      additional amounts on the Securities of the series held by a person who is

      to redeem such Securities rather than pay such additional amounts;

            (16) if the Securities of such series are to be issuable in
      definitive form (whether upon original issue or upon exchange of a

            (19) whether the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole
      or in part in the form of a Global Security or Securities; the terms and

SECTION 2.4 Authentication and Delivery of Securities.

<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

(contained in the Issuer Order referred to below in this Section), or pursuant
to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee and to such recipients as may be
specified from time to time by an Issuer Order. The maturity date, original
issue date, interest rate and any other terms of the Securities of such series
shall be determined by or pursuant to such Issuer Order and procedures. If
provided for in such procedures, such Issuer Order may authorize authentication
and delivery pursuant to oral instructions from the Issuer or its duly
authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. In
authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in
relying upon:

            (1) an Issuer Order requesting such authentication and setting forth
      delivery instructions if the Securities are not to be delivered to the
      Issuer;

            (2) any Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate and/or executed
      supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 by or pursuant
      to which the forms and terms of the Securities were established;

            (3) an Officers' Certificate setting forth the form or forms and
      terms of the Securities stating that the form or forms and terms of the
      Securities have been established pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 and
      comply with this Indenture, and covering such other matters as the Trustee
      may reasonably request; and

            (4) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

                   (a) the form or forms of the Securities have been duly
            authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this
            Indenture;

                  (b) the terms of the Securities have been duly authorized and
            established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, or
            if the terms of such Securities are to be established from time to
            time, that the procedures for determining the terms of such
            Securities have been duly authorized and established in conformity
            with the provisions of the Indenture;

                  (c) the authentication and delivery of such Securities by the
            Trustee are authorized under the provisions of this indenture;

                  (d) such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
            Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any
            conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute
            valid and binding obligations of the Issuer,

                  (e) all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and
            delivery by the Issuer of the Securities have been complied with,
            and

                  (f) covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably
            request.
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

      The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver
any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Issuer or if the
Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or board of trustees, executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible Officers
shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability
to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities, this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 2.5 Execution of Securities.

      The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Issuer by the chairman of
its Board of Directors or any vice chairman of its Board of Directors or its
president or any vice president or its treasurer, under its corporate seal which
may, but need not, be attested. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile
signatures of the present or any future such officers. The seal of the Issuer
may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed,
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other
minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such
signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that
has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

      In case any officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the
Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such
Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as
though the person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of
the Issuer; and any Security may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such
persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, shall be the
proper officers of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and
delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

SECTION 2.6 Certificate of Authentication.

      Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee by the
manual signature of one of its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such
certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Issuer shall be
conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.7 Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest.

      The Securities of each series shall be issuable in denominations
established as contemplated by Section 2.3 or, if not so established, in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The Securities of
each series shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise distinguished in such
manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Issuer executing
the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee as evidenced by the
execution and authentication thereof.
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

      Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The
Securities of each series shall bear interest, if any, from the date and such
interest shall be payable on the dates established as contemplated by Section
2.3.

      The person in whose name any Security of any series is registered at the
close of business on any record date applicable to a particular series with
respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to
receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date
notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to the
record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent
the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest
payment date for such series, in which case such defaulted interest shall be
paid to the persons in whose names Outstanding Securities for such series are
registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be
not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted
interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to
the holders of Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record
date. The term "record date" as used with respect to any interest payment date
(except a date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Securities of any
series shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Securities of
such series established as contemplated by Section 2.3, or, if no such date is
so established, if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar
month, the fifteenth day of the next preceding calendar month or, if such
interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month, the first day of
such calendar month, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

SECTION 2.8 Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

      The Issuer will keep at each office or agency to be maintained for the
purpose as provided in Section 3.2 for each series of Securities a register or
registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe,
it will provide for the registration of Securities of such series and the
registration of transfer of Securities of such series. Such register shall be in
written form in the English. language or in any other form capable of being
converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such
register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee.

      Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security of any
series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided
in Section 3.2, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or
Securities of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue
date in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount.

      At the option of the Holder thereof, Securities of any series may be
exchanged for a Security or Securities of such series, maturity date, interest
rate and original issue date of other authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Securities to be exchanged at
the agency of the Issuer that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance
with Section 3.2 and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the
charges hereinafter provided. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. All Securities surrendered upon any exchange or transfer
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

provided for in this Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by
the Trustee and the Trustee will deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to
the Issuer.

      All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange,
redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by,
the holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

      The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient, to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or
registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any
such transaction.

      The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a)
any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next preceding the first
mailing of notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be redeemed, or
(b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption, in whole or
in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion
thereof not so to be redeemed.

      All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be
valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such
transfer or exchange.

      None of the Issuer, the Trustee, any paying agent or the Security
registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records of the Depositary or the direct or indirect particpants relating to or
payments made by the Depositary or its direct or indirect participants on
account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests.

SECTION 2.9 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

      In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated,
defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may
execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Issuer, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of the same series, maturity date,
interest rate and original issue date, bearing a number or other distinguishing
symbol not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the
mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and substitution for the Security
so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute
Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof and in the case of
mutilation or defacement shall surrender the Security to the Trustee.

      Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Issuer may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security which has
matured or is about to mature or has been called for
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Issuer may instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or
authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case
of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall
furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the
Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of
them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant
shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or
the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
such Security and of the ownership thereof.

      Every substitute Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions
of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost
or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be
subject to all the limitations of rights set. forth in) this Indenture equally
and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned
upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude
any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing
or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment
of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

SECTION 2.10 Cancellation of Securities; Destruction Thereof.

      All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking
or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or
the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if
surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be
issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of
this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities held by it and
deliver a certificate of. disposition to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire
any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until
the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.11 Temporary Securities.

      Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the
Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary
Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise
reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary
Securities of any series shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and
substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with
such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the concurrence of the
Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Temporary
Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may
be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the
same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without
unreasonable delay the Issuer
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and
thereupon temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange
therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer
for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.2, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series a like
aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any
series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities of such series.

                                  ARTICLE THREE
                             COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER

      The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the
principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities of such series (together
with any Additional Amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) at
the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in such
Securities and in this Indenture. The interest on Securities (together with any
Additional Amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be
payable only to or upon written order of the Securityholders thereof and at the
option of the Issuer may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to
or upon the written order of such Securityholders at their last addresses as
they appear on the registry books of the Issuer.

SECTION 3.2 Offices for Payments, etc.

      The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, an agency where the Securities of each series may be presented for
payment, an agency where the Securities of each series may be presented for
exchange as is provided in this Indenture, an agency where Securities which are
convertible into or exchangeable for the Issuer's capital stock or other
securities may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and an agency where
the Securities of each series may be presented for registration of transfer as
in this Indenture provided.

      The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, an agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of
the Securities of any series or this Indenture may be served.

      The Issuer will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of each
such agency and of any change of location thereof. In case the Issuer shall fail
to maintain any agency required by this Section to be located in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to give such notice of the
location or of any change in the location of any of the above agencies,
presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee.
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

      The Issuer may from time to time designate one or more additional agencies
where the Securities of a series may be presented for payment, where the
Securities of that series may be presented for exchange as provided in this
Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.3 and where the Securities of that series
may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided, and
the Issuer may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the Issuer may
deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain
the agencies provided for in the immediately preceding paragraphs. The Issuer
will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or
rescission thereof.

SECTION 3.3 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

      The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of
Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so
that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of
Securities hereunder.

SECTION 3.4 Paying Agents.

      Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section,

            (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the
      payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series
      (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other
      obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the
      holders of the Securities of such series, or of the Trustee,

            (b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the
      Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make
      any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such
      series when the same shall be due and payable, and

            (c) that at any time during the continuance of any such failure,
      upon the written request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the
      Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent.

      The Issuer will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or
interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum
sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such
paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any
failure to take such action.

      If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the
Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal
of or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold
in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series a sum
sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Issuer will
promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

      Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer may
at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with
respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other
reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any
such series by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this
Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

      Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to
hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of
Sections 10.3 and 10.4.

SECTION 3.5 Written Statement to Trustee.

      The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee on or before April 15 in each year
a written statement, signed by two of its officers (which need not comply with
Section 11.5), stating that in the course of the performance of their duties as
officers of the Issuer they would normally have knowledge of any default by the
Issuer in the performance or fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or condition
contained in this Indenture, stating whether or not they have knowledge of any
such default and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signers have
knowledge and the nature thereof.

series:

      within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request as of a
      date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is
      furnished, provided that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the
      Security registrar for such series, such list shall not be required to be
      furnished.

SECTION 4.2 Preservation and Disclosure of Securityholders Lists.

            (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
      reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of

      Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such
      application, and such application states that the applicants desire to
      communicate with other holders of Securities of a particular series (in
      which case the applicants must all hold Securities of such series) or with
      Holders o all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture
      or under such Securities and such application is accompanied by a copy of
      the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to
      transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five business days after the
      receipt of such application, at its election, either

                  (i) afford to such applicants access to the information
            preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the
            provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, or

                  (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of
            holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as the case
            may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information
            preserved at the time by the Trustee, in accordance with the
            provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, and as to the
            approximate cost of mailing to such Securityholders the form of
            proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

            If the Trustee shall elect not to afford to such applicants access
      to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such
      applicants, mail to each Securityholder of such series or all Securities,
      as the case may be, whose name and address appears in the information
      preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
      subsection (a) of this Section a copy of the form of proxy or other
      communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable
      promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and
      of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of
      mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail
      to such applicants and file with the Commission together with a copy of
      the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the
      opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best
      interests of the holders of Securities of such series or all Securities,
      as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such
      written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the
      Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified
      in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to
      sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order
      sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find,
      after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so
      sustained have been met, and shall enter an order so declaring, the
      Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Securityholders
      with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal
      of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation
      or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

      held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request
      made under such subsection (b).

                           REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND
                       SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

SECTION 5.1 Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of
Default.

      "Event of Default" with respect to Securities of any series wherever used
herein, means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be
continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall
be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to
any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of
any administrative or governmental body):

            (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any
      of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and
      payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

            (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal on
      any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due
      and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or
      otherwise; or

            (c) default in the payment of any sinking fund installment as and
      when the same shall become due and payable by the terms of the Securities
      of such series; or

            (d) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or
      warranty of the Issuer in respect of the Securities of such series (other
      than a covenant or warranty in respect of the Securities of such series a
      default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section
      specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a
      period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified
      mail,. to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by
      the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
      Securities of all series affected thereby, a written notice specifying
      such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that
      such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

            (e) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree
      or order for relief in respect of the Issuer in an involuntary case under
      any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
      hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
      custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

      for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or
      liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed
      and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

            (f) the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable
      bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or
      consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under
      any such law, or consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a
      receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or
      similar official) of the Issuer or for any substantial part of its
      property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

            (g) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental
      indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors under which such series
      of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series.

      If an Event of Default described in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above (if
the Event of Default under clause (d) is with respect to less than all series of
Securities then Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and
every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such series
shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series
then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate class) by
notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by
Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of
such series are original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all
Securities of such series and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due
and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) (if
the Event of Default under clause (d) is with respect to all series of
Securities then Outstanding), (e) or (f) occurs and is continuing, then and in
each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have
already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding
hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the
Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if
any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then
outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due
and payable.

      The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if,
at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the
terms thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the
case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any
judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or
entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all
the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and
the principal of any and all Securities of such series (or of all the
Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment
of such interest is enforceable
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as
the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series, (or at the
respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the
case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be
sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents,
attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and
if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment
of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration,
shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein then and
in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
all the Securities of such series, each series voting as a separate class, (or
of all the Securities, as the case may be, voting as a single class) then
Outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all
defaults with respect to such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as
the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences,
but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect
any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

      For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of
any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared
due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such
declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the
principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for
all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be
due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of
the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such
acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts
owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such original Issue
Discount Securities.

SECTION 5.2 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt.

      The Issuer covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment
of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series when such
interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have
continued for a period of 30 days or (b) in case default shall be made in the
payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any
series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of
the Securities of such series or upon any redemption or by declaration or
otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series the whole amount
that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities of such series,
for principal or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such
payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such
interest is enforceable under applicable law; on overdue installments of
interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the
case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such
series); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to
the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and
counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by
the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or
bad faith.
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

      In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall
be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any
such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Issuer or other obligor upon such
Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Issuer or other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated, the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

      In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Issuer or any
other obligor upon the Securities under Title 11 of the United States Code or
any other applicable

      Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a
receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator,
sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken
possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor, or in case of
any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other
obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of
the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the
principal of any Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed
or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall
have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

            (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of
      principal and interest (or, if the Securities of any series are original
      Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
      specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the
      Securities of any series, and to file such other papers or documents as
      may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
      (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each
      predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel,
      and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
      advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a
      result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Securityholders allowed in
      any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the
      Securities of any series or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or
      such other obligor,

            (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on
      behalf of the holders of the Securities of any series in any election of a
      trustee of a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation
      or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar
      functions in comparable proceedings, and

            (c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
      deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received
      with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on
      their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other
      similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to
      make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall
      consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay
      to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
      compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective
      agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

      liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each
      predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith and all
      other amounts due to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to
      Section 6.6.

      Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Securityholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person:

      All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or
under any of the Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee
without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or the production
thereof on any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action
or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as
trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the
payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each
predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities in respect of which such action
was taken.

      In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders
of the Securities in respect to which such action was taken, and it shall not be
necessary to make any holders of such Securities parties to any such
proceedings.

SECTION 5.3 Application of Proceeds.

      Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of
any series shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by
the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of
principal or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of

      collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the
      same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of
      Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such
      payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without
      discrimination or preference;

            THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in
      respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be
      then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and
      unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for principal and interest,
      with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such
      interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of
      interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in
      the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the
      Securities of such series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient
      to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of
      such series, then to the payment of such principal and interest or Yield
      to Maturity, without preference or priority of principal over interest or
      Yield to Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity over principal, or
      of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or
      of any Security of such series over any other Security of such series,
      ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest
      or Yield to Maturity; and

            FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or
      any other person lawfully entitled thereto.

SECTION 5.4 Suits for Enforcement.

      In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is
continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the
rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such
rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for
the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this
Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to
enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this
Indenture or by law.

SECTION 5.5 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings.

      In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in
every such case the Issuer and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to
their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers
of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no
such proceedings had been taken.

SECTION 5.6 Limitations on Suits by Securityholders.

      No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or
by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or
proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or
with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for
any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to
the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as
hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding
shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or
proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have
failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent
with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 5.9; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by
the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the
Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any series shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of
Securities , or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Holders of Securities of the applicable series. For the protection and
enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and
the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Institute Certain Suits.

      Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of
any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on such Security on or after the respective due dates
expressed in such Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.8 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of
Default.

      Except as provided in Section 5.6, no right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders of Securities is intended to
be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

      No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of Securities to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and
continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein; and, subject to section 5.6, every power and remedy given by this
Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the holders of Securities may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the holders of Securities.

                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

SECTION 5.9 Control by Holders of Securities.

      The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of each series affected (with each series voting as a separate class) at the
time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series by this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be
otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and
provided further that (subject to the provisions of Section (6.1) the Trustee
shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee,
being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so
directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board
of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or
proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if
the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forebearances
specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the
interests of Holders of the Securities of all series so affected not joining in
the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 6.1)
the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or
forebearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

      Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its
discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not
inconsistent with such direction or directions by Securityholders.

SECTION 5.10 Waiver of Past Defaults.

      Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the
Securities of any series as provided in Section 5.1, the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time
Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series
waive any past default or Event of Default described in clause (c) of Section
5.1 (or, in the case of an event specified in clause (d) of Section 5.1 which
relates to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding
affected thereby (each series voting as a separate class) may waive any such
default or Event of Default, or, in the case of an event specified in clause (d)
(if the Event of Default under clause (d) relates to all series of Securities
then Outstanding), (e) or (f) of Section 5.1 the Holders of Securities of a
majority in principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding (voting as
one class) may waive any such default or Event of Default), and its consequences
except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected.
In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

      Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to
have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.11 Trustee to Give Notice of Default, But May Withhold in Certain
Circumstances.

      The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default
with respect to the Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with
respect to that series known to the Trustee to all Holders of then Outstanding
Securities of that series, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their
addresses as they shall appear in the registry books, unless in each case such
defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice
(the term "defaults" for the purpose of this Section being hereby defined to
mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both
would become, an Event of Default); provided that, except in the case of default
in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities of such
series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long
as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of
directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith
determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
Securityholders of such series.

SECTION 5.12 Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs.

      All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by
his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of
Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series, or, in the case of
any suit relating to or arising under clause (d) of Section 5.1 (if the suit
relates to Securities of more than one but less than all series), 10% in
aggregate principal amount of Securities Outstanding affected thereby, or in the
case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (d) (if the suit under
clause (d) relates to all the Securities then outstanding), (e) or (f) of
Section 5.1, 10% in aggregate principal amount of all Securities Outstanding, or
to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment
of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date
expressed in such Security or any date fixed for redemption.

                                   ARTICLE SIX
                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1 Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default; Prior to
Default.

      With respect to the Holders of any series of Securities issued hereunder,
the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of a particular series and after the curing or waiving of all Events
of Default which may have occurred with respect to
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

such series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or
waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as
a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his own affairs.

      No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own willful misconduct, except that

            (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
      the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such
      Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred:

                  (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to
            the Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the
            express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be
            liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as
            are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
            covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against
            the Trustee; and

                  (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
            the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
            and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
            statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
            conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of
            any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision
            hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
            Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
            whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

            (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
      in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
      Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
      ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

            (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
      or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
      direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 5.9 relating to the time,
      method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
      the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
      under this Indenture.

      None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 6.2 Certain Rights of the Trustee.

      Subject to Section 6.1:

            (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
      refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate or any
      other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
      request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other
      paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
      presented by the proper party or parties;

            (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Issuer mentioned
      herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless
      other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and
      any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee
      by a copy thereof certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of
      the Issuer;

            (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion
      of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
      respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it
      hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of
      Counsel;

            (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
      trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
      direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this
      Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee
      reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
      liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

            (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
      by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
      discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

            (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
      after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall
      not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
      any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
      notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture,
      note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in
      writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
      principal amount of the Securities of all series affected then
      Outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the
      Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it
      in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
      reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the
      terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
      against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the
      reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the
      Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, shall be
      repaid by the Issuer upon demand; and
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

            (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
      perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
      attorneys not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be
      responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent
      or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

SECTION 6.3 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of Securities or
Application of Proceeds Thereof.

      The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer,
and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The
Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use
or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds
thereof.

SECTION 6.4 Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities; Collections, etc.

      The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its individual
or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the
same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and, subject
to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive,
collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it
would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent.

SECTION 6.5 Moneys Held by Trustee.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4 hereof, all moneys received by
the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust
for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law.
Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under
any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.

SECTION 6.6 Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim.

      The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust) and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of
all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.
The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee
for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred
without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder
and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself
against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations
of the Issuer under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and
each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each
predecessor
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such,
except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular
Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim.

SECTION 6.7 Right of Trustee to Rely on Officers' Certificate, etc.

      Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, whenever in the administration of the
trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a
matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be
herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established
by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in
the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full
warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the
provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

SECTION 6.8 Qualification of Trustee; Conflicting Interests.

            (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as
      defined in this Section, it shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that
      it has such conflicting interest, either eliminate such conflicting
      interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in this
      Indenture.

            (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the
      provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, the Trustee shall, within 10
      days after the expiration of such 90 day period, transmit by mail notice
      of such failure to the Securityholders in the manner and to the extent
      required by Section 4.4(c).

            (c) For the purposes of this Section, the Trustee shall be deemed to
      have a conflicting interest with respect to Securities of any series if

                  (i) the Trustee is trustee under this Indenture with respect
            to the Outstanding Securities of any other series or is a trustee
            under another indenture under which any other securities, or
            certificates of interest or participation in any other securities,
            of the Issuer are outstanding, unless such other indenture is a
            collateral trust indenture under which the only collateral consists
            of Securities issued under this Indenture; provided that there shall
            be excluded from the operation of this paragraph this Indenture with
            respect to the Securities of any other series and there shall also
            be so excluded any other indenture or indentures under which other
            securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other
            securities, of the Issuer are outstanding if (i) this Indenture is
            and, if applicable, this Indenture and any series issued pursuant to
            this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures are wholly
            unsecured and rank equally, and such other indenture or indentures
            are hereafter qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
            unless the Commission shall have found and declared by order
            pursuant to Section 305(b) or Section 307(c) of such Trust Indenture
            Act of 1939 that

                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

            differences exist between the provisions of this Indenture with
            respect to Securities of such series and one or more other series,
            or the provisions of this Indenture and the provisions of such other
            indenture or indentures which are so likely to involve a material
            conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest
            or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from
            acting as such under this Indenture with respect to Securities of
            such series and such other series, or under this Indenture or such
            other indenture or indentures, or (ii) the Issuer shall have
            sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission
            and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that trusteeship under
            this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and such

            protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as
            such under this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series
            and such other series or under this Indenture and such other

            securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership through becoming
            executor, administrator, or testamentary trustee of an estate which

            security. Promptly after May 15 in each calendar year, the Trustee
            shall make a check of its holdings of such securities in any of the

            prompt check of its holdings of such securities in any of the
            above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the expiration of such
            30-day period, and after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing
            provisions of this paragraph, all such securities so held by the
            Trustee, with sole or joint control over such securities vested in

            considered as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the
            purposes of subsections (c)(vi), (vii) and (viii) of this Section.

      The specification of percentages in subsections (c)(v) to (ix) inclusive
of this Section shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such
percentages of the securities of a person is or is not necessary or sufficient
to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of subsections
(c)(iii) or (vii) of this Section.

      in payment of principal shall have continued for 30 days or more and shall
      not have been cured; and

            (iii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be the owner or holder of

      (ii) above, or (y) any security which it holds as collateral security
      under this Indenture, irrespective of any default hereunder, or (z) any

      agent, or depositary, or in any similar representative capacity.

            outstanding voting securities of such person are entitled to cast in

      notice of such resignation to the Holders of then Outstanding Securities
      of each series affected at their addresses as they shall appear on the
      registry books. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer
      shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the
      applicable series by written instrument in duplicate, executed by

      which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy
      to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have
      been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment
      within 30 days after the mailing of, such notice of resignation, the
      resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
      appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a
      bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for
      at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, on
      behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such
      court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may
      thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe,
      appoint a successor trustee.

            (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

                  (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
            Section 6.8 with respect to any series of Securities after written
            request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder who has been
            a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at
            least six months; or

                   (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
            with the provisions of Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after
            written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder; or

                  (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with
            respect to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt
            or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its
            property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge
            or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
            purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the
applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series
by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors
of the Issuer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of
Section 5.12, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
or Securities of such series for at least six months may on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee witty
respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as
it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee.

            (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
      Securities of each series at the time outstanding may at any time remove
      the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and appoint a
      successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by
      delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so
      appointed and to the Issuer the evidence provided for in Section 7.1 of
      the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders.

                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

            (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any
      series and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such
      series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become
      effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
      provided in Section 6.11.

SECTION 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee.

      Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute
and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations
with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the
written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its
charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 10.4,
pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder
and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any
such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in
writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall,
nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected
by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.6.

      If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one
or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor Trustee and each
successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring
shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide
for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental
indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that
each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate
indentures.

      No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of
Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9.

      Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in
this Section 6.11, the Issuer shall mail notice thereof to the Holders of
Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such Holders at
their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. If the acceptance of
appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the. resignation, then the
notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice
called for by Section 6.10. If the Issuer fails to mail such notice within ten
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Issuer.

                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

SECTION 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of
Trustee.

      Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions
of Section 6.9, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

      In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the
trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have
been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver
such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the
Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the
Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor
hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such
certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of
such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee
shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication
of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of any series in the
name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors
by merger, conversion or consolidation.

SECTION 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer.

            (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section, if the Trustee shall
      be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or
      unsecured, of the Issuer within four months prior to a default, as defined
      in subsection (c) of this Section, or subsequent to such a default, then,
      unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart
      and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually,
      the Holders of the Securities and the holders of other indenture
      securities (as defined in this Section):

                  (1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount
      due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or
      interest, effected after the beginning of such four months' period and
      valid as against the Issuer and its other creditors, except any such
      reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property
      described in subsection (a)(2) of this Section, or from the exercise of
      any right of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition
      in bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Issuer upon the date of
      such default; and

                  (2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any
            claim as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in
            satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the
            beginning of such four months' period, or an amount equal to the
            proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject, however, to
            the rights, if any, of the Issuer and its other creditors in such
            property or such proceeds.

      Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee:
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

            (A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of
      any such claim by any person (other than the Issuer) who is liable
      thereon, (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the
      Trustee to a third person, and (iii) distributions made in cash,
      securities or other property in respect of claims filed against the Issuer
      in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization
      pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable state law;

            (B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as
      security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the
      beginning of such four months' period;

            (C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the
      claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for
      any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such four
      months' period and such property was received as security therefor
      simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain
      the burden of proving that at the time such property was so received the
      Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default as defined in
      subsection (c) of this Section would occur within four months; or

            (D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or
      (C), against the release of any property held as security for such claim
      as provided in such paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the
      extent of the fair value of such property.

      For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property substituted
after the beginning of such four months' period for property held as security at
the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the
property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the
extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in
renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding
any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have
the same status as such pre-existing claim.

      If the Trustee shall be required to account) the funds and property held
in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned between
the Trustee, the Securityholders and the Holders of other indenture securities
in such manner that the Trustee, such Securityholders and the Holders of other
indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account
and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Issuer in bankruptcy or
receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the
United States Code or applicable State law, the same percentage of their
respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything
on account of the receipt by it from the Issuer of the funds and property in
such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the
Trustee, such Securityholders and the Holders of other indenture securities
dividends on claims filed against the Issuer in bankruptcy or receivership or in
proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or
applicable State
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness
represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such
dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special account. As
used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall
include any distribution with respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or
receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the
United States Code or applicable State law, whether such distribution is made in
cash, securities or other property, but shall not include any such distribution
with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which
such bankruptcy, receivership or proceeding for reorganization is pending shall
have jurisdiction (i) to apportion between the Trustee, such Securityholders and
the Holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of
this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and the
proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment, in whole or in part, to
give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the
fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee, such Securityholders
and the Holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective
claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the
value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as
security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such
distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or
otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula.

      Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such
four months' period shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) as
though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned
or been removed prior to the beginning of such four months' period, it shall be
subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) if and only if the following
conditions exist:

                  (i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which would
            have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had
            continued as trustee, occurred after the beginning of such four
            months' period; and

                  (ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred
            within four months after such resignation or removal.

            (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of this Section a
      creditor relationship arising from

            (1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any
      indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or
      more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee;

            (2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of
      competent jurisdiction or by this Indenture for the purpose of preserving
      any property which shall at any time be subject to the lien of this
      Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances
      thereon, if notice of such advance and of the circumstances surrounding
      the making thereof is given to the Securityholders at the time and in the
      manner provided in this Indenture;

            (3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the
      capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar,
      custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar
      capacity;
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

            (4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or
      premises rented or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or
      securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in subsection (c)(3)
      below;

            (5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a corporation
      organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve
      Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly a creditor of the Issuer;
      or

            (6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any
      drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which fall within
      the classification of self-liquidating paper as defined in subsection
      (c)(4) of this Section.

            (c) As used in this Section:

            (1) the term "default" shall mean any failure to make payment in
      full of the principal of or interest upon any of the Securities or upon
      the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest
      becomes due and payable;

            (2) the term "other indenture securities" shall mean securities upon
      which the Issuer is an obligor (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act of
      1939) outstanding under any other indenture (i) under which the Trustee is
      also trustee, (ii) which contains provisions substantially similar to
      provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, and (iii) under which a
      default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property
      held in said special account;

            (3) the term "cash transaction" shall mean any transaction in which
      full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after
      delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other
      orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand;

            (4) the term "self-liquidating paper" shall mean any draft, bill of
      exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or
      incurred by the Issuer for the purpose of financing the purchase,
      processing, manufacture, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or
      merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to,
      possession of, or a lien upon the goods, wares or merchandise or the
      receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or
      merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is
      received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor
      relationship with the Issuer arising from the making, drawing, negotiating
      or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation; and

            (5) the term "Issuer" shall mean any obligor upon the Securities.

SECTION 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

      The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued
upon original issue and upon exchange, transfer, repayment or redemption or
pursuant to Section 2.9 or, if applicable, upon conversion, and Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers and to act as Authenticating Agent,
having a combined capital and surplus or not less than U.S. $15,000,000, subject
to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

      An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent and shall provide notice of such appointment by first class mail postage
pre-paid to all Holders of Securities referred to in Section 4.4(c) with respect
to which such Authenticating Agent shall have been appointed. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become
vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor
Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of
this Section.

      Unless the Issuer agrees to make such payment, the Trustee agrees to pay
to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed
for such payment, subject to the provisions of Section 6.6.

      Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 7.3 of this Indenture shall be applicable to
any Authenticating Agent.

                                  ARTICLE SEVEN
                         CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

SECTION 7.1 Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders.

 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken with regard to any
particular Security (including any Security or Securities represented by a
Global Security) by a specified percentage in principal amount of the
Securityholders of any or all series may be given or taken with regard to all or
any
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

part or different parts of the principal amount of such Security or Global
Security and be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of
Securityholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as
otherwise herein expressly provided, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution
of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner
provided in this Article. Any notice given or action taken by a Securityholder
or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant
to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate
Securityholders of each such different part.

SECTION 7.2 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities.

      Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the execution of any instrument by a
Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in the following manner:

            (a) The fact and date of the execution by any Holder of any
      instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other
      officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or
      administer oaths that the person executing such instruments acknowledged
      to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such
      execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where
      such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an
      individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient
      proof of the authority of the person executing the same. Subject to
      Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the fact and date of the execution of any such
      instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities of any series held by
      the person so executing such instrument and the amount and numbers of any
      Security or Securities for such series may also be proven in accordance
      with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the
      Trustee for such series or in any other manner which the Trustee for such
      series may deem sufficient.

            (b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security
      register or by a certificate of the Security registrar.

SECTION 7.3 Holders to be Treated as Owners.

      The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may
deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon
the Security register for such series as the absolute owner of such Security
(whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation
of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of
or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this
Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the
Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such
person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums
so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable
upon any such Security.
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

SECTION 7.4 Securities Owned by Issuer Deemed Not Outstanding.

      In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of any or all series have concurred in any
direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by
the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such
determination is being made or by any person directly or indirectly controlling
or. controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or
any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is
being made shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose
of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or
waiver only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be
regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that
the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any
person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or
indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities.
In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full
protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with
such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the
Trustee promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all
Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the
account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 6.1 and
6.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as
conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all
Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination.

SECTION 7.5 Right of Revocation of Action Taken.

      At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 7.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series,
as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action,
any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to
be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have
consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust
Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action
so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by
the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued
in exchange or substitution therefor or on registration of transfer thereof,
irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any
such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be,
specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively
binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities
affected by such action.

      or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation
      of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer pursuant to
      Article Nine;

            (c) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants,
      restrictions, conditions or provisions as its Board of Directors and the
      Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of
      Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance,
      of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or
      provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of
      the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth;
      provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction,
      condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a
      particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or
      longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for
      an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the
      remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may
      limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
      of the Securities of such series to waive such an Event of Default;

            (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
      contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective
      or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any

      Directors may deem necessary or desirable, provided that no such action
      shall adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities;

      permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.3; and

            (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
      hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
      more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this
      Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
      administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant
      to the requirements of Section 6.11.

      The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuer in the execution
of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations which may

provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date of
execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders
of the Securities of each such series; provided, that no such supplemental
indenture shall (a) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the

provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the
rights of Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or

supplemental indenture.

amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of

Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation instead of the Issuer
and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture
prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities
which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the
Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such

have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities
theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof.

      In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance such
changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the
Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

      In the event of any such sale or conveyance (other than a conveyance by
way of lease) the Issuer or any successor corporation which shall theretofore
have become such in the manner described in this Article shall be discharged
from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and
may be liquidated and dissolved.

rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the
Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day
preceding that on which final unappealable judgment is given and (b) its
obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i)

of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments,
(ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for
the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which
such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency
so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being
obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the
foregoing, "New York Banking Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in
The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to
close.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE
                     REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 12.1 Applicability of Article.

      The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of
any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for
the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.3 for Securities of such series.

SECTION 12.2 Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions.

      Notice of redemption to the Holders of Securities of any series to be
redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Issuer shall be given by
mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least
30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such
Holders of Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall
appear upon the registry books. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in
the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption
as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Security of such series.

      The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal
amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the
date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment,
that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities,
that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or
both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said
date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to
accrue. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only the
notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to
be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption,
upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

      The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the
option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer's request,
by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

      On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption
given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or
with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying
agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4) an
amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities
of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price,
together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If less than
all the Outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed at the election of
the Issuer, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 70 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate
principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the
election of the Issuer prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, prior
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section,
an Officers' Certificate stating that such restriction has been complied with.

      If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the
Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair,
Securities of such Series, to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be
redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities of such series selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all
provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any series shall relate,
in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be
redeemed.

SECTION 12.3 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.

      If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities
or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable
on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption
price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on
and after said date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such
Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date)
interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption
shall cease to accrue, and, except as provided in Sections 6.5 and 10.4, such
Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be
entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders
thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to
receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for
redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of
payment specified in said notice, said Securities or the specified portions
thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable redemption
price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption;
provided that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for
redemption shall be payable to the Holders of Securities registered as such on
the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.3 and
2.7 hereof.

      If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for,
bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or
Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security) borne by
the Security.

      Upon presentation of any Security redeemed id part only, the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the
Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities of
such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

SECTION 12.4 Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for
Redemption.

      Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption
if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officers'
Certificate delivered to the
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption
may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or
hypothecated by either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified
in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by
or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer.

SECTION 12.5 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds.

      The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms
of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking
fund payment". The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein
referred to as the "sinking fund payment date".

      In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment
with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its option
(a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or
otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking
fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not
previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as
aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant
to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not
previously so credited) made. pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit
for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the
Issuer through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such
series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the
Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

      On or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund payment date
for any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an officers' Certificate
(which need not contain the statements required by Section 11.5) (a) specifying
the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of
cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series and
the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the Securities of such
series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the
payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have
occurred (which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d)
stating whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its right to make an
optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying
the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Issuer intends to pay
on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of
such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order
for the Issuer to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not
theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation
pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such Officers' Certificate (or
reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officers'
Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Issuer
shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments
therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund
payment date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any such 60th day, to deliver
such Officers' Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any,
shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the
irrevocable election of the Issuer (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment
for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment shall be paid
entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Issuer will make no optional sinking
fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

      If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to
be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused
balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000
(or a lesser sum if the Issuer shall so request) with respect to the Securities
of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the
sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 or less and the Issuer makes no
such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 is
available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 12.2, for
redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of
Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall
(if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer of the serial numbers
of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Securities
shall be excluded from eligibility for redemption under this Section if they are
identified by registration and certificate number in an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date
as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by
either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such Officers'
Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
director indirect common control with the Issuer. The Trustee, in the name and
at the expense of the Issuer (or the Issuer, if it shall so request the Trustee
in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to
be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 12.2 (and with the
effect provided in Section 12.3) for the redemption of Securities of such series
in part at the option of the Issuer. The amount of any sinking fund payments not
so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be
added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with
such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the stated maturity date of the
Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is
accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular
Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if
necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and
interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity.

      On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Issuer shall pay to the
Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the
next following sinking fund payment date.

      The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a
series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities
for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a
default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default
except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall
theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed
such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Issuer a sum
sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking
fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall
occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the
continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been
collected under Article Five and held for the payment of all such Securities. In
case such Event

                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.10 or the default
cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment date in
any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking
fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such
Securities.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN
                           SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 13.1 Agreement to Subordinate.

      The Issuer, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees,
and each Holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and
agrees, that the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest,
if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of each and all of the
Securities is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness.

SECTION 13.2 Distribution on Dissolution, Liquidation and Reorganization;
Subrogation of Securities.

      Upon any distribution of assets of the Issuer to creditors upon any
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, whether
voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership or other similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit
of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the
Issuer:

      (a)   the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive
            payment in full of all such Senior Indebtedness (including, if
            applicable, all principal thereof (and premium, if any) and interest
            due thereon), or to have such payment duly provided for, before the
            Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to receive any payment
            of the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on, or
            Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities;

      (b)   any payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer of any kind or
            character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the
            Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except
            for the provisions of this Article Thirteen shall be paid by the
            liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or
            distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or
            liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior
            Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the
            trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments
            evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued,
            ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on
            account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
            the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent
            necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness
            remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
            distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and

      (c)   in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
            distribution of assets of the Issuer of any kind or character,
            whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the
            Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior
            Indebtedness is paid in full or such payment is duly provided for,
            such payment or distribution shall be paid over, upon written notice
            to the Trustee, to the holders of
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

            such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives
            or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any
            instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been
            issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to payment of all
            Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior
            Indebtedness shall have been paid in full or such payment duly
            provided for, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
            distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

      Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (or such payment
having been duly provided for), the Holders of the Securities shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive
payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Issuer
applicable to Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the
Securities shall be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to the
Holders of the Securities of cash, property or securities otherwise
distributable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the
Issuer, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the
Holders of the Securities be deemed to be a payment by the Issuer to or on
account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article
Thirteen are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative
rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article
Thirteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or
shall impair, as between the Issuer, its creditors other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the
Issuer, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holders of the
Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and
Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the
relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Issuer
other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or in
the Securities prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this
Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Thirteen of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the
Issuer received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Issuer referred to in this Article Thirteen, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be entitled to
rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person
making any distribution to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining the
Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article Thirteen.

      The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be liable to any such
holder if it shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of
Securities or the Issuer moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Thirteen.

      If the Trustee or any Holder of Securities does not file a proper claim or
proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to above prior to
30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim in such proceeding,
then the holder of any Senior Indebtedness is
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

hereby authorized, and has the right, to file an appropriate claim or claims for
or on behalf of such Holder of Securities.

SECTION 13.3 No Payment on Securities in Event of Default on Senior
Indebtedness.

      No payment by the Issuer on account of principal of, or premium, if any,
sinking funds, if any, or interest, if any, on, or Additional Amounts, if any,
in respect of the Securities (including, without limitation, any repurchases of
Securities) shall be made if there shall have occurred and be continuing (i) a
default in the payment when due of principal of, premium, if any, sinking funds,
if any, or interest, if any on any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer and any
applicable grace period with respect to such default shall have ended without
such default having been cured or waived or ceasing to exist or such Senior
Indebtedness having been paid in full or (ii) an event of default with respect
to any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer resulting in the acceleration of the
maturity thereof without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled or
such Senior Indebtedness having been paid in full.

SECTION 13.4 Payments on Securities Permitted.

      Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall (a)
affect the obligation of the Issuer to make, or prevent the Issuer from making,
at any time except as provided in Sections 13.2 and 13.3, payments of principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on, or Additional Amounts or
sinking fund payments, if any, with respect to the Securities or (b) prevent the
application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the
payment of or on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest,
if any, on, or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities, unless
the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office written notice of
any event prohibiting the making of such payment more than two Business Days
prior to the date fixed for such payment.

SECTION 13.5 Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect Subordination.

      Each Holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs
the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article Thirteen and
appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

SECTION 13.6 Notices to Trustee.

      The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact
known to the Issuer which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to this Article Thirteen. Failure
to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Securities to
Senior Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Thirteen or
any other provisions of this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any paying agent
for the Securities of any series (other than the Issuer) shall be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any event which
would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or such
paying agent, unless and until the Trustee or such paying agent shall have
received (in the case of the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office) written
notice thereof from the Issuer or from the holder of any Senior
<PAGE>
                                                                  Exhibit (4)(j)

Indebtedness or from the trustee for any such holder, together with proof
satisfactory to the Trustee of such holding of Senior Indebtedness or of the
authority of such trustee; provided, however, that if at least two Business Days
prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof or the applicable Securities
any such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if
any, on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such
moneys the notice provided for in this Section 13.6, then, anything herein
contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and
authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which
they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary
which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
on behalf of such holder) to establish that such a notice has been given by a
holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder. In the
event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is
required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to participate in any
payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Thirteen, the Trustee may
request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person (or the
amount of Senior Indebtedness as to which such Person is trustee), the extent to
which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and
any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article
Thirteen and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such
Person to receive such payment.

SECTION 13.7 Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness.

      The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights
set forth in this Article Thirteen in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any
time held by it to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness
and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any
of its rights as such holder.

      Nothing in this Article Thirteen shall apply to claims of, or payments to,
the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.6.

SECTION 13.8 Modifications of Terms of Senior Indebtedness.

      Any renewal or extension of the time of payment of any Senior Indebtedness
or the exercise by the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any of their rights
under any instrument creating or evidencing Senior Indebtedness, including,
without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, may, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be made or done without notice to or assent from
the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee.

      To the extent permitted by applicable law, no compromise, alteration,
amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver,
consent or other action in respect of, any liability or obligation under or in
respect of any Senior Indebtedness, or any of the terms, covenants or conditions
