Exhibit A

Article VI:
     6.1. The corporation may carry on its business and affairs to the same extent as might an individual, whether as principal, agent, contractor or otherwise.
     6.2. The corporation may carry on any business, operation or activity necessary or convenient to carry out its business and affairs through a wholly or partly owned subsidiary.
     6.3. The directors may make, amend or repeal the by-laws in whole or in part, except with respect to any provision thereof which by law or the by-laws requires action by the shareholders.
     6.4. Approval of a plan of merger or a share exchange requires the approval by a majority of all the shares entitled to vote on the matter by these articles of organization, the by-laws, or under applicable law.
     6.5. The directors may specify the manner in which the accounts of the corporation shall be kept and may determine what constitutes net earnings, profits and surplus, what amounts, if any, shall be reserved for any corporate purpose, and what amounts, if any, shall be declared as dividends. Unless the board of directors otherwise specifies, the excess of the consideration for any share of its capital stock with par value issued by it over such par value shall be surplus. The board of directors may allocate to capital stock less than all of the consideration for any share of its capital stock without par value issued by it, in which case the balance of such consideration shall be surplus. All surplus shall be available for any corporate purpose, including the payment of dividends.
     6.6. A director of the corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that exculpation from liability is not permitted under the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act as in effect at the time such liability is determined. No amendment or repeal of this Article 6.6 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 or repeal.
     6.7. Action required or permitted by the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by shareholders having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to take the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote are present and voting; provided, however, that if at any time this corporation shall have a class of stock registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for so long as such class is so registered, any action by the shareholders of such class must be taken at a meeting of shareholders and may not be taken by written consent.
     6.8. The corporation shall have all powers granted to corporations by the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provided that no such power shall include any activity

 


 

inconsistent with the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act or the general laws of said Commonwealth.
