     GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT.     This Guarantee creates a guarantee of payment and
not  of  collection.

<PAGE>
     SUBROGATION.     The  Guarantor  shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights
of  the  Holders  of  Capital  Securities  against  the Issuer in respect of any
amounts  paid  to  such Holders by the Guarantor under this Guarantee; provided,
                                                                       --------
however,  that  the  Guarantor  shall  not  (except  to  the  extent required by
-------
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 Guarantee, if, after
giving  effect  to  any  such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this
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.

     INDEPENDENT  OBLIGATIONS.     The  Guarantor  acknowledges  that  its
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 Guarantee notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to
in  subsections  (a)  through  (g),  inclusive,  of  Section  4.3  hereof.
     ENFORCEMENT BY A BENEFICIARY.     A Beneficiary may enforce the obligations
of  the Guarantor contained in Section 4.1(b) directly against the Guarantor and
the  Guarantor  waives any right or remedy to require that any action be brought
against  the  Issuer or any other person or entity before proceeding against the
Guarantor.  The  Guarantor  shall  be  subrogated  to all rights (if any) of any
Beneficiary  against  the  Issuer  in  respect  of  any  amounts  paid  to  the
Beneficiaries by the Guarantor under this Guarantee; provided, however, that the
                                                     --------  -------
Guarantor  shall  not  (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of
law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights 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 Guarantee, if at the time of any such payment,
and  after  giving  effect to such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under
this  Guarantee.

                    LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION

     LIMITATION  OF  TRANSACTIONS.     So  long as any Capital Securities remain
outstanding,  if  (a)  there  shall  have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default  or  a  Declaration  Event  of  Default  or (b) the Guarantor shall have
selected  an Extension Period as provided in the Declaration and such period, or
any  extension  thereof,  shall  have  commenced  and  be  continuing,  then the
Guarantor shall not and shall not permit any Affiliate to (x) declare or pay any
dividends  or  distributions  on,  or  redeem,  purchase,  acquire,  or  make  a
liquidation  payment with respect to, any of the Guarantor's or such Affiliate's
capital  stock  (other  than  payments  of  dividends  or  distributions  to the
Guarantor)  or  make any guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing or (y)
make  any  payment  of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase  or redeem any debt securities of the Guarantor or any Affiliate that
rank  pari  passu  in  all respects with or junior in interest to the Debentures
(other  than,  with  respect  to  clauses  (x)  and  (y) above, (i) repurchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Guarantor in
connection  with  any  employment  contract,  benefit  plan  or  other  similar
arrangement  with  or  for  the  benefit  of  one  or  more employees, officers,
directors  or  consultants,  in  connection  with  a  dividend  reinvestment  or
stockholder  stock  purchase  plan or in connection with the issuance of capital
stock  of  the Guarantor (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such
capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior
to  the  occurrence  of  the  Event  of Default, Declaration Event of Default or
Extension  Period, as applicable, (ii) as a result of any exchange or conversion
of  any  class  or series of the Guarantor's capital stock (or any capital stock

                                      198
<PAGE>
of  a  subsidiary  of  the Guarantor) for any class or series of the Guarantor's
capital  stock or of any class or series of the Guarantor's indebtedness for any
class  or  series  of  the  Guarantor's  capital  stock,  (iii)  the purchase of
fractional  interests in shares of the Guarantor's capital stock pursuant to the
conversion  or  exchange  provisions of such capital stock or the security being
converted  or  exchanged,  (iv) any declaration of a dividend in connection with
any  stockholders'  rights  plan,  or  the  issuance  of  rights, stock or other
property under any stockholders' rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of
rights  pursuant  thereto,  (v)  any  dividend  in  the form of stock, warrants,
options  or  other  rights  where  the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon
exercise  of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on
which  the  dividend  is  being  paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such
stock  and  any  cash payments in lieu of fractional shares issued in connection
therewith,  or  (vi)  payments  under  this  Guarantee).

     RANKING.     This  Guarantee will constitute an unsecured obligation of the
Guarantor  and  will  rank  subordinate  and  junior  in right of payment to all
present  and  future  Senior  Indebtedness  (as defined in the Indenture) of the
Guarantor.  By  their  acceptance  thereof,  each  Holder  of Capital Securities
agrees  to  the  foregoing  provisions of this Guarantee and the other terms set
forth  herein.

     The  right of the Guarantor to participate in any distribution of assets of
any of its subsidiaries upon any such subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization
or  otherwise  is  subject  to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary,
except  to  the  extent  the Guarantor may itself be recognized as a creditor of
that  subsidiary.  Accordingly, the Guarantor's obligations under this Guarantee
will  be  effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of the
Guarantor's  subsidiaries,  and  claimants should look only to the assets of the
Guarantor  for payments hereunder.  This Guarantee does not limit the incurrence
or  issuance  of  other  secured  or  unsecured debt of the Guarantor, including
Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor, under any indenture that the Guarantor may
enter  into  in  the  future  or  otherwise.

                                   TERMINATION

     TERMINATION.     This  Guarantee  shall  terminate  as  to  the  Capital
Securities  (i)  upon full payment of the Redemption Price or Special Redemption
Price  of all Capital Securities then outstanding, (ii) upon the distribution of
all  of  the Debentures to the Holders of all of the Capital Securities or (iii)
upon full payment of the amounts payable in accordance with the Declaration upon
dissolution of the Issuer.  This Guarantee will continue to be effective or will
be  reinstated,  as  the  case  may  be,  if  at  any time any Holder of Capital
Securities must restore payment of any sums paid under the Capital Securities or
under  this  Guarantee.
