Item 5.   Other Events.
          ------------ 

     On June 10, 1998, Bay View Capital Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, announced the execution of a stock purchase agreement (the
"Agreement") by and among the Company, Bay View Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, Pacific USA Holdings Corp, a Texas corporation ("PUSA"), Pacific
Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of
PUSA ("Pacific Financial"), PSB Consumer Finance Corp., a Nevada corporation and
a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Southwest Bank (a wholly owned subsidiary
of Pacific Financial) ("Consumer") and PSB Lending Corp., a Nevada corporation
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Consumer ("PSB Lending").

     Under the terms of the Agreement, Bay View Bank is to acquire all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of PSB Lending (the "PSB Shares").  Prior to
the closing of the acquisition transaction, Consumer may dividend the PSB Shares
to Pacific Financial so that Pacific Financial would be the seller of the PSB
Shares (the holder of the PSB Shares as of the closing date is herein referred
to as the "Seller").   On the closing date, Bay View Bank will pay to the Seller
$50 million in cash and 3,147,128 shares of Company common stock and the
associated rights under the Company's Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement.
In addition, the Seller may be entitled to receive additional consideration
under an earn-out arrangement of up to an indicated value of $150 million in
cash and/or stock (the "Earn Out").

     The issuance of Company common stock is subject to regulatory approval of
the Seller's acquisition of such shares.  In the event regulatory approval is
not obtained with respect to all or a portion of such shares, Bay View Bank will
either, at the discretion of the Seller (and subject to regulatory approval),
pay in lieu thereof (i) cash; (ii) Company common stock that has restricted
voting rights pursuant to a voting agreement; or (iii) non-voting Company common
stock (subject to approval of such a non-voting class by the Company's
stockholders).

     The maximum Earn Out amount of $150 million is to be paid annually, if and
as earned, through December 31, 2005.  Seller will be entitled to receive as an
Earn Out amount half of the amount by which the Company investment return
exceeds 15% up to an investment return of 21%, and all of the amount by which
the Company's investment return exceeds 21% (subject in both cases to the
maximum Earn Out amount).

     PSB Lending will be held as a separate subsidiary of Bay View Bank.  For
Earn Out purposes, (i) PSB Lending income will not include goodwill charges
arising from the acquisition, (ii) expenses that would be charged to a period
prior to the closing date under GAAP will be charged to a calculation year that
has not been completed, (iii) PSB Lending borrowings from Bay View Bank will be
subject to an assumed interest rate of the one-year advance rate of the FHLB of
San Francisco, reset quarterly, (iv) loans sold by PSB Lending to Bay View Bank
prior to the closing date will be treated as assets of PSB Lending and (v) any
new line of business of PSB Lending will not be taken into account.

     Earn Out amounts will be in cash or, at Seller's election (and subject to
regulatory approvals), in Company common stock.  If regulatory approval is not
obtained with respect to the payment of Company common stock, the Seller may
receive in lieu thereof Company common stock that has restricted voting rights
pursuant to a voting agreement or Company non-voting common stock.

     If a "change in control" of the Company occurs, and the successor fails to
execute a written confirmation or guaranty of its obligations under the
Agreement, the Seller will be entitled to the difference between the maximum
Earn Out amount ($150 million) and the amount of the Earn Out amounts previously
paid.  The change in control payment shall be paid in cash or a form of Company
common stock as discussed above (or in the form of the consideration paid to the
Company's stockholders in the change of control).

     A "change in control" will be deemed to occur upon any one of the following
events: (i) the acquisition by any person or persons acting in concert of more
than 24.9% of the then outstanding shares of Company common stock; (ii) the
consummation of a merger or similar transaction which results in the
stockholders of the Company immediately prior to consummation of the transaction
owning less than 50% of the resulting entity following the consummation of such
transaction; (iii) as a result of a proxy solicitation by a person or persons
other than the Company's Board of Directors, a majority of the members of such
Board are not Continuing Directors; or (iv) the sale of Bay View Bank, in each
case during the Earn Out Period.  The term "Continuing Director" is defined as a
person who was a director of the Company as of the date of the Agreement or
becomes a director and whose initial election or initial nomination for election
was approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors then on the Company's
Board of Directors.

     If prior to the end of the Earn Out Period, more than 5% of PSB is sold in
a public or private transaction (or is spun off to the Company's stockholders),
the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Seller the difference between the
maximum Earn Out amount ($150 million) and the amount of the Earn Out amounts
previously paid upon such sale of PSB.  If the PSB sale occurs within two
calendar years of the closing date, the Company shall also be obligated to pay
to Seller, (i) in the event the sale of PSB is a private transaction with a
third party, a cash payment equal to 20% of the difference between the gross
sale price of PSB to the third party and $300 million or (ii) in the event PSB
is sold in a public offering or a spinoff of PSB, a cash payment equal to 20% of
the difference between the implied market capitalization of PSB and $300 million
within 25 days of the consummation of such public offering or spinoff of PSB.
The "implied market capitalization" is determined by multiplying the average
closing price per share of PSB Lending common stock for the 20 trading day
period commencing on the initial public offering date or spinoff payment date,
by the number of shares issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis upon
consummation of the public offering or spin off.

     The closing of the stock purchase transaction is to occur between 
October 1, 1998 and December 31, 1998. The closing is subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including but not limited to: (i)
adoption of the Agreement by the Company's stockholder's; (ii) approval of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement by regulatory authorities; (iii)
certification by the parties as to the accuracy of the representations and
warranties contained in the Agreement, the performance of all obligations
required under the Agreement and the absence of any material adverse change in
the condition of the parties; (iv) the receipt of opinions of counsel; (v) PSB
Lending having a minimum tangible net worth of $25,000,000; and (vi) PSB Lending
having either (A) during the period from the date of the Agreement through the
closing date sold at least $600 million in principal amount of Eligible Loan
Production (as defined in the Agreement), or (B) during the two full calendar
months ending prior to the closing date sold at least $160 million in principal
amount of Eligible Loan Production to Bay View Bank.

     Pursuant to the Agreement and subject to agreement by the parties on final
documentation, (i) the Company agreed to purchase from PSB Lending for $43
million in cash a senior interest in certain residual interests in a securitized
pool of high cumulative-loan-to-value home equity loans (the "Residual
Interests"), (ii) PUSA agreed to purchase from PSB Lending for $50 million a
subordinate interest in the Residual Interests, and (iii) the Company agreed to
loan PUSA $50 million.  If the Company and PUSA do not agree on final
documentation with respect to these transactions by June 30, 1998 (subject to
the right of the Company to extend such deadline to July 7, 1998 if it escrows
the $93 million in cash it is to deliver in connection with such transactions),
either the Company or PUSA may terminate the Agreement.

     The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the copy of the Agreement filed as Exhibit 2 to this Report and
incorporated by reference herein.

     A copy of the Company's press release announcing the execution of the
Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated by reference
herein.  Certain additional information is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report
and incorporated by reference herein.

     the Deemed Earn Out Amount in the form of the Exchange Consideration Seller
     would have been entitled to receive had the Deemed Earn Out Amount (or part
     thereof) been paid in Bay View Common Stock, based on the average closing
     price for Bay View Common Stock for the 20 trading-day period ending four
     days prior to the Exchange Transaction Announcement Date (as defined
     herein) and the Bay View Common Stock so received had been converted into
     the Exchange Consideration in the Exchange Transaction. The "Exchange
     Transaction Announcement Date" means the first date upon which the Exchange
     Transaction is publicly announced by any of the parties to such Exchange
     Transaction. If Bay View and Bay View Bank or their successors in interest
     execute a Written Confirmation or a resulting entity executes a Guaranty
     Agreement, in either case within ten business days after receipt of a
     written request from Seller to do so, for each Calculation Year thereafter,
     the Annual Earn Out Amount shall be equal to the amount by which the
     Capitalized Value on each subsequent Calculation Date is greater than the
     Baseline Capitalized Value on such date.

          (g)  New Line of Business. Any new line of business of PSB commenced
               --------------------                                           
     after the Closing Date shall not be taken into account for Earn Out
     purposes unless the line of business has been approved by at least two-
     thirds of the members of the PSB Board of Directors.

          (h)  GAAP Expenses.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, including 
               -------------                  
     the representations and warranties, shall limit the inclusion of a PSB
     expense for purposes in calculating Pre-Tax PSB Income, so long as such
     inclusion is consistent with GAAP under the standard set forth in Section
     1.4(c)(i)(A), and, in respect of PSB's cash compensation expense for PSB's
     Chief Executive Officer, consistent with Section 1.4(c)(iii)(B) and (C).

          (i)  Earn Out Example.  An example of the Earn Out Amount calculations
               ----------------                                                 
     is set forth on Schedule 1.4(c)(iii).

     1.5  PSB Sale.  If at any time prior to the end of the Earn Out Period more
          --------                                                              
than 5% of PSB is directly sold in a private or public transaction (or is spun-
off to the Bay View shareholders (collectively, the "PSB Sale"), Bay View shall
pay to Seller the Deemed Earn Out Amount upon the closing of the PSB Sale.  In
the event the PSB Sale occurs within two calendar years of the Closing Date, Bay
View shall also pay to Seller (a) in the event the PSB Sale is a private
transaction with a third party, a cash payment equal to 20% of the difference
between the gross selling price of PSB to the third party and $300 million
within five days of the closing of such PSB Sale, or (b) in the event the PSB
Sale is a public offering or spin-off of PSB, a cash payment equal to 20% of the
difference between the implied market capitalization of PSB (the "Implied Market
Capitalization") and $300 million (the "Appreciation Amount") within 25 days of
the consummation of such public offering or spin-off of PSB.  The Implied Market
Capitalization shall be determined by multiplying the average closing price per
share of PSB Common Stock for the 20 trading-day period commencing on the
initial public offering date or spin-off payment date, respectively, times the

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
number of shares issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis upon
consummation of the public offering.

     1.6  Anti-Dilution Provisions.  In the event Bay View changes (or
          ------------------------                                    
establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares of Bay View Common
Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Closing Date as a result of a stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to
the outstanding Bay View Common Stock and the record date therefor shall be
prior to the Closing Date, or exchanges Bay View Common Stock for a different
number or kind of shares or securities or is involved in any transaction
resulting in any of the foregoing, the number of Bay View Closing Shares shall
be proportionately adjusted.

     1.7  Registration of Bay View Common Stock.
          ------------------------------------- 

          (a)  Registration Provisions in General.
               ---------------------------------- 

               (i)  Required Actions of Bay View.  During the Earn-Out Period,
                    ----------------------------                       
Seller shall have the right on three occasions to request Bay View in writing to
register under the Securities Act a minimum of 750,000 Shares (but in no event
any shares of Non-Voting Bay View Common Stock) issued to Seller prior thereto
for resale on a delayed or continuous basis (the term "Shares", for purposes of
this Section 1.7, shall include any Bay View Common Stock issued in connection
with any dividends or stock splits of the Shares). As soon as reasonably
practicable following Bay View's receipt of a written Seller request and the
information referred to in Section 1.7(c), Bay View shall use its best efforts
to prepare and cause to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") a registration statement (each such registration statement, a
"Registration Statement") on Form S-3 (or any successor form or, if Form S-3 or
a successor form is not available, on any other appropriate form as may then be
available to Bay View under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act")) relating to the resale of all or a portion of the Registrable
Shares (as defined herein), but in any event all of such Shares covered by the
Seller request, (y) Bay View shall use its best efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably
practicable after the filing of such Registration Statement, and (z) Bay View
shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses
contained therein) for the duration of the applicable Registration Period (as
defined herein). Bay View shall not be prohibited from adding shares of Bay View
Common Stock of Bay View or other Bay View shareholders to such Registration
Statement so long as the addition of such shares does not significantly delay
the preparation, filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Bay View
will pay all registration, qualification and filing fees, all fees and expenses
of Bay View legal counsel, Bay View accountants and other persons retained by
Bay View, and all other expenses incurred by Bay View in connection with Bay
View's performance of or compliance with the provisions of this Section 1.7
(excluding, underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes
applicable to the sale of Registrable Shares and excluding the cost of any
separate legal counsel or other advisors retained by Seller or any Seller
affiliate).

               (ii)  Piggyback Rights.  If shares of Bay View Common Stock are
                     ----------------                                         
proposed to be registered under the Securities Act during the Registration
Period (except with respect to 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
registration statements on Forms S-4 or S-8 or another form not available for
registering the Registrable Shares for sale to the public or in connection with
mergers, acquisitions, exchange efforts, an offering of rights, warrants or
securities convertible into Equity Securities (as defined in Section 2.3),
dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other employee benefit plans of
Bay View), Bay View will give written notice to Seller of such proposed
registration. Upon the written request of Seller given within ten business days
after receipt of any such notice (stating the number of Registrable Shares to be
registered), Bay View will use its best efforts to cause promptly all such
Registrable Shares for which Seller shall have so requested registration, to be
included in such proposed registration. If Bay View gives such above notice for
the purpose of permitting a disposition (either underwritten or otherwise) by
Bay View of Bay View Common Stock, Bay View shall have the right to exclude all
or a portion of shares of Bay View Common Stock to be sold on behalf of Seller
if Bay View's underwriters or financial advisors determine such exclusion is
necessary or advisable to insure a successful offering of Bay View Common Stock.
If Bay View limits the number of (but does not exclude) shares sold by any
selling shareholder, the number of shares to be registered on behalf of any
holder of Registrable Shares shall be determined by multiplying the number of
Registrable Shares such holder has requested be registered by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of selling shareholders to which the
registration is limited, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of
Bay View Common Stock validly requested to be included in such registration by
all holders of Bay View Common Stock having registration rights.

               (iii)  Defined Terms.  The term "Registrable Shares" shall mean
                      -------------

            --------                                                          
Shares which (i) have been sold or otherwise transferred by Seller other than to
an affiliate of Seller or (ii) have been issued and shall have ceased to be
outstanding.  The term "Registration Period" with respect to a Registration
Statement shall mean a period which shall run from the date on which such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and shall expire
on the earlier of (x) the first date on which all holders of Shares are
permitted to resell all the Registrable Shares it holds covered by such
Registration Statement within any 90-day period, pursuant to the provisions of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (y) the date upon which there
shall cease to be any Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement.

conditions of this Section 1.7, Bay View shall, in effecting any registration of

initial filing of a Registration Statement with the SEC, furnish to one law firm
selected by Seller copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (other than

as shall be reasonably requested by Seller and do any and all other acts and
things which may be reasonably necessary and advisable to enable Seller to
consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares owned
by Seller; provided that Bay View shall not be required in connection therewith
           --------                
or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this

after such time as Bay View discovers any facts or circumstances which cause the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement to contain an untrue statement
of a material fact or to omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
circumstances then existing; after the date of such notification to Seller, Bay
View will use its best efforts (subject to the provisions of Section 1.7(c)(iii)
below) to prepare and furnish to Seller, within ten business days, a supplement
or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in light of circumstances then existing;

               (vii)  Inspection of Documents.  Subject to such confidentiality
                      -----------------------                                  
requirements as Bay View may reasonably impose, make available for inspection by
Seller and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by Seller

                     -----------

          (c)  Certain Additional Covenants of Bay View, PUSA and Seller.
               --------------------------------------------------------- 

               (i)  Furnishing Information of Bay View.  PUSA and Seller shall
                    ----------------------------------                        
furnish to Bay View such information regarding Seller, the distribution by
Seller of the Registrable Shares and such other matters as Bay View may from
time to time reasonably request.  PUSA and Seller and their representatives
shall cooperate with Bay View and Bay View Bank and their representatives to the
extent reasonably required, and shall take such other actions as may be
reasonably necessary or appropriate or as may be reasonably requested by Bay
View, in connection with the performance by Bay View and Bay View Bank of their
obligations under this Agreement.  PUSA and/or Seller shall notify Bay View, as
soon as reasonably practicable after such time as PUSA or Seller has actual
knowledge of any facts or circumstances which cause the prospectus included in a
Registration Statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in light of circumstances then
existing; as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of such notification

agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from Bay View of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 1.7(b)(vi) above or upon the delivery of
a similar notice to Bay View by PUSA or Seller pursuant to Section 1.7(c)(i)
above, Seller will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares
pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Shares until
receipt by Seller of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by such Sections 1.7(b)(vi) and 1.7(c)(i) above, and, if so
directed by Bay View, Seller will deliver to Bay View all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in Seller's possession, of the prospectus covering
such Registrable Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice.

               (iii)  Discontinuing Sales Due to Disadvantageous Condition.  
                      ----------------------------------------------------  
With respect to any Registration Statement filed or to be filed pursuant to this
Agreement, if Bay View determines that, in its good faith judgment, it would
(because of the existence of, or in anticipation of, (A) any acquisition or
disposition transaction which is proposed or entered into involving Bay View or
any subsidiary of Bay View, (B) any financing activity involving Bay View or any
Subsidiary of Bay View, (C) the unavailability for reasons substantially beyond
Bay View's control of any required financial statements, (D) the filing by Bay
View of any registration statement with respect to any securities of Bay View,
or (E) any other event or condition of similar significance to Bay View or any
subsidiary of Bay View) be significantly disadvantageous (any of the events
described in clauses (A) through (E) above, hereinafter referred to as a
"Disadvantageous Condition") to Bay View or any of its Subsidiaries or
stockholders for such Registration Statement to become effective or to be

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
maintained effective or for sales of Registrable Shares to continue pursuant to
such Registration Statement, Bay View shall, notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, be entitled, upon the giving of a written notice
(a "Delay Notice") to such effect to PUSA or Seller, (x) to cause offers and
sales of Registrable Shares by Seller pursuant to such Registration Statement to
cease, or (y) in the event no such Registration Statement has yet been filed, to
delay filing any such Registration Statement, until, in the good faith judgment
of Bay View, such Disadvantageous Condition no longer exists, but in no event
shall any such Delay Notice be effective for a period of more than 75 days. Bay
View may not give more than two Delay Notices in any 12-month period.

          (d)  Indemnification.
               --------------- 

               (i)  Indemnification by Bay View.  In connection with the 
                    ---------------------------                      
registration of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, Bay View will, and it hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, Seller, any person who controls Seller
within the meaning of the Federal securities laws and each other person who acts
on behalf of or assists Seller in the offering or sale of such securities
(collectively, the "Seller Indemnitees"), against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liability, joint or several, and expenses (including any amounts paid
in any settlement effected with Bay View's prior consent (which may not be
unreasonably withheld) and reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) to which
such Seller Indemnitees may become subject under the Securities Act, common law
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
or proceedings in respect thereof) or expenses arise out of or are based upon
(A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary, final or summary
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
Bay View will promptly reimburse such Seller Indemnitees for any legal or any
other expense reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that Bay
                                                             --------         
View shall not be liable in any such case to any Seller Indemnitee or group of
Seller Indemnitees to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability
(or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expenses arose out of or was
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission which was made or done in such Registration Statement or
amendment or supplement thereto or in any such preliminary, final or summary
prospectus, in reliance upon and conformity with information furnished to Bay
View or its representatives in writing specifically for use therein by or on
behalf of any Seller Indemnitee or group of Seller Indemnitees or by any of
their respective representatives; provided further that Bay View will not be
                                  -------- -------                          
liable to any such Seller Indemnitees with respect to any preliminary prospectus
as then amended or supplemented, as the case may be, to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability of such Seller Indemnitees results from the
fact that such Seller Indemnitees sold Registrable Shares to a person to whom
there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such
sale, a copy of the final prospectus (including any documents incorporated by
reference therein), whichever is most recent, if Bay View has previously
furnished copies thereof to such Seller Indemnitees and such final prospectus,
as then amended and supplemented, has corrected any such misstatement or
omission.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of any Seller Indemnitee and shall
survive the transfer of the Registrable Shares by Seller.

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
               (ii)  Indemnification by PUSA and Seller.  In connection with the
                     ----------------------------------                         
registration of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, PUSA and Seller hereby agree that they will, jointly and severally,
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Bay View,
any person who controls Bay View within the meaning of the Federal Securities
laws, each affiliate of Bay View and each other person who acts on Bay View's
behalf or assists Bay View in the offering or sale of such securities
(collectively, the "Bay View Indemnitees"), against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including any amounts
paid in any settlement effected with PUSA's prior consent (which may not be
unreasonably withheld) and reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) to which
Bay View or any Bay View Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act,
common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or expenses arise out of or are
based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary, final or summary
prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make  the statements therein not misleading (but
only to the extent that such misstatements or omissions referred to in clauses
(A) and (B) above were done or omitted, etc. in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished to Bay View or its representatives writing
specifically for use therein by or on behalf of PUSA or Seller or by any of
their affiliates or representatives).  Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Bay View or
any Bay View Indemnitee and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Shares
by Seller.

               (iii)  Notices of Claims, Etc.  Promptly after receipt by an
                      ----------------------                               
indemnified party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action
or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made
pursuant to this Agreement, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, promptly give written
notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that the
                                                         --------         
failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not
relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding
subsections of this Agreement, except to the extent that the indemnifying party
is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any action is
brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other
indemnifying parties similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party.  After notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense of any such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to
such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
the latter in connection with the defense thereof (unless in such indemnified
party's reasonable judgment any meaningful conflict of interest between such
indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in respect of such claim after the
assumption of the defense thereof, in which event the indemnifying party shall
be liable for the reasonable legal fees and expenses of only one (1) legal firm
representing the indemnified parties plus one firm of local counsel) and the
indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  No
indemnifying party will consent to entry of judgment or enter into any
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all

                                       14

liability in respect to such claim or litigation.  An indemnifying party who
elects not to assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the
fees and expenses of more than one counsel plus one firm of local counsel for
all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim,
unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a meaningful conflict
of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such
indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying
party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of only one additional
counsel plus one firm of local counsel.

               (iv)  Other Indemnification.  Indemnification similar to that 
                     ---------------------             
specified in the preceding subsections of this Agreement (with appropriate
modifications) shall be given by Bay View and PUSA and Seller, jointly and
severally, with respect to any required registration or other qualification of
Registrable Shares under any federal or state law or regulation of governmental
authority other than the Securities Act.

               (v)  Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this
                    ------------                                              
Section 1.7(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified
party for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense covered thereby, then
the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.  The contribution of such
indemnifying party shall be limited to the proportionate share of the amount
paid or payable that reflects the relative fault of the indemnifying party with
respect to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.  The relative fault
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of material fact or any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact was made by or relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party and the intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission of the indemnifying
party.  The parties to this Agreement agree that it would not be just and
equitable to determine contribution under this Section by pro rata allocation or
by any other method which does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to above.

                                  ARTICLE II
                        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                 OF PSB, CONSUMER, PACIFIC FINANCIAL AND PUSA

     PSB, Consumer, Pacific Financial and PUSA jointly and severally represent
and warrant to and covenant with Bay View as follows:

     2.1  Organization and Authority.  PSB is a corporation duly organized,
          --------------------------                                       
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, and
has the corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and to
carry on its business as it is now being conducted.  Consumer is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Nevada, and has the corporate power and authority to own its properties
and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.  Pacific
Financial is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the corporate power and
authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is
now being conducted.  PUSA is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good 

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
standing under the laws of the State of Texas, and has the corporate power and
authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is
now being conducted. PSB is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the assets or properties
owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it requires
that it be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified would not
impair the ability of PSB to operate in the ordinary course of business. True
and complete copies of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of PSB, as in
effect on the date of this Agreement, have previously been furnished to Bay View
or its counsel.

     2.2  Subsidiaries.  The term "subsidiary" when used with respect to any
          ------------                                                      
party means any entity (including without limitation any corporation,
partnership, joint venture or other organization, whether incorporated or
unincorporated) which is consolidated with such party for financial reporting
purposes.  Other than the subsidiaries listed on Schedule 2.2 (the "PSB
Subsidiaries"), there are no entities in which PSB has a direct or indirect
equity or ownership interest.  All outstanding Equity Securities (as defined in
Section 2.3) of the PSB Subsidiaries are owned directly or indirectly by PSB.
All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the PSB Subsidiaries are
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are owned directly by PSB free
and clear of any lien, claim, charge, option, encumbrance, agreement, mortgage,
pledge, security interest, restriction or interest of a third party (each a
"Lien") with respect thereto. The PSB Subsidiaries are corporations, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of their state of incorporation,
and have the corporate power and authority to own or lease their properties and
assets and to carry on their businesses as they are now being conducted. The PSB
Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the
character of the assets or properties owned or leased by them or the nature of
the business transacted by them requires that they be so qualified, except where
the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the
business, assets, liabilities, financial or other condition, results of
operation, loan production (in the case of PSB and the PSB Subsidiaries only) or
prospects (collectively, the "Condition") of PSB and the PSB Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole. The complete and correct list of all jurisdictions where PSB and the
PSB Subsidiaries are qualified or licensed to do business is included on
Schedule 2.2.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2.2, apart from PSB's ownership
of the PSB Subsidiaries, neither PSB nor the PSB Subsidiaries owns beneficially,
directly or indirectly, any shares of any class of Equity Securities or similar
interests of any corporation, bank, business trust, association or similar
organization.  Neither PSB nor the PSB Subsidiaries holds any interest in a
partnership or joint venture of any kind.

     2.3  Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of PSB consists solely
          --------------                                                      
of 10,000,000 shares of PSB Common Stock, of which only the PSB Shares were
issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.  The PSB Shares are owned by
Consumer, and Consumer has good and marketable title to the PSB Shares, and if
the PSB Shares are not dividended from Consumer prior to the Closing Date, will
have good and marketable title to the PSB Shares as of the Closing Date.  Prior
to the Closing Date, all of the PSB Shares may be dividended, free and clear of
any Lien to Pacific Financial and Pacific Financial will have upon any such
transfer and at all times prior to the Closing Date, good and marketable title
to the PSB Shares.  Consumer has the absolute right, power and authority and
legal capacity to execute and perform this Agreement and, if it shall own PSB
Shares as of the Closing Date, to sell and transfer the PSB Shares to Bay View
Bank and to deliver certificates representing the PSB Shares.  Pacific Financial
has the absolute right, power and 

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
authority and legal capacity to execute and perform this Agreement and, if it
shall own PSB Shares as of the Closing Date, to sell and transfer the PSB Shares
to Bay View Bank and to deliver certificates representing the PSB Shares. Upon
such delivery Bay View Bank will have good and valid title thereto free and
clear of any and all Liens and will hold 100% of the ownership of PSB. Except as
set forth in Schedule 2.3, there are no other Equity Securities of PSB
outstanding. "Equity Securities" of an issuer means capital stock or other
equity securities of such issuer, options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe
to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities
or rights convertible into, shares of any capital stock or other equity
securities of such issuer, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which such issuer is or may become bound to issue additional
shares of its capital stock or other equity securities of such issuer, or
options, warrants, scrip or rights to purchase, acquire, subscribe to, calls on
or commitments for any shares of its capital stock or other equity securities.
The PSB Shares are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and have not
been issued in violation of any right of any person or entity.

     2.4  Authorization.

     obligation to which PSB or any PSB Subsidiary is a party or by which it may
     be bound, or to which PSB or any PSB Subsidiary or any of their properties
     or assets may be subject, or (iii) subject to compliance with the statutes
     and regulations referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.4 violate
     any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or
     regulation applicable to PSB, Consumer, Pacific Financial or PUSA or any

     Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), and a copy of such filings

     of Justice no notice to, filing with, exemption or review by, or
     authorization, consent or approval of, any public body or authority is
     necessary for the consummation by PSB, Consumer, Pacific Financial or PUSA
     of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

the PSB Subsidiaries and the related consolidated statements of income, cash
flows and changes in stockholders' equity for each of the two calendar years in
the two-year period ending December 31, 1997, together with the notes thereto,
audited by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP (the "PSB Audited Financial Statements"), and

on a consistent basis (subject in the case of the PSB Interim Financial

Shares will not have been registered under the Securities Act or the securities
laws of any state (collectively referred to as "State Securities Laws") by
reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part

Pacific Financial and Consumer agree not to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any Shares except (i) in compliance with the applicable provisions of
Rule 144 under the Securities Act; (ii) in a transaction otherwise exempt (in
the written opinion of counsel for Pacific Financial or Consumer satisfactory to
Bay View, which requirement may be waived by Bay View) from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable State Securities Laws; or
(iii) pursuant to a registration of the Shares under the Securities Act and all
applicable State Securities Laws.

     (b)  Pacific Financial and Consumer consent to the endorsement of the
Shares with a restrictive legend to read substantially as follows:

          The shares represented by this certificate were issued pursuant to an
     exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
     (the "Securities Act") and may be sold or otherwise transferred only in
     compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
     pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or
     pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act.

     (c)  Pacific Financial and Consumer agree that Bay View (and its transfer
agent) shall not be required to register any attempted transfer of the Shares
unless the transfer has been effected in compliance with the terms of this
Section 5.13.

      5.14     Publicity.  Except as required by law, Bay View and PUSA shall

on The Nasdaq Stock Market subject to official notice of issuance; and Bay View
shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the Bay View Earn Out Shares to be
approved prior to any such issuance for listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market
subject to official notice of issuance.

      5.17     Boards of Directors.  Bay View agrees to take all action
               -------------------                                     
necessary to appoint, effective as of the Closing, one nominee of Pacific
Financial or PUSA as a director of Bay View  (for the term expiring in 2001) and
Bay View Bank.  Bay View further agrees to take all action necessary to appoint
to the Bay View and Bay View Bank Boards an additional nominee of  Pacific

applicable, Bay View or Bay View Bank.  During the Earn Out Period, the members
of the Board of Directors of PSB shall be four individuals selected by Bay View
and three individuals selected by PUSA.  Each member of the Board of Directors

as a separate subsidiary and shall deal, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to
deal, with PSB on terms no less favorable than it makes available to unrelated
third parties; provided, however, that Bay View may cause PSB's operations to be
conducted in other entities so long as Bay View maintains Earn Out books and
records covering all of PSB's operations.  Bay View shall maintain Earn Out
books that shall be examined annually by Bay View's independent accountants, and
subject to review by PUSA's independent accountants.  Bay View shall during
regular business hours make the books and records of PSB and, upon reasonable
request, Bay View and its other subsidiaries, available to PUSA's independent

and purchase of the PSB Shares pursuant to this Agreement consistent with the
338(h)(10) Election and each Subsequent Filing and shall take no position
contrary thereto or inconsistent therewith in any tax return, any discussion
with or proceeding before any taxing authority or otherwise.  Seller will timely
report the gain arising from the Section 338(h)(10) Election and any Subsequent
Filing for tax purposes and pay any and all taxes arising or resulting
therefrom.  PUSA, Pacific, Pacific Financial and Consumer do hereby, jointly and
severally, indemnify and hold Bay View Bank harmless from and against any and
all losses, damages, cost and expenses arising from the failure of Seller to
comply with its obligations under this Section 5.25.

View and PUSA prior to consummation of the Bay View Purchase and Purchase Loan
(the "Servicing Assignment Agreement"), and (ii) upon such termination Bay View
shall have the right in its discretion, which shall not be unreasonably applied,
if it shall have evidence that PSB has not conducted its sub-servicing
operations with respect to Loans included in any securitization pools in
material conformity with industry standards, to substitute for PSB a qualified
party as the sub-servicer of such Loans.

      5.27     Inter-Company Obligations.  Upon the request of Bay View, PSB

          (a) by mutual written consent of the Boards of Directors of Bay View
     and PUSA;

          (b) by the Board of Directors of Bay View or PUSA at any time after
     December 31, 1998 if the sale and purchase of the PSB Shares shall not
     theretofore have been consummated (provided, however, that the right to
     terminate under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party
     whose failure to perform an obligation hereunder has been the cause of, or
     has resulted in, the failure of the sale and purchase of the PSB Shares to
     occur on or before such date or to any party who is then in material breach
     of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained
     herein, and for purposes hereof Bay View and Bay View Bank shall be
     collectively deemed to be a party and PUSA, Pacific Financial, Consumer and
     PSB shall be collectively deemed to be a party);

          (c) by the Board of Directors of Bay View or PUSA if the Bay View

     nonappealable;

          (d) by the Board of Directors of Bay View in the event of a material
     breach by PSB, Consumer, Pacific Financial or PUSA of any representation,
     warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement, which

     PSB, Consumer, Pacific Financial or PUSA by Bay View;

          (e) by the Board of Directors of PUSA in the event of a material
     breach by Bay View of any representation, warranty, covenant or other
     agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach is not cured within 30
     days after written notice thereof is given to Bay View by PUSA; or

     Bay View which notice is final and may not be withdrawn) at any time during
     the second trading day immediately prior to the anticipated Closing Date,
     if (x) the Average Closing Price (as defined herein) is less than $26.00

     5.21(a)(ii).

      7.2 Effect of Termination.
          --------------------- 

          (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in
     Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(b) and 7.1(c) this Agreement shall forthwith become
     void and there shall be no liability under this Agreement on the part of
     Bay View, Bay View Bank, PSB, Consumer, Pacific Financial or PUSA or their
     respective officers or directors except as set forth in the second sentence
     of Section 5.1, in the first sentence of Section 5.5, the second sentence
     of 5.23 and Section 5.27, and, with respect to a termination as provided in
     Section 7.1(c), the second sentence of Section 5.5.

          (b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by a party (the
     "Aggrieved Party") solely by reason of the willful material breach by
     another party ("Breaching Party") of any of its representations,
     warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein then the Aggrieved
     Party shall be entitled to such remedies and relief against the Breaching
     Party as are available at law or in equity.

      7.3 Specific Performance. As an alternative to terminating this Agreement,
          --------------------                                                  
an Aggrieved Party shall be entitled to specifically enforce the terms hereof
against a Breaching Party in order to cause the sale and purchase of the PSB
Shares to be consummated.  Each party acknowledges that there is not an adequate
remedy at law to compensate the other parties relating to the non-consummation
of the sale and purchase of the PSB Shares.  To this end, each party, to the
extent permitted by law, irrevocably waives any defense it might have based on
the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief.

      7.4 Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by
          ---------                                                          
action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors.  This
Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf
of each of Bay View, Bay View Bank, PSB, Consumer, Pacific Financial and PUSA.
The parties may, without approval of their respective Boards of Directors, make
such technical changes to this Agreement, not inconsistent with the purposes
hereof as may be required to effect or facilitate any regulatory approval or
acceptance of this Agreement or to effect or facilitate any regulatory or
governmental filing or recording required for the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated hereby.

      7.5 Severability.  Any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained
          ------------                                                         
in this Agreement held by a court or a governmental authority of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, shall be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability, but neither the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants or restrictions contained in this
Agreement nor the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdictions
shall be affected or impaired thereby.  Any term, provision, covenant or
restriction contained in this Agreement that is so found to be so broad as to be
unenforceable shall be interpreted to be as broad as is enforceable.

      7.6 Waiver.  Any term, condition or provision of this Agreement may be
          ------                                                            
waived in writing at any time by the Board of Directors of the party which is
entitled to the benefits thereof. Each and every right granted to any party
hereunder, or under any other document delivered in connection herewith or
therewith, and each and every right allowed it by law or equity, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised from time to time.  The failure of a party at
any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no
manner affect such party's right at a later time to enforce the same.  No waiver
by any party of a condition or of the breach of any term, covenant,
representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or
otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a
further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any
other condition or of the breach of any other term, covenant, representation or
warranty of this Agreement.  No investigation, review or audit by a party of
another party prior to or after the date hereof shall stop or prevent such party
from exercising any right hereunder or be deemed to be a waiver of any such
right.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                    POST-EFFECTIVE SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

      8.1 General Survival.  If the sale and purchase of the PSB Shares is
          ----------------                                                
consummated, the parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 9.1 and regardless of any investigation made by  Bay View or Bay View
Bank, PUSA and Seller shall remain responsible (without any right of
contribution from PSB or the PSB Subsidiary) for the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of PUSA, Pacific Financial, Consumer and
PSB contained in this Agreement, which  shall survive the Closing through March
31, 2000 (with claims then pending continuing to survive thereafter) (the "Post-
Closing Survival Period") provided that the representations and warranties set
forth in Sections 2.3, 2.9 and 2.18 shall survive until the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations, the covenants in Section 5.25 shall survive
for a period of three years after the Earn Out Period, Section 8.2 and 9.2 shall
survive relating to the enforcement of rights and remedies and Section 1.7 shall
survive for the Earn Out Period.  Nothing contained in this Article VIII shall
alter or diminish the rights of any party under Section 7.2 hereof, it being the
intent of the parties that the provisions of Article VIII shall only apply if
the sale and purchase of the PSB Shares is consummated.

      8.2 Indemnification.
          --------------- 

          (a)  Indemnification Claims.  Any and all Post-Closing Losses (as
               ----------------------                                      
defined herein) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or imposed upon or
incurred by Bay View, Bay View Bank, PSB, the PSB Subsidiaries, or any other Bay
View Subsidiary by reason of, any inaccuracy and/or breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of PSB, Consumer, Pacific
Financial or PUSA contained in this Agreement or in any Schedule delivered by
PSB, Consumer, Pacific Financial or PUSA pursuant to this Agreement or arising
out of items listed on Schedules 2.18(c) and (d) shall constitute
indemnification claims (each an "Indemnification Claim"). For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Post-Closing Losses" means all losses, damages and
liabilities (in each case whether direct or indirect), charges, liens,
                                         --                           
deficiencies, expenses, costs, assessments, judgments, settlements, demands,
claims, interest, fines, and penalties, in each case of any nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, reasonable legal, accounting and other costs 

                                       51
<PAGE>
 
and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling or
satisfying any and all demands, claims, actions, causes of action, suits,
proceedings, assessments, judgments or appeals) incurred or suffered by Bay View
or any Bay View Subsidiary (including PSB and the PSB Subsidiaries) provided,
however, that the term Post-Closing Losses shall not include any monetary costs
or expenses incurred (i) to the extent covered by insurance or (ii) relating to
any individual claim or set of directly related claims that do not exceed
$10,000.

          (b)  Disregarding Specific Materiality Exceptions.  For purposes of
               --------------------------------------------                  
determining Post-Closing Losses, any inaccuracy in or breach of a representation
or warranty by PSB, Consumer, Pacific Financial or PUSA shall be deemed to
constitute a breach of a representation or warranty notwithstanding any
limitation or qualification as to materiality set forth in such representation
or warranty on the scope, accuracy or completeness thereof, it being the
intention of the parties that any and all Post-Closing Losses shall be
determined based on the failure of any such representation or warranty of PSB,
Consumer, Pacific Financial or PUSA to be true, correct and complete in any
respect.

          (c) Method for Satisfying Indemnification Claims.  PUSA and Seller
              --------------------------------------------                  
shall be jointly and severally liable to Bay View Bank for the amount of each
Indemnification Claim but subject to the limitations set forth in Section
8.2(d), and without limiting the rights of Bay View Bank, Post-Closing Losses
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2(d) may be satisfied, at the
election of Bay View Bank after notice to PUSA and Seller of such election and
the failure by PUSA and Seller to pay such amount in cash within 30 days of such
notice, by offset against and reduction of Earn Out Amounts.

          (d) Limitations.  The maximum liability for which PUSA and Seller
              -----------                                                  
shall be liable for indemnification under this Article VIII shall be
$25,000,000.  Further, PUSA and Seller shall have no liability for
indemnification under this Article VIII until the total of all Post-Closing
Losses with respect to Indemnification Claims exceeds $5,000,000, and shall be
liable only for the amount by which such Post-Closing Losses exceeds $5,000,000.
There shall be no basket or maximum relating to Indemnification Claims based
upon fraud committed by PUSA, Pacific Financial, Consumer or PSB against Bay
View or Bay View Bank in connection with this Agreement or relating to the title
to PSB Shares or relating to the failure of Seller to perform its obligations
under Section 5.25.  Nothing herein shall constitute a limitation or restriction
in allocating expenses against PSB in the calculation of Pre-Tax PSB Income
under Section 1.4(c).

          (e) Notice and Resolution of Indemnification Claims.
              ----------------------------------------------- 

              (1) Bay View Bank will give written notice (the "Claim Notice") to
          PUSA promptly after obtaining knowledge of any Indemnification Claim.
          Such notice will set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the
          claim, including an amount, if practicable, or estimate, if
          practicable, of the Post-Closing Losses related to such claim and the
          basis of Bay View Bank's request for indemnification under this
          Agreement.

                                       52
<PAGE>
 
              (2) If such Indemnification Claim arises from a claim or action
          involving a third party (a "Third Party Claim"), PUSA and Seller shall
          have the right, upon written notice (a "Defense Notice") to Bay View
          Bank within 15 days of its receipt from Bay View Bank of the Claim
          Notice, to conduct at their expense the defense against such Third
          Party Claim. When PUSA and Seller conduct the defense, Bay View Bank
          shall have the right to approve the defense counsel, which approval
          shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that PUSA
          and Seller fail to give a Defense Notice within the 15-day period
          prescribed above or PUSA and Seller withdraw from the defense of a
          Third Party Claim, Bay View Bank shall have the right to conduct such
          defense in good faith with counsel reasonably acceptable to PUSA and
          Seller, but Bay View Bank shall be prohibited from compromising or
          settling the claim without the prior written consent of PUSA or
          Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
          In the event that PUSA and Seller do deliver a Defense Notice and
          thereby elect to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, Bay
          View Bank will at its own expense, cooperate with and make available
          to PUSA and Seller such assistance, personnel, witnesses and materials
          as PUSA and Seller may reasonably request. Regardless of which party
          defends such Third Party Claim, the other party shall have the right
          at its expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of
          its own choosing.

          (f) Settlements.  If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party 
              ----------- 
Claim, and PUSA and Seller desire to accept and agree to such offer, PUSA and
Seller shall give written notice to Bay View Bank to that effect. If Bay View
Bank objects to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such
notice, Bay View Bank may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim
and, in such event, the maximum liability of PUSA and Seller as to such Third
Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer, plus other
Post-Closing Losses with respect to such Claim paid or incurred by Bay View Bank
or any of its Subsidiaries up to the point such notice had been delivered.

          (g) Mitigation.  Bay View Bank shall use commercially reasonable 
              ---------- 
efforts to mitigate Post-Closing Losses and shall reasonably consult and
cooperate with PUSA and Seller with a view towards mitigating Post-Closing
Losses, in connection with Indemnification Claims for which Bay View Bank seeks
indemnification under this Article VIII.

          (h) Subrogation.  After any indemnification payment is made to Bay 
              -----------
View Bank pursuant to this Article VIII, PUSA and Seller shall, to the extent of
such payment, be subrogated to all rights (if any) of Bay View Bank against any
third party in connection with the Post-Closing Losses to which such payment
relates. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Bay View
Bank shall execute, upon the written request of PUSA and Seller, any instrument
reasonably necessary to evidence such subrogation rights.

          (i) Exclusivity of Remedies.  Notwithstanding anything to the 
              -----------------------
contrary in this Agreement, Bay View Bank acknowledges that the indemnification
provisions set forth in this Article VIII constitute the sole and exclusive
recourse and remedy of Bay View Bank 

                                       53
<PAGE>
 
     (or any successor entity) against PUSA or Seller with respect to the breach
     of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of PUSA, Pacific
     Financial, Consumer or PSB contained in this Agreement or in any closing
     certificate executed and delivered by any of PUSA, Pacific Financial,
     Consumer or PSB in connection herewith or otherwise in connection with the
     transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that any such breach
     is the result of fraud by any of PUSA, Pacific Financial, Consumer or PSB.
     Nothing herein is intended to impact or adjust the calculation of Pre-Tax
     PSB Income under Section 1.4(c)(i)(A), it being understood that any expense
     charged against income in such calculation is not a remedy.


                                    ARTICLE IX
                                GENERAL PROVISIONS

     9.1  Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  No
          ----------------------------------------------------------     
investigation by the parties hereto made heretofore or hereafter shall affect
the representations and warranties of the parties which are contained herein and
each such representation and warranty shall survive such investigation.  Except
as set forth above in Section 8.1, and this Section 9.1, all representations,
warranties and agreements in this Agreement of the parties or in any instrument
delivered by a party pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall not
survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its
terms.  In the event of consummation of the sale and purchase of the PSB Shares,
the agreements of Bay View and Bay View Bank contained in or referred to in
Sections 1.4, 1.5, 1.7, 5.7, 5.17, 5.18, 5.19, 5.23 and 5.24, and the covenants
and agreements of PUSA and Seller as provided in Sections 5.25 and 8.1, shall
survive the Closing.  In the event of termination of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms, the Agreements specified in Section 7.2 shall
survive.

     9.2  Arbitration. The parties hereby agree that any controversy or dispute
          -----------                                                          
arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved pursuant to this
Section 9.2.

          (a) Agreement to Negotiate.  Prior to submitting any controversy, 
              ----------------------
     dispute or claim arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement to
     arbitration, Bay View and PUSA (each of which shall be deemed a "party")
     hereto agree to observe the following procedures:

              (1)(i) The party desiring to submit any such controversy, dispute
          or claim to arbitration (the "claimant") first shall give written
          notice thereof to the other party (the "recipient") setting forth in
          detail the pertinent facts and circumstances relating to such
          controversy, dispute or claim;

              (2)(ii) The recipient shall have a period of 15 days in which to
          consider the controversy, dispute or claim which is the subject to the
          notice and to furnish in writing to the claimant a written statement
          of the recipient's position;

              (3)(iii) Within seven days of claimant's receipt of recipient's
          written statement, the parties shall meet in an effort to resolve
          amicably any differences 

                                       54
<PAGE>
 
          which may exist and, failing such resolution, either or both of the
          parties shall have the right to submit the matter to arbitration.

     (b) Bay View and PUSA each agree that any controversy, dispute or claim
arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, or breach of this Agreement,
including disputes concerning termination of this Agreement, shall be settled by
arbitration in Chicago, Illinois. This agreement to arbitrate shall be
specifically enforceable.  Judgment upon any award rendered by an arbitrator may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

     (c) Any demand for arbitration must be served on the other party within six
months of the date when the party has actual knowledge of the act or omission
giving rise to the controversy, dispute or claim.  In no event may the demand
for arbitration be made after the date when the institution of a legal or
equitable proceeding based on such controversy dispute or claim would be barred
by the applicable statute of limitations or the provisions of Sections 8.1 or
9.1.

     (d) The arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three independent
and impartial arbitrators.  Each of Bay View and PUSA  will be entitled to
select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected will select the third
arbitrator.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the arbitration
and any discovery conducted in connection therewith will be conducted in
accordance with the Commercial Rules of arbitration and procedures established
by the American Arbitration Association in effect at the time of the
arbitration, including without limitation the expedited procedures set forth
therein.

     (e) The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final and binding on all
parties, and any right to judicial action on any matter subject to arbitration
hereunder is hereby waived (unless otherwise provided by applicable law), except
suit to enforce the arbitration award.

     (f) Bay View and PUSA each agree that such arbitration shall be the
exclusive forum for any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or breach or termination of this Agreement; and further agree
that in arbitration their remedy at law shall not include punitive damages.

     (g) Each of Bay View and PUSA shall pay its own attorney or other
representative, and the expenses of its witnesses and all other expenses
connected with its case.  Other costs of the arbitration, including the cost of
any record or transcript of the arbitration, administrative fees, arbitrator's
fees, and all other fees and costs, shall be borne by the parties to the
arbitration equally.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitration panel may
in its discretion order the losing party to pay to the prevailing party all
costs and fees, including the prevailing party's legal fees.

     9.3  Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
          -------

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


June 10, 1998


                BVCC ANNOUNCES DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE
                               PSB LENDING CORP.

SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA - Bay View Capital Corporation ("the Company") today
announced that it has executed a definitive agreement to acquire PSB Lending
Corp. ("PSBL"), an indirect originator of high loan-to-value ("HLTV") home
equity loans.  Based in Carlsbad, California, PSBL is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Pacific Southwest Bank ("PSB") based in Dallas, Texas.  Following the
acquisition, PSBL will operate under the name Bay View Consumer Finance
Corporation ("BVCFC") and will become a subsidiary of Bay View Bank ("BVB"), the
Company's banking / depository subsidiary.

  Edward H. Sondker, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
commented, "This acquisition is consistent with the Company's mission of
creating a diversified financial services company by investing in niche
businesses with risk-adjusted yields that enhance shareholder value.  HLTV home
equity loans are a natural extension of our Consumer Finance Platform with many
characteristics similar to those products currently offered by Bay View Credit
("BVC"), one of our auto finance subsidiaries, including advances above the
collateral value.  Most importantly, we believe that our ability to portfolio
the majority of the assets originated, and thereby avoid the financial
uncertainties associated with securitization and gain-on-sale accounting,
provides us with a distinct competitive advantage compared to most other
originators in this market."

TRANSACTION STRUCTURE

  In accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement, BVB will acquire all
of the common stock of PSBL for approximately $153 million at the closing of the
transaction.  This consideration will be comprised of approximately $53 million
in cash and $100 million in shares of the Company's common stock, subject to
approval by PSB's regulators of the issuance of such shares to PSBL's owner.  In
addition, PSBL's owner may be entitled to receive additional consideration under
an earn-out arrangement of up to approximately $147 million.  The transaction is
expected to close during the fourth quarter of 1998, subject to approval by the
Company's shareholders and regulators.

  Under the earn-out provisions of the definitive agreement, PSBL's owner may
receive additional consideration in each year of the seven-year earn-out period
to the extent the Company's return on its investment ("ROI") in PSBL exceeds
defined target levels.  The Company must earn a 15% ROI before any earn-out is
triggered.  The earn-out is based on an annual calculation and is payable
annually in cash or Company common stock, at the election of PSBL's owner.

  In accordance with the definitive agreement, BVB will purchase PSBL HLTV home
equity originations on a flow basis through the closing date of the transaction.
This arrangement is expected to mitigate BVB's exposure to loan prepayments
during the second half of 1998.

  David A. Heaberlin, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer commented, "This acquisition enables us to enter the HLTV home equity
lending market at a time when there is significant market demand and growth
potential.  We have been purchasing this product since the third quarter of 1997
and have purchased approximately $300 million to date, $200 million of which was
from PSBL.  This experience, combined with BVC's 30 years of historical
experience with similar type products, has provided us with invaluable insight
and a unique opportunity to carefully evaluate the risks and opportunities
associated with this product.  The acquisition also accelerates our ability to
change-out BVB's assets and allows us to pursue future depository franchise
acquisitions."

PROFILE OF PSBL

  PSBL commenced business in July 1996 as a subsidiary of PSB and has quickly
become a major competitor in the origination, servicing and securitization of
HLTV home equity loans.  With an expanding nationwide network of over 225
carefully selected correspondents, PSBL originated over $750 million in loans
during 1997.  During 1997, PSBL ranked third in the HLTV home equity loan market
with an 8% market share based on securitization statistics.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
  At December 31, 1997, PSBL's servicing portfolio consisted of approximately
23,000 loans totaling $716 million.  Approximately $673 million of the servicing
portfolio, or 94%, represented retained servicing on loans sold through asset-
backed securitizations. The ability to securitize the majority of its
originations validates the consistency of PSBL's underwriting process and the
inherent credit quality of the loans originated.  PSBL has significant excess
servicing capacity to support continued originations.

  PSBL senior management has extensive experience in consumer and mortgage
lending led by Robert Emerling, President, who has over 25 years experience with
an emphasis in consumer and mortgage lending.  Donald Curtis, National Sales
Manager, has over 7 years experience in consumer lending.  Gary McClary, Credit
Manager, has over 15 years of direct consumer lending experience.   Edward
Regan, Loan Servicing, has over 30 years of banking and loan servicing
experience.  Janet Twombly, Operations, has over 13 years of financial
institution experience.

  Robert Emerling, PSBL President, commented, "We are excited about the
opportunity to join Bay View.  We believe that we are well positioned to expand
our origination capabilities.  Bay View Bank's low-cost deposit base and ability
to portfolio the majority of our originations provides us with a real
competitive advantage in the marketplace."

PROFILE OF THE HLTV INDUSTRY

  The HLTV home equity lending market is one of the fastest growing segments of
the lending arena.  Approximately $10 billion in HLTV home equity loans were
originated in 1997 as compared with $4 billion in 1996 and $1 billion in 1995.
Industry analysts estimate the segment will grow 30% annually to $200 billion in
outstandings.

  The primary driver behind this growth is debt consolidation and a
corresponding lower monthly payment for the consumer.  For example, a typical
consumer with $20,000 in credit card debt may be making minimum payments of $400
to $600 per month.  By consolidating this credit card debt with a HLTV home
equity loan at 14% interest and a 15-year amortization period, this monthly
payment is reduced to approximately $266 per month, a portion of which may be
tax deductible.  This represents a significant benefit to the consumer in terms
of enhanced cash flow.

Risk Considerations

  Although HLTV home equity lending involves a higher level of credit risk than
other forms of mortgage lending, the higher yields on the product provide a net
risk-adjusted yield higher than more traditional mortgage lending products.  As
the segment grows and competition increases, however, the yields associated with
this product could decrease and erode the risk-adjusted yields.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
  PSBL mitigates this credit risk through its underwriting process.  PSBL re-
underwrites each loan to ensure it adheres to its underwriting criteria before
the loan is approved for purchase from the correspondent.  Unlike many
traditional HLTV home equity lenders who rely predominantly on FICO scores to
determine whether a loan should be approved, PSBL utilizes FICO scores only as a
factor, and not the sole factor in underwriting the loan.  PSBL utilizes an
established underwriting system supported by a review and analysis of important
credit criteria including credit depth, high credit, past due credits, mortgage
history and payment patterns, job type and stability, and sources and
consistency of income.  In addition, the HLTV home equity loan is secured by the
borrower's property which provides an incentive for avoiding default.

  The Company's credit risk will be further mitigated by a lending program which
emphasizes underwriting loans to borrowers with excellent credit histories and
the following risk profiles:

        . Minimum FICO score of 650 with an average FICO score of 680-685 (the
          Company considers a FICO score of 680 and above as "A-quality" paper);
        . Maximum loan-to-value ratio of 125% with an average ratio of 110%;
        . Maximum debt-to-income ratio of 45% with an average ratio of 40%; and
        . Maximum loan size of $50,000 with an average loan size of $37,500.

  Given the increased level of risk associated with HLTV home equity loans, the
Company anticipates conservatively establishing reserves for loan losses at 10%
of the original loan balance over the average life of the loan which is
currently estimated at approximately 5 years.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

  The acquisition of PSBL will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and will generate goodwill currently estimated at $120 million, based
on the initial consideration, which will be amortized over 15 years.  The
transaction is structured such that the acquisition will be taxable to PSBL's
owner and as a result, the goodwill generated will be deductible by the Company
for tax purposes.  Additional consideration paid through the earn-out
arrangement will increase the amount of goodwill accordingly.

  The price/earnings ("P/E") multiple for this acquisition represents 10x PSBL's
trailing 12-month earnings of $24.5 million.  This is based on the present value
of the consideration being paid, assuming the full earn-out being paid over the
earn-out period.  This compares to an average P/E multiple of 22x prior year
earnings paid for recent acquisitions of consumer credit companies (based on
Piper Jaffray's analysis of consumer credit acquisitions).  Industry comparables
for this transaction are difficult, however, given that the Company will not be
securitizing the loans.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

  The Company expects, in accordance with the definitive agreement, to
immediately acquire a senior interest in PSBL's securitization assets,
conservatively valued at $43 million.  These assets are expected to yield 12.5%
annually and, because of their senior interest, will receive all cash flows from
the PSBL securitization until completely repaid.
