as convenient.

called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Directors. No call of

     Section 3. Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at
the principal office of the corporation unless a different place (within the

     Section 5. Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Business; Annual Meeting
of Stockholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors
and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at
an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the corporation's notice of
meeting pursuant to Section 4 of this ARTICLE ONE, (b) by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors, or (c) by any stockholder of the corporation who was a
stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this
By-law, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in this By-law.

     For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of the first paragraph of this
By-law, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the
Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than
the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on
the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual
meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual
meeting is more than 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by
the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of
business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the
close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or
the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such
meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event will the public
announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period
for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above. Such stockholder's
notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to
nominate for election as a Director all information relating to such person that
is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of
directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act") and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (including such person's written
consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a
Director if elected); (b) as to any other business desired to be brought before
the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any
material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner,
if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder
giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the
nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as
they appear on the corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner, and (ii)

and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

     Anything contained in the second sentence of the second paragraph of this
By-law to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the number of persons
to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public
announcement naming all of the nominees for Director or specifying the size of
the increased Board of Directors made by

                                       2

the corporation at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this By-law
will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new
positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at
the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of
business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is
first made by the corporation.

     Section 6. Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Business; Special Meetings
of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the
corporation's notice of meeting pursuant to Section 4 of this ARTICLE ONE.

special meeting of stockholders at which Directors are to be elected pursuant to
the corporation's notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors, or (b) by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of
record at the time of giving notice provided by this By-law, who shall be
entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set
forth in this By-law. In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of
stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more persons to the Board of
Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case
may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation's
notice of meeting, if the stockholder's notice required by the second paragraph
of Section 5 of ARTICLE ONE shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal
executive offices of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on
the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of
business o the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th
day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of
the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be
elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an
adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a
stockholder's notice as described above.

     Section 7. Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Business; General. Only
such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in
these By-laws shall be eligible to serve as Directors and only such business
shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought
before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these By-laws.
Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these
By-laws, the presiding officer of the meeting shall have the power and duty to
determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the
meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in these By-laws and, if any proposed nomination or
business is not in compliance with these By-laws, to declare that such defective
nomination or proposal shall be disregarded.

     For purposes of these By-laws, "public announcement" shall mean disclosure
in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or
comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the
corporation with the

                                       3

<PAGE>


Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.

     Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of these By-laws to the
contrary notwithstanding, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with
respect to the matters set forth in these By-laws. Nothing in these By-laws
shall be deemed to affect the rights (a) of stockholders to request the
inclusion of proposals in the corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule
14a-8 under the Exchange Act, or (b) of the holders of any series of Preferred
Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.

     Section 8. Quorum. At any meeting of stockholders a quorum for the
transaction of business shall consist of one or more individuals appearing in
person and/or as proxies and owning and/or representing a majority of the shares
of the corporation then outstanding and entitled to vote, provided that in the
absence of a quorum, the stockholders may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting
from time to time until a quorum shall be present.

     Section 9. Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have one vote for
each share of stock entitled to vote, and a proportionate vote for any
fractional share entitled to vote, held by him of record according to the
records of the corporation, unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of
Incorporation or by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors
establishing rights of Preferred Stock as provided for in the Certificate of
Incorporation. Stockholders may vote either in person or by proxy dated not more
than three years before the meeting named therein, unless the proxy provides for
a longer period. A stockholder may grant authority to another person or persons
to act for such stockholder by proxy (a) by the stockholder or such
stockholder's authorized officer, director, employee or agent executing a
writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any
reasonable means, including facsimile signature or (b) by transmitting or
authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram or other means of
electronic transmission to the intended holder of the proxy or to a proxy
solicitation firm, proxy support service or similar agent duly authorized by the
intended proxy holder to receive such transmission; provided, that any such
telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission must either set forth or be
submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram,
cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.
Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the
writing or transmission by which a stockholder has authorized another person to
act as proxy for such stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the
original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original
writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile
telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the
entire original writing or transmission. A proxy purporting to be executed by or
on behalf of a stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior
to its exercise.

     Section 10. Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present, the action of the
stockholders on any matter properly brought before such meeting shall be decided
by the holders of a majority of the stock present or represented and entitled to
vote and voting on such matter, except where a different vote is required by
law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws. Any election by
stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the
stockholders entitled to vote at the election. No ballot shall be required for
such election unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the
meeting and entitled to vote in the election.

     Section 11. Special Action. Any action to be taken by the stockholders may
be taken without a meeting if all stockholders entitled to vote on the matter
consent to the action by a writing filed with the records of the meetings of
stockholders. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote at a
meeting.

     Section 12. Record Date. The Directors may fix in advance a time which
shall be not more than sixty days prior to (a) the date of any meeting of
stockholders and not less than ten days prior to such meeting, (b) the date for
the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution to stockholders,
or (c) the last day on which the consent or dissent of stockholders may be
effectively expressed for any purpose, as the record date for determining the
stockholders having the right to notice of and to vote at such meeting and any
adjournment thereof, the right to receive such dividend or distribution, or the
right to give consent or dissent. The Board of Directors may fix a new record
date, or confirm an existing record date, for the purpose of determining the
stockholders entitled to vote at any adjourned or postponed meeting. In each
such case only stockholders of record on such record date shall have such right,
notwithstanding any transfer of stock on the books of the corporation after the
record date.

     Section 13. Stockholder List. The officer who has charge of the stock
ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every
meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders, arranged in
alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number
of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to
the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting,
during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the
meeting, either at a place within the city or other municipality or community
where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of
the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be
held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the
meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder
who is present. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the
stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this
Section or the books of the corporation, or to vote at any meeting of
stockholders.

accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to
transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to
the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the
transaction upon its books. Upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from
the registered owner of uncertificated shares such uncertificated shares shall
be cancelled and issuance of new equivalent uncertificated shares or certificate
shares shall be made to the person entitled thereto and the transaction shall be
recorded upon the books of the corporation.

     Section 3. Equitable Interests Not Recognized. The corporation shall be
entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the
holder in fact thereof and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or
other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other
person except as may be otherwise expressly provided by law.

     Section 4. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The Directors of the corporation
may, subject to any contrary provision of law, determine the conditions upon
which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of any certificate
alleged to have been lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated.

or of the Secretary. Said copies and records need not be all kept in the same
office. They shall be available at all reasonable times to the inspection of any
stockholder for any proper purpose but not to secure a list of stockholders for

Incorporation, or these By-laws requires action by the stockholders. Not later
than the time of giving notice of the meeting of stockholders next following the
making, amending or repealing by the Directors of any By-law, notice thereof
stating the substance of such change shall be given to all stockholders entitled
to

                                       12

vote on amending the By-laws. Any By-law adopted by the Directors may be amended
or repealed by the stockholders.

                                 ARTICLE ELEVEN

                                 Indemnification

     Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party
to or is otherwise involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any
actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a Director or officer of the corporation or
that, being or having been such a Director or officer of the Corporation, such
person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to any
employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such
proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as such a Director or
officer or in any other capacity while serving as such a Director or officer,
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the full extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), or by other applicable law
as then in effect, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in
settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in
connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee
who has ceased to be a Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the
indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except
as provided in Section 2 of this ARTICLE ELEVEN with respect to proceedings
seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the corporation shall indemnify
any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated
by any such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized
or ratified by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in
this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by
the corporation the expenses incurred in defending (or otherwise appearing in)
any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an
"advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that an advancement of expenses
shall be made only upon delivery to the corporation of an undertaking
(hereinafter an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial
decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or
otherwise.

     Section 2. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 of
this ARTICLE ELEVEN is not paid in full by the corporation within 60 days after
a written claim has been received by the corporation, except in the case of a
claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall
be 20 days, the

                                       13

<PAGE>

indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any
such suit, or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of
expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be
entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. The
indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this
ARTICLE ELEVEN upon submission of a written claim (and, in an action brought to
enforce a claim for an advancement of expenses, where the required undertaking
has been tendered to the corporation), and thereafter the corporation shall have
the burden of proof that the indemnitee is not so entitled. Neither the failure
of the corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel
or the stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances
nor an actual determination by the corporation (including the Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel or the stockholders) that the indemnitee is
not entitled to indemnification shall be a defense to the suit or create a
presumption that the indemnitee is not so entitled.

     Section 3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to
the advancement of expenses conferred by this ARTICLE ELEVEN shall not be
exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under
any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors,
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the corporation or
otherwise. Notwithstanding any amendment to or repeal of this ARTICLE ELEVEN,
any indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the
provisions hereof with respect to any acts or omissions of such indemnitee
occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

     Section 4. Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its
expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the DGCL.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

                        Principal and Registered Offices

     Section 1. Principal Office. The corporation's principal office shall be
500 Main Street, Groton, Massachusetts or such other place as the Board of
Directors may designate.


     Section 2. Registered Office. The corporation's registered office shall be
229 South State Street, City of Dover, County of Kent, Delaware, or such other
place as the Board of Directors may designate.
