            Documents or Assignor's right to receive the Partnership
            Distributions, (c) the document or documents attached hereto as
            Exhibit A constitute a true, correct and complete copy of the

            including, without limitation, any and all consents from the
            Partnerships.

      3.    Assignor hereby covenants and agrees to take any and all steps
            deemed reasonably necessary by Assignee in order to assist Assignee
            in collecting the Partnership Distributions and otherwise receiving
            the benefits of this Agreement.

      4.    This Agreement (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
            the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, (b)
            shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,

                                    ---------

                                    EXHIBIT B
                                    ---------

                              (sample calculation)

      If the Interest Factor is 0.00022 (based on a Chase Prime Rate of 8%, and
a 360 day year), and the Partnerships make their first distributions to Assignor
on the date that is 100 days after the date of this Assignment in the amount of
$2,000,000, Assignee shall be entitled to the first $1,737,400 of such
distributions, and Assignor shall be entitled to retain the balance.

      (a) = $1,700,000
      (b) = (i) $1,700,000 x (ii) 0.00022 x (iii) 100 days = $37,400

      (a) + (b) = $1,700,000 + $37,400 = $1,737,400
