                                   AGREEMENT

         This Agreement,  dated December 23, 1998 (the  "Agreement"),  is hereby
entered  into  by  and  between  WVS  Financial  Corp.  (the  "Company"  or  the
"Purchaser") and Robert C. Sinewe and Michelle Sokolowski (the "Shareholders" or
the "Sellers"),  for the sale of 197,478 shares of common stock,  $.01 par value
per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company, as described herein.

         In consideration of the mutual promises, representations and warranties
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1.  (a)  The  Shareholders  hereby  represent  and  warrant  that  they
beneficially  own as of the date hereof  197,478  shares of Common  Stock of the
Company (the  "Shares"),  registered as follows:  129,818  shares in the name of
Robert C. Sinewe;  8,000  shares held in an  Individual  Retirement  Account for
Robert C. Sinewe;  7,330 shares held in the Company's  Employee Stock  Ownership

account of Robert C. Sinewe;  1,508  shares in the name of Michelle  Sokolowski;
2,244  shares held in the ESOP for the account of Michelle  Sokolowski;  and 363
shares held in the Profit Sharing Plan for the account of Michelle Sokolowski.

         (b) The  Shareholders  represent  and warrant  that they own all of the
Shares  free and clear of any  liens,  encumbrances,  charges,  restrictions  or
rights of third parties of any kind whatsoever.

         (c)  The   Shareholders   represent   and  warrant  that  they  do  not
beneficially  own any other  shares of Common  Stock of the  Company  except for
shares earned or accrued  under the ESOP and/or  Profit  Sharing Plan which have
not yet been allocated and distributed.

         2. The Shareholders  agree to sell 147,078 of the Shares to the Company
at a sale price of $15.50 per share for aggregate consideration of $2,279,709.

         The  Company  has a policy  of  normally  declaring  a  quarterly  cash
dividend  and  anticipates  declaring a cash  dividend  for the fourth  calendar
quarter  of 1998 with a record  date of  stockholders  entitled  to  payment  in
February  1999.  In order for the  Shareholders  to receive  the  benefit of the
fourth calendar quarter dividend, the delivery date for the 147,078 Shares shall
be after the record date for such dividend payment.  Delivery shall be on a date
with  three (3)  business  days  after the record  date for the  Company's  cash
dividend for the fourth calendar quarter of 1998 or such other date agreed to by
the Company and the Shareholders but in no event not more than five (5) business
days after such record date  ("Settlement  Date"). In the event that the Company
does not declare a cash dividend for the fourth  calendar  quarter of 1998, then
the Settlement Date shall be February 26, 1999.

         3. The  Shareholders  agree to sell 50,400 of the Shares to the Company
at a sale price  equal to the greater of (a) $15.50 per share or (b) the average
of  $15.50  and  the  Fair  Market  

<PAGE>

Value of a share of Common  Stock on the  Determination  Date,  each as  defined
below.

         In order for the  Shareholders  to receive the benefit of the Company's
anticipated  cash dividend for the second calendar quarter of 1999, the delivery
date for the  50,400  Shares  shall be after the record  date for such  dividend
payment.  The Settlement  Date shall be on a date within three (3) business days
after the record date for the Company's  cash  dividend for the second  calendar
quarter of 1999 or such other date agreed to by the Company and the Shareholders
but in no event not more than five (5) business  days after such record date. In
the event  that the  Company  does not  declare a cash  dividend  for the second
calendar quarter of 1999, then the Settlement Date shall be August 31, 1999.

         The "Determination  Date" for the pricing of the 50,400 Shares shall be
the next business day  immediately  after the record date for the Company's cash
dividend for the second calendar  quarter of 1999. In the event that the Company
does not declare a cash dividend for the second  calendar  quarter of 1999, then
the  Determination  Date shall be August 27, 1999.  The "Fair Market Value" of a
share of Common  Stock shall be equal to the  closing  sales price of the Common
Stock as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market on the  Determination  Date, and if
there are no sales transactions on such date then the Fair Market Value shall be
equal to the average of the last bid and ask prices for a share of Common  Stock
on such date.

         4. To the extent that the Shareholders have earned or accrued shares of
Common  Stock under the ESOP and the Profit  Sharing Plan for the plan year 1998
that will be allocated and distributed to them in 1999 (the "Plan Shares"),  the
Shareholders  agree to sell the Plan Shares to the Company at a sale price equal
to $15.50 per share.

         The Settlement  Date for the Plan Shares shall be on a date within five
(5) business days after the  Shareholders are notified that the Plan Shares have
been allocated to the Shareholders. The Company shall notify the Shareholders of
any allocation of Plan Shares after such  allocations  are determined and at the
same time that it notifies all plan participants of allocations under the plans.

         5. Upon  receipt of the  certificates  for the  Shares on a  Settlement
Date,  the  Purchaser  shall  deliver to the  Shareholders  a check for the cash
consideration  for the Shares.  Receipt of the sale proceeds by the Shareholders
shall  be  conditioned  upon  the  delivery  to the  Purchaser  of  certificates
representing  the Shares,  duly  endorsed or  accompanied  by stock  powers duly
executed in blank and in form acceptable for transfer by the Company's  transfer
agent or otherwise as acceptable to the Company.

         6. The  Shareholders  and the  Purchaser,  on behalf of themselves  and
their subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, assigns,
successors,  heirs and legal representatives,  hereby mutually release, quit and
forever  discharge  each  and  every  other  party  to this  Agreement  (and any
partners,  subsidiaries,  affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys,
financial  advisors,  other  agents,  assigns,   successors,   heirs  and  legal
representatives)  of and from any and all  actions,  causes of actions,  claims,
demands, debts, damages and liabilities of whatsoever kind and nature, known and
unknown,  at law or in equity,  in  contract 


<PAGE>

or in tort, fixed or contingent,  liquidated or  unliquidated,  which each party
hereto now has, claims,  threatens or asserts, or might or could hereafter have,
claim,  threaten  or  assert,  against  any or all of the other  parties to this
Agreement (or any of such parties' partners, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers,
directors,  employees,  attorneys,  financial  advisors,  other agents,  assign,
successors,  heirs and legal representatives) arising or alleged to arise out of
or in any manner  related to any contracts,  transactions,  acts or omissions by
any party hereto on or prior to the date of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing,  this mutual release  neither extends to nor includes the obligations
and  liabilities  created  by  this  Agreement  or  the  Severance  and  Release
Agreement, dated as of June 19, 1998, entered into between Robert C. Sinewe, the
Company and West View Savings Bank. The mutual release set forth in this Section
6 is understood and intended by the parties hereto constitute a general release.

         7. The parties hereto  acknowledge  and agree that a material breach or
threatened  material  breach by any party  may give rise to  irreparable  injury

provisions hereof and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in
any court of  competent  jurisdiction,  in addition to any other remedy to which
such  aggrieved  party may be entitled to in law or at equity.  In the event any
party  institutes  any legal  action to enforce such party's  rights  under,  or
recover damages for breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party or parties in
such action  shall be  entitled  to recover  from the other party or parties all
costs and expenses,  including but not limited to actual  attorneys' fees, court
costs,  witness  fees,  disbursements  and any other  expenses of  litigation or
negotiations, incurred by such prevailing party or parties.

         8. Any notice  required or permitted to be given  hereunder shall be in
