             SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class
of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Officers,
directors and greater-than-10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to
furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

     Based solely upon review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished
to the Company during fiscal 1997 and Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished
to the Company with respect to fiscal 1997, or written representations that Form
5 was not required, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater-than-10%
stockholders were fulfilled in a timely manner, with the exception of one late
Form 3 and one late Form 4 (concerning one option exercise and sale of the
underlying stock) by Mr. Young; one late Form 4 (concerning a single grant of
options to acquire Common Stock) by each of Messrs. Jones,



                                       -4-

Nelson and Marvin; one late Form 4 by Mr. Daniels in his individual capacity
(relating to three transactions involving the sale of shares); one late Form 3
and one late Form 5 by Mr. Daniels in his capacity as trustee of the 1996
Daniels Voting Trust (relating to the initial contribution of shares to the 1996
Daniels Voting Trust); and one late Form 3 and two late Forms 4 (relating to
five transactions involving the sale of shares) by Mrs. Daniels. After
investigating these matters, the Company has concluded that any omissions were
inadvertent, and that none of the transactions gave rise to liability under
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act for recapture of short-swing profits.

(1)  Represents shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of incentive stock
     options granted under the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan.

(2)  The Company granted to employees options for the purchase of an aggregate
     of 548,098 shares of Common Stock in fiscal 1997 pursuant to the 1994 Stock
     Option Plan. This includes options cancelled in exchange for the grant of
     new options as set forth in note 5 to this table.

(3)  All options were granted at exercise prices not less than the fair market
     value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.

(4)  Potential realizable value means the value of the shares of Common Stock
     underlying the option, at the specified assumed annual rates of stock price
     appreciation, compounded over the option term (10 years). Actual gains, if
     any, realized on stock option exercises are dependent on the future
     performance of the Common Stock and overall stock market conditions. There
     can be no assurance that the values reflected in this table will be
     realized.

(5)  Represents options to acquire shares of Common Stock granted as of July 31,
     1997 conditioned upon the exchange for cancellation of options granted on
     or after August 1, 1996 to acquire a number of shares equal to at least
     twice the number set forth in column 1. All such options retain the
     expiration date of the cancelled options, and are exercisable as to 25% of
     the shares covered as of the date nine years prior to the expiration date
     and become exercisable as to a further 25% annually thereafter.

(6)  All such options expire ten years after the date of grant, and first become
     exercisable as to 25% of the shares covered on the first anniversary of the
     date of grant and as to a further 25% annually thereafter.

(7)  Represents an option granted to Mr. Sample on February 5, 1997 and
     cancelled at Mr. Sample's election. See "Employment Contracts".

(8)  Mr. Sawyer resigned from his employment by the Company in November 1997.

     1997, as reported by the Nasdaq National Market ($22.875 per share), less

     never be realized. Actual gains, if any, on exercise will depend on the
     value of the Common Stock on the date of the sale of the shares.

          Employment Contracts. In connection with the employment of Mr. Sample
as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Company entered
into an offer letter with Mr. Sample dated January 30, 1997 (the "Offer
Letter"). The Offer Letter provides, among other things, that Mr. Sample will be
paid a base salary of $22,917 per month, subject to annual review after
September 30, 1997, and will generally be entitled to receive up to one hundred
percent (100%) of his base salary as a bonus under the Company's Executive Bonus
Plan depending upon the Company's performance. For fiscal 1997 any such bonus
was to be pro-rated, but was guaranteed to be at least sixty percent (60%) of
the maximum payable after such pro-ration. Mr. Sample's actual bonus for fiscal
1997 was $96,250. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer Letter, the Company granted
to Mr. Sample a non-qualified stock option to acquire 200,000 shares of Common
Stock, which would have vested in four equal annual installments. However, that
option was cancelled at Mr. Sample's election, and a new option to acquire
100,000 shares was granted to Mr. Sample in its place, pursuant to an offer
extended to all employees of the Company who received option grants between
August 1, 1996 and July 31, 1997. The replacement option also vests in four
equal annual installments. The Offer Letter also provides that the Company will
pay one year's severance pay in the event of the termination of Mr. Sample's
employment under certain circumstances and that the Company will reimburse
certain moving costs and extend to Mr. Sample an interest-free loan of up to
$300,000 for use solely to acquire a new residence, which loan will be forgiven
with respect to one eighth of the amount thereof at the close of business on the
last business day of each calendar quarter if Mr. Sample is still employed by
the Company. The Company forgave $75,000 of such loan during fiscal 1997.


          On February 11, 1997, the Company entered into a consulting contract
with Mr. Daniels (the "Consulting Contract"). The Consulting Contract provided,
among other things, that Mr. Daniels would be retained as a consultant to the
Company at an annual rate of compensation of $50,000, the amount of such
compensation and the continuation of his engagement as a consultant to be
subject to change at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer. The
Consulting Contract also provided for the continuation of certain employment
benefits during the period of his retention as a consultant for the Company.
Finally, Mr. Daniels was allowed to retain his executive assistant at the
Company's expense for not more than six months, and to continue to occupy his
office at the Company's headquarters in Cambridge subject to the Chief Executive
Officer's review. The Consulting Contract was terminated on August 14, 1997.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

          William G. Nelson and Michael D. Marvin served on the Compensation
Committee during fiscal 1997. Neither Mr. Nelson nor Mr. Marvin, nor any
executive officer of the Company, has any relationship requiring disclosure by
the Company pursuant to item 402(j) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

or one of the Company's subsidiaries ("Outside Directors") receive fees of
$2,500 per quarter plus $500 for each meeting of the Board of Directors or
Committee of the Board which they attend, and are reimbursed for out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as directors of the
Company. Directors who are employees of the Company are not paid any separate
fees for serving as directors.

          Pursuant to the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"),
each Outside Director, upon first joining the Board, is automatically granted an
option to purchase 12,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of the Common Stock (determined in accordance with the
terms of the Option Plan) on the date of grant, vesting in three equal annual
installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. In
addition, each Outside Director who continues to serve as a director following
any annual meeting of stockholders of the Company or special meeting in lieu
thereof is automatically granted, immediately following such meeting of
stockholders, an option to purchase 4,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock (determined in
accordance with the terms of the Option Plan) on the date of grant, vesting in
full on the last day of December in the year in which the option is granted.

     ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

     Mr. Daniels is a 1.69% limited partner in the Charles Square Limited
Partnership, a real estate partnership which operates the hotel, retail and
office complex in Cambridge, Massachusetts in which the Company occupied its
corporate headquarters pursuant to a 13 year lease which expired on December 31,
1997. The Company incurred base rent, real estate taxes, operating expenses and
parking of approximately $2,000,000 to the partnership in fiscal 1997. Although
the total expenses paid under this lease during fiscal 1997 were in excess of
market rates, the Company believes that the total expenses payable under this
lease represented a market rate at the time the lease was entered into.
