Item 4.  Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
The Company's officers and directors are and will be indemnified against certain liabilities under (i) Massachusetts law, (ii) the Company's Restated Articles of Organization ("Articles of Organization") and (iii) the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws ("By-laws"). In addition, the Company has indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers and maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance.
The Articles of Organization and the By-laws
The Articles of Organization provide that no director shall be personally liable to the Company 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 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 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.
In addition to the indemnification provisions of the Articles of Organization described above, the Articles of Organization and the By-laws contain provisions enumerating each director's and officer's rights to indemnification in connection with a proceeding in which he or she is involved as a result of his or her serving as a director or officer. These provisions do not apply if the director or officer has been adjudicated to not have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the Company, 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.
Massachusetts Law
In 2004, Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws was replaced by Chapter 156D, the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act ("MBCA"), which authorizes indemnification as described below.
Section 2.02(b)(4) of the MBCA provides that a Massachusetts corporation may, in its articles of organization, eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty notwithstanding any law to the contrary, except for liabilities involving (i) any breach of duty of loyalty to the corporation or to the shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith, intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, (iii) certain improper distributions or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 8.51 of the MBCA 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 the MBCA.
Section 8.52 of the MBCA 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.
Section 8.56 of the MBCA authorizes a 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. Section 8.56 of the MBCA requires that a Massachusetts corporation indemnify an officer of the corporation who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which such officer was a party because he was an officer of the corporation.
Indemnification Agreements
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain officers. The indemnification agreements require the Company to indemnify such director or officer against any expenses or liabilities incurred in connection with any proceeding in which the director or officer may be involved as a party or otherwise, by reason of the fact that the director or officer is or was a director or officer of the Company or by any reason of any action taken by or omitted to be taken by such person while acting as a director or officer of the Company. However, the Company is only obligated to provide indemnification under the indemnification agreements if: (i) the director or officer was acting in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe the director's conduct was unlawful; (ii) the claim was not made to recover profits by the director or officer in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar law; (iii) the claim was not initiated by the director or officer; (iv) the claim was not covered by applicable insurance; or (v) the claim is permitted by applicable law. Each such director or officer has undertaken to repay the Company for any costs or expenses paid by the Company if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification under the indemnification agreements.
Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.  Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9.  Undertakings
.
(a)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the 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
(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) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and 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 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.
(b)     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 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.
(c)    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.
