Seller does hereby release and discharge the General partner and their officers,
shareholders, employees and agents from all actions, causes of actions, claims
or demands Seller has, or may have, against the General partner that result from
the General partner's reliance on this Agreement or any of the terms and
conditions contained herein. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchaser
and the Partnership harmless from and against, and to reimburse the Purchaser
and/or the Partnership on demand, for any damage, loss, cost or expense
(including attorneys' fees and costs of investigation incurred in defending
against and/or settling such damage, loss, cost or expense) reasonably incurred
by the Purchaser and/or the Partnership arising out of or in connection with any
misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or failure to perform or violation of any
agreement or covenant on the part of the Seller under this Agreement.
All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death
or incapacity of the Seller and any obligations of the Seller shall be binding
upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the
undersigned. THIS AGREEMENT IS IRREVOCABLE AND MAY NOT BE WITHDRAWN FOLLOWING

therefor.
The Seller hereby certifies, under penalties of perjury, that (i) the tax
identification number shown on this form is the Seller's correct Taxpayer
Identification Number; and (ii) Seller is not subject to backup withholding

no longer subject to backup withholding.
The Seller hereby also certifies, under penalties of perjury, that the Seller,
if an individual, is not a nonresident alien for purposes of U.S. income
taxation, and if not an individual, is not a foreign corporation, foreign

this certification may be disclosed to the IRS by the Purchaser and that any
false statements contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or
both.
The undersigned recognizes that, if proration is required pursuant to the terms
of the Offer, the Purchaser will accept for payment from among those Units
validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not properly withdrawn,
the maximum number of Units permitted pursuant to the Offer on a pro rata basis.
The undersigned understands that a tender of Units to the Purchaser will
constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned recognizes
that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the
Purchaser may not be required to accept for payment any of the Units tendered
hereby. In such event, the undersigned understands that any Agreement for Units
not accepted for payment will be destroyed by the Purchaser.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Seller waives any claim that any court in
Massachusetts is an inconvenient forum, and waives any right to trial by jury.

the number of Units set forth below. By its own or its Authorized Signatory's
signature below, the Seller hereby assigns its entire right, title and interest
in the Units set forth below to the Purchaser.

partner that the Seller desires to assign the Units referenced herein and hereby
directs the General partner to take all such actions as are necessary to
accomplish such assignment, and appoints the General partner the agent and
attorney-in-fact of the Limited Partner, to execute, swear to, acknowledge and
file any document or amend the books and records of the Partnership as necessary
or appropriate for the assignment of the withdrawal of the Limited Partner.
Each of the Parties hereto agrees to promptly execute and deliver any and all
further agreements, documents or instruments necessary to effectuate this
Agreement and the transaction referred to herein or reasonably requested by the
other party to perfect or evidence its or his rights hereunder.
Should either party hereto commence any proceeding to enforce the provisions of
this Agreement, then and in such event, the prevailing party in any such
proceeding or action shall be entitled to reimbursement of its or his costs,
including attorney's fees, incurred in the investigation and prosecution of such
proceeding or action. The parties agree that the proper venue for any such
action shall be in the County of Middlesex, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and

Federal courts of or in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, County of Middlesex
in connection with any proceeding or action brought under this Assignment.
Any provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any
