                                     ARTICLE I
                                  STOCKHOLDERS
 
        1.  ANNUAL MEETING. The Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the election
    of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly
    come before the meeting shall be held on the third Friday in May, at such
    time and place either within or without the State of New York as may be
    specified by the Board of Directors.
 
        2.  SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders, to be held
    at such place either within or without the State of New York and for the
    purpose or purposes as may be specified in the notices of such meetings, may
    be called by the Chairman of the Board or the President and shall be called
    by the President or the Secretary at the request of a majority of the Board
    of Directors or of stockholders owning 25 per cent or more of the shares or
    stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on any
    action proposed by such stockholders for such meetings. Such request shall
    be in writing and shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed
    meeting.
 
        3.  NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Notice of the time, place and purpose or
    purposes of every meeting of stockholders shall be in writing, signed by the
    President or the Secretary, and shall be mailed by the Secretary, or the
    person designated by him to perform this duty, at least ten, and not more
    than fifty, days before the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled
    to vote at such meeting and to each stockholder of record who would be
    entitled to have his stock appraised if the action proposed at such meeting
    were taken. Such notice shall be directed to a stockholder at his address as
    it appears on the stock book, unless he shall have filed with the Secretary
    a written request that notices intended for him be mailed to some other
    address, in which case it will be mailed to the address designated in such
    request.
 
        4.  QUORUM. The holders of record of a majority of the shares of stock
    issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by
    proxy, shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum at each meeting of
    stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided
    by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-laws; provided
    that, when any specified action is required to be voted upon by a class of
    stock voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the shares of such
    class shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
    of such specified action. If, however, there shall be no quorum, the officer
    of the Company presiding as chairman of the meeting shall have the power to
    adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than
    announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present, when any
    business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting
    as first convened had there been a quorum.
 
        5.  VOTING. Each stockholder entitled to vote on any action proposed at
    a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote in person or by
    proxy for each share of voting stock held of record by him. Every proxy must
    be executed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized
    attorney. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from
    the date of its execution, unless the person executing it shall have
    specified therein its duration.
 
    The vote for directors shall be by ballot, and the election of each director
    shall be decided by a plurality vote. Except as otherwise provided by law,
    by the Certificate of Incorporation, by other certificate filed pursuant to
    law or by these By-laws, votes on any other matters coming before any
    meeting of stockholders shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a
    majority of the shares represented at such meeting, in person or by proxy,
    and entitled to vote on the specific matter. Except as required by law, by
    the Certificate of Incorporation, by other certificate filed pursuant to law
    or by
 
                                       1

    these By-laws, the chairman presiding at any meeting of stockholders may
    rule on questions of order or procedure coming before the meeting or submit
    such questions to the vote of the meeting, which vote may at his direction
    be by ballot. The chairman shall submit any such questions to the vote of
    the meeting at the request of any stockholder entitled to vote present in
    person or by proxy at the meeting, which vote shall be by ballot.
 
                                   ARTICLE II
 
                  CLOSING TRANSFER BOOKS; SETTING RECORD DATE
 
        1.  QUALIFICATION OF VOTERS. The Board of Directors may prescribe a
    period, not exceeding fifty days prior to the date of any meeting of the
    stockholders or prior to the last day on which the consent or dissent of
    stockholders may be effectively expressed for any purpose without a meeting,
    as the time as of which stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at
    such a meeting or whose consent or dissent is required or may be expressed
    for any purpose, as the case may be, shall be determined, and all persons
    who were holders of record of voting stock at such time and no others shall
    be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting or to express their
    consent or dissent, as the case may be.
 
        2.  DETERMINATION OF STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD FOR OTHER PURPOSES.The Board
    of Directors may fix a time, not exceeding forty days preceding the date
    fixed for the payment of any dividend or for the making of any distribution
    or for the delivery of evidences of rights or evidences of interests arising
    out of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, as a record time
    for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive any such
    dividend, distribution, rights or interests, and in such case only
    stockholders of record at the time so fixed shall be entitled to receive
    such dividend, distribution, rights or interests.
 
                                  ARTICLE III
 
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
        1.  NUMBER, CLASSIFICATION, ELECTION AND QUALIFICATIONS.The affairs of
    the Company shall be managed by a Board of Directors consisting of fifteen
    members. For the purpose of election of directors only, and not for any
    other purpose, the fifteen directors shall be divided into two classes, the
    five directors whom the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to
    elect, to be designated the Class A directors, and the ten directors whom
    the Class B Common Stock are entitled to elect, to be designated the Class B
    directors. The directors shall, except as provided in Section 2 of this
    Article III, be elected by the classes of shares entitled to elect them, by
    ballot at each annual meeting of stockholders, and shall hold office until
    the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors shall be
    elected and qualified. All directors must be of full age and at least one
    shall be a citizen of the United States and a resident of New York State.
 
        2.  VACANCIES. Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, whether caused by
    resignation, death, increase in the number of directors, disqualification or
    otherwise, may be filled by a majority of the directors in office after the
    vacancy has occurred, although less than a quorum. A director so elected
    shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy
    occurred.
 
        3.  REGULAR MEETINGS. A regular meeting of the Board shall be held in
    each year immediately following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders or if
    such meeting be adjourned, the final adjournment thereof at the same place
    as such meeting of stockholders. No notice of such meeting shall be
    necessary to the newly elected directors in order to legally constitute the
    meeting. Other regular meetings of the Board may be held at such time and
    place, either within or without the State of New York, as shall from time to
    time be determined by a resolution of the Board. Any business may be
    transacted at any regular meeting at which a quorum is present. The time and
    place of any such
 
                                       2

    regular meeting may be changed (i) at the preceding regular meeting; or (ii)
    subsequent to the adjournment of the preceding regular meeting by consent in
    writing signed by a majority of the whole Board; provided, however, that in
    either case notice of such change be served on each director personally or
    by telegram two days or by mail five days prior to the date originally
    designated for such regular meeting.
 
        4.  SPECIAL MEETINGS. A special meeting of the Board of Directors may be
    held at the time fixed by resolution of the Board or upon call of the
    Chairman of the Board, the President or any two directors and may be held at
    any place within or without the State of New York. Except as otherwise
    provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation, by other certificate
    filed pursuant to law or by these By-laws, notice of the time and place of
    any special meeting of the Board shall be given by the Secretary or other
    person designated by him to perform this duty by serving the same personally
    or by telegram on each director at his post office address as the same shall
    appear on the books of the Company at least two days previous to such
    meeting or by mailing a copy of such notice, postage prepaid, to each
    director at such address at least five days previous to such meeting;
    provided, however, that no notice need be given to any director if waived by
    him either before or after the meeting or if he shall be present at such
    meeting, and any meeting of the Board may be held at any time without notice
    if all the directors then in office shall be present thereat.
 
    Any such notice shall also state the items of business which are expected to
    come before the meeting, and the items of business transacted at any special
    meeting of the Board shall be limited to those stated in such notice, unless
    all the directors are present at the meeting, or all those absent consent in
    writing either before or after the meeting, to the transaction of an item or
    items of business not stated in such notice.
 
        5.  QUORUM. At all meetings of the Board, the presence of any five of
    the directors in office shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a
    quorum for the transaction of business, and, except as otherwise required by
    law, by the Certificate of Incorporation, by other certificate filed
    pursuant to law or by these By-laws, the affirmative vote of a majority of
    the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be
    necessary for the adoption of any business or resolution which may come
    before the meeting; provided, however, that in the absence of a quorum a
    majority of the directors present or any director solely present may adjourn
    any meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. No notice of any
    adjournment to a later hour on the date originally designated for the
    holding of a meeting need be given, but immediate telegraphic notice shall
    be given by the Secretary or other person designated by him to perform this
    duty to all directors of any adjournment to any subsequent date, and such
    notice shall be deemed sufficient, though less than the notice required by
    Section 3 if such meeting be an adjourned regular meeting of the Board, or
    by Section 4 if such meeting be an adjourned special meeting of the Board.
 
        6.  COMMITTEES. The Board of Directors may by resolution or resolutions
    passed by a majority of the whole Board designate one or more committees,
    each committee to consist of three or more of the directors, which, to the
    extent provided in said resolution or resolutions, shall have and may
    exercise powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business
    and affairs of the Company and may have power to authorize the seal of the
    Company to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Such committee or

        1.  APPOINTMENT. The Board of Directors may appoint from their number a
    Chairman of the Board and a Vice Chairman of the Board. The Board of
    Directors shall appoint a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer and may
    also appoint one or more Vice Presidents, none of whom need be members of
    the Board, and may from time to time appoint such other officers as they may
    deem proper. Any two of the aforesaid offices, except those of President and
    Vice President, or President and Secretary, may be filled by the same
    person. The compensation of all officers of the Company shall be fixed by
    the Board.

    meetings of the stockholders.

    the Company and as such shall have the general control and management of the
    business and affairs of the Company subject, however, to the control of the
    Chairman of the Board. The President shall have the power, subject to the
    control of the Chairman of the Board, to appoint or discharge and to
    prescribe the duties and to fix the compensation of such agents and
    employees of the Company as he may deem necessary. He shall have, as does
    the Chairman of the Board, the authority to make and sign bonds, mortgages
    and other contracts and agreements in the name and on behalf of the Company,
    except when the Board of Directors by resolution instructs the same to be
    done by some other officer or agent. He shall see that all orders and
    resolutions of the Board of Directors are carried into effect and shall
    perform all other duties necessary to his office or properly required of him
    by the Board of Directors subject, however, to the right of the directors to
    delegate any specific powers, except such as may by statute be exclusively
    conferred upon the President, to any other officer or officers of the
    Company. In the
 
                                       4

    absence or inability to act of the Chairman of the Board, the President
    shall have the duties prescribed for the Chairman of the Board subject,
    however, to Section 4 of this Article IV.
 
        6.  VICE PRESIDENTS. Each Vice President shall have such powers and
    perform such duties as may be assigned to him from time to time by the

    given, notice of all meetings of the stockholders and meetings of the Board
    of Directors, and shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by
    the Board of Directors or the President. He shall keep in safe custody the
    seal of the Company and shall see that it is affixed to all documents, the
    execution of which, on behalf of the Company, under its seal, is necessary
    or proper, and when so affixed may attest the same.
 
        8.  THE TREASURER. The Treasurer shall, if required by the Board of
    Directors, give a bond for the faithful discharge of his duties in such
    amount and with such surety or sureties as the Board of Directors may
    determine; the cost of any such bond, and any expenses incurred in
    connection therewith, shall be borne by the Company. He shall have the
    custody of the corporate funds and securities, except as otherwise provided
    by the Board, and shall cause to be kept full and accurate accounts of
    receipts and disbursements in books belonging to the Company and shall
    deposit all moneys and other valuable effects in the name and to the credit
    of the Company in such depositories as may be designated by the Board of
    Directors. He shall disburse the funds of the Company as may be ordered by
    the Board, taking proper vouchers for such disbursements, and shall render
    to the President and the directors, at the regular meetings of the Board, or
    whenever they may require it, an account of all his transactions as
    Treasurer and of the financial condition of the Company.
 
        9.  DUTIES OF OFFICERS MAY BE DELEGATED. In the case of the absence of
    any officer, or for any other reason that the Board may deem sufficient, the
    President or the Board may delegate for the time being the powers or duties
    of such officer to any other officer or to any director.

    certificate which has been lost, stolen or destroyed, in which case the
    resolutions of the Board then in effect respecting lost, stolen or destroyed
    stock certificates shall be complied with, such transfer shall only be made
    upon surrender to the Company of a certificate for shares for cancellation
    duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or
    authority to transfer. Upon the issue of a new certificate to the person
 
                                       5

    entitled thereto, the Company shall cancel the old certificate and record

        1.  DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The Company shall, to the fullest extent
    permitted by applicable law as the same exists or may hereafter be in
    effect, indemnify any person who is or was made or threatened to be made a

    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 any other entity, which any director or
    officer of the Company is serving, has served or has agreed to serve in any
    capacity at the request of the Company, by reason of the fact that such
    person or such person's testator or intestate is or was or has agreed to
    become a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving or has
    agreed to serve such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
    employee benefit plan or other entity in any capacity, against judgments,
    fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, taxes or penalties, and
    costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in
    connection with such action or proceeding 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 or her 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 or she personally
    gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was
    not legally entitled.

    the right to indemnification and advancement of expenses to which any person
    would be entitled by law in the absence of this Article, or shall be deemed
    exclusive of any other rights to which such person seeking indemnification
    or advancement of expenses may have or hereafter may be entitled under law,
    any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, or By-laws, any agreement
    approved by the Board of Directors, or a resolution of stockholders or
    directors; and the adoption of any such resolution or entering into of any
    such agreement approved by the Board of Directors is hereby authorized.

    expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article XI shall (i)
    apply with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the adoption of
    this Article XI to the fullest extent permitted by law and (ii) survive the
    full or partial repeal or restrictive amendment hereof with respect to
    events occurring prior thereto.

    A director or officer of the Company shall not be disqualified by his office
    from dealing or contracting with the Company either as a vendor, purchaser
    or otherwise, nor shall any transaction or contract of the Company be void
    or voidable by reason of the fact that any director or officer or any firm
    of which any director or officer is a member or any corporation of which any
    director or officer is a shareholder, officer or director, is in any way
    interested in such transaction or contract, provided that such transaction
    or contract is or shall be authorized, ratified or approved either (1) by a
    vote of a majority of a quorum of the Board of Directors, without counting
    in such majority or quorum any director so interested or member of a firm so
    interested, or a shareholder, officer or director of a corporation so
    interested, or (2) by the written consent, or by the vote at any
    stockholders' meeting of the holders of record of a majority of all the
    outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to
 
                                       7

    vote on such transaction or contract; nor shall any director or officer be
    liable to account to the Company for any profits realized by or from or
    through any such transaction or contract of the Company authorized, ratified
    or approved as aforesaid by reason of the fact that he, or any firm of which
    he is a member or any corporation of which he is a shareholder, officer or
    director, was interested in such transaction or contract. Nothing herein
    contained shall create liability in the events above described or prevent
    the authorization, ratification or approval of such transactions or
    contracts in any other manner permitted by law.
 
                                  ARTICLE XIII

    given to any director, officer, or stockholder, it shall not be construed to
    mean personal notice, but unless otherwise expressly stated in these
    By-laws, such notice may be given in writing by depositing the same in a
    post office or letter box in a postpaid sealed wrapper, addressed to such
    stockholder, officer or director, at such address as appears on the books of
    the Company, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time
    when the same was thus mailed.

    The Board of Directors, at any regular or at any special meeting, by a
    majority vote of the whole Board, may amend, alter, change, add to or repeal
    these By-laws, provided that such amendments are not inconsistent with any
    provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, and provided
    further that if any By-law regulating an impending election of directors is
    adopted or amended or repealed by the Board, there shall be set forth in the
    notice of the next stockholders meeting for the election of directors the
    By-laws so adopted or amended or repealed, together with a concise statement
