party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the Association) by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Association or is or was serving at
the request of the Association as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, estate or other
enterprise or was acting in furtherance of the Association's business shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Association; provided, however, no indemnification shall be given to a person
adjudged guilty of, or liable for, willful misconduct, gross neglect of duty, or
criminal acts or where there is a final order assessing civil money penalties or
requiring affirmative action by such person in the form of payments to the
Association. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, or its equivalent, shall not of itself, create a presumption
that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Association.

            (4) Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the Association (such action or suit being known as a "derivative
proceeding") to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Association or is or was
serving at the request of the Association as a director, officer, employee,
fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
estate or other enterprise shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Association; provided, however, that no indemnification shall be given where
there is a final order assessing civil money penalties or requiring affirmative
action by such person in the form of payments to the Association; and provided
further that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to
<PAGE>
 
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Association, unless and only to
the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

            (5) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in (3) or (4) of this Article or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.

            (6) Any indemnification under (3) or (4) of this Article (unless
ordered by a court) shall be made by the Association only as authorized in the
specific case upon a reasonable determination that indemnification of the
director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in (3) or (4) of this
Article. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such
action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even
if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
legal counsel in written opinion, or (c) by the stockholders.

            (7) Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit
or proceeding may be paid by the Association in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided in (6)
of this Article (i) if the Board of Directors determines, in writing, that (1)
the director, officer, employee or agent has a substantial likelihood or
prevailing on the merits; (2) in the event the director, officer, employee or
agent does not prevail, he or she will have the financial capability or
reimburse the Association; and (3) payment of expenses by the Association will
not adversely affect its safety and soundness; and (ii) upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay
such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be
indemnified by the Association as authorized in this Article.

            (8) The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under
any By-Law, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office and shall continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors, successors in interest, and administrators of
such a person.

     SEVENTH. This Association shall have succession from the date of its
organization certificate until such time as it be dissolved by the act of its
shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the banking laws of the United
States, or until its franchise becomes forfeited by reason of violation of law,
or until terminated by either a general or a special act of Congress, or until
its affairs be placed in the hands of a receiver and finally wound up by him.

     EIGHTH. The Board of Directors of this Association, or any three or more
shareholders owning, in the aggregate, not less than ten per centum of the stock
of this Association, may call a special meeting of shareholders at any time:
Provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by law, not less than ten days
prior to the date fixed for any such meeting, a notice of the time, place and
purpose of the meeting shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
all shareholders of record of this Association. These Articles of Association
may be amended at any regular or special meeting of the Shareholders by the
<PAGE>
 
affirmative vote of the shareholders owning at least a majority of the stock of
this Association, subject to the provisions of the banking laws of the United
States. The notice of any shareholders' meeting, at which an amendment to the
Articles of Association of this Association is to be considered shall be given
as hereinabove set forth.

be to examine, at least once in each period of eighteen months, the affairs of
each branch as well as the head office of the association, count its cash, and

condition, and to recommend to the board such changes in the manner of doing
business, etc., as shall seem to be desirable, the result of which examination
shall be reported in writing to the board at the next regular meeting
thereafter, provided that the appointment of such committee and the examinations
by it may be dispensed with if the board shall cause such examination to be made
and reported to the board by accountants approved by it.
