## Viewing of Proxy Materials via the Internet 

We are able to distribute our Annual Report and this Proxy Statement to our stockholders in a fast and efficient manner via the Internet. This reduces the amount of paper delivered to a stockholder’s address and eliminates the cost of sending these documents by mail. Stockholders may elect to view all future annual reports and proxy statements on the Internet instead of receiving them by mail. You may make this election when voting your proxy this year. Simply follow the instructions to vote via the Internet to register your consent. Your election to view proxy materials online is perpetual unless you revoke it later. Future proxy cards will contain the Internet website address and instructions to view the materials. You will continue to have the option to vote your shares by telephone, mail or via the Internet.

## Stockholder Proposals 

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the Company’s 2013 annual meeting, a stockholder’s proposal must meet the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and be delivered in writing to the Secretary of the Company at its principal executive offices at 20 Sylvan Road, Woburn, MA 01801, no later than December 7, 2012. The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in the proxy materials for the Company’s 2013 annual meeting. 

According to the applicable provisions of our By-laws, if a stockholder wishes to nominate a candidate to serve as a director or to present a proposal at our 2013 annual meeting outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 that will not be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for such meeting, then the stockholder must give written notice to our Corporate Secretary at the address noted above no earlier than January 10, 2013 and no later than February 9, 2013. In the event that the 2013 annual meeting is held more than thirty (30) days before or after the first anniversary of the Company’s 2012 annual meeting, then the required notice must delivered in writing to the Secretary of the Company at the address above no earlier than 120 days prior to the date of the 2013 annual meeting and no later than the later of 90 days prior to the 2013 annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which the public announcement of the date of the 2013 annual meeting is first made by the Company. A proposal that is submitted outside of these time periods will not be considered to be timely and, pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c)(1) under the Exchange Act and if a stockholder properly brings the proposal before the meeting, the proxies that management solicits for that meeting will have discretionary authority to vote on the stockholder’s proposal. Even if a stockholder makes timely notification, the proxies may still exercise discretionary authority in accordance with the SEC’s proxy rules.
