                              MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

          This MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT is entered into as of December 18, 1998 by
and among ALASKA OCEAN SEAFOOD, L.P., a Washington limited partnership, ALASKA
TRAWL FISHERIES, INC., a Washington corporation, AMERICAN SEAFOODS COMPANY, a
Washington corporation ("American"), ARCTIC FJORD, INC., a Washington
corporation, ARCTIC STORM, INC., a Washington corporation, GLACIER FISH COMPANY
LLC, a Washington limited liability company, HIGHLAND LIGHT SEAFOODS, L.L.C., a
Washington limited liability company, STARBOUND LTD. PARTNERSHIP, a Washington
limited partnership, TYSON FOODS, INC., a Delaware corporation and any other
members admitted pursuant to this Agreement (together, the "Members") and
POLLOCK CONSERVATION COOPERATIVE, a Washington nonprofit corporation (the
"Cooperative").

                                    RECITALS

          A. The American Fisheries Act (Div. C, Title II of Public Law 105-277)
(the "Act") allocates the annual quota for the Bering Sea pollock fishery among
three harvesting sectors for the years 1999 through 2004 and defines the classes
of vessels eligible to harvest within each sector. Under Sections 206(b) and
208(e) of the Act, 40% of the Bering Sea pollock resource (net of a 10%
allocation to the Community Development Quota program, and net of certain
amounts reserved for incidental catch in non-pollock fisheries) is allocated to
the catcher/processor sector (the "Catcher/Processor Allocation"), and the
class of catcher/processor vessels eligible to harvest the Catcher/Processor
Allocation is limited to certain named vessels and such replacement vessels as
may be permitted by the Act (the "Vessels") and any catcher/ processor
qualifying under Section 208(e)(21) of the Act. (The Vessels are identified on
Exhibit B to this Agreement.) Pursuant to Section 210(c) of the Act, not less
than 8.5% of the Catcher/Processor Allocation is to be made available to be
harvested by certain catcher vessels (the "Catcher Vessels").

          B. American is the bareboat charterer and manager of Vessels 1 through
7 on Exhibit B. The other Members own Vessels 8 through 20.

          C. The Bering Sea pollock fishery has traditionally been managed on an
"open access" or "Olympic competition" basis. Under this management regime, each
fishery participant has an incentive to harvest as much resource as possible as
quickly as possible, because when the common pool of the relevant sector's
pollock quota is consumed, that sector is required to cease fishing.

          D. Because it promotes a "race for the fish", open access management
encourages wasteful fishing and processing practices (as participants have an
incentive to maximize harvest rather than optimize utilization of their catch),
and creates a strong disincentive to employ careful fishing practices that have
been demonstrated to reduce incidental catch of non-target species and increase
product recovery rates.

                                      -1-

<PAGE>

               E. The Members believe that by reaching agreement concerning the
amount of the Catcher/Processor Allocation each of them will harvest, it will be
feasible for them to reduce the pace of their harvesting activities, increase
the amount of product produced per ton of fish harvested, and modify their
fishing operations to reduce their incidental catch of non-target species.

               F. To promote their compliance with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act standards promoting reduction of waste, discards
and incidental catch of non-target species in the fisheries of the United
States, and to reduce the incidental catch of non-target species in the Bering
Sea fisheries, the Members desire to enter into an agreement regarding certain
fish harvesting activities.

               Now, therefore, the parties agree as follows:

                    1.   Harvesting Plan. Each Member hereby agrees, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Act, this Membership Agreement, the Articles of
Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Cooperative, and applicable restrictions
under U.S. antitrust law, to harvest an annual percentage of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands resources no greater than provided under this Agreement.

                         a.   Pollock. Each Member agrees to harvest an annual
percentage of the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands directed pollock fishing
allowance no greater than that Member's percentage as set forth on the harvest
schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, (the "Harvest Schedule").

                         b.   Non-Pollock Groundfish. Each member agrees to
harvest an annual percentage of Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands non-pollock
groundfish no greater than the percentages determined in accordance with
Subsections 1.b.(i) and 1.b.(ii), below

                              (i) Directed Catch. Section 211(b) of the Act
prohibits the Vessels from, in the aggregate, exceeding the percentage of the
Harvest available to the offshore component of any non-pollock Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands groundfish fishery, that is equivalent to the total harvest by
the Vessels and certain named ineligible vessels (listed in Section 209 of the
Act) (collectively, the "Contributing Vessels") in such fishery in 1995,1996 and
1997 (the "Base Years"), relative to the total amount available to have been
harvested by the offshore component in such fishery in the Base Years. To
facilitate compliance with the limit described in this Section, all Members
shall annually allocate among themselves the amount of non-pollock groundfish
allocations available for directed harvest by the Vessels in direct proportion
to the catch history of the Contributing Vessels in the Base Years, or during
such other year(s) as all Members may agree. The provisions of Section 3 shall
apply to any Member's failure to comply with such allocation.

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

                         (ii) Incidental Catch. All amounts of non-pollock
groundfish reserved by NMFS for bycatch purposes shall be made available to the
Vessels as a group. Each Member agrees to prevent its Vessels from harvesting at
bycatch rates substantially in excess of their historical levels.

                    c.   Management Measures. Each Member's allocation of
pollock and other groundfish species shall be subject to all management measures
generally applicable to the Catcher/Processor Allocation and the other
groundfish allocated under Section 1.b., above (including but not limited to
seasonal apportionments and area harvest restrictions) on a discreet, individual
basis; i.e., each Member shall be restricted to harvesting no greater percentage
of such Member's allocation in any season or area than the aggregate percentage
of the Catcher/Processor Allocation permitted to be harvested in such season or
area. Each Member shall have the individual authority to carry over from season
to season a percentage of that Member's seasonal apportionment for each species
no greater than the carry-over percentage generally applicable to the
Catcher/Processor Allocation.

                    d.   Prohibited Species Catch Allocations. Prohibited
species catch (PSC") apportionments for the fisheries in which the Members
participate shall be made in a manner that will allow each Member, to the
maximum extent possible, to prosecute pollock and non-pollock groundfish
fisheries at a level equal to the Member's average harvest level during the
Base Years. Initially, PSC will be apportioned among the pollock and non-pollock
fisheries in the same proportion, on a PSC to target species ratio, as PSC
limits established by the Council and NMFS for the Base Years. Any change in
these initial apportionments will require the approval of all Members.

                    e.   Annual Fishing Plan. The Members agree to meet each
January prior to the opening of the trawl fishery to prepare an annual fishing
plan that allocates the incidental catch referenced in Section 1.b.(ii), above
and the PSC allocations referenced in Section 1.d., above among the directed
fisheries in which the Members are eligible to participate. The Members agree to
meet regularly to review the annual fishing plan and make appropriate
adjustments.

                    f. Scope of Agreement. The Members agree that the Harvest
Schedule and the provisions of Subsection 1.b., above govern only the harvesting
activities of the Members, and, pursuant to Section 10, below, nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as limiting any Member's production from the fish
it harvests (which each Member is encouraged to maximize, within the terms of
this Agreement), or limiting in any respect each Member's ability to market such
products on a fully competitive basis.

                    g.   Vessel Use. Members with more than one Vessel eligible
to harvest under the Catcher/Processor Allocation may elect to harvest their
Harvest Schedule and non-pollock groundfish percentages with any number of
Vessels.

                                       -3-

                    h.   Acquisition or Transfer of Harvesting Allocation. Not
withstanding the provisions of Section 1.a and 1.c. above, and subject to limits
imposed by law, each Member shall have the right to transfer some or all of such
Member's pollock and other groundfish allocation(s) to one or more other
Members, and shall have the right to acquire pollock and other groundfish and/or
the rights to harvest pollock and groundfish from the Catcher Vessels, or any of
them, or an association they may form, on any terms each Member may agree upon.
Members doing so shall notify the Cooperative and Sea State, Inc. or such other
independent quota monitoring service as the Cooperative may retain from time to
time (the "Monitoring Service") within seven (7) days, and in any case, prior to
the harvest of any portion of a transferred allocation. Upon providing such
notice, the relevant Members' Harvest Schedules and/ or non-pollock allocation
percentages shall be considered to be amended accordingly for the term of the
transfer agreement.

               2.   Catch Monitoring. To enable each Member and the Cooperative
to monitor other Members' compliance with the Act and this Agreement, each
Member hereby agrees to carry the number and type of NMFS-certified observers
required by law aboard each of its Vessels participating in the Bering Sea/
Aleutian Islands fisheries during the term of this Agreement, and to report each
Vessel's catch on a daily basis to both the NMFS Observer Program and the
Monitoring Service. Each Member agrees that absent manifest error, the catch
data produced for the Cooperative by the Monitoring Service shall be presumed
accurate, and that each Member's obligations under this Agreement and all
related documents may be enforced to their fullest extent on the basis of such
data.

               3.   Allocation Enforcement. Each Member acknowledges and agrees
that the benefits associated with the Members' mutual harvest agreement will
only accrue to the Members if each of them strictly complies with the Harvest
Schedule and the non-pollock groundfish allocations determined in accordance
with Section 1.b., above. Each Member acknowledges that all other Members will
be taking certain significant operational and financial actions based on this
Agreement, and that a breach of this Agreement by any Member would have
significant adverse consequences. Therefore, to facilitate enforcement of this
Agreement, each Member agrees to the procedure set forth in this Section 3.

                    a.   Forfeiture Amount Calculation.  Not less than thirty
(30) days before each first annual Bering Sea trawl fishery opening for the
catcher/processor sector, the Cooperative Board of Directors shall set a
forfeiture amount for an unprocessed metric ton of each species covered by this
Agreement (the "Forfeiture Amounts").

                    b.   Bonding or Alternative Security. Not more than ten (10)
days following announcement of the Forfeiture Amounts by the Board of Directors,
each Member shall provide the Cooperative with such security as the Board may
require (if any), which may include either:

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

                         (i)  a bond (the "Harvest Bond") securing that Member's
performance under this Agreement, in an amount equal to (i) the relevant
Forfeiture Amount, multiplied by (ii) ten percent (10%) of such Member's
percentage for the relevant species, multiplied by (iii) the number of tons of
such species allocated for harvesting by catcher/processors; or

                         (ii) an alternative form of security acceptable to the
Board of Directors (the "Alternative Security").

                    c.   Overharvest Forfeiture. Following the close of the
Bering sea/Aleutian Islands trawl fisheries to the catcher/processor sector, the
Board of Directors shall review the seasonal harvest data from the Monitoring
Service, and report to the Members concerning the Members' compliance with the
harvest allocations made under this Agreement. Upon the Members determining in
accordance with the organization's Bylaws that a Member harvested in excess of
that Member's percentage, the Cooperative shall have the right to collect from
such Member an amount equal to the Forfeiture Amount multiplied by the number of
metric tons by which such Member's harvest exceeded that Member's allocation.

                    d.   Voluntary Compliance. The Members and the Cooperative
agree  that upon the Cooperative's Members determining that a Member has
overharvested any of its allocations, the Cooperative shall not enforce its
rights to collect against an overharvesting Member's Harvest Bond or other
collateral without first providing the overharvesting Member with fifteen (15)
days advance notice of its intent to exercise its rights of collection, during
which period the Member may request reconsideration of the enforcement action or
may propose an alternative method of compensating the remaining Members and the
Cooperative. The remaining Members may grant or deny any request for
reconsideration and may approve or disapprove any alternative form of
compensation in their sole discretion.

                    e.   Enforcement. Each Member agrees to take all actions and
execute all documents necessary or convenient to give effect to the enforcement
procedure contemplated under this Section 3. Each Member waives all rights of
legal or equitable defense, counterclaim or offset related to any enforcement
action taken in compliance with this Section 3. Each Member agrees that the
Cooperative shall be entitled to actual damages in addition to forfeited amount,
which shall be distributed in accordance with Section 3.f., below upon award.
Each overharvesting member against whom an enforcement action is brought shall
pay all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by the
Cooperative in enforcing the provisions of this Section 3.

                    f.   Distribution of Bond Proceeds and Damages. All funds
forfeited or awarded to Members and or the Cooperative under this provision in
excess of the costs of enforcement shall be distributed pro-rata among the
Members who harvested less than their allocation of the relevant species, with
each Member receiving a fraction of such funds the numerator of which is the
amount by which such

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

 Member's catch of the relevant species was less than such Member's allocation,
 and the denominator of which is the sum of all Members' catch shortfalls.

               4. Vessel Transfer Restrictions. Each Member acknowledges that
the other Members will make investments in equipment and vessel modifications
designed to improve their utilization of the Bering Sea resources in reliance on
this Agreement, and that a breach of this Agreement during its term by any of
them may cause the remaining Members to suffer substantial adverse economic
consequences. In addition, each Member acknowledges that one of the primary
purposes of this Agreement is to improve all Members' abilities to avoid certain
non-target species, and that failure to constrain such incidental catch could
result in premature closure of certain Bering Sea or Aleutian Islands fisheries,
at substantial cost to all Members.

                  a.   Restrictions. Each Member agrees that so long as this
Agreement remains in effect, no Member shall have the authority to sell, charter
or transfer operating authority over a Vessel to a party not bound by this
Agreement, regardless of whether such transfer is temporary or permanent, and
regardless of whether such transfer is effected as part of a vessel sale or
otherwise, unless (i) the proposed transferee first assumes all of the
transferring Member's obligations under this Agreement with regard to the rights
transferred, in which case, the transferring Member shall be released therefrom,
or (ii) the transferring Member either retains the Vessel's Bering Sea/Aleutian
Islands fishing rights, or transfers such rights to the Cooperative or another
Member of the Cooperative. All Members agree to negotiate in good faith to
create a reasonable mechanism to prevent any transfer in violation of this
Section. Each Member further agrees that should a Vessel that it owns, charters
or manages be transferred to a party not bound by this Agreement, all Bering
Sea/Aleutian Islands groundfish harvested outside of this Agreement by such
Vessel shall be deducted from such Member's allocation(s) under this Agreement.
Any attempted or purported transfer of a Vessel or its fishing rights other than
in compliance with this Section shall be void.

               5. Purchase of Catcher Vessel Reserve. Section 210(c) of the Act
provides that not less than 8.5% of the Catcher/Processor Allocation (the
"Catcher Vessel Reserve") shall be available for harvest by the Catcher Vessels.
To insure compliance with the Act, the pollock directed fishing allowance
percentages reflected on the Harvest Schedule are net of the Catcher Vessel
Reserve; i.e., the 36.6% total reflected in the Harvest Schedule reflects a
reserve of 3.4% of the total pollock directed fishing allowance, which is 8.5%
of the 40% allocated to the catcher/processor sector. To insure a competitive
market for Catcher Vessel Reserve quota, each Member shall independently
determine the amount of the Catcher/Processor Allocation it will purchase from
Catcher Vessels, and shall conduct all related price and purchase terms
negotiations independently of all other Members. To insure that the combined
amounts of Members direct pollock harvest and Catcher Vessel Reserve quota
purchases do not exceed the percentage of the pollock directed fishing allowance
allocated to the catcher/processor sector, each Member shall report the amount
of its Catcher Vessel purchases to the Monitoring Service on a daily basis, and
the Cooperative shall arrange

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

for the Monitoring Service to issue notice to all Members when the Catcher
Vessel Reserve has been fully harvested, but not before. Thereafter, quota
purchases from Catcher Vessels shall be counted against the Harvest Schedule
amounts of the Members making such purchases. Should the Catcher Vessels form a
qualifying marketing association or cooperative, the terms and conditions of an
agreement between the Catcher Vessel association and the Cooperative may
supersede the provisions of this Section.

               6.  Term and Termination. This Agreement shall take effect as of
its execution by all Members, and may be terminated by any two (2) Members upon
the occurrence of any of the following events. For purposes of this Section 6,
any two Members with common ownership or control of 10% or more of their equity
interest shall be considered one Member. A Member whose Vessel is transferred as
the result of the proceedings in Subsection b., below, shall not be counted as a
terminating Member.

                   a.   a determination by any government agency of competent
jurisdiction or a reasonable determination by the Cooperative that this
Agreement violates either State or Federal antitrust or unfair competition law,
or unreasonably exposes any Member or the Cooperative to civil anti-trust or
unfair competition litigation;

                   b.   if, as the result of: (i) filing a petition or answer
seeking reorganization, liquidation or dissolution pursuant to Chapter 7 or
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code as amended from time to time, or
comparable State law; (ii) becoming the subject of an order for relief in
proceedings of the nature described in (i) of this Subsection; (iii) filing an
answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material
allegations of a petition filed in a proceeding of the nature described in (i)
of this Subsection; or (iv) seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the
appointment of a liquidator or receiver of all or substantial part of that
Member's property, a Member's Vessel is transferred to a party not bound by this
Agreement;

                   c.   termination or modification of the inshore/offshore
allocation specified in Section 206(b) of the Act;

                   d.   as of December 31st of any of the calendar years 2000
and thereafter, upon two (2) or more Members delivering a notice of termination
to all other Members on or before September l/st/ of such year, if such notice
of termination is not rescinded by any of the terminating Member(s) on or before
September 15/th/ of such year.

               Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Member of its
obligations to pay the damages set forth in Section 3 in connection with a
pre-termination overharvest.

               7.  Landing Tax. Pursuant to Section 210(f) of the Act, the
Members agree to make payments to the State of Alaska for any pollock harvested
in

                                       -7-

<PAGE>

the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands pollock fishery which is not landed in the State
of Alaska, in amounts which would otherwise accrue had the pollock been landed
in the State of Alaska subject to any landing taxes established under Alaska
law. If a Member fails to make a payment in lieu of tax due under this Section,
the Cooperative or any of the other Members may make such payment, and the
non-paying Member shall be obligated to reimburse the paying parties within
thirty (30) days. Any balance outstanding beyond such date shall bear interest
in favor of the paying parties at the per annum rate equal to the prime rate of
Bank of America, N.A., Seattle Branch, as the same may be announced from time to
time, plus five percent (5%). Payments and interest due under this Section may
be collected or reimbursed from the defaulting Member's bond or alternate
security pursuant to Section 3, hereof.

             8.      Community Development Quota Program "Sideboards". The
Members that participate in Community Development Quota ("CDQ") program ventures
agree to take such actions and execute such documents as may be necessary to
insure that their CDQ group counterparts will not be disadvantaged by the
cooperative harvesting arrangements such Members are entering into hereunder.

             9.      Responsible Fishing Practices. The Members acknowledge that
a primary objective of the Cooperative is to reduce bycatch and improve resource
utilization. The Members further acknowledge that fishing practices can affect
bycatch and utilization rates. The Members therefore agree to exercise all
reasonable efforts to conduct their fishing practices responsibly, in a manner
consistent with the overall goals and purposes of the Cooperative.

             10.     Competitive Production and Marketing. To promote the
maximum benefit to consumers of the products produced from the groundfish
harvested under this Agreement, and to comply with the intents and purposes of
federal and state consumer protection law, each Member hereby agrees to: (i)
exercise all commercially reasonable efforts to maximize production from the
resources it harvests under this Agreement; (ii) to conduct all processing,
marketing and sales activities (other than those conducted jointly through the
United States Surimi Commission in compliance with its Certificate of Review) on
a fully independent, fully competitive basis; and (iii) to the extent that such
Member purchases any resources for harvesting or processing by the Vessels
(including but not limited to quota purchased from Catcher Vessels), to do so on
a fully independent and fully competitive basis. The Members and each of them
agree to hold no joint discussions, take no joint actions, and to exchange no
information concerning such purchasing, processing, marketing and sales
activities, other than as appropriate in connection with meetings of the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council and National Marine Fisheries Service fishery
policy and management regulation development process, and as permitted within
the Certificate of Review of the United States Surimi Commission.

             11.     Public Interest Research and Publication. The Members
acknowledge that the primary purposes of the harvesting arrangement contemplated
hereunder are improving their utilization of resources harvested in the Bering
Sea and

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

Aleutian Islands pollock fisheries, reducing the incidental catch of
non-target species, and promoting the adoption and continued support of
resource utilization and conservation arrangements such as those contemplated
under this Agreement. The Members therefore agree to contribute a per-ton
amount determined by the Cooperative Board of Directors from time to time in
support of such activities. All research and publication funded by the
Cooperative is to be conducted in the public's interest, and the results of all
such research shall be made available to the general public at no charge.

             12.       Membership Agreement Enforcement. Each Member agrees that
the Cooperative and/or any other Member(s) may enforce this Membership Agreement
on behalf of the Cooperative and/or any of its Members. The procedure for doing
so shall be as provided in the Cooperative's Bylaws.

             13.       Remedies and Attorney's Fees. In addition to any of the
remedies provided in this Agreement, each Member and the Cooperative shall have
the right to have any provision of this Agreement specifically enforced through
injunction, restraining order or any other form of equitable relief. Subject to
the provisions of Sections 3 and 4, above, in connection with any legal
proceeding related to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay the
prevailing party's reasonable costs and fees associated with the proceeding. For
purposes of this Agreement, "legal proceedings" shall include arbitration,
administrative, bankruptcy and judicial proceedings, including appeals
therefrom.

             14.       Miscellaneous

                       a.   This Agreement contains the entire understanding of
the parties as to the matters addressed herein, and supersedes all prior
agreements related to the same. No amendment to this Agreement shall be
effective against a party hereto unless in writing and duly executed by such
party.

                       b.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Washington.

                       c.    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
which, when taken together, shall have the same effect as a fully executed
original. Delivery of a signed copy of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall
have the same effect as delivering a signed original.

                       d.    The parties agree to execute any documents
necessary or convenient to give effect to intents and purposes of this
Agreement.

                       e.    All notices to be given hereunder shaI1 be in
writing and shall be deemed given when received addressed as follows:

         The parties may from time to time change their address for notice
purposes by written notice to the other parties.

                          f.  Except for the transfer of any rights pursuant to
Section l(h) or Section 4 hereof, which transfers shall be governed by such
Sections, no party may assign its rights hereunder without the prior written
consent of the other parties hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Such consent may be conditioned upon execution of an adherence
agreement by the party to whom such rights are proposed to be assigned. This
Agreement shal1 be binding on the successors and assigns of all parties hereto.

                          g.  This Agreement shall be construed as a whole
according to its fair meaning, without a presumption that it shall be more
strictly construed against the person who drafted it, as each party has
participated in its preparation with the assistance of counsel.

                          h.  The effectiveness of the Percentages of Annual
Allowances set forth herein, and specifically on Exhibit A hereof, is contingent
upon this Agreement being timely filed in compliance with Section 210(a) and
Section 207(d)(2)(A) of the Act. If the Secretary of Commerce determines that
the owner of the Vessels identified in paragraphs 10 through 14 of Section
208(e) of the Act is not entitled to the payment to be made under Section
207(d)(2)(A) of the Act, and such party does not receive equivalent compensation
from the other Members within ten (10) business days of the distribution of such
funds to the parties entitled to such alternative distribution under Section
207(d)(2)(B) of the Act, then the Members shall undertake, in good faith, to
renegotiate such Percentages of Annual Allowances.

                          i.  Each Member warrants that each Vessel under that
Member's ownership, control or management shall be operated in accordance with
this Agreement, regardless of whether such Vessel(s) remain under such Member's
ownership, control or management.

                          j.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement
is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be
severed from this Agreement, and such holding shall not affect in any respect
whatsoever the validity of the remainder of this Agreement.

                        ADDENDUM TO MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

              THIS ADDENDUM TO MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT is entered into as of this
__ day of June, 2001, by and among ALASKA OCEAN SEAFOOD, L.P., a Washington
limited partnership, AMERICAN SEAFOODS COMPANY, a Washington corporation, ARCTIC
FJORD, INC., a Washington corporation, ARCTIC STORM, INC., a Washington
corporation, GLACIER FISH COMPANY LLC, a Washington limited liability company,
HIGHLAND LIGHT SEAFOODS, L.L.C., a Washington limited liability company,
STARBOUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Washington limited partnership, TRIDENT
SEAFOODS CORPORATION, a Washington corporation (each a "Member" and together,
"Members") and the POLLOCK CONSERVATION COOPERATIVE, a Washington nonprofit
corporation (the "Cooperative") with respect to the following facts:

              A. On April 4, 2001, the Cooperative entered into a voluntary
agreement with the High Seas Catchers Cooperative, the Mothership Fleet
Cooperative, the Akutan Catcher Vessel Association, Arctic Enterprise
Association, Northern Victor Fleet Cooperative, Peter Pan Fleet Cooperative,
Unalaska Fleet Cooperative, Unisea Fleet Cooperative, and the Westward Fleet
Cooperative to reduce Western Alaska chum salmon bycatch (the "Bycatch
Agreement").

              B. In order to give fuI1 effect to the rights and obligations
contained in the Bycatch Agreement, the Cooperative and each of its Members
desire to amend the Cooperative's Membership Agreement to give effect to
measures contained in the Bycatch Agreement.

              NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

              1. Amendment of the Cooperative Membership Agreement. The
following provisions shall be added as an addendum to the Cooperative Membership
Agreement:

              The Cooperative and each of its Members hereby agree to comply
       with the term and conditions of the Bycatch Agreement. The Cooperative
       shall enforce, and the Members hereby agree to comply with "Savings
       Closures," as defined in the Bycatch Agreement. Upon the Cooperative's
       receipt of notice of a Savings Closure, it shall notify all Members of
       that closure. Any vessel that subsequently violates the Savings Closure
       shall be penalized as follows:

<PAGE>

              a. The first violation of a Savings Closure shall be penalized by
       an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the ex-vessel value of the
       pollock caught in the Savings Area (as that term is defined in the
       Bycatch Agreement). Second and subsequent violations of a Savings Closure
       shall be penalized one hundred percent (100%) of the ex-vessel value of
       the pollock caught in the Savings Area. For the purpose of enforcement
       under this Section, cooperative catch data produced by SeaState in
       conformance with NMFS catch accounting and bycatch estimation procedures
       will be presumed accurate.

              b. The Members hereby acknowledge and agree that the damages
       resulting from violating a Savings Closure are difficult to estimate and
       that penalty amounts are therefore intended to be a substitute in all
       cases for direct, indirect, and consequential damages. Therefore, the
       Members agree that the penalty amounts established under the above-listed
       penalty provisions are liquidated damages, the payments of which
       (together with reasonable costs of collection) shall satisfy all
       obligations related to a Member's violation of a Savings Closure. The
       Cooperative and each of the Members hereby waive any and all claims to
       direct, indirect, or consequential damages related to such violation.

              c. The members of all other cooperatives and associations that are
       party to the Bycatch Agreement may initiate Savings Closure enforcement
       or penalty actions in the Cooperative as though they were a Member.
       However the authority to enforce or penalize Savings Closure violations
       committed by Members, including the authority to levy fines, penalties,
       forfeitures, or costs related to such actions, is exclusively reserved to
       the Cooperative.

              2. Termination Date. This Addendum shall not be effective beyond
the termination date of the Bycatch Agreement, which is November 30, 2001.

              3. Counterparts; Faxed Signatures. This Addendum may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and
all of which together shall be one and the same Agreement. Signatures
transmitted by facsimile shall be fully binding and effective for all purposes.

                            [SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS]

                              MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

     THIS MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT is entered into as of December   , 1998, by and
among FORUM STAR, INC., AMERICAN SEAFOODS COMPANY, HARVESTER ENTERPRISES, INC.,
MUIR MILACH, INC., TRACY ANNE, INC., NEAHKAHNIE FISHERIES, INC., AND SEA STORM,
INC., and any other Member admitted pursuant to this agreement (together, the
"Members") and Offshore Pollock Catchers Cooperative, a Washington nonprofit
corporation.

                                    RECITALS

         A. The 1998 American Fisheries Act, ("the Act"), provides that, after
an allocation of ten percent (10%) of the total allowable catch of Pollock in
the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area to the Western Alaska
community development quota program and certain bycatch reserves, forty percent
(40%) of the remaining quota is allocated to catcher/processors and catcher
vessels harvesting Pollock for processing by catcher/processors. Of this 40%, at
least eight and one half percent (8.5%) shall be available to the catcher
vessels listed in section 208(b) of the Act (the "Catcher Vessel Share").

         B. The Members of the Cooperative own or charter all of the vessels
that qualify under section 208(b) of the Act.

         C. The BS/AI Pollock Fishery has been traditionally managed on an "open
access" or "Olympic Competition" basis. Under this management regime, each
fishery participant has an incentive to harvest as much resource as possible as
quickly as possible, because when the common pool of the relevant sector's
Pollock Fishery quota is consumed, that sector is closed to all participants.

         D. Because it promotes a "race for the fish," open access management
encourages wasteful fishing and processing practices (as participants have an
incentive to maximize harvest rather than optimize utilization of their catch),
and creates a strong disincentive to employ careful fishing practices that have
been demonstrated to reduce incidental catch of non-target species.

         E. The Members believe that by reaching agreement regarding the amount
of the allocation to which each of them will be entitled, it will be possible to
maximize the value obtained from the fish and to reduce the incidental catch of
non-targeted species.

         F. The Act requires that in the event that a catcher vessel cooperative
is formed by the Members of this Agreement, the Agreement must provide penalties
to prevent the Members from exceeding in 1999, the traditional levels harvested
by such vessels in all other fisheries in the exclusive economic zone of the
United States.

         Now, therefore, the parties agree as follows:

1.       Entitlement to Harvest.

                                      -1-

<PAGE>

         a. Allocations: To enable each of them to extract the maximum amount of
value from the fish that is available for harvest, and to provide each of them
with the opportunity to take bycatch avoidance measures without adversely
affecting their ability to remain competitive, each Member hereby agrees,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Membership Agreement, the Articles
of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Cooperative, to harvest or arrange for
the harvest of not more than the percentage of BERING SEA and ALEUTIAN ISLANDS
Directed Pollock fishery as defined in Section 205(4) of the Act, listed on the
schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference (the
"Harvest Schedule").

         b. Management Measures. Each Member's allocation of Pollock and other
groundfish species shall be subject to all management measures generally
applicable to the catcher/processor and catcher vessel Section 206(2) allocation
allocated under Section 1.a., above (including but not limited to seasonal
apportionments and area harvest restrictions) on a discreet, individual basis;
i.e., each Member shall be restricted to harvesting no greater percentage of
such Member's allocation in any season or area than the aggregate percentage of
the catcher/processor and catcher vessel Section 206(2) allocation permitted to
be harvested in such season or area. Each Member shall have the individual
authority to carry over from season to season a percentage of that Member's
seasonal apportionment for each species no greater than the carry-over
percentage generally applicable to the catcher/processor and catcher vessel
Section 206(2) allocation.

         c. Acquisition or Transfer of Harvesting Allocation. Not withstanding
the provisions of Section 1.a and 1.b. above, and subject to limits imposed by
law, each Member shall have the right to transfer some or all of such Member's
Pollock and other groundfish allocation(s) to one or more other Members or
members of any catcher-processor Pollock cooperative, and shall have the right
to acquire Pollock and other groundfish and/or the rights to harvest Pollock and
groundfish from the catcher vessels, or catcher-processors or any of them, or an
assocation they may form , on any terms each Member may agree upon. Member doing
so shall notify the Cooperative and Sea State, Inc. or such other independent
quota monitoring service as the Cooperative may retain from time to time (the
"Monitoring Service") within seven (7) days, and in any case, prior to the
harvest of any portion of a transferred allocation. Upon providing such notice,
the relevant Members' Harvest Schedules and/or non-Pollock allocation
percentages shall be considered to be amended accordingly for the term of the
transfer agreement.

         d. Limitation on Participation in Fisheries Other Than Pollock: Each
Member agrees to identify its traditional fisheries and its historical level of
participation in those fisheries The board shall then determine which vessels
and

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

                to what extent each Member may participate in each fishery so
                that the traditional levels of harvest, as defined in Section
                205(5) of the Act, by the Members in 1999 does not exceed the
                traditional levels harvested by section 208(b) vessels in other
                fisheries in the exclusive economic zone of the United States
                The board shall then assign entitlement to participate in a
                fishery based upon prior participation. Priority shall be based
                on the extent of prior participation.

                Upon the Board of Directors or two or more Members in good
                standing concluding that a Member may have participated in a
                fishery in which he was not entitled, Section 4.4 of the Bylaws
                shall be implemented for a determination of whether there has
                been an unauthorized participation, and if so, the penalty to be
                assessed. To determine the proper penalty, the forum shall be
                guided by the penalties assessed by judicial forums for illegal
                participation in similar fisheries. All revenue resulting from
                the assessment of penalties shall be used as determined by the
                Board of Directors.

         2. Harvest Entitlement Monitoring. To enable each Member and the
Cooperative to monitor other Members' compliance with Paragraph 1 above, each
Member hereby agrees that it shall require in each contract for sale of its
share of the harvest as provided for in paragraph 1 above, that the purchaser
shall provide to Sea State, Inc. or such other independent monitoring service as
the Cooperative may retain from time to time, (the "Monitoring Service"), all
data and forms, including private and governmental forms that reflect the
quantities of harvest entitlement purchased. Additionally, each Member shall
waive any confidentiality entitlement that it may have regarding data that any
U.S. or state governmental agency may have regarding its Pollock catch and
by-catch records and information regarding participation in other fisheries,
after the date of this agreement, and shall direct the U.S. and/or state
agencies to provide such information to the Monitoring Service. Each Member
agrees that absent manifest error, the data produced for the Cooperative by the
Monitoring Service shall be presumed accurate, and that, absent manifest error,
each Member's obligations under this agreement and all related documents may be
enforced to their fullest extent on the basis of such data.

         3. Harvest Schedule Enforcement. Each Member acknowledges and agrees
that the benefits associated with the Member's mutual harvest agreement will
only accrue to the Members if each of them strictly complies with the Harvest
Schedule. Each Member acknowledges that all other Members will be taking certain
significant operational and financial actions based on this Agreement, and that
a breach of this Agreement by any Member would have significant adverse
consequences. Therefore, to facilitate enforcement of this Agreement, each
Member agrees to the procedures set forth in this Section 3.

                  a. Forfeiture Amount Calculation. Not less than twenty (20)
         days before each Pollock Fishery opening, the Cooperative Board of
         Directors shall establish a penalty amount per ton of Pollock (the
         "Value").

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

                  b. Bonding or Alternative Security. Not more than ten (10)
         days following announcement of the Value by the Board of Directors,
         each Member shall post with the Cooperative either:

                           (i) a bond (the "Harvest Bond") securing that
                  Member's performance under this Agreement, in an amount equal
                  to (i) the Value multiplied by (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the
                  tons of Pollock available to such Member in the following
                  calendar year based on such Member's Harvest Schedule
                  percentage,

                                       or

                           (ii) an alternative security acceptable to the Board
                  of Directors (the "Alternative Security").

                  c. Over-harvest Forfeiture. Following the close of each
         Pollock Fishery season, the Board of Directors shall review the
         seasonal harvest data from the Monitoring Service and NMFS, and report
         to the Members concerning the Members' compliance with the Harvest
         Schedule. Upon the Members determining in accordance with the
         organization's Bylaws that a Member has provided for the harvest of an
         amount of Pollock from the Pollock Fishery in excess of that Member's
         percentage of the quota, as determined with reference to NMFS seasonal
         allocation (as the same may have been modified during the respective
         season) and the Harvest Schedule, the Cooperative shall have the right
         to collect from such Member an amount equal to the Value multiplied by
         the number of metric tons by which such Member's harvest exceeded that
         Member's allocation. This amount may be collected through any
         reasonable process, including but not limited to forfeiture of the
         Member's Harvest Bond or Alternative Security.

                  d. Voluntary Compliance. The Members and the Cooperative agree
         that upon the Cooperative's Members determining that a Member has
         over-harvested its Harvest Schedule percentage, the Cooperative shall
         provide the over-harvesting Member with fifteen (15) days advance
         notice of its intent to exercise its rights of collection against an
         over-harvesting Member's Harvest Bond, during which period the Member
         may request reconsideration of the enforcement action or may propose an
         alternative method of compensating the remaining Members and the
         Cooperative for the damages suffered as the result of such Member's
         over-harvest. The remaining Members may grant or deny any request for
         reconsideration and may approve or disapprove any alternative form of
         compensation in their sole discretion.

                  e. Actual Damages and Enforcement Expenses. Each Member agrees
         that in the case of an over-harvest that results in a forfeiture amount
         in excess of the value of the Member's bond, the Cooperative shall be
         entitled to actual damages in addition to the forfeited amount, which
         shall be distributed in accordance with Section 3.g., below upon the
         collection of the arbitrators' award. The prevailing party in an
         enforcement action shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable
         costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys and arbitrator fees,
         incurred in the action by said party.

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

                  f. Bond Enforcement. Each Member agrees to take all actions
         and execute all documents necessary or convenient to give effect to the
         Harvest Bond enforcement procedure contemplated under this Section 3.

                  g. Distribution of Bond Proceeds and Damages. All funds
         forfeited or awarded to Members and or the Cooperative under this
         provision shall be distributed pro rata among the Members whose harvest
         share was less than their Harvest Schedule allocation, with each Member
         receiving a fraction of such funds the numerator of which is the amount
         by which such Member's Pollock Fishery catch was less than such
         Member's Harvest Schedule allocation, and the denominator of which is
         the sum of all Members' catch shortfalls.

         4. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall take effect as of its
execution by all Members and may be terminated by any
Member upon the occurrence of one or more of the following:

                  a. on or after September 1, 2000, NMFS implements or enforces
         a regulation that excludes a Member from participating in one of the
         below listed fishery in which he has traditionally participated as a
         result of that Member's participation in this Cooperative, and as a
         result thereof, at least fifty percent of the Membership, in writing,
         request the termination of this Agreement. The request must be filed
         before September 15 of the year in which it is filed and the
         termination shall be effective on December 31 of the year in which the
         notice is filed.

                           1. Bering Sea Cod;

                           2. Alaska Scallops

                           3. Bristol Bay King Crab ; or

                  b. there is a determination by any government agency of
         competent jurisdiction or the Cooperative that this Agreement violates
         either State or Federal antitrust or unfair competition law, or
         unreasonably exposes any Member or the Cooperative to civil antitrust
         or unfair competition; or

                  c. a vessel other than those listed on Exhibit A is legally
         authorized to harvest Pollock from the allocation to vessels under
         Section 208 (b) of the Act unless the operator of such vessel has
         agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; or,

                  d. ownership or control of a vessel listed in Exhibit A is
         transferred to a party that is not a Member and that party has not
         agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; or

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

                  e. termination or modification of the inshore/offshore
         allocation specified in Section 206 (b) of the Act; or

                  f. as of December 31st of any of the calendar years 2000 and
         thereafter, at least 50% or more of Members delivering a notice of
         termination to all other Members on or before September 1st of such
         year, if such notice of termination is not rescinded by any of the
         terminating Member(s) on or before September 15th of such year; or

         Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Member of its
obligations to pay the damages set forth in Section 3 in connection with the
determination of over-harvest.

         5. Public Interest Research and Publication. The Members acknowledge
that the primary purposes of the harvesting arrangement contemplated hereunder
are improving their utilization of resources harvested in the Pollock Fishery,
reducing the incidental catch of non-target species, promoting local employment
in the Pollock Fishery, and promoting the adoption and continued support of
resource utilization and conservation arrangements such as those contemplated
under this Agreement. The Members therefore agree to contribute to research and
publication concerning these issues. The amount shall be determined by the board
at the beginning of each year. All such research and publication is to be
conducted in the public's interest, and the results of all such research shall
be made available to the general public at no charge.

         6. Bycatch. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that reducing
incidental catch of non-target species to the maximum reasonable extent is a
primary objective of the Members and the Cooperative. Each Member therefore
agrees to employ such reasonable bycatch avoidance techniques as the Board of
Directors and/the Monitoring Service and/or other Cooperative agents may
recommend from time to time.

         7. Membership Agreement Enforcement. Each Member agrees that the Board
of Directors of the Cooperative may enforce this Membership Agreement on behalf
of the Cooperative and/or any of its Members. The procedure for doing so shall
be as provided ln the Cooperative's Bylaws.

         8. Vessel Transfer Restrictions. Each Member acknowledges that the
other Members will make investments in equipment and vessel modifications
designed to improve their utilization of the Bering Sea resources in reliance on
this Agreement, and that a breach of this Agreement during its term by any of
them may cause the remaining Members to suffer substantial adverse economic
consequences. In addition, each Member acknowledges that one of the primary
purposes of this Agreement is to improve all Member's abilities to avoid certain
non-target species, and that failure to constrain such incidental catch could
result in premature closure of certain Bering Sea or Aleutian Islands fisheries,
at substantial cost to all Members.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

                  a. Each Member agrees that so long as this Agreement remains
         in effect, no Member shall have the authority to sell, charter or
         transfer operating authority over a Vessel to a party not bound by this
         Agreement, regardless of whether such transfer is temporary or
         permanent, and regardless of whether such transfer is effected as part
         of a vessel sale or otherwise, unless the proposed transferee first
         assumes all of the transferring Member's obligations under this
         Agreement Each Member further agrees that should a Vessel that it owns,
         charters or manages be transferred to a party not bound by this
         Agreement, all BSAI groundfish harvested outside of this Agreement by
         such Vessel shall be deducted from such Member's allocation(s) under
         this Agreement. Any attempted or purported transfer of a Vessel other
         than in compliance with this Section shall be void.

                  b. Each Member warrants that each Vessel under that Member's
         ownership, control or management shall be operated in accordance with
         this Agreement, regardless of whether such Vessel(s) remain under such
         Member's ownership, control or management.

         9. Remedies and Attorneys' Fees. In addition to any of the remedies
provided in this Agreement, each Member and the Cooperative shall have the right
to have any provision of this Agreement specifically enforced through
injunction, restraining order or any other form of equitable relief. In
connection with any legal proceeding related to this Agreement, the
non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party's reasonable costs and fees
associated with the proceeding. For purposes of this Agreement, "legal
proceedings" shall include arbitration, administrative, bankruptcy and judicial
proceedings, including appeals therefrom.

         10. Miscellaneous.

                  a. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the
         parties as to the matters addressed herein, and supersedes all prior
         agreements related to the same. No amendment to this Agreement shall be
         effective against a party hereto unless in writing and duly executed by
         such party.

                  b. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
         accordance applicable federal law and the laws of the State of
         Washington. Venue for any action related to this Agreement shall be in
         King County, Washington.

                  c. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts which, when
         taken together, shall have the same effect as a fully executed
         original. Delivery of a signed copy of this Agreement by telefacsimile
         shall have the same effect as delivering a signed original.

                  d. The parties agree to execute any documents necessary or
         convenient to give effect to intents and purposes of this Agreement.
