  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.

  In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant

  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.

  Item 6. Indemnification of
  Directors and Officers.
  Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of
  Massachusetts authorizes a Massachusetts corporation to indemnify any director,
  officer, employee or other agent of the corporation, any person who serves at
  its request as a director, officer, employee or other agent of another
  organization, or any person who serves at its request in any capacity with
  respect to any employee benefit plan, to whatever extent specified in or
  authorized by (i) the articles of organization, (ii) a by-law adopted by the
  stockholders or (iii) a vote adopted by the holders of a majority of the shares
  of stock entitled to vote on the election of directors.
  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.
  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,
  2
  Table of Contents
  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 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;
  (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
  3
  Table of Contents
  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
  (5)
  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 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.
