the Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
any certificates or opinions furnished to the Capital Securities Guarantee
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Capital Securities
Guarantee; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Capital
Securities Guarantee Trustee, the Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
the requirements of this Capital Securities Guarantee;





                                                                              
7





(ii)        the

provision of this Capital Securities Guarantee shall require the Capital
Securities Guarantee Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur

Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee, against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.


SECTION 3.2

(a)        Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.1:

indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to

direction or act of the Guarantor contemplated by this Capital Securities

and conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate which, upon receipt of such
request, shall be promptly delivered by the Guarantor.


(iv)       The
Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee shall have no duty to see to any
recording, filing or registration of any instrument (or any rerecording,
refiling or re-registration thereof).

provided to the Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee such security and
indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee,
against the costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses and the
expenses of the Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee's agents, nominees or

request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be requested by

Guarantee Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its
obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Capital
Securities Guarantee.

Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,

document, but the Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee, in its discretion, may

evidenced by the Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee's or its agent's taking

protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all
other notices and demands.

The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the
Guarantor under this Capital Securities Guarantee shall in no way be affected
or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of any of the

relating to the Capital Securities to be performed or observed by the Issuer;

time for the payment by the Issuer of all or any portion of the Distributions,
Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution or any other sums payable under the
terms of the Capital Securities or the extension of time for the performance of
any other obligation under, arising out of, or in connection with, the Capital
Securities (other than an extension of time for payment of Distributions, Redemption
Price, Liquidation Distribution or other sum payable that results from the
extension of any interest payment period on the Notes);


(c)        any failure,
omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the Holders to enforce,
assert or exercise any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on the

required in connection with the Capital Securities;


(g)        the settlement or
compromise of any obligation guaranteed hereby or hereby incurred; or

circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
discharge or defense of a guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 5.3

unconditional under any and all circumstances.


There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give
notice to, or obtain consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the happening of
any of the foregoing.


SECTION 5.4  
Rights of Holders.  


(a)        The
Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities have the right to

Capital Securities Guarantee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Capital Securities Guarantee Trustee under this Capital Securities

(b)        If the Capital
Securities Guarantee Trustee fails to enforce such Capital Securities

instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer, the Capital Securities

right or remedy to require that any action be brought first against the Issuer
or any other person or entity before proceeding directly against the Guarantor.

payment and not of collection.

mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any right that
it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other
agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this Capital Securities
Guarantee, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid
under this Capital Securities Guarantee.  If any amount shall be paid to the
Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold
such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay over such amount to the
Holders.

SECTION 5.7  
Independent Obligations.

hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the
Capital Securities, and that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as
debtor hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this
Capital Securities Guarantee notwithstanding the occurrence of any event
referred to in subsections (a) through (h), inclusive, of Section 5.3 hereof.

unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and will rank (i) subordinate and junior
in right of payment to all other liabilities, including contingent liabilities,
of the Guarantor, (ii) pari passu with the most senior preferred or preference
stock now or hereafter issued by the Guarantor and with any guarantee now or
hereafter entered into by the Guarantor in respect of any preferred securities
(including trust preferred securities) or preference stock of any Affiliate of
