the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the election of directors. In all instances, the extent to which a corporation provides indemnification to its directors and officers under Section 67 is optional. In its Restated
Articles of Organization, the Company has elected to commit to provide indemnification to its directors and officers in specified circumstances. Generally, the Restated Articles of Organization provide that the Company shall indemnify directors and
officers of the Company against liabilities and expenses arising out of legal proceedings brought against them by reason of their status as directors or officers or by reason of their agreeing to serve, at the request of the Company, as a director
or officer with another organization. Under this provision, a director or officer of the Company shall be indemnified by the Company for all costs and expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement
of such proceedings, even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Company. The Board of Directors may authorize advancing litigation expenses to a
director or officer at his request upon receipt of an undertaking by any such director or officer to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses. </FONT></P><P

Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The legality of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby has been passed upon for the Company by Choate, Hall & Stewart, 53 State Street, Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Officers and
Directors
Section 67 of Chapter 156B of
the Massachusetts General Laws provides that a corporation may indemnify its directors and officers to the extent specified in or authorized by (i) the articles of organization, (ii) a by-law adopted by the stockholders, or (iii) a vote adopted by
the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote on the election of directors. In all instances, the extent to which a corporation provides indemnification to its directors and officers under Section 67 is optional. In its Restated
Articles of Organization, the Company has elected to commit to provide indemnification to its directors and officers in specified circumstances. Generally, the Restated Articles of Organization provide that the Company shall indemnify directors and
officers of the Company against liabilities and expenses arising out of legal proceedings brought against them by reason of their status as directors or officers or by reason of their agreeing to serve, at the request of the Company, as a director
or officer with another organization. Under this provision, a director or officer of the Company shall be indemnified by the Company for all costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement
of such proceedings, even if he is not successful on the merits, if he acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Company. The Board of Directors may authorize advancing litigation expenses to a
director or officer at his request upon receipt of an undertaking by any such director or officer to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
Article VI of the Company's Restated Articles of
Organization eliminates the personal liability of the Company's directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any breach of a director's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of laws, (iii) for authorization of illegal dividends or redemptions, or (iv) for any
transaction in which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and certain of its officers.

Undertakings
(a)    The Company 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, as amended (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 Company hereby undertakes that,
for purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company'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 Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company
will, unless in the opinion of 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.
