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>

Registrant for,
2
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

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'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");
4
(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 mater
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 August 9, 2004.
