Restated Articles of Organization or the By-laws of the Corporation, and except
as otherwise expressly provided in Section B of this Article 6A, a Business
Combination (as hereinafter defined) with, or proposed by or on behalf of, any
Interested Stockholder (as hereinafter defined) or any Affiliate or Associate

shall require the affirmative vote of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the
votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all the then outstanding shares of

by law or in any agreement with any national securities exchange or otherwise.

         B. The provisions of Section A of this Article 6A shall not be
applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business Combination
shall require only such affirmative vote, if any, as is required by law or by
any other provision of these Restated Articles of Organization or the By-laws of
the Corporation, or any agreement with any national securities exchange, if the
Business Combination shall have been approved, either specifically or as a
transaction which is within an approved category of transactions, by a majority
(whether such approval is made prior to or subsequent to the acquisition of, or
announcement or public disclosure of the intention to acquire, beneficial
ownership of the Voting Stock that caused the Interested Stockholder to become
an Interested Stockholder) of the Continuing Directors (as hereinafter defined).

         C. The following definitions shall apply with respect to this Article
6A:

            1.   The term "Business Combination" shall mean:

                 Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) with (i) any Interested
                 Stockholder or (ii) any other company (whether or not itself an
                 Interested Stockholder) which is or after such merger or
                 consolidation would be an Affiliate or Associate of an
                 Interested Stockholder; or

                 b. any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or

                 Affiliate or Associate of any Interested Stockholder involving
                 any assets, securities or commitments of the Corporation, any
                 Subsidiary or any Interested Stockholder or any Affiliate or
                 Associate of any Interested Stockholder which (except for any
                 arrangement, whether as employee, consultant or otherwise,
                 other than as a director, pursuant to which any Interested
                 Stockholder or any Affiliate or Associate thereof shall,

                 for the management of any aspect of the business or affairs of
                 the Corporation, with respect to which arrangements the value
                 tests set forth below shall not apply), together with all other

                 percent of the book value of the total assets (in the case of
                 transactions involving assets or commitments other than capital
                 stock) or 5 percent of the stockholders' equity (in the case of
                 transactions involving assets or commitments other than capital

                 year-end consolidated balance sheet of such entity existing at

                 Subsidiaries or any other transaction (whether or not with or
                 otherwise involving an Interested Stockholder) that has the
                 effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate
                 share of any class or series of Capital Stock, or any
                 securities convertible into Capital Stock or into equity

                 Interested Stockholder; or

                 e. any agreement, contract or other arrangement providing for
                 any one or more of the actions specified in the foregoing
                 clauses (a) to (d).

            Corporation authorized to be issued from time to time under Article
            3 of these Restated Articles of Organization, and the term `Voting
            Stock' shall mean all Capital Stock which by its terms may be voted
            on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Corporation
            generally.

            3. The term "person" shall mean any individual, firm, company or
            other entity and shall include any group comprised of any person and

            of such person has any agreement, arrangement or understanding,
            directly or indirectly, for the purpose of acquiring, holding,
            voting or disposing of Capital Stock.

            4. The term "Interested Stockholder" shall mean any person (other
            than the Corporation or any Subsidiary and other than any
            profit-sharing, employee stock ownership or other employee benefit

            fiduciary with respect to any such plan when acting in such
            capacity) who (a) after June 26, 1986, becomes or announces or
            publicly discloses a plan or intention to become the beneficial
            owner of Voting Stock representing ten percent (10%) or more of the
            votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all then outstanding

            Affiliate or Associate of the Corporation and at any time after June
            26, 1986 and within the two-year period immediately prior to the

            representing ten percent (10%) or more of the votes entitled to be
            cast by the holders of all then outstanding shares of Voting Stock,
            unless such Affiliate or Associate has become such a 10% holder
            solely as a result of Corporate action.

            5. A person shall be a "beneficial owner" of any Capital Stock (a)
            which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates
            beneficially owns, directly or indirectly; (b) which such person or
            any of its Affiliates or Associates has, directly or indirectly, (i)
            the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately
            or subject only to the passage of time), pursuant to any agreement,
            arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion
            rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, or (ii)
            the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or

            "Act") (or any subsequent provisions replacing such Act, rules or
            regulations); or (c) which is beneficially owned, directly or
            indirectly, by any other person with which such person or any of its
            Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement or
            understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or
            disposing of any shares of Capital Stock. For the purposes of




<PAGE>

            determining whether a person is an Interested Stockholder pursuant
            to Paragraph 4 of this Section C, the number of shares of Capital
            Stock deemed to be outstanding shall include shares deemed
            beneficially owned by such person through application of this
            Paragraph 5 of Section C, but shall not include any other shares of
            Capital Stock that may be issuable pursuant to any agreement,
            arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights,
            warrants or options, or otherwise.

            6. The terms "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the respective
            meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities
            Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations
            thereunder (the "Act"), as in effect on date of amendment (the term
            "registrant" in said Rule 12b-2 meaning in this case the
            Corporation).

            7. The term "Subsidiary" means any company of which a majority of
            any class of equity security is beneficially owned by the
            Corporation; provided, however, that for the purposes of the
            definition of Interested Stockholder set forth in Paragraph 4 of
            this Section C, the term "Subsidiary" shall mean only a company of
            which a majority of each class of equity security is beneficially
            owned by the Corporation.

            8. The term "Continuing Director" means any member of the Board of
            Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors"), while such
            person is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not an
            Affiliate or Associate or representative of the Interested
            Stockholder and was a member of the Board of Directors prior to the
            time that the Interested Stockholder became an Interested
            Stockholder, and any successor of a Continuing Director while such
            successor is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not an
            Affiliate or Associate or representative of the Interested
            Stockholder and is recommended or elected to succeed the Continuing
            Director by a majority of Continuing Directors.

            9. The term "Fair Market Value" means (a) in the case of cash, the
            amount of such cash; (b) in the case of stock, the highest closing

            in question of a share of such stock on the Composite Tape for New
            York Stock Exchange Listed Stocks, or, if such stock is not quoted
            on the Composite Tape, on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if such
            stock is not listed on such Exchange, on the principal United States
            securities exchange registered under the Act on which such stock is
            listed, or, if such stock is not listed on any such exchange, the
            highest last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the highest average
            of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market
            with respect to a share of such stock during the 30-day period
            preceding the date in question on the National Association of
            Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System or any similar
            system then in use, or if no such quotations are available, the fair
            market value on the date in question of a share of such stock as
            determined by a majority of the Continuing Directors in good faith;
            and (c) in the case of property other than cash or stock, the fair
            market value of such property on the date in question as determined
            in good faith by a majority of the Continuing Directors.

         D. A majority of the Continuing Directors shall have the power and duty
to determine for the purposes of this Article 6A, on the basis of information
known to them after reasonable inquiry, all questions arising under this Article
6A, including, without limitation, (a) whether a person is an Interested
Stockholder, (b) the number of shares of Capital Stock or other securities
beneficially owned by any person, (c) whether a person is an Affiliate or
Associate of another, (d) whether a Proposed Action is with, or proposed by, or
on behalf of an Interest Stockholder or an Affiliate or Associate of an
Interested Stockholder, (e) whether the assets that are the subject of any
Business Combination have, or the consideration to be received for the issuance
or transfer of securities by the Corporation or any Subsidiary in any Business
Combination has, an aggregate Fair Market Value of $10,000,000 or more, and (f)
whether the assets or securities that are the subject of any Business
Combination constitute a Substantial Part. Any such determination made in good
faith shall be binding and conclusive on all parties.

         E. Nothing contained in this Article 6A shall be construed to relieve
any Interested Stockholder from any fiduciary obligation imposed by law.



<PAGE>

         F. This Article 6A shall not be exclusive with respect to its subject
matter.

         G. Except as otherwise provided in the Restated Articles of
Organization or as otherwise required by law, any merger or consolidation or
sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporations assets,
including its goodwill, which would otherwise require a vote of stockholders of
this Corporation pursuant to Chapter 156B of the General Laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall require the affirmative vote of a majority
of the shares of each class of stock of this Corporation outstanding and
entitled to vote on the question.

         H. For the purposes of this Article 6A, a Business Combination or any
proposal to amend, repeal or adopt any provision of these Restated Articles of
Organization inconsistent with this Article 6A (collectively, "Proposed Action")
is presumed to have been proposed by, or on behalf of, an Interested Stockholder
or an Affiliate or Associate of an Interested Stockholder or a person who
thereafter would become such if (1) after the Interested Stockholder became
such, the Proposed Action is proposed following the election of any director of
the Corporation who with respect to such Interested Stockholder, would not
qualify to serve as a Continuing Director or (2) such Interested Stockholder,
Affiliate, Associate or person votes for or consents to the adoption of any such
Proposed Action, unless as to such Interested Stockholder, Affiliate, Associate
or person a majority of the Continuing Directors makes a good faith
determination that such Proposed Action is not proposed by or on behalf of such
Interested Stockholder, Affiliate, Associate or person, based on information
known to them after reasonable inquiry.

         I. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Restated Articles of
Organization or the By-laws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding the fact
that a lesser percentage or separate class vote may be specified by law, these
Restated Articles of Organization or the By-laws of the Corporation), any
proposal to amend, repeal or adopt any provision of these Articles of
Organization inconsistent with this Article 6A which is proposed by or on behalf
of an Interested Stockholder or an Affiliate or Associate of an Interested
Stockholder shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than
eighty percent (80%) of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all the
then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class;
provided, however, that this Section H shall not apply to, and such eighty
percent (80%) vote shall not be required for, any amendment, repeal or adoption
unanimously recommended by the Board of Directors if all of such directors are
persons who would be eligible to serve as Continuing Directors within the
meaning of Section C, Paragraph 8 of this Article 6A.

ARTICLE 6B

         The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of a Board of Directors consisting of not less than three
nor more than eighteen directors, the exact number of directors to be determined
from time to time by resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the
entire Board of Directors. The directors shall be divided into three classes,
designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly
as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting
the entire Board of Directors. If the number of directors is changed, any
increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain
the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any
additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an
increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the
remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of
directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold
office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until
his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior
death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Any
vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of
directors may only be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in
office, provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring in
the Board of Directors may only be filled by a majority of the directors then in
office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any
director elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number

nominations has been given, either by personal delivery or by United States
mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary not later than forty-five days prior to

such notice shall set forth: (a) the name and address of the stockholder who
intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; (b)

each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons)
pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the
stockholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such
stockholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed
pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (e)
the consent of each nominee to serve as a director if so elected. The presiding
officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person
not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

removed for cause only after a reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard
before the body proposing to remove him.
