Collateral or any of the Debtor's rights therein, except that so long as the

liability, whether or not entitled to priority over the Secured Party's security
interest hereunder. In any such event, whether or not such notice is given, the
Secured Party shall (unless such lien, assessment,


                                       4
<PAGE>   6

tax or other liability is the subject of an appeal by the Debtor and an
appropriate bond has been posted to stay the effect of any resulting lien) have
the right (but shall be under no obligation) to pay any tax or other liability
of the Debtor deemed by the Secured Party in good faith to affect the Secured
Party's interests hereunder. The Debtor shall repay to the Secured Party on
demand all sums which the Secured Party shall have paid under this section in
respect of taxes or other liabilities of the Debtor, with interest thereon at
the Interest Rate, and the Debtor's liability to the Secured Party for such
repayment with interest shall be included in the Liabilities. The Secured Party
shall be subrogated to the extent of any such payment by it to all the rights
and liens of the payee against the Debtor's assets. The Debtor shall furnish to
the Secured Party from time to time upon the Secured party's request proof
satisfactory to the Secured Party of the making of all payments or deposits
required by applicable law to be made with respect to amounts withheld by the
Debtor from wages and salaries of employees and amounts contributed by the
Debtor on account of federal, state or other income or wage taxes and amounts
due under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or the Federal Unemployment
Tax Act or any similar legislation.

7.    Insurance.

      The Debtor shall bear all risk of loss, destruction and damage to any and
all of the Inventory and Equipment from any cause whatsoever at any time during
the term of this Agreement, and shall at its own cost and expense obtain and
keep in full force and effect, in kind and form reasonably satisfactory to the
Secured Party and with insurers of recognized standing in the financial
community or otherwise approved by the Secured Party, all risk of physical loss
or damage insurance covering the Inventory and Equipment wherever the same may
be, insuring against the risks of fire, explosion, theft and such other risks as
are customarily insured against by corporations engaged in the same business and
similarly situated with the Debtor (and specifically including vandalism,
malicious mischief coverage), in an amount or amounts usually carried by
corporations engaged in the same business and similarly situated with the
Debtor. All policies of such insurance shall be written for the benefit of the
Debtor and the Secured Party as the insureds, shall bear an endorsement in form
satisfactory to the Secured Party naming the Secured Party and the Debtor as
loss payees, as their respective interests may appear, and shall provide for at
least thirty (30) days' advance written notice to the Secured Party of any
cancellation. The Secured Party and the Debtor agree that all insurance proceeds
shall be payable to the Debtor if at the time of such payment no Event of
Default then exists and the Debtor delivers to the Secured Party a certificate
to such effect. If the Debtor fails to pay any premium on any such insurance,
the Secured Party shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay
such premium for the Debtor's account. The Debtor shall repay to the Secured
Party on demand all sums which the Secured Party shall have paid under this
section in respect of insurance premiums, with interest thereon at the Interest
Rate, and the


                                       5
<PAGE>   7

Debtor's liability to the Secured Party for such repayment with interest shall
be included in the Liabilities. The Debtor hereby assigns to the Secured Party
any return of unearned premium which may be due upon the cancellation for any
reason whatsoever of any policy of insurance maintained in respect of the
Collateral and hereby directs the insurer to pay the Secured Party any amount so
due, except that the Secured Party shall have no right to any such amount unless
and until there exists an Event of Default. The Debtor's rights to receive
payment of any such return or unearned premium and the proceeds of any such
insurance shall constitute a part of the Collateral for all purposes hereof.

8.    Control of and Access to Inventory and Equipment, Etc.

      The Debtor shall maintain possession and control of its Inventory and
Equipment at all times, provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
the Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of such Inventory and
Equipment or any portion thereof, and for the purpose of taking custody of the
Debtor's Inventory the Debtor agrees that upon request of the Secured Party it
will lease warehousing space in the Debtor's own premises to the Secured Party
and will erect such structures and post such signs as the Secured Party may
require in order to place such Inventory under the exclusive control of the
Secured Party. Notwithstanding any taking of possession by the Secured Party of
any Inventory or Equipment, the same shall remain at all times at the Debtor's
sole risk, and to the full extent permitted by law the Secured Party shall not
be responsible for any loss, damage or diminution in the value thereof. If any
of the Debtor's Inventory or Equipment is or becomes evidenced by a Document of
Title, the Secured Party may require the Debtor to promptly deliver the same to
the Secured Party appropriately endorsed to the order of the Secured Party. All
costs of transportation, packaging, custody, processing, storage, insurance and
salvage of any unit or item of the Debtor's Inventory or Equipment which may be
incurred by the Secured Party shall be promptly repaid to the Secured Party by
the Debtor together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, and the Debtor's
liability to the Secured Party for such repayment with interest shall be
included in the Liabilities. If any item or unit of the Equipment is now or
hereafter the subject of a certificate of title or is required by law so to be,
upon request of the Secured Party the Debtor will take all steps necessary to
cause the Secured Party's lien or security interest therein to be noted on the
face of such certificate and shall thereafter deposit the original of such
certificate of title with the Secured Party. The Debtor will afford the Secured
Party's agents access to the Debtor's Inventory and to each item or unit of the
Debtor's Equipment from time to time upon request for purposes of examination,
inspection and appraisal and to verify the Debtor's records pertaining thereto.

9.    Notices of Loss, etc.

      The Debtor will immediately notify the Secured Party of any of the
following: (i) any event causing any deterioration, loss or depreciation in
value of any material item, unit or portion of the Debtor's Equipment and of the
amount thereof; (ii) any event causing any material deterioration, loss or
depreciation in value of the Debtor's Inventory and the amount thereof; or (iii)
any material adverse change in the financial condition of any Account Debtor
whose total outstanding Accounts due the Debtor exceeds $25,000 or any material
adverse change in the collectibility of the Accounts taken as a whole.

10.   Accounts and Contract Rights.

      (a) The Secured Party hereby authorizes the Debtor to collect all Accounts
from the Account Debtors. The authority hereby given to the Debtor to collect
the Proceeds of Accounts may be terminated by the Secured Party at any time. The
Secured Party shall have the right at any time, acting if it so chooses in the
Debtor's name, to collect the Debtor's Accounts itself, to sell, assign,
compromise, discharge or extend the time for payment of any Account, to
institute legal action for the collection of any Account, and to do all acts and
things necessary or incidental thereto. The Debtor hereby ratifies all that the
Secured Party shall do by virtue hereof. The Secured Party may at any time,
without notice to the Debtor, notify any Account Debtor that the Account payable
by such Account Debtor has been assigned to the Secured Party and is to be paid
directly to the Secured Party. At the Secured Party's request the Debtor shall
so notify Account Debtors and shall indicate on all billings to Account Debtors
that payments thereon are to be made to the Secured Party. Without the written
consent of the Secured Party the Debtor shall not compromise, discharge, extend
the time for payment of or otherwise grant any indulgence or allowance with
respect to any Account.

      (b) If any of the Debtor's Accounts or Contract Rights arises out of a
contract with the United States or any department, agency or instrumentality
thereof, the Debtor will immediately notify the Secured Party thereof in writing
and execute any instruments and take any steps required by the Secured Party in
order that the security interest of the Secured Party hereunder in the Debtor's
Contract Right under such contract and in all Accounts arising thereunder and in
the Proceeds thereof shall be perfected under the provisions of the Federal
Assignment of Claims Act.

      (c) If any of the Debtor's Accounts is or becomes evidenced by a
promissory note, a trade acceptance or any other instrument for the payment of
money, the Debtor will promptly provide notice to the Secured Party of such
instrument and, upon the written request of the Secured Party, will promptly
deliver such instrument to the Secured Party appropriately endorsed to the order
of the Secured Party. Regardless of the form of such


                                       7
<PAGE>   9

endorsement, the Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor,
protest and notice of protest and all other notices with respect thereto.

11.   Significant Locations.

      The Debtor represents and warrants to the Secured Party as follows: (i)
none of the Debtor's Equipment constitutes goods of a type normally used in more
than one jurisdiction for purposes of Section 9-103 of the Uniform Commercial
Code; (ii) the chief executive office of the Debtor is located at 11 Hurley
Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and such chief executive office, along with
the offices listed on Schedule 3 hereto, are the only locations where the Debtor
maintains a place of business and where the Debtor maintains the records with
respect to the Collateral; (iii) such locations are the only locations where the
Debtor stores or processes Inventory; and (iv) such locations are the only
locations where the Debtor keeps Equipment. The Debtor will notify the Secured
Party in writing prior to any change in the locations specified above and will
reimburse the Secured Party for the costs of any additional Uniform Commercial
Code filings requested by the Secured Party as a result thereof. If any of the
Collateral or any of the Debtor's records concerning any of the Collateral are
at any time to be located on premises leased by the Debtor, or any premises
owned by the Debtor subject to a mortgage or other lien, the Debtor will provide
notice of such intent to the Secured Party not less than 30 days prior to the
delivery of any such Collateral or records to such premises, and, upon the
written request of the Secured Party, the Debtor will promptly obtain and
deliver to the Secured Party an agreement in form satisfactory to the Secured
Party waiving the landlord's, mortgagee's or other lienholder's right to enforce
against the Debtor any claims for monies due under the lease, mortgage or other
lien by levy or distraint or other proceedings against the Collateral or the
Debtor's records concerning the same and assuring the Secured Party's access to
such Collateral and records to facilitate the Secured Party's exercise of its
rights to take possession thereof. The Debtor agrees to notify the Secured Party
promptly in the event of a change in the location of any place of business or
the establishment of any additional place of business of the Debtor.

12.   Further Assurances.

      The Debtor will execute and deliver to the Secured Party from time to time
all such other agreements, instruments and other documents (including without
limitation all requested financing and continuation statements) and do all such
other further acts and things as the Secured Party may reasonably request in
order to further evidence or carry out the intent of this Agreement or to

                                       8
<PAGE>   10

13.   Default and Remedies.

      The Debtor shall be in default hereunder upon the occurrence of an "Event
of Default" as defined in the Promissory Note.

      Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which shall be continuing, (i)
unless the Secured Party shall elect otherwise, the entire unpaid amount of such
of the Liabilities as are not then otherwise due and payable shall become
immediately due and payable as provided in the Promissory Note and (ii) the
Secured Party may at its option exercise from time to time any and all rights
and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise,
including the right to collect, assemble, receipt for, adjust, modify, repair,
refurnish or refurbish (but without any obligation to do so) or foreclose or
otherwise realize upon any of the Collateral and to dispose of any of the
Collateral at one or more public or private sales or other proceedings, and the
Debtor agrees that the Secured Party or its nominee may become the purchaser at
any such sale or sales. The Debtor agrees that thirty (30) days shall be
reasonable prior notice of the date of any public sale or other disposition of
all or any part of the Collateral, or of the date on or after which any private
sale or other disposition of the same may be made. All rights and remedies
granted the Secured Party hereunder or under any other agreement between the
Secured Party and the Debtor shall be deemed concurrent and cumulative and not
alternative, and the Secured Party may proceed with any number of remedies at
the same time or at different times until all the Liabilities are fully
satisfied. The exercise of any one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver
or release of or an election against any other right or remedy, and the Secured
Party may proceed against the Collateral and any other Collateral granted by the
Debtor to the Secured Party under any other agreement, all in any order and
through any available remedies. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be
construed as a waiver or bar on any future occasion. All property of any kind
held at any time by the Secured Party as Collateral shall stand as one general
continuing collateral security for all the Liabilities and may be retained by
the Secured Party as security until all the Liabilities are fully satisfied. The
Debtor will pay to the Secured Party on demand any and all expenses (including
attorneys' fees and legal expenses) which may have been incurred by the Secured
Party with interest at the Interest Rate (i) in the prosecution or defense of
any action growing out of or connected with the subject matter of this
Agreement, the Liabilities, the Collateral or any of the Secured Party's rights
therein or thereto; or (ii) in connection with the custody, preservation, use,
operation, preparation for sale or sale of any of the Collateral, the incurring
of all of which are hereby authorized to the extent the Secured Party deems the
same advisable. The Debtor's liability to the Secured Party for any such payment
with interest shall be included in the Liabilities. The enumeration of specific
Events of Default under the Promissory Note shall not compromise the demand
character of any Liability which by its terms is payable on demand and demand
may be made thereon at any time irrespective of the non-occurrence of any such
Event of Default, any provision hereof to the


                                       9
<PAGE>   11

contrary notwithstanding. The Proceeds of any Collateral received by the Secured
Party at any time before or after default, whether from a sale or other
disposition of Collateral or otherwise, or the Collateral itself, may be applied
to the payment in full or in part of such of the Liabilities and in such order
and manner as the Secured Party may elect. The Debtor to the extent of its
rights in the Collateral waives and releases any right to require the Secured
Party to collect any of the Liabilities from any other of the Collateral or any
other collateral then held by the Secured Party under any theory of marshalling
of assets or otherwise.

14.   Power of Attorney.

      The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints any officer, employee or agent of
the Secured Party as the Debtor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact with power,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to (i) endorse the Debtor's name
upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment
that may come into the Secured Party's possession and which constitute proceeds
of any Collateral; (ii) sign and endorse the Debtor's name upon any documents of
title, invoices, freight or express bills, assignments, verifications and
notices in connection with any of the Collateral, and any instruments or
documents relating thereto or to the Debtor's rights therein; and (iii) execute
in the Debtor's name and file one or more financing statements covering the
Collateral. Any such attorney of the Debtor shall have full power to do any and
all things necessary to be done with respect to the above transactions as fully
and effectually as the Debtor might do, and the Debtor hereby ratifies all that
said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

additional Liabilities, shall give written notice to the Secured Party of its
