$30,000,000                                                   New York, New York
March 15, 2000

                                      NOTE


         1. For value received,  the  undersigned,  by this promissory note (the
"Note") unconditionally promises to pay to the order of THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK
(the  "Bank") at any of its  banking  offices in New York,  New York,  in lawful
money of the United States and immediately available funds, the principal amount
of THIRTY  MILLION  DOLLARS  ($30,000,000)  or the  aggregate  unpaid  principal
balance of all advances made by the Bank to the undersigned,  whichever is less,
together  with  interest  on each  advance,  in like money and funds,  at a rate
determined by the Bank in its sole discretion at the time of such advance.  Each
advance  shall be payable on the maturity date  thereof,  as agreed  between the
Borrower and the Bank on the date of such advance,  provided that no advance may
mature  after April 28,  2000 (the "Final  Maturity  Date").  Interest  shall be
payable on the  maturity  date of each  advance and upon any  prepayment  of any
advance.

         2. If all or any  portion  of any  advance  shall  not be paid when due
         (whether as stated,  by  acceleration  or otherwise) such advance shall
bear  interest,  for the  period  from the due date of such  advance  until  the
maturity date  thereof,  at the rate per annum which is equal to 2% above on the
rate which would  otherwise  be  applicable  herunder and  thereafter  until the
unpaid  principal  amount  thereof  shall be paid in full, at the rate per annum
which is equal to 2% above the rate of interest  publicly  announced by the Bank
from time to time in New York,  New York as its prime  rate.  Each change in the
interest rate hereon resulting from a change in the prime rate of the Bank shall
become  effective  as of the opening of business on the day on which such change
in such prime rate occurs.  Interest  shall be  calculated on the basis of a 360
day  year  for  actual  days  elapsed.  Anything  in this  Note to the  contrary
notwithstanding,  the Bank shall not be permitted to charge or receive,  and the
undersigned  shall not be  obligated  to pay,  interest in excess of the maximum
rate from time to time permitted by applicable law;  provided,  however,  if the
maximum rate permitted by law changes, the rate hereunder shall change,  without
notice to the  undersigned,  on the same day the  maximum  rate  pemitted by law
changes.

         3. the undersigned may not prepay any advance unless it shall reimburse
the  Bank on  demand  for  any  loss  incurred  or to be  incurred  by it in the
reemployment  of the funds released by any such  prepayment.  Such loss shall be
the  difference,  as determined  by the Bank,  between the cost of obtaining the
funds for the advance or advances  (or portion  thereof)  prepaid and any lesser
amount which may be realized by the Bank in  reemploying  the funds  received in
prepayment during the period from the date of prepayment to the maturity date of
each advance prepaid.
<PAGE>
         4. If any amount becomes due and payable under this Note on a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which  commercial banks are authorized to close under the
laws of the State of New York,  the  maturity  thereof  shall be extended to the
next succeeding  business day and interest  thereon shall be payable during such
extension at the rate applicable to the Note prior to such extension.

         5. The  undersigned  shall pay all reasonable  out-of-pocket  costs and
expenses  incurred by the Bank in connection with the  preparation,  development
and execution of this note and any amendment, supplement or modification hereto,
including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Bank
(which may include allocation of the cost of in-house counsel to the Bank).

         6. Upon occurrence, with respect to any maker, endorser or guarantor of
any of the following: default in payment of this Note or any other obligation of
any nature or description to the Bank (collectively, the "Obligation"; any other
violation  of any covenant or  condition  of any of the  Obligations;  calling a
meeting of any creditors;  filing of a voluntary or  involuntary  petition under
the Federal  Bankruptcy Code which, in the case of an involuntary  petition,  is
not dismissed, discharged or bonded within 60 days of the date of such petition;
insolvency;  entry of a judgment;  failure to pay or remit any tax when assessed
or due unless  contested  in good  faith by  appropriate  proceedings  for which
adequate  reserves  are being  provided;  death (in the case of an  individual),
termination  (in the case of a  partnership)  or  dissolution  (in the case of a
corporation);  granting a  security  interest  in any  property;  suspension  or
liquidation of usual business;  failing to furnish  financial  information or to
permit inspection of books or records;  making any misrepresentation to the Bank
in  obtaining  credit;  or,  in the  Bank's  opinion,  impairment  of  financial
responsibility;  then  the  Obligations  shall  be due and  payable  immediately
without notice or demand.

         7. The  undersigned  agrees to indemnify  the Bank for, and to hold the
Bank  harmless  from,  any loss or expense  which the Bank may sustain or incur,
including any interest payment by the Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it in
order to make or maintain the loans  evidenced  hereby as a  consequence  of (a)
default by the  undersigned  in payment of the principal  amount of, or interest
on,  this  Note and (b)  payment  by the  undersigned  on a day  other  than the
maturity  date of any  advance as a result of  acceleration  of the  obligations
hereunder or otherwise. This covenant shall survive payment of this Note.

         8. Each  advance,  and each  payment  made on account of the  principal
thereof,  shall be  endorsed by the Holder on an  attachment  hereto on the date
such advance is made or a payment in  immediately  available  funds is received.
This Note shall be used to record all advances  and  payments of principal  made
hereunder  until it is surrendered  to the  undersigned by the Bank and it shall
continue to be used even  though  there may be periods  prior to such  surrender
when no amount of principal or interest is owing hereunder.
<PAGE>
         9. The Bank shall have a  continuing  lien  and/or  right of set-off on
deposits  (general  and  special)  and  credits  with the  Bank of every  maker,
endorser  and  guarantor,  and may apply  all or part of same to the  Obligation
(whether  contingent or unmatured ), at any time or times,  without notice.  The
Bank shall have a continuing  lien on all property of every maker,  endorser and
guarantor  and the  proceeds  therof held or received by or for the Bank for any
purpose.  Any notice of disposition  of property  shall be deemed  reasonable if
mailed at least 5 days  before  such  disposition  to the last  address  of such
maker,  endorser or guarantor on the Bank's  records.  Each maker,  endorser and
guarantor agrees to pay the costs and expenses  (including,  without limitation,
reasonable  attorneys' fees) of enforcing the Obligations.  Each maker, endorser
and guarantor waives protest and, in any litigation  (whether or not relating to
the  Obligations)  in which the Bank and any of them shall be  adverse  parties,
waives  the right to  interpose  any  set-off or  counterclaim  of any nature or
description and any defense based upon any statue of limitations or any claim of
laches. Time for payment extended by law shall be included in the computation of
interest.

         10.  The  undersigned  hereby  irrevocably  (a)  submits,  in any legal
proceeding relating to this Note, to the non-exclusive in personam  jurisdiction
of any state or United  States  court of competent  jurisdiction  sitting in the
State of New York and agrees to suit being brought in any such court, (b) agrees
to service of process in any such legal  proceeding by mailing of copies thereof
(by registered or certified mail, if practicable)  postage prepaid, or by telex,
to the  undersigned at the last known address of the undersigned on the books of
the Bank, and (c) agrees that nothing  contained  herein shall affect the Bank's
right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and the
undersigned and the Bank hereby irrevocably waive, in any such legal proceeding,
trial by jury.

         11. This Note shall be governed by, and construed in  accordance  with,
the laws of the State of New York.
