ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL      
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Financial Condition

Total assets at June 30, 1994 were $14.5 billion, an increase of
$1.1 billion or 7.8 percent from year-end 1993.  Compared to
June 30, 1993, total assets increased $922.9 million or 6.8
percent.

At June 30, 1994, investment securities available for sale,
reported at fair value, amounted to $192.6 million.  These
securities decreased $969.5 million or 83.4 percent from
year-end 1993, and comprised $127.6 million of U.S. Government
and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and $65.0
million of other securities.  As of June 30, 1994, a review of
                            -1-
<PAGE>
the composition of the investment portfolio and investments
securities available for sale was made for the purpose of
determination of the appropriate classification as of the
balance sheet date.  The review included an assessment of
ongoing investment strategies coupled with future liquidity
needs.  Additional funding sources are now available to the
Company through its recent affiliation with the Federal Home
Loan Bank of New York.  As a result of the review, $707.8
million were transferred from available-for-sale category to
held-to-maturity category.  This transfer consisted of $360.2
million of U.S. Government and agency CMOs and $347.6 million of
other securities predominately corporate CMOs.  The transfer was
made at market value and the depreciation at the date of
transfer will be amortized over the life of the securities. 
During the six months of 1994, $3.4 million of investment
securities available for sale were sold.  Total maturities were
$246.1 million during the six month period.  Unrealized gains
and losses on investment securities available for sale were
recorded net of taxes as a separate component of shareholders'
equity.  As of June 30, 1994, the unrealized loss recorded in
equity amounted to $5.3 million.

Investment securities at June 30, 1994 increased $1.6 billion or
63.5 percent from year-end 1993. The increase in the investment
portfolio was the result of $1.5 billion in purchases,
principally in CMOs, and the transfer of $707.8 million of
investment securities available for sale to investment
securities, offset by maturities of $632.6 million during the
six months of 1994.  Since December 31, 1993, other securities
increased $967.1 million as investment strategies were directed
toward the purchase of whole loan CMOs.  Compared to June 30,
1993 the investment portfolio increased $1.0 billion or 34.9
percent.

Total loans increased $352.4 million or 4.1 percent from
December 31, 1993 to $9.0 billion at June 30, 1994.  Compared to
June 30, 1993, total loans increased $259.0 million or 3.0
percent.  From December 31, 1993, commercial loans increased
$225.4 million or 5.3 percent to $4.5 billion at June 30, 1994. 
Commercial loans increased $141.7 million or 3.3 percent
compared to June 30, 1993.  Mortgage loans decreased $13.0
million or .5 percent from December 31, 1993 to $2.4 billion at
June 30, 1994.  Compared to June 30, 1993, mortgage loans
increased $6.3 million or .3 percent.  Instalment loans
increased $139.9 million or 7.0 percent from December 31, 1993
to $2.1 billion.  Compared to June 30, 1993 instalment loans
increased $111.0 million or 5.5 percent.

At the end of the second quarter of 1994, non-performing loans
were $225.7 million or 2.52 percent of total loans.  This
compares to $251.7 million or 2.92 percent at year-end 1993, and
$296.0 million or 3.40 percent at the end of the second quarter
of 1993.  In the second quarter of 1994, non-performing loans
decreased by $26.0 million from the year-end 1993 and were down
$70.3 million from June 30, 1993.

At June 30, 1994, other real estate was $68.4 million, net of a
$29.9 million allowance.  Since December 31, 1993, other real
estate decreased $3.9 million.  Compared to June 30, 1993 these
net balances decreased $35.4 million.

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1994 was $236.7
million or 2.64 percent of loans, compared to $242.1 million or
2.81 percent of loans at December 31, 1993 and $248.7 million or
2.86 percent of loans at June 30, 1993.  For the three months
ended June 30, 1994, net charge offs were $21.3 million or .97
percent of average loans compared to $29.4 million or 1.35
percent during the comparable period in 1993.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1994, net charge offs were $42.4 million
or .98 percent of average loans compared to $76.6 million or
1.77 percent during the comparable period in 1993.

At June 30, 1994 total deposits were $11.6 billion, an increase
of $103.9 million or .9 percent from December 31, 1993 and
increased $94.9 million or .8 percent from a year ago.  Retail
savings and time deposits decreased $143.0 million or 1.7
percent from year end to $8.3 billion and decreased $373.0
million or 4.3 percent from June 30, 1993.  Commercial
certificates of deposit $100,000 and over were $298.4 million,
an increase of $71.8 million or 31.7 percent compared to
December 31, 1993 and increased $29.0 million or 10.8 percent
compared to June 30, 1993.  Demand deposits increased $175.2
million or 6.3 percent from year-end 1993 to $3.0 billion and
increased $438.8 million or 17.3 percent from June 30, 1993.

Other borrowed funds increased $865.5 million or 157.5 percent
from December 31, 1993 to $1.4 billion.  Compared to June 30,
1993, other borrowed funds increased $726.8 million.  Other
borrowed funds increased principally to fund the growth in the
investment and loan portfolios since year-end 1993.  At June 30,
1994, long-term debt was $206.3 million, a decrease of $2.1
million or 1.0 percent from year-end 1993.  Compared to June 30,
1993, long-term debt increased $11.2 million or 5.7 percent. 
This increase reflects the impact of the issuance of $20.0
million private placement notes during the third quarter of 1993
offset by principal paydowns on long-term debt.

Total shareholders' equity increased $38.1 million or 3.9
percent from December 31, 1993 to $1.0 billion.  Included in
shareholders' equity is a $5.3 million  net unrealized loss (net
of tax) on  investment securities available for sale. The
leverage ratio of the company was 7.01 percent compared to 7.07
percent at December 31, 1993.  At June 30, 1993, the leverage
ratio was 6.80 percent.  Under the risk-based capital
guidelines, the Company's Tier I capital was 9.21 percent and
total capital was 12.12 percent at June 30, 1994, compared with
9.37 percent and 12.43 percent, respectively, at December 31,
1993.  The decline in these ratios since year-end 1993 is 
attributable to the $1.1 billion increase in assets. At June 30, 1993,
the Tier I capital ratio was 9.07 percent and total capital was
12.14 percent.  The current minimum regulatory guidelines for
Tier I and total capital ratios are 4.0 percent and 8.0 percent,
respectively.

Results of Operations

For the second quarter of 1994, net income was $31.6 million or
$.60 per share compared with net income of $22.4 million or $.43
per share earned during the second quarter of 1993.  Net income
for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was $59.0 million
compared with $42.8 million for the first half of 1993.  On a
per share basis, net income for the six months ended June 30,
1994 was $1.12 compared to $.82 for the same period in 1993. 
The results for the first six months of 1994 were impacted by
the adoption of SFAS 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits", which had the effect of reducing net
income by $1.7 million or $.03 per share.  The 1993 first half
results were impacted by the adoption of SFAS 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes".  The adoption of SFAS 109 had a favorable
effect on 1993's net income of $3.8 million or $.07 per share.

Interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $448.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1994, a decrease of $8.6 million
or 1.9 percent compared to the same period in 1993.  The
decrease in interest income was primarily due to a lower
interest rates during the first six months of 1994 compared to
the prior year.  Partially offsetting this decline were volume
increases in investment securities and investment securities
available for sale and the benefit of reduced levels of
non-performing loans.  Interest earning assets averaged $13.0
billion during the first six months of 1994, an increase of
$443.0 million or 3.5 percent over the same period of 1993.  

Interest expense decreased $19.2 million or 11.3 percent for the
six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to the same period in
1993.  The benefit of lower rates during the first six months of
1994 and the impact on the cost of retail time deposits compared
to 1993 was the primary factor in the decline in interest
expense.  The costs on these deposits decreased $30.3 million or
21.7 percent.  Consumer preference continued to shift out of
retail certificates of deposit toward more liquid accounts that
are generally lower-yielding.  Offsetting this decline was an
increase in interest expense on borrowed funds and commercial

                           -4-
<PAGE>
certificates of deposit over $100,000 which rose $10.3 million and $.9
million, respectively, over the 1993 six-month period.  These
increases were principally due to volume increases.  Total
borrowed funds, including commercial paper and long-term debt,
increased $422.1 million and commercial certificates of deposit
over $100,000 increased $25.6 million, on average, compared to
the prior year period.  Demand deposits averaged $2.8 billion
during the six months ended June 30, 1994, an increase of $381.1
million or 15.6 percent over the comparable period in 1993.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $297.7 million
for the first six months of 1994 compared with $287.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1993, an increase of $10.6
million or 3.7 percent.  The net interest spread percentage on a
tax-equivalent basis (the difference between the rate earned on
average interest earning assets and the rate paid on average
interest bearing liabilities) was 3.98 percent for the six
months ended June 30,1994, unchanged from June 30, 1993.  Net
interest margin (net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis
as a percentage of average interest earning assets) was 4.63
percent during the six months of 1994 compared with 4.62 percent
during the same period in 1993.

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30,
1994 was reduced 26.0 percent to $18.5 million compared to $25.0
million for the same period a year earlier.  On a year-to-date
basis, the provision was $37.0 million, a decline of $13.0
million or 26.0 percent, compared with the first half of 1993. 
This reduction in the provision for loan losses reflects the
continued decline in the levels of non-performing loans.

Non-interest income, including securities transactions, for the
second quarter of 1994 totaled $43.5 million, an increase of
$2.3 million or 5.6 percent compared with the second quarter
of 1993.  For the six months ended June 30, 1994, non-interest
income totaled $87.2 million, a decrease of $1.1 million or
1.2 percent from the prior year period. Most of this decline can
be attributable to the decrease in securities gains in 1994 when
compared to 1993.

For the second quarter of 1994, net gains on the sale of
investment securities were $.5 million, compared with
net gains of $.2 million in 1993.  For the first six months
of 1994, net gains were $1.8 million, compared with net
gains of $6.8 million in 1993.  These gains were recognized
as securities were sold out of the available for sale portfolio.

For the second quarter of 1994, service charges on deposits were
$16.3 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 10.4 percent over
the prior year period.  Service charges on deposits increased
$2.7 million or 9.0 percent during the six month period ended
June 30, 1994 compared to the corresponding period in 1993.  The
increase for the quarter and year-to-date in service charges was
primarily due to price increases implemented after June 30,
1993.  Service and loan fee income for the second quarter
increased $1.9 million or 23.0 percent compared with the quarter
                           -5-

<PAGE>
ended June 30, 1993 and $3.3 million  or 20.4 percent compared
to the six months ended June 30, 1993.  These increases were
primarily due to higher merchant credit card fees.  Trust fee
income increased $.1 million or 2.5 percent compared to the
second quarter of 1993.  This income rose $.4 million or 3.4
percent during the first half of 1994 compared to the same
period in 1993.  During the second quarter of 1994, other income
decreased $1.2 million or 9.5 percent from the second quarter in
1993.  On a year-to-date basis, other income declined $1.6
million or 6.7 percent compared to the six months ended June 30,
1993.  These declines were attributable to lower secondary
market mortgage fees and brokerage fees recorded during the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to the
1993 periods.

Non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 1994 totaled
$123.9 million, down $4.0 million, or 3.1 percent compared to
the second quarter of 1993 and for the six months ended June 30,
1994 were $246.3 million, down $18.4 million or 6.9 percent from
the year ago period. This was due in part to the continued progress
resulting from the restructuring program announced in September 1993.
On July 15,1994 the three New Jersey banks were combined into one 
New Jersey bank.  The three Pennsylvania banks were combined into
one in March 1994.

Salaries expense decreased $1.2 million or 2.6 percent during the
second quarter of 1994 compared to the second quarter of 1993 and
declined $2.0 million or 2.3 percent during the first half of
1994 compared to the corresponding period of 1993.  Pension and
other employee benefits for the second quarter were $13.3 million,
down $.7 million or 4.8 percent over the second quarter of 1993.
These expenses were $27.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1994, down $1.8 million or 6.1 percent compared to the
corresponding period in 1993.  The decrease in salaries and benefit
expense was partially attributable to the staff savings realized
from the restructuring program.

Occupancy expense for the second quarter of 1994 increased $.4
million or 3.4 percent compared to the prior year period.  This
expense was $25.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994
and rose $1.4 million or 5.9 percent compared to the
corresponding period in 1993.  This increase was principally due
to higher snow removal costs as a result of severe weather
conditions during 1994.  Furniture and equipment expense rose
$.9 million or 7.9 percent for the quarter, and rose $1.8
million or 8.3 percent during the first half of 1994.  The
increase over the prior year period resulted from increased
equipment rentals and maintenance expenses related to the
installation of new on-line equipment to support branch
automation.

The FDIC insurance assessment decreased $1.2 million or 15.5
percent during the second quarter of 1994 compared to the second
quarter of 1993 and was down $2.6 million or 15.9 percent during
the first half of 1994 compared to the corresponding period in
1993.  This decrease reflects the impact of the reduced
assessment rates under the risk-based assessment system
implemented in accordance with  the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.
                          -6-

Other real estate expenses were $5.5 million for the second
quarter of 1994, a decrease of $2.5 million or 31.4 percent from
the second quarter of 1993.  On a year-to-date basis, other
real estate expenses were $9.6 million, a decrease of $13.4
million or 58.4 percent, compared to the six months ended June
30, 1993.  Included in these amounts is a provision for losses
on other real estate and expenses related to holding and
operating foreclosed property.  A provision of $3.5 million for
the second quarter and $5.9 million for the first six months of
1994 was added to the allowance for other real estate.  This
compares to a provision of $6.1 million for the second quarter
of 1993 and $18.6 million for the first half of 1993.  Expenses
for operating and maintaining other real estate amounted to $2.0
million for the second quarter and $3.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1994 compared with $1.9 million and $4.3
million for the first six months of 1993.


Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of the ability to meet present and future
funding obligations and commitments.  Bank liquidity is the
ability to meet the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawal
requirements of customers and to support asset growth. 
Principal sources of liquidity are deposit generation, access to
purchased funds, maturities and repayments of loans and
investment securities, and interest and fee income.

The consolidated statements of cash flows present the change in
cash and cash equivalents from operating, investing and
financing activities.  During the six months of 1994, net cash
provided by operating activities totaled $158.8 million.  This
amount was primarily attributable to results of operations
adjusted for the provision for loan losses and other real estate
owned, and proceeds from the sales of mortgages held for sale. 
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.0 billion and
was the result of investment and loan activity.  Net cash
provided by financing activities totaled $958.2 million,
reflecting the increases in short-term borrowings.

During the first six months of 1994, proceeds of $878.7 million
from maturities in the investment portfolio, including
investment securities available for sale, contributed to
liquidity.  Borrowed funds, which includes Federal funds and 
repurchase agreements and commercial paper increased $872.0
million since December 31,1993 and provided another source
of liquidity.  Offsetting these sources were purchases of
$1.5 billion of investment securities and an increase of
$352.4 million in loans since year-end 1993.

Demand deposits increased $438.8 million to $3.0 billion from a
year ago.  Offsetting this increase in liquidity, savings and
time deposits declined $373.0 million from June 30, 1993,
primarily in the category of retail certificates of deposits.

                         -7-

Additional liquidity is accessible from maturities and principal
repayments in the investments portfolio.  Scheduled maturities
and anticipated principal repayments of the investment portfolio
will approximate $350 million throughout the balance of 1994. 
In addition, all or part of the investment securities available
for sale of $192.6 million could be sold to provide liquidity. 
These sources can be used to meet the funding needs during
periods of loan growth.  Liquidity is also available through 
the recent affiliation with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New
York , additional lines of credit and the ability to incur
additional debt.  At June 30, 1994, there were $40.0 million of
short-term lines of credit available for general corporate
purposes, with no outstandings.

             distribution of Common Shares or other capital stock of the 
             Corporation or a distribution of rights or warrants to acquire 
             any such share, including any debt security convertible into or 
             exchangeable for any such share, at a price less than the Fair 
             Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of such share), then and 
             in each such event the Corporation shall simultaneously pay on 
             each then outstanding share of Series R Preferred Stock of the 
             Corporation a distribution, in like kind, of one hundred (100) 
             times such distribution paid on a Common Share (subject to the 
             provisions for adjustment hereinafter set forth).  The dividends 
             and distributions on the Series R Preferred Stock to which 
             holders thereof are entitled pursuant to clause (i) of the first 
             sentence of this paragraph and pursuant to the second sentence 
             of this paragraph are hereinafter referred to as "Participating 
             Dividends" and the multiple of such cash and non-cash dividends 
             on the Common Shares applicable to the determination of the 
             Participating Dividends, which shall be one hundred (100) 
             initially but shall be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter 
             provided, is hereinafter referred to as the "Dividend Multiple".  
             In the event the Corporation shall at any time after August 28, 
             1989 declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on 
             Common Shares payable in Common Shares or any class or series 
             thereof, or effect a subdivision or split or a combination, 
             consolidation or reverse split of the outstanding Common Shares 
             into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in each 
             such case the Dividend Multiple thereafter applicable to the 
             determination of the amount of Participating Dividends which 
             holders of shares of Series R Preferred Stock shall be entitled 
             to receive shall be the Dividend Multiple applicable immediately 
             prior to such event multiplied by a fraction the numerator of 
             which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately 
             after such event and the denominator of which is the number of 
             Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to such 
             event.

                 (2)  The Corporation shall declare each Participating 
             Dividend at the same time it declares any cash or non-cash 
             dividend or distribution on the Common Shares in respect of 
             which a Participating Dividend is required to be paid.  No cash 
             or non-cash dividend or distribution on the Common Shares in 
             respect of which a Participating Dividend is required to be paid 
             shall be paid or set aside for payment on the Common Shares 
             unless a Participating Dividend in respect of such dividend or 
             distribution on the Common Shares shall be simultaneously paid, 
             or set aside for payment, on the Series R Preferred Stock.

                 (3)  Preferential Dividends shall begin to accrue on 
             outstanding shares of Series R Preferred Stock commencing with 
             the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next following the date of 
             issuance of any shares of Series R Preferred Stock and shall 
             accrue on and as of such date and each successive Quarterly 
             Dividend Payment Date thereafter.  Accrued but unpaid 
             Preferential Dividends shall cumulate but shall not bear 
             interest.  Preferential Dividends paid on the shares of Series R 
             Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such 
             dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall 
             be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such 
             shares at the time outstanding.

             b)  Voting Rights.  The holders of shares of Series R Preferred 
        Stock shall have the following voting rights:

                 (1)  Subject to the provisions for adjustment hereinafter 
             set forth, each share of Series R Preferred Stock shall entitle 
             the holder thereof to one hundred (100) votes on all matters 
             submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Corporation.  The 
             number of votes which a holder of Series R Preferred Stock is 
             entitled to cast, as the same may be adjusted from time to time 
             as hereinafter provided, is hereinafter referred to as the "Vote 
             Multiple."  In the event the Corporation shall at any time after 
             August 28, 1989 declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock 
             payable in Common Shares, or effect a subdivision or split or a 
             combination, consolidation or reverse split of the outstanding 
             Common Shares into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, 
             then in each such case the Vote Multiple thereafter applicable 
             to the determination of the number of votes per share to which 
             holders of shares of Series R Preferred Stock shall be entitled 
             after such event shall be the Vote Multiple immediately prior to 
             such event multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is 
             the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such 
             event and the denominator of which is the number of Common 
             Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

                 (2)  Except as otherwise provided herein, or by law, the 
             Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws, the holders of 
             shares of Series R Preferred Stock and the holders of Common 
             Shares shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted 
             to a vote of shareholders of the Corporation.

                 (3)  If at the time of any annual meeting of shareholders of 
             the Corporation for the election of directors, the Corporation 
             shall have failed to pay the Preferential Dividends on the 
             shares of the Series R Preferred Stock for six dividend payment 
             periods, whether or not consecutive, or shall fail to pay in 
             full such dividends, if any, as may accumulate on any other 
             series of Preferred Stock for a period of 18 months (referred to 
             herein as a "Dividend Payment Default"), the number of directors 
             of the Corporation shall be increased by two and the holders of 
             the all outstanding series of Preferred Stock in respect of 
             which such a default in payment of dividends as described 
             hereinabove exists, voting as a single class without regard to 
             series, will be entitled to elect such additional two directors 
             until fullcumulative dividends for all past dividend periods 
             upon all series of Preferred Stock have been paid or declared 
             and set apart for payment.  If and when the full cumulative 
             dividends on all series of Preferred Stock for all past dividend 
             payment periods shall have been paid or declared and set apart 
             for payment, the holders of Preferred Stock shall be divested of 
             the foregoing special voting right, subject to revesting in the 
             event of each and every subsequent Dividend Payment Default.  
             Upon the termination of each such special voting right, the term 
             of office of each director elected by the holders of shares of 
             Preferred Stock in respect of which a default exists in the 
             payment of dividends as described hereinabove (herein referred 
             to as a "Preferred Director") pursuant to such special voting 
             right shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors 
             constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced by two.  
             Any Preferred Director may be removed by, and shall not be 
             removed except by, the vote of the holders of record of the 
             outstanding shares of Preferred Stock in respect of which such a 
             default exists, voting together as a single class without regard 
             to series, at a meeting of the shareholders, or of the holders 
             of shares of such Preferred Stock, called for the purpose.  As 
             long as a Dividend Payment Default shall continue (A) any 
             vacancy in the office of a Preferred Director may be filled 
             (except as provided in the following clause (B)) by an 
             instrument in writing signed by the remaining Preferred Director 
             and filed with the Corporation and (B) in the case of the 
             removal of any Preferred Director, the vacancy may be filled by 
             the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Preferred 
             Stock in respect of which such a default exists, voting together 
             as a single class without regard to series, at the same meeting 
             at which such removal shall be voted or a subsequent meeting.  
             Each director appointed as aforesaid by the remaining Preferred 
             Director shall be deemed, for all purposes hereof, to be a 
             Preferred Director.

                 (4)  Except as otherwise set forth herein or required by 
             law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws, holders of 
             Series R Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and 
             their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they 
             are entitled to vote with holders of Common Shares as set forth 
             herein) for the taking of any corporate action.

             (c) Certain Restrictions.

                 (1)  Whenever Preferential Dividends or Participating 
             Dividends are in arrears or the Corporation shall be in default 
             of payment thereof, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid 
             Preferential Dividends and Participating Dividends, whether or 
             not declared, on shares of Series R Preferred Stock outstanding 
             shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the 
             payment thereof set apart for payment, and in addition to any 
             and all other rights which any holder of shares of Series R 
             Preferred Stock may have in such circumstances, the Corporation 
             shall not:

                      (i)  declare or pay or set apart for payment dividends 
                 on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase 
                 or otherwise acquire for consideration, any shares of stock 
                 ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, 
                 dissolution or winding up) to the Series R Preferred Stock;

                      (ii) declare or pay or set apart for payment dividends 
                 on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock 
                 ranking on a parity as to dividends with the Series R 
                 Preferred Stock, unless dividends are paid ratably on the 
                 Series R Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which 
                 dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the 
                 total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are 
                 then entitled if the full dividends accrued thereon were to 
                 be paid;

                      (iii)    except as permitted by subparagraph (iv) of 
                 this paragraph (c)(1), redeem or purchase or otherwise 
                 acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a 
                 parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, 
                 dissolution or winding up) with the Series R Preferred 
                 Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, 
                 purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity 
                 stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation 
                 ranking junior (both as to dividends and upon liquidation, 
                 dissolution or winding up) to the Series R Preferred 
                 Stock; or

                      (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration 
                 any shares of Series R Preferred Stock, or any shares of 
                 stock ranking on a parity with the Series R Preferred Stock 
                 (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or 
                 winding up), except in accordance with a purchase offer made 
                 to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board 
                 of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual 
                 dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of 
                 the respective series and classes, shall determine in good 
                 faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the 
                 respective series or classes.

                 (2)  The Corporation shall not permit any Subsidiary (as 
             hereinafter defined) of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise 
             acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation 
                                   
                                     -7-
<PAGE>             
             unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (1) of this 
             Section (c), purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such 
             time and in such manner.  A "Subsidiary" of the Corporation 
             shall mean any corporation or other entity of which securities 
             or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power 
             sufficient to elect a majority of the board of directors or 
             other persons performing similar functions are beneficially 
             owned, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or by any 
             corporation or other entity that is otherwise controlled by the 
             Corporation.

                 (3)  The Corporation shall not issue any shares of Series R 
             Preferred Stock except upon exercise of rights issued pursuant 
             to that certain Rights Agreement dated as of August 16, 1989 
             between the Corporation and First Chicago Trust Company of New 
             York, as Rights Agent, a copy of which is on file with the 
             Secretary of the Corporation at its principal executive office 
             and shall be made available to shareholders of record without 
             charge upon written request therefor addressed to said Secre-
             tary.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, nothing contained 
             in the provisions hereof shall prohibit or restrict the 
             Corporation from issuing for any purpose any series of Preferred 
             Stock with rights and privileges similar to, different from, or 
             greater than, those of the Series R Preferred Stock.

             (d) Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series R Preferred Stock 
        purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner 
        whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the 
        acquisition thereof.  All such shares upon their retirement and 
        cancellation shall become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred 
        Stock, without designation as to series, and such shares may be 
        reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by 
        resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors.

             (e) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.  Upon the 
        dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, no 
        distribution shall be made (i) to the holders of shares of stock 
        ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, 
        dissolution or winding up) to the Series R Preferred Stock unless the 
        holders of shares of Series R Preferred Stock shall have received, 
        subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, (1) $1.00 per 
        one-hundredth share ($100 per share) plus an amount equal to accrued 
        and unpaid dividends and distributions  thereon, whether or not 
        declared, to the date of such payment, or (2) if greater than the 
        amount specified in clause (i)(1) of this sentence, an amount equal 
        to one hundred (100) times the aggregate amount to be distributed per 
        share to holders of Common Shares, as the same may be adjusted as 
        hereinafter provided, and (ii) to the holders of stock ranking on a 
        parity upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up with the Series R 
        Preferred Stock, unless simultaneously therewith distributions are 
        made ratably on the Series R Preferred Stock and all other shares of 
        such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the 
        holders of shares of Series R Preferred Stock are entitled under 
        clause (i)(1) of this sentence and to which the holders of such 
        parity shares are entitled, in each case upon such liquidation, 
        dissolution or winding up.  The amount to which holders of Series R 
                                     -8-
<PAGE>        
        Preferred Stock may be entitled upon liquidation, dissolution or 
        winding up of the Corporation pursuant to clause (i)(2) of the 
        foregoing sentence is hereinafter referred to as the "Participating 
        Liquidation Amount" and the multiple of the amount to be distributed 
        to holders of Common Shares upon the liquidation, dissolution or 
        winding up of the Corporation applicable, pursuant to said clause, to 
        the determination of the Participating Liquidation Amount, as said 
        multiple may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter provided, 
        is hereinafter referred to as the "Liquidation Multiple".  In the 
        event the Corporation shall at any time after August 28, 1989 declare 
        or pay any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares or any 
        class or series thereof, or effect a subdivision or split or a 
        combination, consolidation or reverse split of the outstandingCommon 
        Shares into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in each 
        such case the Liquidation Multiple thereafter applicable to the 
        determination of the Participating Liquidation Amount to which 
        holders of Series R Preferred Stock shall be entitled after such 
        event shall be the Liquidation Multiple applicable immediately prior 
        to such event multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the 
        number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event and 
        the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were 
        outstanding immediately prior to such event.  The sale, conveyance, 
        exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other 
        consideration) of all or substantially all the property and assets of 
        the Corporation shall not be deemed a dissolution, liquidation or 
        winding up of the Corporation for the purposes of this Section (e), 
        nor shall the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with 
        any other corporation or association or the merger or consolidation 
        of any other corporation or association into or with the Corporation, 
        be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the 
        Corporation for the purposes of this Section (e).

             (f) Certain Reclassifications and Other Events.

                 (1)  In the event that holders of Common Shares of the 
             Corporation receive after August 28, 1989 in respect of their 
             Common Shares any share of capital stock of the Corporation 
             (other than any Common Shares of the Corporation of the same 
             class and series as such outstanding Common Shares), whether by 
             way of reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, 
             dividend or other distribution or otherwise (a "Transaction"), 
             then and in each such event the dividend rights, voting rights 
             and rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of 
             the Corporation of the shares of Series R Preferred Stock shall 
             be adjusted so that after such event the holders of Series R 
             Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in respect of each share of 
             Series R Preferred Stock held, in addition to such rights in 
             respect thereof to which such holder was entitled immediately 
             prior to such adjustment, to (i) such additional dividends as 
             equal the Dividend Multiple in effect immediately prior to such 
             Transaction multiplied by the additional dividends which the 
             holder of a Common Share shall be entitled to receive by virtue 
             of the receipt in the Transaction of such capital stock; (ii) 
             such additional voting rights as equal the Vote Multiple in 
             effect immediately prior to such Transaction multiplied by the 
             additional voting rights which the holder of a Common Share 
                                     -9-
<PAGE>             
             shall be entitled to receive by virtue of the receipt in the 
             Transaction of such capital stock; and (iii) such additional 
             distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
             Corporation as equal the Liquidation Multiple in effect 
             immediately prior to such Transaction multiplied by the 
             additional amount which the holder of a Common Share shall be 
             entitled to receive upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up 
             of the Corporation by virtue of the receipt in the Transaction 
             of such capital stock, as the case may be, all as provided by 
             the terms of such capital stock.

                 (2)  In the event that all holders of Common Shares of the 
             Corporation receive after August 28, 1989 in respect of their 
             Common Shares any right or warrant to purchase Common Shares 
             (including as such a right, for all purposes of this paragraph, 
             any securityconvertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) 
             at a purchase price per share less than the Fair Market Value of 
             a Common Share on the date of issuance of such right or warrant, 
             then and in each such event the dividend rights, voting rights 
             and rights upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of 
             the Corporation of the shares of Series R Preferred Stock shall 
             each be adjusted so that after such event the Dividend Multiple, 
             the Vote Multiple and the Liquidation Multiple shall each be the 
             product of the Dividend Multiple, the Vote Multiple and the 
             Liquidation Multiple, as the case may be, in effect immediately 
             prior to such event multiplied by a fraction the numerator of 
             which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding 
             immediately before such issuance of rights or warrants plus the 
             maximum number of Common Shares which could be acquired upon 
             exercise in full of all such rights or warrants and the 
             denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares 
             outstanding immediately before such issuance of rights or 
             warrants plus the number of Common Shares which could be 
             purchased, at the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares at the 
             time of such issuance, by the maximum aggregate consideration 
             payable upon exercise in full of all such rights or warrants.

                 (3)  In the event that holders of Common Shares of the 
             Corporation receive after August 28, 1989 in respect of their 
             Common Shares any right or warrant to purchase capital stock of 
             the Corporation (other than Common Shares of any class or 
             series), including as such a right, for all purposes of this 
             paragraph, any security convertible into or exchangeable for 
             capital stock of the Corporation (other than Common Shares of 
             any class or series), at a purchase price per share less than 
             the Fair Market Value of such shares of capital stock on the 
             date of issuance of such right or warrant, then and in each such 
             event the dividend rights, voting rights and rights upon 
             liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation of the 
             shares of Series R Preferred Stock shall each be adjusted so 
             that after such event each holder of a share of Series R 
             Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in respect of each share of 
             Series R Preferred Stock held, in addition to such rights in 
             respect thereof to which such holder was entitled immediately 
             prior to such event, to receive (i) such additional dividends as 
             equal the Dividend Multiple in effect immediately prior to such 
             event multiplied, first, by the additional dividends to which 
                                    -10-
<PAGE>             
             the holder of a Common Share shall be entitled upon exercise of 
             such right or warrant by virtue of the capital stock which could 
             be acquired upon such exercise and multiplied again by the 
             Discount Fraction (as hereinafter defined); (ii) such additional 
             voting rights as equal the Vote Multiple in effect immediately 
             prior to such event multiplied, first, by the additional voting 
             rights to which the holder of a Common Share shall be entitled 
             upon exercise of such right or warrant by virtue of the capital 
             stock which could be acquired upon such exercise and multiplied 
             again by the Discount Fraction; and (iii) such additional 
             distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
             Corporation as equal the Liquidation Multiple in effect 
             immediately prior to such event multiplied, first, by the 
             additional amount which the holder of a Common Share shall be 
             entitled to receive upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up 
             of the Corporation uponexercise of such right or warrant by 
             virtue of the capital stock which could be acquired upon such 
             exercise and multiplied again by the Discount Fraction.  For 
             purposes of this paragraph, the "Discount Fraction" shall be a 
             fraction the numerator of which shall be the difference between 
             the Fair Market Value of a share of the capital stock subject to 
             a right or warrant distributed to holders of Common Shares of 
             the Corporation as contemplated by this paragraph immediately 
             after the distribution thereof and the purchase price per share 
             for such share of capital stock pursuant to such right or 
             warrant and the denominator of which shall be the Fair Market 
             Value of a share of such capital stock immediately after the 
             distribution of such right or warrant.

                 (4)  For purposes hereof, the "Fair Market Value" of a share 
             of capital stock of the Corporation (including a Common Share) 
             on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily 
             closing price per share thereof over the 30 consecutive Trading 
             Days (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to 
             such date; provided, however, that, in the event that such Fair 
             Market Value of any such share of capital stock is determined 
             during a period which includes any date that is within 30 
             Trading Days after (i) the ex-dividend date for a dividend or 
             distribution on stock payable in shares of such stock or 
             securities convertible into shares of such stock, or (ii) the 
             effective date of any subdivision, split, combination, 
             consolidation, reverse stock split or reclassification of such 
             stock, then, and in each such case, the Fair Market Value shall 
             be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors of the 
             Corporation to take into account ex-dividend or post-effective 
             date trading.  The closing price for any day shall be the last 
             sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on 
             such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, 
             regular way (in either case, as reported in the applicable 
             transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed 
             or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange), or, if 
             the shares are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York 
             Stock Exchange, as reported in the applicable transaction 
             reporting system with respect to securities listed on the 
             principal national securities exchange on which the shares are 
             listed or admitted to trading or, if the shares are not listed 
             or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the 
                                    -11-

             last quoted price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high 
             bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as 
             reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. 
             Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") or such other system then 
             in use, or if on any such date the shares are not quoted by any 
             such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked 
             prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a 
             market in the shares selected by the Board of Directors of the 
             Corporation.  The term "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which 
             the principal national securities exchange on which the shares 
             are listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of 
             business or, if the shares are not listed or admitted to trading 
             on any national securities exchange, on which the New York Stock 
             Exchange or such other national securities exchange as may be 
             selected by the Board of Directors of the Corporation is open.  
             If the shares are not publicly held or not so listed or traded 
             on any day within the period of 30 Trading Daysapplicable to the 
             determination of Fair Market Value thereof as aforesaid, "Fair 
             Market Value" shall mean the fair market value thereof per share 
             as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the 
             Corporation.  In either case referred to in the foregoing 
             sentence, the determination of Fair Market Value shall be 
             described in a statement filed with the Secretary of the 
             Corporation.

             (g) Consolidation, Merger, etc.   In case the Corporation shall 
        enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other 
        transaction in which the Common Shares are exchanged for or changed 
        into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then 
        in any such case each outstanding share of Series R Preferred Stock 
        shall at the same time be similarly exchanged for or changed into the 
        aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or other property 
        (payable in like kind), as the case may be, for which or into which 
        each Common Share is changed or exchanged multiplied by the highest 
        of the Dividend Multiple, the Vote Multiple or the Liquidation 
        Multiple in effect immediately prior to such event.

             (h) Effective Time of Adjustments.

                 (1)  Adjustments to the Series R Preferred Stock required by 
             the provisions hereof shall be effective as of the time at which 
             the event requiring such adjustments occurs.

                 (2)  The Corporation shall give prompt written notice to 
             each holder of a share of Series R Preferred Stock of the effect 
             of any adjustment to the voting rights, dividend rights or 
             rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
             Corporation of such shares required by the provisions hereof.  
             Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure of the Cor-
             poration to give such notice shall not affect the validity of 
             or the force or effect of or the requirement for such adjustment.

             (i) No Redemption.  The shares of Series R Preferred Stock shall 
        not be redeemable at the option of the Corporation or any holder 
        thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence of this Section, the 
        Corporation may acquire shares of Series R Preferred Stock in any 
        other manner permitted by law, the provisions hereof and the 
        Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.
                                    -12-

             (j) Ranking.  Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of 
        Incorporation of the Corporation or a Certificate of Amendment 
        relating to a subsequent series of preferred stock of the 
        Corporation, the Series R Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all 
        other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock as to the payment 
        of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation, 
        dissolution or winding up and senior to the Common Shares.

             (k) Conversion or Exchange.  The holders of shares of Series R 
        Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such shares into 
        or exchange such shares for Common Shares of the Corporation or any 
        other stock of the Corporation.

             (l) Preemptive Rights.  Shares of the Series R Preferred Stock 
        are not entitled to any preemptive rights.

             (m) Amendment.  Unless the vote or consent of the holders of a 
        greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent 
        of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of all of the shares of this 
        Series R Preferred Stock at the time outstanding given in person or 
        by proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for the 
        purpose, on which matter the holders of shares of this Series R 
        Preferred Stock shall vote together as a separate class, shall be 
        necessary to authorize, effect or validate any amendment, alteration 
        or repeal of any of the provisions of the Restated Certificate of 
        Incorporation of the Corporation or of any certificate amendatory or 
        supplemental thereto which amendment, alteration or repeal would, if 
        effected, adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers or 
        privileges of this Series R Preferred Stock.

        B.   Creation of Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series 
    B.  A series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, consisting of 
    1,200,000 shares, is hereby created and designated as `Adjustable Rate 
    Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B' hereinafter referred to as `this 
    Series B'), which series of Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of 
    $50 per share and the following rights and preferences:

             (a) Dividends.

                 (1)  Dividends shall accrue daily on the shares of this 
             Series B for each dividend payment period at the following 
             rates:  (i) for the dividend payment period from the date of 
             their original issuance to and including July 31, 1987 at the 
             rate of 7.25% per annum, and (ii) for each quarterly dividend 
             payment period thereafter, commencing on August 1, November 1, 
             February 1 or May 1, as the case may be, of each year and ending 
             on and including the day next preceding the first day of the 
             next such quarterly dividend payment period (a `Quarterly 
             Dividend Period'), at the Applicable Rate (as defined in 
             paragraph (2) of this Section (a)) from time to time in effect 
             for each such Quarterly Dividend Period.  Such dividends, 
             calculated as a percentage of stated value, shall accrue from 
             the date of original issuance of such shares, shall be payable 
             in arrears, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, 
             on the first day of February, May, August and November of each 
                                    -13-
<PAGE>            
             year, commencing August 1, 1987 and shall cumulate if not paid 
             on such payment date.  Each such dividend shall be paid to the 
             holders of record of shares of this Series B as they appear on 
             the books of the Corporation on such record dates, not exceeding 
             30 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed 
             by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or by a duly 
             authorized committee thereof.

                 (2)  Except as provided below in this paragraph, the `Appli-
             cable Rate' for any Quarterly Dividend Period shall be 1.50% 
             less than the highest of the Treasury Bill Rate, the Ten Year 
             Constant Maturity Rate and the Thirty Year Constant Maturity 
             Rate (each as hereinafter defined) as determined in advance for 
             such Quarterly Dividend Period.  In the event that the 
             Corporation determines in good faith that forany reason one or 
             more of such rates cannot be determined for any Quarterly 
             Dividend Period, then the Applicable Rate for such Quarterly 
             Dividend Period shall be 1.50% less than the higher of whichever 
             of such rates can be so determined.  In the event that the 
             Corporation determines in good faith that none of such rates can 
             be determined for any Quarterly Dividend Period, then the 
             Applicable Rate in effect for the preceding dividend payment 
             period shall continue for such Quarterly Dividend Period.  
             Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Rate for any 
             Quarterly Dividend Period shall in no event be less than 6% per 
             annum nor greater than 11% per annum.

                 (3)  Except as provided below in this paragraph, the `Trea-
             sury Bill Rate' for each Quarterly Dividend Period shall be the 
             arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum 
             market discount rates for three-month U.S. Treasury bills, as 
             published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal 
             Reserve System (the `Federal Reserve Board') during the period 
             of fourteen calendar days (a `Calendar Period') immediately 
             prior to the last ten calendar days of January, April, July or 
             October, as the case may be, prior to the commencement of the 
             Quarterly Dividend Period for which the dividend rate on this 
             Series B is being determined (or the one weekly per annum market 
             discount rate, if only one such rate shall be so published 
             during such Calendar Period).  In the event that the Federal 
             Reserve Board does not publish such a weekly per annum market 
             discount rate during such Calendar Period, then the Treasury 
             Bill Rate for such Quarterly Dividend Period shall be the 
             arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum 
             market discount rates for three-month U.S. Treasury bills as 
             published weekly during such Calendar Period by any Federal 
             Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency 
             selected by the Corporation (or the one weekly per annum market 
             discount rate, if only one such rate shall be so published 
             during such Calendar Period).  In the event that a per annum 
             market discount rate for three-month U.S. Treasury bills shall 
             not be published by the Federal Reserve Board or by any Federal 
             Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency 
             during such Calendar Period, then the Treasury Bill Rate for 
             such Quarterly Dividend Period shall be the arithmetic average 
             of the two most recent weekly per annum market discount rates 
             for all of the U.S. Treasury bills then having maturities of not
                                    -14-
<PAGE>             
             less than 80 nor more than 100 days, as published during such 
             Calendar Period by the Federal Reserve Board or, if the Federal 
             Reserve Board shall not publish such rates, by any Federal 
             Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency 
             selected by the Corporation (or the one weekly per annum market 
             discount rate, if only one such rate shall be so published 
             during such Calendar Period).  In the event that the Corporation 
             determines in good faith that for any reason no such U.S. 
             Treasury bill rates were published as provided above during such 
             Calendar Period, then the Treasury Bill Rate for such Quarterly 
             Dividend Period shall be the arithmetic average of the per annum 
             market discount rates based upon the closing bids during such 
             Calendar Period for each of the issues of marketable 
             non-interest bearing U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 
             not less than 80 nor more than 100 days from the date of each 
             such quotation, as chosen and quoted daily for each business 
             day in New York City (or less frequently if daily quotations 
             shall not be generally available) to the Corporationby at least 
             three recognized dealers in the U.S. Government securities 
             selected by the Corporation.  In the event that the Corporation 
             determines in good faith that for any reason the Corporation 
             cannot determine the Treasury Bill Rate for any Quarterly 
             Dividend Period as provided above in this paragraph, the 
             Treasury Bill Rate for such dividend period shall be the 
             arithmetic average of the per annum market discount rates based 
             upon the closing bids during such Calendar Period for each of 
             the issues of marketable interest-bearing U.S. Treasury 
             securities with a maturity of not less than 80 nor more than 100 
             days (from the date of such quotation), as chosen and quoted 
             daily for each business day in New York City (or less frequently 
             if daily quotations shall not be generally available) to the 
             Corporation by at least three recognized dealers in U.S. Govern-
             ment securities selected by the Corporation.

                 (4)  Except as provided below in this paragraph, the `Ten 
             Year Constant Maturity Rate' for each Quarterly Dividend Period 
             shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly 
             per annum Ten Year Average Yields (as hereinafter defined), as 
             published weekly by the Federal Reserve Board during the 
             Calendar Period immediately prior to the last ten calendar days 
             of January, April, July or October, as the case may be, prior to 
             the commencement of the Quarterly Dividend Period for which the 
             dividend rate on this Series B is being determined (or the one 
             weekly per annum Ten Year Average Yield, if only one such Yield 
             shall be so published during such Calendar Period).  In the 
             event that the Federal Reserve Board does not publish such a 
             weekly per annum Ten Year Average Yield during such Calendar 
             Period, then the Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate for such 
             Quarterly Dividend Period shall be the arithmetic average of the 
             two most recent weekly per annum Ten Year Average Yields, as pub-
             lished weekly during such Calendar Period by any Federal Reserve 
             Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency selected by 
             the Corporation (or the one weekly per annum Ten Year Average 
             Yield, if only one such Yield shall be so published during such 
             Calendar Period).  In the event that a per annum Ten Year 
             Average Yield shall not be published by the Federal Reserve 
                                     -15-

             Board or by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government 
             department or agency during such Calendar Period, then the Ten 
             Year Constant Maturity Rate for such dividend period shall be 
             the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly per annum 
             average yields to maturity for all of the actively traded 
             marketable U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate securities (other 
             than Special Securities) then having maturities of not less than 
             eight nor more than twelve years, as published during such 
             Calendar Period by the Federal Reserve Board or, if the Federal 
             Reserve Board shall not publish such yields, by any Federal 
             Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency 
             selected by the Corporation (or the one weekly per annum average 
             yield to maturity, if only one such yield shall be so published 
             during such Calendar Period).  In the event that the Corporation 
             determines in good faith that for any reason the Corporation 
             cannot determine the Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate for any 
             Quarterly Dividend Period as provided above in this paragraph, 
             then the Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate for such dividend 
             period shall be the arithmetic average of the per annum average 
             yields to maturity based upon the closing bids during such 
             Calendar Period foreach of the issues of actively traded 
             marketable U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate securities (other 
             than Special Securities) with a final maturity date not less 
             than eight nor more than twelve years from the date of each such 
             quotation, as chosen and quoted daily for each business day in 
             New York City (or less frequently if daily quotations shall not 
             be generally available) to the Corporation by at least three 
             recognized dealers in U.S. Government securities selected by the 
             Corporation.

                 (5)  Except as provided below in this paragraph, the `Thirty 
             Year Constant Maturity Rate' for each Quarterly Dividend Period 
             shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent weekly 
             per annum Thirty Year Average Yields (as hereinafter defined), 
             as published weekly by the Federal Reserve Board during the 
             Calendar Period immediately prior to the last ten calendar days 
             of January, April, July or October, as the case may be, prior to 
             the Quarterly Dividend Period for which the dividend rate on 
             this Series B is being determined (or the one weekly per annum 
             Thirty Year Average Yield, if only one such Yield shall be so 
             published during such Calendar Period).  In the event that the 
             Federal Reserve Board does not publish such a weekly per annum 
             Thirty Year Average Yield during such Calendar Period, then the 
             Thirty Year Constant Maturity Rate for such Quarterly Dividend 
             Period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent 
             weekly per annum Thirty Year Average Yields, as published weekly 
             during such Calendar Period by any Federal Reserve Bank or by 
             and U.S. Government department or agency selected by the 
             Corporation (or the one weekly per annum Thirty Year Average 
             yield, if only one such yield shall be so published during such 
             Calendar Period).  In the event that a per annum Thirty Year 
             Average Yield shall not be published by the Federal Reserve 
             Board or by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government 
             department or agency during such Calendar Period, then the 
             Thirty Year Constant Maturity Rate for such Quarterly Dividend 
             Period shall be the arithmetic average of the two most recent 
             weekly per annum average yields to maturity for all of the 
             actively traded marketable U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate 
                                    -16-

             securities (other than Special Securities) then having 
             maturities of not less than twenty-eight nor more than thirty 
             years, as published during such Calendar Period by the Federal 
             Reserve Board or, if the Federal Reserve Board shall not publish 
             such yields, by any Federal Reserve Bank or by any U.S. 
             Government department or agency selected by the Corporation (or 
             the one weekly per annum average yield to maturity, if only one 
             such yield shall be so published during such Calendar Period).  
             In the event that the Corporation determines in good faith 
             that for any reason the Corporation cannot determine the Thirty 
             Year Constant Maturity Rate for any Quarterly Dividend Period as 
             provided above in this paragraph, then the Thirty Year Constant 
             Maturity Rate for such Quarterly Dividend Period shall be the 
             arithmetic average of the per annum average yields to maturity 
             based upon the closing bids during such Calendar Period for each 
             of the issues of actively traded marketable U.S. Treasury fixed 
             interest rate securities (other than Special Securities) with a 
             final maturity date not less than twenty-eight nor more than 
             thirty years from the date of each such quotation, as chosen and 
             quoted daily for each business day in New York City (or less 
             frequently if daily quotations shall not begenerally available) 
             to the Corporation by at least three recognized dealers in U.S. 
             Government securities selected by the Corporation.

                 (6)  The Treasury Bill Rate, the Ten Year Constant Matu-
             rity Rate and the Thirty Year Constant Maturity Rate shall each 
             be rounded to the nearest five hundredths of a percentage point.

                 (7)  The amount of dividends per share payable for each 
             dividend period shall be computed by dividing the Applicable 
             Rate for such dividend period by four and applying such rate 
             against the $50 stated value per share of the shares of this 
             Series B, rounding to the nearest cent.  The amount of dividends 
             payable for the dividend payment period from the date of 
             original issue to and including July 31, 1987 or any period 
             shorter than a full dividend payment period shall be computed on 
             the basis of 30-day months, a 360-day year and the actual number 
             of days elapsed in the period.

                 (8)  The Applicable Rate with respect to each Quarterly 
             Dividend Period will be calculated as promptly as practicable by 
             the Corporation according to the appropriate method described 
             herein.  The mathematical accuracy of each such calculation 
             will be confirmed in writing by independent accountants of 
             recognized standing.  The Corporation will cause notice of the 
             Applicable Rate for the then current Quarterly Dividend Period 
             to be mailed to holders of shares of this Series B with the 
             dividend payment checks for the preceding Quarterly Dividend 
             Period, or, if such notice is not practicable, will cause notice 
             of the Applicable Rate to be published as soon thereafter as 
             practicable in a newspaper of general circulation in New York 
             City.

                 (9)  For purposes of this Section (a), the term

                      (i)  `Special Securities' shall mean securities 
                 which can, at the option of the holder, be surrendered at 
                 face value in payment of any federal estate tax or which 
                 provide tax benefits to the holder and are priced to reflect 
                 such tax benefits or which were originally issued at a deep 
                 or substantial discount;

                      (ii) `Ten Year Average Yield' shall mean the average 
                 yield to maturity for actively traded marketable U.S. 
                 Treasury fixed interest rate securities (adjusted to 
                 constant maturities of ten years); and

                      (iii)    `Thirty Year Average Yield' shall mean the av-
                 erage yield to maturity for actively traded marketable U.S. 
                 Treasury fixed interest rate securities (adjusted to 
                 constant maturities of 30 years).

                 (10) No dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for 
             payment on any series of Preferred Stock or any class of capital 
             stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends, on a parity 
             with or junior to this Series B for any period unless full 
             cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are 
             declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the 
             payment thereof set apart forpayment on this Series B for all 
             past dividend payment periods.  When full cumulative dividends 
             for all past dividend periods are not paid or provided for, as 
             aforesaid, upon the shares of this Series B and any other series 
             of Preferred Stock and any other class of capital stock of the 
             Corporation ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with this 
             Series B (herein referred to as "Dividend Parity Stock"), all 
             dividends declared upon shares of this Series B and any other 
             Dividend Parity Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the 
             amount of dividends declared per share on this Series B and all 
             other Dividend Parity Stock shall in all cases bear to each 
             other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the 
             shares of this Series B and such other Dividend Parity Stock 
             bear to each other.  Holders of shares of this Series B shall 
             not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, 
             property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends, as 
             herein provided, on this Series B.  No interest or sum of money 
             in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any dividend 
             payment or payments on this Series B which may have accumulated 
             or be in arrears.

                 (11) So long as any shares of this Series B are outstand-
             ing, no dividend, other than a dividend in Common Stock or in 
             any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to this Series 
             B as to dividends and upon liquidation and other than as 
             provided in paragraph (10) of this Section (a), shall be 
             declared or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other 
             distribution be declared or made upon the Common Stock or upon 
             any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a 
             parity with this Series B as to dividends or upon liquidation, 
             nor shall any Common Stock nor any other stock of the 
             Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity with this Series B 
             as to dividends or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or 
             otherwise acquired 
                                    -18-

             for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made 
             available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of 
             any such stock) by the Corporation or any subsidiary thereof 
             (except by conversion into or exchange for stock of the 
             Corporation ranking junior to this Series B as to dividends and 
             upon liquidation) unless, in each case, full cumulative 
             dividends on all outstanding shares of this Series B shall have 
             been paid for all past dividend payment periods.

             (b) Redemption.

                 (1)  The shares of this Series B shall not be redeemable 
             prior to May 1, 1992.  On and after May 1, 1992, the 
             Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of this Series B, 
             as a whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 
             days' notice by mail, at a redemption price (i) in the case of 
             redemption on or after May 1, 1992 and prior to May 1, 1995, of 
             $51.50 per share and (ii) in the case of a redemption occurring 
             on or after May 1, 1995, of $50 per share, plus, in each case, 
             all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for 
             redemption.

                 (2)  In the event that fewer than all the outstanding shares 
             of this Series B are to be redeemed as permitted by this Section 
             (b), the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by 
             the Board of Directors and the shares to be redeemed shall be 
             determined by lot orpro rata as may be determined by the Board 
             of Directors or by such other method as may be approved by the 
             Board of Directors to conform to any rule or regulation of any 
             stock exchange upon which the shares of this Series B may at the 
             time be listed.

                 (3)  Notice of any redemption of shares of this Series B, 
             specifying the date fixed for redemption (herein referred to as 
             the "Redemption Date") and place of redemption, shall be given 
             by first class mail mailed to each holder of record of the 
             shares to be redeemed, at his address of record, not more than 
             60 nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date; if less 
             than all the shares owned by such shareholder are then to be 
             redeemed, the notice shall also specify the number of shares 
             thereof which are to be redeemed.

                 (4)  Notice of redemption of shares of this Series B having 
             been given as provided in paragraph (3) of this Section (b), 
             unless default be made in the payment in full of the redemption 
             price and all accrued and unpaid dividends to the Redemption 
             Date, dividends on the shares called for redemption shall cease 
             to accrue at the Redemption Date, and all rights of the holders 
             of such shares as shareholders of the Corporation by reason 
             of the ownership of such shares shall cease on the Redemption 
             Date, except the right to receive the amount payable upon 
             redemption of such shares, without interest thereon, on 
             presentation and surrender of the respective certificates 
             representing such shares, and such shares shall not after the 
             Redemption Date be deemed to be outstanding.  In case fewer than 
             all the shares 
                                    -19-

             represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new 
             certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares 
             without cost to the holder thereof.

                 (5)  Any shares of this Series B which shall at any time 
             have been redeemed shall, after such redemption, have the status 
             of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without 
             designation as to series until such shares are once more 
             designated as part of a particular series by the Board of 
             Directors.

                 (6)  In the event that full cumulative dividends for all 
             past dividend payment periods on shares of this Series B have 
             not been paid, no shares of this Series B shall be redeemed 
             unless all outstanding shares of this Series B are 
             simultaneously redeemed, and neither the Corporation nor any 
             subsidiary thereof shall purchase or otherwise acquire any 
             shares of this Series B; provided, however, that the foregoing 
             shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition of shares of this 
             Series B pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the 
             same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of this Series 
             B.

                 (7)  Shares of this Series B are not subject or entitled to 
             the benefit of a sinking fund.

             (c) Conversion or Exchange.  The holders of shares of this 
        Series B shall not have any rights to convert such shares into or 
        exchange such shares for shares of Common Stock of the Corporation or 
        any other stock of the Corporation.

             (d) Preemptive Rights.  Shares of this Series B are not entitled 
        to any preemptive rights.

             (e) Voting.  Except as required by law, the shares of this 
        Series B shall not have any voting powers, either general or special, 
        except as provided in the following paragraphs (1) through (3):

                 (1)  If at the time of any annual meeting of shareholders of 
             the Corporation for the election of directors, the 
             Corporation shall have failed to pay full cumulative dividends 
             on the shares of this Series B for six dividend payment periods, 
             whether or not consecutive, or shall fail to pay in full such 
             dividends, if any, as may accumulate on any other series of 
             Preferred Stock for a period of 18 months (referred to herein as 
             a "Dividend Payment Default"), the number of directors of the 
             Corporation shall be increased by two and the holders of all 
             outstanding series of Preferred Stock in respect of which such a 
             default in payment of dividends as described hereinabove exists, 
             voting as a single class without regard to series, will be 
             entitled to elect such additional two directors until full cumu-
             lative dividends for all past dividend payment periods on all 
             series of Preferred Stock have been paid or declared and set 
             apart for payment.  If and when full cumulative dividends upon 
             all series of Preferred Stock for all past dividend payment 
             periods shall have been paid or declared and set apart for 
             payment, the holders of Preferred Stock shall be divested of the 
             foregoing 
                                    -20-
<PAGE>             
             special voting right, subject to revesting in the event of each 
             and every subsequent Dividend Payment Default.  Upon the 
             termination of each such special voting right, the term of 
             office of each director elected by the holders of shares of 
             Preferred Stock in respect of which a default exists in the 
             payment of dividends as described hereinabove (herein referred 
             to as a `Preferred Director') pursuant to such special voting 
             right shall forthwith terminate and the number of directors 
             constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced by two.  
             Any Preferred Director may be removed by, and shall not be 
             removed except by, the vote of the holders of record of the out-
             standing shares of Preferred Stock in respect of which such a 
             default exists, voting together as a single class without regard 
             to series, at a meeting of the shareholders, or of the holders 
             of shares of such Preferred Stock, called for the purpose.  So 
             long as a Dividend Payment Default shall continue (A) any 
             vacancy in the office of a Preferred Director may be filled 
             (except as provided in the following clause (B)) by an 
             instrument in writing signed by the remaining Preferred Director 
             and filed with the Corporation and (B) in the case of the 
             removal of any Preferred Director, the vacancy may be filled by 
             the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Preferred 
             Stock in respect of which such a default exists, voting 
             together as a single class without regard to series, at the same 
             meeting at which such removal shall be voted or a subsequent 
             meeting.  Each director appointed as aforesaid by the remaining 
             Preferred Director shall be deemed, for all purposes hereof, to 
             be a Preferred Director.

                 (2)  Unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater 
             number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of 
             the holders of at least 66-2/3% of all of the shares of this 
             Series B at the time outstanding given in person or by proxy, 
             either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for the 
             purpose, on which matter the holders of shares of this Series B 
             shall vote together as a separate class, shall be necessary to 
             authorize, effect or validate any amendment, alteration or 
             repeal of any of the provisions of the Restated Certificate of 
             Incorporation of the Corporation or of any certificate 
             amendatory or supplemental thereto which amendment, alteration 
             or repeal would, if effected, adversely affect the preferences, 
             rights, powers or privileges of this Series B other than any 
             such amendment or alteration subject to paragraph (3) of this 
             Section (e).

                 (3)  Unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater 
             number of shares shall then be required by law, the consent of 
             the holders of at least a majority of all of the shares of this 
             Series B and all other series of Preferred Stock ranking on a 
             parity with this Series B either as to the dividends or upon 
             liquidation, at the time outstanding, given in person or by 
             proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for 
             the purpose, on which matter the holders of shares of this 
             Series B and such other series of Preferred Stock shall vote 
             together as a single class without regard to series, shall be 
             necessary to issue, authorize or increase the authorized 
             amount of any class of capital stock of the Corporation or 
             series of 
                                    -21-
<PAGE>             
             Preferred Stock ranking prior to the shares of this Series B as 
             to dividends or upon liquidation or the creation or 
             authorization of any obligation or security convertible into or 
             evidencing the right to purchase any such shares.

             (f) Liquidation Rights.

                 (1)  Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the 
             Corporation, the holders of the shares of this Series B shall 
             be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation, 
             before any payment or distribution shall be made on the 
             Common Stock or on any other stock of the Corporation ranking 
             junior to this Series B upon liquidation, the amount of $50 per 
             share, plus a sum equal to all dividends accrued on such shares 
             (whether or not earned or declared) and unpaid to the date of 
             final distribution.  The sale, conveyance, exchange or 
             transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other 
             consideration) of all or substantially all the property and 
             assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed a dissolution, liq-
             uidation or winding up of the Corporation for the purposes of 
             this Section (f), nor shall the merger or consolidation of the 
             Corporation into or with any other corporation or association or 
             the merger or consolidation of any other corporation or 
             association into or with the Corporation, be deemed to be a 
             dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation for 
             the purposes of this Section (f).

                 (2)  After the payment in cash (in New York Clearing House 
             funds or its equivalent) to the holders of the shares of this 
             Series B of the full preferential amounts for the shares of this 
             Series B, the holders of this Series B as such shall have no 
             right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

                 (3)  In the event the assets of the Corporation available 
             for distribution to the holders of shares of this Series B 
             upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the 
             Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be 
             insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders 
             are entitled pursuant to paragraph (1) of this Section (f), no 
             distribution shall be made on account of any shares of any other 
             series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock of the 
             Corporation ranking on a parity with the shares of this Series B 
             upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless 
             proportionate amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of 
             this Series B, ratably, in proportion to the full amounts to 
             which holders of all such shares which are on a parity with the 
             shares of this Series B are respectively entitled upon such 
             dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

                 (4)  Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the 
             Corporation, the holders of shares of this Series B then 
             outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of 
             the Corporation available for distribution to its 
             shareholders all amounts to which such holders are entitled pur-
             suant to paragraph (1) of this Section (f) before any payment 
             shall be 
                                    -22-

             made to the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or any 
             class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to this 
             Series B upon liquidation.

             (g) For purposes of this amendment, any stock of any series or 
             class of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank:

                 (1)  prior to the shares of this Series B, as to dividends 
             or upon liquidation, if the holders of such series or class 
             shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts 
             distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the 
             Corporation, as the case may be, in preference or priority to 
             the holders of shares of this Series B;

                 (2)  on a parity with shares of this Series B, as to 
             dividends or upon liquidation, whether or not the dividend 
             rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation 
             prices per share or sinking fund provisions, if any, be 
             different from those of this Series B, if the holders of such 
             stock shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of 
             amounts distributable upon the dissolution, liquidation or 
             winding up of the Corporation, as the case may be, in proportion 
             to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, 
             without preference or priority, one over the other, as between 
             the holders of such stock and the holders of shares of this 
             Series B; and 
                 (3)  junior to shares of this Series B, as to dividends or 
             upon liquidation, if such stock shall be Common Stock or if 
             the holders of shares of this Series B shall be entitled to 
             receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon 
             dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, as 
             the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of 
             shares of such series or class.

    the manner and under the condition fixed by resolution of the Board of 
    Directors prior to the issue thereof, secured or not secured, upon the 
    real and personal or other property of the Corporation, or any part 
    thereof, provided that a majority of the whole Board of Directors 
    concur therein by resolution or in writing.

    two-thirds of the shares issued and outstanding at any annual or special 
    meeting of shareholders duly called for that purpose, to sell, assign, 
    transfer or otherwise dispose of all the rights, franchises and property 
    of the Corporation as an entirety; and any such sale may be wholly or 
    partly in consideration of the bonds, mortgages, debenture obligations, 
                                    -25-

    securities or evidences of indebtedness, or shares of the capital 
    stock, of any corporation or corporations of any state, territory or 
    foreign country, formed or to be formed for the purpose of purchasing the 
    same.

        C.   To loan money to, or guarantee an obligation of, or otherwise 
    assist any officer or other employee of the Corporation or of any 
    subsidiary, including an officer or employee who is also a director of 
    the Corporation, whenever, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, 
    such loan, guarantee, or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit 
    the Corporation.

        D.   To designate three (3) or more of their number to constitute an 
    executive committee, which committee shall for the time being and 
    subject to the control and direction of the Board of Directors have and 
    exercise all the powers of the Board of Directors which may be lawfully 
    delegated for the management of the business and affairs of the Corpora-
    tion, and shall have power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to be 
    affixed to all papers which may require it.

    6.  This Restated Certificate of Incorporation is to become effective as 
of July 1, 1988.  

    7.  Except to the extent prohibited by law, no Director or officer of the 
Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders 
for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Corporation or its 
shareholders, provided that a Director or officer shall not be relieved from 
liability for any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (a) in breach 
of such person's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (b) 
not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law or (c) resulting 
in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit.  Neither the 
amendment or repeal of this Article 7, nor the adoption of any provision of 
this Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article 7, 
shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article 7 in respect of any 
matter which occurred, or any cause of action, suit or claim which but for 
this Article 7 would have accrued or arisen, prior to such amendment, repeal 
or adoption.

    8.  Except as may be otherwise provided in respect of directors to be 
elected by the holders of Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, by the 
terms of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing 
for any series of Preferred Stock adopted pursuant to the provisions of 
Article 3 hereof, the Board of Directors shall be classified, with respect to 
the time for which directors shall hold office, into three classes, as 
determined by the Board of Directors, each as nearly equal in number as 
possible.  At the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation at 
which this Article 8 is adopted, the first such class of directors shall be 
elected for a term expiring upon the next following annual meeting of 
shareholders and upon the election and qualification of their respective 
successors, the second such class of directors shall be elected for a term 
expiring upon the second following annual meeting of shareholders and upon 
the election and qualification of their respective successors, and the third 
such class of directors shall be elected for a term expiring upon the third 
following annual meeting of shareholders and upon the election and 
qualification of their respective successors.  At each annual meeting of 
shareholders following the annual meeting at which this Article 8 is adopted, 
directors of the class of directors whose term expires at such annual meeting 
                                    -26-
<PAGE>
shall be elected for a term expiring upon the third following annual meeting 
of shareholders and upon the election and qualification of their respective 
successors.  Whenever the number of directors constituting the whole Board of 
Directors is changed, except as may be otherwise provided in respect of 
directors to be elected by the holders of Preferred Stock, or any series 
thereof, by the terms of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of 
Directors providing for any series of Preferred Stock adopted pursuant to the 
provisions of Article 3 hereof, any increase or decrease in the number of 
directors shall be apportioned by the Board of Directors among the three 
classes so as to maintain all the classes as equal in number as possible, and 
each director so apportioned to a class shall hold office until the next 
annual meeting of shareholders at which directors of the class to which such 
director was apportioned are to be elected and until such director's 
successor shall have been elected and qualified; provided, however, that no 
decrease in the number of directors shall effect the then-current term of any 
director then in office.  

        A director may be disqualified from office as required by law or 
under any applicable rules, regulations or orders of any federal or state 
regulatory authority or by provisions of general applicability in the 
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws adopted prior to such 
director's election.

        Any action by the Board of Directors or shareholders creating one or 
more vacancies on the Board of Directors by increasing the authorized number 
of directors shall be effective only if such action has received the 
affirmative vote, in the case of the Board of Directors, of eighty percent 
(80%) or more of the directors then holding office or, in the case of the 
shareholders, of eighty percent (80%) or more of the combined voting power of 
the then outstanding shares of all classes and series of stock of the 
Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting 
together as a single class.  [Article 8 added by Amendment dated May 15, 
1990, filed May 16, 1990]

    9.  Subject to the rights of the holders of shares of any series of 
Preferred Stock or any other class of stock or series thereof having a 
preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, any 
action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders of the 
Corporation must be effected exclusively either at a duly call annual or 
special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation or by the unanimous (but 
no less than unanimous) written consent of the shareholders.  [Article 9 
added by Amendment dated May 15, 1990, filed May 16, 1990]

    10.      In addition to any requirements of law and any other provision 
of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or any 
resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for any series 
of Preferred Stock adopted pursuant to Article 3 hereof (and notwithstanding 
the fact that approval by a lesser vote may be permitted by law, any other 
Article, or other provisions hereof or any such resolution or resolutions), 
the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) or more of the 
combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of all classes and 
series of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election 
of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, 
alter or repeal, or adopted any provision or take action inconsistent with, 
this Article 10 or Articles 8 or 9 hereof.  [Article 10 added by Amendment 
dated May 15, 1990, filed May 16, 1990]
