             occurrence of certain events.                                                                        
                    B.  Structure and Funding of ASA                                                              
                    On April 18, 1990, AlliedSignal formed AlliedSignal                                           
             Investment Corp. (ASIC), a wholly owned subsidiary.  On the same                                     
             day, Barber Corp. N.V. (Barber) and Dominguito Corp. N.V.                                            
             (Dominguito) were formed.  Each corporation was owned by two                                         
             Netherlands Antilles foundations controlled by ABN Trust:  Barber                                    
             was owned by the Demian Foundation and the Freya Foundation,                                         
             while Dominguito was owned by the Aida Foundation and the Carmen                                     
             Foundation.  Each foundation contributed $3,000 to its                                               
             corporation in exchange for 3,000 shares with a par value of $1                                      
             per share.  Thus, Barber and Dominguito were each capitalized                                        
             with $6,000.                                                                                         
                    Barber, Dominguito, and ABN entered into revolving credit                                     
             agreements that provided for Barber and Dominguito to pay ABN                                        
             interest of LIBOR plus 30 b.p. on the loans.  These loans would                                      
             be secured by the stock held by the foundations and, thus,                                           
             indirectly by Barber's and Dominguito's partnership interests.                                       
             Barber, Dominguito, and ABN also entered into subordinated loan                                      
             agreements that provided for interest-free loans from ABN to                                         
             Barber and Dominguito.  In addition, each foundation granted ABN                                     
             an irrevocable option to acquire, at par value, the shares of the                                    
             respective corporation that each foundation owned.
