                                             MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS


SECTION 1. The annual meeting of the  stockholders of this Company shall be held






at the office of the Company in the Borough of  Manhattan,  City of New York, on
the third  Tuesday in January of each year,  for the election of  directors  and
such other business as may properly come before said meeting.

SECTION 2.  Special  meetings  of  stockholders  other than those  regulated  by
statute  may be called at any time by a majority of the  directors.  It shall be
the duty of the  Chairman  of the  Board,  the Chief  Executive  Officer  or the
President  to call such  meetings  whenever  requested  in  writing  to do so by
stockholders owning a majority of the capital stock.

SECTION 3. At all meetings of  stockholders,  there shall be present,  either in
person or by proxy,  stockholders  owning a majority of the capital stock of the
Company,  in order to  constitute  a quorum,  except  at  special  elections  of
directors,  as  provided  by law,  but less than a quorum  shall  have  power to
adjourn any meeting.

SECTION 4. The  Chairman of the Board or, in his  absence,  the Chief  Executive
Officer or, in his  absence,  the  President  or, in their  absence,  the senior
officer present,  shall preside at meetings of the stockholders and shall direct
the proceedings and the order of business.  The Secretary shall act as secretary
of such meetings and record the proceedings.


                                                    ARTICLE II

                                                     DIRECTORS


SECTION 1. The affairs of the Company shall be managed and its corporate  powers
exercised by a Board of Directors  consisting of such number of  directors,  but
not less than ten nor more than  twenty-five,  as may from time to time be fixed
by resolution  adopted by a majority of the directors then in office,  or by the
stockholders.  In  the  event  of  any  increase  in the  number  of  directors,
additional  directors may be elected within the limitations so fixed,  either by
the  stockholders  or within the  limitations  imposed by law,  by a majority of
directors  then in office.  One-third of the number of directors,  as fixed from
time to time, shall constitute a quorum. Any one or more members of the Board of
Directors or any Committee  thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board of
Directors  or Committee  thereof by means of a  conference  telephone or similar
communications  equipment which allows all persons  participating in the meeting
to  hear  each  other  at the  same  time.  Participation  by such  means  shall
constitute presence in person at such a meeting.

All directors  hereafter elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting
of the  stockholders  and until their successors are elected and have qualified.
No person  who shall have  attained  age 72 shall be  eligible  to be elected or
re-elected a director.  Such  director  may,  however,  remain a director of the
Company until the next annual meeting of the  stockholders  of Bankers Trust New
York Corporation (the Company's parent) so that such director's  retirement will
coincide with the retirement date from Bankers Trust New York Corporation.

No Officer-Director  who shall have attained age 65, or earlier relinquishes his
responsibilities and title, shall be eligible to serve as a director.

SECTION 2. Vacancies not exceeding one-third of the whole number of the Board of
Directors may be filled by the  affirmative  vote of a majority of the directors
then in office,  and the  directors so elected shall hold office for the balance
of the unexpired term.

SECTION 3. The  Chairman of the Board shall  preside at meetings of the Board of
Directors.  In his absence, the Chief Executive Officer or, in his absence, such

                                                    ARTICLE III

                                                    COMMITTEES


SECTION 1. There shall be an Executive  Committee of the Board consisting of not
less  than  five  directors  who  shall be  appointed  annually  by the Board of
Directors.  The Chairman of the Board shall preside at meetings of the Executive
Committee.  In his absence, the Chief Executive Officer or, in his absence, such
other member of the Committee as the  Committee  from time to time may designate
shall preside at such meetings.

The Executive  Committee  shall possess and exercise to the extent  permitted by
law all of the powers of the Board of  Directors,  except  when the latter is in
session, and shall keep minutes of its proceedings,  which shall be presented to
the Board of Directors at its next subsequent meeting.  All acts done and powers
and authority  conferred by the Executive  Committee  from time to time shall be
and be  deemed  to be,  and may be  certified  as  being,  the act and under the
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
each such substitute or substitutes shall be counted for quorum, voting, and all
other purposes as a member or members of the Committee.

SECTION 2. There shall be an Audit  Committee  appointed  annually by resolution
adopted by a majority of the entire  Board of Directors  which shall  consist of
such number of directors,  who are not also officers of the Company, as may from
time to time be fixed by  resolution  adopted  by the  Board of  Directors.  The
Chairman shall be designated by the Board of Directors, who shall also from time
to time fix a quorum for meetings of the Committee. Such Committee shall conduct
the annual  directors'  examinations  of the Company as required by the New York
State Banking Law; shall review the reports of all examinations made of the






Company by public authorities and report thereon to the Board of Directors;  and
shall report to the Board of Directors such other matters as it deems  advisable
with  respect to the  Company,  its various  departments  and the conduct of its
operations.

In the performance of its duties, the Audit Committee may employ or retain, from
time to time, expert assistants, independent of the officers or personnel of the
Company,  to  make  studies  of the  Company's  assets  and  liabilities  as the
Committee may request and to make an  examination of the accounting and auditing
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.

SECTION 3. The Board of  Directors  shall  have the power to  appoint  any other
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.

                                                    ARTICLE IV

function and the evaluation of the adequacy of the system of internal  controls.
Subject  to the Board of  Directors,  the  General  Auditor  shall  have and may
exercise  all the powers and shall  perform all the duties  usual to such office
and shall have such other  powers as may be  prescribed  or assigned to him from
time to time by the  Board  of  Directors  or  vested  in him by law or by these
By-Laws. He shall perform such other duties and shall make such  investigations,
examinations  and  reports  as may  be  prescribed  or  required  by  the  Audit
Committee. The General Auditor shall have unrestricted access to all records and
premises of the Company and shall delegate such  authority to his  subordinates.
He  shall  have  the  duty to  report  to the  Audit  Committee  on all  matters
concerning the internal audit program and the adequacy of the system of internal
controls of the Company  which he deems  advisable or which the Audit  Committee
may request.  Additionally, the General Auditor shall have the duty of reporting
independently  of all  officers of the Company to the Audit  Committee  at least

of the system of internal  controls of the Company that should be brought to the
attention of the  directors  except those matters  responsibility  for which has

                                    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 or the President,  and (ii) only if and to the extent that, after making
such efforts as the Chairman of the Board,  the Chief  Executive  Officer or the
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.


                                                    ARTICLE VI

                                                       SEAL


SECTION 1. The Board of  Directors  shall  provide a seal for the  Company,  the
counterpart dies of which shall be in the charge of the Secretary of the Company
and such officers as the Chairman of the Board,  the Chief Executive  Officer or
the  Secretary  may from  time to time  direct  in  writing,  to be  affixed  to
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

                                                   CAPITAL STOCK


SECTION 1.  Registration of transfer of shares shall only be made upon the books
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

                                                   CONSTRUCTION


SECTION 1. The  masculine  gender,  when  appearing in these  By-Laws,  shall be






deemed to include the feminine gender.


                                                    ARTICLE IX

                                                    AMENDMENTS


SECTION 1. These  By-Laws  may be  altered,  amended or added to by the Board of
Directors  at any  meeting,  or by the  stockholders  at any  annual or  special
meeting, provided notice thereof has been given.
