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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification of
Directors and Officers
Section 8.51 of Chapter
156D of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts authorizes a
Massachusetts corporation to indemnify an individual who is a party to a
proceeding because he is a director against liability incurred in the
proceeding if (1)(i) he conducted himself in good faith, (ii) he reasonably
believed that his conduct was in the best interest of the corporation or that
his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful or (2) he engaged in conduct for which he
shall not be liable under an authorized provision of the corporation's articles
of organization.  Section 8.56 of Chapter
156D of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts authorizes a
corporation to indemnify an officer of the corporation who is a party to a
proceeding because he is an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a
director and, if he is an officer but not a director, to such further extent as
may be provided by the articles of organization, bylaws, a resolution of the
board of directors or contract except for liability arising out of acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of the law.
The Registrant's Restated Articles of Organization
include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of each of its
directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to
the extent provided by applicable law, notwithstanding any provision of law
imposing such liability, except for liability, to the extent required by
Section 13(b)(1 1/2) or any successor provision of the Massachusetts Business
Corporation 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
2
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under sections 61 or 62
of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law, or (d) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
In
addition, the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-laws provide that (a) the
Registrant shall, to the extent legally permissible, indemnify each of its
directors and officers (including persons who act at its request as directors,
officers or trustees of another organization or in any capacity with respect to
any employee benefit plan) against all liabilities and expenses, except with
respect to any matter as to which such director or officer shall have been
adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable
belief that such individual's action was in the best interests of the
Registrant or, to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect to
any employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or
beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan; (b) the Registrant is authorized
to pay expenses, including counsel fees, from time to time reasonably incurred
by any director or officer in connection with the defense or disposition of any
such action, suit or other proceeding in advance of the final disposition
thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or officer to repay to
the Registrant the amounts so paid by the Registrant if it is ultimately
determined that indemnification for such expenses is not authorized under the
Amended and Restated By-laws; (c) the right of indemnification under the
Amended and Restated By-laws shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights
to which any director or officer may be entitled by contract or otherwise under
law.
The Registrant has
entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive
officers providing for the indemnification of such director or executive officer,
as applicable, to the extent legally permissible and the payment of expenses,
including counsel fees reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding in which such individual
may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or
officer of the Registrant.

Item 8.

The following exhibits are filed as part of or

Rainfinity 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.
5.1
Opinion
of Paul T. Dacier, Senior Vice President and General Counsel to the Registrant,
as to the legality of the securities being registered.
23.1
Consent
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
23.2
Consent
of Paul T. Dacier, Senior Vice President and General Counsel to the Registrant
(contained in the opinion filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Registration Statement).
24.1
Power
of Attorney (included on the signature pages to this Registration Statement).
Item 9. 
Undertakings
The 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 to such information in the
registration statement;
(2)
That, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
3
applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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; and
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 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
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
