Indemnification of Directors and Officers (Item 15 of
Form S-3).

Any underwriters who execute an Underwriting
Agreement in the form filed as Exhibit 1.1 or Exhibit 1.2
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.

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.

In addition, the Pooling and Servicing Agreements,
if applicable, will provide that no director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant is liable to the
Trust Fund or the Securityholders, except for such
person's own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence in the performance of duties or reckless
disregard of obligations and duties.  The Pooling and
Servicing Agreements, if applicable, 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 Securities
other than such expenses related to particular Mortgage
Loans.

Certain controlling persons of the Registrant may
also be entitled to indemnification from General Motors
Acceptance Corporation, an indirect parent of the
Registrant.  Under sections 7015 and 7018-7023 of the New
York Banking Law, General Motors Acceptance Corporation
may or shall, subject to various exceptions and
limitation, indemnify its directors or officers and may
purchase and maintain insurance as follows:

(a)  If the director is made or threatened to
be made a party to an action by or in the right of
General Motors Acceptance Corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of
General Motors Acceptance Corporation or is or was
servicing at the request of General Motors
Acceptance Corporation as a director or officer of
some other enterprise, General Motors Acceptance
Corporation may indemnify such person against
amounts paid in settlement of such action or an
appeal therein, if such director or officer acted,
in good faith, for a purpose which such person
reasonably believed to be in (or, in the case of
service for any other enterprise, not opposed to)
the best interests of general Motors Acceptance
Corporation, except that no indemnification is
available under such statutory provisions in
respect of a threatened action or a pending action
which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or any
claim or issue or matter as to which such person is
found liable to General Motors Acceptance
Corporation, unless in each such case a court
determined that such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amount as
the court deems proper.

(b)  With respect to any action or proceeding
other than one by or in the right of General Motors
Acceptance Corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor, if a director or officer is made or
threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact
that such person was a director or officer of
General Motors Acceptance Corporation, or served
some other enterprise at the request of General
Motors Acceptance Corporation, General Motors
Acceptance Corporation may indemnify such person
against judgments, fines, amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses, including
attorneys' fees, incurred as a result of such
action or proceeding or an appeal therein, if such
person acted in good faith for a purpose which such
person reasonably believed to be in (or, in the
case of service for any other enterprise, not
opposed to) the best interests of General Motors
Acceptance Corporation and, in criminal actions or
proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause
to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.

(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.

(d)  General Motors Acceptance Corporation may
purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify
directors and officers in instances in which they
may not otherwise be indemnified by General Motors
Acceptance Corporation under the provisions of the
New York Banking Law, provided hat the contract of
insurance provides for a retention amount and for
co-insurance, except that no such insurance may
provide for any payment, other than cost of
defense, to or on behalf of any director or officer
if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse
to such director or officer establishes that such
person's acts of active and deliberate dishonesty
were material to the cause of action so adjudicated
or that such person personally gained in fact a
financial profit or other advantage to which such
person was not legally entitled.

The foregoing statement is subject to the detailed
provisions of sections 7015 and 7018-7023 of the New York
Banking Law.

                    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 New York Banking 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 Banking 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).

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 this 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;

provided however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference 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.

(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) 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.

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 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.


SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable
grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of
Minneapolis, State of Minnesota, on December 13, 1995.
