Incorporation Of Documents by Reference. - ------ --------------------------------------- The Company hereby incorporates by reference the documents listed in (a) through (c) below. In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") (prior to the filing of a Post- Effective Amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold) shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. (a) The Company's Prospectus included in its Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-08977. (b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Prospectus referred to in (a) above.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. The Company hereby undertakes to provide without charge to each person who has received a copy of any of the prospectuses to which this registration statement relates, upon the written or oral request of any such person, a copy of any or all the documents that have been or may be incorporated by reference into this registration statement, other than exhibits to such documents (unless such exhibits are incorporated therein by reference). Item 4. Description of Securities. - ------ ------------------------- Not Applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. - ------ -------------------------------------- The validity of the securities offered hereby has been passed upon for the Registrant by Messrs. Brown, Rudnick, Freed & Gesmer, One Financial Center, Boston, Massachusetts 02111. Lawrence M. Levy, Secretary of the Registrant, is a member of Brown, Rudnick, Freed & Gesmer and a stockholder of the Registrant. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. - ------ ----------------------------------------- Article 10 of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors of the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the full extent permitted by Delaware law. Article 11 of the Registrant's By-laws provides that the Registrant may indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a corporation to indemnify directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation in non- derivative suits if such party acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe this conduct was unlawful, as determined in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 further provides that indemnification shall be provided if the party in question is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any claim. II-2 The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its present directors. The Company may also enter into similar agreements with certain of the Company's officers who are not also directors. Generally, the indemnification agreements attempt to provide the maximum protection permitted by Delaware law with respect to indemnification of directors. In addition, the Registrant maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her in any such capacity, subject to certain exceptions.

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 to include any material information with respect to the plan of II-3 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 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 of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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. (c) 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-4 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 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Waltham, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on September 11, 1996.
