          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

          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
extend 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 by payable on such shares if all
dividends were paid in full, provided, however, that nay 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
firs 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 rare 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 commending 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% of 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 resect 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 or 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
addressees 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 b 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 e 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.

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

statute  may be called at any time by a majority of the  directors.  It shall be

bound by, such Rules and Regulations.

SECTION 5. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held from time to

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

each such substitute or substitutes shall be counted for quorum, voting, and all

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

SECTION 1. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 7018 of

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
