Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware
empowers a corporation to indemnify 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 an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, employee or agent of the corporation or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another 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 him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding 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
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify 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
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, 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 corporation and except that no indemnification may be made
in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine that despite the adjudication of liability such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem
proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director, officer,
employee or agent of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith; that indemnification or advancement of expenses provided
for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
the indemnified party may be entitled; and empowers the corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in
any such capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under
Section 145.
The By-Laws of the Registrant provide, in effect, that to the extent and
under the circumstances permitted by subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 of
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Registrant (i) shall
indemnify and hold harmless each person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding described in subsections
(a) and (b) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, or
his testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Registrant,
against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, and (ii)
shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any such action, suit or proceeding if such
person is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise.

Certain controlling persons of the Registrant may also be entitled to
indemnification from General Motors Acceptance Corporation, an indirect parent
of the Registrant. Under Section 145, General Motors Acceptance Corporation may
or shall, subject to various exceptions and limitations, indemnify its directors
or officers and may purchase and maintain insurance as follows:
(a) The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of General
Motors Acceptance Corporation provides that no director shall be personally
liable to General Motors Acceptance Corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to General Motors Acceptance
Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174, or any successor provision thereto, of the Delaware Corporation
Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
(b) Under Article VI of its By-Laws, General Motors Acceptance
Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to every director and officer
(and to such person's heirs, executors, administrators or other legal
representatives) in the manner and to the full extent permitted by applicable
law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended, against any and all
amounts (including judgments, fines, payments in settlement, attorneys' fees and
other expenses) reasonably incurred by or on behalf of such person in connection
with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), in which such
director or officer was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is
otherwise involved by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director
or officer of General Motors Acceptance Corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of General Motors Acceptance Corporation, as a director, officer,
employee, fiduciary or member of any other corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, organization or other enterprise. General Motors Acceptance
Corporation shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a
proceeding initiated by such person if the proceeding was not authorized by the
Board of Directors of General Motors Acceptance Corporation. General Motors
Acceptance Corporation shall pay the expenses of directors and officers incurred
in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition ("advancement of
expenses"); provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a
director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall
be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay
all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified under Article VI of the By-Laws or
otherwise. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses by an
officer or director under Article VI of the By-Laws is not paid in full within
ninety days after a written claim therefor has been received by General Motors
Acceptance Corporation, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount
of such claim, and if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to the
requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law. The
rights conferred on any person by Article VI of the By-Laws shall not be
exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire
under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors of General Motors
Acceptance Corporation or otherwise. The obligation, if any, of General Motors
Acceptance Corporation to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its
request as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any
3
<PAGE>
amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.
(c) A director or officer who has been wholly successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding
of the character described in paragraphs (a) or (b) above, shall be entitled to
indemnification as authorized in such paragraphs.
As a subsidiary of General Motors Corporation, General Motors Acceptance
Corporation is insured against liabilities which it may incur by reason of the
foregoing provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and directors and
officers of General Motors Acceptance Corporation are insured against some
liabilities which might arise out of their employment and not be subject to
indemnification under said General Corporation Law.
Pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of General
Motors Corporation, that company to the fullest extent permissible under law
will indemnify, and has purchased insurance on behalf of, directors or officers
of the company, or any of them, who incur or are threatened with personal
liability, including expenses, under Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 or any amendatory or comparable legislation or regulation thereunder.

Undertakings (Item 17 of Form S-3).
The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(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;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this 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 this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, 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; and
(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.
5
<PAGE>
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 person 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.
