Chicago, IL  60606
Attn: Barbara A. Pflender

                  1.  In  consideration  of your  carrying  accounts  with,  and
entering into foreign exchange transactions with and/or through, our subsidiary,
CIS  Financial  Services,  Inc. (the  "Subsidiary")  for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,  effective as of the
date of this guarantee,  Cargill,  Incorporated (the  "Guarantor"),  does hereby
unconditionally  guarantee that it will make to you (the "Counterparty") any due
but unpaid  payments within ten (10) New York business days after receipt of the
Counterparty's written demand upon the Subsidiary and the Guarantor,  unless the
Counterparty shall otherwise agree in writing.  All reference herein to "you" or
the  "Counterparty"  are  references  to you and your  successors  and permitted
assigns.  However,  in no event  shall  the  Guarantor's  liability  under  this
guarantee exceed the maximum  aggregate  amount of U.S.  $1,000,000 (One Million
United  States  Dollars),  plus  accrued  interest and the  reasonable  costs of
enforcing the  obligations  of the  Guarantor  hereunder,  including  reasonable
attorneys' fees.

                  2. If any obligation of the Subsidiary for which the Guarantor
shall  become  responsible  pursuant  to this  guarantee  shall be  payable in a
currency other than U.S. Dollars, and in a place other than the United States of
America,  the  Guarantor  shall have the right to discharge  such  obligation by
payment to the Counterparty of U.S. Dollars.  Such payment shall be in an amount
converted  into U.S.  Dollars at the spot rate of  exchange  quoted by The Chase
Manhattan Bank, New York in the New York interbank market at 11:00 a.m. New York
time on the day of payment for the sale by the Guarantor of U.S. Dollars against
a purchase by the Guarantor of the currency of the obligation.

                  3. The Guarantor  further agrees that all payments made by the
Subsidiary to the  Counterparty on any obligation  hereby  guaranteed will, when
made, be final and agrees that if any such payment is recovered  from, or repaid
by, the Counterparty in whole or in part as a result of any final court order in
any bankruptcy,  insolvency,  or similar proceeding instituted by or against the
Subsidiary,  or if any such payment is  rescinded  or  otherwise  required to be
restored by any final court order,  this  guarantee  shall  continue to be fully
applicable  to such  obligation  to the same  extent as though  the  payment  so
recovered or repaid had never been originally made on such obligation.  However,
after  taking  into  account  any  such   recovery  from  or  repayment  by  the
Counterparty,  or any such  rescission  or  restoration,  in no event  shall the
guarantee  be  interpreted  to allow the  Counterparty  to recover more from the
Guarantor,  the Subsidiary,  through any combination of the payments from either
or both such parties, than the Subsidiary's total outstanding obligations hereby
guaranteed,  plus accrued  interest and the  reasonable  costs of enforcement as
provided in paragraph 1 hereinabove.

                  4. All sums payable by the Guarantor  hereunder  shall be made
in freely  transferable,  cleared,  and immediately  available funds without any
set-off,   deduction,  or  withholding  (unless  such  set-off,   deduction,  or
withholding  is required  by an  applicable  law,  judicial,  or  administration
decision,  or  practice  of  any  relevant  governmental  authority,  or by  any
combination  thereof)  to such  account as the  Counterparty  shall  indicate in
writing to the Guarantor. If the Guarantor is so required to set-off, deduct, or
withhold,  then the Guarantor shall pay to the Counterparty,  in addition to the
payment to which the Counterparty is otherwise entitled,  such additional amount
as is  necessary  to  ensure  that  the  net  amount  actually  received  by the
Counterparty  (free and clear of any set-off,  deduction,  or withholding)  will
equal the full amount  which the  Counterparty  would have  received had no such
set-off, deduction, or withholding been required.

                  5. The  Guarantor  hereby  waives (i)  promptness,  diligence,
presentment,  demand of payment (except as specified herein),  protest, or order
and (ii) any requirements  that the  Counterparty  exhaust any right or take any
action against the Subsidiary  (except as specified  herein) or any other person
or  entity  before  proceeding  to  exercise  any right or  remedy  against  the
Guarantor.

                  6. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this
guarantee shall be unconditional,  irrespective of the validity,  regularity, or
enforceability of the obligations with respect to the Subsidiary, the absence of
any action to enforce the  Subsidiary's  obligations  , any waiver or consent by
the  Counterparty  with  respect  to  any  provisions   thereof,  or  any  other
circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense of the  Guarantor,  except  payment.  This  guarantee  is a guarantee of
payment and not a guarantee of collection.

                  7. No amendment or waiver of any  provision of this  guarantee
nor consent to any  departure by the Guarantor  therefrom  shall in any event be
effective  unless the same shall be in writing  and signed by the  Counterparty,
and then such  amendment,  waiver or departure  shall be  effective  only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

                  8. No failure on the Counterparty's  part to exercise,  and no
delay in exercising any right hereunder,  shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial  exercise of any right hereunder  preclude any other
or further  exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other  right.  The remedies
herein  provided are  cumulative  and not exclusive of any remedies  provided by
law.

                  9.  This  guarantee  constitutes  a  direct,   unsecured,  and
unsubordinated  obligation  of the  Guarantor,  ranking  equally  with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantor.

                  10.   The   Guarantor   shall   be   subrogated   to  all  the
Counterparty's rights against the Subsidiary with respect to any amounts paid by
the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this guarantee;  provided,  however,
that the  Guarantor  shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments
arising out of, or based upon,  such right of subrogation  until all amounts due
and payable by the Subsidiary shall have been paid in full.

                  11. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that (i) this
guarantee constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor,
enforceable  against  the  Guarantor  in  accordance  with its terms,  except as
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium,  or  other  similar  laws or  equitable  principles  relating  to or
limiting  creditor's rights  generally;  and (ii) the execution,  delivery,  and
performance of this guarantee will not violate any provision of any existing law
or  regulation  binding on the  Guarantor,  the  violation of which would have a
material  adverse  effect on the  business,  operations,  assets,  or  financial
condition of the Guarantor.

                  12. This  guarantee  shall  expire on March 21, 2000 or may be
terminated  by  the  Guarantor  at  any  time  by  the  Guarantor   sending  the
Counterparty a written notice of such termination by courier or facsimile,  such
written notice to be effective three (3) New York business days after receipt by
the  Counterparty;   however,  this  guarantee  and  the  Guarantor's  liability
hereunder  shall  survive and  continue in full force and effect with respect to
any  obligation of the  Subsidiary  arising in connection  with any  transaction
entered into, or committed to, between the Counterparty and the Subsidiary prior
to the effective  date of such  expiration or  termination,  whether or not such
transaction  has a settlement  date beyond the effective date of such expiration
or termination.

                  13.  All  notices  and   communications  to  the  Counterparty
respective of this guarantee,  including notices of revocation, shall be sent by
