Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     The Company's actual results of future operations may differ from those 
set forth in certain forward-looking statements contained herein. Refer to 
further discussion under the heading "Forward Looking Statements".

     The Company's reported first quarter diluted earnings per share were a 
record 41 cents, up 14% from the 36 cents earned in the first quarter of 1998. 
Net income for the first quarter was a record $316 million, up 12% from the 
$284 million earned in the same period last year.

     Substantial revenue growth in fee based businesses, continued emphasis on 
expense control, and ongoing capital management produced superior earnings 
performance in the first quarter of 1999. Significant new business and active 
markets worldwide drove securities servicing fees up 27%. Trust and investment 
grew 16% benefiting from strong investment performance, new business wins, and 
record U.S. equity markets. As a result, fee based revenue and noninterest 
income contributed 59% of revenues, reflecting continued concentration on fee 
based businesses. 

     In securities servicing, revenue growth was led by global custody, mutual 
funds, securities lending, ADRs and execution services. Domestic and global 
custody continued to gain market share and momentum from new business wins as 
assets under custody grew by 27% from a year ago reaching $5.2 trillion at 
quarter end. Trust and investment's results were due to strong investment 
performance which attracted new business. Continued focus on cost control was 
evident, as noninterest expense for the quarter was flat compared with the 
fourth quarter of 1998 and the efficiency ratio improved to 50.3%.  As part of 
its capital management program, the Company repurchased 9 million shares under 
its 18 million share buyback authorization.

     Return on average common equity for the first quarter of 1999 was 24.48% 
exceeded only by the record 24.99% in the first quarter of 1998. Return on 
average assets for the first quarter of 1999 was 1.94% compared with 1.93% in 
the first quarter of 1998.

     Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the first quarter 
decreased to $436 million from $451 million in the fourth quarter of 1998, as 
effective balance sheet management reduced levels of liquid deposits and 
investments associated with the securities servicing business.

     Fees from the Company's securities servicing businesses reached $291 
million for the first quarter, up 27% compared with the corresponding period 
of the prior year. All areas contributed to strong internal growth of 16% with 
international activities including global custody, securities lending, and 
ADRs especially strong. 

     In cash processing, revenues from cash management were up 14% driven by 
continued cross selling to the Company's securities servicing customers.  
Trade finance revenues were up 13% from a year ago as recovery in world 
markets continues.  Fees from funds transfer grew by 6% from the previous 
year, the result of continued market share gains as CHIPS payment systems 
volumes were flat for the quarter.  Overall, cash processing fees grew by 10% 
from a year ago reaching $69 million.

     Trust and investment fees were $58 million for the quarter, an increase 
of 16% over last year driven by strong results from short term money 
management and portfolio transition services. Foreign exchange and other 
trading revenues were $42 million compared with $51 million in the fourth 
quarter of 1998 and $46 million last year.  Declines were due to reduced 
levels of customer trading. 


<PAGE> 10

     Tangible diluted earnings per share (earnings before the amortization of 
goodwill and intangibles) were 43 cents per share in 1999, up 13% from $0.38 
cents per share in the first quarter of 1998. On the same basis, tangible 
return on average common equity was 37.28% in 1999 compared with 37.72% in 
1998; and tangible return on average assets was 2.11% in 1999 compared with 
2.10% in 1998.

     Average diluted shares outstanding were 779 million for the first 
quarter, down from the 782 million in the fourth quarter of 1998 and 781 
million in the first quarter a year ago as a result of the Company's stock 
buyback programs. 

CAPITAL

     The Company's estimated Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios remained 
strong at 7.87% and 11.91% at March 31, 1999 compared with 7.89% and 11.90% at 
December 31, 1998, and 7.25% and 11.43% at March 31, 1998. Tangible common 
equity as a percent of total assets was 5.88% at March 31, 1999 compared with 
6.25% at December 31, 1998 and 5.68% one year ago. The leverage ratio was 
7.68% at March 31, 1999 compared with 7.46% at December 31, 1998 and 7.33% one 
year ago.

</TABLE>

     Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $436 million in the 
first quarter of 1999 compared with $451 million in the fourth quarter of 1998 
and $404 million in the first quarter of 1998. The net interest rate spread 
was 2.29% in the first quarter of 1999, compared with 2.22% in the fourth 
quarter of 1998 and 2.24% one year ago. The net yield on interest-earning 
assets was 3.18% compared with 3.20% in the fourth quarter of 1998 and 3.33% 
in last year's first quarter.

     The decrease in net interest income and the improved net interest rate 
spread from the fourth quarter were due to aggressive balance sheet 
management, which reduced highly liquid, lower yielding assets generated by 
the Company's securities servicing businesses. The decline in the net interest 
rate yield from the first and fourth quarters of 1998 was primarily due to the 
Company's share repurchase program. 

     Interest income would have been increased by $3 million in both the first 
quarters of 1999 and 1998 if loans on nonaccrual status at March 31, 1999 and 
1998 had been performing for the entire quarter.

     The Company manages trading risk through a system of position limits, a 
value at risk (VAR) methodology, stop loss advisory triggers, and other market 
sensitivity measures. Risk is monitored and reported to senior management by 
an independent unit on a daily basis. The VAR methodology captures, based on 
certain assumptions, the potential overnight pre-tax dollar loss from adverse 
changes in fair values of all trading positions. The calculation assumes a one 
day holding period for most instruments, utilizes a 99% confidence level, and 
incorporates the non-linear characteristics of options. This methodology does 
not attempt to evaluate risk created from extraordinary financial, economic or 
other occurrences, and any risk evaluation system has judgmental aspects. 

     The following table indicates the calculated VAR amounts for the trading 
portfolio for the periods indicated. During these periods, the daily trading 
loss did not exceed the calculated VAR amounts on any given day.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

     Continued adherence to expense control resulted in total noninterest 
expense for the quarter of $509 million, flat with $507 million in the fourth 
quarter of 1998. The increase of 9% from $467 million in the same period last 
year was principally due to acquisitions. Noninterest expense for the first 
quarter included $6 million related to making computer systems Year 2000 
compliant compared with $8 million in last year's fourth and first quarters. 

     The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 1999 was 50.3% compared 
with 50.8% in the fourth quarter and 50.2% for the first quarter of 1998. 

     The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1999 was 34.9% compared 
with 36.1% last year.

     Nonperforming assets totaled $222 million at March 31, 1999, compared 
with $193 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $29 million. Commercial 
real estate nonperforming loans declined primarily due to the sale of a 

<PAGE> 13


property in New Jersey.  A $44 million loan to a mortgage bank and $25 million 
of Russian loans became nonperforming in the first quarter of 1999.

     At March 31, 1999, impaired loans (nonaccrual loans over $1 million) 
aggregated $174 million, of which $145 million exceeded their fair value by 
$59 million. Impaired loans at March 31, 1998, totaled $145 million, of which 
$115 million exceeded their fair value by $19 million. For the first quarters 
of 1999 and 1998, the average amounts of impaired loans were $160 million and 
$148 million. Interest income (cash received) of $42 thousand was received on 
the impaired loans in the first quarter of 1999, while $411 thousand was 
received during the first quarter of 1998.

CREDIT LOSS PROVISION AND NET CHARGE-OFFS

     The provision for credit losses was $15 million in the first quarter of 
1999 compared with $5 million in the first quarter of 1998. The increase in 
the provision reflects the increased level of charge-offs and nonperforming 
loans

     The allowance for credit losses was $632 million, or 1.59% of loans at 
March 31, 1999 compared with $636 million, or 1.66% of loans at December 31, 
1998 and $645 million, or 1.76% of loans at March 31, 1998. The ratio of the 
allowance to nonperforming assets was 284.3% at March 31, 1999 compared with 
328.9% at December 31, 1998 and 321.2% at March 31, 1998.

     Based on an evaluation of individual credits, historical credit losses, 
and global economic factors, the Company has allocated its allowance for 
credit losses as follows:

                                         3/31/99    12/31/98    3/31/98

     Such an allocation is inherently judgmental, and the entire allowance for 
credit losses is available to absorb credit losses regardless of the nature of 
the loss. The increase in the allowance allocated to domestic commercial and 
industrial loans reflects the increase in nonperforming loans and other 
economic factors.

SEGMENT PROFITABILITY 

Segment Data

     Effective January 1, 1999, the Company has adopted a new accounting 
pronouncement requiring disclosure about the Company's segments based on a 
management approach. The Company has an internal information system that 
produces performance data for its four segments along product and service 
lines. 

     The Trust, and Securities and Cash Processing segment provides a broad 
array of fee based services. Trust includes personal trust and investment 
management. Securities servicing includes services to both institutional 
issuers and investors. Cash processing products primarily relate to funds 
transfer, deposit services and trade finance.

     The Corporate Banking segment provides lending services, including asset 
based financing, to domestic and international commercial enterprises.

     The Retail Banking segment includes consumer lending, residential 
mortgage lending, and retail deposit services. 

     The Financial Markets segment includes trading, investing and leasing 
activities, and treasury services to other segments.

     The Company's segment data has been determined on an internal management 
basis of accounting, other than the generally accepted accounting principles 
used for consolidated financial reporting. These measurement principles are 
designed to ensure that reported results of the segments track their economic 
performance. Segment results are subject to restatement whenever improvements 
are made in the measurement principles or organizational changes are made. 

     The measure of revenues and profit or loss by operating segment has been 
adjusted to present segment data on a taxable equivalent basis. The provision 
for credit losses allocated to each reportable segment is based on 
management's judgment as to average credit losses that will be incurred in the 
operations of the segment over a credit cycle of a period of years. 
Management's judgment includes the following factors among others: historical 
charge-off experience and the volume, composition and growth of the loan 
portfolio. This method is different from that required under generally 
accepted accounting principles as it anticipates future losses which are not 
yet probable and therefore not recognizable under generally accepted 
accounting principles. Assets and liabilities are match funded. Support and 
other indirect expenses are allocated to segments based on general guidelines.

     The segments contributed to the Company's profitability as follows:

* - Reconciling items for net interest income primarily relate to the 
recording of interest income on a taxable equivalent basis, reallocation of 
capital and the funding of goodwill. Reconciling items for noninterest income 
primarily relate to the sale of a building in 1998. Reconciling items for 
noninterest expense include $26 million and $24 million of goodwill 
amortization in the first quarters of 1999 and 1998, and corporate overhead. 
The adjustment to the provision for credit losses reflects the difference 
between the aggregate of the credit provision over a credit cycle for the 
reportable segments and the Company's recorded provision. The reconciling 
items for average assets consist of goodwill and other intangible assets.

Segment Highlights   

Trust, and Securities and Cash Processing
- -----------------------------------------

     In the Trust, and Securities and Cash Processing segment, noninterest 
income increased to $447 million from $374 million. All of the Company's 
businesses have shown strong internal growth with global custody, mutual 
funds, securities lending, ADRs, and execution services performing 
particularly well. Strong internal growth across all areas reached 16%, with 
remaining growth coming from acquisitions. Domestic and global custody 
continued to gain market share and momentum from new business wins as assets 
under custody grew by 27% from a year ago reaching $5.2 trillion at quarter 
end. Securities servicing fees increased to $291 million as compared with $230 
million in the first quarter of 1998. Fee revenues from issuer services grew 
to $99 million in the first quarter of 1999, up from $87 million in the prior 
year's period. Investment company services increased to $84 million in the 
first quarter of 1999, as compared to $70 million in the first quarter of 
1998. Broker/dealer services in the first quarter of 1999 were $108 million, 
up from $73 million last year. 

     Fees from cash processing in the first quarter of 1999 increased to $69 
million from $63 million in last year's first quarter driven by continued 
cross selling to the Company's securities servicing customers. Trade finance 
revenues were up 13% from a year ago as recovery in world markets continues.  
Fees from funds transfer grew by 6% from the previous year, the result of 
continued markets share gains as CHIPS payment systems volumes were flat for 
the quarter. Fees from trust and investment management grew to $58 million in 
the first quarter of 1999, as compared to $50 million in the first quarter of 
1998, driven by strong results from short term money management and portfolio 
transition services.  

     Net charge-offs in the Trust, and Securities and Cash Processing segment 
were zero in the first quarters of 1999 and 1998. The rise in noninterest 
expense is consistent with the increase in growth as well as the added salary 
and other expenses from acquisitions.


<PAGE> 16


Corporate Banking
- -----------------

     The Corporate Banking segment's net interest income was $161 million in 
the first quarter of 1999, a slight decline from last year's $164 million. In 
the first quarter of 1999, average loans outstanding in the Corporate Banking 
segment increased 8% from the first quarter of last year. 

     The first quarter of 1999 provision for credit losses was $29 million 
compared with $28 million last year. Net charge-offs in the Corporate Banking 
segment were $18 million and $4 million in the first quarters of 1999 and 
1998. The 16% increase in noninterest income to $86 million in the current 
year reflects higher revenues associated with capital markets activities, 
offset by lower income from the Company's offshore banking subsidiaries. 
Noninterest expense increased slightly to $65 million from $63 million. 

Retail Banking
- --------------

     In the Retail Banking segment, net interest income in the first quarter 
of 1999 was $114 million as compared with $126 million in the first quarter of 
1998. Net interest income in the branch banking network has been negatively 
impacted by the decline in the value of noninterest bearing sources of funds 
in a declining rate environment. Noninterest income increased in this same 
period to $21 million from $19 million.  Noninterest expense in the first 
quarter of 1999 was $75 million as compared with $79 in the previous year's 
period. Net charge-offs were $1 million in both the first quarters of 1999 and 
1998. 

Financial Markets
- -----------------

     In the Financial Markets segment, net interest income for the quarter 
increased to $36 million from 1998's $20 million primarily due to increased 
leasing activities. Noninterest income decreased to $49 million in the first 
quarter of 1999 from $57 million in the first quarter of 1998, a 14% decrease 
reflecting decreases in foreign exchange and other trading revenue. Net 
charge-offs were zero in the first quarters of 1999 and 1998. 

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

     The Company's Year 2000 compliance program consists of updating major 
Company-owned application systems, business-area supported systems, and the 
Company's proprietary customer software and evaluating the Year 2000 
compliance efforts of vendors of major vendor-supplied systems. The Company's 
compliance efforts have also focused on assessing the Year 2000 readiness of 
its major service providers, business partners, and borrowers as well as 
contingency planning.

     The Company has divided its major proprietary applications systems into 
three business line groups.  The applications in each group were subjected to 
a four-phase process of assessment, renovation, certification testing, and 
implementation. All critical systems have completed all four phases. Compliant 
versions of substantially all these applications are currently in use. Major 
business-line products are being made available in isolated future-dated 
environments for selected customers to test their interfaces and to assure 
themselves of the Company's compliance.  

     The Company has identified its critical vendor-supplied systems. These 
systems have been internally certified as Year 2000 compliant in accordance 
with the Company's internal certification procedures.

     Remediation of the Company's proprietary customer software has been 
completed. Installation on client desktop computers is expected to be complete 
by July 1999. Customers have been advised of their obligation to assure that 

<PAGE> 17

their environments are compliant in order for the Company's software to 
function correctly during and after the century date change.

     The Company has completed an initial evaluation of its significant 
business partners, including other financial service providers, 
correspondents, counterparties, sub-custodians, vendors and settlement 
agencies, for the purpose of assessing their Year 2000 compliance. The Company 
is currently satisfied with the information it has received concerning the 
progress and Year 2000 readiness programs of each significant third party. The 
Company will continue to monitor the readiness and progress of these parties 
throughout 1999. The Company is prepared to replace service providers that are 
seen as not managing the Year 2000 issue adequately.

     The Company considers Year 2000 readiness in its credit decisions and 
factors this into borrower ratings. Based on a review of significant obligors, 
the Company believes that exposure to obligor Year 2000 problems does not 
present a material risk to the Company. 

     The Company's personal computers and physical facilities considered 
critical to the Company's operations are expected to be upgraded to Year 2000 
readiness by the end of July 1999.

     The Company's contingency plans relating to Year 2000 issues include the 
identification and assessment of the impact of various worst case scenarios on 
the critical operational components for each of the Company's business units. 
The Company is in the process of reviewing the applicability of its current 
contingency plan, which includes creation of command centers, establishment of 
special rapid response technology teams, scheduling availability of key 
personnel, testing and simulation activities, offsite data center facilities, 
and emergency backup power, and expects to complete modifications to the plan 
by June 30, 1999.

     Overall the Company's Year 2000 compliance program is on or ahead of 
schedule to meet the needs of its customers and compliance deadlines defined 
by its regulators. The estimated cost of the Year 2000 project is 
approximately $82 million. In the first quarter of 1999 the Company spent $6 
million on making computer systems Year 2000 compliant.  Total expenses since 
1997 have been $57 million.

     A material Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in, or a 
failure of, certain normal business activities or operations. Such problems 
could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations, 
liquidity and financial condition. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in 
the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 
readiness of suppliers, customers and other business partners, as well as 
companies with which the Company does not have direct business relations, the 
Company is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of the 
Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the Company's results of 
operations, liquidity or financial condition. The Year 2000 compliance program 
is intended to significantly reduce the Company's level of uncertainty about 
the Year 2000 problem and, in particular, about the Year 2000 compliance and 
readiness of its material business partners. The Company believes that, with 
completion of its Year 2000 compliance program as scheduled, the possibility 
of significant interruptions of normal operations should be reduced. However, 
because of the unprecedented nature of this issue, there can be no certainty 
as to its impact.


INTRODUCTION OF THE EURO

     In January 1999, eleven European countries adopted the euro as their 
common legal currency. In the transition period from adoption through December 
31, 2001, commerce may be conducted in either the euro or the former national 
currencies. 

<PAGE> 18

     The Company has adapted its information technology systems and business 
practices to accommodate euro-denominated transactions. The introduction of 
the euro currency may result in increased price transparency in the euro-area 
countries as well as a loss of cross-currency trading in the former national 
currencies, and may ultimately have profound political and financial 
implications. Based on its knowledge at this time, the Company does not, 
anticipate that the introduction of the euro will have a material effect on 
the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The Company or its executive officers and directors on behalf of the 
Company, may from time to time make forward looking statements. Any such 
forward looking statements could be affected by a number of factors that the 
Company is necessarily unable to predict with accuracy, including  future 
changes in interests rates, economic activity, consumer behavior, government 
monetary policy, legislation and regulation, competition, and loan demand. In 
addition, the Company's future results of operations and other forward looking 
statements contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis and elsewhere in 
this Form 10-Q involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including risks 
relating to Year 2000 and the introduction of the Euro (in particular, the 
Year 2000 readiness of third parties with which the Company does business). As 
a result of variations in such factors, actual results may differ materially 
from any forward looking statements. Some of these factors are described 
below. The Company disclaims any obligation to update forward looking 
statements.

Government Monetary Policies

     The Federal Reserve Board has the primary responsibility for monetary 
policy; accordingly, its actions have an important influence on the demand for 
credit and investments and the level of interest rates and thus on the 
earnings of the Company.

Legislation and Regulation

     Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking 
industry are frequently introduced in Congress, in the state legislatures and 
before the various bank regulatory agencies. Such changes could, among other 
things, increase the Company's overhead and capital costs or reduce fees 
charged by the Company or increase competition for banks. The likelihood and 
timing of any such changes and the impact such changes might have on the 
Company and its subsidiaries, however, cannot be determined at this time.

Competition

     The businesses in which the Company operates are very competitive. 
Competition is provided by both unregulated and regulated financial services 
organizations, whose products and services span the local, national, and 
global markets in which the Company conducts operations.

     Savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions actively 
compete for deposits, and money market funds and brokerage houses offer 
deposit-like services. These institutions, as well as consumer and commercial 
finance companies, national retail chains, factors, insurance companies and 
pension trusts, are important competitors for various types of loans. Issuers 
of commercial paper compete actively for funds and reduce demand for bank 
loans. For personal and corporate trust services and investment counseling 
services, insurance companies, investment counseling firms, and other business 
firms and individuals offer active competition. A wide variety of domestic and 
foreign companies compete for processing services.

                      The Bank of New York Company, Inc.
                       As Amended through June 9, 1998

                                   ARTICLE I
                                    OFFICES

     SECTION 1.2. Principal Office.  The principal office of The Bank of New 
York Company, Inc. (hereinafter called the Company) shall be in the City and 
County of New York.

     SECTION 1.2. Other Offices.  The Company may have other offices at such 
other places as the Board of Directors of the Company (hereinafter called the 
Board) may from time to time determine and as shall be legally authorized.

                                    ARTICLE II
                             MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

     SECTION 2.1. Place of Meeting.  Each meeting of the shareholders of the 
Company (hereinafter called the shareholders) shall be held at the principal 
office of the Company or at such other place, within or without the State of 
New York, as shall be specified in the notice of such meeting.

     SECTION 2.2. Annual Meetings.  The annual meeting of the shareholders for 
the election of directors and the transaction of such other business as 
properly may be brought before such meeting shall be held on such date as may 
be designated by the Board from time to time, at such hour as may be specified 
in the notice of such meeting.

     SECTION 2.3. Special Meetings. A special meeting of the shareholders for 
any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by order of the Board or by 
the Chairman of the Board (hereinafter called the Chairman) or, in his 
absence, the President.

     SECTION 2.4. Notice of Meetings.  Notice of each meeting of the 
shareholders shall be in writing and signed by the Chairman, the President or 
the Secretary.  Such notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which such 
meeting is called and the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, unless it 
is the annual meeting, shall indicate that it is being issued by or at the 
direction of the person or persons calling the meeting.  If, at any meeting, 
action is proposed to be taken which would, if taken, entitle shareholders who 
comply with applicable requirements of law to receive payment for their 
shares, the notice of such meeting shall include a statement of that purpose 
and to that effect.  Except as otherwise provided by law, a copy of the notice 
of any meeting shall be given, personally or by mail, not less than ten nor 
more than fifty days before such meeting, to each shareholder entitled to vote 
at such meeting.  If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to have been given 
when deposited in the United States mail, with postage thereon prepaid, 
directed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the record of 
shareholders of the Company, or, if he shall have filed with the Secretary a 
written request that notices to him be 


<PAGE> 2

mailed to some other address, then directed to him at such other address.  
Unless the Board fixes a new record date for an adjourned meeting of the 
shareholders, notice thereof need not be given if the time and place to which 
the meeting is adjourned are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment 
is taken.  Any previously scheduled meeting of the shareholders may be 
postponed, and (unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides) 
any special meeting of the shareholders may be canceled, by resolution of the 
Board of Directors upon public notice given prior to the time previously 
scheduled for such meeting of shareholders.

     SECTION 2.5. Waiver of Notice.  Notice of any meeting of the shareholders 
need not be given to any shareholder who submits a signed waiver of notice, in 
person or by proxy, whether before or after the meeting, and the attendance of 
any shareholder at a meeting, in person or by proxy, without protesting prior 
to the conclusion thereof the lack of notice of such meeting, shall constitute 
a waiver of notice thereof by him.

     SECTION 2.6. Quorum.  Except as otherwise provided by law, at all 
meetings of the shareholders the presence, in person or by proxy, of the 
holders of a majority of the shares of the Company entitled to vote thereat 
shall be necessary to constitute, and shall constitute, a quorum for the 
transaction of business.  When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, 
it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any shareholder.  In the 
absence of a quorum at any such meeting or any adjournment or adjournments 
thereof, a majority in voting interest of the shareholders present in person 
or by proxy and entitled to vote at such meeting may adjourn such meeting from 
time to time and from place to place until a quorum shall be present thereat.  
At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business 
may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as 
originally called if a quorum then had been present.

     SECTION 2.7. Organization.  At each meeting of the shareholders, the 
Chairman or, in his absence, the President or, in his absence, such person as 
may be designated by the Board or, in the absence of any of the foregoing, a 
person chosen for the purpose by a majority in voting interest of the 
shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at such 
meeting, shall act as chairman thereof and preside thereat; and the Secretary 
or, in his absence, the person whom the chairman of such meeting shall 
appoint, shall act as secretary of such meeting and keep the minutes thereof.  
The person presiding at the meeting shall establish the rules for the conduct 
of the meeting, including, without limitation, the order of consideration of 
matters to be voted upon by the shareholders.   Except as otherwise provided 
by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, the person 
presiding at the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a 
nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made 
or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth 
in these By-laws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in 
compliance with these By-laws, to declare that such proposal or nomination 
shall be disregarded.

     SECTION 2.8. Voting and Proxies.  Subject to the provisions of Section 
9.5 of these By-laws and except as otherwise provided in this Section or by 
law, every shareholder of record of the Company shall be entitled at every 
meeting of the shareholders to one vote in person or by proxy for every share 
of stock of the Company standing in his name on the record of shareholders.  
The person presiding at the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the 
date 


<PAGE> 3

and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon 
which shareholders will vote at the meeting.

     Treasury shares as of the record date and shares held as of the record 
date by another domestic or foreign corporation of any type or kind, if a 
majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such 
other corporation is held as of the record date by the Company, shall not be 
shares entitled to vote or to be counted in determining the total number of 
outstanding shares.

     Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator, 
committee or other fiduciary, except a trustee, may be voted by him or it, 
either in person or by proxy, without transfer of such shares into his or its 
name.  Shares held by a trustee may be voted by him or it, either in person or 
by proxy, only after the shares have been transferred into his or its name as 
trustee or into the name of his or its nominee.

     Shares standing in the name of another domestic or foreign corporation of 
any type or kind may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the by-laws 
of such corporation may provide, or, in the absence of such provision, as the 
board of directors of such corporation may determine.

     A shareholder shall not sell his vote or issue a proxy to vote to any 
person for any sum of money or anything of value except as permitted by law.

     Every proxy must be signed by the shareholder or by his duly authorized 
attorney-in-fact.  No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven 
months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy.  Every 
proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder executing it, 
except as otherwise provided by law.  The authority of the holder of a proxy 
to act shall not be revoked by the incompetence or death of the shareholder 
who executed the proxy unless, before the authority is exercised, written 
notice of an adjudication of such incompetence or of such death is received by 
the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary.

     At all meetings of the shareholders, a quorum being present, all matters, 
except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the 
Company or Section 3.4 of these By-laws, shall be authorized by a majority of 
the votes cast at the meeting by the shareholders present in person or by 
proxy and entitled to vote thereon.

     Unless demanded by a shareholder or shareholders present in person or by 
proxy at any meeting of the shareholders and owning not less than ten percent 
in voting interest of the outstanding stock of the Company entitled to be 
voted thereat, or unless so directed by the chairman of the meeting, the vote 
thereat on any question need not be by ballot, except in the case of the 
election of directors.

     A list of shareholders as of the record date for the meeting, certified 
by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary responsible for its preparation or 
by a transfer agent for the stock of


<PAGE> 4


the Company, shall be produced at any meeting of the shareholders upon the 
request thereat or prior thereto of any shareholder.  If the right to vote at 
any meeting is challenged, the inspectors appointed pursuant to Section 2.9 of 
these By-laws, or the person presiding thereat, shall require such list of 
shareholders to be produced as evidence of the right of the persons challenged 
to vote at such meeting, and all persons who appear from such list to be 
shareholders entitled to vote thereat may vote at such meeting.

     SECTION 2.9. Inspectors.  The Board, in advance of any meeting of the 
shareholders, may appoint one or more persons to act as inspectors (with 
respect to any election to be held, or otherwise) at the meeting or any 
adjournment thereof.  If inspectors are not so appointed, the person presiding 
at the meeting of the shareholders may, and if so requested by a shareholder 
entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint one or more persons to act as 
inspectors.  In case any person appointed as an inspector fails to appear or 
act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board in advance of 
the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat.  Each 
inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and 
sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting 
with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

     At such meeting the inspectors shall determine the number of shares 
outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the 
meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, and 
shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges 
and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate 
all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such other acts 
as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all 
shareholders.  On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any 
shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the inspectors shall make a report in 
writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them and execute a 
certificate of any fact found by them.  Any report or certificate made by them 
shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the vote as certified 
by them.

     SECTION 2.10. Stockholder Proposals and Nominations.

     (a)  Annual or Special Meetings of Shareholders. At any annual or special 
meeting of shareholders, proposals by shareholders and persons nominated for 
election as directors by shareholders shall be considered only if advance 
notice thereof has been timely given as provided herein and such proposals or 
nominations are otherwise proper for consideration under applicable law and 
the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company.  Notice of any 
proposal to be presented by any shareholder or of the name of any person to be 
nominated by any shareholder for election as a director of the Company at any 
meeting of shareholders shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at 
its principal executive office (i) in the case of an annual meeting, not fewer 
than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the date of the meeting (provided that 
with respect to the 1999 annual meeting a proposal submitted prior to November 
30, 1998 for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement shall be deemed 
timely); provided, however, that if the date of the meeting is first publicly 
announced fewer than 100 days prior to the date of the meeting, such advance 
notice shall be given not more than ten days following the earlier of the day 
on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed and public announcement 
was made; and (ii) in the 



<PAGE> 5

case of a special meeting at which directors are to be elected, not later than 
the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on 
which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed and public announcement was 
made.   Any shareholder who gives notice of any such proposal shall deliver 
therewith the text of the proposal to be presented and a brief written 
statement of the reasons why such shareholder favors the proposal and setting 
forth such shareholder's name and address, the number and class of all shares 
of each class of stock of the Company beneficially owned by such shareholder 
and any material interest of such shareholder in the proposal (other than as a 
shareholder generally) and whether such person has received any financial 
assistance, funding or other consideration from any other person in respect of 
the proposal (and the details thereof).  Any shareholder desiring to nominate 
any person for election as a director of the Company shall deliver with such 
notice (i) a statement in writing setting forth the name of the person to be 
nominated, the number and class of all shares of each class of stock of the 
Company beneficially owned by such person, the information regarding such 
person required by paragraphs (a), (e) and (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K 
adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the corresponding 
provisions of any regulation subsequently adopted by the Securities and 
Exchange Commission applicable to the Company), (ii) such person's signed 
consent to serve as a director of the Company if elected, (iii) such 
shareholder's name and address, (iv) a confirmation of the number and class of 
all shares of each class of stock of the Company beneficially owned by such 
shareholder, (v) a confirmation that any governmental approvals required in 
connection with such person's nomination, election or taking office as a 
director of the Company have been obtained by such stockholder and/or nominee, 
as applicable, and are in full force and effect as of the date of submission 
of such notice of nomination and (vi) a statement as to whether such person or 
shareholder received any financial assistance, funding or consideration from 
any other person in respect of the nomination (and the details thereof).  As 
used herein, shares "beneficially owned" shall include all shares that such 
person, together with such person's affiliates and associates (as defined in 
Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), may be deemed to 
beneficially own pursuant to Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934, as well as all shares of which such person, together 
with such person's affiliates and associates, has the right to become the 
beneficial owner pursuant to any agreement or understanding, or upon the 
exercise of warrants, options or rights to convert or exchange (whether such 
rights are exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the 
occurrence of conditions).  The person presiding at the meeting, in addition 
to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of 
the meeting, shall determine whether such notice has been duly given and shall 
direct that proposals and nominees not be considered if such notice has not 
been given. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an 
annual or special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of 
shareholders notice as described above.

     (b)  Eligibility of Directors. Only such persons who are nominated in 
accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-law shall be eligible to 
serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of 
shareholders as shall have been brought before a meeting in accordance with 
the procedures set forth in this By-law. 

     (c)  Public Announcement Defined. For purposes of this By-law, "public 
announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow 
Jones News Service, Associated 


<PAGE> 6


Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by 
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 
13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 
"Exchange Act").

     (d)  Exchange Act Matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of 
this By-law, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements 
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to 
the matters set forth in this By-law.  Nothing in this By-law shall be deemed 
to affect any rights (i) of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in 
the Company's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or 
(ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Company, if any, 
to elect directors under specified circumstances.

                                BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     SECTION 3.1. General Powers.  The business and affairs of the Company 
shall be managed by the Board.

     SECTION 3.2. Number.  The Board shall consist of such number of 
directors, not less than nine, as shall be fixed from time to time by 
resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors which the 
Company would have, prior to any increase or decrease, if there were no 
vacancies on the Board.  The tenure of office of a director shall not be 
affected by any decrease in the number of directors so made by the Board.

     SECTION 3.3. Qualifications.  No person shall be eligible to serve as a 
director unless, when his term commences, he is not less than eighteen years 
of age nor (except in the case of those persons who were named as directors in 
the Statement of Organization of the Company or who were members of the Board 
of Trustees of The Bank of New York prior to April 30, 1957) more than seventy 
years of age.  Directors need not be shareholders.

     SECTION 3.4. Election and Term.  At each annual meeting of the 
shareholders, directors shall be elected to hold office until the next annual 
meeting.  Subject to the provisions of these By-laws, each director shall hold 
office until the expiration of the term for which he is elected and until his 
successor has been elected and qualified.

     Directors shall be elected by the shareholders, except as otherwise 
provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or these 
By-laws.  In order to be elected as a director by the shareholders, a person 
must, except as otherwise provided by law, receive a plurality of the votes 
cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon at a meeting of the 
shareholders for the election of directors at which a quorum shall be present.

     SECTION 3.5. Resignations.  Any director of the Company may resign at any 
time by giving written notice to the Chairman, the President or the Secretary.

otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be 
necessary to make it effective.

     SECTION 3.6. Removal.  Any or all of the directors maybe removed for 
cause by vote of the shareholders or by action of the Board.

     SECTION 3.7. Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies.  Newly created 
directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and 
vacancies occurring in the Board for any reason, except the removal of 
directors by the shareholders without cause, shall be filled by election by 
the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even 
though less than a quorum exists.  Vacancies occurring as a result of the 
removal of directors by the shareholders without cause shall be filled by the 
shareholders.

     A director elected to fill a vacancy, or to fill a newly created 
directorship, shall be elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of 
the shareholders and until his successor has been elected and qualified.

      SECTION 3.8. Time and Place of Meetings; Content of Notice, if any.  
Except as otherwise provided in these By-laws, the Board may hold any meeting 
within or without the State of New York at such place, and at such time, as 
from time to time may be designated by resolution of the Board or as shall be 
specified in the notice of such meeting or in the waivers of notice thereof 
signed by the directors at the time in office (other than any director who 
attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, 
the lack of notice thereof to him).  Except as otherwise specifically provided 
by law or in these By-laws, any notice or waiver of notice of any meeting of 
the Board need not contain any statement of the purpose or purposes of the 
meeting or any specification of the business to be transacted thereat, but 
shall specify the time and place thereof.

     SECTION 3.9. Annual Meeting.  Following each annual meeting of the 
shareholders for the election of directors, the Board shall meet for the 
purposes, without limitation, of organization and the annual election and 
appointment of officers.  The meeting of the Board to be held for such 
purposes shall be the regular meeting of the Board next following each such 
annual meeting of the shareholders, unless a special meeting of the Board 
shall in the meantime have been duly called and held for such purposes.

     SECTION 3.10. Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Board may be 
held at such time and place as shall from time to time be specified in a 
resolution of the Board, and no notice thereof need be given.

     SECTION 3.11. Special Meetings.  A special meeting of the Board may be 
called at any time by the Chairman or, in his absence, by the President and 
shall be called by the Chairman, the President or the Secretary upon the 
written request of any two directors.

     Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each such meeting shall be 
given to each director by mail, addressed to him at his residence or usual 
place of business, not later than noon,



<PAGE> 8

New York time, on the third day prior to the day on which the meeting is to be 
held, or shall be given to him, so addressed, by telegram or cable or 
radiogram, or given to him personally by messenger or telephone, not later 
than noon, New York time, on the day before the day on which such meeting is 
to be held.  Notices are deemed to have been given by mail, when deposited in 
the United States mail, by telegram or cable or radiogram at the time of 
filing, by messenger at the time of delivery, and by telephone at the time of 
the telephone call.

     Notice of such meeting need not be given to any director who submits a 
signed waiver of notice whether before or after the meeting, or who attends 
the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack 
of notice to him.

     SECTION 3.12. Quorum and Manner of Acting.  At all meetings of the Board 
the presence of one-third of the entire Board shall be necessary to constitute 
a quorum for the transaction of business thereat, and an act taken by vote of 
a majority of the directors present at the time of the vote, if a quorum is 
present at such time, shall be the act of the Board, except as otherwise 
provided by law or these By-laws.

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

     Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken 
without a meeting if all members of the Board consent in writing to the 
adoption of a resolution authorizing the action.  The resolution and the 
written consents by the members of the Board shall be filed with the minutes 
of the proceedings of the Board.

     A majority of the directors present, whether or not a quorum shall be 
present, may adjourn any meeting from time to time and from place to place.  
Notice of any adjournment of a meeting to another time or place shall be given 
in the manner described in Section 3.11 of these By-laws to the directors who 
were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless such time and 
place are announced at the meeting, to the other directors.  At any such 
adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present any business may be 
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally 
called if a quorum then had been present.  The directors shall act only as a 
Board and the individual directors shall have no power as such.

     SECTION 3.13. Organization.  At each meeting of the Board, the Chairman 
or, in his absence, the President or, in his absence, such person as may be 
designated by the Board or, in the absence of any of the foregoing, a director 
chosen by a majority of the directors present, shall act as chairman thereof 
and preside thereat; and the Secretary or, in his absence, the person whom the 
chairman of such meeting shall appoint, shall act as secretary of such meeting 
and keep the minutes thereof.

     SECTION 3.14. Compensation.  Each director, other than officers of the 
Company or any of its subsidiaries, shall be paid such compensation as the 
Board from time to time may determine 



<PAGE> 9 

for his services as director or as a member of any committee appointed by or 
pursuant to the authorization of the Board, and shall, in addition, be 
reimbursed for such transportation and other expenses as shall be incurred by 
him in the performance of his duties.  Nothing in this Section shall preclude 
any director from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving 
compensation therefor.

     SECTION 3.15. Interest of Directors and Officers in Transactions. In the 
absence of fraud, no contract or other transaction between the Company and one 
or more of its directors, or between the Company and any other corporation, 
firm, association or other entity in which one or more of its directors or 
officers are directors, or have a substantial financial interest, shall be 
either void or voidable, irrespective of whether such interested director or 
directors are present at the meeting of the Board, or of a committee thereof, 
which approves such contract or transaction and irrespective of whether his or 
their votes are counted for such purpose:

     (a)  if the material facts as to such director's interest in such 
contract or transaction and as to any such common directorship, officership or 
financial interest are disclosed in good faith or known to the Board, or a 
committee thereof, and the Board or committee approves such contract or 
transaction by a vote sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote of 
such interested director or, if the votes of the disinterested directors are 
insufficient to constitute an act of the Board under Section 3.12 of these By-
laws, by unanimous vote of the disinterested directors; or

     (b)  if the material facts as to such director's interest in such 
contract or transaction and as to any such common directorship, officership or 
financial interest are disclosed in good faith or known to the shareholders 
entitled to vote thereon, and such contract or transaction is approved by vote 
of such shareholders.

     If there was no such disclosure or knowledge, or if the vote of such 
interested director was necessary for the approval of such contract or 
transaction at a meeting of the Board or committee at which it was approved, 
the Company may avoid the contract or transaction unless the party or parties 
thereto shall establish affirmatively that the contract or transaction was 
fair and reasonable as to the Company at the time it was approved by the 
Board, a committee or the shareholders.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no loan, except advances in connection 
with indemnification, shall be made by the Company to any director unless it 
is authorized by vote of the shareholders without counting any shares of the 
director who would be the borrower.

The Executive Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board.

     SECTION 4.2. Term of Office.  Each member of the Executive Committee, 
provided he continues to be a director, shall, subject to the provisions of

until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter 
provided.

Committee resulting from any cause whatsoever, the Board may fill such vacancy 
by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board.

     SECTION 4.4. Powers.  While the Board is not in session, the Executive 
Committee shall have and may exercise (unless the Board shall otherwise 
determine) all the authority and powers of the Board in the management of the 
business and affairs of the Company, including generally and without 
limitation all powers conferred upon or vested in the Board by law, by the 
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, by these By-laws or otherwise,

authorization is required;

     (b) the filling of vacancies in the Board or in the Executive Committee

<PAGE> 11


     SECTION 4.5. Resignations.  Any member of the Executive Committee may 
resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board, the Chairman, the 
President or the Secretary.  Such resignation shall take effect at the time of 
receipt of such notice or at any later time specified therein, and, unless 
otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be 
necessary to make it effective.

     SECTION 4.6. Removal.  Any member of the Executive Committee, other than 
a member who shall at the time be the Chairman or the President, may be 
removed by the Board with or without cause at any time.

     SECTION 4.7. Quorum and Manner of Acting.  A majority of the members of 
the Executive Committee shall be necessary to constitute a quorum, and an act 
taken by vote of a majority of the members of the Committee present at the 
time of the vote, if a quorum is present at such time, shall be the act of the 
Committee.  Members of the Executive Committee may participate in a meeting of 
the Committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications 
equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other 
at the same time.  Participation by such means shall constitute presence in 
person at a meeting.  Any action required or permitted to be taken by the 
Executive Committee may be taken without a meeting if all members of the 
Committee consent in writing to the adoption of a resolution authorizing the 
action.  The resolution and the written consents by the members of the 
Committee shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Committee.  
Subject to the foregoing, and unless the Board shall otherwise decide, the 
Executive Committee shall fix its rules of procedure, determine its action and 
fix the time and place of its meetings.  The Executive Committee shall keep a 
record of its proceedings, which shall be at all times available to the 
directors.  All action taken by the Executive Committee shall be reported to 
the Board at its next meeting.

     SECTION 4.8. Alternate Members.  The Board, by resolution adopted by a 
majority of the entire Board, may appoint one or more directors as alternate 
members of the Executive Committee, to serve, in accordance with the terms of 
such resolution, as replacements for, and with the authority and powers of, 
any members of that Committee absent from any meeting thereof.

                                   ARTICLE V
                               OTHER COMMITTEES

     SECTION 5.1. Other Committees of Directors.  The Board, by resolution 
adopted by a majority of the entire Board, may from time to time designate 
from among its members such other committees consisting of three or more 
directors as it may deem advisable and grant to any such committee, to the 
extent provided in the resolution creating it, authority of the Board; 
provided, however, that no such committee shall be granted any power or 
authority withheld from the Executive Committee by Section 4.4 of these By-
laws.  Each such committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board.  All 
provisions of Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 of these By-laws shall 
apply to each such committee and the members thereof with the same force and 
effect as if such committee were referred to in the text of such provisions in 
each instance in which the Executive Committee is so referred to.


<PAGE> 12


     SECTION 5.2. Other Committees of Directors, Officers and/or Other 
Persons.  The Board may appoint, or authorize the Chairman or, in his absence, 
the President to appoint, from time to time, such other committees consisting 
of directors, officers and/or other persons and having such powers, duties and 
functions in or relating to the business and affairs of the Company as the 
Board may determine.  Each such committee and each member thereof shall serve 
at the pleasure of the Board and, in the case of any committee appointed by 
the Chairman or the President, at the pleasure of the Chairman or, in his 
absence, of the President.  A majority of all the members of any such 
committee, or, in the case of any committee appointed by the Chairman or the 
President, the Chairman or, in his absence, the President, may determine the 
rules of order and procedure of such committee and the time and place of its 
meetings, unless the Board shall otherwise provide.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                    OFFICERS

     SECTION 6.1. Number and Qualifications.  The officers of the Company 
shall be a Chairman, a President, one or more Vice Chairmen of the Board 
(herein called Vice Chairman or Vice Chairmen), a Secretary, a Treasurer, and 
such other officers, including but not by way of limitation Vice Presidents 
(who may include one or more Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice 
Presidents), a Comptroller and an Auditor, as may be elected or appointed in 
accordance with the provisions of these By-laws.  The Chairman, the President 
and any Vice Chairmen shall be elected, and the other officers may, but need 
not be, elected or appointed, from among the directors.  One person may hold 
any two or more offices and perform the duties thereof except those of 
President and Secretary.

     SECTION 6.2. Annually Elected Officers.  The Chairman, the President, any 
Vice Chairmen, any Vice Presidents, the Secretary, the Treasurer and such 
other officers, if any, as the Board may determine, shall be elected by the 
Board at each annual meeting.  Each such officer shall hold office until the 
next annual meeting of the Board and until his successor, if any, shall have 
been elected and shall have qualified, or until his death, or until he shall 
resign or shall be removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

     SECTION 6.3. Additional Officers.  The Board may from time to time elect 
such additional officers (including Vice Chairmen and Vice Presidents) as it 
shall deem advisable.  The Board may also delegate to the Chairman or, in his

shall deem advisable.  Each such officer shall serve at the pleasure of the 
Board and, in the case of an officer appointed by the Chairman or the 
President, also at the pleasure of the Chairman or, in his absence, of the 
President.

     SECTION 6.4. Removal.  Any officer may be removed by the Board, and an 
officer appointed by the Chairman or the President may be removed by the 
Chairman or, in his absence, the President, at any time, or his authority may 
be suspended by the Board or the Chairman or, in his absence, the President, 
with or without cause (in the latter case without prejudice to his 


<PAGE> 13


contract rights, if any).  The election or appointment of an officer shall not 
be deemed of itself to create contract rights.

     SECTION 6.5. Resignations.  Any officer may resign at any time by giving 
written notice to the Board, the Chairman, the President or the Secretary.  
Such resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of such notice 
or any later date specified therein, and, unless otherwise specified therein, 
the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it 
effective.

     SECTION 6.6. Vacancies.  A vacancy from any cause in any office referred 
to above may be filled at any time for the unexpired portion of the term, if 
any, in the manner prescribed in these By-laws for regular election or 
appointment to such office.

     SECTION 6.7. Salaries.  The salaries of the officers elected by the Board 
shall be fixed from time to time by the Board. The salaries of the officers 
appointed by the Chairman or the President shall be fixed from time to time by 
the Board or the Chairman or, in his absence, the President.  No officer shall 
be prevented from receiving such salary by reason of the fact that he is also 
a director of the Company.

     SECTION 6.8. Powers and Duties.  The officers of the Company shall have 
such authority and perform such duties in the management of the Company as may 
be prescribed by these By-laws or by the Board and, to the extent not so 
prescribed, they shall have such authority and perform such duties in the 
management of the Company, subject to the control of the Board, as generally 
pertain to their respective offices.

     The Chairman shall be the chief executive officer of the Company.

     The Board may require any officer, agent or employee to give security for 
the faithful performance of his duties.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     SECTION 7.1.  Indemnification.  Except to the extent expressly prohibited 
by the New York Business Corporation Law, the Company shall indemnify any 
person made or threatened to be made a party to any action or proceeding, 
whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that such person or such 
person's testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Company, 
or serves or served at the request of the Company any other corporation, 
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise 
in any capacity, against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in 
settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in 
connection with such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein; provided 
that no such indemnification shall be made if a judgment or other final 
adjudication adverse to such person established that his or her acts were 
committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty 
and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she 
personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or 
she was not legally entitled; and provided further that no such 
indemnification shall be required with respect to any 



<PAGE> 14

settlement or other nonadjudicated disposition of any threatened or pending 
action or proceeding unless the Company has given its prior consent to such 
settlement or other disposition.

     The Company may advance or promptly reimburse upon request any person 
entitled to indemnification hereunder for all expenses, including attorneys' 
fees, reasonably incurred in defending any action or proceeding in advance of 
the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf 
of such person to repay such amount if such person is ultimately found not to 
be entitled to indemnification or, where indemnification is granted, to the 
extent the expenses so advanced or reimbursed exceed the amount to which such 
person is entitled; provided, however, that such person shall cooperate in 
good faith with any request by the Company that common counsel be utilized by 
the parties to an action or proceeding who are similarly situated unless to do 
so would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests 
between or among such parties.

     Nothing herein shall limit or affect any right of any person otherwise 
than hereunder to indemnification or expenses, including attorneys' fees, 
under any statute, rule, regulation, certificate of incorporation, by-law, 
insurance policy, contract or otherwise.

     Anything in these By-laws to the contrary notwithstanding, no elimination 
of this By-law, and no amendment to this By-law adversely affecting the right 
of any person to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder, shall 
be effective until the 60th day following notice to such person of such 
action, and no elimination of or amendment to this By-law shall deprive any 
person of his or her rights hereunder arising out of alleged or actual 
occurrences, acts or failures to act prior to such 60th day.

     The Company shall not, except by elimination of or amendment to this By-
law in a manner consistent with the preceding paragraph, take any corporate 
action or enter into any agreement which prohibits, or otherwise limits the 
rights of any person to, indemnification in accordance with the provisions of 
this By-law.  The indemnification of any person provided by this By-law shall 
continue after such person has ceased to be a director or officer of the 
Company and shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors, 
administrators and legal representatives.

     The Company is authorized to enter into agreements with any of its 
directors or officers extending rights to indemnification and advancement of 
expenses to such person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, but 
the failure to enter into any such agreement shall not affect or limit the 
rights of such person pursuant to this By-law, it being expressly recognized 
hereby that all directors or officers of the Company by serving as such after 
the adoption hereof, are acting in reliance hereon and that the Company is 
estopped to contend otherwise.

     In case any provision in this By-law shall be determined at any time to 
be unenforceable in any respect, the other provisions shall not in any way be 
affected or impaired thereby, and the affected provision shall be given the 
fullest possible enforcement in the circumstances, it being the intention of 
the Company to afford indemnification and advancement of expenses to its 
directors and officers, acting in such capacities or in the other capacities 
mentioned herein, to the fullest extent permitted by law.



<PAGE> 15


     For purposes of this By-law, the Company shall be deemed to have 
requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by 
such person of his or her duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or 
otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or 
beneficiaries of the plan, and excise taxes assessed on a person with respect 
to any employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be considered 
indemnifiable expenses.  For purposes of this By-law, the terms "Company" 
shall include any legal successor to the Company, including any corporation 
which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one or 
more transactions.

     A person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the 
defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character described 
in the first paragraph of this By-law shall be indemnified as authorized in 
such paragraph.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence and unless 
ordered by a court, indemnification under this By-law shall be made by the 
Company if, and only if, authorized in the specific case:

     (1) By the Board of Directors acting by a quorum consisting of directors 
who are not parties to such action or proceeding upon a finding that the 
director or officer has met the standard of conduct set forth in the first 
paragraph of this By-law, or,

     (2) If such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum 
of disinterested directors so directs;

     (a) by the Board of Directors upon the opinion in writing of independent 
legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the 
standard of conduct set forth in the first paragraph of this By-law has been 
met by such director or officer; or

     (b) by the shareholders upon a finding that the director or officer has 
met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such paragraph.

     If any action with respect to indemnification of directors and officers 
is taken by way of amendment of these By-laws, resolution of directors, or by 
agreement, the Company shall, not later than the next annual meeting of 
shareholders, unless such meeting is held within three months from the date of 
such action and, in any event, within fifteen months from the date of such 
action, mail to its shareholders of record at the time entitled to vote for 
the election of directors a statement specifying the action taken.

other than the Company itself or its employee.  In case any officer who has 
signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall 
have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may 
nevertheless be issued by the Company with the same effect as if he were such 
officer at the date of its issue.

     If the Company is authorized to issue shares of more than one class, each 
certificate representing shares issued by the Company shall set forth upon the 
face or back of the certificate, or shall state that the Company will furnish 
to any shareholder upon request and without charge, a full statement of the 
designation, relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of 
each class of shares authorized to be issued and the designation, relative 
rights, preferences and limitations of each series of any class of preferred 
shares authorized to be issued so far as the same have been fixed and the 
authority of the Board to designate and fix the relative rights, preferences 
and limitations of other series.

     Each certificate representing shares shall state upon the face thereof:

     (a)  that the Company is formed under the laws of the State of New York;

     (b)  the name of the person or persons to whom issued; and

     (c)  the number and class of shares, and the designation of the series, 
if any,
     which such certificate represents.

      SECTION 9.2. Transfer of Shares of Stock.  A transfer of shares of stock 
of the Company shall be made on the record of shareholders of the Company 
after satisfaction of all legal prerequisites to the Company's duty to 
register such transfer, including the surrender of the certificate therefor 
which shall be canceled when the new certificate is issued.

     SECTION 9.3. Registered Holders.  The Company shall be entitled to treat 
and shall be protected in treating the persons in whose names shares or any 
warrants, rights or options stand on the record of shareholders, warrant 
holders, rights holders or option holders, as the case may be, as the owners 
thereof for all purposes and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or 
other claim to, or interest in, any such share, warrant, right or option on 
the part of any other person, whether or not the Company shall have notice 
thereof, except as expressly provided otherwise by the statutes of the State 
of New York.

     SECTION 9.4. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Share Certificates.  No 
certificate for shares of the Company shall be issued in place of any 
certificate alleged to have been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, except, 
if and to the extent required by the Board, upon:

     (a) production of evidence of loss, destruction or wrongful taking;

     (b) delivery of a bond indemnifying the Company and its agents against 
any claim that may be made against it or them on account of the alleged loss, 
destruction or wrongful taking of the replaced certificate or the issuance of 
the new certificate;


<PAGE> 18


     (c) payment of the expenses of the Company and its agents incurred in 
connection with the issuance of the new certificate; and

     (d) compliance with such other reasonable requirements as may be imposed.

     SECTION 9.5. Record Date.  For the purpose of determining the 
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the 
shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent 
from any proposal without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining 
shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of 
any rights, or for the purpose of any other action, the Board may fix, in 
advance, a date not more than fifty days and not less than ten days before the 
date of such meeting, and not more than fifty days prior to any other action, 
as the record date for any such determination of shareholders.  Upon 
adjournment of any meeting, the Board may but shall not be required to fix a 
new record date.

     If a record date for any such determination of shareholders is not fixed 
by the Board, then, the record date for such determination shall be as 
provided by law.

     SECTION 9.6. Regulations, Transfer Agents and Registrars.  The Board may 
make such further rules and regulations as it may deem expedient, not 
inconsistent with these By-laws or with the Certificate of Incorporation of 
the Company, concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates 
for shares of stock of the Company.  It may appoint one or more transfer 
agents and one or more registrars of transfers, and may require all 
certificates of stock to bear the signature of either or both.

     SECTION 12.1. Books.  The Company shall keep correct and complete books 
and records of account and shall keep minutes of the proceedings of its 
shareholders, the Board and the Executive Committee if any.  There shall be

of the foregoing books, records or minutes may be in legible form or in any 
other form capable of being converted into legible form within a reasonable 
time.

      The Board shall have power to determine from time to time, subject to 
the laws of the State of New York, whether and to what extent and at what 
times and places and under what conditions and regulations the accounts, 
books, records or other documents of the Company, or any of them, shall be 
open to inspection, and no creditor, security holder or other person shall

shareholders entitled to vote thereon as hereinabove provided.

     If any By-law regulating an impending election of directors is adopted, 
amended or repealed by the Board, there shall be set forth in the notice of 
the next meeting of shareholders for the election of directors the By-law so
