or Parties
and shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in the
investigation, administration and defense of such third-party claim. Any party
hereto receiving notice of any proposed settlement of any such third-party claim
shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the other parties hereto. The
Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not have the right to settle or compromise
any third-party claim for which indemnification is being sought hereunder
without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless as a result of such
settlement or compromise the Indemnified Party is fully discharged and released
from any and all liability with respect to such third-party claim. The
Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party or Parties and
its counsel all books, records, documents and other information relating to any
third-party claim for which indemnification is sought hereunder, and the parties
to this Agreement shall render to each other reasonable assistance in the
defense of any such third-party claim.

<PAGE>

                  (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if
the Indemnified Party is not entitled to defend a third-party claim under
Section 9.3(b)(i), the Indemnified Party shall have the absolute right, at its
election (to be exercised in its sole discretion by written notice to the
Indemnifying Party or Parties) to assume from the Indemnifying Party or Parties
the administration and defense of any such third-party claim against the
Indemnified Party with counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnifying Party. In such event, the Indemnified Party shall proceed with the
administration and defense of such third-party claim(s) diligently and in good
faith, and the Indemnifying Party shall be fully consulted by the Indemnified
Party or Parties and shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in
the investigation, administration and defense of such third-party claim. The
Indemnifying Party or Parties shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of
the administration and defense of such claim(s) incurred prior to the
Indemnified Party or Parties' assumption of the administration and defense of
such claim(s) and shall not be responsible for costs and expenses incurred after
such assumption, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate
in, but not control, the defense of such claim(s) at the sole cost and expense
of the Indemnifying Party.
