6. 1995 LOSSES OFFSET: SECTION 4.01(B) is deleted in its entirety.
7. SUCCESSOR TO SELLER: Seller and Buyer agree and acknowledge that
after Closing of the transactions contemplated in the Agreement, Seller shall

all of the Seller's assets or capital (including the Purchase Price paid by
Buyer) to a charitable foundation to be established by Seller or to another
appropriate charitable successor to Seller upon terms approved in advance by
the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ("Attorney General").
Prior to and as a condition precedent to any such transfer, any such foundation
or successor of Seller shall have (i) specifically assumed in a writing
acceptable to Buyer all rights and obligations of Seller (including without
limitation indemnification obligations, duties, covenants and liabilities)
pursuant to the Agreement and this First Amendment and other agreements
referred to herein or delivered by or on behalf of Seller at Closing (including
without limitation joining in the Non-Competition Agreement referred to in
SECTION 10.13 and in the form of EXHIBIT D of the Agreement); and (ii) given
reasonable assurance to Buyer in a writing acceptable to Buyer that transfer of
any material part of such foundation's or successor's assets or capital
(including the Purchase Price) will not occur. In addition to all other rights
and remedies of Buyer for breach of this SECTION 7, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, if any, contained in the Agreement, Buyer shall be
entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining Seller from
doing or continuing to do any act in violation of this SECTION 7 and ordering
Seller to cause its successor to assume fully the obligations of Seller
pursuant to the Agreement and this Amendment as required in this SECTION 7
without showing or proving any actual damage sustained by Buyer, it being
acknowledged and agreed by the parties that a breach of this SECTION 7 by
Seller will cause irreparable injury to Buyer for which money damages will not
provide a total and adequate remedy.
8. APPROVAL AND CONFIRMATION BY MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL. As a
3

condition to Closing Seller shall have received and delivered to Buyer a
written approval and confirmation by the Attorney General (and any court of
competent jurisdiction otherwise approving the transactions contemplated in the
Agreement) to the provisions of this First Amendment (including without
limitation SECTION 7 hereof), which approval and confirmation shall also
confirm that all of Buyer's rights under the Agreement against Seller shall be
enforceable fully against Seller and any successor of Seller, including without
limitation that Seller or any such successor of Seller shall be and shall
remain liable to Buyer for all retained liabilities and all indemnification
obligations of Seller to Buyer pursuant to the Agreement.

and (iii) of the Agreement is hereby changed from September 30, 1995 to
December 31, 1995 with the parties to make a good faith effort to close
effective as of November 30, 1995.
10. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT: Except as otherwise amended by this First
Amendment, all terms, conditions and provisions of the Agreement shall remain
unchanged and continue to be effective and binding upon the parties hereto.

of the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement or other material agreements
executed by the parties or any rights of the parties pursuant thereto, except
as otherwise set forth in this First Amendment.
12. TERMS OF AGREEMENT: Except as specifically amended in this First
Amendment, all terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and
continue to be effective and binding upon the parties hereto.
