violations of law, for acts or omissions that the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the registrant or its stockholders, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions

The total share reserve for the 2002 Stock Option Plan is 2,221,039 shares. This share reserve includes the number of shares
remaining available for option grants and the number of options outstanding under the 1995 Executive Stock Option Plan, the 1995 Stock Option Plan and the 1998 Stock Option Plan. However, the total number of shares available for grant under the 2002
Stock
Option Plan will, at any time,
be determined by subtracting from 2,221,039 shares that number of options outstanding under the 1995 Executive Stock Option Plan, the 1995 Stock Option Plan, the 1998 Stock Option Plan and the 2002 Stock Option Plan.
4
Estimated pursuant to Rule 457 solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee. As to the shares under the 2002 Stock Option Plan and the Deferred
Compensation Plan, the price is based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock on February 28, 2003, as reported on the NASDAQ National Market. The 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan establishes a purchase price equal to 85% of
the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock, and, therefore, the price for shares under this plan is based upon 85% of the average of the high and low prices of the Common Stock on February 28, 2003, as reported on the NASDAQ National
Market.

Estimated pursuant to Rule 457 solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee based upon the weighted average price of the outstanding options as of

Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co. (the "Company") hereby incorporates by reference in this registration statement the following documents:

"Registration Statement"), filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to the Company's initial public offering of its Common Stock.
(b) The Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A

Item 4.
Description of Securities
The class of securities to be offered is registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Inapplicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the registrant has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
The Company's Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws include provisions to (i) eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty to the extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware law and (ii)
require the registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware law, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware
law, a corporation generally has the
II-1
power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses
incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. The registrant believes that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified
persons as directors and officers. These provisions do not eliminate the directors' duty of care, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under
Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the registrant, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing
violations of law, for acts or omissions that the director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the registrant or its stockholders, for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, for acts or omissions
involving a reckless disregard for the director's duty to the registrant or its stockholders when the director was aware or should have been aware of a risk of serious injury to the registrant or its stockholders, for acts or omissions that
constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the registrant or its stockholders, for improper transactions between the director and the registrant and for improper distributions to
stockholders and loans to directors and officers. The provision also does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities law or state or federal environmental laws.
The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of
its directors and executive officers and certain senior managers that require the registrant to indemnify such persons against all expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in
connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or an executive officer of the registrant or any of its affiliated enterprises,
provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.
The Company currently has a policy providing directors and officers liability insurance with insured directors and officers of the Company
in certain circumstances. The policy also insures the Company against losses as to which its directors and officers are entitles to indemnification.
Item 7.

Item 9.
Undertakings
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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(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 disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (l)(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 by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, 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.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under 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.
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 Securities and Exchange
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
II-3
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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
