                                   DIRECTORS


SECTION 1.        The affairs of the Company shall be managed and its corporate
powers exercised by a Board of Directors consisting of such number of
directors, but not less than seven nor more than fifteen, as may from time to
time be fixed by resolution adopted by a majority of the directors then in
office, or by the stockholders. In the event of any increase in the number of
directors, additional directors may be elected within the limitations so fixed,
either by the stockholders or within the limitations imposed by law, by a
majority of directors then in office. One-third of the number of directors, as

the Board of Directors or any Committee thereof may participate in a meeting of
the Board of Directors or Committee thereof by means of a conference telephone
or similar communications equipment which allows all persons participating in
the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means
shall constitute presence in person at such a meeting.

SECTION 4.        The Board of Directors may adopt such Rules and Regulations
for the conduct of its meetings and the management of the affairs of the
Company as it may deem proper, not inconsistent with the laws of the State of
New York, or these By-Laws, and all officers and employees shall strictly
adhere to, and be bound by, such Rules and Regulations.

SECTION 5.        Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held from
time to time provided, however, that there shall be at least ten regular

notice whenever any three of the directors so request in writing.

SECTION 6.        The compensation of directors as such or as members of

Directors.


                                  ARTICLE III

                                   COMMITTEES

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

The Executive Committee shall possess and exercise to the extent permitted by
law all of the powers of the Board of Directors, except when the latter is in
session, and shall keep minutes of its proceedings, which shall be presented to
the Board of Directors at its next subsequent meeting. All acts done and powers
and authority conferred by the Executive Committee from time to time shall be
and be deemed to be, and may be certified as being, the act and under the
authority of the Board of Directors.

A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, but the Committee may
act only by the concurrent vote of not less than one-third of its members, at
least one of whom must be a director other than an officer. Any one or more
directors, even though not members of the Executive Committee, may attend any
meeting of the Committee, and the member


<PAGE>   12

or members of the Committee present, even though less than a quorum, may
designate any one or more of such directors as a substitute or substitutes for
any absent member or members of the Committee, and each such substitute or
substitutes shall be counted for quorum, voting, and all other purposes as a
member or members of the Committee.

SECTION 2.        There shall be an Audit Committee appointed annually by
resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board of Directors which shall
consist of such number of directors, who are not also officers of the Company,
as may from time to time be fixed by resolution adopted by the Board of
Directors. The Chairman shall be designated by the Board of Directors, who
shall also from time to time fix a quorum for meetings of the Committee. Such
Committee shall conduct the annual directors' examinations of the Company as
required by the New York State Banking Law; shall review the reports of all
examinations made of the Company by public authorities and report thereon to
the Board of Directors; and shall report to the Board of Directors such other
matters as it deems advisable with respect to the Company, its various
departments and the conduct of its operations.

In the performance of its duties, the Audit Committee may employ or retain,
from time to time, expert assistants, independent of the officers or personnel
of the Company, to make studies of the Company's assets and liabilities as the
Committee may request and to make an examination of the accounting and auditing
methods of the Company and its system of internal protective controls to the
extent considered necessary or advisable in order to determine that the
operations of the Company, including its fiduciary departments, are being
audited by the General Auditor in such a manner as to provide prudent and
adequate protection. The Committee also may direct the General Auditor to make
such investigation as it deems necessary or advisable with respect to the
Company, its various departments and the conduct of its operations. The
Committee shall hold regular quarterly meetings and during the intervals
thereof shall meet at other times on call of the Chairman.

SECTION 3.        The Board of Directors shall have the power to appoint any
other Committees as may seem necessary, and from time to time to suspend or
continue the powers and duties of such Committees. Each Committee appointed
pursuant to this Article shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.

                                   ARTICLE V

               INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS

SECTION 1.        The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section
7018 of the New York Banking Law, indemnify any person who is or was made, or
threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether civil or
criminal, whether involving any actual or alleged breach of duty, neglect or
error, any accountability, or any actual or alleged misstatement, misleading
statement or other act or omission and whether brought or threatened in any
court or administrative or legislative body or agency, including an action by
or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor and an action
by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or
foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, which any director or officer of the Company is servicing or
served in any capacity at the request of the Company by reason of the fact that
he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Company,
or is serving or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against
judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and costs, charges and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, or any appeal therein; provided, however, that no
indemnification shall be provided to any such person if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his
acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

SECTION 2.        The Company may indemnify any other person to whom the Company
is permitted to provide indemnification or the advancement of expenses by
applicable law, whether pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or provided by,
the New York Banking Law or other rights created by (i) a resolution of
stockholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii)


<PAGE>   15

an agreement providing for such indemnification, it being expressly intended
that these By-Laws authorize the creation of other rights in any such manner.

SECTION 3.        The Company shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to
any person referred to in Section 1 the funds necessary for payment of
expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any action or
proceeding referred to in Section 1, upon receipt of a written undertaking by
or on behalf of such person to repay such amount(s) if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that (i) his
acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and, in either case, were material to the cause of action so
adjudicated, or (ii) he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled.

SECTION 4.        Any director or officer of the Company serving (i) another
corporation, of which a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election
of its directors is held by the Company, or (ii) any employee benefit plan of
the Company or any corporation referred to in clause (i) in any capacity shall
be deemed to be doing so at the request of the Company. In all other cases, the
provisions of this Article V will apply (i) only if the person serving another
corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise so served at the specific request of the Company, evidenced by
a written communication signed by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief
Executive Officer or the President, and (ii) only if and to the extent that,
after making such efforts as the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive
Officer or the President shall deem adequate in the circumstances, such person
shall be unable to obtain indemnification from such other enterprise or its
insurer.

SECTION 5.        Any person entitled to be indemnified or to the reimbursement
or advancement of expenses as a matter of right pursuant to this Article V may
elect to have the right to indemnification (or advancement of expenses)
interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of
occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the action or proceeding, to
the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at
the time indemnification is sought.

SECTION 6.        The right to be indemnified or to the reimbursement or
advancement of expense pursuant to this Article V (i) is a contract right
pursuant to which the person entitled thereto may bring suit as if the
provisions hereof were set forth in a separate written contract between the
Company and the director or officer, (ii) is intended to be retroactive and
shall be available with respect to events occurring prior to the adoption
hereof, and (iii) shall continue to exist after the rescission or restrictive
modification hereof with respect to events occurring prior thereto.

SECTION 7.        If a request to be indemnified or for the reimbursement or
advancement of expenses pursuant hereto is not paid in full by the Company
within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the
claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover
the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the
claimant shall be entitled also to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such
claim. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination
prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of or
reimbursement or advancement of expenses to the claimant is proper in the
circumstance, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant
is not entitled to indemnification or to the reimbursement or advancement of
expenses, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant is not so entitled.


<PAGE>   16

SECTION 8.        A person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise,
in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character
described in Section 1 shall be entitled to indemnification only as provided in
Sections 1 and 3, notwithstanding any provision of the New York Banking Law to
the contrary.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                                      SEAL


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

SECTION 2.        The Board of Directors may provide, in proper cases on a
specified occasion and for a specified transaction or transactions, for the use
of a printed or engraved facsimile seal of the Company.


                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 CAPITAL STOCK


SECTION 1.        Registration of transfer of shares shall only be made upon
the books of the Company by the registered holder in person, or by power of
attorney, duly executed, witnessed and filed with the Secretary or other proper
officer of the Company, on the surrender of the certificate or certificates of
such shares properly assigned for transfer.

                                   AMENDMENTS
