In case a quorum shall not be present at any meeting thereof, a majority in
interest of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat and present in person or
by proxy shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without
notice other than announcement at the meeting (or as otherwise required by law)

Directors or by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, or

without cause at any time, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
of all the shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote, at a special

the entire membership of the Board of Directors.

SECTION 5.  POWERS.  The Board of Directors shall exercise all of the powers of
the Corporation except such as are by law, or by the Certificate of

the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and
affairs of the Corporation, and may have power to authorize the Seal of the
Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it.  The committees
shall keep regular minutes of their proceedings and report the same to the
Board of Directors when required.  The Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chair of
the Board, the President or the member or members of any Board committee

not such member or members constitute a quorum, may designate another member or
other members of the Board of

designated shall be considered in determining whether a quorum is present.

SECTION 7.  MEETINGS.  All meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at
the offices of Harris Trust and Savings Bank in the City of Chicago, Illinois,
or at such other place as the Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chair of the Board

Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held, as soon as may be
practicable after the adjournment of the regular meetings of the Board of
Directors of said Bank scheduled by its bylaws (as the same may be amended from
time to time) on the third Wednesday of each month.  In the event the Chairman
of the Board, a Vice Chair of the Board or President shall designate an
alternate meeting place for any regular meeting, notice of the alternate
meeting place shall be given by mailing the same to each director not later
than five business days preceding the date of the meeting, or by telegraphing
the same to him or delivering the same to him personally not later than the day
previous to such meeting, but save for any such required notice of alternate
meeting place, such regular meeting shall be held without other notice than by
this bylaw.

Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman of the Board, a Vice
Chair of the Board or the President or on the written request of any three
directors. Except to the extent the time or method of giving notice is regulated
by statute, notice of any such meeting and of any alternate meeting place shall
be given by mailing the same to each director not later than five business days
preceding the date of the meeting, or by telegraphing the same to him or
delivering the same to him personally not later than the day previous to such
meeting. Except as otherwise required by statute or these bylaws, neither the
business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in
the notice or any waiver thereof.

SECTION 8.  QUORUM.  A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for
the transaction of business.  If at any meeting of the Board there shall be
less than a quorum present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting
from time to time until a quorum is obtained, and no further notice thereof
need be given other than by announcement at the meeting which shall be so
adjourned.

SECTION 9.  ACTION WITHOUT MEETING.  Any action required or permitted to be
taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof,
may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or of such
committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or
writings are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or
committee.

SECTION 10.  MEETINGS BY CONFERENCE TELEPHONE.  Members of the Board of
Directors or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in the
meeting of the Board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar
communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the
meeting can hear each other, and participation in such meeting shall constitute

SECTION 1.  FORM.  Every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled
to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the Corporation, by the
Chairman of the Board, or the President, or a Vice President and by the
Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
of the Corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by him in the

purpose.  If any such certificate is manually countersigned on behalf of a
registrar other than the Corporation or its employee, any or all of the other
signatures on such certificate on behalf of the Corporation or on behalf of a
transfer agent may be facsimile.  In case any officer or any transfer agent who
has signed or countersigned, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have
been used on any such certificate shall cease to be such officer or transfer
agent, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such
certificate shall have been issued, such certificate may nevertheless be
adopted by the Corporation and be issued and delivered with the same effect as
if the officer or transfer agent concerned had not ceased to be such officer or
transfer agent (as the case may be).  The Seal of the Corporation or a
facsimile thereof may, but need not, be affixed to certificates of stock of the
Corporation.

SECTION 2.  REPLACEMENT.  The Board of Directors may (by a general resolution
or otherwise) authorize or direct a new stock certificate or certificates to be
issued in place of any stock certificate or certificates theretofore issued by
the Corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact by the person or persons claiming the certificate of
stock to be lost or destroyed.  When so authorizing such issue of a new
certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and
as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such
lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or the legal representative or
representatives thereof, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as the
Board of Directors (by a general resolution or otherwise) may direct as
indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with
respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

SECTION 3.  TRANSFER.  Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent
of the Corporation of a certificate for shares of capital stock of the
Corporation duly endorsed (or accompanied by proper evidence of succession,
assignment or authority to transfer) and otherwise in compliance with
applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and these
bylaws with respect to such transfer, the Corporation shall issue, or cause to
be issued, a new stock certificate or certificates to the person or persons
entitled thereto and cause the old stock certificate or certificates
surrendered therefor to be appropriately canceled.

addressed to the person entitled thereto at his last known post office address,
