hereby specifically state as follows, to wit:

for the election of directors and for all other purposes, each holder of the
Common Stock being entitled to one vote for each share thereof held.

         3. Liquidation: Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after the holders of the
Series Preferred Stock of each series shall have been paid in full the amounts
to which they respectively shall be entitled, or a sum sufficient for the
payment in full set aside, the remaining net assets of the corporation shall be
distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock in accordance with their
respective rights and interests, to the exclusion of the holders of the Series
Preferred Stock.

         4. Preemptive Rights: No holder of Common Stock of the corporation
shall be entitled, as such, as a matter of 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 or other distribution.

         (b) Series Preferred Stock

         1. Board Authority: The Series Preferred Stock may be issued from time
to time by the Board of Directors as herein provided in one or more series. The
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.
