     This  Amendment  No. 2 to the Schedule 13D of Charlotte  Maclellan  Heffner
("Mrs.  Heffner") is being filed as a result of certain  agreements to which she
is a party in connection  with the  acquisition  of The Paul Revere  Corporation
("Revere") by Provident  Companies,  Inc. (the "Issuer")  pursuant to an Amended
and Restated  Agreement  and Plan of Merger  dated as of April 29, 1996,  by and
among the  Issuer,  Patriot  Acquisition  Corporation  and Revere  (the  "Merger
Agreement").  Capitalized  terms used but not defined herein shall have the same
meanings as in this Schedule 13D filing prior to this Amendment No. 2.


Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

     ITEM 4 OF THIS  STATEMENT  IS HEREBY  AMENDED  AND  RESTATED TO READ IN ITS
ENTIRETY AS FOLLOWS:  

     On March 27, 1997, the Issuer  completed its acquisition of Revere pursuant
to the Merger Agreement (the  "Acquisition").  Also on that date, pursuant to an
Amended and Restated  Common Stock Purchase  Agreement  dated as of May 31, 1996
(the  "Zurich  Agreement"),  between  the Issuer and  Zurich  Insurance  Company
("Zurich"),  Zurich  purchased  9,523,810  shares of Common  Stock (the  "Zurich
Shares") for an aggregate cash price of $300 million.  The net proceeds from the
Zurich  Agreement were used by the Issuer to fund a portion of the cash payments
being made to Revere  stockholders  in  connection  with the  Acquisition.  Mrs.
Heffner is a party to the  following  five  agreements  which are related to the
Merger Agreement and the Zurich Agreement:



                                      - 3 -

<PAGE>



1.   Voting Agreement

     To implement the Acquisition, it was necessary for the Issuer to obtain the
approval of its stockholders for (i) an amendment to the Issuer's certificate of
incorporation to in crease its authorized capital (the "Charter  Amendment") and
(ii) the  issuance  of Common  Stock  pursuant  to the  Merger  Agreement.  Such
approval was  obtained at a Special  Meeting of the  Stockholders  of the Issuer
held on  December  31, 1996 (the  "Special  Meeting").  At the Special  Meeting,
pursuant to an Amended and Restated Voting Agreement dated as of April 29, 1996,
among Textron Inc., the principal stockholder of Revere ("Textron"),  Revere and
certain   stockholders  of  the  Issuer  including  Mrs.  Heffner  (the  "Voting
Agreement"),  Mrs.  Heffner voted  457,602  shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
which she owned of record and beneficially in favor of the Charter Amendment and
the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

     The Voting  Agreement  was also  signed,  in each case with Mrs.  Heffner's
consent as a co-trustee,  by The Maclellan  Foundation,  Inc. (the "Foundation")
(see  paragraph  (2) of Item  5(a) and (b)  below)  and two  trusts  -- the R.J.
Maclellan Trust for the Hugh O. Maclellan,  Sr. Family and the Cora L. Maclellan
Trust  for the Hugh O.  Maclellan,  Sr.  Family  (collectively,  the  "Maclellan
Trusts") (see paragraph (3) of Item 5(a) and (b) below). At the Special Meeting,
pursuant to the Voting Agreement,  the Foundation and the Maclellan Trusts voted
the shares of Common  Stock  which they  owned of record  and  beneficially  (an
aggregate of 9,368,609



                                      - 4 -

<PAGE>



shares) in favor of the  Charter  Amendment  and the  issuance  of Common  Stock
pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

2.   Maclellan Family Stockholder Agreement

     Zurich  entered  into an  Agreement  dated as of May 31, 1996 (the  "Family
Stockholder  Agreement")  with the  Foundation,  trusts  for the  benefit of the
Foundation,  certain members of the Maclellan family including Mrs. Heffner, and
certain trusts connected with the Maclellan family (collectively, the "Maclellan
Stockholders").  Pursuant to the Family  Stockholder  Agreement,  certain of the
Maclellan  Stockholders,  including Mrs. Heffner, voted all the shares of Common
Stock  beneficially  owned by them (an  aggregate  of  approximately  18,350,000
shares)  at the  Special  Meeting  in  favor  of the  Merger  Agreement  and the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the Charter Amendment, and in favor
of the transactions contemplated by the Zurich Agreements.

     Also  in  the  Family   Stockholder   Agreement,   each  of  the  Maclellan
Stockholders  agreed that,  until the earlier of (i) such time as Zurich and its
affiliates  beneficially own less than 5% of the Issuer's voting  securities (as
defined),  and (ii) March 27, 2004, such Maclellan  Stockholder  will,  prior to
making any sale or transfer of shares of Common Stock, give Zurich notice of any
intention to sell or transfer and the terms of such  intended  sale or transfer.
Zurich will then have the right to purchase such shares at the same terms.  This
right of first offer is not applicable to the transfer of shares (x) pursuant to
a change of control (as defined in the Family Stockholder Agreement), (y)



                                      - 5 -

<PAGE>

pursuant to certain  permitted  transfers,  including  transfers among Maclellan
Stockholders,  and (z) in connection with any sale of at least 70% of the shares
then  held  by  the  Maclellan   Stockholders  pursuant  to  a  firm  commitment
underwritten registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

     Notwithstanding  its rights of first  offer  under the  Family  Stockholder
Agreement,  Zurich has undertaken to the Issuer that in general, until March 27,
2004,  Zurich and its  affiliates  will not acquire  "Voting  Securities" of the
Issuer  (defined  as all classes of capital  stock of the Issuer  which are then
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors)* in amounts which would
cause the  percentage  of Zurich's  voting power in the election of the Issuer's
directors  ("Voting Power") to exceed the percentage of Voting Power represented
by the Zurich Shares  immediately  following the  consummation of the Merger and
the issuance of the Zurich Shares (the "Initial  Threshold  Percent age").  Mrs.
Heffner has been advised by the Issuer that the Initial Threshold  Percentage is
approximately 14.24%. However, Zurich and its affiliates are not prohibited from
acquiring Voting Securities that would cause Zurich and its affiliates to exceed
the Initial Threshold Percentage if (i) such Voting Securities are acquired from
the  Maclellan   Stockholders   or  are  acquired  from  Textron  (with  certain
restrictions and limitations)


- --------
     *Currently, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are the only outstanding
Voting Securities of the Issuer.



                                      - 6 -

<PAGE>


or are acquired from other persons under certain limited circumstances, and (ii)
after giving effect to such  acquisition  of Voting  Securities,  Zurich and its
affiliates  would  not   beneficially  own  Voting   Securities  of  the  Issuer
representing more than 40% of the outstanding Voting Power.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing,  Zurich may acquire Voting Securities from the Maclellan Stockholders
in amounts that exceed the 40% limitation if Zurich first offers to purchase all
of the outstanding Voting Securities of the Issuer at the same price pursuant to
either a tender offer to all stockholders or a binding merger agreement.

3.   Family Stockholder Supplementary Agreement

     In an effort to coordinate sales of shares of Common Stock by the Maclellan
Stockholders,  the Maclellan Stockholders have entered into a Family Stockholder
Supplementary   Agreement  dated  as  of  April  21,  1997  (the  "Supplementary
Agreement").  Under the Supplementary  Agreement,  which will terminate upon the
termination of the Family Stockholder  Agreement,  in the event that a Maclellan
Stockholder  receives  an  unsolicited  purchase  offer from Zurich or any other
person that such Maclellan Stock holder intends to accept,  and such offer is to
acquire more than  $250,000 of Common Stock,  such  Maclellan  Stockholder  (the
"Notifying  Stockholder")  shall use reasonable  efforts to promptly  notify all
other Maclellan  Stockholders  of such purchase offer,  specifying the number of
shares of Common Stock that the purchaser has offered to purchase and the amount
of  consideration  offered per share,  and shall use its  reasonable  efforts to
permit



                                      - 7 -

<PAGE>


the other Maclellan  Stockholders to participate with the Notifying Stockholder
in a sale of  Common  Stock to the  purchaser.  If one or more  other  Maclellan
Stockholders  decide to participate in such a sale, and the aggregate  number of
shares that all Maclellan  Stockholders  desire to sell exceeds the  purchaser's
offer,  the  number of shares of Common  Stock to be sold by each  participating
Maclellan  Stockholder will be in the same proportion that the number of shares
offered for sale by each such Maclellan Stockholder bears to the total number of
shares  offered for sale by all  Maclellan  Stockholders,  so that the resultant
aggregate  number  of  shares  to be  offered  for  sale  shall  be equal to the
purchaser's offer.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing,  any Maclellan  Stockholder may initiate and
consummate a sale of Common Stock to any person.

4.   Registration Rights Agreement

     As an  inducement to the  Maclellan  Stockholders  to enter into the Family
Stockholder  Agreement,  the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
dated  as of May  31,  1996  (the  "Registration  Rights  Agreement")  with  the
Maclellan  Stockholders,  pursuant to which,  subject to certain  conditions and
limitations,  the Issuer agreed to register under the Securities Act of 1933 the
sale  of the  shares  of  Common  Stock  now or  hereafter  held  by one or more
Maclellan  Stockholders.  In  general,  the Issuer  has  granted  the  Maclellan
Stockholders "demand" registration rights to request eight



                                      - 8 -

<PAGE>



separate  registrations,  each of which must  cover (A)  shares of Common  Stock
having an aggregate expected offering price of at least $10,000,000,  or (B) all
the shares of Common Stock then held by the Maclellan  Stockholders.  "Blackout"
periods which have the effect of delaying a demand registration  (either because
it would  adversely  affect a  pending  public  offering  of  securities  by the
Company, or because the filing of a demand registration  statement would require
disclosure  of material  information  which the Issuer has a bona fide  business
purpose for preserving as confidential)  are provided for limited  periods.  The
Registration  Agreement  also  grants  the  Maclellan  Stockholders  "piggyback"
registration  rights to have any or all of their shares of Common Stock included
in any  registration  statement  filed by the  Issuer  for a public  sale of its
Voting Equity Securities (as defined),  subject to limitations determined by the
managing  underwriter  of an  underwritten  offering  to be  necessary  for  the
successful marketing of the securities being distributed by underwriters.

5.   Lock-Up Agreement

     Pursuant to the Merger  Agreement,  the 37,500,000  shares of Revere common
stock owned by Textron were converted at the effective  time of the  Acquisition
into $750 million in cash and  5,917,500  shares of Common  Stock (the  "Textron
Shares").  Textron agreed to use its reasonable efforts to sell for cash all the
Textron Shares as soon as practicable after the Acquisition,  subject to certain
conditions. Textron sold the Textron Shares



                                      - 9 -

<PAGE>



on May 6, 1997, pursuant to a firm commitment  underwritten public offering (the
"Textron Offering").

     In furtherance of the Textron Offering,  each Maclellan Stockholder holding
more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock,  including  Mrs.  Heffner,  has entered
into an agreement (the "Lock-Up  Agreement"),  which provides that,  without the
prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co.  Incorporated  ("Morgan Stanley"),
on  behalf  of  the  underwriters  of  the  Textron  Offering,   such  Maclellan
Stockholders  will not,  prior to August  4,  1997,  (i)  offer,  pledge,  sell,
contract to sell,  sell any option or contract to purchase,  purchase any option
or  contract  to sell,  grant any  option,  right or  warrant  to  purchase,  or
otherwise  transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly,  any shares of Common
Stock or any securities  convertible  into or exercisable  or  exchangeable  for
Common Stock  (provided  that such shares or  securities  were  acquired by them
prior to or in  connection  with the Textron  Offering),  or (ii) enter into any
swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of
the economic  consequences of ownership of such shares of Common Stock. However,
a Maclellan  Stockholder may dispose of any shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible  into or exercisable or exchangeable  for shares of Common Stock (A)
pursuant to a bona fide gift  between or among  family  members or the estate of
such  stockholder  (including  any transfer by such  stockholder to or among any
trust,  foundation,  custodial or other similar  accounts or funds in which such
stockholder or other



                                     - 10 -

<PAGE>



member of his or her  family  serves as  trustee  or  custodian  or in a similar
fiduciary  capacity,  or to a trust created by any such stockholder  which has a
member of his or her immediate  family as a beneficiary) and (B) pursuant to any
transfer to any  organization,  which transfer  qualifies for the federal income
tax charitable deduction at the time of such transfer; provided that in the case
of (A) or (B) above,  the  transferee  is then bound by or agrees to be bound by
the  restrictions  described in this  paragraph  from the date of such  transfer
until  August 4, 1997.  In addition,  the  Maclellan  Stockholders  agreed that,
without  the prior  written  consent  of Morgan  Stanley on behalf of the under-
writers,  such  stockholders  will not, prior to August 4, 1997, make any demand
for or exercise  any right with  respect to, the  registration  of any shares of
Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock.

                                     * * *

     Apart from the foregoing,  Mrs. Heffner  currently has no plan or proposal,
as a  stockholder  of the Issuer,  which  relates to or would result in: 

          (a) the  acquisition  by any person of  additional  securities  of the
     Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

          (b)  an  extraordinary  corporate  transaction,   such  as  a  merger,
     reorganization,  or  liquidation,  involving  the  Issuer  or  any  of  its
     subsidiaries;



                                     - 11 -

<PAGE>



          (c) a sale or  transfer  of a  material  amount  of the  assets of the
     Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

          (d) any change in the present  board of directors or management of the
     Issuer,  including  any plan or  proposal  to change  the number or term of
     directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

          (e) any  material  change in the  present  capitalization  or dividend
     policy of the Issuer;

          (f) any other  material  change in the Issuer's  business or corporate
     structure;

          (g) changes in the Issuer's  charter or by-laws or other actions which
     may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

          (h) a class of securities of the Issuer being delisted from a national
     securities  exchange  or  ceasing  to  be  authorized  to be  quoted  in an
     inter-dealer   quotation  system  of  a  registered   national   securities
     association;

          (i) a class of equity  securities of the Issuer becoming  eligible for
     termination of registration  pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); or

          (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

However, such plans or proposals may have been considered,  and may from time to
time hereafter be considered,  by Mrs.  Heffner in her capacity as a director of
the Issuer.

                   FAMILY STOCKHOLDER SUPPLEMENTARY AGREEMENT


     FAMILY  STOCKHOLDER  SUPPLEMENTARY  AGREEMENT,  dated as of April 21, 1997,
among  the   stockholders   listed  on  the  signature   pages  hereof  (each  a
"Stockholder" and collectively the "Stockholders").

     WHEREAS, each Stockholder is the owner of shares of common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, of Provident Companies, Inc. ("Company Common Stock");

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  and the  respective
agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. Unsolicited Purchase Offer. Each Stockholder (a "Notifying Stockholder")
agrees that, in the event that it receives an  unsolicited  purchase  offer from
Zurich  Insurance  Company or any other purchaser that it intends to accept,  in
either case seeking to acquire more than $250,000 of Company  Common  Stock,  it
shall use  reasonable  efforts to  promptly  notify all other  Stockholders,  by
telephone  or other  oral or  written  communication,  specifying  the number of
shares of Company  Common Stock that the  purchaser  has offered to purchase and
the amount of  consideration  offered  per share,  and shall use its  reasonable
efforts to permit  the other  Stockholders  to  participate  with the  Notifying
Stockholder  in a sale of Company  Common Stock to the  purchaser.  In the event
that one or more other Stockholders  decides to participate in such a sale (each
such  Stockholder  and the Notifying  Stockholder  individually  an  "Interested
Seller" and collectively  the "Interested  Sellers") and the aggregate number of
shares of Company Common Stock that all such  Interested  Sellers desire to sell
exceeds the purchaser's  offer,  the number of shares of Company Common Stock to
be sold by each Interested Seller will be in the same proportion that the number
of shares offered for sale by each  Interested  Seller bears to the total number
of shares  offered for sale by all  Interested  Sellers,  so that the  resultant
aggregate  number  of  shares  to be  offered  for  sale  shall  be equal to the
purchaser's offer.


     2. Initiating a Sale. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 of this
Agreement,  any Stockholder may initiate and consummate a sale of Company Common
Stock to any person.

     3. Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the
Family Stockholder Agreement.




<PAGE>



     4. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement  constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding  among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior  agreements and
understandings, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

     (b) Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified, and any
of the terms,  covenants or conditions  hereof may be waived,  only by a written
instrument  executed by the parties hereto,  or in the case of a waiver,  by the
party waiving  compliance.  Any waiver by any party of any condition,  or of the
breach of any provision,  term or covenant  contained in this Agreement,  in any
one or more instances,  shall not be deemed to be nor construed as furthering or
continuing  waiver  of any  such  condition,  or of  the  breach  of  any  other
provision, term or covenant of this Agreement.

     (c)  Governing  Law. This  Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in
accordance  with the laws of the State of  Tennessee,  without  giving effect to
conflicts of laws principles thereof.

     (d) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,  each of
which shall be deemed an original,  but all of which together  shall  constitute
one instrument.

                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT



     REGISTRATION  RIGHTS  AGREEMENT  dated  as of May 31,  1996,  by and  among
Provident  Companies,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  and the
stockholders of the Company identified on Schedule I hereto (each a "Holder" and
collectively the "Holders").

     The Holders are the holders of an  aggregate  of  approximately  53% of the
outstanding  voting  common  stock,  par value  $1.00 per share,  of the Company
("Company  Common  Stock").  The Company has previously  granted to Textron Inc.
("Textron")  certain  registration  rights under a registration rights agreement
dated as of April 29, 1996 (the "Textron  Registration  Rights  Agreement") with
respect  to  shares  of  Company  Common  Stock to be  received  by  Textron  in
connection with the merger (the "Merger") of Patriot Acquisition Corporation,  a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Newco"),  with and into The Paul Revere
Corporation ("Paul Revere") pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 29, 1996, by and among the Company,  Newco
and Paul Revere (the "Merger Agreement").  Contemporaneous with the execution of
this Agreement,  the Company is granting to Zurich Insurance Company  ("Zurich")
certain  registration rights under a Registration Rights Agreement,  dated as of
the date hereof (the "Zurich  Registration Rights  Agreement"),  with respect to
shares of Company Common Stock to be issued to Zurich pursuant to a Common Stock
Purchase Agreement,  dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and
Zurich (the "Zurich  Purchase  Agreement").  As an  inducement to the Holders to
enter into the Family Stockholder Agreement  contemplated by the Zurich Purchase
Agreement,   which  is  a  condition  for   consummation  of  the   transactions
contemplated  by the Zurich  Purchase  Agreement,  the  Company  and the Holders
desire to provide for certain  registration rights with respect to the shares of
Company Common Stock held by the Holders.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  and the  respective
covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1. Registration on Request.

     1.1 Notice.  Subject to the terms and conditions  set forth herein,  at any
time or from time to time after the effective  time of the Merger,  upon written
notice  of  one  or  more  Holders   requesting  that  the  Company  effect  the
registration  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  (the  "Securities
Act"),  of all or part of the  Registrable  Securities  (as defined in Section 7
hereof) held by such Holders  (each a "Requesting  Holder"),  which notice shall
specify  the  intended  method or methods  of  disposition  of such  Registrable
Securities,  the Company will (i) promptly  give written  notice of the proposed
registration  to all Holders and (ii) use its reasonable  best efforts to effect
(at the earliest practicable date) the registration,



     

<PAGE>



under the Securities  Act, of such  Registrable  Securities  for  disposition in
accordance  with the intended  method or methods of  disposition  stated in such
request,  together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any
Holder or Holders  joining in such request as are specified in a written request
received by the Company  within 10 business days after  written  notice from the
Company is given under clause (i) above (each of such joining Holders also being
referred to as a "Requesting Holder"), provided that:

          (a) if the Company shall have previously  effected a registration with
     respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof on behalf of
     a Requesting Holder or Holders, the Company shall not be required to effect
     any  registration  pursuant  to this  Section  1 until a period of 180 days
     shall have elapsed from the effective date of the most recent such previous
     registration;   provided,  that  if,  in  the  most  recent  such  previous
     registration,  participation by such Requesting  Holder or Holders pursuant
     to  Section 2 hereof  shall not have been to the extent  requested  by such
     Requesting Holder or Holders pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then the Company
     shall not be required to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 1
     until a period of 90 days shall have elapsed from the effective date of the
     most recent such previous registration;

          (b) if,  upon  receipt  of a  registration  request  pursuant  to this
     Section  1,  the  Company  is  advised  in  writing  (with  a copy  to each
     Requesting Holder) by a recognized national independent  investment banking
     firm selected by the Company that, in such firm's  opinion,  a registration
     at the time and on the terms requested  would  adversely  affect any public
     offering  of  securities  of the  Company  by the  Company  (other  than in
     connection  with employee  benefit and similar plans) or by or on behalf of
     any  shareholder  of the Company  exercising  a demand  registration  right
     (collectively,  a "Company Offering") with respect to which the Company has
     commenced  preparations  for a  registration  prior  to  the  receipt  of a
     registration  request  pursuant to this Section 1, the Company shall not be
     required  to effect a  registration  pursuant  to this  Section 1 until the
     earlier of (i) 30 days after the completion of such Company Offering,  (ii)
     promptly after any  abandonment  of such Company  Offering or (iii) 60 days
     after  the date of  receipt  of a  registration  request  pursuant  to this
     Section 1;  provided,  however,  that the periods  during which the Company
     shall not be required to effect a  registration  pursuant to this Section 1
     together  with any periods of  suspension  under Section 3.3 hereof may not
     exceed 90 days in the aggregate during any period of 12 consecutive months;

          (c) if, while any  registration  request pursuant to this Section 1 is
     pending, the Company determines in the good faith judgment of the principal
     securities  counsel or outside  securities  counsel of the Company that the
     filing of a  registration  statement  would require  disclosure of material
     information  which  the  Company  has a  bona  fide  business  purpose  for
     preserving as  confidential,  the Company shall not be required to effect a
     registration  pursuant to this  Section 1 until the earlier of (i) the date
     upon which such material  information  is disclosed to the public or ceases
     to be  material  or (ii) 30 days  after the  Company  makes such good faith
     determination; and




                                        2

<PAGE>



          (d) the  Holders  (together  with all  transferees  of the  Holders as
     contemplated  by  Section  6  hereof)  shall  have the  right  to  exercise
     registration  rights  pursuant  to this  Section  1 up to a number of times
     equal to eight  (8) plus the  number of  Blackout  Termination  Rights  (as
     defined in Section 3.3(b) hereof) provided for by Section 3.3(b); provided,
     that a registration  will not count as an exercise of  registration  rights
     under this  Section 1 until the  registration  statement  relating  to such
     exercise has become effective; provided, further that the Holders shall not
     have the right to exercise  registration  rights pursuant to this Section 1
     more  than one (1) time  plus the  number of  Blackout  Termination  Rights
     provided for by Section 3.3(b) during any 6-month period; provided, further
     that the number of shares of Company  Common Stock  registered  pursuant to
     any registration requested pursuant to this Section 1 shall be no less than
     the  least of (i)  Registrable  Securities  having  an  aggregate  expected
     offering  price of $10  million  (before  any  underwriting  discounts  and
     commissions)  and (ii) the  number of shares  of Common  Stock  held by all
     Holders  (including  any  transferees   entitled  to  registration   rights
     hereunder);  and  provided,  further  that the  Holders  shall  utilize any
     Blackout   Termination  Rights  before  their  other  registration   rights
     hereunder.

     1.2  Inclusion  of  Other  Securities  in   Registration.   The  number  of
Registrable   Securities  to  be  included  in  a  registration  of  Registrable
Securities  pursuant  to  Section  1.1 shall not be  reduced  as a result of the
inclusion in such  registration of Company Common Stock pursuant to a request of
any holder thereof exercising  incidental  registration  rights similar to those
set forth in Section 2 hereof. If the registration pursuant to Section 1.1 is an
underwritten  offering  and the  managing  underwriter  advises  the  Holders in
writing that such  incidental  registration  would interfere with the successful
marketing of the securities being  distributed by such underwriters and requires
a limitation on the number of shares to be  underwritten,  the securities of the
Company  held by Persons  (as  defined in  Section 7 hereof)  who,  by virtue of
agreements  with the Company,  are  entitled to include  their  securities  in a
registration  of Registrable  Securities  hereunder  (the "Other  Stockholders")
shall be  excluded  from such  registration  to the extent so  required  by such
limitation. If, after the exclusion of such shares, further reductions are still
required, the number of shares included in the registration by each Holder shall
be  reduced  on a pro rata  basis  (based on the  number of shares  held by such
Holder),  by such  minimum  number of shares as is necessary to comply with such
request.  No Registrable  Securities or any other  securities  excluded from the
underwriting  by  reason  of the  underwriter's  marketing  limitation  shall be
included  in such  registration.  If any  Other  Stockholder  who has  requested
inclusion in such registration as provided above disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting,  such Person may elect to withdraw  therefrom by written notice to
the Company,  the  underwriter  and the  Requesting  Holders.  The securities so
withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration. If the managing underwriter
has not limited the number of Registrable  Securities or other  securities to be
underwritten,  the Company and officers and directors of the Company may include
its or their securities for its or their own account in such registration if the
managing  underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable  Securities and
other securities  which would otherwise have been included in such  registration
and underwriting will not thereby be limited.

     1.3 Registration  Expenses.  Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 7
hereof) for any registration  requested pursuant to this Section 1 shall be paid
by the Company,  except that with respect to any such  registration  the Company
shall not bear underwriting  discounts or commissions;  provided,  however, that
if, as a result of the  withdrawal of a request for  registration  by any of the
Holders,  as applicable,  the registration  statement does not become effective,
the Holders and any Other  Stockholders of Common Stock requesting  registration
may elect to bear the Registration Expenses (pro rata on the basis of the number
of their shares so included in the registration  request, or on such other basis
as such  Holders  and such Other  Stockholders  may  agree),  in which case such
registration shall not be counted as a registration pursuant to Section 1.

     Section 2. Incidental Registration.

     2.1 Notice and Registration. If the Company proposes to register any of its
Voting Equity  Securities (as defined in Section 7 hereof) ("Other  Securities")
for public sale under the  Securities  Act  (whether  proposed to be offered for
sale by the Company or any other Person ("Intended Seller")), on a form and in a
manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the
public under the Securities  Act, the Company will give prompt written notice to
the Holders of its intention to do so, and upon the written  request of a Holder
delivered  to the Company  within 10 business  days after the giving of any such
notice  (which  request  shall  specify  the  amount of  Registrable  Securities
intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of disposition
thereof),  the  Company  will use its  reasonable  best  efforts to  effect,  in
connection with the registration of the Other Securities, the registration under
the Securities Act of all Registrable  Securities  which the Company has been so
requested to register by each such Holder,  to the extent required to permit the
disposition  (in  accordance  with the  intended  method or  methods  thereof as
aforesaid) of Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that:

          (i) if, at any time after giving such written  notice of its intention
     to register any Other  Securities  and prior to the  effective  date of the
     registration  statement  filed in connection  with such  registration,  the
     Company shall determine for any reason not to register the Other Securities
     the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination
     to each Holder requesting  inclusion in such registration and thereupon the
     Company shall be relieved of its  obligation  to register such  Registrable
     Securities in connection  with the  registration  of such Other  Securities
     (but not from its  obligation  to pay  Registration  Expenses to the extent
     incurred in  connection  therewith  as  provided  in Section  2.2  hereof),
     without prejudice,  however,  to the rights (if any) of one or more Holders
     immediately to request that such registration be effected as a registration
     under Section 1 hereof;

          (ii) the Company shall not be required to effect any  registration  of
     Registrable  Securities under this Section 2 incidental to the registration
     of any of its securities  solely in connection with mergers,  acquisitions,
     exchange offers, recapitalizations, reclassifications, subscription offers,
     dividend  reinvestment  plans or stock  option  or other  benefit  plans or
     pursuant to the shelf  registration  rights of Zurich (except to the extent
     expressly contemplated by the Zurich Registration Rights Agreement); and




                                        4

<PAGE>



          (iii) in the event that one or more Holders  requests the registration
     of Registrable Securities in connection with any underwritten  registration
     of Other  Securities  and the  managing  underwriter  of such  registration
     informs  such  Holders and any other  holder of  securities  of the Company
     requesting  registration  in  connection  with such  registration  of Other
     Securities  in  writing  of its belief  that the  distribution  of all or a
     specified  number  of such  Registrable  Securities  concurrently  with the
     securities being distributed by such underwriters  would interfere with the
     successful   marketing  of  the  securities   being   distributed  by  such
     underwriters  (such  writing  to state  the  basis of such  belief  and the
     approximate number of such Registrable  Securities which may be distributed
     without  such  effect),  then the  Company  shall so advise all  holders of
     securities requesting registration,  and the number of shares of securities
     that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall
     be allocated in the following manner: the securities of the Company held by
     officers,  directors  and Other  Stockholders  of the  Company  (other than
     securities  held by Existing  Holders or holders who by  contractual  right
     demanded such  registration  ("Demanding  Holders")) shall be excluded from
     such   registration  and  underwriting  to  the  extent  required  by  such
     limitation, and, if a limitation on the number of shares is still required,
     the  number  of  shares  that  may  be  included  in the  registration  and
     underwriting  by  each  of the  Holders,  Existing  Holders  which  are not
     Demanding  Holders with respect to such  registration and Demanding Holders
     with respect to such  registration  which are not Existing Holders shall be
     reduced,  on a pro rata basis  (based on the number of shares  held by such
     holder),  by such  minimum  number of shares as is necessary to comply with
     such  limitation;  provided,  however,  that in the event that an  Existing
     Holder is a Demanding Holder with respect to such registration,  the number
     of shares of  Registrable  Securities  proposed  to be included in any such
     registration  by each Holder shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (based on
     the number of shares held by such  holder)  prior to any  reduction  in the
     number of shares to be  included  in such  registration  by such  Demanding
     Holder.  Any  Registrable   Securities  or  other  securities  excluded  or
     withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.

No  registration of Registrable  Securities  effected under this Section 2 shall
relieve the Company of its  obligation to effect a  registration  of Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 1.

     2.2  Registration  Expenses.  The  Company  (as between the Company and the
Holders) will pay all Registration  Expenses in connection with any registration
pursuant to this Section 2, except that with  respect to any such  registration,
the Company shall not bear underwriting discounts or commissions.

     Section 3. Registration Procedures.

     3.1 Registration and Qualification. If and whenever the Company is required
to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Sections 1 and 2 hereof,  the
Company will as promptly as is practicable:

          (a)  prepare,  file and use its  reasonable  best  efforts to cause to
     become  effective  a  registration   statement  under  the  Securities  Act
     regarding Registrable Securities to be offered;

          (b)  prepare  and file with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
     ("SEC") such amendments and supplements to such registration  statement and
     the  prospectus  used in  connection  therewith as may be necessary to keep
     such registration  statement effective and to comply with the provisions of
     the  Securities  Act with  respect to the  disposition  of all  Registrable
     Securities  until the  earlier of (i) such time as all of such  Registrable
     Securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
     disposition by Holder set forth in such registration  statement or (ii) the
     expiration of 180 days after such registration  statement becomes effective
     (plus such additional days as may be provided under Section 3.3(c)), but in
     no event more than nine months after such  registration  statement  becomes
     effective;

          (c)   advise   each   Holder   participating   in  such   registration
     ("Participating  Holder") and any underwriter promptly and, if requested by
     such Persons,  confirm such advice in writing,  (i) when such  registration
     statement and the prospectus  used in connection  therewith has been filed,
     and, with respect to any  supplement to the  registration  statement or any
     post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective,  (ii)
     of any request by the SEC for amendments to such registration  statement or
     amendments or supplements to such prospectus or for additional  information
     relating  thereto,  or (iii) of the  issuance  by the SEC of any stop order
     suspending  the  effectiveness  of such  registration  statement  under the
     Securities Act or of the suspension by any state  securities  commission of
     the qualification of any Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any
     jurisdiction  or of  the  initiation  of  any  proceeding  for  any  of the
     preceding  purposes.  If at any time the SEC  shall  issue  any stop  order
     suspending such effectiveness of such registration  statement, or any state
     securities  commission or other  regulatory  authority shall issue an order
     suspending  the  qualification  or  exemption  from  qualification  of  the
     Registrable Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, the Company
     shall use its  reasonable  best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting
     of such order at the earliest possible time;

          (d)  furnish  to each  Participating  Holder,  and to any  underwriter
     before filing with the SEC, copies of such registration  statement and such
     prospectus  included  therein and any  amendments and  supplements  thereto
     (including   all  documents   incorporated   by  reference   prior  to  the
     effectiveness of such registration statement),  which documents, other than
     documents incorporated by reference,  will be subject to the review of such
     Participating  Holders  and any such  underwriter  for a period of at least
     five  business  days,  and the  Company  shall not file  such  registration
     statement or such



                                        6

<PAGE>



       prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such registration  statement
       or prospectus to which such Participating Holders or any such underwriter
       shall  reasonably  object  within  five  business  days after the receipt
       thereof;  Participating Holders or underwriters,  if any, shall be deemed
       to have  reasonably  objected  to such  filing  only if the  registration
       statement,   amendment,  prospectus  or  supplement,  as  applicable,  as
       proposed to be filed, contains a material misstatement or omission;

          (e) to the  extent  practicable,  promptly  prior to the filing of any
     document  that  is  to  be  incorporated  by  reference  into  registration
     statement or such prospectus  subsequent to the effectiveness  thereof, and
     in any event no later  than the date such  document  is filed with the SEC,
     provide copies of such document to each Participating Holder, if requested,
     and to any underwriter,  make  representatives of the Company available for
     discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters,  and
     include such  information  in such document  prior to the filing thereof as
     such Participating Holders or any such underwriter reasonably may request;

          (f)  make  available  at  reasonable  times  for  inspection  by  each
     Participating  Holder,  any  underwriter  participating  in any disposition
     pursuant to such  registration  statement  and any  attorney or  accountant
     retained by Participating  Holders or any such  underwriter,  all financial
     and other  records,  pertinent  corporate  documents and  properties of the
     Company and cause the  officers,  directors and employees of the Company to
     supply all information  reasonably  requested by Participating  Holders and
     any such  underwriters,  attorneys or  accountants  in connection  with the
     registration  statement  subsequent to the filing  thereof and prior to its
     effectiveness;

          (g) if  requested  by any  Participating  Holder  or any  underwriter,
     promptly incorporate in such registration statement or prospectus, pursuant
     to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary,  such information
     as such Participating  Holder and any underwriter may reasonably request to
     have included therein, including, without limitation,  information relating
     to the "plan of  distribution" of the Registrable  Securities,  information
     with  respect to the  principal  amount or number of shares of  Registrable
     Securities  being sold to such  underwriter,  the purchase price being paid
     therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable  Securities
     to be sold in such  offering  and make  all  required  filings  of any such
     prospectus  supplement or  post-effective  amendment as soon as practicable
     after the Company is notified  of the  matters to be  incorporated  in such
     prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

          (h)  use  its  reasonable   best  efforts  to  cause  all  Registrable
     Securities covered by such registration  statement to be registered with or
     approved  by  such  other  federal  or  state   governmental   agencies  or
     authorities  as may be  necessary  in the opinion of counsel to the Company
     and counsel to the Holders of Registrable  Securities to enable the Holders
     thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

          (i) furnish to each  Participating  Holder and to any  underwriter  of
     such  Registrable  Securities  such  number  of  conformed  copies  of  the
     registration  statement and of each such amendment and  supplement  thereto
     (in each  case  including  all  exhibits),  such  number  of  copies of the
     prospectus included in such registration statement



                                        7

<PAGE>



       (including each preliminary  prospectus and any summary  prospectus),  in
       conformity  with the  requirements  of the Securities Act, such documents
       incorporated by reference in such  registration  statement or prospectus,
       and such other documents as such Participating Holder or such underwriter
       may reasonably request;  and promptly notify each Participating Holder of
       Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement of the receipt
       by the Company of any notification  with respect to the suspension of the
       qualification  or exemption from  qualification of any of the Registrable
       Securities  for  sale  in  any  jurisdiction  or  the  initiation  of any
       proceeding for such purpose, and at the request of any such Participating
       Holder promptly  prepare and furnish to it a reasonable  number of copies
       of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary
       so that, as thereafter  delivered to those purchasers of such securities,
       such prospectus  shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact
       or omit to  state a  material  fact  required  to be  stated  therein  or
       necessary   to  make  the   statements   therein  in  the  light  of  the
       circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

          (j) use its  reasonable  best  efforts  to  register  or  qualify  all
     Registrable  Securities  covered by such registration  statement under such
     other securities or blue sky laws of such United States  jurisdictions as a
     Participating  Holder or any  underwriter  of such  Registrable  Securities
     shall  reasonably  request,  to keep such  registration or qualification in
     effect  for so long as the  applicable  registration  statement  remains in
     effect and do any and all other acts and things  which may be  necessary or
     advisable  to  enable  such  Participating  Holder  or any  underwriter  to
     consummate  the  disposition  in  such  jurisdictions  of  its  Registrable
     Securities covered by such registration statement,  except that the Company
     shall not for any such  purpose  be  required  to qualify  generally  to do
     business as a foreign  corporation in any  jurisdiction  where it is not so
     qualified, or to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or to
     consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

          (k) (i)  furnish to each  Participating  Holder,  addressed  to it, an
     opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the date of the closing under the
     underwriting  agreement,  if  any,  or the  date  of  effectiveness  of the
     registration   statement  if  such  registration  is  not  an  underwritten
     offering,  and (ii) use its  reasonable  best  efforts  to  furnish to each
     Participating  Holder,  addressed to it, a "cold comfort"  letter signed by
     the  independent  certified  public  accountants  who  have  certified  the
     Company's  financial  statements  included in such  registration  statement
     covering  substantially  the same matters with respect to such registration
     statement  (and the prospectus  included  therein) and, in the case of such
     accountants'  letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such
     financial  statements,  as are customarily  covered in opinions of issuer's
     counsel  and  in   accountants'   letters   delivered  to  underwriters  in
     underwritten  public offerings of securities and such other matters as such
     Participating Holder may reasonably request; and

          (l) immediately  notify each  Participating  Holder at any time when a
     prospectus relating to a registration  pursuant to Section 1 or 2 hereof is
     required to be delivered  under the  Securities Act of the happening of any
     event as a result of which the  prospectus  included  in such  registration
     statement,  as then in effect,  includes an untrue  statement of a material
     fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated



                                        8

<PAGE>



       therein or  necessary  to make the  statements  therein,  in light of the
       circumstances  under  which they were made,  not  misleading,  and at the
       request  of  a   Participating   Holder   prepare  and  furnish  to  such
       Participating  Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or
       an  amendment  of  such  prospectus  as  may be  necessary  so  that,  as
       thereafter  delivered to the purchasers of such  Registrable  Securities,
       such prospectus  shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact
       or omit to  state a  material  fact  required  to be  stated  therein  or
       necessary to make the statements  therein,  in light of the circumstances
       under which they are made, not misleading; and

          (m) provide  promptly to each  Participating  Holder upon  request any
     document filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the  requirements of
     Section  13 and  Section  15 of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as
     amended (the "Exchange Act").

     The Company may require a Participating  Holder to furnish the Company such
information  regarding such  Participating  Holder and the  distribution of such
securities  as the Company may from time to time  reasonably  request in writing
and as shall be required  by law or by the SEC or the  National  Association  of
Securities Dealers , Inc. ("NASD") in connection with any registration.

     3.2  Underwriting.  (a) If a registration  requested  pursuant to Section 1
involves an underwritten offering, the underwriter or underwriters thereof shall
be selected by a majority in interest of the Requesting  Holders  (provided that
the   book-running   and  other  managing   underwriters   shall  be  reasonably
satisfactory  to  the  Company).  If  requested  by  any  underwriters  for  any
underwritten  offering of  Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to a  registration
requested hereunder,  the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement with
such   underwriters   for  such   offering,   such  agreement  to  contain  such
representations  and  warranties  by  the  Company  and  such  other  terms  and
provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting  agreements with respect
to secondary  distributions,  including,  without  limitation,  indemnities  and
contribution  to the effect and to the extent  provided  in Section 5 hereof and
the provision of opinions of counsel and accountants'  letters to the effect and
to the extent provided in Section 3.1(k). The Requesting Holders on whose behalf
Registrable  Securities  are to be  distributed  by such  underwriters  shall be
parties  to  any  such  underwriting  agreement,  and  the  representations  and
warranties  by, and the other  agreements on the part of, the Company to and for
the  benefit of such  underwriters  shall also be made to and for the benefit of
such Requesting Holders.

     (b) In the event that any  registration  pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall
involve, in whole or in part, an underwritten  offering, the Company may require
(but  is not  obligated  to  require)  Registrable  Securities  requested  to be
registered pursuant to Section 2 to be included in such underwriting on the same
terms and conditions as shall be applicable to the Other  Securities  being sold
through  underwriters under such  registration.  In such case, the Participating
Holders on whose behalf  Registrable  Securities  are to be  distributed by such
underwriters shall be parties to any such underwriting agreement. Such agreement
shall contain such  representations  and  warranties by each such  Participating
Holder  and such other  terms and  provision  as are  customarily  contained  in
underwriting  agreement  with  respect  to  secondary  distribution,  including,
without limitation, indemnities and contribution to the



                                        9

<PAGE>



  effect and to the extent provided in Section 5 hereof. The representations and
  warranties in such underwriting  agreement by, and the other agreements on the
  part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be
  made to and for the benefit of such Participating Holders.

     3.3  Blackout  Periods.  (a) At any  time  when  a  registration  statement
effected pursuant to Section 1 hereunder  relating to Registrable  Securities is
effective,  upon written notice from the Company to each Requesting  Holder that
either:

          (i) the Company has determined to engage in a Company Offering and has
     been  advised  in  writing  (with a copy to each  Requesting  Holder)  by a
     recognized  national  independent  investment  banking firm selected by the
     Company that, in such firm's opinion,  Requesting Holder's or Holders' sale
     of Registrable  Securities  pursuant to the  registration  statement  would
     adversely affect the Company's own immediately  planned Company Offering (a
     "Transaction Blackout"); or

          (ii)  the  Company  determines  in  the  good  faith  judgment  of the
     principal  securities  counsel or outside securities counsel of the Company
     that  Requesting  Holder's sale of Registrable  Securities  pursuant to the
     registration  statement  would require  disclosure of material  information
     which the  Company  has a bona fide  business  purpose  for  preserving  as
     confidential (an "Information Blackout"),

  Requesting  Holder shall suspend sales of Registrable  Securities  pursuant to
  such registration statement until the earlier of:

               (X) (i) in the case of a Transaction Blackout, the earlier of (A)
          30 days  after  the  completion  of  such  Company  Offering,  (B) the
          termination of any "black out" period required by the  underwriters to
          be applicable to Requesting  Holder,  if any, in connection  with such
          the Company  Offering,  (C) promptly after abandonment of such Company
          Offering  and (D) 60 days  after  the  date of the  Company's  written
          notice of Transaction Blackout or

               (ii) in the case of an Information  Blackout,  the earlier of (A)
          the date upon which such  material  information  is  disclosed  to the
          public or ceases to be material or (B) 30 days after the Company makes
          such good faith determination and

          (Y) such time as the  Company  notifies  such  Requesting  Holder that
     sales pursuant to such registration statement may be resumed (the number of
     days from such suspension of sales of Requesting  Holder until the day when
     such sales may be resumed hereunder is hereinafter called a "Sales Blackout
     Period");

provided,  that the Company may not impose a Transaction  Blackout following the
printing and distribution of a preliminary prospectus in any underwritten public
offering of Registrable  Securities  pursuant to Section 1 until the termination
of the distribution of such Registrable Securities (except such suspension,  not
to exceed 10 days, which results from an event that is not within the reasonable
control of the Company). Notwithstanding the provisions of this



                                       10

<PAGE>



Section 3.3, the Company shall not suspend the registration  rights set forth in
this  Agreement  at any time  during  which any  similar  rights  of the  Zurich
Insurance Company and Textron,  Inc., or any successors  thereof to such rights,
are not similarly suspended.

     (b) Any  delivery  by the  Company of notice of a  Transaction  Blackout or
Information Blackout (i) during the 90 days immediately following  effectiveness
of any  registration  statement  effected  pursuant  to Section 1 hereof or (ii)
which shall preclude any registration  statement  effected pursuant to Section 1
hereof  from  being  effective  for an  aggregate  period of 180 days (plus such
additional  days as may be provided under Section  3.3(c)),  during which period
there existed no applicable Transaction Blackout or Information Blackout,  shall
give such  Requesting  Holders  the right,  by notice to the  Company  within 20
Business Days after the end of such blackout period, to cancel such registration
and obtain one additional  registration right (a "Blackout  Termination  Right")
under Section 1.1(d).

     (c) If there is a  Transaction  Blackout  or an  Information  Blackout  and
Requesting Holders do not exercise their cancellation right, if any, pursuant to
(b) above, or, if such cancellation right is not available,  the time period set
forth in  Section  3.1(b)  shall be  extended  for a number of days equal to the
number of days in the Sales Blackout Period.

     Section 4. Preparation; Reasonable Investigation.

     4.1  Preparation;   Reasonable   Investigation.   In  connection  with  the
preparation and filing of each registration  statement  registering  Registrable
Securities  under the  Securities  Act,  the Company will give each Holder whose
shares are included in such registration and the underwriters, if any, and their
respective counsel and accountants,  such reasonable and customary access to its
books and records and such  opportunities to discuss the business of the Company
with its officers and the independent  public accountants who have certified its
financial  statements as shall be  necessary,  in the opinion of such Holder and
such  underwriters  or  their  respective   counsel,  to  conduct  a  reasonable
investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act.

     Section 5. Indemnification and Contribution.

     5.1 Indemnification and Contribution.  (a) In the event of any registration
of any Registrable  Securities hereunder,  the Company will enter into customary
indemnification  arrangements  to indemnify  and hold harmless each Holder whose
shares are included in such registration,  such Holder's directors and officers,
each Person who  participates  as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such
securities,  each officer or director of each  underwriter,  and each Person, if
any, who controls such seller or any such underwriter (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against any losses, claims,  damages,  liabilities and expenses,
joint or several,  to which such Person may be subject under the  Securities Act
or otherwise insofar as such losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities or expenses
(or actions or  proceedings  in respect  thereof) arise out of or are based upon
(i) any untrue  statement  or alleged  untrue  statement  of any  material  fact
contained  in any  registration  statement  under  which  such  securities  were
registered  under  the  Securities  Act,  any  preliminary  prospectus  or final
prospectus  included  therein,  or any amendment or supplement  thereto,  or any
document  incorporated  by  reference  therein,  or (ii) any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a



                                       11

<PAGE>



material fact required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading,  and the Company will reimburse each such Person for any
legal or any other  expenses  reasonably  incurred by such Person in  connection
with  investigating  or defending  any such loss,  claim,  liability,  action or
proceeding;  provided  that the Company  shall not be liable in any such case to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding
in  respect  thereof)  or  expense  arises  out of or is  based  upon an  untrue
statement or alleged  untrue  statement or omission or alleged  omission made in
such  registration   statement,   any  such  preliminary   prospectus  or  final
prospectus,  or  amendment  or  supplement  thereto  in  reliance  upon  and  in
conformity with written  information  furnished to the Company by such Holder or
any such  underwriter for use in the preparation  thereof.  Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect  regardless of any  investigation  made by or on
behalf of such Holder or any such Person and shall  survive the transfer of such
securities  by such  Holder.  The  Company  also  shall  agree to  provide  such
provision for  contribution  as shall be reasonably  requested by such Holder or
any underwriters in circumstances where such indemnity is held unenforceable.

     (b) Each Holder whose shares are included in a  registration,  by virtue of
exercising its  registration  rights  hereunder,  agrees and undertakes to enter
into customary  indemnification  arrangements to indemnify and hold harmless (in
the same  manner  and to the same  extent  as set  forth in  clause  (a) of this
Section 5) the  Company,  each  director  of the  Company,  each  officer of the
Company who shall sign such registration statement, each Person who participates
as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such  securities,  each officer and
director of each  underwriter and each Person,  if any, who controls the Company
or any such  underwriter  within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect
to any statement or omission from such registration statement,.  any preliminary
prospectus or final  prospectus  included therein or any amendment or supplement
thereto,  if such  statement  or  omission  was  made in  reliance  upon  and in
conformity with written information  furnished by such Holder to the Company for
inclusion in such  registration  statement or prospectus.  Such indemnity  shall
remain in full force and effect  regardless of any  investigation  made by or on
behalf of the Company or any such director,  officer or  controlling  Person and
shall survive the transfer of the  registered  securities  by such Holder.  Each
such Holder also shall agree to provide such provision or  contribution as shall
reasonably  be requested  by the Company or any  underwriters  in  circumstances
where such indemnity is held  unenforceable;  provided,  that the obligations of
each of the Holders  hereunder  and under  clause (f) of this Section 5 shall be
limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder of securities sold
as contemplated herein.

     (c) Each  party  entitled  to  indemnification  under  this  Section 5 (the
"Indemnified  Party")  shall  give  notice  to the  party  required  to  provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the  Indemnifying  Party to assume  the  defense of any such claim or any
litigation  resulting  therefrom;  provided  that  counsel for the  Indemnifying
Party,  who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation  resulting
therefrom,  shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
unreasonably  be withheld) and the  Indemnified  Party may  participate  in such
defense  at such  party's  expense  (unless  the  Indemnified  Party  shall have
reasonably  concluded  that  there may be a conflict  of  interest  between  the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party



                                       12

<PAGE>



in such action,  in which case the fees and expenses of one such counsel for all
Indemnified  Parties  shall be at the expense of the  Indemnifying  Party),  and
provided  further  that the failure of any  Indemnified  Party to give notice as
provided  herein  shall not relieve the  Indemnifying  Party of its  obligations
under this  Section 5 unless the  Indemnifying  Party is  materially  prejudiced
thereby.  No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation,
shall,  except with the consent of each  Indemnified  Party (which consent shall
not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed),  consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any  settlement  which  does not  include  as an  unconditional  term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such  Indemnified  Party of a
release  from  all  liability  in  respect  to such  claim or  litigation.  Each
Indemnified  Party shall furnish such information  regarding itself or the claim
in question as an  Indemnifying  Party may reasonably  request in writing and as
shall be reasonably  required in  connection  with the defense of such claim and
litigation resulting therefrom.

     (d) If the  indemnification  provided  for in this  Section  5 is held by a
court of competent  jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified  Party with
respect to any loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or expense  referred to herein,
then the  Indemnifying  Party, in lieu of indemnifying  such  Indemnified  Party
hereunder,  shall  contribute to the amount paid or payable by such  Indemnified
Party as a result of such  loss,  liability,  claim,  damage or  expense in such
proportion as is appropriate  to reflect the relative fault of the  Indemnifying
Party on the one hand and of the  Indemnified  Party on the other in  connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability,  claim,
damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable  considerations.  The
relative fault of the Indemnifying  Party and of the Indemnified  Party shall be
determined by reference  to, among other things,  whether the untrue (or alleged
untrue)  statement of a material  fact or the omission (or alleged  omission) to
state a material  fact relates to  information  as supplied by the  Indemnifying
Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties'  relative intent,  knowledge,
access to  information  and  opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.

     (e)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  to the extent that the provisions on
indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered
into in connection with any  underwritten  public offering  contemplated by this
Agreement are in conflict with the foregoing provisions,  the provisions in such
underwriting agreement shall be controlling.

     (f) The foregoing indemnity agreement of the Company and Holders is subject
to the condition that,  insofar as they relate to any loss, claim,  liability or
damage  made in a  preliminary  prospectus  but  eliminated  or  remedied in the
amended  prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration  statement
in  question  becomes  effective  or the amended  prospectus  filed with the SEC
pursuant  to SEC  Rule  424(b)  (the  "Final  Prospectus"),  such  indemnity  or
contribution  agreement  shall not inure to the  benefit of any  underwriter  or
Holder (but only if such Holder was required to deliver  such Final  Prospectus)
if a copy of the Final  Prospectus was furnished to the  underwriter and was not
furnished to the Person  asserting  the loss,  liability,  claim or damage at or
prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.




                                       13

<PAGE>



     (g)  Indemnification  and  contribution  similar to that  specified  in the
preceding subdivisions of this Section 5 (with appropriate  modifications) shall
be  given  by the  Company  and  such  Holders  with  respect  to  any  required
registration or other  qualification  of such  Registrable  Securities under any
federal or state law or  regulation  of  governmental  authority  other than the
Securities Act.

     Section 6. Benefits of Registration Rights.

     6.1 Benefits of  Registration  Rights.  Each Holder and any  transferees of
Registrable Securities permitted hereunder may jointly exercise the registration
rights hereunder in such manner and in such proportion as they shall agree among
themselves,  provided that any such transferees shall be subject to and bound by
all of the terms and conditions hereof applicable to the Holders.

     6.2 Non-exclusive  Means of Sale. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to preclude any Holder from selling any  Registrable  Securities  in  accordance
with the provisions of Rule 144 (or any successor  provision  thereto) under the
Securities Act in accordance with the provisions hereof.

     6.3 Rule 144  Reporting.  With a view to making  available  the benefits of
certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of restricted
securities to the public without  registration,  the company agrees to: (i) make
and keep public information  available as those terms are understood and defined
in Rule 144 under the  Securities Act ("Rule 144"),  at all times;  (ii) use its
best  efforts  to file with the SEC in a timely  manner  all  reports  and other
documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
and (iii) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable  Securities,  furnish to such
Holder upon  request,  a written  statement by the Company as to its  compliance
with the reporting  requirements  of Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the
Exchange  Act,  a copy of the most  recent  annual  or  quarterly  report of the
Company,  and such  other  reports  and  documents  so filed as the  Holder  may
reasonably  request  in  availing  itself of any rule or  regulation  of the SEC
allowing the Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

     Section 7. Certain Definitions.

     7.1 "Existing Holders," shall mean Textron or Zurich, and shall include any
transferees  thereof who are  entitled to  registration  rights from the Company
pursuant to the Textron Registration Rights Agreement or the Zurich Registration
Rights Agreement.

     7.2  "Person,"  means  an  individual,  partnership,  joint-stock  company,
corporation, trust or unincorporated organization, and a government or agency or
political subdivision thereof.

     7.3 "Registration Expenses," as used in this Agreement,  means all expenses
incident to the Company's  performance  of or compliance  with the  registration

Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
Salomon Brothers Inc
c/o Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
1585 Broadway
New York, New York 10036


Dear Sirs:

     The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("Morgan
Stanley") and Salomon Brothers Inc ("Salomon  Brothers"),  as Representatives of
the several Underwriters,  propose to enter into an Underwriting  Agreement (the
"Underwriting  Agreement")  with  Textron  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the
"Selling  Stockholder") and Provident  Companies,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation
(the "Company") providing for the public offering (the "Public Offering") by the
several  Underwriters,  including  Morgan  Stanley  and  Salomon  Brothers  (the
"Underwriters"),  of 5,917,500 shares (the "Shares") of the Common Stock,  $1.00
par value per share of the Company (the "Common Stock"). The number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the undersigned as of May 31, 1996, is as set
forth  opposite  his name on Schedule I to the  Registration  Rights  Agreement,
dated May 31, 1996, between certain stockholders of the Company and the Company.

     To induce the  Underwriters  that may participate in the Public Offering to
continue their efforts in connection with the Public  Offering,  the undersigned
hereby  agrees  that,  without the prior  written  consent of Morgan  Stanley on
behalf of the  Underwriters,  it will not,  during the period  commencing on the
date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the final  prospectus  relating
to the Public Offering (the "Prospectus"),  (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to
sell,  sell any option or contract to purchase,  purchase any option or contract
to sell, grant any option,  right or warrant to purchase,  or otherwise transfer
or  dispose  of,  directly  or  indirectly,  any  shares of Common  Stock or any
securities  convertible  into or  exercisable or  exchangeable  for Common Stock
(provided that such shares or securities are either now owned by the undersigned
or are hereafter  acquired prior to or in connection with the Public  Offering),
or (2) enter into any swap or other  arrangement  that transfers to another,  in
whole or in part, any of the economic  consequences  of ownership of such shares
of Common  Stock,  whether any such  transaction  described in clause (1) or (2)
above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities,  in
cash or otherwise;  provided,  that the undersigned may dispose of any shares of
Common Stock or securities  convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common
Stock (A) pursuant to a bona fide gift  between or among  family  members or the
estate of the undersigned  (including,  without limitation,  any transfer by the
undersigned  to or among  any  trust,  foundation,  custodial  or other  similar
accounts or funds in which the  undersigned or other member of his family serves
as trustee or custodian or in a similar fiduciary capacity or to a trust created
by the undersigned  which has a member of his immediate family as a beneficiary)
and (B) pursuant to any transfer to any organization,  which transfer  qualifies
for the federal  income tax  charitable  deduction at the time of such transfer;
provided further, that in the case of clauses (A) and (B)

above, the transferee is then bound by or agrees to be bound by the restrictions
described in this  paragraph from the date of such transfer until the expiration
of the 90-day period described above. The foregoing  sentence shall not apply to
the  sale  of  any  Shares  to the  Underwriters  pursuant  to the  Underwriting
Agreement.  In addition,  the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written
consent of Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the
period  commencing  on the date  hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the
Prospectus,  make any demand for or  exercise  any right  with  respect  to, the
registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security  convertible  into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

     Whether or not the Public  Offering  actually occurs depends on a number of
factors,  including  market  conditions.  Any Public  Offering will only be made
pursuant  to an  Underwriting  Agreement,  the  terms of which  are  subject  to
agreement between the Company and the Underwriters.

                                            Very truly yours,
