than five nor more than twenty-five persons, the exact number to be fixed and
determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full Board of
Directors or by resolution of the shareholders at any annual or special meeting
thereof. Each Director, during the full term of his directorship, shall own a
minimum of (a) $1,000 par value of stock of this Association or (b) preferred or
common stock of First Fidelity Bancorporation having (i) aggregate par value
equal to or greater than $1,000, (ii) aggregate shareholders' equity equal to or
greater than $1,000 or (iii) aggregate fair market value equal to or greater
than $1,000. Any vacancy in the Board of Directors may be filled by action of
the Board of Directors.
FOURTH. There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders the purpose of
which shall be the election of Directors and the transaction of whatever other
business may be brought before said meeting. It shall be held at the main office
or other convenient place as the Board of Directors may designate, on the day of
each year specified therefor in the By-laws, but if no election is held on that
day, it may be held on any subsequent day according to such lawful rules as may
be presented by the
20
21
Board of Directors.
FIFTH. (A) General. The amount of capital stock of this Association shall
be (i) 25,000,000 shares of common stock of the par value of twenty dollars
($20.00) each (the "Common Stock") and (ii) 160,540 shares of preferred stock of
the par value of one dollar ($1.00) each (the "Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock"),
having the rights, privileges and preferences set forth below, but said capital
stock may be increased or decreased from time to time in accordance with the
provisions of the laws of the United States.
(B) Terms of the Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock.
1. General. Each share of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be identical
in all respects with the other shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock. The
authorized number of shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock may from time to
time be increased or decreased (but not below the number then outstanding) by
the Board of Directors. Shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock redeemed by the
Association shall be canceled and shall revert to authorized but unissued shares
of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock.
2. Dividends.
(a) General. The holders of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, but
only out of funds legally available therefor, non-cumulative cash dividends at
the annual rate of $83.75 per share, and no more, payable quarterly on the first
days of December, March, June and September, respectively, in each year with
respect to the quarterly dividend period (or portion thereof) ending on the day
preceding such respective dividend payment date, to shareholders of record on
the respective date, not exceeding fifty days preceding such dividend payment
date, fixed for that purpose by the Board of Directors in advance of payment of
each particular
21
22
dividend. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash dividend to be paid on the
first dividend payment date after the initial issuance of Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock and on any dividend payment date with respect to a partial
dividend period shall be $83.75 per share multiplied by the fraction produced by
dividing the number of days since such initial issuance or in such partial
dividend period, as the case may be, by 360.
(b) Non-cumulative Dividends. Dividends on the shares of Non-Cumulative
Stock shall not be cumulative and no rights shall accrue to the holders of
shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock by reason of the fact that the
Association may fail to declare or pay dividends on the shares of Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock in any amount in any quarterly dividend period, whether or not
the earnings of the Association in any quarterly dividend period were sufficient
to pay such dividends in whole or in part, and the Association shall have no
obligation at any time to pay any such dividend.
(c) Payment of Dividends. So long as any share of Non-Cumulative Preferred
Stock remains outstanding, no dividend whatsoever shall be paid or declared and
no distribution made on any junior stock other than a dividend payable in junior
stock, and no shares of junior stock shall be purchased, redeemed or otherwise
acquired for consideration by the Association, directly or indirectly (other
than as a result of a reclassification of junior stock, or the exchange or
conversion of one junior stock for or into another junior stock, or other than
through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other
junior stock), unless all dividends on all shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred
Stock and non-cumulative Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as to dividends
with the shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock for the most recent dividend
period ended prior to the date of such payment or declaration shall have been
paid in full and all dividends on all shares of cumulative Preferred Stock
ranking on a parity as to dividends with the
22
23
shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock for the most recent dividend period
ended prior to the date of such payment or declaration shall have been paid in
full and all dividends on all shares of Non-Cumulative Stock (not withstanding
that dividends on such stock are cumulative) for all past dividend periods shall
have been paid in full. Subject, to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such
dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the
Board of Directors may be declared and paid on any junior stock from time to
time out of any funds legally available therefor, and the Non-Cumulative Stock
shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividends, whether payable in
cash, stock or otherwise. No dividends shall be paid or declared upon any shares
of any class or series of stock of the Association ranking on a parity (whether
dividends on such stock are cumulative or non-cumulative) with the
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends for any period unless
at or prior to the time of such payment or declaration all dividends payable on
the Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock for the most recent dividend period ended
prior to the date of such payment or declaration shall have been paid in full.
When dividends are not paid in full, as aforesaid, upon the Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity as
to dividends (whether dividends on such stock are cumulative or non-cumulative)
with the Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock ranking
on a parity as to dividends with the Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be
declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on the
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock and such other Preferred Stock shall in all cases
bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Non-
Cumulative Preferred Stock (but without any accumulation in respect of any
unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods on the shares of Non-Cumulative
Stock) and such other Preferred Stock bear to
23
24
each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable
in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Non-Cumulative Preferred
Stock which may be in arrears.
3. Voting. The holders of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock shall not have any
right to vote for the election of directors or for any other purpose.
4. Redemption.
(a) Optional Redemption. The Association, at the option of the Board of
Directors, may redeem the whole or any part of the shares of Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, at any time or from time to time after
the fifth anniversary of the date of original issuance of the Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock, upon notice given as hereinafter specified, at the redemption
price per share equal to $1,000 plus an amount equal to the amount of accrued
and unpaid dividends from the immediately preceding dividend payment date (but
without any accumulation for unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods on the
shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock) to the redemption date.
(b) Procedures. Notice of every redemption of shares of Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last
addresses as they shall appear on the books of the Association. Such mailing
shall be at least 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the shareholder
receives such notice, and failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any
defect in such notice, to any holder of shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock
designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock.
24
25
In case of redemption of a part only of the shares of Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding the redemption may be either pro rata or
by lot or by such other means as the Board of Directors of the Association in
its discretion shall determine. The Board of Directors shall have full power and
authority, subject to the provisions herein contained, to prescribe the terms
and conditions upon which shares of the Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be
redeemed from time to time.
If notice of redemption shall have been duly given, and, if on or before
the redemption date specified therein, all funds necessary for such redemption
shall have been set aside by the Association, separate and apart from its other
funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for
redemption, so as to be and continue to be available therefor, then,
notwithstanding that any certificate for shares so called for redemption shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, all shares so called for redemption
shall no longer be deemed outstanding on and after such redemption date, and all
rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease
and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the
amount payable on redemption thereof, without interest.
If such notice of redemption shall have been duly given or if the
Association shall have given to the bank or trust company hereinafter referred
to irrevocable authorization promptly to give such notice, and, if on or before
the redemption date specified therein, the funds necessary for such redemption
shall have been deposited by the Association with such bank or trust company in
trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for
redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for shares so called for
redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, from and after the
time of such deposit, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be
deemed to be
25
26
outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith cease and
terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive from such
bank or trust company at any time after the time of such deposit the funds so
deposited, without interest. The aforesaid bank or trust company shall be
organized and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America or
any state thereof, shall have capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating
at least $50,000,000 according to its last published statement of condition, and
shall be identified in the notice of redemption. Any interest accrued on such
funds shall be paid to the Association from time to time. In case fewer than all
the shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock represented by a stock certificate
are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed
shares without cost to the holder thereof.
Any funds so set aside or deposited, as the case may be, and unclaimed at
the end of the relevant escheat period under applicable state law from such
redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released or repaid to
the Association, after which repayment the holders of the shares so called for
redemption shall look only to the Association for payment thereof.
5. Liquidation.
(a) Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Association, the holders of
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled, before any distribution or
payment is made to the holders of any junior stock, to be paid in full an amount
per share equal to an amount equal to $1,000 plus an amount equal to the amount
of accrued and unpaid dividends per share from the immediately preceding
dividend payment date (but without any accumulation for unpaid dividends for
prior dividend periods on the shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock) per
share to such distribution or payment date (the "liquidation amount").
26
27
In the event of any involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the affairs of the Association, then, before any distribution or payment shall
be made to the holders of any junior stock, the holders of Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in full an amount per share equal
to the liquidation amount.
If such payment shall have been made in full to all holders of shares of
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Association shall be
distributed among the holders of junior stock, according to their respective
rights and preferences and in each case according to their respective numbers of
shares.
(b) Insufficient Assets. In the event that, upon any such voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the available assets of the
Association are insufficient to pay such liquidation amount on all outstanding
shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, then the holders of Non-Cumulative
Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion
to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
(c) Interpretation. For the purposes of this paragraph 5, the consolidation
or merger of the Association with any other corporation or association shall not
be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Association.
6. Preemptive Rights. The Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock is not entitled to
any preemptive, subscription, conversion or exchange rights in respect of any
securities of the Association.
7. Definitions. As used herein with respect to the Non-Cumulative Preferred
Stock, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(a) The term "junior stock" shall mean the Common Stock and any other class
or series of shares of the Association hereafter authorized over which the
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock has preference or priority in the
27
28
payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Association.
(b) The term "accrued dividends", with respect to any share of any class or
series, shall mean an amount computed at the annual dividend rate for the class
or series of which the particular share is a part, from, if such share is
cumulative, the date on which dividends on such share became cumulative to and
including the date to which such dividends are to be accrued, less the aggregate
amount of all dividends theretofore paid thereon and, if such share is
non-cumulative, the relevant date designated to and including the date to which
such dividends are accrued, less the aggregate amount of all dividends
theretofore paid with respect to such period.
(c) The term "Preferred Stock" shall mean all outstanding shares of all
series of preferred stock of the Association as defined in this Article Fifth of
the Articles of Association, as amended, of the Association.
8. Restriction on Transfer. No shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, or
any interest therein, may be sold, pledged, transferred or otherwise disposed of
without the prior written consent of the Association. The foregoing restriction
shall be stated on any certificate for any shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred
Stock.
9. Additional Rights. The shares of Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock shall
not have any relative, participating, optional or other special rights and
powers other than as set forth herein.
SIXTH. The Board of Directors shall appoint one of its members President of
this Association, who shall be Chairperson of the Board, unless the Board
appoints another director to be the Chairperson. The Board of Directors shall

29
be required to transact the business of this Association.

Association shall be made; to manage and administer the business and affairs of
the Association; to make all By-laws that it may be lawful for them to make; and
generally to do and perform all acts that it may be legal for a Board of
Directors to do and perform.
SEVENTH. The Board of Directors shall have the power to change the location
of the main office to any other place permitted by law, but subject to the
approval of the Comptroller of the Currency; and shall have the power to
establish or change the location of any branch or branches of the Association to
any other location, without the approval of the shareholders, but subject to the
approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.
EIGHTH. The corporate existence of this Association shall continue until
terminated in accordance with the laws of the United States.

shareholders owning, in the aggregate, not less than 25 percent of the stock of
this Association, may call a special meeting of shareholders at any time. Unless
otherwise provided by the laws of the United States, a notice of the time,
place, and purpose of every annual and special meeting of the shareholders shall
be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at least ten days prior to
the date of such meeting, to each shareholder of record at his address as shown
upon the books of this Association.
TENTH. (A) Indemnification of Directors.
The Association shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable

(B) Indemnification of Officers, Employees and Agents.
The Association shall indemnify any person who is or was an officer,
employee or agent of the Association or who is or was a director, general
partner, trustee or principal of another entity serving as such at the request
