                             ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT

                                      OF

                      RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

                                      OF

                               WEEKS CORPORATION
                                        
                                      I.

     The name of the corporation is Weeks Corporation (the "Corporation").

                                      II.

     The amendment (the "Amendment") is to add the following as a new Section
2.2.2 of the Corporation's Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the
"Articles of Incorporation"), to determine the terms of a series of the
Preferred Stock.  All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Articles of Incorporation.

"Section 2.2.2.  Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
                 --------------------------------------------- 

     (i) TITLE; NUMBER.  The shares of such series shall be designated as
"Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series B Preferred Stock")
and the number of shares constituting the Series B Preferred Stock shall be
100,000.  Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of
the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of
                        --------                                             
shares of Series B Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares
then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of
any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series B
Preferred Stock.

     (ii)  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.

       (A) Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of
  Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the
  Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of
  Series B Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of common stock, par
  value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of any
  other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by
  the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose,
  quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of each January, April,
  July and October or, if not a Business Day (as hereinafter defined), the next
  succeeding Business Day in each year (each such date being referred to herein
  as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly
  Dividend Payment
<PAGE>
 
  Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series B
  Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to
  the greater of (1) $1.00 or (2) subject to the provision for adjustment
  hereinafter set forth, 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash
  dividends, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of
  all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable
  in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common
  Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock since
  the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect to
  the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any
  share or fraction of a share of Series B Preferred Stock. In the event the
  Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock
  payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or
  consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification
  or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
  greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the
  amount to which holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock were entitled
  immediately prior to such event under clause (2) of the preceding sentence
  shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of
  which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
  such event, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common
  Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

       "Business Day" shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that
  is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in New York
  City are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to
  close.

       (B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the
  Series B Preferred Stock as provided in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph
  (ii) immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common
  Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided
  that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the
  Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and
  the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per
  share on the Series B Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such
  subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

       (C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding
  shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date
  next preceding the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of
  such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend
  Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue
  from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a
  Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the
  determination of holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to
  receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date,
  in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be
  cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.  Accrued but unpaid
  dividends shall not bear interest.  Dividends paid on the shares of Series B
  Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at
  the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
  pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time
  outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the
  determination of holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to
  receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record
  date shall be not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment
  thereof.

       (iii)  VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall have the following voting rights:

       (A) Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each
  share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 1,000
  votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the
  Corporation.  In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay
  any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect
  a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of
  Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend
  in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
  Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders
  of shares of Series B Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such
  event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the
  numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
  immediately after such event, and the denominator of which is the number of
  shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

       (B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in any other amendment to the
  Articles of Incorporation creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar
  stock, or by law, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the
  holders of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having
  general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters
  submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.

       (C) Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law, holders
  of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their
  consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote
  with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate
  action.

       (iv)  CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS.

       (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions
  payable on the Series B Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (ii) are in
  arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and
  distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series B Preferred Stock
  outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:

            (1) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on
       any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or the
       distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to
       the Series B Preferred Stock;

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
            (2) declare or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on
       any shares of stock ranking on parity (either as to dividends or the
       distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with
       the Series B Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series
       B Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are
       payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the
       holders of all such shares are then entitled;

            (3) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares
       of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or the distribution
       of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B
       Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem,
       purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange
       for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to
       dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
       winding up) to the Series B Preferred Stock; or

            (4) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
       shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a
       parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a
       purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the
       Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the
       Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend
       rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series
       and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and
       equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

       (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to
  purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the
  Corporation unless the Corporation could, under subparagraph (A) of this
  paragraph (iv), purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in
  such manner.

       (v) REACQUIRED SHARES.  Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased
or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be
retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof.  All such shares
shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred
Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to
the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Articles of
Incorporation, or in any other amendment to Articles of Incorporation creating a
series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.

       (vi) LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP.  Upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (A)
to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or the
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the
Series B Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series
B Preferred Stock shall have received $1,000 per share, plus an amount equal to
accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared,
to the date of such payment, provided that the holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter
set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share
to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (B) to the holders of shares of stock
ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or the distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Preferred Stock,
except distributions made ratably on the Series B Preferred Stock and all such
parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the
event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the
Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or
combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each
such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause
(A) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such
event.

       (vii)  CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.  In case the Corporation shall enter
into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the
shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or converted into other stock or
securities, cash or any other property, then in any such case each share of
Series B Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or
converted into an amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment
hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount of stock,
securities, cash or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be,
into which or for which each share of Common Stock is exchanged or converted.
In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on
the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or
combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each
such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the
exchange or conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be adjusted
by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the
denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
outstanding immediately prior to such event.

       (viii)  NO REDEMPTION.  The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not
be redeemable.

       (ix) RANK.  The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the
payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to all series of any
other class of the Corporation's Preferred Stock.

       (x) AMENDMENT.  The Articles of Incorporation shall not be amended in any
manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special
rights of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without
the affirmative vote of the holders of at 

                                      -5-

least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting
together as a single class."
                                     III.

  This Amendment was adopted by the Board of Directors on May 20, 1998.

                                      IV.
  This Amendment was duly adopted by the Board of Directors without shareholder
approval, as such approval was not required.
