INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS (ITEM 15 OF FORM S-3).

         The Pooling and Servicing Agreements will provide that no director,
officer, employee or agent of the Registrant is liable to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders, except for such person's own willful misfeasance, bad faith
or gross negligence in the performance of duties or reckless disregard of
obligations and duties. The Pooling and Servicing Agreements will further
provide that, with the exceptions stated above, a director, officer, employee or
agent of the Registrant is entitled to be indemnified against any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with legal action relating to such
Pooling and Servicing Agreements and related Certificates other than such
expenses related to particular Mortgage Loans.

         Any underwriters who execute an Underwriting Agreement in the form
filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement will agree to indemnify the
Registrant's directors and its officers who signed this Registration Statement
against certain liabilities which might arise under the Securities Act of 1933
from certain information furnished to the Registrant by or on behalf of such
indemnifying party.

         Section 317 of the California Corporations Code allows for the
indemnification of officers, directors and other corporate agents in terms
sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for
liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Article VI of the Registrant's
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (Exhibit 3.1 hereto) and Article
XI of the Registrants Restated Bylaws (Exhibit 3.2 hereto) provide for
indemnification of the Registrant's directors, officers, employees and other
agents to the extent and under the



<PAGE>


                                       -2-


circumstances permitted by the California Corporations Code. The Registrant has
also entered into agreements with its directs and executive officers that would
require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify them against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors to
the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

UNDERTAKINGS (ITEM 17 OF FORM S-3).

A.  UNDERTAKINGS PURSUANT TO RULE 415.

   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 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, and (iii) to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously




<PAGE>


                                       -3-


disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that subparts (i)
and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in the
post-effective amendment by those subparts is contained in periodic reports
filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the 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.

            (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) That, for the 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 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 the 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.

            (f) To provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the
underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in
such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each
purchaser.

B.          UNDERTAKING IN RESPECT OF INDEMNIFICATION.

            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 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
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.
