INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

     This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements our Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2004, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 20, 2004 (the “Schedule TO”).

     This Amendment No. 2 is the final amendment to the Schedule TO and its sole purpose is to report the results of our offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share (our “Common Stock”), with an exercise price of $25.00 per share or more granted under our 1997 Stock Plan, as amended, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated September 27, 2004 and filed with the Schedule TO (as amended on October 20, 2004, the “Offer to Purchase”).

Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.

     Item 4 of the Schedule TO is hereby further amended and supplemented to add the following:

     “The Offer expired at 5:00 P.M., Boston, Massachusetts time, on Tuesday, October 26, 2004. Pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, we accepted for purchase all properly tendered and not validly withdrawn options eligible for the Offer to Purchase, which options represented the right to purchase an aggregate of 965,242 shares of Common Stock. This amount represents 99.97% of the outstanding options eligible for the Offer to Purchase, with a total of 160 (99.38%) of our eligible employees (which included our executive officers, as further described in the Offer to Purchase) having elected to tender their eligible options in the Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer to Purchase, we will pay promptly an aggregate purchase price of $3,295,189.10 for such tendered and accepted options.”
