(1)      Such shares are issuable upon exercise of outstanding options with
         fixed exercise prices. Pursuant to Rule 457(h), the aggregate offering
         price and the fee have been computed upon the basis of the price at
         which the options may be exercised. The offering price per share set
         forth for such shares is the exercise price per share at which such
         options are exercisable.

(2)      Calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1993.

(3)      Pursuant to the Rights Agreement of the Registrant between the
         Registrant and Fleet National Bank, one common share purchase right of
         the Registrant (each a "Right") is deemed to be delivered with each
         share of Common Stock issued by the Registrant. The Rights currently
         are not separately transferable apart from the Common Stock, nor are
         they exercisable until the occurrence of certain events. Accordingly,
         no independent value has been attributed to the Rights.

                the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (SEC File
                No. 333-47564) initially filed with the Commission on October 6,
                2000.

         All documents subsequently filed with the Commission by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Section 67 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law provides that

liabilities and expenses in connection with any legal proceeding to which such
officer or director may become a party by reason of being or having been an
officer or director, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith
in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interests of

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:

                           (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 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 a 20 percent change
                           in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
                           the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
                           effective registration statement;



                                     - 8 -

                           (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.

                  (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 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 (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 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.



                                   SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 Boston, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on this
19th day of November, 2001.
