Dear Bob:

We are delighted that you have accepted our offer to join Flagstar as its
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. This letter outlines the
terms of our offer.

BASE SALARY

Your annual base salary will be $325,000.00,  to be paid monthly (on the 18th of
each month, or the nearest Thursday preceding the 18th, via direct deposit).

START DATE

You will report to work on May 1, 1995.

SIGN-ON BONUS

To assist you with your  transition to Flagstar,  and in  recognition of certain
rights and benefits you may be forfeiting by accepting our offer of  employment,
you will  receive  a  signing  bonus of  $100,000.00.  One-half  of this  amount
($50,000.00)  will be paid to you as soon as practicable  after you join us. The
remainder will be paid to you in January, 1996. Applicable income and FICA taxes
will be withheld from both  payments.  Should you leave the Company  voluntarily
within 12 months  following  your  starting  date,  you agree to  reimburse  the
Company the full $100,000.00 amount.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE

You will participate in our annual Senior  Management  Incentive Plan. For 1995,
your target  incentive  will be 75% of your base salary.  Payouts are  dependent
upon the achievement of predetermined goals, which are established annually.

For  1995,  we will  guarantee  payment  of at least  50% of your  target  bonus
($121,875.00).  This will be paid to you, less withholding for applicable income
and FICA taxes, no later than February 28, 1996.

STOCK OPTIONS

We will  recommend to the  Compensation  and Benefits  Committee of the Board of
Directors that you be granted the option to purchase  100,000 shares of Flagstar
common stock at the stock's  closing price on your starting date.  These options
will have a 10-year term and will vest as follows:  50% after 2 years; 75% after
3 years; and 100% after 4 years. These non-qualified  options will be subject to
other terms and  conditions of the Company's  Stock Option Plan, a copy of which
is enclosed.

BENEFITS

You will be eligible to enroll in our group benefits program  (medical,  dental,
vision,  group  term life,  LTD,  etc.) with  coverage  effective  June 1, 1995.
Enclosed is more information about the options  available under the program.  In
addition,  effective  on the next  entry  date  (January  1,  1996)  you will be
eligible  to   participate   in  Flagstar's   Deferred   Compensation   Plan,  a
non-qualified,  matched pre-tax deferral plan. Information about that program is
also  enclosed.  Finally,  you will be eligible to  participate  in the Flagstar
Pension Plan.


RELOCATION

We offer a  comprehensive  relocation  program per the  materials  that you have
received  (Plan 1). The program  includes a buy-out option at the average of two
independent appraisals. (You may select from a list of approved appraisers.)

In addition to this relocation program, you will receive a relocation supplement
of $100,000.00  (grossed-up  for federal and state income  taxes).  This will be
paid to you as soon as practical after you join us.

If you  voluntarily  leave the Company  before May 1, 1996 you agree to repay to
the Company in full all relocation costs and expenses.

SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

You will be entitled to a lump sum payment  equal to 200% of your then  existing
annual base  salary,  plus 75% of your  existing  base  salary or target  bonus,
whichever is greater (less  required  withholding  for income and FICA taxes) in
the event you are  involuntarily  terminated  for any reason other than fraud or
illegal  acts,  or in the  event  that as a result of any  actions  taken by the
Company,  you no longer have the title or responsibility of CFO of Flagstar,  or
in the event your base salary is reduced.

The  payment of any  severance  benefit to you under this  letter  agreement  is
conditioned  upon your  signing a release  of claims  against  Flagstar  and its
affiliates in a form  satisfactory to Flagstar,  and any such payment under this
agreement  will be in lieu  of any  other  severance  plan  or  practice  of the
Company.

Bob, we are very pleased to offer you this  position and are  delighted you have
decided to become part of our team.

If you are in agreement  with these  terms,  please sign one copy of this letter
and return it to me.

Very truly yours,
