permitted by Massachusetts law and required by its By-Laws to indemnify each
Director, officer and employee of the Registrant or any subsidiary of the
Registrant, each former Director, officer and employee of the Registrant or any
subsidiary of the Registrant, and each person who serves or has served at the
request of the Registrant or any subsidiary of the Registrant in any capacity
with respect to any employee benefit plan, against, and each of the foregoing
persons shall be entitled without further act on his part to indemnity from the
Registrant for, any and all costs, expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees),
judgments, fines, penalties or liabilities (including amounts paid in
settlements, other than amounts paid to the Registrant itself) imposed upon or
reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action,
suit or other proceeding (whether civil or criminal, and including any
proceeding before any administrative or legislative body or agency), in which
he may be involved or with which he may be threatened by reason of his being or
having been such Director, officer or employee of the Registrant or any
subsidiary of the Registrant, or by reason of his serving or having served at
the request of the Registrant or any subsidiary of the Registrant with respect
to any employee benefit plan, or arising out of his service in connection with
any other corporation or organization which he serves or has served as
Director, officer or employee at the request of the Registrant or any subsidiary
of the Registrant, or serves or has served at the request of the Registrant or
any subsidiary of the Registrant in any capacity with respect to any employee
benefit plan, and in which the Registrant directly or indirectly owns shares or
of which it is a creditor, whether or not he continues to be such Director,
officer or employee or continues to serve with respect to any such employee
benefit plan at the time such action, suit or proceeding is brought or threatened;
provided, however, that no such Director, officer, employee or person serving
with respect to any employee benefit plan shall be so indemnified with respect
to any matter as to which he shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not
to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the
best interests of the Registrant, or to the extent that such matter relates to
service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the
participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan; and provided further
that, in respect to any matter in which any settlement is effective, such
indemnification shall be limited to matters covered by the settlement as to
which the Registrant is advised by independent legal counsel that such
Director, officer, employee or person serving with respect to any employee
benefit plan, in the opinion of such counsel, acted in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Registrant,
or to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect to an
employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or
beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Registrant has
purchased directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance and company
reimbursements liability insurance policy, that (i)&nbsp;insures against
certain losses (above a deductible amount) arising from claims against
directors or officers of the Registrant by reason of certain acts, done or
attempted by such director or officer and (ii)&nbsp;insures the Registrant against
losses (above a deductible amount) arising from any such claims, but only if
the Registrant is permitted to indemnify such directors or officers for such
losses under statutory or common law or under provisions of the Registrant&#146;s
Articles of Organization or By-Laws.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Commission has expressed its opinion that such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is therefore unenforceable.</font></p>

of Organization provide that no Director shall be personally liable to the
Registrant or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of
fiduciary duty by such Director as a Director.&#160;
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Director may be liable to the
extent provided by applicable law (a) for any breach of the Director&#146;s duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(c) under Section 61 or Section 62 of the Business Corporation Law of The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts or (d) for any transaction from which the Director received an
improper personal benefit.</font></p>

employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be

indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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.&#160; 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.</p>

anti-dilution provisions of the Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan
in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, split-up, recapitalization,

This

Series B Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Registrant
which are attached to all shares of Common Stock issued, pursuant to the terms

1999.  Until the occurrence of certain
prescribed events, the rights are not exercisable, are evidenced by the
certificates for the Common Stock and will be transferred with and only with
such Common Stock.  Because no separate
consideration is paid for the rights, the registration fee therefore is
included in the fee for the Common Stock.

Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the
shares to be offered hereby will be passed upon for the Registrant by Goodwin
Procter LLP, Boston, Massachusetts, counsel to the Registrant.  F. Beirne Lovely, Jr., the Clerk and
Secretary of the Registrant, is a partner of Goodwin Procter LLP, which receives
compensation from the Registrant for rendering legal services.
Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is
permitted by Massachusetts law and required by its By-Laws to indemnify each
Director, officer and employee of the Registrant or any subsidiary of the
Registrant, each former Director, officer and employee of the Registrant or any
subsidiary of the Registrant, and each person who serves or has served at the
request of the Registrant or any subsidiary of the Registrant in any capacity
with respect to any employee benefit plan, against, and each of the foregoing
persons shall be entitled without further act on his part to indemnity from the
Registrant for, any and all costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines, penalties or liabilities (including amounts paid in
settlements, other than amounts paid to the Registrant itself) imposed upon or
reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action,
suit or other proceeding (whether civil or criminal, and including any
proceeding before any administrative or legislative body or agency), in which
he may be involved or with which he may be threatened by reason of his being or
having been such Director, officer or employee of the Registrant or any
subsidiary of the Registrant, or by reason of his serving or having served at
the request of the Registrant or any subsidiary of the Registrant with respect
to any employee benefit plan, or arising out of his service in connection with
any other corporation or organization which he serves or has served as
Director, officer or employee at the request of the Registrant or any subsidiary
of the Registrant, or serves or has served at the request of the Registrant or
any subsidiary of the Registrant in any capacity with respect to any employee
benefit plan, and in which the Registrant directly or indirectly owns shares or
of which it is a creditor, whether or not he continues to be such Director,
officer or employee or continues to serve with respect to any such employee
benefit plan at the time such action, suit or proceeding is brought or threatened;
provided, however, that no such Director, officer, employee or person serving
with respect to any employee benefit plan shall be so indemnified with respect
to any matter as to which he shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not
to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the
best interests of the Registrant, or to the extent that such matter relates to
service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the
participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan; and provided further
that, in respect to any matter in which any settlement is effective, such
indemnification shall be limited to matters covered by the settlement as to
which the Registrant is advised by independent legal counsel that such
Director, officer, employee or person serving with respect to any employee
benefit plan, in the opinion of such counsel, acted in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Registrant,
or to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect to an
employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or
beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan.
The Registrant has
purchased directors' and officers' liability insurance and company
reimbursements liability insurance policy, that (i) insures against
certain losses (above a deductible amount) arising from claims against
directors or officers of the Registrant by reason of certain acts, done or
attempted by such director or officer and (ii) insures the Registrant against
losses (above a deductible amount) arising from any such claims, but only if
the Registrant is permitted to indemnify such directors or officers for such
losses under statutory or common law or under provisions of the Registrant's
Articles of Organization or By-Laws.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Commission has expressed its opinion that such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is therefore unenforceable.
The Registrant's Articles
of Organization provide that no Director shall be personally liable to the
Registrant or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of
fiduciary duty by such Director as a Director. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Director may be liable to the
extent provided by applicable law (a) for any breach of the Director's duty of
loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(c) under Section 61 or Section 62 of the Business Corporation Law of The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts or (d) for any transaction from which the Director received an
improper personal benefit.

Item 9.    Undertakings.
(a)
The Registrant
hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file,
during any period in which offers are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this Registration Statement:
(i)            To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii)           To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase
or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
*       Filed herewith.
6
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(iii)          To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) herein do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the undersigned Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement;
(2)
That, for
the purpose of determining any liability under 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; and
(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.
(b)
The Registrant
hereby undertakes 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 Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement 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.
(c)
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 foregoing provisions, 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 City of North
Chelmsford, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on January 18, 2005.
