INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL The validity of the securities hereby registered will be passed upon by Hale and Dorr LLP, Boston, Massachusetts. Paul P. Brountas, Esq., a partner of Hale and Dorr LLP, serves as Clerk to the Registrant. Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Article 6A of the Registrant's Articles of Organization, as amended (the "Articles of Organization") provides for indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent permitted under Massachusetts law. Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, provided that, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged not to be entitled to indemnification under Section 67. Article 6A also provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant against liabilities and expenses in connection with any legal proceedings to which they may be made a party or with which they may become involved or threatened by reason of having been an officer or director of the Registrant or of any other organization at the request of the Registrant. Article 6A generally provides that a director or officer of the Registrant (i) shall be indemnified by the Registrant for all expenses of such legal proceedings unless he has been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Registrant, and (ii) shall be indemnified by the Registrant for the expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and compromise of such proceedings. No indemnification will be made to cover costs of settlements and compromises if the Board determines by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors (or, if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Registrant), that such settlement or compromise is not in the best interests of the Registrant. Article 6A permits the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action in advance of its final disposition, subject to receipt of an undertaking by the indemnified person to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification under the Articles of Organization. No advance may be made if the Board of Directors determines, by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors (or, if -3- 4 such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Registrant), that such person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Registrant. Article 6D of the Registrant's Articles of Organization provides that to the full extent permitted under Massachusetts law no director shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unauthorized distributions or loans under Section 61 or 62 of Chapter 156B, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant has directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers. 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. The 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 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; -4- 5 PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and 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 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. 2. The 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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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. 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 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. -5- 6 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 City of Norwood, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on this 18th day of December, 1998.
