payment in full set aside, the remaining net assets of the corporation  shall be

designations,  relative  rights,  preferences  and  limitations  of  the  Series
Preferred Stock, and particularly of the shares of each series thereof,  may, to
the extent permitted by law, be similar to or may differ from those of any other
series.  The Board of Directors of the corporation is hereby  expressly  granted
authority,  subject to the provisions of this Article III, to issue from time to
time Series  Preferred  Stock in one or more series and to fix from time to time
before issuance  thereof,  by filing a certificate  pursuant to the Banking Law,
the  number of shares in each such  series of such  class and all  designations,
relative rights (including the right, to the extent permitted by law, to convert
into shares of any class or into shares of any series of any class), preferences
and  limitations  of the  shares in each such  series,  including,  buy  without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following:

                    (i) The number of shares to  constitute  such series  (which
          number  may at any  time,  or  from  time to  time,  be  increased  or
          decreased by the Board of  Directors,  notwithstanding  that shares of
          the  series  may be  outstanding  at the  time  of  such  increase  or
          decrease,  unless the Board of Directors shall have otherwise provided
          in creating such series) and the distinctive designation thereof;

                    (ii) The dividend rate on the shares of such series, whether
          or not dividends on the shares of such series shall be cumulative, and
          the date or dates,  if any,  from  which  dividends  thereon  shall be
          cumulative;

                    (iii)  Whether  or not the  share  of such  series  shall be
          redeemable,  and, if redeemable, the date or dates upon or after which
          they shall be redeemable, the amount or amounts per share (which shall
          be,  in the case of each  share,  not less  than its  preference  upon
          involuntary liquidation, plus an amount equal to all dividends thereon
          accrued and unpaid, whether or not earned or declared) payable thereon
          in the  case of the  redemption  thereof,  which  amount  may  vary at
          different redemption dates or otherwise as permitted by law;

                    (iv) The right,  if any, of holders of shares of such series
          to convert the same into,  or exchange  the same for,  Common Stock or
          other stock as permitted by law, and the terms and  conditions of such
          conversion or exchange,  as well as provisions  for  adjustment of the
          conversion  rate  in such  events  as the  Board  of  Directors  shall
          determine;

                    (v) The  amount  per  share  payable  on the  shares of such
          series upon the voluntary and involuntary liquidation,  dissolution or
          winding up of the corporation;

                    (vi) Whether the holders of shares of such series shall have
          voting  power,  full or  limited,  in  addition  to the voting  powers
          provided by law and, in case additional voting powers are accorded, to
          fix the extent thereof; and

                    (vii)  Generally to fix the other rights and  privileges and
          any  qualifications,  limitations or  restrictions  of such rights and
          privileges  of such series,  provided,  however,  that no such rights,
          privileges,  qualifications,  limitations or restrictions  shall be in
          conflict with the organization  certificate of the corporation or with
          the  resolution  or  resolutions  adopted  by the  Board of  Directors
          providing  for the  issue of any  series  of which  there  are  shares
          outstanding.

          All  shares  of Series  Preferred  Stock of the same  series  shall be
identical  in all  respects,  except  that  shares of any one  series  issued at
different times may differ as to dates, if any, from which dividends thereon may
accumulate. All shares of Series Preferred Stock of all series shall be of equal
rank and shall be  identical  in all  respects  except  that to the  extent  not
otherwise  limited in this  Article  III any  series  may differ  from any other
series with  respect to any one or more of the  designations,  relative  rights,
preferences and  limitations  described or referred to in  subparagraphs  (I) to
(vii) inclusive above.

          2. Dividends:  Dividends on the outstanding  Series Preferred Stock of
each  series  shall be  declared  and paid or set apart for  payment  before any
dividends  shall be  declared  and paid or set apart for  payment  on the Common
Stock with  respect to the same  quarterly  dividend  period.  Dividends  on any
shares of Series  Preferred  Stock shall be cumulative only if and to the extent
set forth in a certificate  filed pursuant to law. After dividends on all shares
of Series Preferred Stock (including  cumulative  dividends if and to the extent
any such shares shall be entitled  thereto) shall have been declared and paid or
set apart for payment with respect to any quarterly  dividend  period,  then and
not  otherwise  so long as any shares of Series  Preferred  Stock  shall  remain
outstanding,  dividends  may be declared  and paid or set apart for payment with
respect to the same quarterly dividend period on the Common Stock out the assets
or funds of the corporation legally available therefor.

          All Shares of Series  Preferred  Stock of all series shall be of equal
rank, preference and priority as to dividends irrespective of whether or not the
rates of  dividends  to which the same shall be  entitled  shall be the same and
when the stated  dividends are not paid in full, the shares of all series of the
Series  Preferred Stock shall share ratably in the payment thereof in accordance
with the sums which would be payable on such shares if all  dividends  were paid
in full, provided,  however, that any two or more series of the Series Preferred
Stock may differ from each other as to the  existence and extent of the right to
cumulative dividends, as aforesaid.

          3. Voting  Rights:  Except as otherwise  specifically  provided in the
certificate  filed  pursuant  to law with  respect  to any  series of the Series
Preferred  Stock,  or as otherwise  provided by law, the Series  Preferred Stock
shall not have any right to vote for the  election of directors or for any other
purpose  and the Common  Stock  shall have the  exclusive  right to vote for the
election of directors and for all other purposes.

          4.  Liquidation:  In the  event  of any  liquidation,  dissolution  or
winding up of the corporation,  whether voluntary or involuntary, each series of
Series  Preferred Stock shall have preference and priority over the Common Stock
for payment of the amount to which each  outstanding  series of Series Preferred
Stock shall be  entitled  in  accordance  with the  provisions  thereof and each
holder of  Series  Preferred  Stock  shall be  entitled  to be paid in full such
amount,  or have a sum sufficient for the payment in full set aside,  before any
payments shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock. If, upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the  corporation,  the assets of the corporation or
proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of the shares of all series of
the Series Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential
amount  aforesaid,   then  such  assets,  or  the  proceeds  thereof,  shall  be
distributed among such holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts
which would be payable if all amounts payable  thereon were paid in full.  After
the  payment to the  holders of Series  Preferred  Stock of all such  amounts to
which they are entitled,  as above provided,  the remaining  assets and funds of
the corporation shall be divided and paid to the holders of the Common Stock.

          5.  Redemption:  In the event that the Series  Preferred  Stock of any
series  shall be made  redeemable  as provided in clause (iii) of paragraph 1 of
section (b) of this Article III, the corporation,  at the option of the Board of
Directors,  may redeem at any time or times,  and from time to time,  all or any
part of any one or more series of Series  Preferred Stock  outstanding by paying
for each  share  the then  applicable  redemption  price  fixed by the  Board of
Directors  as  provided  herein,  plus an amount  equal to  accrued  and  unpaid
dividends to the date fixed for redemption, upon such notice and terms as may be
specifically  provided in the certificate  filed pursuant to law with respect to
the series.

          6.  Preemptive  Rights:  No holder of  Series  Preferred  Stock of the
corporation  shall be entitled,  as such, as a matter or right, to subscribe for
or  purchase  any part of any new or  additional  issue of stock of any class or
series  whatsoever,  any  rights or options  to  purchase  stock of any class or
series  whatsoever,  or any securities  convertible  into,  exchangeable  for or
carrying rights or options to purchase stock of any class or series  whatsoever,
whether  now or  hereafter  authorized,  and  whether  issued  for cash or other
consideration, or by way of dividend.

          (c)  Provisions  relating to Floating  Rate  Non-Cumulative  Preferred
Stock, Series A. (Liquidation value $1,000,000 per share.)

          1. Designation:  The distinctive designation of the series established
hereby  shall be  "Floating  Rate  Non-Cumulative  Preferred  Stock,  Series  A"
(hereinafter called "Series A Preferred Stock").

          2.  Number:  The number of shares of Series A  Preferred  Stock  shall
initially be 250 shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock redeemed,  purchased
or otherwise  acquired by the corporation shall be cancelled and shall revert to
authorized but unissued Series Preferred Stock undesignated as to series.

          3. Dividends:

          (a) Dividend  Payments Dates.  Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled  to receive  non-cumulative  cash  dividends  when,  as and if
declared by the Board of  Directors  of the  corporation,  out of funds  legally
available  therefor,  from the date of  original  issuance  of such  shares (the
"Issue Date") and such dividends will be payable on March 28, June 28, September
28 and December 28 of each year ("Dividend  Payment Date") commencing  September
28, 1990, at a rate per annum as determined in paragraph 3(b) below.  The period
beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the day preceding  the first  Dividend
Payment Date and each successive period beginning on a Dividend Payment Date and
ending on the date preceding the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date is herein
called a "Dividend  Period".  If any Dividend Payment Date shall be, in The City
of New York, a Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking  institutions
are  authorized  by law to close,  then  payment  will be  postponed to the next
succeeding  business  day with  the  same  force  and  effect  as if made on the
Dividend  Payment Date,  and no interest  shall accrue for such Dividend  Period
after such Dividend Payment Date.

          (b)  Dividend  Rate.  The  dividend  rate from time to time payable in
respect of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Dividend Rate") shall be determined on
the basis of the following provisions:

          (i) On the Dividend  Determination  Date,  LIBOR will be determined on
the basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of
three months commencing on the second London Business Day immediately  following
such Dividend  Determination  Date,  as such rates appear on the Reuters  Screen
LIBO Page as of 11:00 A.M. London time, on such Dividend  Determination Date. If
at least two such offered rates appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page, LIBOR in
respect  of  such  Dividend  Determination  Dates  will be the  arithmetic  mean
(rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent, with five one-thousandths of
a percent  rounded  upwards) of such offered rates.  If fewer than those offered
rates  appear,  LIBOR in respect  of such  Dividend  Determination  Date will be
determined as described in paragraph (ii) below.

          (ii) On any  Dividend  Determination  Date on which  fewer  than those
offered rates for the applicable maturity appear on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page
as specified in paragraph  (I) above,  LIBOR will be  determined on the basis of
the rates at which  deposits in U.S.  dollars  having a maturity of three months
commencing on the second London Business Day immediately following such Dividend
Determination Date and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is
representative  of a single  transaction in such market at such time are offered
by three major banks in the London  interbank market selected by the corporation
at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such Dividend Determination Date to
prime banks in the London  market.  The  corporation  will request the principal
London  office of each of such banks to provide a quotation  of its rate.  If at
least two such  quotations  are  provided,  LIBOR in  respect  of such  Dividend
Determination  Date  will  be  the  arithmetic  mean  (rounded  to  the  nearest
one-hundredth  of a  percent,  with five  one-thousandths  of a percent  rounded
upwards) of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR in
respect of such Dividend Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean (rounded
to the  nearest  one-hundredth  of a  percent,  with five  one-thousandths  of a
percent  rounded  upwards) of the rates  quoted by three major banks in New York
City selected by the  corporation  at  approximately  11:00 A.M.,  New York City
time, on such Dividend  Determination  Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading
European banks having a maturity of three months commencing on the second London
Business Day  immediately  following such Dividend  Determination  Date and in a
principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is  representative of a single
transaction in such market at such time;  provided,  however,  that if the banks
selected as aforesaid by the  corporation are not quoting as  aforementioned  in
this  sentence,  then,  with  respect  to such  Dividend  Period,  LIBOR for the
preceding Dividend Period will be continued as LIBOR for such Dividend Period.

          (ii) The Dividend  Rate for any Dividend  Period shall be equal to the
lower of 18% or 50 basis points above LIBOR for such Dividend Period as LIBOR is
determined by sections (I) or (ii) above.

As used above, the term "Dividend  Determination  Date" shall mean, with respect
to any Dividend Period, the second London Business Day prior to the commencement
of such Dividend  Period;  and the term "London Business Day" shall mean any day
that is not a  Saturday  or Sunday and that,  in New York City,  is not a day on
which  banking  institutions  generally  are  authorized  or  required by law or
executive order to close and that is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S.
dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

          4. Voting  Rights:  The holders of the Series A Preferred  Stock shall
have the voting power and rights set forth in this paragraph 4 and shall have no
other  voting  power or  rights  except  as  otherwise  may from time to time be
required by law.

          So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain  outstanding,
the  corporation  shall  not,  without  the  affirmative  vote or consent of the
holders  of at least a  majority  of the  votes of the  Series  Preferred  Stock
entitled to vote outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in
writing or by  resolution  adopted at a meeting at which the holders of Series A
Preferred  Stock (alone or together with the holders of one or more other series
of Series  Preferred  Stock at the time  outstanding  and entitled to vote) vote
separately as a class,  alter the provisions of the Series Preferred Stock so as
to materially adversely affect its rights; provided,  however, that in the event
any such materially  adverse  alteration affects the rights of only the Series A
Preferred Stock, then the alteration may be effected with the vote or consent of
at least a majority  of the votes of the  Series A  Preferred  Stock;  provided,
further, that an increase in the amount of the authorized Series Preferred Stock
and/or the creation and/or issuance of other series of Series Preferred Stock in
accordance with the organization  certificate shall not be, nor be deemed to be,
materially  adverse  alterations.  In connection with the exercise of the voting
rights  contained  in the  preceding  sentence,  holders of all series of Series
Preferred  Stock  which are granted  such  voting  rights (of which the Series A
Preferred  Stock  is the  initial  series)  shall  vote  as a class  (except  as
specifically  provided  otherwise)  and each holder of Series A Preferred  Stock
shall have one vote for each share of stock  held and each  other  series  shall
have such  number  of  votes,  if any,  for each  share of stock  held as may be
granted to them.

          The foregoing voting  provisions will not apply if, in connection with
the matters specified, provision is made for the redemption or retirement of all
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

          5.  Liquidation:  Subject to the  provisions  of  section  (b) of this
Article III, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation,
whether  voluntary or  involuntary,  the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
shall have  preference and priority over the Common Stock for payment out of the
assets of the corporation or proceeds thereof,  whether from capital or surplus,
of $1,000,000 per share (the  "liquidation  value")  together with the amount of
all dividends accrued and unpaid thereon,  and after such payment the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to no other payments.

          6.  Redemption:  Subject  to the  provisions  of  section  (b) of this
Article  III,  Series A Preferred  Stock may be  redeemed,  at the option of the
corporation  in whole or part,  at any time or from time to time at a redemption
price of $1,000,000 per share, in each case plus accrued and unpaid dividends to
the date of redemption.

          At the option of the  corporation,  shares of Series A Preferred Stock
redeemed or otherwise  acquired may be restored to the status of authorized  but
unissued shares of Series Preferred Stock.

          In the case of any redemption,  the  corporation  shall give notice of
such redemption to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed in
the following manner: a notice specifying the shares to be redeemed and the time
and place of redemption (and, if less than the total  outstanding  shares are to
be  redeemed,  specifying  the  certificate  numbers  and number of shares to be
redeemed)  shall be mailed by first  class  mail,  addressed  to the  holders of
record  of the  Series A  Preferred  Stock to be  redeemed  at their  respective
addresses as the same shall appear upon the books of the  corporation,  not more
than sixty (60) days and not less than  thirty  (30) days  previous  to the date
fixed for  redemption.  In the event such notice is not given to any shareholder
such  failure  to give  notice  shall  not  affect  the  notice  given  to other
shareholders.  If less than the whole amount of  outstanding  Series A Preferred
Stock is to be redeemed,  the shares to be redeemed  shall be selected by lot or
pro rata in any manner  determined by resolution of the Board of Directors to be
fair and proper. From and after the date fixed in any such notice as the date of
redemption  (unless default shall be made by the corporation in providing moneys
at the time and place of redemption for the payment of the redemption price) all
dividends upon the Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall cease
to accrue,  and all rights of the holders of said  Series A  Preferred  Stock as
stockholders  in the  corporation,  except the right to receive  the  redemption
price  (without  interest) upon surrender of the  certificate  representing  the
Series A Preferred Stock so called for  redemption,  duly endorsed for transfer,
if required,  shall cease and terminate. The corporation's obligation to provide
moneys in accordance with the preceding  sentence shall be deemed  fulfilled if,
on or before the redemption  date, the corporation  shall deposit with a bank or
trust company (which may be an affiliate of the corporation) having an office in
the Borough of Manhattan,  City of New York,  having a capital and surplus of at
least $5,000,000 funds necessary for such redemption,  in trust with irrevocable
instructions  that such  funds be  applied  to the  redemption  of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption.  Any interest accrued on such
funds shall be paid to the corporation from time to time. Any funds so deposited
and  unclaimed  at the end of two (2) years from such  redemption  date shall be
released or repaid to the corporation, after which the holders of such shares of
Series A  Preferred  Stock so  called  for  redemption  shall  look  only to the
corporation for payment of the redemption price.

authority of the Board of Directors.

A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, but the Committee may act
only by the concurrent vote of not less than one-third of its members, at least
one of whom must be a director other than an officer. Any one or more directors,
even though not members of the Executive Committee, may attend any meeting of
the Committee, and the member or members of the Committee present, even though
less than a quorum, may designate any one or more of such directors as a
substitute or substitutes for any absent member or members of the Committee, and

Company, to make studies of the Company's assets and liabilities as the

methods of the Company and its system of internal protective controls to the
extent considered necessary or advisable in order to determine that the
operations of the Company, including its fiduciary departments, are being
audited by the General Auditor in such a manner as to provide prudent and
adequate protection. The Committee also may direct the General Auditor to make
such investigation as it deems necessary or advisable with respect to the
Company, its various departments and the conduct of its operations. The
Committee shall hold regular quarterly meetings and during the intervals thereof
shall meet at other times on call of the Chairman.

Committees as may seem necessary, and from time to time to suspend or continue
the powers and duties of such Committees. Each Committee appointed pursuant to
this Article shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.

supervision and direction of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee,

                                    ARTICLE V

                INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS

SECTION 1. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 7018 of
the New York Banking Law, indemnify any person who is or was made, or threatened
to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether civil or criminal,
whether involving any actual or alleged breach of duty, neglect or error, any
accountability, or any actual or alleged misstatement, misleading statement or
other act or omission and whether brought or threatened in any court or
administrative or legislative body or agency, including an action by or in the
right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor and an action by or in
the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or
any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise, which any director or officer of the Company is servicing or served
in any capacity at the request of the Company by reason of the fact that he, his
testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is
serving or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments,
fines, amounts paid in settlement, and costs, charges and expenses, including
attorneys' fees, or any appeal therein; provided, however, that no
indemnification shall be provided to any such person if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his
acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

SECTION 2. The Company may indemnify any other person to whom the Company is
permitted to provide indemnification or the advancement of expenses by
applicable law, whether pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or provided by,
the New York Banking Law or other rights created by (i) a resolution of
stockholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an agreement providing
for such indemnification, it being expressly intended that these By-Laws
authorize the creation of other rights in any such manner.

SECTION 3. The Company shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any
person referred to in Section 1 the funds necessary for payment of expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any action or proceeding
referred to in Section 1, upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf
of such person to repay such amount(s) if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his acts were committed
in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and, in
either case, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) he
personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was
not legally entitled.

SECTION 4. Any director or officer of the Company serving (i) another
corporation, of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election
of its directors is held by the Company, or (ii) any employee benefit plan of
the Company or any corporation referred to in clause (i) in any capacity shall
be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Company. In all other cases, the
provisions of this Article V will apply (i) only if the person serving another
corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise so served at the specific request of the Company, evidenced by
a written communication signed by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive
Officer, the President or any Co-President, and (ii) only if and to the extent
that, after making such efforts as the Chairman of the Board, the Chief
Executive Officer, the President or any Co-President shall deem adequate in the
circumstances, such person shall be unable to obtain indemnification from such
other enterprise or its insurer.

SECTION 5. Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article V may
elect to have the right to indemnification (or advancement of expenses)
interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of
occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the action or proceeding, to
the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at
the time indemnification is sought.

SECTION 6. The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or advancement of
expense pursuant to this Article V (i) is a contract right pursuant to which the
person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the provisions hereof were set
forth in a separate written contract between the Company and the director or
officer, (ii) is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect
to events occurring prior to the adoption hereof, and (iii) shall continue to
exist after the rescission or restrictive modification hereof with respect to
events occurring prior thereto.

SECTION 7. If a request to be indemnified or for the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the Company
within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the
claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover
the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the
claimant shall be entitled also to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such
claim. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the
circumstance, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant is
not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or advancement of
expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant is not so entitled.

SECTION 8. A person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character described
in Section 1 shall be entitled to indemnification only as provided in Sections 1
and 3, notwithstanding any provision of the New York Banking Law to the
contrary.

certificates of stock and other documents in accordance with the directions of
the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee.

SECTION 2. The Board of Directors may provide, in proper cases on a specified
occasion and for a specified transaction or transactions, for the use of a
printed or engraved facsimile seal of the Company.


                                   ARTICLE VII

of the Company by the registered holder in person, or by power of attorney, duly
executed, witnessed and filed with the Secretary or other proper officer of the
Company, on the surrender of the certificate or certificates of such shares
properly assigned for transfer.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

deemed to include the feminine gender.
