  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;2.02(b)(4) of Chapter&nbsp;156D of the Massachusetts General Laws allows a corporation to
  eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director of a corporation to the corporation or its
  stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director notwithstanding any
  provision of law imposing such liability, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty,
  failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law,
  authorized the payment of an improper distribution or obtained an improper personal benefit. The
  Registrant has included such a provision in its articles of organization.
  </DIV>
  
  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;8.51(a) of Chapter&nbsp;156D of the Massachusetts General Laws provides that a corporation
  may indemnify its directors against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and
  amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal
  proceeding brought against any director by virtue of his position as a director of the Registrant
  unless he is deemed to have not acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in
  the best interest of the corporation. As noted below, the Registrant has provided for director
  indemnification in its articles of organization and bylaws.
  </DIV>
  
  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;8.52 of Chapter&nbsp;156D of the Massachusetts General Laws 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 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;Section&nbsp;8.56(a) of Chapter&nbsp;156D of the Massachusetts General Laws (&#147;Section&nbsp;8.56&#148;) provides
  that a corporation may indemnify its officers to the same extent as its directors and, for officers
  that are not directors, to the extent provided by (i)&nbsp;the articles of organization, (ii)&nbsp;the
  bylaws, (iii)&nbsp;a vote of the board of directors or (iv)&nbsp;a contract. In all instances, the extent to
  which a corporation provides indemnification to its officers under Section&nbsp;8.56 is optional. As
  noted below, the Registrant has provided for officer indemnification in its articles of
  organization and bylaws.
  </DIV>
  
  <DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s articles of organization and bylaws provide that a director or officer of the
  Registrant shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all liabilities and expenses (including
  judgments, fines, penalties and reasonable attorneys&#146; fees and all amounts paid, other than to the
  corporation or such other organization, in compromise or settlement) imposed upon or incurred by
  any such person in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding brought against him by
  virtue of his position as a director or officer of the Registrant unless he is deemed (in the
  manner provided in the articles of organization and bylaws, respectively) to have not acted in good
  faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Registrant. The
  Registrant shall provide no indemnification with respect to any matter settled or compromised,
  pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, unless such settlement or compromise shall have been
  approved as in the best interests of the corporation, after notice that indemnification is
  involved, by (i)&nbsp;a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors or, (ii)&nbsp;the holders of a
  majority of the outstanding stock entitled to elect directors, voting as a single class, exclusive
  of any stock owned by any such indemnified party. Indemnification may include payment by the
  Registrant of expenses in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the
  final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person
  indemnified to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled
  to indemnification.

  therein is not exclusive, and the Registrant&#146;s articles of organization provide that in the event
  that the Massachusetts General Laws are amended to expand the indemnification permitted to
  directors or officers, the Registrant must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted
  by such law as so amended. The Registrant&#146;s bylaws provide that the indemnification provided
  therein shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or applicable
  insurance coverage.

  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.

  The Registrant is subject to the informational and reporting requirements of Sections 13(a),

  accordance therewith files reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and

  Exchange Act or the latest prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that

  (c)      The description of the securities contained in the Registrant's registration statements on

  shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration

  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  -1-
  Table of Contents
  Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  Not applicable.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Section 2.02(b)(4) of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws allows a corporation to
  eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director of a corporation to the corporation or its
  stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director notwithstanding any
  provision of law imposing such liability, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty,
  failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law,
  authorized the payment of an improper distribution or obtained an improper personal benefit. The
  Registrant has included such a provision in its articles of organization.
  Section 8.51(a) of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws provides that a corporation
  may indemnify its directors against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
  amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal
  proceeding brought against any director by virtue of his position as a director of the Registrant
  unless he is deemed to have not acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in
  the best interest of the corporation. As noted below, the Registrant has provided for director
  indemnification in its articles of organization and bylaws.
  Section 8.52 of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws 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 was a director of the corporation
  against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.
  Section 8.56(a) of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws ("Section 8.56") provides
  that a corporation may indemnify its officers to the same extent as its directors and, for officers
  that are not directors, to the extent provided by (i) the articles of organization, (ii) the
  bylaws, (iii) a vote of the board of directors or (iv) a contract. In all instances, the extent to
  which a corporation provides indemnification to its officers under Section 8.56 is optional. As
  noted below, the Registrant has provided for officer indemnification in its articles of
  organization and bylaws.
  The Registrant's articles of organization and bylaws provide that a director or officer of the
  Registrant shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all liabilities and expenses (including
  judgments, fines, penalties and reasonable attorneys' fees and all amounts paid, other than to the
  corporation or such other organization, in compromise or settlement) imposed upon or incurred by
  any such person in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding brought against him by
  virtue of his position as a director or officer of the Registrant unless he is deemed (in the
  manner provided in the articles of organization and bylaws, respectively) to have not acted in good
  faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Registrant. The
  Registrant shall provide no indemnification with respect to any matter settled or compromised,
  pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, unless such settlement or compromise shall have been
  approved as in the best interests of the corporation, after notice that indemnification is
  involved, by (i) a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors or, (ii) the holders of a
  majority of the outstanding stock entitled to elect directors, voting as a single class, exclusive
  of any stock owned by any such indemnified party. Indemnification may include payment by the
  Registrant of expenses in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding in advance of the
  final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the person
  indemnified to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled
  to indemnification.
  -2-
  Table of Contents
  The Registrant's articles of organization and bylaws provide that the indemnification provided
  therein is not exclusive, and the Registrant's articles of organization provide that in the event
  that the Massachusetts General Laws are amended to expand the indemnification permitted to
  directors or officers, the Registrant must indemnify those persons to the fullest extent permitted
  by such law as so amended. The Registrant's bylaws provide that the indemnification provided
  therein shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or applicable
  insurance coverage.
  The Registrant has purchased and maintains insurance coverage under a policy insuring
  directors and officers of the Registrant against certain liabilities which they may incur as
  directors or officers of the Registrant, which may include coverage for liabilities arising under
  the Securities Act.
  Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
  Not applicable.
  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;
  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 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.
  -3-
  Table of Contents
  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.
