PART I. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

     The information required by Part I is included in documents sent or 
given to the sole participant under the Registrant's Executive Stock Award 
Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 428(b)(l) of the Securities Act of 1933, 
as amended (the "Securities Act").

PART II. INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

     Item 3.  INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

     The Registrant is subject to the informational and reporting 
requirements of Sections 13(a), 14, and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith files 
reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (the "Commission").  The following documents, which are 
on file with the Commission, are incorporated in this Registration Statement 
by reference:

      (1)  The Registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant to
  Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or the latest prospectus
  filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that contains 
  audited financial statements for the Registrant's latest fiscal year for 
  which such statements have been filed.

      (2)  All other reports filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or
  15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
  document referred to in (1) above.

      (3)  The description of the common stock of the Registrant, $.03 1/3
  par value per share, contained in a Registration Statement filed under the
  Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
  updating such description.

     All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 
13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a 
post-effective amendment which indicates that all shares of common stock 
offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all shares of common stock 
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein 
and to be part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents. Any 
statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated 
by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes 
of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained 
herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed 
to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. 
Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so 
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

<PAGE>

     Item 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not applicable.

     Item 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     The legality of the Common Stock being offered hereby will be passed 
upon for the Registrant by Hale and Dorr, Boston, Massachusetts. As of the 
date hereof, partners of Hale and Dorr own approximately 187,500 shares of 
Common Stock of the Registrant.

     Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION

     Under Article Sixth of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of 
Incorporation and Article Fifth of the Registrant's By-Laws, each person who 
is a director or officer of the Registrant shall be indemnified by the 
Registrant to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the General 
Corporation Law of Delaware ("Section 145").

     Section 145 provides a detailed statutory framework covering 
indemnification of directors and officers of liabilities and expenses arising 
out of legal proceedings brought against them by reason of their status or 
service as directors or officers.  This section provides that a director or 
officer of a corporation (i) shall be indemnified by the corporation for all 
expenses of such legal proceedings when he is successful on the merits, (ii) 
may be indemnified by the corporation for the expenses, judgments, fines and 
amounts paid in settlement of such proceedings (other than a derivative 
suit), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith 
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best 
interests of the corporation (and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had 
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful), and (iii) may be 
indemnified by the corporation for expenses of a derivative suit (a suit by a 
shareholder alleging a breach by a director or officer of a duty owed to the 
corporation), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good 
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the 
best interests of the corporation.  No indemnification may be made under 
clause (iii) above, however, if the director or officer is adjudged liable 
for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties to the 
corporation, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication and in 
view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification.  The 
indemnification described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above may be made only 
upon a determination that indemnification is proper because the applicable 
standard of conduct has been met. Such a determination may be made by a 
majority of a quorum of disinterested directors, independent legal counsel or 
the stockholders.  The board of directors may authorize advancing litigation 
expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of an

                                     2

<PAGE>

undertaking by such director or officer to repay such expenses if it is 
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified for them.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of 
its directors which supplement or clarify the statutory indemnity provisions 
of Section 145 in the following respects: (i) the presumption that the 
director or officer met the applicable standard of conduct is established, 
(ii) the advancement of litigation expenses is provided upon request if the 
director or officer agrees to repay them if it is ultimately determined that 
he is not entitled to indemnification for them, (iii) indemnity is explicitly 
provided for settlements of derivative actions, (iv) the director or officer 
is permitted to petition a court to determine whether his actions met the 
standard required, and (v) partial indemnification is permitted in the event 
that the director or officer is not entitled to full indemnification.

     As permitted by Section 145, the Registrant has purchased a general 
liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of directors and 
officers of the Registrant arising out of claims based on acts or omissions 
in their capacity as directors or officers and for which they are not 
indemnified by the Registrant.

     Item 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

     Not applicable.

     Item 8.  EXHIBITS

     The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits to this 
Registration Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

     Item 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

          1.   The undersigned 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;

                   (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; and

                                     3

<PAGE>

                  (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 (i) and (ii) 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 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.

               (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.

          2.   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 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.

          3.   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 Securities and 
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as 
expressed in the 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.

13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a 
post-effective amendment which indicates that all shares of common stock 
offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all shares of common stock 
then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein 
and to be part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents. Any 
statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated 
by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes 
of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained 
herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed 
to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. 
Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so 
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

     Not applicable.

     Item 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

     The legality of the Common Stock being offered hereby will be passed 
upon for the Registrant by Hale and Dorr, Boston, Massachusetts. As of the 
date hereof, partners of Hale and Dorr own approximately 187,500 shares of 
Common Stock of the Registrant.

     Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION

     Under Article Sixth of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of 
Incorporation and Article Fifth of the Registrant's By-Laws, each person who 
is a director or officer of the Registrant shall be indemnified by the 
Registrant to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the General 
Corporation Law of Delaware ("Section 145").

     Section 145 provides a detailed statutory framework covering 
indemnification of directors and officers of liabilities and expenses arising 
out of legal proceedings brought against them by reason of their status or 
service as directors or officers.  This section provides that a director or 
officer of a corporation (i) shall be indemnified by the corporation for all 
expenses of such legal proceedings when he is successful on the merits, (ii) 
may be indemnified by the corporation for the expenses, judgments, fines and 
amounts paid in settlement of such proceedings (other than a derivative 
suit), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith 
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best 
interests of the corporation (and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had 
no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful), and (iii) may be 
indemnified by the corporation for expenses of a derivative suit (a suit by a 
shareholder alleging a breach by a director or officer of a duty owed to the 
corporation), even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good 
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the 
best interests of the corporation.  No indemnification may be made under 
clause (iii) above, however, if the director or officer is adjudged liable 
for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties to the 
corporation, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication and in 
view of all of the circumstances, he is entitled to indemnification.  The 
indemnification described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above may be made only 
upon a determination that indemnification is proper because the applicable 
standard of conduct has been met. Such a determination may be made by a 
majority of a quorum of disinterested directors, independent legal counsel or 
the stockholders.  The board of directors may authorize advancing litigation 
expenses to a director or officer upon receipt of an

                                     2
undertaking by such director or officer to repay such expenses if it is 
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified for them.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of 
its directors which supplement or clarify the statutory indemnity provisions 
of Section 145 in the following respects: (i) the presumption that the 
director or officer met the applicable standard of conduct is established, 
(ii) the advancement of litigation expenses is provided upon request if the 
director or officer agrees to repay them if it is ultimately determined that 
he is not entitled to indemnification for them, (iii) indemnity is explicitly 
provided for settlements of derivative actions, (iv) the director or officer 
is permitted to petition a court to determine whether his actions met the 
standard required, and (v) partial indemnification is permitted in the event 
that the director or officer is not entitled to full indemnification.

     As permitted by Section 145, the Registrant has purchased a general 
liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of directors and 
officers of the Registrant arising out of claims based on acts or omissions 
in their capacity as directors or officers and for which they are not 
indemnified by the Registrant.

     Item 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

     Not applicable.

     Item 8.  EXHIBITS

     The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits to this 
Registration Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

     Item 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

          1.   The undersigned 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;

                   (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; and

                                     3
(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 (i) and (ii) 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 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.

               (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.

          2.   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 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.

          3.   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 Securities and 
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as 
expressed in the 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.

                                     4
