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 


<PAGE>



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 elating to such Pooling and

                                       -2-

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

                                       -3-

<PAGE>



         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 


                                      -5-


<PAGE>

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.
