of fiduciary duty, no director of the corporation shall be personally liable to
the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such
liability. No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have
any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the
corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director
occurring prior to such amendment.

6B.  INDEMNIFICATION

     1.  The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the
applicable provisions of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws, as
amended from time to time, indemnify each person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by
reason of the fact that he is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or
officer of the corporation, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the
request of the corporation, as a director or officer of, or in a similar
capacity with, another organization or in any capacity with respect to any
employee benefit plan of the corporation (all such persons being referred to
hereafter as an "Indemnitee"), or by reason of any action alleged to have been
taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement incurred by or on behalf
of an Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any
appeal therefrom, unless such Indemnitee shall be finally adjudicated in such
action, suit or proceeding not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable
belief that his action was in the best interests of the corporation or, to the
extent such matter relates to service with respect to an employee benefit plan,
in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such employee
benefit plan.

     2.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 of this Article, in the
event that a pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding is compromised or
settled in a manner which imposes any liability or obligation upon an Indemnitee
in a matter for which such Indemnitee would otherwise be entitled to
indemnification hereunder, no

<Page>

indemnification shall be provided to such Indemnitee with respect to such matter
if it is determined that such Indemnitee did not act in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the corporation
or, to the extent such matter relates to service with respect to an employee
benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such
employee benefit plan.

     3.  As a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified, the Indemnitee
must notify the corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action,
suit, proceeding or investigation involving him for which indemnity will or
could be sought. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation
of which the corporation is so notified, the corporation will be entitled to
participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at
its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.

     4.  In the event that the corporation does not assume the defense of any
action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the corporation receives
notice under this Article, the corporation shall pay in advance of the final
disposition of such matter any expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by
an Indemnitee in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, proceeding or
investigation or any appeal therefrom; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the payment of
such expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of
such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall
ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified
by the corporation as authorized in this Article, which undertaking shall be
accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make
such repayment; and FURTHER PROVIDED that no such advancement of expenses shall
be made if it is determined that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith in the
reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the corporation
or, to the extent such matter relates to service with respect to an employee
benefit plan, in the best interests of the participants or beneficiaries of such
employee benefit plan.

     5.  All determinations hereunder as to the entitlement of an Indemnitee to
indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be made by: (a) a majority vote
of a quorum of the directors of the corporation, (b) a majority vote of a quorum
of the outstanding shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote for
directors, voting as a single class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders
who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question,
(c) independent legal counsel (who may, to the extent permitted by law, be
regular legal counsel to the corporation), or (d) a court of competent
jurisdiction.

     6.  The corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee seeking
indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
such Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of
Directors of

                                       -2-
<Page>

the corporation. In addition, the corporation shall not indemnify any such
Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of
insurance, and in the event the corporation makes any indemnification payments
to any such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the
proceeds of insurance, such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such
indemnification payments to the corporation to the extent of such insurance
reimbursement.

     7.  The indemnification rights provided in this Article (i) shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled
under any law, agreement or vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise, and
(ii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of
such Indemnitees. The corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to
time by its Board of Directors, grant indemnification rights to other employees
or agents of the corporation or other persons serving the corporation and such
rights may be equivalent to, or greater or less than, those set forth in this
Article.

6C.  OTHER PROVISIONS

     (a) The directors may make, amend, or repeal the by-laws in whole or in
part, except with respect to any provision of such by-laws which by law or these
Articles or the by-laws requires action by the stockholders.

     (b) Meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be held anywhere in
the United States.

     (c) The corporation shall have the power to be a partner in any business
enterprise which this corporation would have the power to conduct by itself.

     (d) The corporation, by vote of a majority of the stock outstanding and
entitled to vote thereon (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled
to vote as separate classes, then by vote of a majority of each such class of
stock outstanding), may (i) authorize any amendment to its Articles of
Organization pursuant to Section 71 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General
Laws, as amended from time to time, (ii) authorize the sale, lease or exchange
of all or substantially all of its property and assets, including its goodwill,
pursuant to Section 75 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws, as
amended from time to time, and (iii) approve an agreement of merger or
consolidation pursuant to Section 78 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts
General Laws, as amended from time to time.
