  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>
  </DIV>
  
  
  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts
  Business Corporation Act, which became effective on July&nbsp;1, 2004 and under which we are governed,
  provides at Section&nbsp;8.51 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 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&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.
  </DIV>
  
  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.
  </DIV>
  
  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;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 maintains director and officer liability insurance for the
  benefit of its directors and officers.
  </DIV>
  
  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Six of our Restated Articles of Organization, as amended and in effect, eliminates the
  personal liability of each member of our Board of Directors to the Registrant or its stockholders
  for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, the liability of a
  director is not eliminated (i)&nbsp;for any breach of such director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Registrant
  or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
  misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Sections&nbsp;61 or 62 of the predecessor
  Massachusetts Business Corporation Law as in effect at the time our Articles of Organization were
  last amended, or any amendatory or successor provision thereto (which includes Section&nbsp;6.40 and
  6.41 under the new Massachusetts Business Corporation Law that went into effect on July&nbsp;1, 2004),
  and (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. This
  provision is intended to afford directors additional protection, and limit their potential
  liability, from suits alleging a breach of duty of care by a director. We believe that this
  provision will assist us in maintaining and securing the services of directors who are not
  employees of the Registrant. As a result of the inclusion of such a provision, stockholders may be
  unable to recover monetary damages against directors for actions taken by them that constitute
  fiduciary duties, although it may be possible to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief with
  respect to such actions. If equitable remedies are found not to be available to stockholders for
  any particular case, stockholders may not have any effective remedy against the challenged conduct.
  </DIV>
  
  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our By-Laws also provide that directors and officers shall be indemnified against liabilities
  arising from their service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by
  Massachusetts law, which generally requires that the individual act in good faith and in a manner
  he reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the Registrant&#146;s best interests.

  foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the

  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.

  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  Table of Contents
  The validity of the shares to be offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Posternak
  Blankstein & Lund LLP ("
  PBL
  ") of Boston, Massachusetts. Donald H. Siegel, P.C., a partner of PBL,
  serves as our Secretary.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  We are incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Massachusetts
  Business Corporation Act, which became effective on July 1, 2004 and under which we are governed,
  provides at Section 8.51 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 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.
  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 maintains director and officer liability insurance for the
  benefit of its directors and officers.
  Article Six of our Restated Articles of Organization, as amended and in effect, eliminates the
  personal liability of each member of our Board of Directors to the Registrant or its stockholders
  for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. However, the liability of a
  director is not eliminated (i) for any breach of such director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant
  or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
  misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Sections 61 or 62 of the predecessor
  Massachusetts Business Corporation Law as in effect at the time our Articles of Organization were
  last amended, or any amendatory or successor provision thereto (which includes Section 6.40 and
  6.41 under the new Massachusetts Business Corporation Law that went into effect on July 1, 2004),
  and (iv) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. This
  provision is intended to afford directors additional protection, and limit their potential
  liability, from suits alleging a breach of duty of care by a director. We believe that this
  provision will assist us in maintaining and securing the services of directors who are not
  employees of the Registrant. As a result of the inclusion of such a provision, stockholders may be
  unable to recover monetary damages against directors for actions taken by them that constitute
  fiduciary duties, although it may be possible to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief with
  respect to such actions. If equitable remedies are found not to be available to stockholders for
  any particular case, stockholders may not have any effective remedy against the challenged conduct.
  Our By-Laws also provide that directors and officers shall be indemnified against liabilities
  arising from their service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by
  Massachusetts law, which generally requires that the individual act in good faith and in a manner
  he reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the Registrant's best interests.

  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 (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
  4
  Table of Contents
  (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
  registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum
  offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
  pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act 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;
  (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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated by reference in
  this 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 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.
