PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS.
Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Law
authorizes a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or
other agent of the corporation 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.
Article 6(k) of the Registrant's Restated Articles of Association
provides as follows:
No director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders 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; provided,
however, that to the extent, and only to the extent, required by Section
13(b) (1 1/2) or any successor provision of the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Law, this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability
of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation 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 Massachusetts Business
Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit. This provision shall not be construed
in any way so as to impose or create liability. The foregoing provisions of
this Article 6(k) shall not eliminate the liability of a director for any
act or omission occurring prior to the date on which this Article 6(k)
becomes effective. No amendment to or repeal of this Article 6(k) shall
apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any
director of the corporation for or with respect to any acts or omission of
such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
In addition, Article Section 7 of the Registrant's Amended and
Restated By-Laws, entitled "Indemnification of Directors and Officers,"
provides as follows:
The corporation shall, to the extent legally permissible, indemnify
each of its directors and officers (including persons who act at its
request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization or in
any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan) against all
liabilities and expenses, including amounts paid in satisfaction of
judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and counsel fees,
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or disposition of
any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which
he may be involved or with which he may be threatened, while in office or
thereafter, by reason of his being or having been such a director or
officer, except with respect to any matter as to which he shall have been
adjudicated in any proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the
corporation (any person serving another organization in one or more of the
indicated capacities at the request of the corporation who shall have acted
in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best
interests of such other organization to be deemed as having acted in such
manner with respect to the corporation) or, to the extent that such matter
related to service with respect to any employee benefit plan, in the best
interest of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee benefit
plan; provided, however, that as to any matter disposed of by a compromise
payment by such director or officer, pursuant to a consent decree or
otherwise, no indemnification either for said payment or for any other
expenses shall be provided unless such compromise shall be approved as in
the best interests of the corporation, after notice that it involves such
indemnification: (a) by a disinterested majority of the directors then in
office; or (b) by a majority of the disinterested directors then in office,
provided that there has been obtained an opinion in writing of independent
legal counsel to the effect that such director or officer appears to have
acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the
best interests of the corporation; or (c) by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding stock at the time entitled to vote for directors, voting as
a single class, exclusive of any stock owned by any interested director or
officer. Expenses, including counsel fees, reasonably incurred by any
director or officer in connection with the defense or disposition of any
such action, suit or other proceeding may be paid from time to time by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an
undertaking by such director or officer to repay the amounts so paid to the
corporation if it is ultimately determined that indemnification for such
expenses is not authorized under this Section 7. The right of
indemnification hereby provided shall not be exclusive of or affect any
other rights to which any director or officer may be entitled. As used in
this Section, the terms "director" and "officer" include their respective
heirs, executors and administrators, and an "interested" director or
officer is one against whom in such capacity the proceedings in question or
another proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then pending. Nothing
contained in this Section shall affect any rights to indemnification to
which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled
by contract or otherwise under law.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) 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 (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 this 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;
(2) that prior to any public reoffering of the securities
registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of
this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed
to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer
undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the
information called for by the applicable registration form with
respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters,
in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the
applicable form;
(3) that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph
(2) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the
requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in
connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will
be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement
and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that,
for purposes 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;
(4) to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by
reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13
of this Form S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, within one
business day of receipt of any such request, and to send the
incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt
means, including information contained in documents filed
subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement
through the date of responding to such request; and
(5) to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all
information concerning a transaction, and the company being
acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included
in the registration statement when it became effective.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20 above, 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 of 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 a 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant
has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Hopkinton,
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on October 14, 1999.
