                The Metropolitan Consolidated Group Of Companies
 
General
 
   Metropolitan was incorporated in the State of Washington in January, 1953.
Its principal executive offices are located at 601 West First Avenue, Spokane,
Washington 99201-5015. Its mailing address is P.O. Box 2162, Spokane,
Washington 99210-2162 and its telephone number is (509) 838-3111. Metropolitan
and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the
"Consolidated Group," while references solely to the parent company will be to
"Metropolitan."
 
History
 
   Metropolitan's controlling shareholder is C. Paul Sandifur, Jr. Mr. Sandifur
has control through his voting power over a family trust and through his direct
ownership of common stock. See "Item 12" in Metropolitan's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1998, which is attached to this
prospectus. As a result of Mr. Sandifur's common control, we have several other
affiliates, including Summit Securities, Inc., Old Standard Life Insurance
Company and Old West Annuity & Life Insurance Company. Collectively, these
affiliated companies are referred to as "Affiliated Companies." The chart on
the next page depicts the relationship of certain significant companies in the
Consolidated Group.
 
Business
 
   The Consolidated Group is engaged in a nationwide business of acquiring,
holding and selling receivables. These receivables include real estate
contracts and promissory notes that are secured by first position liens on real
estate. The Consolidated Group also invests in receivables consisting of real
estate contracts and promissory notes secured by second and lower position
liens, structured settlements, annuities, lottery prizes, and other
investments. These assets are collectively referred to in this prospectus as
"Receivables." The Receivables secured by real estate are typically non-
conventional because they were either financed by the sellers of the properties
involved or they were originated by institutional lenders who originate loans
for borrowers with impaired credit or for non-conventional properties. In
addition to Receivables, the Consolidated Group invests in other assets,
including U.S. Treasury obligations, corporate bonds and other securities.
 
   The Consolidated Group's capital to invest in these Receivables comes from
several sources. The Consolidated Group uses funds generated from the sale and
securitization of Receivables, collateralized borrowings, Receivable cash
flows, the sale of annuities, the sale of debentures and preferred stock, the
sale of real estate, and securities portfolio earnings.
 
   The Consolidated Group provides services to the Affiliated Companies for a
fee and engages in various business transactions with the Affiliated Companies.
Metropolitan provides Receivable acquisition services to the Affiliated
Companies and to our insurance subsidiary, Western United Life Assurance
Company ("Western United"). Metropolitan's wholly owned subsidiary, Metwest
Mortgage Services, Inc., conducts Receivable collection and servicing
activities for the Affiliated Companies and services Receivables for
Metropolitan and for Western United.

   The Consolidated Group owns various properties acquired through repossession
and other sources. These properties are held for sale and/or development. For a
more detailed discussion of the business of the Consolidated Group, see "Item
1" in Metropolitan's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1998, which is attached to this prospectus.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
   When deciding whether or not to purchase the Debentures, you should
carefully consider the risks set forth in the section entitled "INTRODUCTION--
Factors Affecting Future Operating Results" of Metropolitan's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1998, incorporated into and attached
to this prospectus. You should also consider the following risks associated
with an investment in the Debentures:
 
The Indenture does not           Metropolitan's and your rights and
restrict the ability of          obligations in the Debentures are defined in
Metropolitan to incur            an indenture dated as of July 6, 1979, and a
additional debt                  supplement to that indenture dated as of
                                 December 31, 1997. The indenture does not
                                 restrict our ability to issue additional
                                 debentures or to incur other debt. We are not
                                 required to maintain any specified financial
                                 ratios, minimum net worth, minimum working
                                 capital or a sinking fund.
 
Debentures are not insured       The Debentures offered in this prospectus are
against the risk of loss         unsecured obligations of our company and they
                                 are not insured or guaranteed by any bank,
                                 any governmental agency, any insurance
                                 company, any affiliate of our company or any
                                 other person or entity. Thus, the Debentures
                                 have greater risk than investments that are
                                 insured by such entities against the risk of
                                 loss.
 
Debentures are not a liquid      There is no trading market for the Debentures
investment due to the absence    and it is not anticipated that one will
of an established trading        develop. Generally, you cannot have your
market                           Debentures redeemed until they mature. There
                                 are only limited situations in which
                                 Debentures will be redeemed early. These may
                                 include situations where there is a mutual
                                 agreement between you and Metropolitan, or
                                 when the "prepayment on death" provision
                                 applies. You should consider your needs for
                                 liquidity before investing in the Debentures
                                 and you should be prepared to hold any
                                 Debentures purchased in this offering until
                                 their maturity. See "DESCRIPTION OF
                                 CERTIFICATES."
 
Risks with holding book-entry    Our use of book-entry Debentures rather than
Debentures because there are     actual physical certificates in this offering
no physical certificates to      could limit the markets for these securities,
transfer                         prevent a secondary market from forming and
                                 could delay payments to you. The absence of
                                 physical certificates for the Debentures may
                                 prevent a secondary market from developing
                                 because investors may be unwilling to invest
                                 in securities if they cannot obtain delivery
                                 of physical certificates. The use of book-
                                 entry certificates may delay payments to you
                                 because distributions on the Debentures would
                                 be made first to the person in whose name the
                                 certificates are registered.
 
Possible inability to continue   The State of Washington regulates the amount
selling securities               of securities that Metropolitan can sell
                                 under the Debenture Company Act. Under that
                                 Act, the amount of securities that can be
                                 sold can be, and has previously been, limited
                                 by the State of Washington. Because of this
                                 limitation, we may be restricted in the
                                 amount of securities that we are able to
                                 offer in this offering or in future
                                 offerings.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   If all the Debentures offered are sold, we expect net proceeds to total
$100,000,000 before deducting sales commissions and other expenses. Sales
commissions will range from zero to six percent (0%-6%) of the offering
proceeds (between $0 and $6,000,000), depending on the maturities of
Debentures sold and whether sales are reinvestments or new purchases. Other
expenses are estimated to be $215,000. There can be no assurance that any of
the Debentures can or will be sold.
 
   In conjunction with the other funds available to us through operations
and/or borrowings, we currently plan to utilize the proceeds of the Debenture
offerings for the following purposes: priority will be given first to
(i) funding investments in Receivables and other investments, which may
include investments in existing subsidiaries, the commencement of new business
ventures or the acquisition of other companies, and then to (ii) the
development of real estate currently held by Metropolitan or acquired in the
future. Presently there are no commitments or agreements for material
acquisitions. However, the Consolidated Group continues to evaluate possible
acquisition candidates. To the extent internally generated funds are
insufficient or unavailable for the retirement of maturing debentures through
the period ending January 31, 2000, proceeds of this offering may be used for
retiring maturing debentures, preferred stock dividends and for general
corporate purposes, including debt service and other general operating
expenses. Approximately $48.0 million in principal amount of debt securities
will mature between February 1, 1999 and January 31, 2000 with interest rates
ranging from 6.1% to 10.25% and averaging approximately 7.9% per annum. See
"BUSINESS--Factors Affecting Future Operating Results" under Item 1 in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1998.
 
   Management anticipates that some of the proceeds from this offering will be
invested in money market funds, bank repurchase agreements, commercial paper,
U.S. Treasury Bills and similar securities investments while awaiting use as
described above. Due to our inability to accurately forecast the total amount
of Debentures to be sold in this offering, no specific amounts have been
allocated for any of the foregoing purposes.
 
   In the event substantially less than the maximum proceeds are obtained, we
do not anticipate any material changes to our planned use of proceeds from
those described above.
 
                           DESCRIPTION OF DEBENTURES
 
General
 
   The Debentures will be issued under an indenture dated as of July 6, 1979
and a supplement thereto dated as of December 31, 1997 (collectively, the
"Indenture"). The following statements relating to the Debentures and the
Indenture are summaries and do not purport to be complete. Such summaries are
subject to the detailed provisions of the Indenture and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the Indenture, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and is also available for inspection at the
office of the trustee.
 
   The Debentures will represent unsecured general obligations of Metropolitan
and will be issued in book-entry form without coupons, in fractional
denominations of $0.01 or more subject to the stated minimum investment amount
requirements. The Debentures will be sold to the public at 100% of their
principal amount. The Debentures will be issued in accordance with the minimum
investment amounts, maturities and interest rates set forth on the cover page
of this prospectus. The stated interest rates, maturities, and minimum
investment amounts of any unissued Debentures may be changed at any time by
Metropolitan by supplementing this prospectus. Any such change will have no
effect on the terms of the previously sold Debentures.
 
   Debentures may be transferred or exchanged for other Debentures of the same
series, of a like aggregate principal amount, subject to the limitations set
forth in the Indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or
exchange of Debentures. Metropolitan may require payment of taxes or other
governmental charges imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange.
Interest will accrue at the stated rate from the date of issue until maturity.
The Debentures are not convertible into capital stock or other securities of
Metropolitan.
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
   The Debentures are not subject to redemption prior to maturity, but may be
prepaid pursuant to the prepayment on death provision described below. Also,
in limited circumstances involving an investor's demonstrated financial
hardship, subject to regulatory restrictions affecting redemptions and
exchanges of securities during an offering, Metropolitan may, in its sole
discretion, consider a request for an early payout of a Debenture upon terms
mutually agreed to by the holder of the Debenture and Metropolitan. Such early
payout requests are reviewed in the order received and are subject to the
review by Metropolitan's executive management.
 
Payment of Principal and Interest
 
   Interest will be payable to Debenture holders under one of several interest
payment plans. The purchaser selects an interest payment plan at the time the
Debentures are purchased and can change this plan at any time by giving
written notice to Metropolitan. The purchaser may elect to have interest paid
on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, without compounding. Or,
an investor may elect to leave the accrued interest with Metropolitan in which
case it will compound semi-annually at the stated interest rate. Under the
compounding option, upon written notice to Metropolitan, the Debenture
holder(s) may withdraw the interest accumulated during the last two completed
semi-annual compounding periods as well as the interest accrued from the end
of the last compounding period to the date Metropolitan receives the notice.
Amounts compounded prior to the last two semi-annual compounding periods are
available only at maturity.
 
   Alternatively, at the election of the Debenture holder, at the time of
investment and subject to the minimum term and investment requirements set
forth on the cover page of this prospectus, level monthly installments
comprised of principal and interest will be paid to the Debenture holder
commencing 30 days from date of issue of the Debenture until maturity. The
amount of each installment will be determined by the amortization term
designated by the Debenture holder at the time the Debenture is purchased.
 
   Debenture holders are notified in writing between 15 and 45 days prior to
the date their Debentures will mature. When a Debenture matures, the amounts
due on maturity are placed in a separate bank trust account until paid to the
registered owner(s). Debentures do not earn interest after the maturity date.
Metropolitan will pay the principal and accumulated interest due on matured
Debentures to the registered owner(s) in cash at Metropolitan's main office in
Spokane, Washington or by check mailed to the address designated by the
registered owner.
 
Prepayment on Death
 
   In the event of the death of a Debenture holder, any party entitled to
receive some or all of the proceeds from that Debenture may elect to have his
or her portion of the principal and any accrued but unpaid interest prepaid in
full in five consecutive equal monthly installments. Interest will continue to
accrue on the declining principal balance of such portion. No interest penalty
will be assessed. Any request for prepayment shall be made to Metropolitan in
writing and shall be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Metropolitan of
the death of the registered owner or joint registered owner. Before
prepayment, Metropolitan may require the submission of additional documents or
other material which it may consider necessary to determine the portion of the
proceeds the requesting party is entitled to receive, or assurances which, in
Metropolitan's discretion, it considers necessary to fulfill its obligations.
 
Related Indebtedness
 
   The Indenture pursuant to which the Debentures are issued does not restrict
Metropolitan's ability to issue additional debentures or to incur other debt.
The Indenture does not require Metropolitan to maintain any specified
financial ratios, minimum net worth or minimum working capital. There is no
sinking fund for the redemption of the Debentures. Debentures will not be
guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency. The State of Washington
regulates the amount of debt securities Metropolitan may issue, its debt to
equity ratio, certain of its investments and various other aspects of its
business. At September 30, 1998, Metropolitan had
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
outstanding approximately $198,205,000 (principal and compounded and accrued
interest) of debenture debt and $125,702,000 (principal and accrued interest)
of collateralized debt and similar obligations. The Debentures offered hereby
are senior in liquidation to all outstanding equity securities of
Metropolitan. They are subordinate to Metropolitan's collateralized debt as
set forth above and are on a parity with unsecured accounts payable and
accrued liabilities. There are no limitations on Metropolitan's ability to
incur additional collateralized debt. Debenture holders should not rely on the
terms of the Indenture for protection of their investment, but should look
rather to the creditworthiness of Metropolitan and its ability to satisfy its
obligations.
 
Concerning the Trustee
 
   Seattle First National Bank ("SFNB") was the trustee (the "Trustee") under
the Indenture until March 8, 1996, when SFNB sold its trust activities to
First Trust National Association ("First Trust") which assumed all of the
duties of the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, as amended.
First Trust was acquired by US Bank National Association ("US Bank") in 1998.
US Bank has assumed all of the duties of the Trustee in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture, as amended. The Trustee is obligated under the
Indenture to oversee and, if necessary, to take action to enforce fulfillment
of Metropolitan's obligations to Debenture holders. The Trustee is a national
banking association with a combined capital and surplus in excess of $100
million. Metropolitan and certain of its affiliates may maintain deposit
accounts with and may, from time to time, borrow money from the Trustee and
conduct other banking transactions with it. At September 30, 1998, and as of
the date of this prospectus, no loans from the Trustee were outstanding. In
the event of default, the Indenture permits the Trustee to become a creditor
of Metropolitan and does not preclude the Trustee from enforcing its rights as
a creditor, including rights as a holder of collateralized indebtedness.
 
Rights and Procedures in the Event of Default
 
   Events of default include (i) the failure of Metropolitan to pay interest
on any Debenture for a period of 30 days after it becomes due and payable;
(ii) the failure to pay the principal or any required installment thereof of
any Debenture when due; (iii) the failure to perform any other covenant in the
Indenture for 60 days after notice; and (iv) certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization with respect to Metropolitan. Upon the occurrence
of an event of default, either the Trustee or the holders of 25% or more in
principal amount of Debentures then outstanding may declare the principal of
all the Debentures outstanding to be immediately due and payable.
 
   The Trustee must give the Debenture holders notice by mail of any default
within 90 days after the occurrence of the default, unless it has been cured
or waived. The Trustee may withhold such notice if it determines in good faith
that such withholding is in the best interests of the Debenture holders,
unless the default is a failure to pay principal or interest on any Debenture.
 
   Subject to certain conditions, any such default, except for a failure to
pay principal or interest when due, may be waived by the holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding. Such holders
will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or of exercising any power
conferred on the Trustee, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture. The
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity from holders of Debentures before
acting at their direction.
 
   Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, Metropolitan must
furnish to the Trustee a statement of certain officers of Metropolitan
concerning their knowledge as to whether or not Metropolitan is in default
under the Indenture.
 
Modification of the Indenture
 
   Debenture holders' rights may be modified with the consent of the holders
of 66 2/3% of the outstanding principal amounts of Debentures, and 66 2/3% of
those series specifically affected. In general, no adverse
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
modification of the terms of payment and no modifications reducing the
percentage of Debentures required for modification is effective against any
Debenture holder without his or her consent.
 
Restrictions on Consolidation, Merger and Other Fundamental Corporate Changes
 
   Metropolitan may not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation
or transfer substantially all its assets unless either Metropolitan is the
continuing corporation after such consolidation or merger or the person
acquiring by conveyance or transfer of such assets shall be a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof which assumes the performance of every covenant of Metropolitan under
the Indenture and certain other conditions precedent are fulfilled.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
   Metropolitan acts as its own transfer agent and registrar of the
Debentures.
 
                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
   The Debentures are offered directly to the public on a continuing best
efforts basis through Metropolitan Investment Securities, Inc. ("MIS"), which
is affiliated with Metropolitan through the common control by C. Paul Sandifur
Jr. Accordingly, the offering has not received the independent selling agent
review customarily made when an unaffiliated selling agent offers securities.
No commission or other expense of the offering will be paid by the purchasers
of the Debentures. A commission will, however, be paid by Metropolitan on most
Debenture purchases up to a maximum amount of 6% of the Debenture price,
generally depending on the term of the Debenture and whether or not the
transaction is a reinvestment or new purchase. Debentures are offered only for
cash or cash equivalents. MIS will transmit such funds directly to
Metropolitan by noon of the next business day after receipt. During the three
fiscal years ended September 30, 1998, MIS has received commissions of
$3,698,362 from Metropolitan on sales of approximately $112,685,000 of
Metropolitan's debt securities.
 
   MIS is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(the "NASD"). Due to the affiliation of Metropolitan and MIS, Rule 2720 of the
NASD Conduct Rules requires, in part, that a qualified independent underwriter
be engaged to make a recommendation regarding the interest rates to be paid on
the Debentures offered by this prospectus. Accordingly, MIS has obtained a
letter from Cruttenden Roth Incorporated ("Cruttenden"), a NASD member,
stating that the interest rates on the Debentures using a formula tied to
corresponding interest rates paid by the U.S. Treasury and regional financial
institutions are consistent with Cruttenden's recommendations which were based
on conditions and circumstances existing as of the date of the prospectus.
Metropolitan undertakes to maintain the interest rates on Debentures no lower
than those recommended by Cruttenden based on the formula. Accordingly, the
yield at which the Debentures will be distributed will be no lower than that
recommended by Cruttenden. Cruttenden has assumed the responsibilities of
acting as the qualified independent underwriter in pricing the offering and
conducting due diligence. For performing its functions as a qualified
independent underwriter with respect to the Debentures offered hereunder,
Cruttenden is to be paid $66,667.00 in fees.
 
   The Registrant has agreed to indemnify Cruttenden against, or make
contributions to Cruttenden with respect to certain liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
 
   There is not now and Metropolitan does not expect that there will be a
public trading market for the Debentures in the future. MIS does not intend to
make a market for the Debentures. See "RISK FACTORS."
 
   MIS may enter into selected dealer agreements with and reallow to certain
dealers, who are members of the NASD, and certain foreign dealers who are not
eligible for membership in the NASD, a commission of up to 6% of the principal
amount of Debentures sold by such dealers.

Item 17. Undertakings
 
   (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
      (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act");
 
      (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
    aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
    in the registration statement;
 
      (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
    distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
    any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act,
  each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
  statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
  such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
  offering thereof.
 
                                     II-2
<PAGE>
 
    (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
  any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.
 
   (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling persons of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
 
   (c) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
   For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each post-
effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

offered in reliance on a registration statement filed on Form S-2 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission; and,

     WHEREAS, MIS, a broker/dealer and affiliate of Metropolitan and a member of

sole managing agent for Metropolitan; and,

     WHEREAS, pursuant to subparagraph (c) of Rule 2720 of the NASD, MIS, as a

customary standards of due diligence, with respect thereto; and,

     WHEREAS, this agreement ("Agreement") describes the terms on which

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitations set forth above, and
the terms, promises, conditions, and covenants herein contained, the parties
hereby contract and agree as follows:

                                  DEFINITIONS

     As hereinafter used, except as the context may otherwise require, the term
"Registration Statement" means the registration statement on Form S-2 (including
the related preliminary prospectus, financial statements, exhibits and all other
documents to be filed as a part thereof or incorporated therein) for the
registration of the offer and sale of the debentures under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "Act") filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and any
amendment thereto, and the term "Prospectus" means the prospectus including any
preliminary or final prospectus and any materials incorporated by reference into
and attached to the Prospectus (including the form of prospectus to be filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act) and any amendment or
supplement thereto, to be used in connection with the offering.

     1.  Rule 2720 REQUIREMENT.

          CRUTTENDEN hereby confirms its agreement as set forth in subparagraph
          15(g) of Rule 2720 of the Bylaws of the NASD and represents that, as

          filing of any post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
          or upon occurrence of any material event which may or may not require
          such an amendment to be filed, or at such time as the offering under
          this registration shall terminate or otherwise lapse under operation
          of law.

     4.   FEES AND EXPENSE.

          It is agreed that CRUTTENDEN shall be paid a fee in the amount of
          $66,667 payable upon delivery of the Pricing Recommendation Letter
          referred to in paragraph 3 above.

          therein in accordance with the Act and will conform to all other
          requirements of the federal securities laws, and will not, on such
          date include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state

          statements therein not misleading and that all contracts and documents
          required by the Act to be filed or required as exhibits to the
          Registration Statement have been filed.  Metropolitan further
          represents and warrants that any further filing, report, document,
          release or communication which in any way refers to CRUTTENDEN or to
          the services to be performed by CRUTTENDEN pursuant to this Agreement
          will not contain any untrue or misleading statement of a material fact
          or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
          necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

          Metropolitan further warrants and represents that:

          (a)   All leases, contracts and agreements referred to in or filed as
                exhibits to the Registration Statement to which Metropolitan or
                its subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound are in full
                force and effect, except as may otherwise be disclosed in the
                Registration Statement.

          (b)   Metropolitan has good and marketable title, except as otherwise
                indicated in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, to all
                of its assets and properties described therein as being owned by
                it, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except
                such encumbrances and defects which do not, in the aggregate,
                materially affect or interfere with the use made and proposed to
                be made of such properties as described in the Registration
<PAGE>
 
                Statement and Prospectus; and Metropolitan has no material
                leased properties except as disclosed in the Prospectus.

          (c)   Metropolitan is duly organized under the laws of the State of
                Washington and, as of the effective date of the Registration
                Statement and at the Closing Date Metropolitan will be validly
                existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
                Washington with full corporate power and authority to own its
                properties and conduct its business to the extent described in
                the Registration Statement and Prospectus; Metropolitan is duly
                qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
                standing in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the
                business transacted by it or its ownership of properties or
                assets makes qualification necessary; the authorized and
                outstanding capitalization of Metropolitan is as set forth in
                the Prospectus and the description in the Prospectus of the
                capital stock of Metropolitan conforms with and accurately
                describes the rights set forth in the instruments defining the
                same;

          (d)   Metropolitan is not in violation of its Certificate of
                Incorporation or Bylaws or in default in the performance or
                observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or
                condition contained in any bond, debenture, note, or other
                evidence of indebtedness, contract or lease or in any indenture
                or loan agreement to which it is a party or by which it is
                bound.

          (e)   The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has
                been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the
                part of Metropolitan and MIS and performance of the foregoing
                agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
                thereby, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of
                the terms or constitute a violation of the respective
                Certificates of Incorporation or Bylaws of Metropolitan or MIS,
                or any deed of trust, lease, sublease, indenture, mortgage, or
                other agreement or instrument to which Metropolitan or MIS is a
                party or by which either of them or their property is bound, or
                any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree
                of any government, governmental instrumentality or court,
                domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Metropolitan or
                MIS or their properties or obligations; and no consent,
                approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental
                agency or body is required for the consummation of the
                transactions contemplated herein and in the other agreements
                previously referred to in this paragraph except as may be
                required under the Act or under any state securities or laws.

          (f)   Any certificate signed by an officer of Metropolitan and
                delivered to CRUTTENDEN pursuant to this Agreement shall be
                deemed a representation and warranty by Metropolitan to
                CRUTTENDEN, to have the same force and effect as stated herein,
                as to the matters covered thereby.

          (g)   If any event relating to or affecting Metropolitan shall occur
                as a result of which it is necessary, in CRUTTENDEN's opinion,
                to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the
                Prospectus not misleading in the light of the circumstances
                existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser,
                Metropolitan undertakes to inform CRUTTENDEN of such events
                within a reasonable time thereafter, and will forthwith prepare
                and furnish to CRUTTENDEN, without expense to them, a reasonable
                number of copies of an amendment or amendments or a supplement
                or supplements to the Prospectus (in form and substance
                satisfactory to CRUTTENDEN) which will amend or supplement the
                Prospectus so that as amended or supplemented it will not
                contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
                a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in
                light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus
                is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading.

          (h)   Metropolitan hereby warrants and represents that it will offer
                the Debentures in accordance with the pricing formula that is
                set forth in Schedules "A" and "B" which are incorporated by
                reference herein.
<PAGE>
 
          (i)   All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
                Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of
                Metropolitan submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative
                and in full force and effect, surviving the date of this
                Agreement.

     6.   AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION.

          Metropolitan hereby agrees to provide CRUTTENDEN, at its expense, with
          all information and documentation with respect to its business,
          financial condition and other matters as CRUTTENDEN may deem relevant
          based on the standards of reasonableness and good faith and shall
          request in connection with CRUTTENDEN's performance under this
          Agreement, including, without limitation, copies of all correspondence
          with the Commission, certificates of its officers, opinions of its
          counsel and comfort letters from its auditors.  The above-mentioned
          certificates, opinions of counsel and comfort letters shall be
          provided to CRUTTENDEN as CRUTTENDEN may request on the effective date
          of the Registration Statement and on the Closing Date.  Metropolitan
          will make reasonably available to CRUTTENDEN, its auditors, counsel,
          and officers and directors to discuss with CRUTTENDEN any aspect of
          Metropolitan which CRUTTENDEN may deem relevant.  In addition,
          Metropolitan, at CRUTTENDEN's request, will cause to be delivered to
          CRUTTENDEN copies of all certificates, opinions, letters and reports
          to be delivered to the underwriter or underwriters, as the case may
          be, pursuant to any underwriting agreement executed in connection with
          the Offering or otherwise, and shall cause the person issuing such
          certificate, opinion, letter or report to authorize CRUTTENDEN to rely
          thereon to the same extent as if addressed directly to CRUTTENDEN.
          Metropolitan represents and warrants to CRUTTENDEN that all such
          information and documentation provided pursuant to this paragraph 6
          will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
          state a material fact necessary to make the statement therein not
          misleading.  In addition, Metropolitan will promptly advise CRUTTENDEN
          of all telephone conversations with the Commission which relate to or
          may affect the Offering.

     7.   INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)   Subject to the conditions set forth below, and in addition to
                any rights of indemnification and contribution to which
                CRUTTENDEN may be entitled pursuant to any agreement among
                underwriters, underwriting agreement or otherwise, and to the
                extent allowed by law, Metropolitan hereby agrees that it will
                indemnify and hold CRUTTENDEN and each person controlling,
                controlled by or under common control with CRUTTENDEN within the
                meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Securities
                Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or the
                rules and regulations thereunder (individually, an "Indemnified
                Person") harmless from and against any and all loss, claim,
                damage, liability, cost or expense whatsoever to which such
                Indemnified Person may become subject under the Act, the
                Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or
                regulation, at common law or otherwise, arising out of, based
                upon, or in any way related or attributed to (i) this Agreement,
                (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
                material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
                Prospectus or any other filing, report, document, release or
                communication, whether oral or written, referred to in paragraph
                5 hereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
                material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
                the statements therein not misleading, (iii) any application or
                other document executed by Metropolitan or based upon written
                information furnished by Metropolitan filed in any jurisdiction
                in order to qualify the Debentures under the securities or Blue
                Sky laws thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to state
                therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
                necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iv)
                the breach of any representation or warranty made by
                Metropolitan in this Agreement.  Metropolitan further agrees
                that upon demand by an Indemnified Person at any time or from
                time to time, it will promptly reimburse such Indemnified Person
                for, or pay, any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense
                as to which Metropolitan has indemnified such person pursuant
                hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
                paragraph 7, any such payment or reimbursement by Metropolitan
                of fees, expenses or disbursement incurred by an Indemnified
                Person in any proceeding in which a final judgment by a court of
                competent jurisdiction (after all appeals or the expiration of
                time to appeal) is entered against such Indemnified Person as a
                direct result of such person's negligence, bad faith or 
<PAGE>
 
                willful misfeasance will be promptly repaid to Metropolitan. In
                addition, anything in this paragraph 7 to the contrary
                notwithstanding, Metropolitan shall not be liable for any
                settlement of any action or proceeding effected without its
                written consent.

          (b)   Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under sub-
                paragraph (a) above of notice of the commencement of any action,
                such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is
                to be made against Metropolitan under paragraph (a), notify
                Metropolitan in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
                omission to so notify Metropolitan will not relieve Metropolitan
                from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person
                otherwise than under this paragraph 7 if such omission shall not
                have materially prejudiced Metropolitan's ability to investigate
                or to defend against such claim.  In case any such action is
                brought against any Indemnified Person, and such Indemnified
                Person notifies Metropolitan of the commencement thereof,
                Metropolitan will be entitled to participate therein and, to the
                extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the
                Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice
                from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with
                counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person;
                PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the defendants in any such action
                include both the Indemnified Person and Metropolitan or any
                corporation controlling, controlled by or under common control
                with Metropolitan, or any director, officer, employee,
                representative or agent of any thereof, or any other "Qualified
                Independent Underwriter" retained by Metropolitan in connection
                with the Offering and the Indemnified Person shall have
                reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
                to it which are different from or additional to those available
                to such other defendant, the Indemnified Person shall have the
                right to select separate counsel to represent it.  Upon receipt
                of notice from Metropolitan to such Indemnified Person of its
                election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by
                the Indemnified Person of counsel, Metropolitan will not be
                liable to such Indemnified Person under this paragraph 7 for any
                fees of counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person
                in connection with the defense thereof (other than the
                reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by such
                Indemnified Person) unless (i) the Indemnified Person shall have
                employed separate counsel in accordance with the provision of
                the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that
                Metropolitan shall not be liable for the expenses of more than
                one separate counsel in any one jurisdiction representing the
                Indemnified Person, which counsel shall be approved by
                CRUTTENDEN), (ii) Metropolitan, within a reasonable time after
                notice of commencement of the action, shall not have employed
                counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to
                represent the Indemnified Person, or (iii) Metropolitan shall
                have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the
                Indemnified Person at the expense of Metropolitan, and except
                that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall
                be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i)
                or (iii).

<PAGE>

          (c)   In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
                circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in
                paragraph 7 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any
                reason held by a court to be unavailable from Metropolitan to
                CRUTTENDEN on grounds of policy or otherwise, Metropolitan and
                CRUTTENDEN shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
                damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses
                reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
                defending same) to which Metropolitan and CRUTTENDEN may be
                subject in such proportion so that CRUTTENDEN is responsible for
                that portion represented by the percentage that its fee under
                this Agreement bears to the public offering price appearing on
                the cover page of the Prospectus and Metropolitan is responsible
                for the balance, except as Metropolitan may otherwise agree to
                reallocate a portion of such liability with respect to such
                balance with any other person, including, without limitation,
                any other "Qualified Independent Underwriter"; PROVIDED,
                HOWEVER, that (i) in no case shall CRUTTENDEN be responsible for
                any amount in excess of the fee set forth in paragraph 4 above
                and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within
                the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act shall be entitled to
                contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
                fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of this paragraph
                (c), any person controlling, controlled by or under common
                control with CRUTTENDEN, or any partner, director, officer,
                employee, representative or any agent of any thereof, shall have
                the same rights to contribution as CRUTTENDEN and each person
                who controls Metropolitan within the meaning of Section 15 of
                the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of
                Metropolitan who shall have signed the Registration Statement
                and each director of Metropolitan shall have the same rights to
                contribution as Metropolitan, subject in each case to clause (i)
                of this paragraph (c).  Any party entitled to contribution will,
                promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action,
                suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a
                claim for contribution may be made against the other party under
                this paragraph (c), notify such party from whom contribution may
                be sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not
                relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any
                other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than
                under this paragraph (c).  The indemnity and contribution
                agreements contained in this paragraph 7 shall remain operative
                and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
                made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person or termination of
                this Agreement.

                                   SCHEDULE A


                 Metropolitan Mortgage & Securities Co., Inc.

     The opinion of CRUTTENDEN is conditioned upon Metropolitan's undertaking to
maintain the rates on its Debentures at least equal to an "assumed floor."
Based upon the pricing formula described below:

1.   The interest rate to be paid on the Debentures shall be fixed by
     Metropolitan from time to time.  However, the rate shall not be lower than
     the computation made per the worksheet on Schedule B, which is attached and
     incorporated by reference herein.

2.   The "assumed floor" for 6 to 11 month Debentures shall be at least 1.0%
     above the lesser of the interest rate on the 6 month U.S. Treasury Bills,
     on a discount basis, based upon the auction average (which is published
     widely in newspapers throughout the country, normally on the day following
     the auction) and a composite average of the offering rates on 6 month
     certificates of deposit currently being offered by banks and savings
     institutions in the northwestern section of the United States.  For
     purposes of this composite average of certificate of deposit rates, the
     rates being offered by the following institutions shall be considered
     initially:

     a.  Seattle First National Bank
     b.  Security State Bank
     c.  U.S. Bank of Washington
     d.  Wells Fargo Bank
     e.  Washington Trust Bank
     f.  Washington Mutual Savings Bank

     CRUTTENDEN and Metropolitan agree to review on an ongoing basis the group
     which comprises the composite average, and may substitute another
     institution in the composite group from time-to-time by mutual agreement,
     as the case may be.

3.   The "assumed floor" for 60 to 120 month Debentures shall be computed in
     like manner as that described in paragraph "2" above, except that the
     latest auction average on 5 year U.S. Treasury Notes shall be considered in
     place of the 6 month U.S. Treasury Bills, and 5 year certificates of
     deposit currently offered in the composite group shall be considered in
     lieu of the 6 month rate.

4.   Rates on 12 to 23 month, 24 to 35 month, 36 to 47 month and 48 to 59 month
     Debentures shall be at least equal to the interpolated differences between
     the computation of the "assumed floor" of 6 to 11 month Debentures and 60
     to 120 month Debentures, based upon the computation set forth in Schedule
     B.

5.   Rates on Debentures payable in installments of principal and interest shall
     be no lower than .25% below the "assumed floor" for 60 to 120 month
     Debentures.

6.   The computation of the "assumed floor" shall be made monthly, as of the
     first Tuesday of each month, or at such other times during any month that
     Metropolitan causes the offering rates to change from those in effect on
     the first Tuesday of each month ("the computation date").  Metropolitan
     agrees to furnish CRUTTENDEN with a computation of the "assumed floor" by
     completing the worksheet on Schedule B.  Should the offering rates at that
     time on Metropolitan's Debentures be less than the "assumed floor" as
     computed, Metropolitan agrees to raise the rates on its Debentures to at
     least the "assumed floor" within 10 calendar days of the computation date.
     Should Metropolitan fail to raise its offering rates within the 10 day
     period referred to above, CRUTTENDEN reserves the right, in its
     uncontrolled discretion, to withdraw its opinion regarding the offering
     rates on the Debentures.

                     FORM OF PRICING RECOMMENDATION LETTER

Re:  Pricing of Metropolitan Mortgage & Securities Co., Inc., Offering of
     $100,000,000 in Principal Amount of Investment Debentures, Series III

Dear Mr. Sandifur:

     This letter will serve to confirm our engagement as a "qualified
independent underwriter" as that term is defined in subparagraph (b)(15) of Rule
2720 to the NASD bylaws, as amended ("Rule 2720").

     Based upon our review of the registration statement, and the performance of
"due diligence" as required in subparagraph (c)(3) to Rule 2720, it appears that
the yields on the Investment Debentures, Series III (which are based upon the
computation set forth in Schedules A and B to the Agreement to Act as "Qualified
Independent Underwriter" dated January __, 1999 which is filed as Exhibit 1(b)
to the registration statement), are no lower than those which we would
recommend.

     We hereby consent to the use of our name as a "qualified independent
underwriter," in the Registration Statement filed by Metropolitan Mortgage &
Securities Co., Inc. with respect to the above-referenced matter.

                              Very truly yours,

                              CRUTTENDEN ROTH INCORPORATED

     Re:  Metropolitan Mortgage & Securities Co., Inc.
          Investment Debentures Series III

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Metropolitan Mortgage & Securities Co., Inc.
(the "Company") in connection with the filing of a registration statement to
which this opinion is filed as an exhibit on Form S-2, under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act").  The registration statement covers a proposed
offering by the Company of up to $100,000,000 principal amount of Investment
Debentures, Series III (the "Debentures").  Such registration statement, as
amended, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
at the time such registration statement becomes effective (including financial
statements and schedules, exhibits and all other documents filed as a part
thereof or incorporated therein) are herein referred to as the "Registration
Statement."

     In connection with this opinion, we have made such investigations and
examined such records, including the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws and corporate minutes as we deemed necessary to the performance of our
services and to give this opinion.  We have also examined and are familiar with
the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction,
of such other documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have
deemed necessary for the preparation of this opinion.  In expressing this
opinion, we have relied, as to any questions of fact upon which our opinion is
predicated, upon representations and certificates of the officers of the
Company.

     In giving this opinion we assumed:


       (a) the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity and
     completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals;

       (b) the conformity to originals and the authenticity of all documents
     supplied to us as certified, photocopied, conformed or facsimile copies and
     the authenticity and completeness of the originals of any such documents;
     and

       (c) the proper, genuine and due execution and delivery of all documents
     by all parties to them and that there has been no breach of the terms
     thereof.

     Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth above,
and assuming (i) that the Registration Statement has become effective under the
Act, (ii) that all required actions are taken and conditions satisfied

with respect to the issuance of the Company's Debentures as specified in the
prospectus and (iii) consideration is received for the Debentures:  we are of
the opinion that, when issued, the Debentures will be binding obligations of the
Company.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and the use of our name in the Registration Statement.  In giving such
consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and
Regulations of the Commission promulgated pursuant thereto.

                                      Very truly yours,

                            ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

                     U.S. BANK TRUST NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

     For the purpose of organizing an association to perform any lawful
activities of national banks, the undersigned do enter into the following
Articles of Association:

     FIRST.  The title of the Association shall be "U.S. Bank Trust National
Association."

     SECOND.  The main office of this Association shall be in the City of
Seattle, County of King, State of Washington.  The business of this Association
will be limited to that of a national trust bank, and to support activities
incidental thereto.  This Association will not amend these Articles of
Association to expand the scope of or alter its business beyond that stated in
the Article Second without the prior approval of the Comptroller of the
Currency.  Prior to the transfer of any stock of the Association, the
Association will seek the prior approval of the appropriate federal depository
institution regulatory agency.

     THIRD.  The board of directors of the Association shall consist of not less
than five nor more than twenty-five persons, the exact number to be fixed and
from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full board of directors or
by resolution of a majority of the shareholders at any annual or special meeting
thereof.  Each director shall own common or preferred stock of this Association
with an aggregate par, fair market, or equity value of not less than $1,000.00
as of either (i) the date of purchase, or (ii) the date the person became a
director, whichever is more recent.  Any combination of common or preferred
stock of this Association or U.S. Bancorp may be used.

     Any vacancy in the board of directors may be filled by action of a majority
of the remaining directors between meetings of shareholders.  The board of
directors may not increase the number of directors between meetings of
shareholders to a number that (1) exceeds by more than two the number of
directors last elected by shareholders where the number was fifteen or less, and
(2) exceeds by more than four the number of directors last elected by
shareholders where the number was sixteen or more, but in no event shall the
number of directors exceed twenty-five.

     Terms of directors, including directors, selected to fill vacancies, shall
expire at the next regular meeting of shareholders at which directors are
elected, unless the directors resign or are removed from office.

     Despite the expiration of director's term the director shall continue to
serve until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until there is a
decrease in the number of directors and his or her position is eliminated.

     Honorary or advisory members of the board of directors, without voting
power or power of final decision in matters concerning the business of this
Association, may be appointed by resolution of a majority of the full board of
directors, or by resolution of shareholders at any annual or special meeting.
Honorary or advisory directors shall not be counted for purposes of determining
the number of directors of this Association or the presence of a quorum in
connection with any board action, and shall not be required to own qualifying
shares.

     FOURTH.  There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders to elect
directors and transact whatever other business may be brought before the
meeting.  It shall be held at the main office or any other convenient place the
board of directors may designate, on the day of each year specified therefor in
the bylaws, or if that day falls on a legal holiday in the State in which this
Association is located, on the next following banking day.  If no election is
held on the day fixed, or in event of a legal holiday, an election may be held
on any subsequent day within sixty days of the day fixed, to be designated by
the board of directors, or, if the directors fail to fix the day, by
shareholders representing two-thirds of the shares issued and outstanding.  In
all cases at least ten-days advance notice of the meeting shall be given to the
shareholders by first class mail.

     A director may resign at any time by delivering written or oral notice to
the board of directors, its chairperson, or to this Association, which
resignation shall be effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice
specifies a later effective date.

     A director may be removed by shareholders at a meeting called to remove him
or her, when notice of the meeting stating that the purpose or one of the
purposes is to remove him or her is provided, if there is a failure to fulfill
one of the affirmative requirements for qualification, or for cause; provided,
                                                                     ---------

10,000 shares of common stock of the par value of one-hundred dollars ($100.00)
each; but said capital stock may be increased or decreased from time to time,
according to the provisions of the laws of the United States.

nor any right of subscription to any thereof other than such, if any, as the

of this Association and one of its members chairperson of the board.  The board
of directors shall also have the power to appoint one or more vice presidents, a

States, or waived by shareholders, a notice of the time, place, and purpose of

class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at least ten, and no more than sixty, days
prior to the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record at his/her

     TWELFTH.  (a) Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than any action
by or in the right of the Association) by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Association, or is or was serving at
the request of the Association as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation,  partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
shall be indemnified by the Association, unless similar indemnification is
provided by such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise (any funds received by any person as a result of the provisions of
this Article being deemed an advance against his receipt of any such other
indemnification from any such other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise), against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interest of the Association, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
                                                ---- ----------       
equivalent, shall not, of itself,

                                  Page 5 of 8

March 30, 1998
<PAGE>
 
create a presumption that the person seeking indemnification did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interest of the Association, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

     (b) Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
Association to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Association, or
is or was serving at the request of the Association as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall
be indemnified by the Association, unless similar indemnification is provided by
such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
(any funds received by any person as a result of the provisions of this Article
being deemed an advance against his receipt of any such other indemnification
from any such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise), against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Association and except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Association
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnify for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.

     (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Association has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified by the
Association against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith.

     (d) Except as set forth in paragraph (c) of this Article, any
indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Article (unless ordered by
the court), shall be made by the Association only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer,
employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
Article.  Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the
directors who are

                                  Page 6 of 8

March 30, 1998

<PAGE>
 
not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum,
or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

     (e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director
in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit
or proceeding may be paid by the Association in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on
behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Association.
Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents
may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors
deems appropriate.

     (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this
Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or seeking advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-
law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,
both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office.

     (g) By action of the Board of Directors, notwithstanding any interest of
the directors in the action, the Association may purchase and maintain
insurance, in such amounts as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Association, or is or was serving at the request of the Association as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the Association shall have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under the provisions of this Article.

     (h) For purpose of this Article, references to "the Association" shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or
merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under
this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation

                                  Page 7 of 8

March 30, 1998
<PAGE>
 
as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued.

     (i) For purposes of this Article, references to "other enterprises" shall
include employee benefit plans; reference to "fines" shall include any excise
taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the Association" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Association which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or
agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or
beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not
opposed to the best interests of the Association" as referred to in this
Article.

     (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses hereby provided shall,
unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

     THIRTEENTH.  These Articles of Association may be amended at any regular or
special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the stock of this Association, unless the vote of the holders of a
greater amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the
holders of such greater amount.  This Association's board of directors may
propose one or more amendments to these Articles of Association for submission
to the shareholders.

Secretary
U.S. Bank Trust National Association
601 Union Street
Seattle, Washington  98191

Dear Mr. Hoffman:

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has received your letter
concerning the title change and the appropriate amendment to the Articles of
Association.  The OCC has recorded that as of March 30, 1998, the title of First
Trust National Association, Seattle, Washington, Charter No.  23133, was changed
to "U.S. Bank Trust National Association."

As a result of Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982, the OCC is
no longer responsible for the approval of national bank name changes nor does it
maintain official records on the use of alternate titles.  The use of other
titles or the retention of the rights to any previously used title is the
responsibility of the bank's board of directors.  Legal counsel should be
consulted to determine whether or not the new title, or any previously used
title, could be challenged by competing institutions under the provisions of
federal or state law.

Sincerely,

/s/ Judith A. Bollig

Schedule RC-R - Regulatory Capital

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows: Banks that reported
total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC, item 12, for June 30, 1997,
must complete items 2 through 9 and Memoranda items 1 and 2.  Banks with assets
of less than $1 billion must complete items 1 through 3 below or Schedule RC-R
in its entirety, depending on their response to item 1 below.
                                                                            C280

1.  Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed.  To          RCON     YES     NO
    be completed only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion.  Indicate in     ----     ---     -- 
    the appropriate box at the right whether the bank has total capital greater than       6056     X           1.
    or equal to eight percent of adjusted total assets
 
        For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S.
    Government agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the
    allowance for loan and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see
    instructions).
        If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete items 2 and 3 below.  If the box
    marked NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder of this schedule.
        A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based capital ratio is less than
    eight percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

Legal Title of Bank                       City                 State
 
The management of the reporting bank may, if it wishes, submit a brief narrative
statement on the amounts reported in the Reports of Condition and Income. This
optional statement will be made available to the public, along with the publicly
available data in the Reports of Condition and Income, in response to any
request for individual bank report data. However, the information reported in
column A and in all of Memorandum item 1 of Schedule RC-N is regarded as
confidential and will not be released to the public. BANKS CHOOSING TO SUBMIT
THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE
NAMES OR OTHER IDENTIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BANK CUSTOMERS, REFERENCES TO THE
AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL ITEMS IN SCHEDULE RC-N, OR ANY OTHER
INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HAVE MADE PUBLIC OR THAT WOULD
COMPROMISE THE PRIVACY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. Banks choosing not to make a
statement may check the "No comment" box below and should make no entries of any
kind in the space provided for the narrative statement; i.e., DO NOT enter in
this space such phrases as "No statement," "Not applicable," "N/A," "No
comment," and "None."

The optional statement must be entered on this sheet. The statement should not
exceed 100 words. Further, regardless of the number of words, the statement must
not exceed 750 characters, including punctuation, indentation, and standard
spacing between words and sentences. If any submission should exceed 750
characters, as defined, it will be truncated at 750 characters with no notice to
the submitting bank and the truncated statement will appear as the bank's
statement both on agency computerized records and in computer-file releases to
the public. 

All information furnished by the bank in the narrative statement must be
accurate and not misleading. Appropriate efforts shall be taken by the
submitting bank to ensure the statement's accuracy. The statement must be
signed, in the space provided below, by a senior officer of the bank who thereby
attests to its accuracy.

If, subsequent to the original submission, material changes are submitted for
the data reported in the Reports of Condition and Income, the existing narrative
statement will be deleted from the files, and from disclosure; the bank, at its
option, may replace it with a statement, under signature, appropriate to the
amended data.

The optional narrative statement will appear in agency records and in release to
the public exactly as submitted (or amended as described in the preceding
paragraph) by the management of the bank (except for the truncation of
statements exceeding the 750-character limit described above). THE STATEMENT
WILL NOT BE EDITED OR SCREENED IN ANY WAY BY THE SUPERVISORY AGENCIES FOR
ACCURACY OR RELEVANCE. DISCLOSURE OF THE STATEMENT SHALL NOT SIGNIFY THAT ANY
FEDERAL SUPERVISORY AGENCY HAS VERIFIED OR CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN. A STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT WILL APPEAR ON ANY
PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE OPTIONAL STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
REPORTING BANK.
