         upcoming fiscal year.  Bonuses for each fiscal year shall be
         determined and paid prior to September 1 following the end of the
         fiscal year (provided that if audited financial statements are not yet
         available such date may be extended to not later than October 1).  At
         no time during the term of this Agreement shall Executive's annual

         Executive's tax returns, including federal, state and local returns, 
         if any, provided, however, that the obligation of UnionFed and Union 
         Federal hereunder shall not exceed $15,000 in any fiscal year

         common stock, with an exercise price of $1.75 per share, and for
         34,800 shares at an exercise price of $1.875 per share, in each case
         subject to a vesting schedule wherein 25% of such options vest on each

         Executive shall have a ten year term and all shares delivered under
         the option grants shall be registered with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission."

         12 U.S.C. Section  1828(k), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit C,
         and any regulations promulgated thereunder."
