                            Meetings of Shareholders

Section 1.01 Annual Meetings

The annual meeting of shareholders for the election of directors and for the
transaction of such other business as properly may come before such meeting
shall be held at such date and time as the Directors may determine.

Section 1.02 Special Meetings

Special meetings of shareholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of
the Board of Directors, or by the Chief Executive Officer, or by order of the
Board of Directors, or by a majority of the directors then in office acting
without a meeting. At any special meeting of shareholders, only such business
may be transacted as is related to the purpose or purposes set forth in the
notice required by Section 1.04.

Section 1.03 Place of Meetings

Each meeting of shareholders shall be held at the principal office of the
Corporation in the State of New York or at such other place within or without
the State of New York as may be specified in the notice of the meeting.

Section 1.04 Notice of Meetings

Written or electronic notice of the place, date and hour of each meeting of the
shareholders shall be given as provided in Section 4.01 to each shareholder
entitled to vote thereat, or otherwise entitled by law to notice thereof, not
less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the meeting or shall be given by
third-class mail not fewer than twenty-four (24) nor more than sixty (60) days
before the date of the meeting. If mailed such notice shall be deemed given when
deposited in the United States mail, with postage thereon prepaid, directed to
the shareholder at the shareholder's address as it appears on the record of
shareholders, or, if the shareholder shall have filed with the Secretary of the
Corporation a request that notices to the shareholder be mailed to some other
address, then directed to the shareholder at such other address. If transmitted
electronically, such notice shall be deemed given when directed to the
shareholder's electronic mail address as supplied by the shareholder to the
Secretary of the Corporation or as otherwise directed pursuant to the
shareholder's authorization or instructions. Notice of a special meeting shall
also state the purposes for which the meeting is called and indicate by or at
whose direction the notice is being issued. If any action is proposed to be
taken at any shareholders' meeting which would, if taken, entitle shareholders
fulfilling the requirements of section 623 of the New York Business Corporation
Law (relating to a shareholder's statutory appraisal rights) to receive payment
for their shares, the notice shall also include a statement to that effect.
Notice of any meeting need not be given to any shareholder with whom
communication is then unlawful by virtue of any law of the State of New York or
of the United States of America

                                       4
<PAGE>

now or hereafter enacted or amended or any rule, regulation, proclamation or
executive order issued under any such law.

Section 1.05 Quorum of Shareholders

Except as otherwise provided by law and subject to the provisions of Section
1.07 and Section 6.02(b), the holders of a majority of the votes of shares
issued and outstanding entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of
shareholders, provided that when a specified item of business is required to be
voted on by a particular class or series of shares, voting as a class, the
holders of a majority of the votes of shares of such class or series shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of such specified item of business.

Section 1.06 Inspectors of Election

The Board of Directors shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at a meeting
of shareholders or any adjournment thereof and make a written report thereof.
The Board may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace
any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been appointed,
or if such persons are unable to act at the meeting, the person presiding at the
meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each
inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her 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 or her ability. 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 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. The date and time (which
need not be a particular time of day) of the opening and the closing of the
polls for each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at a meeting shall
be announced by the person presiding at the meeting at the beginning of the
meeting and, if no date and time is so announced, the polls shall close at the
end of the meeting, including any adjournment thereof. Except as otherwise
required by the New York Business Corporation Law, no ballot, proxies or
consents, nor any revocation thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by
the inspectors after the closing of polls.

Section 1.07 Qualification of Voters

      (a)   Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation at
            each meeting of shareholders, each holder of record of common shares
            entitled to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to one vote for
            each such common share

                                       5
<PAGE>

            standing in his, her or its name on the record of shareholders on
            the record date as determined pursuant to Section 1.10.

      (b)   Treasury shares and shares held 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 by the Corporation, shall not be shares entitled
            to vote or to be counted in determining the total number of
            outstanding shares

      (c)   Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, conservator,
            committee or other fiduciary, except a trustee, may be voted by him,
            her or it, either in person or by proxy, without transfer of such
            shares into his, her or its name.

      (d)   Shares held by a trustee may be voted by him, her or it, either in
            person or by proxy, only after the shares have been transferred into
            his, her or its name as trustee or into the name of his, her or its
            nominee.

      (e)   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.

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

      (g)   At each meeting of shareholders, each holder of record of preferred
            shares entitled to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to such
            number of votes as may be specified in the Certificate of
            Incorporation.

Section 1.08 Vote of Shareholders

Except as at the time otherwise expressly required by statute, by the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or by Section 1.06 (regarding
appointment of Inspectors), Section 2.02 (regarding election of directors) or
Section 2.08 (regarding removal of directors), all corporate action to be taken
by vote of the shareholders shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast
in favor or against such action by the holders of shares entitled to vote
thereon at a meeting of the shareholders at which a quorum is present. Except as
otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or the specific provision
of a by-law adopted by the shareholders, an abstention shall not constitute a
vote cast.

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. Without limiting the manner in which a shareholder may authorize
another person or persons to act for him, her or it as

                                       6
<PAGE>

proxy, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a shareholder may
grant such authority:

(1)   A shareholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons
      to act for the shareholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the
      shareholder or the shareholder's authorized officer, director, employee or
      agent signing such writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed
      to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by
      facsimile signature.

(2)   A shareholder may authorize another person or persons to act for the
      shareholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a
      telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission to the
      person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation
      firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by
      the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such
      transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of
      electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with
      information from which it can be reasonably determined that the telegram,
      cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the
      shareholder. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other
      electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors shall specify the
      nature of the information upon which they relied.

Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the
writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section 1.08 may be substituted
or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes
for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such
copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete
reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

Section 1.09 Proxies

Any shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express
consent or dissent without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to
act for him by proxy. Each proxy must be in writing, signed by the shareholder
or by his attorney-in-fact and shall be filed with the secretary of any meeting
at which the holder thereof votes thereunder. No proxy shall be valid after the
expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the
proxy. Each proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the shareholder
executing it, except if and to the extent that an irrevocable proxy is given and
is permitted by law.

Section 1.10 Record Date

The Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for
determining the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to or dissent
from any proposal without a meeting. Such date shall be not more than 60 nor
less than 10 days before the date of such meeting nor more than sixty (60) days
prior to any other action. If no record date is

                                       7
<PAGE>

fixed: (1) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if no
notice is given, the day on which the meeting is held; and (2) the record date
for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of
business on the day on which the resolution of the Board of Directors relating
thereto is adopted. When a determination of shareholders of record entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in
this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless
the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.11 Adjourned Meetings

The holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at a
meeting and entitled to vote thereat may from time to time adjourn the meeting,
whether or not a quorum was present at the meeting. When a determination of
shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
shareholders has been made pursuant to Section 1.10, such determination shall
apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a
new record date for the adjourned meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to
another time or place, no notice need be given if such time or place is
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. However, if the
Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, notice of
the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new
record date entitled to notice. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is
present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the
meeting as originally called.

Section 1.12 Notice of Shareholder Proposal

For business proposed by a Shareholder to be a proper subject for action at an
Annual Shareholders meeting, in addition to any requirement of law the
Shareholder must timely request (by Certified Mail - Return Receipt Requested)
that the proposal be included in the Corporation's proxy statement for the
meeting, and such request must satisfy all of the provisions of Rule 14a-8 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

                                   ARTICLE II

Section 2.02 Number, Term of Office, Election and Qualifications

      (a)   The full Board of Directors shall consist of not less than nine nor
            more than fifteen directors, all of whom shall be at least 21 years
            of age on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders. The
            Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be chosen by the Directors
            from among the directors and shall preside at all meetings of the
            shareholders and of the Board of Directors at which he shall be
            present. Past or present officers or employees of the Corporation
            shall not comprise more than one third of the Board of Directors.
            Each director shall hold at least 1000 shares of any class of the
            Corporation; provided that failure to hold such number of shares
            shall not prevent or disqualify any person not a director from being
            elected a director pursuant to this Section 2.02 or Section 2.09 or
            from serving as a director for a period of one year from the time of
            such election.

      (b)   Subject to the provisions of this Section and of Section 2.09, the
            number of directors, within the limits provided, necessary to
            constitute a full Board shall be determined from time to time by
            vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. Directors shall
            be elected at the annual meeting of shareholders. If the number of
            directors be increased between annual meetings of shareholders, the
            additional directors to fill the vacancies thus created shall be
            elected as provided in Section 2.09.

      (c)   At each annual meeting of shareholders the directors elected at such
            meeting shall serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders
            and until their successors shall be elected and qualified, or until
            their earlier death, resignation or removal.

      (d)   A director elected to fill a vacancy, unless elected by the
            shareholders, shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at
            the next meeting of shareholders at which the election of directors
            is in the regular order of business.

      (e)   At each meeting of shareholders for the election of directors the
            directors shall be chosen and elected by a plurality of the votes
            cast at such meeting by the holders of shares entitled to vote in
            the election. Any shareholder may recommend a nominee for membership
            on the Board of Directors provided such recommendations for
            nominees, to be proposed at any Annual meeting are made in writing
            addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation prior to the fifteenth
            of December preceding the date of such meeting.

      (f)   No person shall serve as a director beyond the annual meeting of
            shareholders following his or her attainment of age 72.

Section 2.03 Regular Meetings

Promptly after the close of each annual meeting of the shareholders, the Board
of Directors shall, without notice, meet where such annual meeting was held, or
at such other place as may be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors, for
the purpose of appointing officers and committees for the ensuing year and
transacting other proper business. Other regular meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held without notice at such time and place as shall from time
to time be scheduled and such schedule may be changed at any regular meeting of
the Board of Directors or at any special meeting called for that purpose,
provided that notice of the change shall be given to all directors no later than
5 days prior to the first meeting held under such schedule as so changed.

Section 2.04 Special Meetings

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the
Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, or any two directors. If such a
meeting is called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or by the Chief
Executive Officer, such person shall, or shall direct the Secretary to, fix a
time and place for and give notice of the time, place, and purposes of such
meeting. If such a meeting is called by any two directors, upon delivery to the
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer or Secretary, in
person or by registered mail, of a request in writing for a special meeting,
specifying the purposes thereof, it shall be the duty of the person to whom the
request is delivered to fix a time and place for (unless the requesting
directors shall have fixed such time and place) and give notice of the time,
place and purposes of such meeting. All such notices of meetings shall be given
as provided in Section 4.01, if by mail, at least three days before the day on
which the meeting is to be held, or, if by personal delivery, telephone or
telegram, not later than the day before the day on which the meeting is to be
held.

Section 2.05 Quorum and Voting

A majority of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, but if a quorum shall not be

            served in any capacity at the request of the Company, by reason of
            the fact that such person, such person's testator or intestate, was
            a director or officer of the Company, or served such other
            corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
            plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines,

            benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests

            by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo
            contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a
            presumption that any such director or officer did not act, in good
            faith, for a purpose which such director or officer reasonably
            believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other
            corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
            benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests

            director or officer of any other corporation of any type or kind,

            actually and necessarily incurred by such person in connection with
            the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with an
            appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith,
            for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case
            of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint
            venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not
            opposed to, the best interests

            of, or (2) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
            have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to
            the extent that the court in which the action was brought, or, if no
            action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines
            upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case,
            the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
            portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems
            proper.

      (d)   For the purpose of this Section 1, the Company shall be deemed to
            have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the
            performance by such person of his 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; excise taxes
            assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan
            pursuant to applicable law shall be considered fines; and action
            taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee benefit
            plan in the performance of such person's duties for a purpose
            reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the
            participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for
            a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

Section 9.02 Payment of Indemnification; Repayment

      (a)   A person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
            defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character
            described in Section 1 of this Article shall be entitled to
            indemnification as authorized in such Section.

      (b)   Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, any indemnification
            under Section 1 of this Article, unless ordered by a court under
            Section 724 of the New York Business Corporation Law as from time to
            time amended, shall be made by the Company, 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 Section 1 of this Article or
                  otherwise established by the Company pursuant to the last
                  sentence of Section 4 of this Article; or

            (2)   if a quorum under the foregoing subparagraph (1) is not
                  obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested
                  directors so directs:

                  (i)   by the Board of Directors upon the opinion in writing of
                        independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper
                        in the circumstances because the applicable standard of
                        conduct set

                                       21
<PAGE>

                        forth in such Section 1 of this Article or otherwise
                        established by the Company pursuant to the last sentence
                        of Section 4 of this Article has been met by such
                        director or officer, or

                  (ii)  by the shareholders upon a finding that the director or
                        officer has met such applicable standard of conduct.

      (c)   Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or
            proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
            disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an
            undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay
            such amount as, and to the extent, required by Section 2(d) of this
            Article.

      (d)   All expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or
            proceeding which are advanced by the Company under this Article or
            allowed by a court shall be repaid in case the person receiving such
            advancement or allowance is ultimately found, under the procedure
            set forth in this Article, not to be entitled to indemnification or,
            where indemnity is granted, to the extent the expenses so advanced
            by the Company or allowed by the court exceed the indemnification to
            which he is entitled.

Section 9.03 Procedure for Indemnification

Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Company under Section 1, or
advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 2(c) of this Article, shall
be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days, upon the written request of
the director or officer. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by
this Article shall be reenforceable by the director or officer in any court of
competent jurisdiction if the Company denies such request, in whole or in part,
or if no disposition thereof is made within 60 days. Such person's costs and
expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to
indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be
indemnified by the Company. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than
an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and
expenses under Section 2(c) of this Article where the required undertaking, if
any, has been received by the Company) that the claimant has not met the
standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this Article or otherwise
established by the Company pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4 of this
Article, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither
the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, its independent
legal counsel, and its stockholders), to have made a determination prior to the
commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in
the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Section 1 of this Article or otherwise established by the Company
pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4 of this Article, nor the fact that
there has been an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of
Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the
claimant has not met such

                                       22
<PAGE>

applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a
presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 9.04 Survival; Preservation of Other Rights

The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract
between the Company and each director and officer (and each director and officer
of any of its subsidiaries) who serves in such capacity at any time while these
provisions as well as the relevant provisions of the New York Business
Corporation Law are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not
affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts
then or previously existing or any action, suit, or proceeding previously or
thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state
of facts. Such a "contract right" may not be modified retroactively without the
consent of such director or officer. 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 stockholders or
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 or officer and shall inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The Company is
hereby authorized to provide further indemnification if it deems it advisable by
resolution of shareholders or directors or by agreement.

Section 9.05 Savings Clause

If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any
court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify
each director or officer of the Company as to costs, charges and expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the
Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article
that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by
applicable law.

            specified in the foregoing clause (1), in which event such provision

            only in such manner.
