          Collateral;

     6.5  Except as permitted by this Agreement, Pledgor shall not exercise any

          (i)   impose any additional restrictions upon the sale, transfer or
                disposition of the Collateral other than restrictions, if any,

                the Lender as to the Collateral; or

          (ii)  result in the issuance of any additional interest in any of the
                investment entities listed on Exhibit A, or of any class of
                security, which issuance could reasonably be expected to
                materially adversely affect the value of the Collateral; or

          (iii) vest additional powers, privileges, preferences or priorities in
                any other class of interest in any of the investment entities
                listed on Exhibit A to the material detriment of the value of or
                rights accruing to the Collateral; or

          (iv)  permit any of the investment entities listed on Exhibit A to
                sell, transfer, assign, pledge, mortgage, or otherwise encumber
                any property, assets or investments owned by such entity, or to
                incur any new Indebtedness;

     6.7  Pledgor shall not enter into or consent to any amendment or
          modification of or with respect to the governing documents of any of
          the investment entities listed on Exhibit A which could reasonably be
          expected to materially adversely affect the value of the Collateral
          without the prior written consent of the Lender in each


                                      -3-



          instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
          conditioned or delayed;

     6.8  Insofar as the same may be material or significant to the Lender's
          interests, Pledgor shall perform in all material respects all of its
          obligations as a partner, member or shareholder of each of the
          investment entities listed on Exhibit A and shall enforce, to the
          extent provided for it in the governing documents of such entities all
          of the obligations of the other shareholders, partners or members of
          such entity;

     6.9  Pledgor shall not itself or on behalf of any investment entities

          violation of any provisions of the Loan Documents;

          in order to insure that all of the Obligations of Pledgor under the
          Loan Documents are punctually and faithfully paid and performed in the

          Pledgor, in its good faith determination, believes constitutes a
          default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents,
          specifying the nature and existence thereof. Such notification shall
          include a written statement of any remedial or curative actions which
          Pledgor proposes to undertake to cure or remedy such default or Event
          of Default;

     6.12 Pledgor agrees so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding,

          Default, the Lender may exercise any one or more of the rights and
          remedies as hereinafter set forth or as set forth and provided for in
          each of the other Loan Documents.

     7.2  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the cure of
          such Event of Default (if cured prior to an acceleration of the
          Maturity Date by the Lender) and the reimbursement by Pledgor of all
          expenses incurred by the Lender resulting from such Event of Default,
          Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights to receive
          cash dividends and distributions, consent, vote, approve, elect,
          determine, consult, propose, agree, and all other rights or
          prerogatives, if any, pertaining to the Collateral or any part
          thereof, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Promissory
          Note and other Loan Documents.

                                     -6-



8. After Event of Default

     8.1  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
          Default, and at any time the Lender shall have all of the rights and
          remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial
          Code as adopted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in addition to
          which the Lender may sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or
          any portion thereof and/or enforce and collect the Collateral or any
          portion thereof (including, without limitation, the liquidation of
          debt instruments or securities and the exercise of conversion rights
          with respect to convertible securities, whether or not such
          instruments or securities have matured, and whether or not any
          penalties or other charges are imposed on account of such action) for
          application towards (but not necessarily in complete satisfaction of)
          the Obligations. The proceeds of any such collection or of any such
          sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any portion thereof
          shall be applied as the Lender shall determine. Pledgor shall remain
          liable to the Lender for any deficiency remaining following such
          application. Any surplus remaining after payment in full of all
          Obligations shall be paid over to Pledgor or to whomsoever may be
          lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

     8.2  Unless the Collateral is perishable, threatens to decline speedily in
          value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in
          which event the Lender shall give Pledgor such notice as may be
          practicable under the circumstances), the Lender shall give Pledgor at
          least the greater of the minimum notice required by law or ten (10)
          days' prior written notice of the date, time and place of any public
          sale thereof, or of the time after which any private sale or any other
          intended disposition is to be made.

     8.3  Pledgor acknowledges that any exercise by the Lender of Lender's
          rights upon an Event of Default will be subject to compliance by the
          Lender with the applicable statutes, regulations, ordinances,
          directives and orders of any federal, state, municipal or other
          governmental authority including, without limitation, any of the
          foregoing which may restrict the sale or disposition of securities.
          The Lender in its sole discretion, but in good faith, at any such sale
          or in connection with any such disposition may restrict the
          prospective bidders or purchasers as to the nature of business,
          investment intention, or otherwise, including, without limitation, a
          requirement that the persons making such purchases represent and agree
          to the satisfaction of the Lender that they are purchasing the
          Collateral, or some portion thereof, for their own account, for
          investment and not with a view towards the distribution or a sale
          thereof, or that they otherwise fall within some lawful exemption from
          registration under applicable laws.

9. Actions By the Lender. Pledgor hereby appoints the Lender, or any agent
designated by the Lender, as the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor after an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing to: (a) endorse in favor of the Lender
any of the Collateral; (b) cause the transfer of any of the Collateral in such
name as the Lender may from time to time determine; (c) renew, extend or roll
over any Collateral; (d) make, demand and initiate actions to enforce any of the
Collateral or rights therein; and (e) file financing statements, continuation
statements, and amendments thereto describing the Collateral without the
signature of Pledgor. The Lender may


                                      -7-



take such action with respect to the Collateral as the Lender may reasonably
determine to be necessary to protect and preserve its interest in the
Collateral. The Lender shall also have and may exercise at any time after an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing all rights, remedies, powers,
privileges and discretions of Pledgor with respect to and under the Collateral.
The within designation and grant of power of attorney is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable until this Pledge and Security Agreement is
terminated by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of the
Lender or until all Obligations have been paid or fulfilled and the obligation
of the Lender to make Loans under the Promissory Note has terminated. The power
of attorney under this Section 9 shall not be affected by subsequent disability
or incapacity of Pledgor. The Lender shall not be liable for any act or omission
to act pursuant to this Section 9, except for any act or omission to act which
constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10. Rights and Remedies. The rights, remedies, powers, privileges and
discretions of the Lender hereunder (hereinafter, the "Rights and Remedies")
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers,
privileges or discretions which it may otherwise have. No delay or omission by
the Lender in exercising or enforcing any of the Rights and Remedies shall
operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Lender of any
default or any Event of Default or of any default under any other Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver of any other default or Event of Default or of any
other default under any Loan Document. No exercise of any Rights and Remedies
shall preclude any other exercise of the Rights and Remedies. No waiver by the
Lender of any of the Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a
waiver on any subsequent occasion nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.
All Rights and Remedies and all of the Lender's rights, remedies, powers,
privileges and discretions under any other agreement or transaction in respect
of the Collateral are cumulative and not alternative or exclusive and may be
exercised by the Lender at such time or times in such order of preference as the
Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine.

11. Pledgor's Consent and Waiver. Pledgor hereby agrees that the Lender may
enforce its rights as against Pledgor or the Collateral, or as against any other
party liable for the Obligations, or as against any other collateral given for
any of the Obligations, in any order or in such combination as the Lender may in
its sole discretion determine, and Pledgor hereby expressly waives all

12. Lender May Assign. Pledgor agrees that upon any sale or transfer by the
Lender of the Loan Documents and the indebtedness evidenced thereby that is
permitted under the Promissory Note, the Lender may deliver the Collateral
disposed of as part of such a sale or transfer to the purchaser or transferee,
who shall thereupon become vested with all powers and rights given to the Lender
in respect thereto, and the Lender shall be thereafter forever relieved and
fully discharged from any liability or responsibility in connection therewith.

13. Limits on Lender's Duties. The Lender shall not have any duty as to the
collection or protection of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or any
income or distribution thereon, beyond the safe custody of such Collateral as
may come into the actual possession of the Lender and the accounting for monies
actually received by the Lender hereunder, and the Lender shall not have any
duty as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto. The Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care
in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession of such
Collateral is accorded treatment equal to that which is accords its own
property. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an undertaking by the
Lender of any of the liabilities or obligations of Pledgor as pledgor or any
other shareholder, member or partner of any of the investment entities listed on
Exhibit A, including but not limited to, the obligation to make contributions to
capital or the obligation to make any other payment to, for or on behalf of
Pledgor. The Lender's rights and obligations in respect of the Pledged Interests

termination or expiration of the any obligation of the Lender to make loans
under the Promissory Note, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such payment
and termination or expiration, the Lender will, at Pledgor's sole expense,
deliver to Pledgor all certificates and instruments, if any, evidencing the
Collateral held by the Lender hereunder, and execute and deliver to Pledgor such
documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

          warranties herein made by Pledgor shall inure to the benefit of the

                                      -9-



     15.4  No modification, amendment or waiver of any provisions of this
           Agreement shall be effective unless executed in writing by the party

           of instruments constituting the Collateral, the Lender may destroy
           the original from which any document was so reproduced. Any such
           reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself
           in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the
           original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was
           made in the regular course of business) and any enlargement,
           facsimile or further reproduction shall be likewise admissible in
           evidence.

           shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any
           provision hereof.

     15.7  Each provision hereof shall be enforceable to the fullest extent
           permitted by applicable law. The invalidity and unenforceability of
           any provision(s) hereof shall not impair or affect any other
           provision(s) hereof which are valid and enforceable.

     15.8  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
           when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together
           shall constitute one instrument. In making proof of this Agreement,
           it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one
           such counterpart which is executed by the party against whom
           enforcement of such agreement is sought.

     15.9  Any demand, notice or request by either party to the other shall be
           given in the manner provided therefor in the Promissory Note.

           and the Promissory Note, the Promissory Note shall govern.

     15.11 This Agreement shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied
           and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
           Massachusetts without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
