SUBORDINATED LOAN AGREEMENT
upon
NASD
Approval
AGREEMENT dated 10-13-98 to be effective ____________ between ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇, (the "Lender") and Tejas Securities Group, Inc. (the "Broker-Dealer")
In consideration of the sum of $500,000.00 and subject to the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the Broker-Dealer promises to pay to the
Lender or assigns on November 1, 2001, at the principal office of the Broker-
Dealer the aforedescribed sum and interest thereon payable at the rate of 11.5%
percent per annum from the effective date of this Agreement, which date shall be
the date so agreed upon by the Lender and the Broker-Dealer unless otherwise
determined by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
This Agreement shall not be considered a satisfactory subordination agreement
pursuant to the provisions of 17 CFR 240.15c3-1d unless and until the NASD has
found the Agreement acceptable and such Agreement has become effective in the
form found acceptable.
The cash proceeds covered by this Agreement shall be used and dealt
with by the Broker-Dealer as part of its capital and shall be subject to the
risks of the business. The Broker-Dealer shall have the right to deposit any
cash proceeds of this Subordinated Loan Agreement in an account or accounts in
its own name in any bank or trust company.
The Lender irrevocably agrees that the obligations of the Broker-Dealer
under this Agreement with respect to the payment of principal and interest shall
be and are subordinate in right of payment and subject to the prior payment or
provision for payment in full of all claims of all other present and future
creditors of the Broker-Dealer arising out of any matter occurring prior to the
date on which the related Payment Obligation (as defined herein) matures
consistent with the provisions of 17 CFR 240.15c3-1 and 240.15c3-1d, except for
claims which are the subject of subordination agreements which rank on the same
priority as, or are junior to the claim of the Lender under such subordination
agreements.
I. PERMISSIVE PREPAYMENTS (OPTIONAL)
At the option of the Broker-Dealer, but not at the option of the
Lender, payment of all or any part of the "Payment Obligation" amount hereof
prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date may be made by the Broker-Dealer only upon
receipt of the prior written approval of the NASD, but in no event may any
prepayment be made before the expiration of one year from the date this
Agreement became effective. No prepayment shall be made if, after giving effect
thereto (and all payments of Payment Obligations under any other subordination
agreements then outstanding, the maturity or accelerated maturity of which are
scheduled to fall due either within six months after the date such prepayment is
to occur or on or prior to the date on which the Payment Obligation hereof is
scheduled to mature, whichever date is earlier), without reference to any
projected profit or loss of the Broker-Dealer, either aggregate indebtedness of
the Broker-Dealer would exceed 1000 percent of its net capital or such lesser
percent as may be made applicable to the Broker-Dealer from time to time by the
NASD, or a governmental agency or self-regulatory body having appropriate
authority, or if the Broker-Dealer is operating pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(ii)
of 17 CFR 240.15c3-1, its net capital would be less than 5 percent of aggregate
debit items computed in accordance with 17 CFR 240.15c3-3a, or, if registered as
a futures commission merchant, 7 percent of the funds required to be segregated
pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder, (less the
market value of commodity options purchased by option customers on or subject to
the rules of a contract market, provided, however, the deduction for each option
customer shall be limited to the amount of customer funds in such option
customers account,) if greater, or its net capital would be less than 120
percent of the minimum dollar amount required by 17 CFR 240.15c3-1 or such
greater dollar amount as may be made applicable to the Broker-
NASD FORM SL-1

Dealer by the NASD, or a governmental agency or "self-regulatory" body having
appropriate authority.
II. SUSPENDED REPAYMENTS
(a) The Payment Obligation of the Broker-Dealer shall be suspended and
shall not mature if, after giving effect to such payment (together with the
payment of any Payment Obligation of the Broker-Dealer under any other
subordination agreement scheduled to mature on or before such Payment
Obligation) the aggregate indebtedness of the Broker-Dealer would exceed 1200
percent of its net capital or such lesser percent as may be made applicable to
the Broker-Dealer from time to time by the NASD, or a governmental agency or
self-regulatory body having appropriate authority, or if the Broker-Dealer is
operating pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of 17 CFR 240.15c3-1, its net
capital would be less than 5 percent of aggregate debit items computed in
accordance with 17 CFR 240.15c3-3a, or, if registered as a futures commission
merchant, 6 percent of the funds required to be segregated pursuant to the
Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder, (less the market value
of commodity options purchased by option customers on or subject to the rules
of a contract market, provided, however, the deduction for each option customer
shall be limited to the amount of customer funds in such option customers
account,) if greater, or its net capital would be less than 120 percent of the
minimum dollar amount required by 17 CFR 240.15c3-1, or such greater dollar
amount as may be made applicable to the Broker-Dealer by the NASD, or a
governmental agency or self-regulatory body having appropriate authority.
IV. ACCELERATED MATURITY OF THE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT UPON THE
OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF ACCELERATION (OPTIONAL)
By prior written notice delivered to the Broker-Dealer at its
principal office and to the NASD upon the occurrence of any Event of
Acceleration (as defined herein), given no sooner than six months from the
effective date of this Agreement, the Lender may accelerate such Payment
Obligation to the last business day of a calendar month not less than six
months after the receipt of such notice by both the Broker-Dealer and the NASD.
If, upon such accelerated maturity, the Payment Obligation of the
Broker-Dealer is suspended pursuant to paragraph II of this Agreement, and
liquidation of the Broker-Dealer has not commenced on or prior to such
accelerated maturity date, such Agreement shall mature on the day immediately
following such accelerated maturity date and, in any event, the Payment
Obligations of the Broker-Dealer with respect to all other subordination
agreements then outstanding shall also mature at the same time. Events of
Acceleration which may be included shall be limited to:
(a) Failure to pay interest or any installment of principal on this
Agreement as scheduled;

Lender and Broker-Dealer agree (i) is a significant indication that the
financial position of the Broker-Dealer has changed materially and adversely
from agreed upon specified norms; or (ii) could materially and adversely affect

effective date of the subordination agreements; or (iii) is a significant

not already commenced, the rapid and orderly liquidation of the business of the
Broker-Dealer shall then commence upon the happening of an Event of Default,
and the date of said Event of Default shall be the date on which the Payment
Obligations of the Broker-Dealer with respect to all other subordination
agreements then outstanding shall mature.
Events of Default which may be included shall be limited to:

accordance therewith is less than 2 percent of its aggregate debit items

commission merchant, 4 percent of the funds required to be segregated pursuant

value of commodity options purchased by option customers on or subject to the
rules of a contract market, provided, however, the deduction for each option
customer shall be limited to the amount of customer funds in such option
customer's account') if greater, throughout a period of 15 consecutive business

effect to all payments of Payment Obligations under subordination agreements
then outstanding which are then due or mature within six months without

ADDENDUM AGREEMENT
Reference is hereby made to that certain Subordinated Loan Agreement
dated effective October 13, 1998, between ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Lender")
and TEJAS SECURITIES GROUP, INC. (the "Broker-Dealer"), as the same may be
amended or modified from time to time (the "Loan Agreement"). Capitalized terms
used in this Addendum Agreement (the "Addendum"), to the extent not otherwise
defined herein, shall have the same meanings as in the Loan Agreement. The
terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference. This Addendum shall constitute additional terms and conditions to
which the Payment Obligation is subject.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises herein contained and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Lender and the Broker-Dealer hereby agree as follows:
1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Loan Agreement,
Broker-Dealer may incur, issue, and permit to exist obligations of the
Broker-Dealer for borrowed money in a principal amount outstanding which shall
not at any time exceed $2,500,000.00, which obligations shall be senior to the
repayment of the Payment Obligation which is the subject of the Loan Agreement.
2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Loan Agreement,
Broker-Dealer may incur, issue, and permit to exist obligations of
Broker-Dealer for borrowed money in a principal amount outstanding at any time
not to exceed $2,000,000.00, which obligations shall rank pari passu with the
Payment Obligation which is the subject of the Loan Agreement and shall bear
terms substantially similar to the Payment Obligation which is the subject of
the Loan Agreement.
3. Broker-Dealer agrees that, so long as the Payment Obligation or any part
thereof is outstanding, the Broker-Dealer shall not pay salary to its
President, Mr. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ IV, in an amount in excess of $360,000.00 per year.
Broker-Dealer shall however be permitted to provide to Mr. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ IV,
President of Broker-Dealer, in addition to such salary, such additional
standard benefits as Broker-Dealer deems necessary or desirable, including
without limitation stock options, the use of a company automobile, insurance,
and other standard benefits.
4. Broker-Dealer agrees that so long as the Payment Obligation or any part
thereof remains outstanding, Broker-Dealer shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Lender, pay any dividends or make any other payment or
distribution in cash on account of its capital stock.
5. Broker-Dealer agrees that, for so long as the Payment Obligation or any part
thereof remains outstanding, the Broker-Dealer shall authorize a representative
of the Lender to maintain a seat on the Board of Directors of Broker-Dealer.
6. As a condition of the Loan Agreement, Broker-Dealer shall issue to the
Lender, on the date of approval of the transaction which is the subject of the
Loan Agreement by the NASD, warrants to purchase 112,500 shares of common
capital stock of the Broker-Dealer, which warrants shall be exercisable at a
price of $2.65 per share of common stock and shall be exercisable for a period
of five (5) years from the date of issuance of such warrants. The terms
13
of such warrants, whether or not exercised, shall entitle the Lender to
participate in underwriter warrant distributions on the same basis as
shareholders of the Broker-Dealer at any time while the Payment Obligation or
any part thereof remains outstanding, such distributions to be determined on
the basis that each such warrant for the purchase of a share of common stock
equals a single share of common stock.
7. If Broker-Dealer shall fail to perform, observe, or comply with any
covenant, agreement or term contained in this Addendum, and such failure shall
continue for thirty (30) days after the Lender sends to the Broker-Dealer
notice thereof, such failure shall constitute an Event of Acceleration and
shall entitle the Lender to exercise the rights and remedies available to it
under the Loan Agreement.
8. This Addendum shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Texas. THIS ADDENDUM, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, AND THE OTHER
DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT
AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS,
AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL,
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY
EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR
DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE
PARTIES HERETO. The provisions of this Addendum and the Loan Agreement to which
the Broker-Dealer is a party may be amended or waived only by an instrument in
writing signed by the parties hereto.
9. The unenforceability of any provision of this Addendum shall not affect the
enforceability or validity of any other provision hereof.
10. This Addendum may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
11. All notices and other communications provided for in this Addendum shall be
given to the parties hereto at the "Address for Notices" specified below its
name on the signature pages hereof; or as to any party at such other address
as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other party given in
