                            SALES AGENCY AGREEMENT



This Second Amendment to Sales Agency Agreement (the "Amendment") is entered 
into as of this 4th day of March, 1997, by and between CAPSTEAD MORTGAGE 
CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and PAINEWEBBER 
INCORPORATED (the "Agent"), as follows:


                                   RECITALS


     WHEREAS, the Company and the Agent have entered into a Sales Agency 
Agreement dated as of December 6, 1995 (the "Original Agreement") and a
Amendment Number 1 to Sales Agency Agreement dated September 10, 1996 (the
"First Amendment" and, together with the Original Agreement, the "Agreement");
and

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Agent desire to amend the Agreement in the 
manner set forth herein so as to conform its provisions to the provisions of 
Regulation M adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to its 
regulatory authority under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 
1940, as amended;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements 
herein contained, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as 
follows:

     Section 1.  Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined 
                 -------------
herein shall have the meaning attributed to them in the Agreement.

     Section 2.  Amendment to Section 3 of the Agreement. Section 3 of the 
                 ---------------------------------------
Agreement is hereby amended to delete the second paragraph thereof and to 
replace said second paragraph with the following:

          The Stock, up to the Maximum Amount, is to be sold during
          one or more pricing periods (each a "Pricing Period"), each
          Pricing Period consisting of five consecutive calendar days
          or such lesser number of days as shall be agreed to by the
          Company and the Agent. The Company and the Agent from time
          to time will designate Pricing Period(s) and the number of
          shares of Stock (not 
<PAGE>
 
          to exceed 60,000 shares) to be sold by the Agent during each
          such Pricing Period (the "Average Market Price Shares"). If
          the Company does not meet the exemptive provisions set forth
          in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M of the Exchange Act, the
          number of Average Market Price Shares and any Additional
          Shares sold on any day in any Pricing Period shall not
          exceed 10% of the average daily trading volume of the Stock
          for the sixty days prior to such Pricing Period. Subject to
          the terms and conditions hereof, the Agent shall use its
          best efforts to (i) sell all of the designated Average
          Market Price Shares during each such Pricing Period, and
          (ii) sell the entire Maximum Amount. The Agent shall sell
          the shares of Stock only by means of ordinary brokers'
          transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE").
          The Agent shall not solicit or arrange for the solicitation
          of customer's orders in anticipation of or in connection
          with such transactions, nor shall it sell short as principal
          shares of Stock of the Company except in connection with
          customary market making activities in the Company's
          outstanding securities. The Agent shall not engage in any
          special selling efforts or selling methods relating to the
          Stock within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M of the
          Exchange Act. The Agent shall calculate on a weekly basis
          the average daily trading volume of the Stock. If either
          party has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions
          set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M of the Exchange
          Act are not satisfied, it shall notify the other party and
          sales of Stock under this Agreement shall be suspended until
          such time as the parties mutually agree to recommence sales
          hereunder. In addition, the Company or the Agent may, upon
          notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed
          promptly by telecopy), suspend the offering of Stock;
          provided, however, that such suspension or termination shall
          --------  -------
          not affect or impair the parties' respective obligations
          with respect to shares of Stock sold hereunder prior to the
          giving of such notice.

     Section 3.   Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed on separate 
                  ------------
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and both of which 
together shall constitute a single agreement.

     Section 4.   Binding Effect.  Except as expressly amended hereby, the 
                  --------------
Agreement shall continue to be and shall remain in full force and effect in 
accordance with its terms. Any reference to the "Agreement" or the "Sales Agency
Agreement" in the Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to the Agreement 
as amended hereby.

                                       2

     Section 5.   Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by, and 
                  -------------
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, United States 
of America, applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within such
jurisdiction.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment as of the 
day and year first above written.

                            SALES AGENCY AGREEMENT

This First Amendment to Sales Agency Agreement (the "Amendment") is entered into
as of this 4th day of March, 1997, by and between CAPSTEAD MORTGAGE 
CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and PAINEWEBBER 
INCORPORATED (the "Agent"), as follows:


                                   RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Agent have entered into a Sales Agency 
Agreement dated as of September 17, 1996 (the "Agreement") relating to the sale
of 4,500,000 shares of $1.26 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B, 
par value $0.10 per share; and 

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Agent desire to amend the Agreement in the 
manner set forth herein so as to conform its provisions to the provisions of 
Regulation M adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to its 
regulatory authority under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 
1940, as amended;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements 
herein contained, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as 
follows:

     Section 1.  Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein 
                 --------------
shall have the meaning attributed to them in the Agreement.

     Section 2.  Amendment to Section 3 of the Agreement.  Section 3 of the 
                 ---------------------------------------
Agreement is hereby amended to delete the second paragraph thereof and to 
replace said second paragraph with the following:

          The Stock, up to the Maximum Amount, is to be sold during
          one or more pricing periods (each a "Pricing Period"), each
          Pricing Period consisting of five consecutive calendar days
          or such lesser number of days as shall be agreed to by the
          Company and the Agent. The Company and the Agent from time
          to time will designate Pricing Period(s) and the number of
          shares of Stock (not to exceed 30,000 shares) to be sold by
          the Agent during each
<PAGE>
 
          such Pricing Period (the "Average Market Price Shares"). If
          the Company does not meet the exemptive provisions set forth
          in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M of the Exchange Act, the
          number of Average Market Price Shares and any Additional
          Shares sold on any day in any Pricing Period shall not
          exceed 10% of the average daily trading volume of the Stock

          the shares of Stock only by means of ordinary brokers'

          shares of Stock of the Company except in connection with

          special selling efforts or selling methods relating to the
          Stock within the meaning of Rule 100 of Regulation M of the
          Exchange Act. The Agent shall calculate on a weekly basis

          party has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions
          set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M of the Exchange
          Act are not satisfied, it shall notify the other party and
          sales of Stock under this Agreement shall be suspended until
          such time as the parties mutually agree to recommence sales
          hereunder. In addition, the Company or the Agent may, upon
          notice to the other party hereto by telephone (confirmed
