  present or past directors and officers (&#147;Covered Persons&#148;) against all expenses
  (including reasonable attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts
  paid in settlements incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending,
  preparing to prosecute and defend, investigating or being or preparing to be a
  witness, in any actual or threatened action, suit, arbitration, alternative
  dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any
  other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. The
  Registrant may, as authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors,
  indemnify any employee or agent of the Registrant to the fullest extent of the
  provisions of the By-Laws with respect to Covered Persons.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No person may be indemnified with respect to any matter as to which he or
  she has been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or
  she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Registrant. With
  respect to any proceeding, other than one by or in the right of the Registrant,
  each Covered Person shall be indemnified if such person acted in good faith and
  in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the
  Registrant or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause
  to believe such person&#146;s conduct was unlawful. With respect to proceedings
  brought by or in the right of the Registrant, a Covered Person shall be
  indemnified if such person acted in good faith, and in a manner such person
  believed to be in the best interest of the Registrant; provided, however, no
  indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to
  which such Covered Person shall have been adjudged liable to the Registrant if
  applicable law prohibits such indemnification; and provided further, that if
  applicable law permits, indemnification shall nevertheless be made by the
  Registrant in such event only if the court which is considering the matter
  shall so determine.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a Covered Person is successful on the merits or otherwise in any
  proceeding, such Covered Person shall be indemnified to the maximum extent
  permitted by law. If such Covered Person is not wholly successful in such
  proceeding, but is successful on the merits or otherwise as to one or more, but
  less than all claims, issues or matters, the Registrant shall indemnify such
  Covered Person to the maximum extent permitted by law with respect to each
  successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a Covered Person is a witness in any proceeding, such person shall be
  indemnified against all reasonable expenses actually incurred by such Covered
  Person in connection therewith.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The determination as to a Covered Person&#146;s right to indemnification shall
  be made by (a)&nbsp;the disinterested directors, (b)&nbsp;independent legal counsel, or

  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is required to advance all reasonable expenses incurred by
  a Covered Person in connection with any proceeding upon written request of the
  Covered Person, which request must be
  accompanied by an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay any expenses if it
  is ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be
  indemnified against such expenses.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The right to indemnification and to receive advancement of expenses set
  forth in the By-Laws is not exclusive of any rights to which a Covered Person
  may be entitled under applicable law, the Articles of Organization, as amended,
  any agreement, vote of stockholders or resolution of the Board of Directors or
  otherwise.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant is required to indemnify Covered Persons pursuant to the
  By-Laws to the fullest extent permitted under current applicable law and to
  such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter permit.

  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant also has entered into Indemnification Agreements (the
  &#147;Indemnification Agreements&#148;) with several of its directors, and may from time
  to time enter into similar agreements with executive officers who are not
  directors. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreements, the Registrant has
  agreed to indemnify each director if he is a party to or is threatened to be
  made a party to or is otherwise involved in any proceeding against all losses
  and expenses incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
  the proceedings. In general, the term &#147;proceeding&#148; includes any threatened,
  pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether brought in the right
  of the Registrant or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or
  investigative, in which a director may be involved as a party, witness or
  otherwise by reason of his having been a director of the Registrant. The terms
  &#147;losses&#148; and &#147;expenses&#148; include amounts which the director pays as a result of
  the claim made against him in any proceeding including damages, judgments,
  liabilities, fines, penalties and sums paid in settlement of a claim, and
  expenses of investigations or judicial or administrative proceedings or
  appeals, attorneys&#146; and accounting fees and disbursements, taxes, expenses of
  being a witness in a proceeding, and any expenses of establishing a right to
  indemnification under the Indemnification Agreements.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A director shall not be entitled to indemnification if a court finds, in a
  final adjudication from which there is no further right of appeal, that the
  director did not act in good faith and in the reasonable belief that his
  conduct was in the best interest of the Registrant or, with respect to any
  criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
  was unlawful. In addition, the Registrant shall not be required to indemnify a
  director in connection with any proceeding (a)&nbsp;to the extent payment is made to
  the director for losses and expenses under an insurance policy, (b)&nbsp;based upon
  the director receiving an improper personal benefit to which he was not legally
  entitled, (c)&nbsp;for an accounting of profit made from the director&#146;s purchase or
  sale of the Registrant&#146;s securities in violation of Section&nbsp;16(b) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (d)&nbsp;based upon a finding by a court in a
  final adjudication from which there is no further right of appeal that such
  indemnification is unlawful.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that a director has been successful on the merits or
  otherwise in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or
  matter therein, including the dismissal of an action without prejudice, the
  director shall be indemnified against all expenses incurred in connection
  therewith. A director is entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in any
  proceeding provided that the director undertakes to repay such amounts to the
  Registrant if it shall ultimately be determined by a court in a final
  adjudication from which there is no further right of appeal that the director
  was not entitled to indemnification of such expenses.

  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification under the Indemnification Agreements is not exclusive and

  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">laws of
  the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or otherwise. Further, indemnification under
  the Indemnification Agreements continues as to directors who may have ceased to
  be directors.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Massachusetts law permits the indemnification of directors, officers,
  employees or other agents of a corporation to the extent specified in (a)&nbsp;the
  articles of organization, (b)&nbsp;the by-laws adopted by the stockholders, or (c)
  any vote adopted by the stockholders. Except as the articles of organization or
  by-laws otherwise require, indemnification of officers, employees or other
  agents who are not directors may be provided to the extent authorized by the
  directors. Indemnification may include advancement of expenses incurred in
  defending a civil or criminal action or proceedings upon receipt of an
  undertaking to repay such payment if the director, officer, employee or other
  agent shall be adjudicated not to be entitled to indemnification. No
  indemnification may be provided any person with respect to any matter as to
  which he or she shall have been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in
  the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the
  corporation.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Massachusetts law also provides a defense to liability for a director,
  officer or incorporator of a corporation under the following circumstances. If
  a director, officer or incorporator performs his duties as such in good faith
  and in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the
  corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like
  position would use under similar circumstances, the fact that the director,
  officer or incorporator so performed his duties shall be a complete defense to
  certain claims asserted against him by reason of his being or having been a
  director, officer or incorporator of the corporation.
  </FONT>
  <P align="left"><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
  Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
  Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been
  informed 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.

  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 Securities and Exchange 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.

  PART II
  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  The Registrant's By-Laws ("By-Laws") require the Registrant to indemnify
  present or past directors and officers ("Covered Persons") against all expenses
  (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts
  paid in settlements incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending,
  preparing to prosecute and defend, investigating or being or preparing to be a
  witness, in any actual or threatened action, suit, arbitration, alternative
  dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any
  other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. The
  Registrant may, as authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors,
  indemnify any employee or agent of the Registrant to the fullest extent of the
  provisions of the By-Laws with respect to Covered Persons.
  No person may be indemnified with respect to any matter as to which he or
  she has been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or
  she reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Registrant. With
  respect to any proceeding, other than one by or in the right of the Registrant,
  each Covered Person shall be indemnified if such person acted in good faith and
  in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the
  Registrant or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause
  to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. With respect to proceedings
  brought by or in the right of the Registrant, a Covered Person shall be
  indemnified if such person acted in good faith, and in a manner such person
  believed to be in the best interest of the Registrant; provided, however, no
  indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to
  which such Covered Person shall have been adjudged liable to the Registrant if
  applicable law prohibits such indemnification; and provided further, that if
  applicable law permits, indemnification shall nevertheless be made by the
  Registrant in such event only if the court which is considering the matter
  shall so determine.
  If a Covered Person is successful on the merits or otherwise in any
  proceeding, such Covered Person shall be indemnified to the maximum extent
  permitted by law. If such Covered Person is not wholly successful in such
  proceeding, but is successful on the merits or otherwise as to one or more, but
  less than all claims, issues or matters, the Registrant shall indemnify such
  Covered Person to the maximum extent permitted by law with respect to each
  successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.
  If a Covered Person is a witness in any proceeding, such person shall be
  indemnified against all reasonable expenses actually incurred by such Covered
  Person in connection therewith.
  The determination as to a Covered Person's right to indemnification shall
  be made by (a) the disinterested directors, (b) independent legal counsel, or
  (c) the stockholders.
  - 1 -
  Table of Contents
  The Registrant is required to advance all reasonable expenses incurred by
  a Covered Person in connection with any proceeding upon written request of the
  Covered Person, which request must be
  accompanied by an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay any expenses if it
  is ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be
  indemnified against such expenses.
  The right to indemnification and to receive advancement of expenses set
  forth in the By-Laws is not exclusive of any rights to which a Covered Person
  may be entitled under applicable law, the Articles of Organization, as amended,
  any agreement, vote of stockholders or resolution of the Board of Directors or
  otherwise.
  The Registrant is required to indemnify Covered Persons pursuant to the
  By-Laws to the fullest extent permitted under current applicable law and to
  such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter permit.
  The Registrant also has entered into Indemnification Agreements (the
  "Indemnification Agreements") with several of its directors, and may from time
  to time enter into similar agreements with executive officers who are not
  directors. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreements, the Registrant has
  agreed to indemnify each director if he is a party to or is threatened to be
  made a party to or is otherwise involved in any proceeding against all losses
  and expenses incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
  the proceedings. In general, the term "proceeding" includes any threatened,
  pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether brought in the right
  of the Registrant or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or
  investigative, in which a director may be involved as a party, witness or
  otherwise by reason of his having been a director of the Registrant. The terms
  "losses" and "expenses" include amounts which the director pays as a result of
  the claim made against him in any proceeding including damages, judgments,
  liabilities, fines, penalties and sums paid in settlement of a claim, and
  expenses of investigations or judicial or administrative proceedings or
  appeals, attorneys' and accounting fees and disbursements, taxes, expenses of
  being a witness in a proceeding, and any expenses of establishing a right to
  indemnification under the Indemnification Agreements.
  A director shall not be entitled to indemnification if a court finds, in a
  final adjudication from which there is no further right of appeal, that the
  director did not act in good faith and in the reasonable belief that his
  conduct was in the best interest of the Registrant or, with respect to any
  criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
  was unlawful. In addition, the Registrant shall not be required to indemnify a
  director in connection with any proceeding (a) to the extent payment is made to
  the director for losses and expenses under an insurance policy, (b) based upon
  the director receiving an improper personal benefit to which he was not legally
  entitled, (c) for an accounting of profit made from the director's purchase or
  sale of the Registrant's securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the
  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (d) based upon a finding by a court in a
  final adjudication from which there is no further right of appeal that such
  indemnification is unlawful.
  To the extent that a director has been successful on the merits or
  otherwise in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or
  matter therein, including the dismissal of an action without prejudice, the
  director shall be indemnified against all expenses incurred in connection
  therewith. A director is entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in any
  proceeding provided that the director undertakes to repay such amounts to the
  Registrant if it shall ultimately be determined by a court in a final
  adjudication from which there is no further right of appeal that the director
  was not entitled to indemnification of such expenses.
  Indemnification under the Indemnification Agreements is not exclusive and
  does not affect any other rights to which directors may be entitled under the
  Registrant's Articles of Organization, as amended, or By-Laws, any other
  agreement, any vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors, the
  - 2 -
  Table of Contents
  laws of
  the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or otherwise. Further, indemnification under
  the Indemnification Agreements continues as to directors who may have ceased to
  be directors.
  Massachusetts law permits the indemnification of directors, officers,
  employees or other agents of a corporation to the extent specified in (a) the
  articles of organization, (b) the by-laws adopted by the stockholders, or (c)
  any vote adopted by the stockholders. Except as the articles of organization or
  by-laws otherwise require, indemnification of officers, employees or other
  agents who are not directors may be provided to the extent authorized by the
  directors. Indemnification may include advancement of expenses incurred in
  defending a civil or criminal action or proceedings upon receipt of an
  undertaking to repay such payment if the director, officer, employee or other
  agent shall be adjudicated not to be entitled to indemnification. No
  indemnification may be provided any person with respect to any matter as to
  which he or she shall have been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in
  the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of the
  corporation.
  Massachusetts law also provides a defense to liability for a director,
  officer or incorporator of a corporation under the following circumstances. If
  a director, officer or incorporator performs his duties as such in good faith
  and in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the
  corporation, and with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like
  position would use under similar circumstances, the fact that the director,
  officer or incorporator so performed his duties shall be a complete defense to
  certain claims asserted against him by reason of his being or having been a
  director, officer or incorporator of the corporation.
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
  Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
  Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been
  informed 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.
  Item 8. Exhibits.
  The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated
  herein by reference.
  Item 9. Undertakings.
  1.
  Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K
  . 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;
  (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;
  - 3 -
  Table of Contents
  provided, however,
  that paragraphs (i) and (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 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.
  2.
  Item 512(b) of Regulation S-K
  . 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 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.
  Item 512(h) of Regulation S-K
  . 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 Securities and Exchange 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.
