interests of the corporation or that his conduct was at least not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of any criminal
proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;8.52
of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act requires corporations to
indemnify any director who was wholly successful in the defense of any
proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of the corporation
against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section&nbsp;8.56 of the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses
to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he is
an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a director, and, if he is
an officer but not a director, to such further extent as may be provided by the
articles of organization, the bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors or
contract, except for liability arising out of acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Section&nbsp;8.56
also provides that an officer of the corporation who is not a director is
entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section&nbsp;8.52, and that the
officer may apply to a court for indemnification or an advance for expenses, in
each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to
indemnification or advance under those provisions.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In its Restated Articles of Organization and Amended
and Restated By-Laws, the registrant has elected to provide indemnification to
its directors and officers in appropriate circumstances. Generally, the
Restated Articles of Organization and Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that
the registrant shall indemnify directors and officers of the registrant against
liabilities and expenses arising out of legal proceedings brought against them
by reason of their status as directors or officers of the registrant or by
reason of their agreeing to serve, at the request of the registrant, as a
director or officer of another organization. Under this provision, a director
or officer of the registrant shall be indemnified by the registrant for all
expenses, liabilities and losses (including reasonable attorneys&#146; fees,
judgments, fines, &#147;ERISA&#148; excise taxes or penalties), unless he is adjudicated
in such proceedings not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief
that his action was in the best interest of the registrant or, to the extent
such matter relates to service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the
best interest of the participants or beneficiaries of such benefit plan. Any
indemnification for amounts paid in settlement of legal proceedings described
above shall be made by the registrant unless a court of competent jurisdiction
holds that the director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct set
forth above or the registrant determines, by clear and convincing evidence,
that the director or officer did not meet such standard. Such determination
shall be made by the Board of Directors of the registrant, based on advice of
independent legal counsel.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The registrant&#146;s Restated Articles or Organization and
Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that the registrant shall advance expenses
to a director or officer upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or
officer to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he is not
entitled to indemnification for such expenses. The registrant may, to the
extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant
indemnification rights to employees, agents or other persons serving the
registrant.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section&nbsp;2.02 of the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Act provides that the articles of organization of a corporation may
contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a
director to the corporation for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty
as a director notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability;
provided, however, that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (1)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (3)&nbsp;for improper distributions under Sections&nbsp;6.40
of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. &#160;Article&nbsp;6B of the registrant&#146;s Restated
Articles of Organization contains such a provision.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:20.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Section&nbsp;8.57 of the Massachusetts Business

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.</font></p>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 8.51 of the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Act, under which the registrant is governed, provides that a
corporation may indemnify a director who is a party to a proceeding because he
is a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if he conducted
himself in good faith and he
II-
1
reasonably believed that his conduct was in the best
interests of the corporation or that his conduct was at least not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of any criminal
proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Section 8.52
of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act requires corporations to
indemnify any director who was wholly successful in the defense of any
proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of the corporation
against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.
Section 8.56 of the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses
to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he is
an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a director, and, if he is
an officer but not a director, to such further extent as may be provided by the
articles of organization, the bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors or
contract, except for liability arising out of acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Section 8.56
also provides that an officer of the corporation who is not a director is
entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 8.52, and that the
officer may apply to a court for indemnification or an advance for expenses, in
each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to
indemnification or advance under those provisions.
In its Restated Articles of Organization and Amended
and Restated By-Laws, the registrant has elected to provide indemnification to
its directors and officers in appropriate circumstances. Generally, the
Restated Articles of Organization and Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that
the registrant shall indemnify directors and officers of the registrant against
liabilities and expenses arising out of legal proceedings brought against them
by reason of their status as directors or officers of the registrant or by
reason of their agreeing to serve, at the request of the registrant, as a
director or officer of another organization. Under this provision, a director
or officer of the registrant shall be indemnified by the registrant for all
expenses, liabilities and losses (including reasonable attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines, "ERISA" excise taxes or penalties), unless he is adjudicated
in such proceedings not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief
that his action was in the best interest of the registrant or, to the extent
such matter relates to service with respect to an employee benefit plan, in the
best interest of the participants or beneficiaries of such benefit plan. Any
indemnification for amounts paid in settlement of legal proceedings described
above shall be made by the registrant unless a court of competent jurisdiction
holds that the director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct set
forth above or the registrant determines, by clear and convincing evidence,
that the director or officer did not meet such standard. Such determination
shall be made by the Board of Directors of the registrant, based on advice of
independent legal counsel.
The registrant's Restated Articles or Organization and
Amended and Restated By-Laws provide that the registrant shall advance expenses
to a director or officer upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or
officer to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that he is not
entitled to indemnification for such expenses. The registrant may, to the
extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant
indemnification rights to employees, agents or other persons serving the
registrant.
Section 2.02 of the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Act provides that the articles of organization of a corporation may
contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a
director to the corporation for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty
as a director notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability;
provided, however, that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (1) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (2) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (3) for improper distributions under Sections 6.40
of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act or (4) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  Article 6B of the registrant's Restated
Articles of Organization contains such a provision.
Section 8.57 of the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Act also contains provisions authorizing a corporation to obtain
insurance on behalf of any director or officer of the corporation against
liabilities, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
against such liabilities. The registrant
II-
2
maintains directors and officers liability insurance
for the benefit of its directors and certain of its officers.

Undertakings
(1) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(A) 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. 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 more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement;
II-
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 (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 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 into this registration
statement.
(B) 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.
(C) 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
undersigned 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 (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.
(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 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.
