<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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&#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>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Registrant&#146;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.&#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>

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 2005 Stock Equity Plan for Non-Employee
Directors in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, split-up,
recapitalization, forfeiture of stock under the plan or other similar event.
(2)
Calculated
pursuant to Rule 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act based on the average
of the high and low prices for the Common Stock reported on the NASDAQ National
Market on January 12, 2005.
(3)
In
accordance with Rule 457(h), the filing fee is based on the maximum number of the
Registrant's securities issuable under the 2005 Stock Equity Plan for
Non-Employee Directors that are covered by this Registration Statement.
(4)
This
Registration Statement also relates to the rights to purchase shares of
Series B Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Registrant
which are attached to all shares of Common Stock issued, pursuant to the terms
of the Registrant's Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of March 18,
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 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
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
*
Filed
herewith.
5
(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.
