cease in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

           -----------------------
the Assigned Interests and the other Collateral only and not an assignment of
any duties or obligations of the Assignor with respect thereto, and by its
acceptance hereof and whether or not the Assignee shall have exercised any of
its rights or remedies hereunder, the Assignee does not undertake to perform or
discharge, and shall not be responsible or liable for the performance or
discharge of, any such duties or responsibilities, including, without
limitation, for capital calls. The Assignor agrees that, notwithstanding the
exercise by the Assignee of any of its rights hereunder, the Assignor shall
remain liable for the full and prompt performance of all of the Assignor's
obligations and liabilities under the Partnership Agreement. Under no
circumstances shall the Assignee or any holder of any of the Obligations as such
be deemed to be a partner of the Partnership by virtue of the provisions of this
Assignment unless expressly agreed to in writing by the Assignee. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Assignee shall have no partnership
fiduciary duty to the Assignor, whether by virtue of the security interests and
liens hereunder, or any enforcement action in respect of such security
<PAGE>

                                      -10-

interests and liens, unless and until the Assignee is admitted to the
Partnership as a substitute partner after exercising enforcement rights under
(S)9-504 or (S)9-505 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, or otherwise.

                             5.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
                                 -----------------

     Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Event of
Default" hereunder:

          (a) The Assignor shall fail to perform any of its obligations under
     the Partnership Agreement;

          (b) The occurrence of any "Event of Default" or other like occurrence
     under the Credit Agreement, the other Revolver Loan Documents or any other
     agreement between the Assignor and the Assignee or under any other
     instrument executed by the Assignor in favor of the Assignee.

                                 6.  REMEDIES.
                                     --------

     6.1.  Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the
           --------
Assignee shall have, in addition to the rights, powers and authorizations to
collect the sums assigned hereunder, all rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and under
other applicable law with respect to the Assigned Interests and any other
Collateral hereunder, including, without limitation, the following rights and
remedies:

          (a) if the Assignee so elects and gives written notice of such
     election to the Assignor, the Assignee may, in its sole discretion, (i)
     exercise any management or voting rights relating to the Assigned Interests
     (whether or not the same shall have been transferred into its name or the
     name of its nominee or nominees) for any lawful purpose, including for the
     amendment or modification of the Partnership Agreement or other governing
     documents or the liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, (ii) give
     all consents, waivers, approvals, and ratifications in respect of such
     Assigned Interests, and (iii) otherwise act with respect thereto as though
     it were the outright owner thereof (the Assignor hereby irrevocably
     constituting and appointing the Assignee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of
     the Assignor, with full power and authority of substitution, to do so);

          (b) the Assignee may, in its sole discretion, demand, sue for,
     collect, compromise, or settle any rights or claims in respect of any
     Collateral, as attorney-in-fact pursuant to (S)4.1 or otherwise;

          (c) (i)  the Assignee may, in its sole discretion, sell, resell,
     assign, deliver, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral, for
     cash or credit or both and upon such terms, in such manner, at such place
     or places, at such time or times, and to such persons or entities as the
     Assignee thinks expedient, all without demand for performance by the
     Assignor or any notice or advertisement whatsoever except as expressly
     provided herein or as may
<PAGE>

                                      -11-

     otherwise be required by applicable law; and (ii) at the time of any such
     sale or other disposition, the Assignee or its nominee or any purchaser of
     the Collateral at a foreclosure sale may, in its sole discretion, cause the
     Partnership to make an election under (S)754 of the Internal Revenue Code
     as to the basis of any Assigned Interest being sold or otherwise disposed
     of.

          (d) the Assignee may, in its sole discretion, cause all or any part of
     the Assigned Interests held by it to be transferred into its name or the
     name of its nominee or nominees; and

          (e) the Assignee may, in its sole discretion, set off against the
     Obligations or place an administrative hold or freeze on any and all sums
     deposited with it or held by it, including any sums standing to the credit
     of the Cash Collateral Account and any Time Deposits issued by the
     Assignee, with any withdrawal penalty relating to Time Deposits being an
     expense of collection.

     6.2.  Remedies Not Exclusive. No single or partial exercise by the
           ----------------------
Assignee of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
Each right, power and remedy herein specifically granted to the Assignee or
otherwise available to it shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every
other right, power, and remedy herein specifically given or now or hereafter
existing at law, in equity, or otherwise. Each such right, power and remedy,
whether specifically granted herein or otherwise existing, may be exercised at
any time and from time to time and as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by the Assignee in its sole discretion.

     6.3.  Public Sale. In the event of any disposition of the Collateral as
           -----------
provided in (S)6.1(c), the Assignee shall give to the Assignor at least ten (10)
Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of
the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition is to be made. The Assignor hereby acknowledges that ten (10)
Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable
notice. The Assignee may enforce its rights hereunder without any other notice
and without compliance with any other condition precedent now or hereafter
imposed by law, regulation, judicial order or decree or otherwise (all of which
are hereby expressly waived by the Assignor, to the fullest extent permitted by
law). The Assignee may buy any part or all of the Collateral at any public sale
and if any part or all of the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a
recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely-distributed
standard price quotations, the Assignee may buy at private sale and may make
payments thereof by any means. The Assignee may apply the cash proceeds actually
received from any sale or other disposition to the reasonable expenses of
retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, and the like, to reasonable
attorneys' fees, travel, and all other expenses which may be incurred by the
Assignee in attempting to collect the Obligations or to enforce this Assignment
or in the prosecution or defense of any case or proceeding related to this
Assignment, and then to the Obligations in accordance with the requirements of
the Credit
<PAGE>

                                      -12-

Agreement with any surplus being applied as set forth in (S)13.4 of the Credit
Agreement. To the extent that any of the Obligations are to be paid or performed
by a person or entity other than the Assignor, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Assignor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or
privileges which it may have under (S)9-112 of the Uniform Commercial Code of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

     6.4.  Private Sale. The Assignor recognizes that the Assignee may be
           ------------
unable to effect a public sale of the Collateral by reason of the lack of a
ready market for the Collateral, of the limited number of potential buyers of
the Collateral or of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of
1933, state securities laws, federal banking laws, and other applicable laws,
and that the Assignee may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof to a restricted group of purchasers. The Assignor agrees that any such
private sales may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than
if sold at public sales and that such private sales shall not solely by reason
thereof be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The
Assignee shall be under no obligation hereunder or otherwise (except as provided
by applicable law) to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of
time necessary to permit the registration of such securities for public sale
under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws. Any such
sale of all or a portion of the Collateral may be for cash or on credit or for
future delivery and may be conducted at a private sale where the Assignee or any
other person or entity may be the purchaser of all or part of the Assigned
Interests so sold. The Assignor agrees that to the extent notice of sale shall
be required by law, at least ten (10) Business Days prior notice to the Assignor
of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private
sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Subject to the
foregoing, the Assignee agrees that any sale of the Assigned Interests shall be
made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Assignee shall incur no liability
as a result of the sale of any of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any
private sale which complies with the requirements of this (S)6.4. The Assignor
hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any claims against the
Assignee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, may have been sold at such private sale was
less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the
Assignee accepts the first offer deemed by the Assignee in good faith deemed to
be commercially reasonable under the circumstances and does not offer any of the
Collateral to more than one offeree.

     6.5.  Title. The Assignor further acknowledges its obligation for payment
           -----
of any deficiency remaining beyond the amount of the sale price of the Assigned
Interests, or any of them, less any payment or expenses incurred by the Assignee
in connection with such sale, and the Assignor will promptly pay the amount of
any such deficiency to the Assignee. Nothing contained in this Assignment shall
be construed to require the Assignee to take any action with respect to the
Assigned Interests, whether by way of foreclosure or otherwise and except as
required by the Partnership Agreement, in order to permit the Assignee to become
a substitute limited partner of the Partnership under the Partnership Agreement.

                                      -13-

                   7.  ASSIGNMENT NOT AFFECTED BY OTHER ACTS.
                       -------------------------------------

     The Assignor acknowledges and agrees that the security interests and
collateral assignments herein provided for shall remain in full force and effect
and shall not be impaired by any acceptance by the Assignee of any other
collateral security for or guaranty of any of the Obligations, or by any failure
or neglect or omission on the part of the Assignee to realize upon, collect or
protect any Obligations or any Collateral.  The security interests and
collateral assignments herein provided for shall not in any manner be affected
or impaired by any renewal, extension, modification, amendment, waiver, or
restatement of any of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor, or
of any guaranty thereof.  In order to sell, dispose or otherwise realize upon
the security interests and assignments herein granted and provided for, and
exercise the rights granted the Assignee hereunder and under applicable law,
there shall be no obligation on the part of the Assignee at any time to first
resort for payment to any guarantors of the Obligations or any part thereof or
to resort to any other collateral security, property, liens or other rights or
remedies whatsoever, and the Assignee shall have the right to enforce the
security interests and collateral assignments herein provided for irrespective
of whether or not other proceedings are pending for realization upon or from any
of the foregoing.

                          8.  REGISTRATION AND FILING.
                              -----------------------

     The Assignor (i) has caused the Partnership to duly register the security
interests granted hereby on the books of the Partnership as required by (S)(S)8-
108, 8-313 and 8-321 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and has furnished the Assignee with evidence thereof (including,
without limitation, appropriate initial transaction statements), in form and
substance satisfactory to the Assignee, (ii) has duly executed and caused any
financing statements with respect to the Assigned Interests to be filed in such
a manner and in such places as may be required by law in order to fully protect
the rights of the Assignee hereunder, and (iii) will cause any financing
statements with respect to the Assigned Interests at all times to be kept
recorded and filed at its own expense in such a manner and in such places as may
be required by law in order to fully perfect the interests and protect the
rights of the Assignee hereunder.

                               9.  MISCELLANEOUS.
                                   -------------

     9.1.  Additional Instruments and Assurances. The Assignor hereby agrees,
           -------------------------------------
at its own expense, to execute and deliver, from time to time, any and all
further, or other, instruments, and to perform such acts, as the Assignee may
reasonably request to effect the purposes of this Assignment and to secure to
the Assignee the benefits of all rights and remedies conferred upon the Assignee
by the terms of this Assignment.

     9.2.  Release. If and only if all of the Obligations shall have been
           -------
indefeasibly paid, performed, and discharged in full in cash, any commitments to
lend under the Credit Agreement shall have been canceled, the Assignee shall,
upon
<PAGE>

                                      -14-

demand and at the sole expense of the Assignor, release this Assignment and the
lien hereof by proper instrument or instruments, at the request and expense of
the Assignor.

     9.3.  Assignee's Exoneration. Under no circumstances shall the Assignee
           ----------------------
be deemed to assume any responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to
any part or all of the Collateral of any nature or kind or any matter or
proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, other than (i) to exercise
reasonable care in the physical custody of the Collateral and (ii) if an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to act in a commercially
reasonable manner in exercising its rights and remedies with respect to the
Collateral. Subject to the foregoing, the Assignee shall not be required to take
any action of any kind to collect, preserve or protect its or the Assignor's
rights in the Collateral.

     9.4.  No Waiver, etc. Any term of this Assignment may be amended or
           ---------------
modified with, but only with, the written consent of the Assignor and the
Assignee. Any term of this Assignment may be waived by a writing executed by the
party to be charged with such waiver. No act, failure, or delay by the Assignee
shall constitute a waiver of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No
single or partial waiver by the Assignee of any default, right, or remedy that
it may have shall operate as a waiver of any other default, right, or remedy or
of the same default, right, or remedy on a future occasion.

     9.5.  Waiver By Assignor. The Assignor hereby waives presentment, notice
           ------------------
of dishonor, and protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the
Obligations or the Collateral, and any and all other notices and demands
whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein or in the Credit Agreement or
for notices required in connection with judicial proceedings).

     9.6.  Notice, etc. All notices, requests, and other communications
           ------------
hereunder shall be made and effective in the manner and at the address set forth

principal set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     9.8.  Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. THIS ASSIGNMENT IS INTENDED
           --------------------------------------
TO TAKE EFFECT AS A SEALED INSTRUMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.  The
Assignor agrees that any proceeding for the enforcement of this Assignment may
be brought in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal
court sitting therein and consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such
court and to service of process in any such proceeding being made upon the
Assignor by mail at the address specified in (S)9.6. The Assignor hereby waives
any objection that it may now or hereafter have
<PAGE>

                                      -15-

to the venue of any such proceeding or any such court or that such proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient court.

     9.9.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY
           --------------------
TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION

ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS.

     9.10.  Limitation of Liability. Except as prohibited by applicable law,
            -----------------------
each of the Assignor and assignee waives any right which it may have to claim or
recover in any proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence any special,
exemplary, or punitive damages or any damages other than, or in addition to,
actual or consequential damages. The Assignor (i) certifies that neither the
Assignee nor any representative, agent, or attorney of the Assignee has
represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Assignee would not, in the event
of any proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (ii) acknowledges
that, in entering into the Credit Agreement, and the other Revolver Loan
Documents to which the Assignee is a party, the Assignee is relying upon, among
other things, the waivers and certifications contained in this (S)9.10.

     9.11.  Severability and Enforceability. All provisions hereof are
            -------------------------------
severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any of such provisions shall
in no manner affect or impair the validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof.

     9.12.  Successors and Assigns. This Assignment shall be binding upon the
            ----------------------
Assignor and upon the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the
Assignor and shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee and its successors and
assigns.

     9.13.  Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in any number of

            ----------------
and any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith express the

governed by this Assignment, provided that, the provisions of the Existing
