Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Article 6(e) of the Restated Articles of Organization of the
Company provides that no director shall be personally liable to
the Company or any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for any matter in respect of
which such director shall be liable under Sections 61 and 62 of
Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws or any amendment
thereto or successor provision thereto or shall be liable by
reason that, in addition to any and all other requirements for
such liability, he (i) shall have breached his duty of loyalty to
the Company or its stockholders, (ii) shall not have acted in
good faith or, in failing to act, shall not have acted in good
faith, (iii) shall have acted in a manner involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act,
shall have acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or
a knowing violation of law or, in failing to act, shall have
acted in a manner involving intentional misconduct or knowing
violation of law, or (iv) shall have derived an improper personal
benefit.

     Article IV of the bylaws of the Company provides for the
indemnification of directors and officers of the Company, as well
as others serving at the Company's request in such capacity for
another entity, against all expenses and liabilities reasonably
incurred while serving in such capacity; except that no
indemnification may be afforded in instances where the individual
is adjudged not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable
belief that such action was in the best interests of the Company.

Indemnification may be afforded in connection with the settlement
of an action but only in accordance with a Board resolution and
if the Company has received an opinion of counsel that such
settlement is in the best interest of the Company and that such
individual appears to have acted in good faith in the reasonable
belief that his action was in the best interests of the Company.

     The Company is authorized pursuant to Section 67 of Chapter
156B of the Massachusetts General Laws to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees, and
agents, as well as others serving at the Company's request in
such capacity for another entity, against any liabilities
asserted against such persons whether or not the Company would
have the power to indemnify such directors, officers, employees,
or agents against such liability under the Massachusetts Business
Corporation Law.  The Company has purchased such insurance for
its officers and directors.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed

     Not Applicable.





                            II-2



Item 8. Exhibits

     The Exhibits listed on the accompanying Index to Exhibits are filed as
part hereof, or incorporated by reference into, this Registration Statement.
(See Exhibit Index below).

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:

          (i)    To include any prospectus required by section
     10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.

          (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
     arising after the effective date of this Registration
     Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
     thereto) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
     a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
     Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
     amendment thereto).

          (iii)  To include any material information with respect
     to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
     registration statement or any material change in such
     information in the registration statement.

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
above shall not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

                            II-3



     (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.

(b)  The undersigned issuer 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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
and 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.

(h)  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
provisions described in Item 6 of this Part II, 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, therefor, 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.
