ITEM 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Charter") generally limits the liability of the Registrant's Directors to the
Registrant to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by Delaware law.
The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits, but does not require,
a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, and
expressly provides that the indemnification provided for under the DGCL shall
not be deemed exclusive of any indemnification right under any By-law, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The DGCL permits
indemnification against expenses and certain other liabilities arising out of
legal actions brought or threatened against such persons for their conduct on
behalf of a corporation; provided, however, that each such person acted in good
faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed was in or not opposed to such
corporation's best interests and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The DGCL does not
allow indemnification of directors in the case of an action by or in the right
of a corporation (including stockholder derivative suits) unless the directors
successfully defend the action or indemnification is ordered by the court.

     The Charter provides that directors and executive officers of the
Registrant shall be and, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, other
officers and non-officer employees, may be indemnified by the Registrant to the
fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future
be amended, against all expenses and liabilities actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of the Registrant. The
By-laws also provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification
shall be a contract right and shall not be exclusive of any other right now
possessed or hereafter acquired under any By-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders, or otherwise. The Charter contains a provision permitted by
Delaware law that generally eliminates the personal liability of directors for
monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty, including breaches
involving negligence or gross negligence in business combinations, unless the
director has breached his or her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith,
engaged in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, paid a dividend
or approved a stock repurchase in violation of the DGCL or obtained an improper
personal benefit. The provision does not alter a director's liability under the
Federal securities laws. In addition, this provision does not affect the
availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for
breach of fiduciary duty.

ITEM 7.    EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 8.    EXHIBITS.

ITEM 9.    UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the Registration Statement or any material change in such information in the
Registration Statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that is incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered 



<PAGE>   5



therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 of this Registration
Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the Town of Canton, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on November
24, 1998.

ITEM 6.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     The Registrant's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Charter") generally limits the liability of the Registrant's Directors to the
Registrant to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by Delaware law.
The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits, but does not require,
a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, and
expressly provides that the indemnification provided for under the DGCL shall
not be deemed exclusive of any indemnification right under any By-law, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The DGCL permits
indemnification against expenses and certain other liabilities arising out of
legal actions brought or threatened against such persons for their conduct on
behalf of a corporation; provided, however, that each such person acted in good
faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed was in or not opposed to such
corporation's best interests and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The DGCL does not
allow indemnification of directors in the case of an action by or in the right
of a corporation (including stockholder derivative suits) unless the directors
successfully defend the action or indemnification is ordered by the court.

     The Charter provides that directors and executive officers of the
Registrant shall be and, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, other
officers and non-officer employees, may be indemnified by the Registrant to the
fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future
be amended, against all expenses and liabilities actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with service for or on behalf of the Registrant. The
By-laws also provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification
shall be a contract right and shall not be exclusive of any other right now
possessed or hereafter acquired under any By-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders, or otherwise. The Charter contains a provision permitted by
Delaware law that generally eliminates the personal liability of directors for
monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty, including breaches
involving negligence or gross negligence in business combinations, unless the
director has breached his or her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith,
engaged in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, paid a dividend
or approved a stock repurchase in violation of the DGCL or obtained an improper
personal benefit. The provision does not alter a director's liability under the
Federal securities laws. In addition, this provision does not affect the
availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for
breach of fiduciary duty.

ITEM 7.    EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 9.    UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the Registration Statement or any material change in such information in the
Registration Statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that is incorporated
by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered
5

therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 of this Registration
Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant

requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the Town of Canton, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on November
24, 1998.
