of chapter 156B of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law grants the

whatever extent permitted by the Company&#146;s Articles of Organization, Bylaws or

service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the
participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan. Such
indemnification may&nbsp;include payment by the Company of expenses incurred in

civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which he may&nbsp;become
involved by reason of his serving or having served in such capacity (other than
a proceeding voluntarily initiated by such person unless he is successful on
the merits, the proceeding was authorized by the Company or the proceeding
seeks a declaratory judgment regarding his own conduct). Such indemnification
shall include payment by the Company of expenses incurred in defending a civil
or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such
action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified
to repay such payment if he shall be adjudicated to be not entitled to

that a corporation may, in its Articles of Organization, eliminate the personal

corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;loans
to insiders and unauthorized distributions, and (iv)&nbsp;transactions from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article&nbsp;VI(e)&nbsp;of
the Company&#146;s Articles of Organization provides that no director shall be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for
any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such
exculpation is not permitted under the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law

arising under the Securities Act may&nbsp;be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to its Bylaws, 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.</p>

Item 5.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 67
of chapter 156B of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law grants the
Company the power to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent, to
whatever extent permitted by the Company's Articles of Organization, Bylaws or
a vote adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote
thereon, if such indemnitee acted (a) in good faith in the reasonable
belief that his action was in the best interests of the corporation or (b) to
the extent that the matter for which indemnification is sought relates to
service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the
participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan. Such
indemnification may include payment by the Company of expenses incurred in
defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final
disposition of such action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the
person indemnified to repay such payment if he shall be adjudicated to be not
entitled to indemnification under the statute.
Article X
of the Company's Bylaws provides that the Company shall, to the extent legally
permissible, indemnify each person who may serve or who has served at any
time as a director or officer of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries, or
who at the request of the Company may serve or at any time has served as a
director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another
organization or an
3
employee
benefit plan, against all expenses and liabilities (including counsel fees,
judgments, fines, excise taxes, penalties and amounts payable in settlements)
reasonably incurred by or imposed upon such person in connection with any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which he may become
involved by reason of his serving or having served in such capacity (other than
a proceeding voluntarily initiated by such person unless he is successful on
the merits, the proceeding was authorized by the Company or the proceeding
seeks a declaratory judgment regarding his own conduct). Such indemnification
shall include payment by the Company of expenses incurred in defending a civil
or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such
action or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the person indemnified
to repay such payment if he shall be adjudicated to be not entitled to
indemnification under Article X, which undertaking may be accepted
without regard to the financial ability of such person to make repayment.
The
indemnification provided for in Article X is a contract right inuring to
the benefit of the directors, officers and others entitled to indemnification.
In addition, the indemnification is expressly not exclusive of any other rights
to which such director, officer or other person may be entitled by
contract or otherwise under law, and inures to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 13(b)(1
1/2) of chapter 156B of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law provides
that a corporation may, in its Articles of Organization, eliminate the personal
liability of directors to the corporation and its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in circumstances
involving (i) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) loans
to insiders and unauthorized distributions, and (iv) transactions from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article VI(e) of
the Company's Articles of Organization provides that no director shall be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for
any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that such
exculpation is not permitted under the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law
as in effect when such liability is determined.
The
Company maintains an indemnification insurance policy that covers all directors
and officers of the Company.

Undertakings.
(a)
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:
(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 this 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 this
Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) shall
not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this 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 further 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
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 its Bylaws, 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.
