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 is a director against liability incurred in the
proceeding if (1)(i) he conducted himself in good faith, (ii) he reasonably
believed that his conduct was in the best interest of the corporation or that
his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful or (2) he engaged in conduct for which he
shall not be liable under an authorized provision of the corporation&#146;s articles
of organization. Section 8.56 of Chapter 156D of the General Laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts authorizes a corporation to indemnify 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, 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 the law.</font></p>

duty as a director to the extent provided by applicable law, notwithstanding
any provision of law imposing such liability, except for liability, to the extent
required by Section 13(b)(1 1/2) or any successor provision of the
Massachusetts Business Corporation Law, (a) for any breach of the director&#146;s

expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.</font></p>

Item 5.
Interests
of Named Experts and Counsel.
The legality of the
shares of Common Stock being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement
will be passed upon for the Registrant by Paul T. Dacier, Senior Vice President
and General Counsel of the Registrant. Mr. Dacier holds options to purchase
Common Stock and owns shares of Common Stock.
Item 6.
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 is a director against liability incurred in the
proceeding if (1)(i) he conducted himself in good faith, (ii) he reasonably
believed that his conduct was in the best interest of the corporation or that
his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful or (2) he engaged in conduct for which he
shall not be liable under an authorized provision of the corporation's articles
of organization. Section 8.56 of Chapter 156D of the General Laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts authorizes a corporation to indemnify 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, 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 the law.
The Registrant's Restated
Articles of Organization include a provision that eliminates the personal
liability of each of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director to the extent provided by applicable law, notwithstanding
any provision of law imposing such liability, except for liability, to the extent
required by Section 13(b)(1 1/2) or any successor provision of the
Massachusetts Business Corporation 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 sections 61 or 62 of the Massachusetts
Business Corporation Law, or (d) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.
2
In
addition, the Registrant's Amended and Restated By-laws provide that (a) the
Registrant shall, to the extent legally permissible, indemnify each of its
directors and officers (including persons who act at its request as directors,
officers or trustees of another organization or in any capacity with respect to
any employee benefit plan) against all liabilities and expenses, except with
respect to any matter as to which such director or officer shall have been
adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable
belief that such individual's action was in the best interests of the
Registrant or, to the extent that such matter relates to service with respect
to any employee benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or
beneficiaries of such employee benefit plan; (b) the Registrant is authorized
to pay expenses, including counsel fees, from time to time reasonably incurred
by any director or officer in connection with the defense or disposition of any
such action, suit or other proceeding in advance of the final disposition
thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by such director or officer to repay to
the Registrant the amounts so paid by the Registrant if it is ultimately
determined that indemnification for such expenses is not authorized under the
Amended and Restated Bylaws; (c) the right of indemnification under the Amended
and Restated By-laws shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to
which any director or officer may be entitled by contract or otherwise under
law.
The Registrant has
entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive
officers providing for the indemnification of such director or executive
officer, as applicable, to the extent legally permissible and the payment of
expenses, including counsel fees reasonably incurred in connection with the
defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding in which such
individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a
director or officer of the Registrant.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
The 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 of 1933;
(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;
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) above 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
Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
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;
(4)
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 therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
