The Board of Directors currently consists of six directors. The
Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with one class
being elected each year for a term of three years. It is
proposed that Robert J. Shillman and Reuben Wasserman, whose
terms expire at this meeting, be elected to serve terms of three
years and in each case until their successors are duly elected
and qualified or until they sooner die, resign or are removed.

The persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote, unless
authority is withheld, &#147;for&#148; the election of the
nominees named above. The Board of Directors anticipates that
each of the nominees, if elected, will serve as a director. If
any nominee is unable to accept election, the persons named in
the accompanying proxy will vote for such substitute as the
Board of Directors may recommend. Should the Board of Directors
not recommend a substitute for any nominee, the proxy will be
voted for the election of the remaining nominee. There are no
family relationships between any Director and executive officer
of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

When considering a potential candidate for membership on the
Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee will consider any
criteria it deems appropriate, including, among other things,
the experience and qualifications of any particular candidate as
well as such candidate&#146;s past or anticipated contributions
to the Board and its committees. At a minimum, each nominee is
expected to have high personal and professional integrity and
demonstrated ability and judgment, and to be effective, with the
other Directors, in collectively serving the long-term interests
of the shareholders. In addition to the minimum qualifications
set forth for each nominee above, when considering potential
candidates for the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee
seeks to ensure that the Board of Directors is comprised of a
majority of independent directors and that the committees of the
Board of Directors are comprised entirely of independent
directors. The Nominating Committee may also consider any other
standards that it deems appropriate, including whether a
potential candidate has direct experience in the industry or
markets in which the Corporation operates and whether such
candidate, if elected, would assist in achieving a mix of
directors that represents a diversity of background and
experience. In practice, the Nominating Committee generally will
evaluate and consider all candidates recommended by the
Directors, officers and shareholders of the Corporation. The
Nominating Committee intends to consider shareholder
recommendations for Directors using the same criteria as
potential nominees recommended by the members of the Nominating
Committee or others.

In December 2005, the Nominating Committee met and recommended
Robert J. Shillman and Reuben Wasserman as nominees for election
at this year&#146;s meeting. The Nominating Committee did not
receive any shareholder nominees for election as Director with
respect to the meeting.

The Corporation&#146;s executive compensation program is
administered by the Compensation/ Stock Option Committee (the
&#147;Committee&#148;), which determines executive officer
compensation annually. The Committee is composed of independent
directors who are not employees of the Corporation and its
determinations with respect to compensation for a fiscal year
are generally made at the beginning of the fiscal year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In its deliberations, the Committee considers (i)&nbsp;the
levels of responsibility associated with each executive&#146;s
position, (ii)&nbsp;the past performance of the individual
executive, (iii)&nbsp;the extent to which any individual,
departmental or Corporation-wide goals have been met,
(iv)&nbsp;the overall competitive environment and the level of
compensation necessary to attract and retain talented and
motivated individuals in key positions, and (v)&nbsp;the
recommendations of appropriate officers of the Corporation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Corporation&#146;s compensation program utilizes a
combination of base salaries, annual bonuses and stock option
awards.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In determining the base salaries paid to the Corporation&#146;s
executive officers for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005,
the Committee considered, in particular, their levels of
responsibility, salary increases awarded in the past, and the
executive&#146;s experience and potential.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;color: #000000; background: #ffffff; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; ">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Committee views annual bonuses as a vehicle for rewarding
executives for meeting performance objectives. The Committee
establishes individual and corporate performance targets each
year. Executives are eligible to receive annual cash bonuses
upon achievement of these predetermined targets. In particular,
for 2005, each executive officer was assigned a target annual
cash bonus, which that executive officer was eligible to earn
based on the achievement of certain financial goals set forth in
the Corporation&#146;s annual budget related to the
Corporation&#146;s operating income as a percentage of revenue.
The target bonus for Robert J. Shillman, the Chief Executive
Officer of the Corporation, was $210,000, with the opportunity
to earn <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">0-300%</FONT> of this
amount based on the achievement of such goals; the target bonus
for James F. Hoffmaster, the President and Chief Operating
Officer of the Corporation, was $175,000, with the opportunity
to earn 0-250% of this amount based on the achievement of such
goals; and the target bonus for Richard A. Morin, Senior Vice
President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the
Corporation, was $92,000, with the opportunity to earn 0-200% of
this amount based on the achievement of such goals. The annual
bonuses for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005, reflect the
achievement of the predetermined targets, and were paid in
February 2006. Dr.&nbsp;Shillman elected to forgo his 2005
bonus, and requested that the Corporation donate it to a public
charity.

The Corporation&#146;s stock option program is intended to
reward the participating executives for their efforts in
building shareholder value and improving corporate performance
over the long term. The stock option program also promotes the
retention of talented executives. In determining the number of
options granted to executive officers, the Committee takes into
consideration options granted to such executives in previous
years and the potential value which may be realized upon
exercise of the options as a result of appreciation of the
Corporation&#146;s stock during the option term.

executive officer. Generally, amounts paid in excess of
$1&nbsp;million to a covered executive, other than
performance-based compensation, cannot be deducted. In order to
qualify as performance-based compensation under the tax law,
certain requirements must be met, including approval of the
performance measures by shareholders. In its deliberations, the
Committee considers ways to maximize deductibility of executive
compensation, while retaining the discretion the Committee
considers appropriate to compensate executive officers at levels
commensurate with their responsibilities and achievements.

The Committee established the compensation of Robert J.
Shillman, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the Corporation, for the fiscal year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2005, using the same criteria that were used
to determine the compensation of other executive officers as
described above. In establishing Dr.&nbsp;Shillman&#146;s
compensation for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005, the
Committee considered his level of responsibility, salary
increases awarded in the past, and the significant role that
Dr.&nbsp;Shillman has played in setting the strategic direction
of the Corporation. Dr.&nbsp;Shillman elected to forgo both his
base compensation for fiscal 2005 of $350,000, which represented
an increase of 0% over 2004, as well as his annual bonus of
$181,650, and requested that the Corporation donate his 2005
bonus to a public charity. Dr.&nbsp;Shillman was granted options
to purchase&nbsp;50,000&nbsp;shares of Common Stock at
$25.02&nbsp;per share on January&nbsp;10, 2005.

that the non-audit services are not prohibited under applicable
law and the Audit Committee reasonably determines that the
non-audit services do not impair the independence of the
independent registered public accounting firm. The authority to

The pre-approval requirement is waived with respect to the

(i)&nbsp;the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services
provided to the Corporation constitutes not more than 5% of the
total amount of revenues paid by the Corporation to its
independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal
year in which such non-audit services were provided,
(ii)&nbsp;such services were not recognized at the time of the
engagement to be non-audit services, and (iii)&nbsp;such
services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit
Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by
the Audit Committee or by one or more of its members to whom
authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the
Audit Committee.

All of the audit-related, tax and all other services proved by
Ernst&nbsp;&#38; Young to the Corporation for fiscal years 2005
and 2004 were approved by the Audit Committee by means of either
specific approval or pursuant to the procedures contained in the
Pre-Approval Policy. All non-audit services provided for fiscal
years 2005 and 2004 were reviewed by the Audit Committee, which
concluded that the provision of such services was compatible
with maintaining the independent registered public accounting
firm&#146;s independence.

On June&nbsp;30, 2000, the Corporation became a Limited Partner
in Venrock Associates&nbsp;III, L.P. (&#147;Venrock&#148;), a
venture capital fund. In January 2005, the Corporation amended
its original agreement with Venrock, which reduced the total
investment commitment from $25,000,000 to $22,500,000 and
extended the commitment period from January&nbsp;1, 2005 to
December&nbsp;31, 2010. The Corporation does not have the right
to withdraw from the partnership prior to December&nbsp;31,
2010. As of December&nbsp;31, 2005, the Corporation had
contributed $17,450,000 to the limited partnership.
Mr.&nbsp;Sun, a Director of the Corporation, is a managing
general partner of Venrock Associates. In the Board&#146;s
opinion, the Corporation&#146;s relationship with Venrock
Associates will not interfere with Mr.&nbsp;Sun&#146;s exercise
of independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as
a Director of the Corporation.

In May 2001, Mr.&nbsp;Hoffmaster, President and Chief Operating
Officer of the Corporation, received a personal, non-interest
bearing loan from the Corporation in the principal amount of
$200,000 in conjunction with his hiring. The Corporation
automatically applies any cash bonus payments (less applicable
taxes and deductions) earned by Mr.&nbsp;Hoffmaster to the
repayment of the loan balance. The loan must be repaid upon the
termination of Mr.&nbsp;Hoffmaster&#146;s employment, unless the
Corporation terminates Mr.&nbsp;Hoffmaster&#146;s employment for
any reason other than cause, in which case the unpaid balance
shall be forgiven. The largest aggregate amount outstanding
under the loan during fiscal 2005 was $183,244. The amount
outstanding as of February&nbsp;26, 2006, was $0.

Section&nbsp;16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the
Corporation&#146;s officers and Directors and persons owning
more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation
to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Commission. Officers, Directors and greater than 10% holders of
Common Stock are required by the Commission&#146;s regulations

with the Commission under Section&nbsp;16(a).

Based solely on copies of such forms furnished as provided
above, the Corporation believes that during fiscal 2005, all
Section&nbsp;16(a) filing requirements applicable to its
officers, Directors and owners of greater than 10% of its Common
Stock were complied with, except Mr.&nbsp;Fishman failed to
timely file two Form&nbsp;4&#146;s, each reporting one
transaction, and Mr.&nbsp;Hoffmaster failed to timely file one
Form&nbsp;4 reporting one transaction. When the oversights were
discovered, the appropriate forms were filed promptly.

Under regulations adopted by the Commission, any proposal
submitted for inclusion in the Corporation&#146;s Proxy
Statement relating to the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
must be received at the Corporation&#146;s principal executive
offices in Natick, Massachusetts on or before November&nbsp;15,
2006. Receipt by the Corporation of any such proposal from a
qualified shareholder in a timely manner will not ensure its
inclusion in the proxy material because there are other
requirements in the proxy rules for such inclusion.

In addition to the Commission&#146;s requirements regarding
shareholder proposals, the Corporation&#146;s By-Laws contain
provisions regarding matters to be brought before shareholder
meetings. If shareholder proposals, including proposals
regarding the election of Directors, are to be considered at the
2007 Annual Meeting, notice of them whether or not they are
included in the Corporation&#146;s proxy statement and form of
proxy, must be given by personal delivery or by United States
mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation on or
before February&nbsp;9, 2007. The notice must set forth:
(i)&nbsp;information concerning the shareholder, including his
or her name and address; (ii)&nbsp;a representation that the
shareholder is entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to
appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to present the
matter specified in the notice; and (iii)&nbsp;such other
information as would be required to be included in a proxy
statement soliciting proxies for the presentation of such matter
to the meeting. Shareholder proposals with respect to the
election of directors must also contain other information set
forth in the Corporation&#146;s By-Laws. Proxies solicited by
the Board of Directors will confer discretionary voting
authority with respect to these proposals subject to the
Commission&#146;s rules governing the exercise of this authority.
