The Registrant previously registered 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and the related preference stock purchase rights, issuable pursuant to the 2003 Stock Incentive Performance Plan, with the Securities and Exchange Commission via a registration statement on Form S-8 which was filed on October 27, 2003 (Registration No. 333-110000).  This registration statement is being used to register an additional 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and the related preference stock purchase rights, which may be issued pursuant to an amendment to the 2003 Stock Incentive Performance Plan, which was approved by the Registrant's shareholders at the 2005 annual meeting.

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 Registrant is incorporated in Rhode Island. Under Section 7-1.2-814 of the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act, a Rhode Island corporation has the power, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which these persons were made parties by reason of the fact that these persons are or were directors, officers, employees or agents, if:
-
these persons shall have acted in good faith,
-
they reasonably believed that their actions were in the best interests of the corporation, if the proceeding involves conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, if the proceeding involves conduct other than in an official capacity with the corporation, and
-
in criminal proceedings, they had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.
The foregoing statement is subject to the detailed provisions of 7-1.2-814 of the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act.
Article X of the By-Laws of the Registrant provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent permitted by Section 7-1.2-814 of the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act.
Section 7-1.2-202 of the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act provides that articles of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided that the provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director:
-
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders,
-
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
-
under Section 7-1.2-811 of the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act, which relates to liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends or distribution on, capital stock, or
-
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, unless said transaction is permitted by Section 7-1.2-807 of the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act, which relates to director conflicts of interest.
Article Thirteenth of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation contains such a provision.
Section 7-1.2-814(i) of the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act empowers a Rhode Island corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its current and prior directors, officers, employees and agents against any liability incurred or asserted against them as a result of their official capacities, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against the insured liability under the provisions of such Section.  The Registrant has a directors and officers liability insurance policy.
The Registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its directors, whereby the Registrant has agreed to indemnify each such director for amounts which the director is legally obligated to pay, including judgments, settlements of fines, including certain related expenses to be advanced by the Registrant, due to any actual or alleged breach of duty, neglect, error, misstatement, misleading statement or other act or omission by a director in his capacity as a director. This indemnification excludes claims:
-
covered by the Registrant's directors and officers liability insurance policy,
-
for which the director is otherwise indemnified or reimbursed,
-
relating to certain judgments or adjudications under which the director is liable for breaches of duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or involving knowing violations of law, actions or certain transactions from which the director derives an improper personal benefit,
-
relating to the director's liability for accounting for profits under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
-
in respect of remuneration, if found unlawful, and
-
as to which a final and non-appealable judgment has determined that payment to the director thereunder is unlawful.

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 this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(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 shall 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 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 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.
(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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Pawtucket, State of Rhode Island, on this 10th day of November, 2005.
