     2000; and

  (d)the description of the Registrant's common stock which is
     contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A
     filed by the Registrant under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on March 4, 1988,
     including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of
     updating such description.

  In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates
that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all

filing of such documents.  Any statement contained herein or in a
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superceded for purposes of
this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which
also is contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein modifies or supercedes such earlier statement.  Any
statement so modified or superceded shall not be deemed, except as

Item 4.   Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     The legality of the shares of the Registrant's common stock
being registered pursuant to this registration statement will be
passed upon for the Registrant by Paul T. Dacier, Senior Vice
President and General Counsel of the Registrant.  As of September

Exchange Act) of 319,643 shares of the Registrant's common stock.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the General Laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts authorizes a Massachusetts 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
Organization 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 forgoing
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 omissions of such director
occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

     In addition, 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 such director or
officer in connection with the defense or disposition of any action,
suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which such
director or officer may be involved or with which such director or
officer may be threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason
of such individual being or having been such a director or officer,
except with respect to any matter as to which such director or
officer shall have been adjudicated in any proceeding not to have
acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that such individual's
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 such individual's action
was in the best interest 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 relates to service with respect to any
employee benefit plan, in the best interests 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 such individual's 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 to the corporation
the amounts so paid by 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 9.  Undertakings

 The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes the following:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
         statement to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
         of the Securities Act of 1933;

     (2) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
         statement 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;

     (3) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
         statement 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) 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;

     (5) 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;

     (6) 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; and

     (7) 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by
         the final adjudication of  such issue.


                            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 on Form S-8 to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the Town of
Hopkinton, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on November 16, 2000.
