Form S-8 filed May 2, 2001 (File No.&nbsp;333-60020) in connection with the
Registrant&#146;s 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;Prior Plan&#148;).&#160; The Carried Forward Shares were not issued
under the Prior Plan and, pursuant to Interpretation 89, the Registrant has
carried forward the registration fee for the Carried Forward Shares.&#160; The Registrant is concurrently filing a
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File
No.&nbsp;333-60020) registering shares pursuant to the Prior Plan, to reflect
the fact that 605,000 registered pursuant to the Prior Plan are being carried
forward to this Registration Statement.&#160;
The Registrant paid a total fee of $28,376 in connection with the shares
registered under Registration Statement File No.&nbsp;333-60020, of which
$4,900 related to the unissued carried forward shares.</p>

undersigned registrant hereby undertakes, that, 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</font></p>

registered under Registration Statement File No. 333-60020, of which
$4,900 related to the unissued carried forward shares.

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 or she is a
director against liability incurred in the proceeding if (1) (i) such
individual conducted himself/herself in good faith, (ii) such individual
reasonably believed that his/her conduct was in the best interest in the
corporation or that his/her conduct was at least not opposed to the best
interest of the corporation, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding,
such individual had no reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was
unlawful or (2) such individual engaged in conduct for which he/she shall not
be liable under a provision of the Articles of Organization authorized by
Section 2.02(b)(4) of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws.
Section
8.56 of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws authorizes corporation
to indemnify an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding
because he/she is an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a
director and, if he/she is an officer but not a director, to such further
extent as may be provided by the articles of organization, by-laws or a
resolution of the board of directors or contract except for liability rising
out of acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law.
The
Company's Restated Articles of Organization provide that no director shall be
personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of
law imposing such liability, except for any matter in respect of which the
director shall be liable under Section 61 or 62 of Chapter 156B of the
Massachusetts General Laws or any amendment thereto or successor provision
thereto or shall be liable by reason that, in addition to any and all other
requirements for such liability, he/she (i) shall have breached his/her duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its
3
stockholders, (ii) shall not have acted in good faith
or, in failing to act, shall not have acted in good faith, (iii) shall have
acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, or in failing to act, shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, or (iv) shall have derived an improper personal
benefit.
Section
8.52 of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws provides that a
corporation must indemnify a director who is wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party
because he/she was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses
incurred by him/her in connection with the proceeding.
Article
XXIX of the By-Laws of the Company provides as follows:
"
ARTICLE XXIX
Indemnification of Directors and Others
Section 29.1
Definitions
For
purposes of this Article XXIX:
(a)               "Director/officer" means any
person who is serving or has served as a Director, officer or employee of the
Corporation appointed or elected by the Board of Directors or the shareholders
of the Corporation, or any Director, officer or employee of the Corporation who
is serving or has served at the request of the Corporation as a Director,
officer, trustee, principal, partner, member of a committee, employee or other
agent of any other organization, or in any capacity with respect to any
employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.
(b)              "Proceeding" means any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
brought or threatened in or before any court, tribunal, administrative or
legislative body or agency, and any claim which could be the subject of a
Proceeding.
(c)               "Expense" means any fine or
penalty, and any liability fixed by a judgment, order, decree or award in a
Proceeding, any amount reasonably paid in settlement of a Proceeding and any
professional fees and other disbursements reasonably incurred in connection
with a Proceeding.  The term "Expense"
shall include any taxes or penalties imposed on a
4
Director/officer with respect to any employee benefit
plan of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.
Section 29.2
Right to
Indemnification
Except
as limited by law or as provided in Sections 29.3 and 29.4 of this Article
XXIX, each Director/officer (and his heirs and personal representatives) shall
be indemnified by the Corporation against any Expense incurred by him in
connection with each Proceeding in which he is involved as a result of his
serving or having served as a Director/officer.
Section 29.3
Indemnification
not Available
No
indemnification shall be provided to a Director/officer with respect to a
Proceeding as to which it shall have been adjudicated that he did not act in
good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests
of the Corporation, or, to the extent that such Proceeding relates to service
with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the
participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan.
Section 29.4
Compromise or
Settlement
In the
event that a Proceeding is compromised or settled so as to impose any liability
or obligation on a Director/officer or upon the Corporation, no indemnification
shall be provided as to said Director/officer with respect to such Proceeding
if such Director/officer shall have been adjudicated not to have acted in good
faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the
Corporation, or, to the extent that such Proceeding relates to service with
respect to an employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants
or beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan.
Section 29.5
Advances
The
Corporation shall pay sums on account of indemnification in advance of a final
disposition of a Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the
Director/officer to repay such sums if it is subsequently established that he
is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to Sections 29.3 and 29.4 hereof,
which undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of
such person to make repayment.
Section 29.6
Not Exclusive
Nothing
in this Article XXIX shall limit any lawful rights to indemnification existing
independently of this Article 29.
5
Section 29.7
Insurance
The
provisions of this Article XXIX shall not limit the power of the Board of
Directors to authorize the purchase and maintenance of insurance on behalf of
any Director/officer against any liability incurred by him in any such
capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation
would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Article
XXIX."
The
Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance.
The
Company's Restated Articles of Organization contain the same provision
regarding indemnification as that contained in Article XXIX of the By-Laws
of the Company.

(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) do 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference 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.
(b)   The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 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
7
therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)   The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes, that, 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
