NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The accounting and reporting
policies of FVNB Corp. (Parent Company) and subsidiaries (collectively, the
Company) conform to generally accepted accounting principles and practices
within the banking industry and require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements related to assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from the estimates. A description of the more significant accounting
policies follows:

      PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- In September 1998, FVNB Corp. was organized
as a bank holding company for First Victoria National Bank. As a result of the
reorganization, shareholders of First Victoria National Bank became shareholders
of FVNB Corp. In addition, the par value of common stock outstanding changed
from $2.50 per share to $.01 per share. Total authorized shares outstanding also
changed from 5,000,000 to 20,000,000. These changes are reflected retroactively
for each period shown in the consolidated financial statements. No revaluation
of the assets and liabilities was made as a result of this reorganization.
Subsequently, in January 1999, the Company completed the acquisition and merger
into FVNB Corp. of CBOT Financial Corporation, the parent company of Citizens
Bank of Texas, N.A. and Citizens Mortgage Company. Citizens Bank of Texas
continues to operate as an independent subsidiary of the Parent Company.
Existing banking facilities located in New Waverly, Huntsville and The
Woodlands, Texas retained the name Citizens Bank of Texas, N.A. The acquisition,
which was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, is discussed
further in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

      The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of First Victoria National Bank and Citizens Bank of Texas, N.A. (collectively
the Subsidiary Banks) and their respective wholly owned subsidiaries as well as
Citizens Mortgage Company. The wholly owned subsidiaries of First Victoria
National Bank include PMV, Inc., which was established for the purpose of
acquiring, managing and liquidating assets acquired in satisfaction of debts
previously contracted; First Victoria Community Development Corporation, which
was established for the purpose of acquiring, developing, rehabilitating,
managing, renting and selling housing units primarily to benefit low and
moderate income residents of the local area and to promote and invest in such
community development projects; and First Victoria Leasing, Inc., which was
established for the purpose of transacting and accounting for leasing activities
of the Bank. Citizens Bank of Texas, N.A. has one wholly owned operating
subsidiary, Citizens Insurance Agency of Texas.

      INVESTMENT SECURITIES -- The Company accounts for investment securities in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". This
standard requires the classification of securities into one of three categories:
held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Investments shall be
classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost only if the
reporting enterprise has the positive intent and ability to hold those
securities to maturity. Securities that are bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near term shall be classified as trading
securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses related to trading securities
shall be included in earnings. Investments not classified as trading securities
or held-to-maturity securities shall be classified as available-for-sale
securities. Securities that would be sold in response to changes in market
interest rates and the securities' prepayment risk, needs for liquidity, or
changes in the availability and yield on alternative investments are classified
as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value
and any unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and
recorded as a net amount as a separate component of shareholders' equity (net of
tax effect), and included in other comprehensive income until realized. The
Company used the specific identification method in computing all realized gains
and losses.

      In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective
for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years ending after June 15, 1999. The
Statement established accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally
document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting. Management of the Company believes that the Statement's impact
on the consolidated financial statements will be immaterial. Subsequently, in
June 1999, FASB Statement No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,
an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" was issued. This Statement defers the
effective date of FASB Statement No. 133 for one year making it effective for
all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.

      LOANS AND LEASES RECEIVABLE -- Interest earned on commercial, agriculture
and real estate loans is accrued daily, based upon the principal amounts
outstanding. Interest on consumer loans is recorded on the level yield method.
The recognition of income on a loan is discontinued, and previously accrued
interest is reversed, when interest or principal payments become 90 days or more
past due unless, in the opinion of management, the outstanding principal and
interest are both well secured and in the process of collection. Loans to
customers whose financial conditions have deteriorated and for which management
has serious doubt as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with their loan
repayment terms are considered for non-accrual status whether or not the loans
are 90 days or more past due. Subsequent cash payments received are applied to
the principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending upon
management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan. If cash
payments received relate to a loan previously charged off in whole or in part,
payments not applied to the remaining principal balance are recorded as
recoveries.

      The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", as amended by SFAS No. 118
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and
Disclosure". These standards address the accounting by creditors for impairment
of certain loans as well as the accounting for troubled debt restructurings. A
loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable
that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans that fall within the scope of
these standards are measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows for each loan discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a
practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

      The Company accounts for leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13 "Accounting
for Leases". This standard addresses the accounting and reporting for leases by
lessees and lessors. In the case of a leveraged lease, the lessor records the
investment in the lease as the gross rental receivable (net of principal and
interest on non-recourse debt) and the estimated residual value net of unearned
and deferred income. The investment less deferred taxes is used for computing
income earned. Income is recognized based on the cash flow over the lease term
and the rate of return on the positive net investment. In the case of an
operating lease, the lessor records the leased property at cost in premises and
equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. The property is depreciated using
the lessor's normal depreciation policy over the useful life of the asset.
Rental income is recorded over the lease term as it becomes receivable according
to the provision of the lease agreement.

      ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES -- The allowance for loan and lease
losses is established by a charge to income as a provision for loan and lease
losses. Actual loan and lease losses or recoveries are charged or credited
directly to this allowance. The provision for loan and lease losses is based on
management's estimate of the amounts required to maintain an allowance adequate
to reflect losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date;
however, ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. These estimates
are reviewed periodically and adjustments are reported in earnings in the period
in which they become known.

      PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT -- Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line
method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and expenditures for renewals
and improvements which materially increase the value of the property and have a
benefit over more than one accounting period are capitalized. Estimated useful
lives are 15 - 40 years for premises and 3 - 10 years for furniture and
equipment.

      INCOME TAXES -- The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This standard allows the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the expected future
tax consequences of existing differences between financial reporting and tax
reporting bases of assets and liabilities. The Company files an annual federal
income tax return on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries.

      GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES -- Goodwill and intangibles resulting from
acquisitions is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of
benefit, not to exceed fifteen years. The Company evaluates whether events and
circumstances have developed that warrant revision of the estimated benefit
periods.

      RECOGNITION OF LOAN ORIGINATION FEES AND COSTS -- Loan origination and
commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are analyzed on a
quarterly basis in accordance with SFAS No. 91 "Accounting for Nonrefundable
Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct
Costs of Leases." This standard requires the deferral of such commitment fees
and direct costs at origination with the net amount amortized as an adjustment
of the related loan's yield over the contractual life of the related loan.
Management of the Company believes that the Company's net loan origination costs
are not material and are, therefore, not accounted for using the deferral
method.

      FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- Financial instruments are defined
as cash, evidence of an ownership in an entity, or a contract that conveys or
imposes on an entity the contractual right or obligation to either receive or
deliver cash or another financial instrument. Fair value is defined as the
amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation,
and is best evidenced by a quoted market price if one exists.

      The Company operates as a going concern and except for its investment
securities portfolio, no active market exists for its financial instruments.
Much of the information used to determine fair value is highly subjective and
judgmental in nature and therefore the results may not be precise. The
subjective factors include, among other things, estimates of cash flows, risk
characteristics, credit quality, and interest rates, all of which are subject to
change. Since the fair value is estimated as of the balance sheet date, the
amounts which will actually be realized or paid upon settlement or maturity of
the various instruments could be significantly different. Fair value estimates,
methods, and assumptions for financial instruments, are set forth in Note 16 to
the consolidated financial statements.

      COMPREHENSIVE INCOME -- Effective January 1, 1998 the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components. The adoption of this Statement requires
unrealized gains or losses on the Company's investment portfolio be included in
other comprehensive income.

      EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA -- Basic earnings per share is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the year. For each period presented, fully diluted earnings per share was
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding under
the 1998 FVNB Corp. Stock Incentive Plan, upon the assumed exercise of these
dilutive stock options.

      STOCK BASED COMPENSATION -- The Company has elected to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB
25) and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options.
Under APB 25, because the exercise price of employee stock options equals the
market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation
expense is recorded. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (Statement 123).

      SEGMENTS DISCLOSURE -- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" requires that public business enterprises report certain
information about its operating segments in order to provide information about
the different types of business activities in which an enterprise engages.
Management of the Company believes that the Company operates in only one
segment, commercial banking, and therefore the disclosures required by SFAS No.
131 are not applicable.

(2) STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally,
federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. Cash paid for interest
during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was approximately
$5,125,000 and $4,494,000, respectively. The Company paid no federal income
taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Non-cash
transactions representing the transfer of non-performing loans to other real
estate owned and foreclosed assets totaled approximately $25,000 and $365,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

(3) CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS: Cash and due from banks of approximately $6,575,000
and $6,756,000 at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively, were
maintained to satisfy regulatory reserve requirements.

(4) INVESTMENT SECURITIES: As of March 31, 2000, the Company's entire investment
portfolio was classified as available-for-sale and this classification resulted
in an unrealized loss of approximately $6,505,000. This was reflected as a
decrease to available-for-sale securities of approximately $6,505,000 and a
corresponding decrease to shareholders' equity and a deferred tax liability of
approximately $4,295,000 and $2,210,000, respectively. As of December 31, 1999,
the classification resulted in an unrealized loss of approximately $5,065,000.
This was reflected as a decrease to available-for-sale securities of
approximately $5,065,000 and a corresponding decrease to shareholders' equity
and a deferred tax liability of approximately $3,343,000 and $1,722,000,
respectively.

      During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company sold no
investment securities. In addition, there were no called bonds during the period
ended March 31, 2000. During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company
sold various fixed rate securities with a total book value of approximately
$19,574,000 resulting in a net gain of approximately $9,000. These securities
were sold primarily for liquidity purposes and to improve the overall yield of
the investment portfolio as well as the company's potential tax position.

      As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, First Victoria Leasing, Inc. a
wholly owned subsidiary of First Victoria National Bank was an equity
participant in the leveraged lease of an aircraft. As First Victoria National
Bank has no general liability for the non-recourse debt attributable to the
acquisition of such asset, the debt has been offset against the related rentals
receivable. The net investment in leveraged lease consists of the following (in

portfolio. The Company's methodology is based on the ongoing assessment of the
risks inherent in the loan and lease portfolio, as well as on the possible
impact of known and potential problems in certain off-balance sheet financial
instruments and uncertainties. The components that comprise the allowance
include basically two areas -- (1) specific allowances on loans and leases, and
(2) a general allowance for loans other than those with specific allowances
based upon a historical moving average and amounts for factors which are
considered areas of additional risk. Management of the Subsidiary Banks assess
the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses quarterly using a three
step procedure. First, loans and leases are reviewed and categorized as to
potential

risk based upon an internal grading. Specific allowances are then established
for any loans and leases with identified loss potential after consideration of
third-party appraisals of collateral value and management assessments of current
economic conditions, guarantor support, cash flows, and other circumstances, as
appropriate. Second, a general allowance is determined based upon the historical
loss experience of the portfolio as a whole. These estimates are based upon
historical data related to type of loan, risk assessment, historical loss
experience and other factors. Third, the historical loss experience is adjusted
based on estimates of losses in the portfolio as a whole that cannot be
identified with specific loans and leases, taking into consideration local and
national economic trends, volume of past due and seriously delinquent loans and
leases, non-performing loans and leases, loan and lease concentrations, and
other similar factors. These considerations are not limited to previous
collection experience and include estimates of the effect of changing business
trends and other environmental conditions. As conditions are continually
changing, it is necessary for management to review the loan portfolio and market
conditions quarterly and make appropriate adjustments to the allowance.
Management believes that the allowance for loan and lease losses at March 31,
2000 and December 31, 1999 was adequate to cover expected losses based on
economic circumstances known or anticipated at that time.

      Loans and leases receivable on which the accrual of interest has been
discontinued amounted to approximately $1,620,000 and $2,013,000 at March 31,
2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The effect of the reversal of
previously accrued interest on interest income was approximately $21,000 and
$39,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 or 1999. If during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 interest had been accrued at the stated
rates, interest income would have increased by approximately $35,000 and
$52,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had restructured loans
and leases of approximately $32,000. The effect on net interest income resulting
from the difference between the interest recognized on such loans and leases and
the interest that would have been recognized at the original rate was not
material for the three months ended March 31, 2000 or 1999. As of December 31,
1999, restructured loans and leases totaled approximately $32,000.

      Foreclosed assets are carried in other assets at the lower of loan balance
or estimated fair value less estimated selling costs and totaled approximately
$57,000 and $297,000 at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The
Company recorded no gains or losses on sales of foreclosed assets during the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and net gains of approximately $2,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1999.

      Total impaired loans and leases on the Company's books (including
non-accrual and restructured loans and leases) amounted to approximately
$1,652,000 and $1,709,000 as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively. Approximately $551,000 and $471,000 of the allowance for loan and
lease losses was allocated specifically to these loans and leases as of March
31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The average balance of impaired
loans outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2000 was approximately
$1,630,000. The average balance of impaired loans outstanding during 1999 was
approximately $2,191,000.

      Furniture and equipment at March 31, 2000 includes an aircraft with a net
book value of approximately $18,298,000 purchased as a part of a lease agreement
as discussed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.

(7) DEPOSITS: Time certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more amounted to
approximately $101,235,000 and $95,900,000 at March 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999, respectively. Interest expense for these deposits was approximately
$1,261,000 and $1,187,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

(8) INCOME TAXES: The Company recorded current federal income tax expense of
approximately $738,000 and $605,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded deferred tax expense
of approximately $420,000 and $237,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively. As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company
had net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $3,947,000 and $4,016,000,
which were reflected in other liabilities on the consolidated financial
statements.

(9) COMMITMENTS: The Subsidiary Banks are parties to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial
needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve elements
of credit and interest rate risk which are not recognized in the consolidated
financial statements.

      Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
that may require payment of a fee. The total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements, since the commitments may expire
without being drawn upon. The Subsidiary Banks evaluate each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary, upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation of the counterparty. Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued by the Subsidiary Banks to guarantee performance of a
customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit
is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable,
inventory, equipment or real estate.

      The Subsidiary Banks' exposure to credit loss, in the event of
non-performance by the customer, for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit is limited to the contractual amounts of those instruments. As
of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Subsidiary Banks had commitments to
extend credit of approximately $129,747,000 and $132,361,000 and standby letters
of credit of approximately $1,766,000 and $2,122,000, respectively. The
following is a breakdown of commitments by type (in thousands).

(10) LITIGATION: In the normal course of business, the Company has become
involved in routine claims and lawsuits, but management does not believe that
the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

(11) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: First Victoria National Bank's Employees' Profit Sharing
Plan is a 401(k) salary deferral plan which allows employees to defer up to 10%
of their compensation. In addition, participants are allowed to borrow up to 50%
of their vested portion for specific purposes identified in the plan. Based upon
the employee's contribution, First Victoria National Bank contributes a matching
amount equal to 50% of the employee's contribution, not to exceed 5% of
compensation. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, additional amounts
can be contributed annually to the plan by First Victoria National Bank. All
employees with at least one year of service are eligible to participate in the
plan and employer contributions become fully vested after 7 years of service by
the employee. The plan is administered by the Trust and Investment Management
Department of First Victoria National Bank and is prohibited from investing in
the common stock of the Company. Contributions to the plan by First Victoria
National Bank for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were
approximately $34,000. Citizens Bank of Texas maintains a 401(k) salary deferral
plan in which employees are allowed to defer up to 6% of their compensation.
Based upon the employee's contribution, Citizens Bank of Texas contributes a
matching amount equal to 25% of the employee's contribution. Expenses related to
the plan during the first three months of 2000 and 1999 were approximately
$4,000 and $3,000, respectively.

      First Victoria National Bank's Incentive Compensation Plan is administered
by the Compensation and Retirement Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee"). The Committee determines which officers may participate in the
plan and the extent of their participation. All awards are contingent upon the
bank's attaining certain financial objectives established annually by the
Committee. Prior to 1997, the plan provided for a portion of an annual award to
be distributed in cash with the remainder in the form of performance units.
Performance units are determined by dividing the portion of the award to be paid
in performance units by the book value per share of common stock at the end of
the year in which the award is earned. The performance units may be redeemed
equally over the three years following the award at the option of the
participant. Performance units entitle participants to receive a future payment
in cash equal to the book value of the Company common stock at the date of
redemption.Accruals of additional expense for each unredeemed performance award
will be made in future years to reflect increases in the book value per share of
common stock of the Company. Total expense of the plan recorded by the Company
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 represented accruals for the
increase in book value per share of common stock related to previously awarded
performance units and was not material.

      On July 15, 1997, the Compensation and Retirement Committee of First
Victoria National Bank approved an Officer Annual Incentive Plan effective as of
January 1, 1997. The revised plan is administered by the Committee and all
awards are payable entirely in cash and are contingent upon First Victoria
National Bank's attaining various growth and financial objectives to be
determined annually. Expenses of approximately $39,000 and $134,000 related to
this plan were recorded during the first three months of 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

      First Victoria National Bank maintains a noncontributory defined benefit
pension plan that covers First Victoria National Bank employees who meet
specified age and length of service requirements and provides for a single
benefit formula that is based on the participant's final adjusted monthly
compensation. The plan holds assets comprised of U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S.
Government agency securities, corporate bonds, notes and common stock. Funding
is limited to the maximum amounts that are available for deduction for federal
income tax purposes. Expenses of approximately $61,000 and $89,000 related to
this plan were recorded during the first three months of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Citizens Bank of Texas also maintains a pension plan for its
employees. Expenses related to the plan during the first three months of 2000
were not material.

      In March 1998 the Company adopted the 1998 FVNB Corp. Stock Incentive Plan
(the "1998 Plan") which provides for the granting of incentive stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other stock-based awards to
directors, officers and key employees responsible for the direction and
management of the Company or the Subsidiary Banks. On September 15, 1998 a total
of 52,000

stock options were granted to certain directors and officers at an exercise
price of $33.00, which equaled market price of the underlying stock on September
15, 1998. An additional 1,000 options were granted on December 15, 1998 at an
exercise price of $34.00, which also equaled market price of the underlying
stock on December 15, 1998. On May 18, 1999, an additional 59,600 stock options
were granted to certain directors and officers at an exercise price of $32.50,
which equaled market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Options
have a six-month vesting period for directors and a ratable three-year vesting
period for officers. All options expire ten years from the date of grant. As of
March 31, 2000, options to acquire a total of 112,500 shares of common stock of
the Company remain outstanding.

(12) TRUST ASSETS: Trust assets and other properties, except cash deposits, held
by the First Victoria National Bank in agency or other fiduciary capacities for
its customers are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The book value of trust
assets was approximately $213,149,000 and $209,811,000 at March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, respectively.

(13) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: In the ordinary course of business, the
Subsidiary Banks make loans to certain directors and executive officers of the
Company, and entities related to those individuals, on substantially the same
terms and conditions as loans to unrelated parties (see Note 5). An analysis of
loans to certain directors and executive officers of the Company and entities
related to those individuals, is provided for the three months ended March 31,
in the following table (in thousands):

      Approximately 13.87% of the Company's outstanding stock was owned by
principal shareholders, directors, and executive officers of the Company at
March 31, 2000.

      The aggregate deposits owned by principal shareholders, directors, and
executive officers of the Company at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
amounted to approximately 2.21% and 1.97%, respectively, of total deposits.

(14) OTHER BORROWINGS: The following table represents the contractual principal
reductions due on the other borrowings of the Company as of March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, in thousands. The weighted average contractual rate on the
balances of other borrowings outstanding was 6.72% and 6.69% as of March 31,

(15) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY: On January 26, 2000, the Parent Company's Board of
Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $.35 per share that was paid on
February 18, 2000 to shareholders of record as of February 4, 2000. In addition,
on April 26, 2000 the Parent Company's Board of Directors declared a regular
cash dividend of $.35 per share payable on May 19, 2000 to shareholders of
record as of May 5, 2000. The principal source of the Parent Company's cash
revenues is dividends from First Victoria National Bank. There are certain
limitations on the payment of dividends to the Parent Company

by the Subsidiary Banks. The prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency ("OCC") is required if the total of all dividends declared by a
national bank in any calendar year would exceed the bank's net profits, as
defined, for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding
two calendar years less any required transfers to surplus. In order to fund the
acquisition of Citizens Bank of Texas, First Victoria National Bank paid a
dividend to the Parent Company for which it was required to receive the prior
approval of the OCC. The OCC approved the special dividend and it approved
future quarterly dividends to fund the standard cash dividend of the Parent
Company, provided that First Victoria National Bank's net income during future
quarters is sufficient to support such quarterly dividends. The weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
2,372,848. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during 1999 was
2,372,792.

      The Parent Company and the Subsidiary Banks are subject to various capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory -- and possibly
additional discretionary -- actions by regulators which, if undertaken, could
have a direct material effect on the Subsidiary Banks' financial statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Subsidiary Banks must meet specific capital guidelines
that involve quantitative measures of the Subsidiary Banks' assets, liabilities
and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Subsidiary Banks' capital amounts and classifications are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings and other factors.

      Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital
adequacy require the Subsidiary Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios
(set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31,
2000, that the Subsidiary Banks have satisfied all capital adequacy requirements
to which they are subject.

      As of March 31, 2000, the most recent notification from the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency categorized each of the Subsidiary Banks as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as well capitalized, the banks must maintain minimum total
risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based capital and Tier I leverage ratios as set
forth in the table below (dollars in thousands). There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the
Subsidiary Banks' categories. Presented below are the capital ratios for the
Company as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

(16) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The following methods and assumptions
were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for
which it is practicable to estimate that value.

      The fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices
or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair
value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

FVNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The fair values of loans and leases are determined by dividing the loan
portfolio into various groups having similar characteristics. The expected
future cash flows of each grouping are then discounted using current period end
market rates for similar loans. The assigned discount rate may or may not be the
contractual rate in effect with the obligor. The rate is that at which a loan
with similar credit risk and terms would be entered into at the balance sheet
date and is determined using the Company's internal credit quality ranking and
pricing system.

      The fair values of time deposits are determined by dividing the deposits
into groups having similar characteristics. The expected future cash flows of
each grouping are then discounted using current period end market rates for
similar deposits.

      The fair values of other borrowings are determined by dividing the
borrowings into groups having similar characteristics. The future cash flows of
each grouping are then discounted using current period end market rates for
similar borrowings.

      The fair values of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and accrued
interest payable and receivable are assumed to approximate book value due to
their short term nature. The fair values of demand deposits, savings deposits,
and money market and NOW accounts are also assumed to approximate book value and
reflect the amounts payable on demand as of the period end date.

      The fair values of letters of credit and loan commitments are estimated
using fees charged to enter into similar agreements. The estimated fair values
of these instruments are not deemed to be significant.

      The following table represents the estimated fair values of the Company's
financial instruments, in thousands:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

      The following discussion and analysis presents the significant changes in
the results of operations and financial condition for the periods indicated. The
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes and supplemental data included in this report.

ACQUISITIONS

      On April 14, 2000, First Victoria National Bank paid approximately
$6,722,000 to acquire Mid-Coast Savings Bank. The Bank acquired net loans of
approximately $23,950,000 and deposits of approximately $33,532,000. Upon
completion of the transaction, Mid-Coast Savings Bank merged with First Victoria
National Bank and its existing branches, located in Edna and Ganado, Texas,
began operating as branches of First Victoria National Bank. Total intangible
assets associated with the acquisition were approximately $3,998,000.

      On January 29, 1999, FVNB Corp. paid approximately $17,384,000 to acquire
CBOT Financial Corporation, the parent company of Citizens Bank of Texas, N.A.
and Citizens Mortgage Company. The Parent Company acquired net loans of
approximately $55,755,000 and deposits of approximately $82,432,000. Total
intangible assets associated with the acquisition were approximately $9,221,000.
Citizens Bank of Texas continues to operate as an independent subsidiary of the
Parent Company. The existing banking facilities located in New Waverly,
Huntsville and The Woodlands, Texas have kept the name Citizens Bank of Texas.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company recorded net income
of approximately $2,061,000, or $.87 basic earnings per share, compared to
approximately $1,509,000, or $.64 basic earnings per share, for the same period
in 1999. The return on average assets of 1.28% and return on average equity of
13.74% for the first three months of 2000 compare to amounts of .96% and 10.74%,
respectively, for the same period in 1999.

NET INTEREST INCOME

      Net interest income, for the three months ended March 31, 2000, amounted
to approximately $6,390,000 compared to $5,662,000 for the same period in 1999.
This represents an increase of approximately $728,000, or 12.86% due primarily
to an overall increase in the yields on earning assets as well as a shift in the
mix of earning assets from investment securities into higher yielding loans.
Average earning assets increased approximately $2,153,000, or .37%, from
$583,075,000 at March 31, 1999, to $585,228,000 at March 31, 2000. The
corresponding yields on these assets increased approximately 82 basis points
from 7.21% to 8.03% over the same period. Average interest bearing liabilities
decreased approximately $3,710,000 or .78%, from $478,217,000 at March 31, 1999
to $474,507,000 at March 31, 2000. The corresponding cost of funds increased
over the same period approximately 30 basis points from 3.99% to 4.29%.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

      The Company's general strategy with regard to asset/liability and interest
rate risk management is to match maturities and amounts of interest rate
sensitive assets with maturities and amounts of interest rate sensitive
liabilities in such a manner as to minimize risk exposure resulting from changes
in market rates. While matching interest rate sensitivity will provide some
insulation from adverse changes in market rates, it will not assure a stable net
interest spread, as yields and rates may change simultaneously but in varying
degrees. Such changes in market rates and spreads could materially affect the
overall net interest income spread even in situations where asset/liability
sensitivities are perfectly matched.

      The Company calculates and monitors interest rate sensitivity in various
ways. One method of calculating interest rate sensitivity is through gap
analysis. A gap is the difference between the amount of interest rate sensitive
assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities that reprice or mature in a given
time period. Positive gaps occur when interest rate sensitive assets exceed
interest rate sensitive liabilities, and negative gaps occur when interest rate
sensitive liabilities exceed interest rate sensitive assets. A positive gap
position in a period of rising interest rates should normally have a positive
effect on net interest income since assets will generally reprice faster than
liabilities. Conversely, net interest income should normally contract somewhat
in a period of declining interest rates. This type of analysis should be used
with caution, however, since gap positions at any given time may be quickly
changed by management in response to market conditions.

      Since market rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and
liabilities equally or at the same time, simulation analysis is also employed by
the Company to supplement its gap analysis and further quantify interest rate
risk exposure in various rate environments. On an ongoing basis, the Company
reviews its internal pricing strategies in conjunction with its gap position in
order to appropriately price deposit and loan products in response to
anticipated market rate conditions. In addition, various investment securities
are considered for purchase that include a balance of short term fixed rate
instruments to limit exposure in a stable rate environment as well as variable
rate instruments to guard against exposure to falling interest margins in a
rising rate environment.

      While future interest rates and their effects on portfolio equity cannot
be accurately predicted, it is not expected that future changes in rates will
have a material adverse impact on the Company's net interest income or portfolio
equity. Calculations of the potential impact of hypothetical interest rate
changes are based on numerous assumptions including levels of market rates,
prepayments and deposit runoffs and should not be considered indicative of
actual results. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar
maturity or periods of repricing they may react at different times and in
different degrees to changes in the market interest rates. The interest rates on
certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in
market interest rates, while rates on other types of assets and liabilities may
lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable
rate mortgage loans, generally have features which restrict changes in interest
rates on a short term basis and over the life of the asset. Additionally, an
increased credit risk may result as the ability of many borrowers to service
their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. During the
three months ended March 31, 2000, there have been no material changes in the
Company's market risk.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

      Total non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000, was
approximately $2,433,000 compared to $1,782,000 for the same period in 1999.
This represents an increase of approximately $651,000, or 36.53%. During the
three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company sold no investment securities. In
addition, there were no called bonds during the period ended March 31, 2000.
During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company sold various fixed
rate securities resulting in a net gain of approximately $9,000. These
transactions are discussed in further detail in Note 4 to the consolidated
financial statements. Trust service fees decreased approximately $81,000, or
15.11% from 1999 to 2000 due primarily to the recognition and timing of various
annual fee assessments recorded in the first quarter of 1999. Service charges
and fees on deposit accounts increased approximately $105,000, or 11.03%, due to
an increase in the volume of insufficient funds charges as well as additional
fee income recorded by the Company as a result of the acquisition of Citizens
Bank of Texas and Citizens Mortgage Company in 1999. Other non-interest income
increased approximately $638,000, or 225.44%. This increase was due to growth in
commission fee income as well as the addition of rental income related to the
operating lease of an aircraft discussed in detail in Note 18 to the
consolidated financial statements. Gains or losses recorded by the Company
related to the sale of assets were not material during the three months ended
March 31, 2000 or 1999.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

      Total non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000, was
approximately $5,554,000 compared to $5,088,000 for the same period in 1999.
This represents an increase of approximately $466,000, or 9.16%. Salaries and
wages increased approximately $192,000, or 8.16%, from 1999 to 2000 due
primarily to the acquisition of Citizens Bank of Texas and Citizens Mortgage
Company as well as normal ongoing merit increases. Employee benefits decreased
approximately $85,000, or 18.28%, due primarily to lower costs associated with
group medical insurance and pension plans recorded during the first three months
of 2000 by First Victoria National Bank. Furniture and equipment expense
increased approximately $255,000, or 108.97% due primarily to additional
depreciation expense recognized on the aircraft recorded on the Company's books
as a result of the operating lease transaction discussed in Note 18 to the
consolidated financial statements. Professional fees decreased approximately
$80,000, or 27.78% from 1999 to 2000 due primarily to the write-off of
organizational costs by the Company in January 1999 related to legal services
performed during the formation of the Parent Company as required by AICPA
Statement of Position 98-5. Additional professional fees were also recognized in
1999 as a result of the acquisition of Citizens Bank of Texas. Amortization of
goodwill and intangibles increased approximately $58,000, or 42.96%, from 1999
to 2000 due directly to the amortization of goodwill recognized as a result of
the acquisition of Citizens Bank of Texas. Other components of non-interest
expense include net occupancy expense, communication and supplies expense,
marketing and advertising and FDIC insurance premiums. Each of these categories
changed only nominally from 1999 to 2000 as the result of normal operations and
growth of the Company.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

      The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level
considered appropriate by management and is based on the ongoing assessment of
the risks inherent in the loan and lease portfolio, as well as on the possible
impact of known and potential problems in certain off-balance sheet financial
instruments and uncertainties. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance,
management incorporates such factors as local and national economic trends,
volume of past due and seriously delinquent loans, non-performing loans, loan
concentrations, and other similar factors. These considerations are not limited
to previous collection experience but also include estimates of the effect of
changing business trends and other environmental conditions. The determination
of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses can be made only on a
judgmental basis. Management of the Company believes that the allowance for loan
and lease losses at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 was adequate to cover
expected losses based on economic circumstances known or anticipated at that
time. As conditions are continually changing, it is necessary for management to
review the loan and lease portfolio and market conditions and make appropriate
adjustments to the allowance. Any necessary changes to the allowance resulting
from revised loss estimates will be reflected in future earnings.

      The allowance for loan and lease losses was approximately $4,493,000 or
1.11%, of total loans and leases at March 31, 2000, compared to $4,573,000, or
1.18%, of total loans and leases at December 31, 1999. Net loans charged-off
were approximately $130,000 compared to net loans recovered of approximately
$18,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

      The Company accounts for impaired loans and leases in accordance with SFAS
No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS
No. 118 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition
and Disclosure". These standards address the accounting by creditors for the
impairment of certain loans and leases as well as the accounting for troubled
debt restructurings. A loan and lease is impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect
all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the loan or lease
agreement. The standards allow impaired loans that fall within the scope of SFAS
No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, to be measured based on the present value
of expected

future cash flows for each loan or lease discounted at the effective interest
rate or, as a practical expedient, at the observable market price or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Total impaired
loans and leases on the Company's books (including non-accrual and restructured
loans) amounted to approximately $1,652,000 and $1,709,000 as of March 31, 2000
and December 31, 1999, respectively. As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
approximately $551,000 and $471,000, respectively, of the allowance for loan and
lease losses was allocated specifically to these loans.

respectively. The Company recorded no gains or losses on sales of foreclosed
assets during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and net gains of
approximately $2,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY

      Liquidity is the Company's ability to meet potential depositor
withdrawals, to provide for customer credit needs, to maintain adequate
statutory reserve levels, and to take full advantage of investment opportunities
as they arise. The liquidity position of the Company is continuously monitored
and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as
deemed appropriate.

      Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily
marketable or which will mature in the near future ("liquid assets"). These
include federal funds sold, time deposits in banks, investment securities and
loans which are nearing maturity. At March 31, 2000, the Company's liquidity
ratio defined as liquid assets as a percentage of deposits was 27.01%. Liability
liquidity is provided by access to funding sources, principally core depositors
and correspondent banks which maintain accounts with and sell federal funds to
the Subsidiary Banks.

CAPITAL

      On January 26, 2000, the Parent Company's Board of Directors declared a
regular cash dividend of $.35 per share that was paid on February 18, 2000 to
shareholders of record as of February 4, 2000. In addition, on April 26, 2000,
the Parent Company's Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $.35
per share payable on May 19, 2000 to shareholders of record as of May 5, 2000.
The principal source of the Parent Company's cash revenues is dividends from
First Victoria National Bank, and there are certain limitations on the payment
of dividends to the Parent Company by the Subsidiary Banks. The prior approval
of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") is required if the
total of all

dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year would exceed the
bank's net profits, as defined, for that year combined with its retained net
profits for the preceding two calendar years less any required transfers to
surplus. In order to fund the acquisition of Citizens Bank of Texas, First
Victoria National Bank paid a dividend to the Parent Company for which it was
required to receive the prior approval of the OCC. The OCC approved the special
dividend and it approved future quarterly dividends to fund the standard cash
dividend of the Parent Company, provided that First Victoria National Bank's net
income during future quarters is sufficient to support such quarterly dividends.

      The federal banking agencies have issued comprehensive guidelines
implementing risk-based capital requirements. The guidelines make regulatory
capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among
banking organizations, take off-balance sheet exposure into account in assessing
capital adequacy and encourage the holding of liquid, low-risk assets. Under
these guidelines, at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company was
required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital-to-risk-weighted assets of
8.00% of which at least 4.00% must be in the form of Tier I capital. Tier I
capital is comprised of the Company's common stock, surplus and retained
earnings exclusive of goodwill. As of March 31, 2000 the Company had recorded
goodwill of approximately $10,526,000 related to branch and bank acquisitions.
At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the percent of total
capital-to-risk-weighted assets was 13.12% and 13.28%, respectively, and
currently exceeds the regulatory requirements. The Company's Tier I capital
ratio as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 was 12.12% and 12.23%,
respectively, and well in excess of the required ratios.

      Tier I leverage ratio is defined as the Company's Tier I capital divided
by its adjusted average total assets (net of allowance for loan losses). The
minimum leverage ratio is 3.00% for banking organizations carrying the highest
regulatory rating. Other institutions are expected to maintain a leverage ratio
of at least 4.00% to 5.00% depending upon their particular condition. At March
31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company's Tier I leverage ratio was 8.46%
and 8.40%, respectively, which exceeds the regulatory minimum.

THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

      The Year 2000 issue involved certain assumptions that were incorporated
into the design of many existing computer programs. To conserve expensive
computer storage space, many older computer programs determine dates using only
two digits to identify the year. In some systems, the assumption that 1900 is
the century causes these programs to treat "00" as 1900 rather than 2000. This
assumption could cause computer programs and hardware to fail entirely or create
erroneous or meaningless results. The Company relies heavily on software
applications that could be affected by Year 2000 issues.

      Achieving Year 2000 compliance was one of the Company's highest
priorities. Senior management and the Board of Directors were actively involved
in overseeing Year 2000 compliance efforts to ensure that the Company adequately
handled all required aspects of the century date change, including application
systems, system interfaces, operations and facilities. To that end, the Board
adopted a Year 2000 Project Plan which was developed using the guidelines
outlined in the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's ("FFIEC")
interagency statement "Year 2000 Project Management Awareness". The Year 2000
Project Plan consisted of five phases: awareness, assessment, renovation,
validation and implementation. The program produced the appropriate level of
preparedness, consistent with the guidelines issued by federal banking
regulators.

      As of the date of this filing, the Company has not experienced any Year
2000 problems that have affected its operations, the realization of financial
assets, or its results of operations. The Company will continue to monitor its
operations to ensure that there are no undetected Year 2000 problems that could
have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operations. The Company
believes that there is no remaining significant risk or exposure to the Company
as a result of the Year 2000 issue.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

            While future interest rates and their effects on portfolio equity
cannot be accurately predicted, it is not expected that future changes in rates
will have a material adverse impact on the Company's net interest income or
portfolio equity. Calculations of the potential impact of hypothetical interest
rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including levels of market rates,
prepayments and deposit runoffs and should not be considered indicative of
actual results. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar
maturity or periods of repricing they may react at different times and in
different degrees to changes in the market interest rates. The interest rates on
certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in
market interest rates, while rates on other types of assets and liabilities may
lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable
rate mortgage loans, generally have features which restrict changes in interest
rates on a short term basis and over the life of the asset. Additionally, an
increased credit risk may result as the ability of many borrowers to service
their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. During the
three months ended March 31, 2000, there have been no material changes in the
Company's market risk.

                     AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

      AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION ("Agreement") dated as of January 27,
2000, by and between FIRST VICTORIA NATIONAL BANK, a national banking
association ("FVNB"), Mid-Coast Savings Bank, S.S.B., a Texas savings bank,
Edna, Texas ("MID-COAST") and FVNB Corp., a Texas corporation and the parent
bank holding company of FVNB.

      WHEREAS, FVNB and MID-COAST believe that the Merger (as defined herein in
ss. 1.1) of MID-COAST with a to-be-formed interim bank ("Interim Bank")
wholly-owned by FVNB Corp. all in the manner provided by, and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in, this Agreement and all exhibits, schedules
and supplements hereto, is desirable and in the best interests of their
respective institutions and shareholders; and

      WHEREAS, FVNB is unwilling to enter into this Agreement unless,
contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
beneficial and record shareholders of MID-COAST holding at least a majority of
the issued and outstanding common stock of MID-COAST enter into agreements in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the "SHAREHOLDERS
AGREEMENT") generally providing for the approval of the Agreement by such
shareholders and in order to induce FVNB to enter into this Agreement, MID-COAST
has approved the entering into by FVNB and such shareholders of the Shareholders
Agreement and such shareholders have agreed to enter into, execute and deliver
the Shareholders Agreement; and


      WHEREAS,  immediately after the Merger, FVNB Corp. will cause MID-COAST,
as the surviving bank in the Merger, to be merged with and into FVNB; and

      WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of MID-COAST and FVNB have
approved this Agreement and the proposed transactions substantially on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

                                  ARTICLE I

                                  THE MERGER

      SECTION 1.1 THE MERGER. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein and in the Agreement and Plan of Merger in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B, with such changes thereto as may be appropriate to satisfy the
requirements of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") or the
Texas Savings and Loan Department ("TSLD") (the "Merger Agreement"), and in
accordance with the provisions of the Texas Finance Code (the "TFC"), Interim
Bank shall be merged with and into MID-COAST (the "Merger") as soon as
practicable following the satisfaction or waiver, if permissible, of the
conditions set forth in Article VII hereof. Following the Merger, MID-COAST, as
the surviving bank (the "Surviving
<PAGE>
Bank"), will be merged with and into FVNB and the separate existence of
MID-COAST shall cease (the merger and the subsequent merger of MID-COAST with
and into FVNB being herein referred to as the "Mergers").

      SECTION 1.2 EFFECTIVE TIME. The Merger shall be effective when deemed
effective by the TSLD (the "Effective Time").

      SECTION 1.3 CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE MERGER. The Merger shall have the
effects set forth in the TFC.

      SECTION 1.4 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. The Articles of
Incorporation and the Bylaws of MID-COAST, in each case as in effect at the
Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
Surviving Bank; however, upon the consummation of the subsequent merger of
Surviving Bank with and into FVNB, the Articles of Incorporation and the By-laws
of FVNB in each case as in effect at the effective time of such merger, shall be
the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of FVNB as the Surviving Bank.

      SECTION 1.5 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The directors and officers of
MID-COAST at the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the
Surviving Bank; however, upon the consummation of the subsequent merger of
Surviving Bank with and into FVNB, the directors and officers of FVNB shall be
the directors and officers of FVNB as the Surviving Bank.

      SECTION 1.6 CONVERSION OF SHARES. (a) Each share of MID-COAST's common
stock ("MID-COAST Common Stock" or "Shares"), issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time ("Common Shares Outstanding"), other than Dissenting
Shares (as defined in Section 2.1), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without
any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and represent
the right to receive the consideration payable as set forth below (the "Merger
Consideration") to the holder of record thereof, without interest thereon, upon
surrender of the certificate representing such Shares. At the Closing (as
hereinafter defined in Section 1.9), MID-COAST shall calculate and certify to
FVNB and Interim Bank the number of Common Shares Outstanding.

      (b) Each holder of MID-COAST Common Stock shall receive, for each share of
MID-COAST Common Stock so held, Merger Consideration equal to the quotient of
(i) $6,722,000 DIVIDED BY (ii) the number of Common Shares Outstanding.

      (c) Each share of capital stock of Interim Bank issued and outstanding
immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted into and become, by
virtue of the Merger, one share of capital stock of the Surviving Bank.

      SECTION 1.7 PAYMENT OF CONSIDERATION.

            (a) Interim Bank shall deposit or cause to be deposited in trust
      with FVNB (the "Exchange Agent") prior to the Effective Time cash in an
      aggregate amount sufficient to make the cash payments pursuant to Section
      1.6 hereof and to make the appropriate cash payments, if any, to holders
      of Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof (such amounts being
      hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"). The Exchange Agent shall
      make the payments of the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in
      accordance with Section 1.7(b). Payments to holders of Dissenting

                                       2
<PAGE>
      Shares shall be made as required by the Texas Business Corporation Act
      (the "TBCA"). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose,
      except as provided in this Agreement.

            (b) Ten days prior to the Closing, MID-COAST shall provide the
      Exchange Agent with a then current list of record shareholders of
      MID-COAST, including the name, address, amount of shares held and the
      certificate numbers of each shareholder (the "Shareholder List"). Within
      two business days after the Closing, MID-COAST shall provide Exchange
      Agent with any changes to the Shareholder List which occurred prior to the
      Closing. Following the Closing, the former officers of MID-COAST shall use
      their best efforts to assist the Exchange Agent in locating any
      shareholder of MID-COAST who the Exchange Agent is not able to locate
      based on the information included in the Shareholder List. Within five
      days after receipt of the Shareholder List from MID-COAST, the Exchange
      Agent shall mail to each record holder of an outstanding certificate or
      certificates which represent shares of MID-COAST Common Stock (the
      "Certificates"), a form letter of transmittal (attached hereto as Exhibit
      C) which will specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss
      and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the
      Certificates to the Exchange Agent and contain instructions for use in
      effecting the surrender of the Certificates for payment therefor. The
      letter of transmittal shall provide that each holder of MID-COAST Common
      Stock shall receive the consideration due to him pursuant to the Agreement
      by check sent by first class mail. At and after the Closing (as defined
      herein) and upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate,
      together with such letter of transmittal duly executed, the holder of such
      Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount
      of cash provided in Section 1.6 hereof in the manner described herein, and
      such Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Payment will be made for the
      shares of MID-COAST Common Stock within three business days after the
      later of (i) the Exchange Agent's receipt of the related Certificates and
      a properly completed letter of transmittal and (ii) the Closing. No
      interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon surrender of the
      Certificates. If payment of cash is to be made to a person other than the
      person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall
      be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be
      properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the
      person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes
      required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered
      holder of the Certificate surrendered or established to the satisfaction
      of FVNB that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until
      surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.7, each
      Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall
      represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger
      Consideration payable with respect thereto without any interest thereon.

            (c) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any
      investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of
      MID-COAST for six months after the Effective Time shall be paid to FVNB
      Corp., and the holders of shares of MID-COAST Common Stock not theretofore
      presented to the Exchange Agent shall look to FVNB Corp. only, and not the
      Exchange Agent, for the payment of any Merger Consideration in respect of
      such shares.

      SECTION 1.8 APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS. This Agreement shall be submitted to
the shareholders of MID-COAST in accordance with applicable provisions of law
and the respective

                                       3
<PAGE>
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of MID-COAST. MID-COAST and FVNB shall use
their best efforts to obtain all requisite shareholder approvals related to the
Mergers within sixty (60) days from the date of this Agreement. MID-COAST and
FVNB shall proceed expeditiously and cooperate fully in the procurement of any
other consents and approvals and the taking of any other actions in satisfaction
of all other requirements prescribed by law or otherwise necessary for
consummation of the Mergers on the terms herein provided, including, without
limitation, the preparation and submission of all necessary filings, requests
for waivers and certificates with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System ("FRB"), the OCC, the TSLD, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC").

      SECTION 1.9 CLOSING. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof,
as soon as practicable after the receipt of all required regulatory approvals in
connection with the Mergers and the expiration of all applicable waiting periods
and the satisfaction or waiver, if permissible, of each of the other conditions
set forth in Article VII hereof, the parties hereto shall take all actions as
may be required by law to make the Mergers effective. Prior to the Effective
Time, a closing (the "Closing") will be held at the main office of FVNB in
Victoria, Texas (or such other place as the parties may agree) for the purpose
of confirming all of the foregoing. In no event, however, shall the Closing
occur prior to April 1, 2000 or later than one hundred eighty (180) days
following the date of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by FVNB and
MID-COAST.

                                  ARTICLE II

                              DISSENTING SHARES

      SECTION 2.1 DISSENTING SHARES. Each share of MID-COAST Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the holder of which has
not voted in favor of the Merger and who has delivered a written demand for
payment of the fair value of such shares within the time and in the manner
provided in Article 5.12 of the TBCA, is referred to herein as a "Dissenting
Share." Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to
receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement
unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have
effectively withdrawn or lost his right to appraisal and payment under the TBCA.
If any such holder shall have so failed to perfect or shall have effectively
withdrawn or lost such right, such holder's Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be
deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, at the
Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any
interest thereon. As set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, if the holders
of more than 5% of the MID-COAST Common Stock shall have exercised their
dissenters' rights, FVNB shall have no obligation to consummate the Mergers.

                                 ARTICLE III

                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF
                                  MID-COAST

      MID-COAST hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in
this Article III to FVNB. MID-COAST has delivered to FVNB the Schedules to this
Agreement referred to in this Article III prior to the date hereof.

of MID-COAST are necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to

validly authorized by its Board of Directors. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by MID-COAST and is a duly authorized, valid, legally

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws
relating to creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles and

entirety, nor the consummation by MID-COAST of all of the transactions
contemplated hereby, following the receipt of such approvals, including any
applicable waiting periods, as may be required from the OCC, FDIC, FRB and the
TSLD, will (i) violate (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of

ordinance or regulation applicable to MID-COAST or (ii) be in conflict with,

properties are subject or bound. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.4, or as
contemplated hereby, the corporate existence, business organization, assets,
licenses, permits, authorizations and contracts of MID-COAST will not be

      SECTION 3.7 SECURITIES ISSUANCES. MID-COAST is not subject to the

Texas, and all other applicable laws or were exempt from any such registration
requirements.

      SECTION 3.8 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. MID-COAST has provided FVNB with a true
and complete copy of (i) the audited balance sheet of MID-COAST as of December
31, 1998, and the related statements of income, shareholders' equity and
statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997; and
(ii) Reports of Condition and Statements of Income ("Call Reports") of MID-COAST
as of June 30, 1999, and September 30, 1999 (such statements of financial
position and the related statements of income, shareholders' equity and changes
in cash flows are collectively referred to herein as the "Audited Financial
Statements") (collectively, with the Audited Financial Statements and the notes
and schedules thereto, and the Call Reports referred to as the "Financial
Statements"). Except as described in the notes to the Audited Financial
Statements, the Financial Statements fairly present the financial position of
MID-COAST, as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and changes in
financial position of MID-COAST for the periods then ended, in conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applied on a basis consistent with
prior periods ("GAAP") (subject, in the

                                       6
<PAGE>
case of the unaudited interim financial statements, to normal year-end
adjustments and the fact that they do not contain all of the footnote
disclosures required by GAAP), except as otherwise noted therein, and the
accounting records underlying the Audited Financial Statements accurately and
fairly reflect in all material respects the transactions of MID-COAST. As of
their dates, the Audited Financial Statements conformed in all material respects
with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the TSLD. MID-COAST
does not have any liabilities or obligations of a type which should be included
in or reflected on the Financial Statements if prepared in accordance with GAAP,
whether related to tax or non-tax matters, accrued or contingent, due or not yet
due, liquidated or unliquidated, or otherwise, except as and to the extent
disclosed or reflected in the Financial Statements or as set forth on Schedule
3.8. MID-COAST will provide FVNB with the unaudited statements of financial
position of MID-COAST as of the end of each month hereafter, prepared on a basis

related contracts of a similar nature which in the aggregate obligate or may
obligate MID-COAST in the aggregate for an amount in excess of $25,000 over the
entire term of such related contracts (the "Contracts"). MID-COAST has delivered

bankers acceptances of, agreements with customers for trust services, or
deposits by MID-COAST, but does include unfunded loan commitments and letters of

indirect indebtedness to MID-COAST is in excess of $50,000. Except as set forth
in Schedule 3.14, no participations or loans have been sold which have buy back,
recourse or guaranty provisions which create contingent or direct liabilities of
MID-COAST. All of the Contracts are legal, valid and binding obligations of the
parties to the Contracts enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to
the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other
similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally and to general equitable
principles, and are in full force and effect. Except as described in Schedule
3.14, all rent and other payments by MID-COAST under the Contracts are current,
there are no existing defaults by MID-COAST under the Contracts and no
termination, condition or other event has occurred which (whether with or

                                       12
<PAGE>
without notice, lapse of time or the happening or occurrence of any other event)
would constitute a default. MID-COAST has a good and valid leasehold interest in
each parcel of real property leased by it free and clear of all mortgages,
pledges, liens, encumbrances and security interests. Except for loan and deposit
accounts entered into with MID-COAST in the ordinary course of business or as

contract, agreement, commitment or understanding with any shareholder of
MID-COAST or any Affiliate of any such shareholder.

      SECTION 3.15 RELATED COMPANY TRANSACTIONS. Except as set forth on
Schedules 3.11, 3.12(a), 3.12(b), 3.12(c), 3.13, 3.14 and 3.15, there are no
agreements, instruments, commitments, extensions of credit, tax sharing or
allocation agreements or other contractual agreements of any kind between or

statute, law, ordinance, rule, order or regulation of any governmental
department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, federal, state
or local, including (for purposes of illustration and not limitation) the Bank
Secrecy Act, capital and FRB reserve requirements, capital ratios and loan
limitations of the TSLD. MID-COAST and each of its subsidiaries have all
permits, licenses, and franchises from governmental agencies required to conduct

(including fidelity bonds) described in Schedule 3.17 and has had similar
insurance in force for the last 5 years. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.17,
there have been no claims under such fidelity bonds within the last 5 years and
to the knowledge of MID-COAST no facts exist which would form the basis of a
claim under such bonds. MID-COAST has no reason to believe that the existing
fidelity coverage would not be renewed by its carrier on substantially the same
terms unless such failure to renew is based upon any pending claim.

      SECTION 3.18 LOANS. Each loan, including, without limitation, each loan in
which MID-COAST holds a participation interest, reflected as an asset in the
Financial Statements or the books of MID-COAST (collectively, "Loans") is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor of each Loan, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws relating to creditors' rights
generally and to general equitable principles; provided, however, that no
representation or warranty is made as to the collectability of such Loans. All
such Loans were made or purchased in the ordinary course of MID-COAST's
business, have been made in accordance with reasonable and prudent banking
practices, and priced similarly to all other similar Loans of MID-COAST.
MID-COAST owns each such Loan free and clear of all liens, claims and
encumbrances, except a Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas lien on 1-4 family
residential mortgages. MID-COAST does not have in its portfolio any Loan
exceeding its legal lending limit. Schedule 3.18 sets forth, as of September 30,
1999, a list of all of the outstanding Loans of MID-COAST that were classified
as delinquent, substandard, doubtful, loss, nonperforming or problem Loans in
connection with the most recent examination of MID-COAST or were

this Agreement, none of MID-COAST, or any of its respective shareholders,
directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives shall provide
information to any other person in connection with a possible acquisition of

respect to legal requirements relating to public disclosure of matters related

MID-COAST and FVNB.

      SECTION 6.8 TREATMENT OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. All benefit plans of
MID-COAST shall be terminated by MID-COAST prior to the consummation of the
Merger. FVNB agrees that the employees of MID-COAST will be entitled to
participate in all the employee benefit plans maintained by FVNB for its
employees, in accordance with their respective terms; provided, however,
employees of MID-COAST will receive credit for the term of their employment with
MID-COAST with respect to eligibility and vesting matters only but not with
respect to contribution or allocation of benefits or any other matters.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to limit or
prohibit the ability of FVNB or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to amend,
modify or terminate any of such employee benefit plans after the Effective Time.

written report of the results shall be delivered to FVNB upon receipt of the
written report by MID-COAST.

      (b) FVNB shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the
Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey
identifies any past or present violations or potential violations of
Environmental Laws or any event, condition or circumstance that, based on the
estimates of the environmental professionals referred to in this Section 6.9,
may currently or in the future require or result in expenditures in connection
with (1) fines, penalties or other damages, (2) investigation, remediation or
monitoring of any Controlled Property (including without limitation eventual
removal of asbestos-containing material), (3) preparing and obtaining approval
by the appropriate Environmental Regulatory Authority of remediation plans with
respect to Controlled Properties, or (4) any violations of applicable
Environmental Laws, which expenditures individually or in the aggregate may
exceed $25,000; provided, however, that to the extent such expenditures are
expected to be in excess of $25,000, MID-COAST may elect to pay or agree to pay
such excess expenditures, in which event (a) FVNB shall not have the right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph (b) as a result of such
expected expenditures being in excess of $25,000, and (b) the Merger
Consideration to be paid to the holders of the Shares pursuant to Article I
hereof shall be reduced by the amount by which such expected expenditures exceed

engineers and consultants who prepared or furnished such reports may discuss
such reports and information with FVNB and shall be entitled to certify the same
in favor of FVNB and its consultants, agents and representatives in such a
manner which will entitle FVNB to rely upon such reports and make all other data
available to FVNB and its consultants, agents and representatives. FVNB shall
keep confidential the reports, surveys and results relating to and of the
Environmental Inspections, unless otherwise required by law. In the event this
Agreement is terminated for any reason, FVNB shall repair and restore any and
all damage to any Property, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
MID-COAST and its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and
representatives from any and all claims, losses, or liabilities for any damage
to property or injury to persons, arising from or in connection with any
inspection conducted pursuant to Sections 5.1(m) or 6.9(a) hereof.

or information statement (the "Proxy Statement") relating to a meeting of the
shareholders of MID-COAST called for the purpose of approving the Merger. FVNB
shall furnish all information concerning FVNB as MID-COAST may reasonably
request in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement. MID-COAST
shall give FVNB and its counsel the opportunity to review and comment on the
Proxy Statement and each document to be incorporated by reference therein prior
to its dissemination.

      (b) Unless otherwise required pursuant to the applicable fiduciary duties
of MID-COAST's Board (as determined in good faith by MID-COAST's Board based
upon the advice of its outside counsel), no material amendment or supplement to
the Proxy Statement will be made by MID-COAST without the approval of FVNB,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to the shareholders of MID-COAST

untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading.

      (d) The information supplied or to be supplied by FVNB for inclusion in
the Proxy Statement will not, at the time it is supplied to MID-COAST, contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made therein not misleading.

      SECTION 6.11 RESERVES. Immediately prior to the Closing, MID-COAST shall
establish such additional accruals and reserves as may be necessary to conform
MID-COAST's accounting and loan loss reserve practices and methods of those of

commitments for title insurance and boundary surveys for each owned bank
facility which shall be delivered to FVNB no later than four (4) weeks from the
date of this Agreement.

      SECTION 6.13 YEAR 2000. MID-COAST will cooperate with FVNB to assess the
impact of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on MID-COAST's
continued compliance with the regulatory requirements regarding Year 2000
preparedness applicable to MID-COAST and MID-COAST will take such action, on
consultation with FVNB, as may be necessary to amend the MID-COAST Year 2000
project assessment and remediation plan.

      SECTION 6.14 NOTIFICATION. MID-COAST shall give prompt notice to FVNB, and
FVNB shall give prompt notice to MID-COAST, of (i) any representation or
warranty made by it in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate in any
material respect or (ii) the failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any
material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or
satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such
notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties
under this Agreement.

      SECTION 6.15 DIRECTOR AND OFFICER INDEMNIFICATION. (a) FVNB agrees that
all rights to indemnification that the directors and officers of MID-COAST have
pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of MID-COAST as of the date
of this Agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and
effect. Nothing contained in this Section 6.15 shall require FVNB to indemnify
any person who was a director or officer of MID-COAST to a greater extent then
MID-COAST is as of the date of this Agreement, required to indemnify any such
person. The indemnification provisions contained in the Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation dated April 27, 1995 and the Amended and Restated
Bylaws dated June 22, 1995 of MID-COAST are in effect as of the date of this
Agreement and shall not be amended by MID-COAST after the date hereof.

                                  ARTICLE X

inspections, investigations and surveys required by Section 6.9 hereof shall be
reimbursed to MID-COAST by FVNB.

      SECTION 10.2 BROKERS AND FINDERS. All negotiations on behalf of FVNB and
MID-COAST relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement have been carried on by the parties hereto and their respective agents
directly without the intervention of any other person in such manner as to give
rise to any claim against FVNB, FVNB Corp., Interim Bank, or MID-COAST for
financial advisory fees, brokerage or commission fees, finder's fees or other
like payment in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

      SECTION 10.3 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement, including the

parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties or any
of them with respect to the subject matter hereof, and (b) shall not be assigned
by operation of law or otherwise, provided that FVNB may assign its rights and
obligations or those of Interim Bank to any direct or indirect, wholly-owned,
subsidiary of FVNB or FVNB Corp., but no such assignment shall relieve FVNB of

American Arbitration Association. Legal action regarding this Agreement and any
liabilities hereunder shall either be brought by arbitration, as described
herein, or by judicial proceedings-but shall not be pursued in different or
alternative forums. The issue of waiver pursuant to this paragraph is an
arbitrable issue.

      The panel of three arbitrators shall be appointed promptly upon filing of
the complaint in arbitration by the initiating party, and shall be selected from
the Commercial Arbitration Panel in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association. All of the arbitrators shall be
members of the American Arbitration Association, and, if commercially
reasonable, at least two of the arbitrators shall be experienced in the banking
industry. Depositions may be taken and other discovery obtained in any
arbitration under this Agreement. The panel of arbitrators appointed hereunder
shall conduct the arbitration pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association then in effect, except as such rules may be
modified for the purpose of the arbitration proceeding by mutual written
agreement of the parties to this Agreement.

      In the arbitration proceeding subject to these provisions, the
arbitrators, or a majority of them, are specifically empowered to decide (by
documents only, or with a hearing, at the arbitrators sole discretion)
pre-hearing motions which are substantially similar to prehearing motions to
dismiss and motions for summary adjudication.

      The award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties
and judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

      All statutes of limitations which would otherwise be applicable shall
apply to any arbitration proceeding hereunder, provided, however, that the
filing of a complaint in arbitration shall serve to toll such statutes of
limitation to the same extent as they would be tolled if an action had been
filed in a court of competent jurisdiction.

      The provisions of this Section 10.15 shall survive any termination,
amendment, or expiration of the Agreement in which this section is contained,
unless all the parties hereto otherwise expressly agree in writing.

      The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction
involving interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the
interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the arbitration clause
in this Agreement.

      The arbitrators, or a majority of them, shall award attorney's fees and
costs to the prevailing party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

                                       34

      Venue of any arbitration proceeding hereunder will be in Bexar County,
Texas.

      Except as set forth above concerning awards to the prevailing party, each
party shall bear its own expenses in connection with preparation for the
presentation of its case at the arbitration proceedings and the fees and
expenses of the arbitrators and all other expenses of the arbitration (except
those referred to in the preceding sentence) shall be borne equally by the
parties to such arbitration.
