                                     BRIDGE LOAN
                                  PROMISSORY NOTE

$200,000,000                                                      August 4, 2000

       FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned Borrower hereby promises to pay to
the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. and its successors and assigns (the
"BANK"), on or before February 4, 2001 (the "MATURITY DATE") at its offices in
San Francisco, California in immediately available funds TWO HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS ($200,000,000) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
all advances made to the undersigned hereunder, together with interest thereon
at the rates and on the same basis and terms as provided for with respect to
Committed Loans under Sections 2 and 3 of the Credit Agreement (as defined
below), all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

       This Note evidences a refinancing of the loans outstanding under that
certain bridge loan promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of
$200,000,000 dated February 4, 2000 issued by the Borrower to the Bank (the
"ORIGINAL BRIDGE NOTE").  The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is the same
indebtedness evidenced by the Original Bridge Note and Eurodollar Loans
existing under the Original Bridge Note may be continued hereunder for the
duration of the applicable Interest Period without a break funding event
hereunder.  The Bank will return the Original Bridge Note promptly upon this
Note becoming effective as provided below.

       The Borrower will pay to the Bank (i) an upfront fee of 5 basis points
(0.05%) on the aggregate amount of the commitments hereunder payable on the
date hereof, (ii) a commitment fee of 20 basis points (0.20%) on the aggregate
amount of the commitments hereunder payable on the Maturity Date unless the
loans and advances evidenced hereby shall have been paid in full and the
commitments hereunder shall have been terminated prior to such date, and (iii)
a facility fee equal to the Applicable Percentage for the Facility Fee under
the Credit Agreement multiplied by the actual aggregate daily amount of
commitments hereunder (or aggregate principal balance outstanding hereunder,
if the commitments have been terminated), regardless of usage, payable
quarterly in arrears computed and paid on the same basis as the Facility Fee
under the Credit Agreement.  In addition, the Borrower will pay the reasonable
costs and expenses of the Bank, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel, in connection with the preparation, execution and
establishment of the facility evidenced by this Note.

       Amounts repaid hereunder may not be reborrowed.  The aggregate
principal amount of advances outstanding hereunder shall be due and payable in
full, together with interest thereon, on the Maturity Date.  This Note shall
become effective (and shall replace the Original Bridge Note) upon delivery to
the Bank of an executed copy of this Note together with a legal opinion
relating to this Note in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Bank).  Payments shall be made in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds,
without offset, deduction, counterclaim or withholding of any kind at the
offices of the Bank in San Francisco, California, or such other offices as the
Bank may direct.

       The Borrower may make voluntary prepayments hereunder at any time in
any amount without penalty or premium (other than break-funding indemnity
payments which may be owing in connection therewith).  In addition, the
Borrower shall make mandatory prepayment hereunder upon the occurrence after
the date hereof of any Asset Disposition, Debt Transaction or Equity
Transaction (all as defined below) promptly (but in any event within five
days) following receipt of the net proceeds, in an amount equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the net cash proceeds (net of taxes, commissions, legal fees
and expenses and all other applicable costs) received by the Borrower from any
such Asset Disposition, Debt Transaction or Equity Transaction.  Amounts
prepaid may not be reborrowed hereunder.

       The holder may endorse and attach a schedule to reflect borrowings
evidenced by this Note and all payments and prepayments thereon; PROVIDED that
any failure to endorse such information shall not affect the obligation of the
undersigned Borrower to pay amounts evidenced hereby.

       The representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of the Credit
Agreement (other than those which expressly relate to an earlier date) are
true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof, provided that
for purposes hereof references therein to "this Agreement" and to the "Loan
Documents" shall be deemed to include this Note.  The covenants contained in
Sections 6 and 7 of the Credit Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof, are
incorporated herein by reference and shall apply with the same effect as if
set forth at length, provided that for purposes hereof references therein to
"this Agreement" and to the "Loan Documents" shall be deemed to include this
Note.

       Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all amounts evidenced by
this Note may, or shall, in the case of an event of bankruptcy or insolvency
described in subsections (f), (g) or (h) of Section 8.01 of the Credit
Agreement, become immediately due and payable (and the commitments hereunder
shall thereupon terminate), without presentment, demand, protest or notice of
any kind, all of which are waived by the undersigned.  In the event payment of
amounts evidenced by this Note is not made at any stated or accelerated
maturity, the undersigned agrees to pay, in addition to principal and
interest, all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
