date hereof until March 13, 1998, 10.5% per annum from March 14, 1998 until

<PAGE>
                                   SECTION 3.

                                CONVERSION RIGHT

         3.1. At any time (i) after the Maturity Date, if the principal amount
of the Note has not been paid in full or (ii) subsequent to five Business Days
following the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, if the principal amount of
the Note has not been paid in full, Seafirst shall have the right to convert the
outstanding principal amount of the Note and any accrued but unpaid interest
into Common Stock. Seafirst may exercise its conversion right by delivering to
the Company and Brazos a written notice stating the amount of the principal of
the Note which Seafirst elects to convert into Common Stock as provided herein
and, if the entire principal amount of the Note is to be converted, its Note
duly endorsed and assigned to the Company. Conversion shall be effective as of
the close of business on the date of delivery of such notice. As promptly as
practicable thereafter, the Company shall issue and deliver to Seafirst, a
certificate for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. Any
person in whose name the certificate for Common Stock is to be issued shall be
considered to have become a holder of record of such Common Stock as of the
close of business on the Conversion Date.

         The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
entire $1,500,000 principal amount of the Note shall be the product of (a)
681,818 and (b) the Conversion Factor. If the amount of the Note plus unpaid
interest to be converted on any Conversion Date is either less than or more than
$1,500,000, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion, as
compared to the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such
entire principal amount, shall be proportionate to the aggregate principal
amount of the Note plus unpaid interest to be converted on such Conversion Date,
as compared to the entire principal amount of $1,500,000.00.

         If Seafirst shall convert less than the entire principal amount and any
unpaid interest of the Note, Seafirst shall indicate on the Note the amount and
date of such conversion, as the case may be, and the remaining principal amount
thereof.

         3.2. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of
Common Stock on the conversion of the Note. Seafirst expressly waives its right
to receive any fractional shares upon conversion of the Note. If any fraction of
a share would be issuable on the conversion of the Note, the Company or Brazos
shall pay to Seafirst in lieu thereof an amount in cash equal to the product of
such resulting fraction and the Closing Price for such Common Stock on the
effective date of the Conversion.

         3.3. The Conversion Factor shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time in case any of the following events shall occur: (i) distribution of any
dividend consisting solely of Common Stock with respect to any class of the
Common Stock, or the distribution consisting in whole or in part of Common Stock
of any dividend on any class of capital stock of the Company; (ii) distribution
of any dividend on any class of the Common Stock of the Company consisting in
whole or in part of,

                                        4
<PAGE>
or the issuance to all holders of Common Stock of, rights or warrants entitling
the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the relevant
record date; and (iii) the subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of such shares. Upon the
occurrence of any such event, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted as
appropriate so that the economic benefits or losses that would have accrued to
Seafirst upon conversion of any part of the Note prior to such event shall be
equal to the economic benefits that would accrue to Seafirst upon conversion of
such part after such event. Such adjustments shall be effective as of the record
date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such combination
or subdivision and shall be made successively whenever any event listed above
shall occur.

         3.4. If the Company shall merge or consolidate with another
corporation, Seafirst shall thereafter have the right, upon conversion of the
Note to receive solely the kind and amount of shares of stock (including, if
applicable, Common Stock), other securities, property or cash or any combination
thereof receivable by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which
such Note might have been exercised immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation (assuming, if applicable, that the holder of such Common Stock
failed to exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of
shares of stock, other securities, property or cash or combination thereof
receivable upon such merger or consolidation).

                                   SECTION 4.

proposes to take with respect thereto.

         4.2. The Company agrees to give Seafirst the same notice of any regular

representative of Seafirst shall only attend or be present at any such meeting
for informational purposes and shall have no rights as a board member.

sell substantially all its assets to, any other corporation unless the surviving

rates or fees payable in connection with such debt.

         4.5. Company and Brazos each agree not to purchase or redeem any of the
Company's common or preferred stock, and the Company further agrees not to pay
dividends for any of its preferred stock, other than such dividends that it is

subordinate debt which has a maturity date sooner than the maturity date of the
Subordinated Convertible Note issued to Seafirst.

         follows:

                  (a) Seafirst is duly organized, validly existing and in good

                  NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
                  AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE; THEREFORE, THIS
                  STOCK MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED,
                  DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, EXCEPT UPON SUCH REGISTRATION OR UPON
                  DELIVERY TO THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY

         6.1. As used in this Section 6, the term "Registrable Stock" shall mean
all Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, such

Securities Act on any form which the Company is eligible to use for registering
the resale of the Registrable Stock which the Company has been requested to
register (including, without limitation, a registration statement on Form S-3 of
the Securities Act) and shall use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become effective; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, subject to the
provisions of the immediately following sentence, the Company shall not be
required to effect more than a total of one registration statement of
Registrable Stock with respect to a request by Seafirst pursuant to this section
and, in the case of an underwritten offering, the Company shall have the right
to approve the underwriter, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The Company shall have the right to defer the filing of any registration
statement requested pursuant to this section if (i) on the date of the
Registration Request the Company is in the process of preparing another
registration statement for an underwritten public offering, until the 90th day
after the date of such Registration Request, (ii) in order to file such
registration statement, the Company would be required to conduct an audit other

fiscal year, until such time the Company conducts its regular annual audit
(unless Seafirst agrees to pay the expenses of such an audit) or (iii) in the
good faith determination of the board of directors of the Company the filing of
such registration statement would have a materially adverse affect to the
Company, until such time period as such filing would not have such affect, such
period not to exceed 90 days; PROVIDED that the Company shall not have the right
to exercise this right more than once in any 12 month period.

registration statement with respect to such shares and use its best efforts to
cause such registration statement to become and remain effective as provided

would be required, the Company may delay such registration statement until such
time as such special audit is no longer required;

                                    (ii) prepare and file with the Commission

supplements as may be necessary to reflect the intended method of disposition
from time to time by Seafirst of such shares for a period of not less than six
months;

shares owned by Seafirst;

                           (2) Seafirst and each underwriter designated by
Seafirst shall be required to furnish to the Company such information as the
Company may reasonably require from Seafirst or underwriter for inclusion in the
registration statement (and the prospectus included therein); and

                           (3) Seafirst will not (until further notice) effect
sales of shares included the registration after receipt of telegraphic or
written notice from the Company to suspend sales in order to permit the Company
to correct or update a registration statement or prospectus; but the obligations
of the Company with respect to maintaining any registration statement current
and effective shall be extended by a period of days equal to the period such
suspension is in effect; and the Company agrees to use its prompt, reasonable,
best efforts to correct or update the registration statement or prospectus.

                  (c) EXPENSES. All expenses incurred by the Company in
effecting any registration pursuant to this section including, without
limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, expenses of

so registered will indemnify the Company and its officers and directors and each
person, if any, who controls any thereof within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and their respective successors against all claims, losses,
damages, liabilities, fines and penalties (or actions in respect thereof)
arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of
a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document
incident to any registration, qualification or compliance (or in any related
registration statement, notification or the like) or any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the
Company, as applicable, and each other person indemnified hereunder for any
legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this indemnification shall apply only (and only to the
extent that) such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information
(including, without limitation, written responses to inquiries) furnished to the
Company by an instrument duly executed by Seafirst or such underwriter and
stated to be specifically for use in such prospectus, offering circular or other
document (or related registration statement, notification or the like) or any
amendment or supplement thereto.

                           (3) Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Section 6(d) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification
promptly after such indemnified party has actual knowledge of any claim as to
which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the indemnifying party to assume
the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; PROVIDED,
that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein
shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section
6(d). The indemnified party may participate in such defense at such party's
expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnifying party shall pay such expense
if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between the indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such
claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such
claim or litigation, and no indemnified party shall consent to entry of any
judgment or settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of
the indemnifying party.

                           (4) The obligations of the Company and Seafirst under

                  (e) TRANSFER. Subject to compliance with the ROFR Agreement,
the registration rights contained in this Section are assignable or transferable
by Seafirst to any transferee of the Subordinated Note, PROVIDED that the
transferee agrees to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement
applicable to Seafirst and further agrees to execute a subordination agreement
consistent with Section 7.3.

to the Company and Brazos of its intent to accelerate but without any other
notice of acceleration, notice or demand, may declare the entire principal
amount of the Note then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon immediately
due and payable, and the said entire principal, interest and all other amounts
owing thereunder shall thereupon become immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or other notice of default or
dishonor of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company
and Brazos.

         7.2. Seafirst shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies given
it in this Agreement and the Note, all of the rights and remedies allowed at law
or in equity, or by applicable ordinances, statutes, rules, regulations, orders,
injunctions, writs or decrees of any governmental or political subdivision or
agency thereof, or any court or similar entity established by any such
subdivision or agency.

         7.3. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or this
Section, Seafirst hereby represents, warrants and agrees that the payment of the
Note and the exercise of Seafirst's rights and remedies hereunder are junior and
subordinate to any Senior Lender. Seafirst shall execute concurrently with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, a subordination agreement consistent
with the foregoing which shall fully subordinate its payment rights under the
Note to any Senior Lender, including, but not limited to, Fleet Financial
Corporation, Brazos' senior secured lender.
