A.     As a result of the transfer on August 31, 1998 of the beneficial
interest in 1,063,500 common shares (the "Shares") of Midland Holland Inc.
("Midland") from Cross Creek Finance Group Ltd. ("Cross Creek") to Pacific

be the direct beneficial owner of the Shares and Pacific Mercantile is the
direct beneficial owner of the Shares; and

B.     Each of Pacific Mercantile and Cross Creek (each a "Filer" and,
collectively, the "Filers") is responsible for filing an amendment No. 2 (the
"Amendment") to the Schedule 13D dated March 13, 1998 (the "Schedule 13D"), as
amended by amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D dated August 18, 1998, relating
to the Shares, pursuant to U.S. securities laws;

NOW THEREFORE THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1.     Each Filer covenants and agrees that it is individually eligible to use
       the Amendment;

2.     Each Filer covenants and agrees that it is individually responsible for
       the timely filing of the Amendment, and any further amendments to the
       Schedule 13D, and for the completeness and accuracy of the information
       contained therein concerning itself, but is not responsible for the
       completeness and accuracy of any of the information contained in the
       Amendment, and any further amendments to the Schedule 13D, concerning
       any other Filer, unless the Filer knows or has reason to believe that
       the information concerning such other Filer is inaccurate;

3.     Each Filer warrants and represents that the Amendment contains the
       required information with regard to itself and indicates that it is
       filed on behalf of all of the Filers; and
