ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Sections 545.121 of OTS Regulations (12 C.F.R. ss.ss. 545.121) sets
forth the ability of a federal savings & loan association to indemnify its
officers and directors. This section provides that a savings association shall
indemnify any person against whom an action is brought or threatened because
that person is or was a director, officer or employee of the association for:
(1) any amount for which that person become liable under a judgment; and (2)
reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, paid or
incurred by that person in defending or settling such action, or in enforcing
his or her rights under such section if he or she attains a favorable judgment
in such enforcement action.

         Indemnification shall be made to such individuals if (1) final
judgments on the merits is in the individual's favor; or (2) in case of (i)
settlement; (ii) final judgment against the individual, or (iii) final judgment
in the individual's favor, other than on the merits, if a majority of the
disinterested directors determine that the individual was acting in good faith
within the scope of his or her employment or authority as he or she could have
reasonably perceived it under the circumstances and for a purpose he or she
could reasonably have believed under the circumstances was in the best interests
of the savings association of its members.

         The section also provides that no indemnification may be made unless
the association gives the OTS 60 days notice of its intention to make such
indemnification.

         In addition to providing indemnification, under OTS regulations, a
savings association may obtain insurance to protect it and its officers,
directors and employees from potential losses arising from claims against any of
them for alleged wrongful acts, or wrongful acts, committed in their capacity as
directors, officers or employees. However, the savings association may not
obtain insurance which provides for payment of losses of any person incurred as
a consequence of his or her willful or criminal misconduct.

         Section 545.121 of OTS regulations is subject to and qualified by 12
U.S.C. ss. 1821(k) which provides in general that a director or officer of an
insured depository institution may be held personally liable for monetary
damages by, on behalf of, or at the request or direction of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation in certain circumstances.

ITEM 9.  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
         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 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.

         B.       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"), each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) 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.

         C.       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities 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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.



                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the city of Covina, State of California, on February 25,
2004.
