Exhibit 3.1

REVVITY, INC. BY-LAWS

Amended and Restated as of

April 28, 2026

ARTICLE I.

Stockholders.

1. Place of

Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held within Massachusetts unless the Articles of Organization permit the holding of stockholder meetings outside Massachusetts, in which event such meetings may be held either within or without

Massachusetts. Meetings of stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the corporation unless a different place is fixed by the Directors or the Chair of the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting.

2. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on the fourth Tuesday of April in each year (or if that be a legal

holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held, on the next succeeding full business day) at 10:30 o’clock A.M., unless a different hour is fixed by the Directors or the Chair of the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting. The

purposes for which the annual meeting is to be held, in addition to those prescribed by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these By-Laws, may be specified by the Directors or the Chair of the Board and

shall be as specified in the notice of the meeting and only business within such purposes may be conducted at the meeting. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting may be held in lieu thereof and

any action taken at such meeting shall have the same effect as if taken at the annual meeting.

3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of

stockholders may be called by the President or by the Directors. In addition, upon written application of one or more stockholders who are entitled to vote and who hold at least the Required Percentage (as defined below) of the capital stock

entitled to vote at the meeting (the “Voting Stock”), special meetings shall be called by the Secretary, or in case of the death, absence, incapacity or refusal of the Secretary, by any other officer. For purposes of this Section 3,

the “Required Percentage” shall be 25% or such lesser percentage as shall constitute the maximum percentage permitted by law for this purpose. Any request for a call of special meeting of stockholders (a “Call”) by the

holders of the Required Percentage of the Voting Stock shall be governed by and subject to the following:

(a) Any stockholder of record

seeking to solicit requests for a Call pursuant to this Section 3 shall so notify the corporation in writing to the Secretary of the corporation, and such written notification shall set forth the reason or reasons for the Call and the purpose

or purposes of such special meeting and the information required by Section 13(b) and/or Section 14(b), as applicable.

(b) No

solicitation of stockholder requests for a Call (a “Call Solicitation”) may be commenced (i) before the Call Request Record Date, as defined in paragraph (c) of this Section 3, or (ii) during the period of 90 days

following the most recent meeting of the stockholders of the corporation.

(c) In order that the corporation may determine the

stockholders entitled to request a Call, the Board of Directors of the corporation shall fix a record date (the “Call Request Record Date”). Any stockholder of record seeking to solicit stockholder requests for a Call shall, with

delivery to the corporation of the written information specified in paragraph (a), request in writing that the Board of Directors fix the Call Request Record Date. The Board of Directors shall, within 10 days after the date on which such request is

received, adopt a resolution fixing the Call Request Record Date, and such Call Request Record Date shall be not more than 10 days after the date upon which such resolution is adopted by the Board of Directors.

(d) All requests for a Call and revocations thereof shall be delivered to the corporation no later than the 30th day (the “Delivery

Date”) after the Call Request Record Date.

(e) Any stockholder may revoke a prior request for a Call or opposition to a Call by an

instrument in writing delivered prior to the Delivery Date.

(f) Promptly after the Delivery Date, requests for a Call and revocations

thereof shall be counted and verified by an independent party selected by the corporation.

(g) If, in response to any Call Solicitation,

the holders of record of the Required Percentage of the Voting Stock as of the Call Request Record Date submit valid and unrevoked requests for a Call no later than the Delivery Date, the Board of Directors of the corporation shall fix a record date

and a meeting date for the special meeting, provided that the date to be fixed for such meeting shall be no earlier than 60 days or later than 90 days after the Delivery Date, and provided further that the Board of Directors shall not be obligated

to fix a meeting date or to hold any meeting of stockholders within 60 days of the next scheduled meeting of the stockholders of the corporation.

1

(h) In the absence of a quorum at any special meeting called pursuant to a Call

Solicitation, such special meeting may be postponed or adjourned from time to time only by the officer of the corporation entitled to preside at such meeting.

(i) If a Call Solicitation does not receive the support of the holders of record of the Required Percentage of the Voting Stock, no subsequent

Call may be made or solicited by any stockholder during a period of 90 days after the Delivery Date.

4. Notice of Meetings. A written

notice of every meeting of stockholders, stating the place, date and hour thereof, and the purposes for which the meeting is to be held, shall be given by the Secretary or other person calling the meeting at least seven days and no more than 60 days

before the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat and to each stockholder who, by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these By-Laws, is entitled to such notice. A stockholder may waive any

notice required by law, the Articles of Organization or these By-Laws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver shall be in writing, be signed by the stockholder entitled to the notice

and be delivered to the corporation for inclusion with the records of the meeting. A stockholder’s attendance at a meeting: (a) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the stockholder at the beginning

of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and (b) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice,

unless the stockholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

5. Quorum. Unless the Articles of Organization otherwise

provide, a majority in interest of all stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote on any matter shall constitute a quorum with respect to that matter, except that if two or more classes of stock are outstanding and entitled to vote as separate

classes, then in the case of each such class a quorum shall consist of a majority in interest of the stock of that class issued, outstanding and entitled to vote.

6. Adjournments. Except as provided in Section 3 of this Article I, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned to any other time and to

any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these By-Laws by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting, although less than a quorum, or by any officer entitled to preside

or to act as secretary of such meeting, if no stockholder is present. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment. Any business which could have been transacted at any meeting of the stockholders as originally called may

be transacted at any adjournment thereof.

7. Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to

vote held by the stockholder of record according to the records of the corporation and a proportionate vote for a fractional share so held by such stockholder, unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Organization. A stockholder may vote his or

her shares in person or may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for such stockholder by signing an appointment form, either personally or by such stockholder’s

attorney-in-fact. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes. Unless otherwise provided

in the appointment form, an appointment is valid for a period of 11 months from the date the stockholder signed the form or, if it is undated, from the date of its receipt by the officer or agent. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the

stockholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest, as defined in the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act, as in effect from time to time (the “MBCA”).

An appointment made irrevocable is revoked when the interest with which it is coupled is extinguished. The death or incapacity of the stockholder appointing a proxy shall not affect the right of the corporation to accept the proxy’s authority

unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment. A transferee for value of shares subject to an

irrevocable appointment may revoke the appointment if he or she did not know of its existence when he or she acquired the shares and the existence of the irrevocable appointment was not noted conspicuously on the certificate representing the shares

or on the information statement for shares without certificates. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.24 of the MBCA, or any successor Section thereto, and to any express limitation on the proxy’s authority appearing on the face of the

appointment form, the corporation is entitled to accept the proxy’s vote or other action as that of the stockholder making the appointment. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card

color other than white, which shall be reserved for exclusive use of the Board of Directors.

2

8. Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of the stock present

or represented and voting on a matter (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class, the vote of a majority of the stock of that class present or represented and voting on a

matter), except where a larger vote is required by law, the Articles of Organization or these By-Laws, shall decide any matter to be voted on by the stockholders other than an election of directors. A nominee

for director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes

cast at any meeting of stockholders that is a Contested Election Meeting (as defined below). A meeting of stockholders shall be a “Contested Election Meeting” if, as of the day immediately preceding the date of the corporation’s

first notice to stockholders of such meeting sent pursuant to Section 4 of Article I of these By-Laws, as such date is stated in such notice, either (i) there is any person nominated for election as

a director at such meeting who was not nominated for election as a director by the Board of Directors, and such nomination other than by the Board of Directors has not been withdrawn, or (ii) there are more persons nominated for election as

directors at such meeting than there are directors to be elected at such meeting. 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. The

corporation shall not directly or indirectly vote any share of its stock. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as limiting the right of this corporation to vote shares of stock held directly or indirectly by it in a fiduciary capacity.

9. Action without Meeting. Any action to be taken by 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.

10. Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors may adopt such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of

stockholders as it shall deem appropriate, including without limitation such guidelines and procedures as it may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at

a meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules, regulations and procedures as adopted by the Board of Directors, the presiding officer of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules,

regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding officer, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed

by the presiding officer of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety

of those present; (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or attorneys or such other persons as shall be determined by the Board of Directors or the chair

of any meeting; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board

of Directors or the presiding officer of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

11. Meetings by Remote Communication. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Organization, if authorized by the Board of Directors,

subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication: (a) participate in a meeting of

stockholders; and (b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, provided that: (1) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting

by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder; (2) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on

matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings; and (3) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the

meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

12. Form of

Stockholder Action.

(a) Any vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or other action by a stockholder or by the proxy or other agent of

any stockholder shall be considered given in writing, dated and signed, if, in lieu of any other means permitted by law, it consists of an electronic transmission that sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can

determine (1) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder, proxy or agent or by a person authorized to act for the stockholder,

3

proxy or agent; and (2) the date on which such stockholder, proxy, agent or authorized person transmitted the electronic transmission. The date on which the electronic transmission is

transmitted shall be considered to be the date on which it was signed. The electronic transmission shall be considered received by the corporation if it has been sent to any address specified by the corporation for the purpose or, if no address has

been specified, to the principal office of the corporation, addressed to the Secretary or other officer or agent having custody of the records of proceedings of stockholders.

(b) Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a vote, consent, waiver, proxy appointment or other action by a stockholder or by

the proxy or other agent of any stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any purpose for which the original writing could be used, but the copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of

the entire original writing.

13. Nomination of Directors.

(a) Except for (i) any Directors entitled to be elected by the holders of any class or series of preferred stock, (ii) any Directors

elected by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3 of Article II of these By-Laws to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors (however occurring) or (iii) as otherwise required by

applicable law or stock market regulation, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures in this Section 13 or in Section 3 of Article I shall be eligible for election as Directors. Nomination for election to the Board

of Directors at a meeting of stockholders may be made (x) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (y) by any stockholder of the corporation who (1) complies with the notice procedures set forth in Section 13(b) or in

Section 3 of Article I and (2) is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of such notice and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or (z) by any Eligible Stockholder (as

defined in Section 13(c) of Article I) whose Stockholder Nominee (as defined in Section 13(c) of Article I) is included in the corporation’s proxy materials for the relevant annual meeting.

(b) To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received in writing by the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation as

follows: (i) in the case of an election of Directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, not less than 75 days 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 advanced by more than 20 days, or delayed by more than 60 days, from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not later than the close of business on

the later of (A) the 75th day prior to such annual meeting and (B) the seventh day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was given or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever

first occurs; or (ii) in the case of an election of Directors at a special meeting of stockholders, provided that the Board of Directors has determined that Directors shall be elected at such special meeting and the stockholders are not then

prohibited from filling vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board of Directors, not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the 75th day prior to such special meeting and (y) the seventh day following the day on

which notice of the date of such special meeting was given or public disclosure of the date of such special meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the adjournment or postponement of a stockholders’ meeting (or the public

disclosure thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice.

The

stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(A) as to each proposed nominee

(1) such person’s name, age, business address and, if known, residence address,

(2) such person’s principal occupation or employment,

(3) the class and series and number of shares of stock of the corporation which are, directly or indirectly, owned, beneficially or of

record, by such person,

(4) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements

of, or others acting in concert with, such stockholder and such beneficial owner (each, a “Stockholder Associated Person”), on the one hand, and (y) each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or

others acting in concert with such nominee, on the other hand, including all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

(such Act, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”) (or any successor provision thereto) if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made or

any Stockholder Associated Person were the “registrant” for purposes of such Item and the proposed nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant, and

4

(5) any other information concerning such person that must be disclosed as to nominees in

(5) a description of any agreement,

(6) any

other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of

(7) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person(s) named in its

notice,

included in any such solicitation materials).

Not later than 10 days after the record date of the meeting, the information required by

Items (A)(1)-(5) and (B)(1)- (6) of the prior sentence shall be supplemented by the stockholder giving the notice to provide updated information as of the record date. In addition, to be effective, the stockholder’s notice must also be

accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to being named in the corporation’s proxy statement and accompanying proxy card as a nominee and to serve as a Director if elected. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to

furnish such other information as may reasonably be required to determine, among other things, the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director of the corporation and to assess the independence of such proposed nominee.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a stockholder shall not have complied with this Section 13(b) if the stockholder, beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person solicits or does not solicit, as the case may be,

proxies or votes in support of such stockholder’s nominee in contravention of the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 13(b).

Such notice must also be accompanied by a representation as to whether or not such stockholder, beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder

Associated Person intends to solicit proxies in support of any director nominees other than the corporation’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, and, where such stockholder,

beneficial owner and/or Stockholder Associated Person intends to so solicit proxies, the notice and information required by Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

these By-laws, unless otherwise required by law, if any stockholder, beneficial owner and/or Stockholder Associated Person (i) provides notice pursuant to Rule

14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act and (ii) subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule

14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act (or fails to timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the corporation that such stockholder, beneficial owner and/or Stockholder Associated Person has met

the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with the following sentence), then the nomination of each of the director nominees proposed by such stockholder,

beneficial owner and/or Stockholder Associated Person shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of the election of such proposed nominees may have been received by the corporation (any and all of which proxies and votes

shall be disregarded solely with respect to the election of such disregarded nominees but shall be deemed present in person or represented by proxy for quorum purposes and to vote for any other nominees or any other matters at the meeting). If

6

any stockholder, beneficial owner and/or Stockholder Associated Person provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, such stockholder,

beneficial owner and/or Stockholder Associated Person shall deliver to the Secretary of the corporation, no later than five business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act. In addition, if any change occurs with respect to the intent of any such stockholder, beneficial owner and/or Stockholder Associated Person to meet the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3), such stockholder, beneficial owner and/or Stockholder Associated Person shall notify the corporation promptly of such change.

(c)

Proxy Access.

(i) Subject to the provisions of this Section 13(c), the corporation shall include in its proxy statement (including its form of proxy)

for an annual meeting of stockholders the name of any stockholder nominee for election to the Board of Directors submitted pursuant to this Section 13(c) (each a “Stockholder Nominee”) provided (A) timely written notice of such

Stockholder Nominee satisfying this Section 13(c) (“Notice”) is delivered to the corporation by or on behalf of a stockholder or stockholders that, at the time the Notice is delivered, satisfy the ownership and other requirements of

this Section 13(c) (such stockholder or stockholders, and any person on whose behalf they are acting, the “Eligible Stockholder”), (B) the Eligible Stockholder expressly elects in writing at the time of providing the Notice to have

its nominee included in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to this Section 13(c), and (C) the Eligible Stockholder and the Stockholder Nominee otherwise satisfy the requirements of this Section 13(c) and the director

qualification requirements set forth in the corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and any other document(s) setting forth qualifications for directors.

(ii) To be timely, an Eligible Stockholder’s notice must be received in writing by the Secretary at the principal office of the

corporation not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days 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 advanced by more than 20 days, or

delayed by more than 60 days, from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the 120th day prior to such annual

meeting and (B) the seventh day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the adjournment or

postponement of a stockholders’ meeting (or the public disclosure thereof) commence a new time (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice.

(iii) In addition to including the name of the Stockholder Nominee in the corporation’s proxy statement for the annual meeting, the

corporation also shall include (A) the information concerning the Stockholder Nominee and the Eligible Stockholder that is required to be disclosed in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and

(B) if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a Statement (defined below) (collectively, the “Required Information”). Nothing in this Section 13(c) shall limit the corporation’s ability to solicit against and include in its

proxy statement its own statements relating to any Stockholder Nominee.

(iv) The number of Stockholder Nominees (including Stockholder

Nominees that were submitted by an Eligible Stockholder for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to this Section 13(c) but either are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board of Directors decides to nominate (a

“Board Nominee”)) appearing in the corporation’s proxy statement with respect to a meeting of stockholders shall not exceed the greater of (A) two or (B) 20% of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which

notice of a nomination may be delivered pursuant to this Section 13(c) (the “Final Proxy Access Nomination Date”) or, if such amount is not a whole number, the closest whole number below 20% (the “Permitted Number”);

provided, however, that (1) any director in office as of the nomination deadline who was included in the corporation’s proxy statement as a Stockholder Nominee for any of the two preceding annual meetings and whom the Board of Directors

decides to nominate for election to the Board of Directors also will be counted against the Permitted Number and (2) in the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board of Directors at any time after the Final Proxy

Access Nomination Date and before the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, the Permitted Number shall be calculated based on

the number of directors in office as so reduced.

(v) In the event that the number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Eligible

Stockholders pursuant to this Section 13(c) exceeds the Permitted Number, each Eligible Stockholder shall select one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy statement until the Permitted Number is reached, going in

order of the amount (greatest to least) of voting power of the corporation’s capital stock entitled to vote on the election of directors as disclosed in the Notice. If the Permitted Number is not reached after each Eligible Stockholder has

selected one Stockholder Nominee, this selection process shall continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Permitted Number is reached.

(vi) An Eligible Stockholder must have owned (as defined below) continuously for at least three years a number of shares that represents 3% or

more of the total voting power of the corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors (the “Required Shares”) as of both the date the Notice is delivered to or received by the

corporation in

7

accordance with this Section 13(c) and the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and must continue to own the Required Shares through the meeting date. For

purposes of satisfying the ownership requirement under this Section 13(c), the voting power represented by the shares of the corporation’s capital stock owned by one or more stockholders, or by the person or persons who own shares of the

corporation’s capital stock and on whose behalf any stockholder is acting, may be aggregated, provided that (A) the number of stockholders and other persons whose ownership of shares is aggregated for such purpose shall not exceed 20, (B)

each stockholder or other person whose shares are aggregated shall have held such shares continuously for at least three years, and (C) a group of two or more funds that are (1) under common management and investment control,

(2) under common management and funded primarily by the same employer (or by a group of related employers that are under common control), or (3) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in

Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, shall be treated as one stockholder or person for this purpose. Whenever an Eligible Stockholder consists of a group of stockholders and/or other persons, all

requirements and obligations for an Eligible Stockholder set forth in this Section 13(c) must be satisfied by and as to each such stockholder or other person, except that shares may be aggregated to meet the Required Shares as provided in this

Section 13(c). With respect to any one particular annual meeting, no stockholder or other person may be a member of more than one group of persons constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 13(c).

(vii) For purposes of this Section 13(c), an Eligible Stockholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of

the corporation’s capital stock as to which the person possesses both (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on)

such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares (x) sold by such person or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed,

(y) borrowed by such person or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such person or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell, or (z) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale,

other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such person or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the

corporation’s capital stock, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such person’s or

affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such person or affiliate. A person

shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the person retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the

shares. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. For purposes of this Section 13(c), the term “affiliate” shall have the meaning ascribed

thereto in the regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(viii) A person’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue

during any period in which (A) the person has loaned such shares, provided that the person has the power to recall such loaned shares on five business days’ notice and provides a representation that it will promptly recall such loaned

shares upon being notified that any of its Stockholder Nominees will be included in the corporation’s proxy statement, or (B) the person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or

arrangement that is revocable at any time by the person.

(ix) An Eligible Stockholder must provide with its Notice the following

information in writing to the Secretary: (A) one or more written statements from the record holder of the shares (and from each intermediary through which the shares are or have been held during the requisite three-year holding period)

verifying that, as of a date within seven calendar days prior to the date the Notice is delivered to or received by the corporation, the Eligible Stockholder owns, and has owned continuously for the preceding three years, the Required Shares, and

the Eligible Stockholder’s agreement to provide (1) within five business days after the record date for the meeting, written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying the Eligible Stockholder’s continuous

ownership of the Required Shares through the record date and (2) immediate notice if the Eligible Stockholder ceases to own any of the Required Shares prior to the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders; (B) documentation

satisfactory to the corporation demonstrating that a group of funds qualifies to be treated as one stockholder or person for purposes of this Section 13(c); (C) a representation that the Eligible Stockholder (including each member of any group

of stockholders that together is an Eligible Stockholder hereunder): (1) intends to continue to own the Required Shares through the date of the annual meeting, (2) acquired the Required Shares in the ordinary course of business and not with the

intent to change or influence control of the corporation, and does not presently have such intent, (3) will not distribute to any stockholder any form of proxy for the meeting other than the form distributed by the corporation, and (4) has

provided and will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the corporation and its stockholders that are or will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact

necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (D) a statement of the Eligible Stockholder’s intent with regard to continued ownership of the Required Shares for

the year following the date of the annual meeting; (E) the written consent of each Stockholder Nominee to be named in the corporation’s proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected; (F) a copy of the Schedule

14N that has been filed with the SEC as required by Rule 14a-18 under the Exchange

8

Act; (G) the information required to be provided by Section 13(b) of Article I; (H) in the case of a nomination by a group of stockholders that together is an Eligible Stockholder,

the designation by all group members of one group member that is authorized to act on behalf of all members of the nominating stockholder group with respect to the nomination and matters related thereto, including withdrawal of the nomination; and

(I) an undertaking that the Eligible Stockholder agrees to (1) assume all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Eligible Stockholder’s communications with the corporation’s stockholders or

out of the information that the Eligible Stockholder provides to the corporation, (2) indemnify and hold harmless the corporation and each of its directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss or damages in

connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the corporation or any of its directors, officers or employees arising out of any nomination submitted by the Eligible

Stockholder pursuant to this Section 13(c), (3) file with the SEC any solicitation or other communication with the corporation’s stockholders relating to the meeting at which the Stockholder Nominee will be nominated, regardless of

whether any such filing is required under Section 14 of the Exchange Act or whether any exemption from filing is available for such solicitation or other communication under Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and (4) comply with all

other applicable laws, rules, regulations and listing standards with respect to any solicitation in connection with the meeting.

(x) The

Eligible Stockholder may include with its Notice a written statement for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy statement for the meeting, not to exceed 500 words per Stockholder Nominee, in support of each Stockholder Nominee’s candidacy

(the “Statement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article I, the corporation may omit from its proxy statement any information or Statement that it believes would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation

or listing standard.

(xi) Each Stockholder Nominee must (A) provide within five business days of the corporation’s request an

executed agreement, in a form deemed satisfactory to the corporation, that (1) the Stockholder Nominee has read and agrees to adhere to the corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and any other corporation policies and guidelines

applicable to directors, including with regard to securities trading, (2) the Stockholder Nominee is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any

is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification (a “Compensation

Arrangement”) in connection with such person’s nomination for director and/or service as a director that has not been disclosed to the corporation; (B) complete, sign and submit all questionnaires required of the corporation’s

Board of Directors within five business days of receipt of each such questionnaire from the corporation; and (C) provide within five business days of the corporation’s request such additional information as the corporation determines may

be necessary to permit the Board of Directors to determine whether such Stockholder Nominee meets the requirements of this Section 13(c) and/or the corporation’s requirements with regard to director qualifications and policies and

guidelines applicable to directors, including whether (1) such Stockholder Nominee is independent under the listing standards of any U.S. exchange upon which the capital stock of the corporation is listed, any applicable rules of the Securities

and Exchange Commission, and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board of Directors in determining and disclosing the independence of the directors (the “Independence Standards”), (2) such Stockholder Nominee has any direct or

indirect relationship with the corporation, and (3) such Stockholder Nominee is or has been subject to (a) any event specified in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as

(xii) In the event that any information or communications provided by the Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee to the corporation or

its stockholders ceases to be true and correct in any respect or omits a fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, each Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee, as the

case may be, shall promptly notify the Secretary of any such inaccuracy or omission in such previously provided information and of the information that is required to make such information or communication true and correct; it being understood that

providing any such notification shall not be deemed to cure any defect or limit the corporation’s right to omit a Stockholder Nominee from its proxy materials as provided in this Section 13(c).

(xiii) The corporation shall not be required to include, pursuant to this Section 13(c), a Stockholder Nominee in its proxy statement

(or, if the proxy statement has already been filed, to allow the nomination of a Stockholder Nominee, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation) (A) for any meeting for which the Secretary

receives a notice that any stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 13(b) of Article I, (B) who is not independent under the Independence Standards, (C) whose election as a member

of the Board of Directors would violate or cause the corporation to be in violation of these By-Laws, the corporation’s articles of organization, the corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines

or other document setting forth qualifications for directors, the listing standards of any U.S. exchange upon which the corporation’s capital stock is listed, or any applicable state or federal law, rule or regulation,

9

(F) who is or has been, within the past three years, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, (G) whose then-current or prior business or personal interests place such

or their agreements, representations, undertakings and/or obligations pursuant to this Section 13(c).

(xiv) Notwithstanding anything

to the contrary set forth herein, if the Stockholder Nominee and/or the applicable Eligible Stockholder shall have breached its or their agreements, representations, undertakings and/or obligations pursuant to this Section 13(c), as determined

by the Board of Directors or the person presiding at the meeting, (A) the Board of Directors or the person presiding at the meeting shall be entitled to declare a nomination by an Eligible Stockholder to be invalid, and such nomination shall be

14. Notice of Business at Meetings.

(a) At any meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be

close of business on the later of (A) the 75th day prior to such annual meeting and (B) the seventh day following the day on which notice of the date of such annual meeting was given or public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting

The stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

11

(3) a description of any material interest of such stockholder, such beneficial owner,

(including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, swaps, warrants, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by, or on behalf of, such stockholder,

such beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder, such beneficial

owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to shares of stock of the corporation,

(6) any other information relating to

Not later than 10 days after the record date of the meeting, the information

required by Items (A)(3) and (B)(1)- (6) of the prior sentence shall be supplemented by the stockholder giving the notice to provide updated information as of the record date. Notwithstanding anything in these

By-Laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting of stockholders except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 14; provided that nothing in this

Section 14 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or any successor

Rule. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a stockholder shall not have complied with this Section 14 if the stockholder, beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person solicits or does not solicit, as the case may be,

proxies or votes in support of such stockholder’s proposal in contravention of the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 14.

(c) The chair of any meeting of stockholders (and, in advance of any annual meeting, the Board of Directors) shall have the power and duty to

determine whether business was properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14 (including whether the stockholder, beneficial owner and/or any Stockholder Associated Person did or did not solicit, as the

case may be, proxies or votes in support of such stockholder’s proposal in compliance with the representations with respect thereto required by this Section 14), and if the chair (or the Board of Directors) should determine that business

was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14, the chair shall so declare to the meeting and such business shall not be brought before the meeting.

(d) Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Section 14 shall obligate the corporation or the Board of Directors to include

in any proxy statement or other stockholder communication distributed on behalf of the corporation or the Board of Directors information with respect to any proposal submitted by a stockholder.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder)

does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation to present business, such business shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such business may have been received by the corporation. For

purposes of this Section 14, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a

12

written instrument executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person

must produce such written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

(f) For purposes of this Section 14, “public disclosure” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow

Jones New Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor

provision thereto.

(g) Unless the corporation elects otherwise, a stockholder’s notice to the corporation of other business shall

be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the corporation

shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered.

ARTICLE II.

Directors.

1. Powers. The

business of the corporation shall be managed by a Board of Directors who may exercise all the powers of the corporation except as otherwise provided by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these By-Laws.

In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining Directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled.

2. Number and Election. The number of Directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be such number, not less than three

nor more than thirteen, as shall be fixed by vote of the stockholders or the Board of Directors. During the time periods specified in this Section 2, the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes in respect of term of office, each

class to contain, as nearly as possible, one-third of the whole number of the Board. Of the Board of Directors elected at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 1975, the members of one class shall serve until

the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held two years following their election, and the members of the third class shall serve until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held three years following their election; provided, however, that in each case

Directors shall serve until their successors shall be elected and qualified. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, commencing with the Annual Meeting in 1976 through and including the Annual Meeting in 1995, the successors of the Directors of the

class whose terms expire in that year shall be elected to serve until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held three years next following (and until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified), so that the term of one class of Directors

shall expire in each year. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, commencing with the Annual Meeting in 1996, the successors of the Directors whose terms expire in that year shall be elected to serve until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in

the following year (and until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified), so that, upon the expiration in 1998 of the terms of the Directors elected at the Annual Meeting in 1995, all Directors shall be elected to hold office for a one-year term (and until their successors shall be duly elected and qualified).

3. Vacancies. A vacancy

in the Board of Directors, however occurring, unless and until filled by the stockholders, may be filled by the Directors.

4. Change in

Number of the Board of Directors. The number of the Board of Directors may be increased or decreased and one or more additional Directors elected at any special meeting of the stockholders or by a vote of a majority of the Directors then in office.

For so long as the Directors are divided into classes in accordance with the terms of Section 2 of this Article II, Directors who are elected to fill vacancies, whether or not created by an enlargement of the Board of Directors, shall be

apportioned among the classes so as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Directors who are elected to fill vacancies, whether or not created by an enlargement of the Board of Directors, shall serve until the expiration of the

term of his or her predecessor and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Directors.

5. Resignation and Retirement. Any Director may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the corporation at its principal office

or to the Chair of the Board, the President or the Secretary. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some event. Except in special circumstances

specifically approved by the Board of Directors, a Director shall be deemed to have retired at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the date the Director shall have attained the age of seventy-five.

6. Removal. A Director may be removed from office (a) with or without cause by the affirmative a vote of a majority of

the stock outstanding and entitled to vote in the election of Directors, provided that the Directors of a class elected by a particular class of stockholders may be removed only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of such class which

are outstanding and entitled to vote or (b) for cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office. A Director may be removed for cause only after reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard before the body proposing

to remove them.

13

7. Meetings. Regular meetings of the Directors may be held without call or notice at such

places, within or without Massachusetts, and at such times as the Directors may from time to time determine, provided that any Director who is absent when such determination is made shall be given notice of the determination. A regular meeting of

the Directors may be held without a call or notice at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders, or the special meeting held in lieu thereof, following such meeting of stockholders.

Special meetings of the Directors may be held at any time and place, within or without Massachusetts, designated in a call by the Chair of the

Board, the President, Treasurer or two or more Directors.

The Board of Directors may permit any or all Directors to participate in a

regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all Directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A Director participating in a meeting by this means is

considered to be present in person at the meeting.

8. Notice of Special Meetings. Notice of a special meeting of the Directors shall be

given to each Director at least 24 hours before the meeting by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, or in case of the death, absence, incapacity or refusal of such persons, by the officer or one of the Directors calling the meeting. All notices

to Directors shall conform to the requirements of Section 12 of Article V of these By-Laws. A Director may waive any notice before or after the date and time of the meeting. The waiver shall be in

writing, signed by the Director entitled to the notice, or in the form of an electronic transmission by the Director to the corporation, and filed with the minutes or corporate records. A Director’s attendance at or participation in a meeting

waives any required notice to the Director of the meeting unless the Director at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon the Director’s arrival, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not

thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.

9. Quorum. At any meeting of the Directors, a majority of the Directors

then in office shall constitute a quorum. Less than a quorum may adjourn any meeting from time to time without further notice.

10. Action

at Meeting. At any meeting of the Directors at which a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of those present, unless a different vote is specified by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these

By-Laws, shall be sufficient to take any action.

11. Action by Consent. Any action required or

permitted to be taken by the Directors may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by the unanimous consent of the members of the Board of Directors. The action must be evidenced by one or more consents describing the action taken, in

writing, signed by each Director, or delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission, to the address specified by the corporation for the purpose or, if no address has been specified, to the principal office of the corporation, addressed to

the Secretary or other officer or agent having custody of the records of proceedings of Directors, and included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records reflecting the action taken. Action taken under this Section 11 is effective when

the last Director signs or delivers the consent unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A consent signed or delivered under this Section 11 has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.

12. Committees. The Directors may, by vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, elect from their number an executive committee or

other committees and may by like vote delegate thereto some or all of their powers except those which by law, the Articles of Organization or these By-Laws they are prohibited from delegating. Except as the

Directors may otherwise determine, any such committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the Directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as may be in the same manner as is

provided by these By- Laws for the Directors.

ARTICLE III.

Officers.

1. Enumeration. The

officers of the corporation shall consist of a Chair of the Board, President, one or more Senior Vice Presidents, Vice Presidents, a Treasurer, a Secretary and such other officers as the Directors may determine. Such other officers may include,

without limiting the foregoing, a Controller and one or more Assistant Vice Presidents, Assistant Controllers, Assistant Treasurers and Assistant Secretaries.

Vice Presidents, Assistant Vice Presidents, Assistant Treasurers, Assistant Controllers and Assistant Secretaries.

give bond for the faithful performance of such officer’s duties to the corporation in such amount and with such sureties as the Directors may determine.

4. Tenure. Except as otherwise provided by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these By-Laws,

the Chair of the Board, President, Treasurer and Secretary shall hold office until the first meeting of the Directors following the annual meeting of stockholders and thereafter until such person’s successor is chosen and qualified or until

such person’s earlier death, resignation or removal; and all other officers appointed by the Directors or by the Chief Executive Officer shall hold office until the first meeting of the Directors following the annual meeting of stockholders,

unless a different term is specified in choosing or appointing them or until such person’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Any officer may resign by delivering a written resignation to the corporation at its principal office or to the

Chair of the Board, President, or Secretary, and such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event.

Directors shall appoint, as the Chief Executive Officer of the corporation, the President, the Chair of the Board, or any other officer of the corporation as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate. The Chief Executive Officer shall have the

ultimate supervision and control of the operations of the business. In the absence of the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer shall preside, when present, at all meetings of the Directors and stockholders.

9. Senior Vice President, Vice President and Assistant Vice President. Unless otherwise specified by the Board of Directors, the Senior Vice

President, or if there shall be more than one, the Senior Vice Presidents in the order determined by the Directors, and subsequently, the Vice President or Vice Presidents, shall, in the absence or disability of the President, perform the duties and

exercise the powers of the President and shall perform such other duties and shall have such other powers as the Directors or the Chief Executive Officer may from time to time prescribe.

An Assistant Vice President shall have such duties and powers as the Directors or the Chief Executive Officer may from time to time prescribe.

10. Financial Officers. In addition to the election of a Treasurer, the Directors may appoint one or more additional financial officers.

The Directors may designate one of the officers as the Chief Financial Officer who, subject to the direction of the Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, shall have overall supervision and control of the internal and external financial affairs

of the corporation including financial reporting, and the management of the assets of the corporation as well as such other powers and duties as may be vested in the Chief Financial Officer by the Directors or the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief

Financial Officer shall have responsibility, custody and control of all funds, securities and valuable documents of the corporation except as the Directors may otherwise provide.

The Treasurer shall, subject to the direction of the Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, if there be one,

have general charge of managing the assets of the corporation. He shall perform such other duties as may be vested in the Treasurer by the Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Chief Financial Officer. In the event the Directors have not

designated a Chief Financial Officer, or, if one is designated, in the absence or disability of the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer shall have custody of all funds, securities and valuable documents of the corporation except as the Directors

may otherwise provide.

15

The Assistant Treasurer, or if there shall be more than one, the Assistant Treasurers in the

order determined by the Directors, shall in the absence or disability of the Treasurer, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the Treasurer and shall perform such other duties and shall have such other powers as the Directors may from time

to time prescribe.

The Assistant Controller, or if there shall be more than one, the Assistant Controllers in the order determined by the

ARTICLE IV.

Capital Stock.

1. Certificates

of Stock. If shares are represented by certificates, at a minimum each share certificate shall state on its face: (a) the name of the corporation and that it is organized under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts; (b) the name of

the person to whom issued; and (c) the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, the certificate represents. The certificate shall be signed either manually or in facsimile by the Chair of the Board of Directors, the

President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, and when a certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or a registrar, other than a Director, officer of employee of the corporation, such signatures may be

facsimiles. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he

were such officer at the time of its issue.

Every certificate representing shares of stock which are subject to any restriction on

transfer pursuant to the Articles of Organization, the By-Laws or any agreement to which the corporation is a party, shall have conspicuously noted on the face or back of the certificate either the full text

of the restriction or a statement of the existence of such restrictions and a statement that the corporation will furnish a copy thereof to the holder of such certificate upon written request and without charge. Every certificate issued when the

corporation is authorized to issue more than one class or series of stock shall set forth on its face or back either the full text of the preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special and relative rights of the shares of each class and

series authorized to be issued or a statement of the existence of such preferences, powers, qualifications and rights and a statement that the corporation will furnish a copy thereof to the holder of such certificate upon written request and without

charge.

The Directors may authorize the issue of some or all of the shares of any or all of the corporation’s classes or series

without certificates. The authorization shall not affect shares already represented by certificates until they are surrendered to the corporation. Within a reasonable time after the issue or transfer of shares without certificates, the corporation

shall send the stockholder a written statement of the information required by the law to be on certificates.

2. Transfers. Subject to the

restrictions, if any, stated or noted on the stock certificates, shares of stock may be transferred on the books of the corporation by the surrender to the corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate therefor properly endorsed or

accompanied by a written assignment and power of attorney properly executed, with necessary transfer stamps affixed, and with such proof of the authenticity of signature as the corporation or its transfer agent may reasonably require. Except as may

be otherwise required by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these By-Laws, the corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all

purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect thereto, regardless of any transfer pledge or other disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the books of the corporation in accordance with

the requirements of these By- Laws.

It shall be the duty of each stockholder to notify the

corporation of their post office address and taxpayer identification number.

16

3. Record Date. The Directors may fix in advance a time not more than sixty days preceding

the date of any meeting of stockholders or the date for the payment of any dividend or the making of any distribution to stockholders or 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, or the right to receive such dividend or distribution or the right to give such consent or dissent. In 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. A determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a

stockholders’ meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it shall do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original

meeting.

4. Replacement of Certificates. In case of the alleged loss or destruction or the mutilation of a certificate of stock, a

duplicate certificate may be issued in place thereof, upon such terms as the Directors may prescribe, including the presentation of reasonable evidence of such loss, destruction or mutilation and the giving of such indemnity as the Directors may

require for the protection of the corporation or any transfer agent or registrar.

5. Issue of Capital Stock. Unless otherwise voted by

the stockholders, the whole or any part of any unissued balance of the authorized capital stock of the corporation or the whole or any part of the capital stock of the corporation held in its treasury may be issued or disposed of by vote of the

Directors, in such manner, for such consideration and on such terms as the Directors may determine.

ARTICLE V.

Miscellaneous Provisions.

1.

Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the corporation shall end on the 31st day of December in each year in which such date falls on Sunday, or the Sunday next preceding or following the 31st day of December in each year, which ever Sunday is nearest to

such 31st day of December.

2. Seal. The seal of the corporation shall, subject to alteration by the Directors, bear its name, the word

“Massachusetts”, and the year of its incorporation.

3. Execution of Instruments. All deeds, leases, transfers, contracts,

bonds, notes and other obligations authorized to be executed by an officer of the corporation in its behalf shall be signed by the Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer or the Treasurer except as the Directors may generally or in particular

cases otherwise determine.

4. Voting of Securities. Except as the Directors may otherwise designate, the Chair of the Board, the

President the chief financial officer, Treasurer or Secretary may waive notice of, and act as, or appoint any person or persons to act as, proxy or attorney-in-fact for,

this corporation (with or without power of substitution) at any meeting of stockholders or shareholders of any other corporation or organization, the securities of which may be held by this corporation.

5. Corporate Records. The original, or attested copies, of the Articles of Organization, By-Laws and

records of all meetings of the incorporators and stockholders, and the stock and transfer records, which shall contain the names of all stockholders and the record address and the amount of stock held by each, shall be kept in Massachusetts at the

principal office of the corporation, or at an office of its transfer agent or of the Secretary. Said copies and records need not all be 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 the purpose of selling said list or copies thereof or of using the same for a purpose other than in the interest of the applicant, as a stockholder, relative to the affairs of the

corporation.

6. Evidence of Authority. A certificate by the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary, or a temporary Secretary, as to any

action taken by the stockholders, Directors, Executive Committee or any officer or representative of the corporation shall as to all persons who rely thereon in good faith be conclusive evidence of such action.

7. Articles of Organization. All references in these By-Laws to the Articles of Organization shall be

deemed to refer to the Articles of Organization of the corporation, as amended and in effect from time to time.

8. Transactions with

Interested Parties. In the absence of fraud, no contract or other transaction between this corporation and any other corporation or any firm, association, partnership or person shall be affected or invalidated by the fact that any Director or

officer of this corporation is pecuniarily or otherwise interested in or is a director, member or officer of such other corporation or of such firm, association or partnership or is a party to or is pecuniarily or otherwise interested in such

contract or other transaction or is in any way connected with any person or persons, firm, association, partnership or corporation pecuniarily or otherwise interested therein; provided that the fact that he individually or as a director, member or

officer of such corporation,

17

firm, association or partnership is such a party or is so interested shall be disclosed to or shall have been known by the Board of Directors or a majority of the Board of Directors at which

action upon any such contract or transaction shall be taken; any Director may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum and may vote at any meeting of the Board of Directors of this corporation for the purpose of authorizing any such

contract or transaction with like force and effect as if he were not so interested, or were not a director, member or officer of such other corporation, firm, association or partnership, provided that any vote with respect to such contract or

transaction must be adopted by a majority of the Directors then in office who have no interest in such contract or transaction.

9.

Indemnification.

(a) Actions, Suits and Proceedings. The corporation shall 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 such person 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 and fines

incurred by the Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, unless the Indemnitee shall be finally adjudicated in such action, suit or proceeding not to have acted in

good faith in the reasonable belief that the Indemnitee’s 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, except as set forth in Section 6 below, the corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee seeking indemnification in connection with a

proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the corporation shall not indemnify an

Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the corporation makes any indemnification payments to an Indemnitee and the 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.

(b)

Settlements. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall include the right to be paid by the corporation for amounts paid in settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, and all expenses (including

attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such settlement, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, unless and to the extent it is determined pursuant to Section 5 below that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith in the reasonable

belief that the Indemnitee’s 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.

(c) Notification and Defense of Claim. As a condition precedent to the Indemnitee’s right to be

indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving the Indemnitee 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. After notice from the corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection

with such claim, other than as provided below in this Section 3. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ the Indemnitee’s own counsel in connection with such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice

from the corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Indemnitee has been authorized by the corporation, (ii) counsel to the Indemnitee shall

have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the corporation and the Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action or (iii) the corporation shall not in fact have

employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Article. The corporation

shall not be entitled, without the consent of the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the corporation or as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause

(ii) above.

(d) Advance of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section 5 below, in the event that the corporation does not assume

the defense pursuant to Section 3 of this Article of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the corporation receives notice under this Article, any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in

defending a civil or criminal action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter; 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. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make such repayment.

18

(e) Procedure for Indemnification. In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of

expenses pursuant to Section 1, 2 or 4 of this Article, the Indemnitee shall submit to the corporation a written request, including in such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and is

reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses. Any such indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days after

receipt by the corporation of the written request of the Indemnitee, unless the corporation determines within such 60-day period that the Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in

Section 1 or 2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made in each instance 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.

(f) Remedies. The right to

indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction if the corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within the 60-day period referred to above in Section 5. Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article shall

be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of

conduct, nor an actual determination by the corporation pursuant to Section 5 that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the

applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with successfully establishing the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding

shall also be indemnified by the corporation.

(g) Subsequent Amendment. No amendment, termination or repeal of this Article or of the

relevant provisions of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit,

proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal.

(h) Other Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights

to which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity

and as to action in any other capacity while holding office for the corporation, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of

the Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to prohibit, and the corporation is specifically authorized to enter into, agreements with officers and directors providing indemnification rights and procedures different from those

set forth in this Article. In addition, 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.

(i) Partial Indemnification. If an

Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Article to indemnification by the corporation for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred

by the Indemnitee or on the Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the

Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

(j) Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or

agent of the corporation or another organization or employee benefit plan against any expense, liability or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would

have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws.

(k)

Merger or Consolidation. If the corporation is merged into or consolidated with another corporation and the corporation is not the surviving corporation, the surviving corporation shall assume the obligations of the corporation under this Article

with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the date of such merger or consolidation.

19

(l) Savings Clause. If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground

by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit,

proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to

the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(m) Subsequent Legislation. If the Massachusetts General Laws are amended after adoption

of this Article to expand further the indemnification permitted to Indemnitees, then the corporation shall indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by the Massachusetts General Laws, as so amended.

10. Amendments. The stockholders may by the affirmative vote of a majority of the stock of the corporation, outstanding and entitled to vote,

make, amend or repeal the By-Laws of the corporation in whole or in part at any meeting of the stockholders provided that notice of the substance of the proposed action is stated in the notice of meeting. The

Directors may make, amend or repeal the By-Laws of the corporation in whole or in part at any meeting of the Directors by vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, except that the provisions thereof

fixing the place of the meetings of stockholders, fixing the date of the annual meeting of stockholders, designating the number necessary to constitute a quorum at meetings of the stockholders, governing procedure with respect to the removal of

Directors, affording indemnification to Directors or officers and governing amendment of these By-Laws, may be made, amended, or repealed only by the stockholders. No change in the date of the annual meeting

may be made within sixty days before the date fixed in these By-Laws, and in case of any change of such date, notice thereof shall be given to each stockholder in person or by letter mailed to their last known

post office address at least twenty days before the new date fixed for such meeting.

11. 1987 Massachusetts Control Share Acquisition

Act. The 1987 Massachusetts Control Share Acquisition Act, Chapter 110D of the Massachusetts General Laws, as it may be amended from time to time, shall not apply to the corporation.

12. Manner of Notice. All notices provided for under these By-Laws shall conform to the following

requirements:

(a) Notice shall be in writing unless oral notice is reasonable under the circumstances. Notice by electronic transmission

is written notice.

(b) Notice may be communicated in person; by telephone, voice mail, telegraph, teletype or other electronic means; by

mail; by electronic transmission; or by messenger or delivery service. If these forms of personal notice are impracticable, notice may be communicated by a newspaper of general circulation in the area where published; or by radio, television or

other form of public broadcast communication.

(c) Written notice, other than notice by electronic transmission, by the Corporation to any

of its stockholders, if in a comprehensible form, is effective upon deposit in the United States mail, if mailed postpaid and correctly addressed to the addressee’s address shown in the Corporation’s current records.

(d) Written notice by electronic transmission, if in comprehensible form, is effective:

(1) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number furnished by the addressee for the purpose;

(2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address furnished by the addressee for the purpose;

(3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the addressee of such specific posting, directed to an

electronic mail address furnished by the addressee for the purpose, upon the later of (i) such posting and (ii) the giving of such separate notice; and

(4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the addressee in such manner as the addressee shall have specified to

the corporation. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation, the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be

prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(e) Except as provided in Section 12(c) of this Article V, written notice, other

than notice by electronic transmission, if in a comprehensible form, is effective at the earliest of the following:

(1) when received;

(2) five days after its deposit in the United States mail, if mailed postpaid and correctly addressed;

20

(3) on the date shown on the return receipt, if sent by registered or certified mail, return

receipt requested; or if sent by messenger or delivery service, on the date shown on the return receipt signed by or on behalf of the addressee; or

(4) on the date of publication if notice by publication is permitted.

(f) Oral notice is effective when communicated if communicated in a comprehensible manner.
