          EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of June 1, 1996 between
First Nationwide Bank, a Federal Savings Bank (the "Company") and
Christie S. Flanagan (the "Executive")

          The Company and the Executive entered into an Employment Agreement
(the "Original Agreement") dated as of October 1, 1994, calling for the
employment by the Company of the Executive for a term ending on December 31,
1999.

          The Company and the Executive do hereby wish to shorten the term of
the Original Agreement and consequently do hereby mutually agree by their
execution hereof to terminate the Original Agreement in its entirety and to
substitute in its place this new Agreement calling for the continued
employment by the Company of the Executive, on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement.

     Accordingly, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

               Employment, Duties and Acceptance.

               1.1 Employment, Duties. The Company hereby employs the Executive
for the Term (as defined in section 2.1), to render exclusive (except as
otherwise provided herein) and full-time services to the Company as Executive
Vice President and General Counsel or in such other executive position as may
be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Executive, and to perform such
other duties consistent with such position as may be assigned to the Executive
by the Board of Directors or any officer of the Company senior to the
Executive.

               1.2 Acceptance. The Executive hereby accepts such employment
and agrees to render the services described above. During the Term, the
Executive agrees to serve the Company faithfully and to the best of the
Executive's ability, to devote the Executive's entire business time, energy
and skill to such employment, and to use the Executive's best efforts, skill
and ability to promote the Company's interests. The Executive further agrees
to accept election, and to serve during all or any



                                      1




    
<PAGE>



part of the Term, as an officer or director of the Company and of any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, without any compensation therefor
other than that specified in this Agreement, if elected to any such position
by the shareholders or by the Board of Directors of the Company or of any
subsidiary or affiliate, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Executive shall be permitted (i) to serve in an Of Counsel position to
Jenkens & Gilchrist, P.C. through May 31, 1997 and (ii) to act as an executor,
a trustee and/or director of entities with whom the Executive has had a
continuing relationship (including Liberte Investors) so long as such
activities do not interfere in any material way with the Executive's duties
hereunder.

               1.3 Location. The duties to be performed by the Executive
hereunder shall be performed primarily at the office of the Company in Dallas,
Texas, with up to one week per month at the office of the Company in San
Francisco, California, in each case subject to reasonable other travel
requirements on behalf of the Company.

          2.   Term of Employment; Certain Post-Term Benefits.


               2.1  The Term.  The term of the Executive's
employment under this Agreement (the "Term") shall commence June
1, 1996 and shall end on May 31, 1999.

               2.2 Special Curtailment. The Term shall end earlier than the
original May 31, 1999 termination date provided in Section 2.1 if sooner
terminated pursuant to Section 4. Non-extension of the Term shall not be
deemed to be a wrongful termination of the Term or this Agreement by the
Company pursuant to Section 4.4.

          3.   Compensation; Benefits.


               3.1 Salary. As compensation for all services to be rendered
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Executive during the
Term a base salary, payable semi-monthly in arrears, at the annual rate of not
less than $700,000, less such deductions or amounts to be withheld as required
by applicable law and regulations (the "Base Salary"). In the event that the
Company, in its sole discretion, from time to time




                                      2



    
<PAGE>



determines to increase the Base Salary, such increased amount shall, from and
after the effective date of the increase, constitute "Base Salary" for
purposes of this Agreement.

               3.2  Substitution Payment.  In addition to the
amounts to be paid to the Executive pursuant to Section 3.1, the
Executive shall be paid a $20,000 "substitution payment".

               3.3 Business Expenses. Company shall pay or reimburse the
Executive for all reasonable expenses actually incurred or paid by the
Executive during the Term in the performance of the Executive's services under
this Agreement, upon presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such
other supporting information as the Company customarily may require of its
officers provided, however, that the maximum amount available for such expenses
during any period may be fixed in advance by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of
the Board of Directors, the President of the Company, or the Board of
Directors. The Company acknowledges that the Executive shall be permitted to
travel first class when travelling on behalf of the Company.

               3.3 Vacation. During the Term, the Executive shall be entitled
to a vacation period or periods of four weeks taken in accordance with the
vacation policy of the Company during each year of the Term. Vacation time not
used by the end of a year shall be forfeited.

               3.4 Fringe Benefits. During the Term, the Executive shall be
entitled to all benefits for which the Executive shall be eligible under any
qualified pension plan, 401(k) plan, group insurance or other so-called
"fringe" benefit plan which the Company provides to its employees generally,
together with executive medical benefits for the Executive, the Executive's
spouse and the Executive's children as from time to time in effect for
officers of the Company generally.

               3.5  Additional Benefits.  During the Term, the
Executive shall be entitled to such other benefits as are
specified in Appendix I to this Agreement.

               4.1 Death. If the Executive shall die during the Term, the Term
shall terminate and no further amounts or benefits shall be payable hereunder,
except that the Executive's legal representatives shall be entitled to receive
continued payments in an amount equal to 60% of the Base Salary, in the manner
specified in Section 3.1, until the end of the Term (as in effect immediately
prior to the Executive's death).

               4.2 Disability. If during the Term the Executive shall become
physically or mentally disabled, whether totally or partially, such that the
Executive is unable to perform the Executive's services hereunder for (i) a
period of six consecutive months or (ii) for shorter periods aggregating six
months during any twelve month period, the Company may at any time after the
last day of the six consecutive months of disability or the day on which the
shorter periods of disability shall have equalled an aggregate of six months,
by written notice to the Executive (but before the Executive has recovered
from such disability), terminate the Term and no further amounts or benefits
shall be payable hereunder, except that the Executive shall be entitled to
receive (i) continued payments in an amount equal to 60% of the Base Salary,
in the manner specified in Section 3.1, until the end of the Term (as in
effect immediately prior to such termination) and (ii) such amounts and
benefits, if any, specified in Paragraph 5 of Appendix 1. If the Executive
shall die before receiving all payments to be made by the Company in
accordance with the foregoing, such payments shall be made to a beneficiary
designated by the Executive on a form prescribed for such purpose by the
Company, or in the absence of such designation to the Executive's legal
representative.

               4.3 Cause. In the event of gross neglect by the Executive of
the Executive's duties hereunder, conviction of the Executive of any felony,
conviction of the Executive of any lesser crime or offense involving the
property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, willful
misconduct by the Executive in connection with the performance of any material
portion of the Executive's duties hereunder, breach by the Executive of any
material provision of this Agreement or any other conduct on the part of the

prejudicial to the best interests of the Company, the Company may at any time
by written notice to the Executive terminate the Term and, upon such
termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Executive shall be
entitled to receive no further amounts or benefits hereunder, except any as
shall have been earned to the date of such termination. Termination for Cause
under the foregoing sentence shall also include the bases therefore set forth
in the provisions of 12 C.F.R. Section 563.39(b) (1) or successor regulation
defining termination for cause in employment agreements for employees of a
savings association.

               4.4 Company Breach. In the event of (a) the breach of any
material provision of this Agreement by the Company, (b) the assignment to
Executive of duties materially inconsistent with his status as Executive Vice
President and General Counsel of the Company or an adverse alteration in the
nature of Executive's responsibilities or (c) a reduction by the Company in
the Executive's Base Salary or bonus or a failure by the Company to pay any
such amounts when due, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate the Term
upon 60 days' prior written notice to the Company. Upon such termination, or
in the event the Company terminates the Term or this Agreement other than
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 or 4.3, the Company shall continue
to provide the Executive (i) payments of Base Salary in the manner and amounts
specified in Section 3.1 and (ii) fringe benefits and additional benefits in
the manner and amounts specified in Sections 3.5 and 3.6, until the end of the
Term (as in effect immediately prior to such termination) (the "Damage
Period") . The Company's obligations pursuant to this Section 4.4 are subject
to the Executive's duty to mitigate damages by seeking other employment
provided, however, that the Executive shall not be required to accept a
position of lesser importance or of substantially different character than the
position held with the Company immediately prior to the effective date of
termination or in a location outside of the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area.
To the extent that the Executive shall earn compensation during the Damage
Period (without regard to when such compensation is paid) , the Base Salary
payments to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be
correspondingly reduced.

               4.5  Termination Under Banking Laws.

               4.5.1 If the Executive is suspended or temporarily prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Company's affairs by a notice served
under Section 8 (e) (3) or (g) (1) of Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the 11
FDIA-1) (12 U. S. C. 5 18 18 (e) (3) and (g) (1) ) the Company's obligations
under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service unless
stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed,
the Company may in its discretion (1) pay the Executive all or part of the
compensation withheld while its obligations hereunder were suspended, and (ii)
reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

               4.5.2 If the Executive is removed or permanently prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Company's affairs by an order issued
under Section 8 (e) (4) or (g) (1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. W1818(e) (4) or (g)
(1)), all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall terminate as
of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting
parties shall not be affected.

               4.5.3 If the Company is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)
(1) of the FDIA) , all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of
the date of default, but this Section 4.5.3 shall not affect any vested rights
of the Company or of the Executive.

               4.5.4 All obligations of the Company under this Agreement may
be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of this
Agreement is necessary for the continued operation of the Company, (i) by the
Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "Director") or his or her
designee, at the time Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Resolution
Trust Corporation enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on
behalf of the Company under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the
FDIA; or (ii) by the Director or his or her designee, at the time the Director
or his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems
related to operations of the Company or when the Company is determined by the
Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties
that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

               4.6 Litigation Expenses. Except as provided for in Section 5.7,
if the Company and the Executive become involved in any action, suit or
proceeding relating to the alleged breach of this Agreement by the Company or
the Executive, and if a judgment in such action, suit or proceeding is
rendered in favor of the Executive, the Company shall reimburse the Executive
for all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the
Executive in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Such costs shall
be paid to the Executive promptly upon presentation of expense statements or
other supporting information evidencing the incurrence of such expenses.

          5.   Protection of Confidential Information; Non-
               Competition.

               5.1 In view of the fact that the Executive's work for the
Company will bring the Executive into close contact with many confidential
affairs of the Company not readily available to the public, and plans for
future developments, the Executive agrees:

               5.1.1 To keep and retain in the strictest confidence all
confidential matters of the Company, including, without limitation, "know
how", trade secrets, customer lists, pricing policies, operational methods,
technical processes, formulae, inventions and research projects, and other
business affairs of the Company, learned by the Executive heretofore or
hereafter, and not to disclose them to anyone outside of the Company, either
during or after the Executive's employment with the Company, except in the
course of performing the Executive's duties hereunder or with the Company's
express written consent; and

               5.1.2 To deliver promptly to the Company on termination of the
Executive's employment by the Company, or at any time the Company may so
request, all memoranda, notes, records, reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints
and other documents (and all copies thereof) relating to the Company's
business and all property associated therewith, which the Executive may then
possess or have under the Executive's control.

               5.2 During the Term, the Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, enter the employ of, or render any services to, any person, firm
or corporation engaged in any business competitive with the business of the
Company or of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; the Executive shall not
engage in such business on the Executive's own account; and the Executive
shall not become interested in any such business, directly or indirectly, as
an individual partner, shareholder, director, officer, principal, agent,
employee, trustee, consultant, or in any other relationship or capacity
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed
to prohibit the Executive from acquiring, solely as an investment, up to five
percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any public
corporation.

               5.3 If the Executive commits a breach, or threatens to commit a
breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2 hereof, the Company
shall have the following rights and remedies:

               5.3.1 The right and remedy to have the provisions of this
Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it
being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will
cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not
provide an adequate remedy to the Company; and

               5.3.2 The right and remedy to require the Executive to account
for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals,
increments or other benefits (collectively "Benefits") derived or received by
the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any
of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, and the Executive hereby agrees
to account for and pay over such Benefits to the Company.

Each of the rights and remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the
other, and shall be severally enforceable, and all of such rights and remedies
shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies
available to the Company under law or in equity.

               5.4 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2,
or any part thereof, hereafter are construed to be invalid or unenforceable,
the same shall not affect the remainder of the covenant or covenants, which
shall be given full effect, without regard to the invalid portions.

               5.5 If any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2,
or any part thereof, are held to be unenforceable because of the duration of
such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court
making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or
area of such provision and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be
enforceable.

               5.6 The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction
to enforce the covenants contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 upon the courts of
any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that
the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly
unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such covenants or otherwise, it is
the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any
way affect the Company's right to the relief provided above in the courts of
any other states within the geographical scope of such covenants as to
breaches of such covenants in such other respective jurisdictions, the above
covenants as they relate to each state being for this purpose severable into
diverse and independent covenants.

               5.7 In the event that any action, suit or other proceeding in
law or in equity is brought to enforce the covenants contained in sections 5.1
and 5.2 or to obtain money damages for the breach thereof, and such action
results in the award of a judgment for money damages or in the granting of any
injunction in favor of the Company, all expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) of the Company in such action, suit or other proceeding shall
(on demand of the Company) be paid by the Executive. In the event the Company
fails to obtain a judgment for money damages or an injunction in favor of the
Company, all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Executive
in such action, suit or other proceeding shall (on demand of the Executive) be
paid by the Company.

          6.   Inventions and Patents.

               6.1 The Executive agrees that all processes, technologies and
inventions (collectively, "Inventions"), including new contributions,
improvements, ideas and discoveries, whether patentable or not, conceived,
developed, invented or made by him during the Term shall belong to the
Company, provided that such Inventions grew out of the Executive's work with
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, are related in any
manner to the business (commercial or experimental) of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates or are conceived or made on the Company's time
or with the use of the Company's facilities or materials. The Executive shall
further: (a) promptly disclose such Inventions to the Company; (b) assign to
the Company, without additional compensation, all patent and other rights to
such Inventions for the United States and foreign countries; (c) sign all
papers necessary to carry out the foregoing; and (d) give testimony in support
of the Executive's inventorship.

               6.2 If any Invention is described in a patent application or is
disclosed to third parties, directly or indirectly, by the Executive within
two years after the termination of the Executive's employment by the Company,
it is to be presumed that the Invention was conceived or made during the Term.

               6.3 The Executive agrees that the Executive will not assert any
rights to any Invention as having been made or acquired by the Executive prior
to the date of this Agreement, except for Inventions, if any, disclosed to the
Company in writing prior to the date hereof.

          7.   Intellectual Property.

          The Company shall be the sole owner of all the products and proceeds
of the Executive's services hereunder, including, but not limited to, all
materials, ideas, concepts, formats, suggestions, developments, arrangements,
packages, programs and other intellectual properties that the Executive may
acquire, obtain, develop or create in connection with and during the Term,
free and clear of any claims by the Executive (or anyone claiming under the
Executive) of any kind or character whatsoever (other

                                10

than the Executive's right to receive payments hereunder). The Executive
shall, at the request of the Company, execute such assignments, certificates
or other instruments as the Company may from time to time deem necessary or
desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect, enforce or
defend its right, title or interest in or to any such properties.

          8.   Indemnification.

          The Company will indemnify the Executive, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, against all costs, charges and expenses incurred
or sustained by the Executive in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding to which the Executive may be made a party by reason of the
Executive being an officer, director or employee of the Company or of any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

          9.   Notices.

          All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or
permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given if delivered personally, sent by overnight courier or

               10.2 The section headings contained herein are for reference
purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.

               10.3 This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or

shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any
such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained

                      UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

   The following unaudited pro forma financial data gives effect to the
Acquisitions, the Branch Sales, the issuances of the Holdings Preferred Stock
and the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and the Offering. The Branch
Purchases and the Home Federal Acquisition have not been reflected in the pro
forma financial data because such transactions are not material either
individually or in the aggregate.

   The following pro forma financial data as of and for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 are based on (i) the historical consolidated statement of
financial condition of Holdings giving effect to the Cal Fed Acquisition, the
issuance of the Holdings Preferred Stock and the Offering as if such
transactions occurred on June 30, 1996, and (ii) the historical consolidated
statement of operations of Holdings for the six months ended June 30, 1996
giving effect to the Cal Fed Acquisition, the SFFed Acquisition, the LMUSA
1996 Purchase, the Branch Sales, the issuances of the Holdings Preferred Stock
and the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes and the Offering as if such
transactions occurred on January 1, 1995. The following pro forma financial
data for the year ended December 31, 1995 is based on the historical
consolidated statement of operations of Holdings for the year ended December
31, 1995 giving effect to the Acquisitions, the Branch Sales, the issuances of
the Holdings Preferred Stock and the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
and the Offering as if such transactions occurred on January 1, 1995. The pro
forma adjustments are based on available information and upon certain
assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The Acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Under this method of accounting, the purchase price has been allocated to the
assets and liabilities acquired based on preliminary estimates of fair value.
The actual fair value is determined as of the consummation of each of the
Acquisitions. The pro forma financial data do not necessarily reflect the
results of operations or the financial position of Holdings that actually
would have resulted had the Acquisitions, the Branch Sales, the issuances of
the Holdings Preferred Stock and the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
and the Offering occurred at the dates indicated, or project the results of
operations or financial position of Holdings for any future date or period.

   The following unaudited pro forma financial data should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Holdings and the
notes thereto, the Consolidated Financial Statements of SFFed and the notes
thereto and the Consolidated Financial Statements of Cal Fed and California
Federal and the notes thereto, contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular.
Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings set forth in
the Offering Circular.

   Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to
them in Holdings' Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and Holdings'
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

       financial statements.

(ii)   Represents adjustments to (i) record Cal Fed's assets and liabilities
       at preliminary estimates of their respective fair value and (ii) the
       elimination of Cal Fed's historical intangible assets.

(iii)  Represents adjustments to record (i) the purchase price of the Cal Fed
       Acquisition, and (ii) the elimination of the equity of Cal Fed.

       Under proposed congressional legislation relative to the
recapitalization of the SAIF, a special assessment could be levied against
SAIF-insured deposits, which is currently estimated to range from 85 to 90
basis points. The impact of such assessment (at 90 basis points) on the pro
forma condensed combined statement of financial condition as of June 30, 1996
would be to (i) increase other liabilities by approximately $148 million and
(ii) reduce stockholders' equity by approximately $148 million. See
"Regulation--Regulation of Federal Savings Banks--FDIC Assessments."

(4) Represents dividends on Holdings Preferred Stock (estimated at 10% per
    annum). A change of .25% in the dividend rate payable with respect to
    the Holdings Preferred Stock would change dividends by $188.

(5) Management expects the Bank to maintain its "well capitalized" status
    upon consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition. Accordingly, First
    Nationwide may sell certain of its assets or cause Cal Fed to sell
    certain assets of Cal Fed prior to the consummation of the Cal Fed
    Acquisition. The assets to be sold may include mortgage-backed
    securities (such as the MBS Sale), or other assets. To the extent
    interest-bearing assets of the Bank or Cal Fed are sold, the net income

(3) Represents the reduction in interest income relative to the loss in
    yield on the purchase price of the Cal Fed Acquisition funded with
    existing cash.

(4) Represents adjustments to other noninterest expense relating to the
    consolidation of Cal Fed's operations into those of Holdings. A
    substantial portion of Cal Fed's operations will be consolidated into
    the existing operations of Holdings, resulting in a reduction in
    headcount of 850, or approximately 35%, across all business areas. In
    addition, seven retail branches and two administrative offices will be
    closed. Expected savings from such consolidation include compensation,
    occupancy, travel, telecommunications, data processing and marketing
    expenses. The expense reduction for the year ended December 31, 1995
    represents a 32% reduction over historical levels based on management's
    current transition plan:

    A change in the interest rate payable with respect to the Notes of .25%
    would change interest expense by $1,313.

(3) Represents amounts necessary to adjust historical tax expense to the
    pro forma computation. Pro forma tax expense for the year ended
    December 31, 1995 related to the issuance of the Holdings 9 1/8% Senior

(4) Management expects the Bank to maintain its "well capitalized" status
    upon consummation of the Cal Fed Acquisition. Accordingly, First
    Nationwide may sell certain of its assets or cause Cal Fed to sell
    certain assets of Cal Fed prior to the consummation of the Cal Fed
    Acquisition. The assets to be sold may include mortgage-backed
    securities (such as the MBS Sale), or other assets. To the extent
    interest-bearing assets of the Bank or Cal Fed are sold, the net income
    of the Bank would decrease by the amount of the incremental yield on
    such assets over their related funding cost. Such reductions are not
    reflected in pro forma net income (loss).

(5) Represents dividends on Holdings Preferred Stock (estimated at 10% per
    annum). A change of .25% in the dividend rate payable with respect to
    the Holdings Preferred Stock would change dividends by $375.

of perpetual preferred stock of Holdings and (iii) existing cash. The offering
of the Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
