         2.3 Organization. Each meeting of the stockholders shall be presided
over by the Chairman of the Board, or in his absence by the President, or in
their absences, any other individual selected by the Board of Directors. The
Secretary, or in his absence a temporary Secretary, shall act as secretary of

the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting
and, unless prescribed by law or regulation or unless the Board of Directors has
otherwise determined, shall determine the order of the business and the
procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and

<PAGE>   2
only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by the
affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the directors then in office.

        2.5    Notice.

         (a) Notice of the time and place of the annual meeting of stockholders
shall be given by delivering personally or by mailing a written notice of the
same, not less than ten days and not more than sixty days prior to the date of
the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
When any stockholders' meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned for
thirty days or more, or if a new record date is fixed for an adjourned meeting
of stockholders, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case
of an original meeting. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time
and place of any meeting adjourned for less than thirty days (unless a new
record date is fixed therefor), other than an announcement at the meeting at
which such adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may
transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

         (b) Not less than ten days and not more than sixty days prior to the
meeting, a written notice of each special meeting of stockholders, stating the
place, day and hour of such meeting, and the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called, shall be either delivered personally or mailed to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

         2.6 Record List of Stockholders. At least ten days before each meeting
of stockholders, a complete record of the stockholders entitled to vote at such
meeting, or any adjournment thereof, shall be made, arranged in alphabetical
order, with the address of and number of shares registered in the name of each,
which record shall be kept open to the examination of any stockholder, for a
purpose germane to the meeting, in accordance with the General Corporation Law
("GCL") of the State of Delaware. The record also shall be kept open at the time
and place of such meeting for the inspection of any stockholder.

         2.7 Quorum; Actions of Stockholders. Except as otherwise required by
law or the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation:

         (a) A quorum at any annual or special meeting of stockholders shall
consist of stockholders representing, either in person or by proxy, a majority
of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such
meeting.

         (b) In all matters other than the election of directors, the
affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by
proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act
of the stockholders. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of
the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled
to vote on the election of directors. If, at any meeting of the stockholders,
due to a vacancy or vacancies or otherwise, directors of more than one class of
the Board of Directors are to be elected, each class of directors to be elected
at the meeting shall be elected in a separate election by a plurality vote.

                                       2
<PAGE>   3
         2.8 Voting of Shares. Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws or
to the extent that voting rights of the shares of any class or classes are
limited or denied by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder, on each
matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, shall have one vote for
each share of stock registered in his name on the books of the Corporation.

         2.9 Closing of Transfer Books and Fixing of the Record Date. For the
purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive
payment of any dividend, the Board of Directors may provide that the stock
transfer books shall be closed for a stated period not to exceed 60 days nor
less than ten days preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer
books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date for any such
determination of stockholders, which record date shall not precede the date upon
which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty days and, in case
of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which
the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be
taken.

         2.10 Proxies. A stockholder may vote either in person or by proxy
executed in writing by the stockholder or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person
or persons to act for him as proxy, a stockholder may grant such authority in
the manner specified in Section 212(c) of the GCL (or any successor thereto). No
proxy shall be valid after three years from the date of its execution, unless
otherwise provided in the proxy.

         2.11 Waiver of Notice. A waiver of any notice required to be given any
stockholder, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether
before or after the time stated therein for the meeting, shall be equivalent to
the giving of such notice. The attendance of any stockholder at a meeting, in
person or by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice by such stockholder,
except where a stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or commenced.

         2.12 Voting of Shares in the Name of Two or More Persons. When
ownership stands in the name of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries,
members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the
entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary
relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary of the Corporation
is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the
instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is
so provided, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation any one or
more of such stockholders may cast, in person or by proxy, all votes to which
such ownership is entitled. In the event an attempt is made to cast conflicting
votes, in person or by proxy, by the several persons in whose names shares of
stock stand, the vote or votes to which those persons are entitled shall be cast
as directed by a majority of those holding such stock and present in person or
by proxy at such meeting, but no votes shall be cast for such stock if a
majority cannot agree, except to the extent provided in Section 217(b)(3) of the
GCL (or any successor thereto).

         2.13 Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Shares standing in the name
of another corporation may be voted by an officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws
of such corporation may

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors of
such corporation may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor,
guardian or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy,
without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of
a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee
shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares
into his name. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by
such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so
is contained in an appropriate order of the court or other public authority by
which such receiver was appointed. A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall
be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the
name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the
shares so transferred.

         2.14 Proposals. At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such
business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the
meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a)
specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, or (b) otherwise properly brought
before the meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before
an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely
notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely a
stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than 120 days prior to
the anniversary date of the mailing of proxy materials by the Corporation in
connection with the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation or, in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation following its acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of
Independence Savings Bank, Brooklyn, New York (the "Bank"), which is expected to
be held in July 1998, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered and
received no later than the close of business on Thursday, March 26, 1998,
notwithstanding a determination by the Corporation to schedule such first annual
meeting later than July 1998. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set
forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual
meeting (a) a description of the business desired to be brought before the
annual meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's
books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of
shares of Corporation stock which are Beneficially Owned (as defined in Article
12.A(e) of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation) by the stockholder
submitting the notice, by any Person who is Acting in Concert with or who is an
Affiliate or Associate of such stockholder (as such capitalized terms are
defined in Article 12.A of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation), by
any Person who is a member of any group with such stockholder with respect to
the Corporation stock or who is known by such stockholder to be supporting such
proposal on the date the notice is given to the Corporation, and by each Person
who is in control of, is controlled by or is under common control with any of
the foregoing Persons (if any of the foregoing Persons is a partnership,
corporation, limited liability company, association or trust, information shall
be provided regarding the name and address of, and the class and number of
shares of Corporation stock which are Beneficially Owned by, each partner in
such partnership, each director, executive officer and stockholder in such
corporation, each member in such limited liability company or association, and
each trustee and beneficiary of such trust, and in each case each Person
controlling such entity and each partner, director, executive officer,
stockholder, member or trustee of any entity which is ultimately in control of
such partnership, corporation, limited liability company, association or trust),
(d) the identification of any person retained or to be compensated by the
stockholder

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
submitting the proposal, or any person acting on his or her behalf, to make
solicitations or recommendations to stockholders for the purpose of assisting in
the passage of such proposal and a brief description of the terms of such
employment, retainer or arrangement for compensation, and (e) any material
interest of the stockholder in such business. The chairman of an annual meeting
shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business
was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of
this Article II, Section 2.14, and if he should so determine, he shall so
declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the
meeting shall not be transacted. This provision is not a limitation on any other
applicable laws and regulations.

         2.15 Inspectors. For each meeting of stockholders, the Board of
Directors shall appoint one or more inspectors of election, who shall make a
written report of such meeting. If for any meeting the inspector(s) appointed by
the Board of Directors shall be unable to act or the Board of Directors shall
fail to appoint any inspector, one or more inspectors shall be appointed at the
meeting by the chairman thereof. Each inspector, before entering upon the
discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the
duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his
ability. An inspector or inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares
outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented
at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and
ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the
disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors and
(v) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the
meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The date and time of the
opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders
will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairman
thereof. An inspector or inspectors shall not accept a ballot, proxy or vote,
nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, after the closing of the polls
(unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware upon application by a
stockholder shall determine otherwise) and may appoint or retain other persons
or entities to assist them in the performance of their duties. Inspectors need
not be stockholders and may not be nominees for election as directors.


                           ARTICLE III. CAPITAL STOCK


         3.1 Certificates. Certificates of stock shall be issued in numerical
order, and each stockholder shall be entitled to a certificate signed by the
Chairman of the Board or the President, and the Secretary or the Treasurer, and
may be sealed with the seal of the Corporation or facsimile thereof. The
signatures of such officers may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually
signed on behalf of a transfer agent, or registered by a registrar, other than
the Corporation itself or an employee of the Corporation. If an officer who has
signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate ceases
to be an officer before the certificate is issued, it may be issued by the
Corporation with the same effect as if the person were an officer on the date of
issue. Each certificate of stock shall state:

         (a) that the Corporation is organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware;

         (b) the name of the person to whom issued;

                                       5

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

         (d) the par value of each share represented by such certificate, or a
statement that such shares are without par value.

         3.2 Transfers.

         (a) Transfers of stock shall be made only upon the stock transfer books
of the Corporation, kept at the registered office of the Corporation or at its
principal place of business, or at the office of its transfer agent or
registrar, and before a new certificate is issued the old certificate shall be
surrendered for cancellation. The Board of Directors may, by resolution, open a
share register in any state of the United States, and may employ an agent or
agents to keep such register, and to record transfers of shares therein.

        (b) Shares of stock shall be transferred by delivery of the certificates
therefor, accompanied either by an assignment in writing on the back of the
certificate or an assignment separate from the certificate, or by a written
power of attorney to sell, assign and transfer the same, signed by the holder of
said certificate. No shares of stock shall be transferred on the books of the
Corporation until the outstanding certificates therefor have been surrendered to
the Corporation.

         (c) A written restriction on the transfer or registration of transfer
of a certificate evidencing stock of the Corporation, if permitted by the GCL
and noted conspicuously on such certificate, may be enforced against the holder
of the restricted certificate or any successor or transferee of the holder,
including an executor, administrator, trustee, guardian or other fiduciary
entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of the holder.

         3.3 Registered Owner. Registered stockholders shall be treated by the
Corporation as the holders in fact of the stock standing in their respective
names and the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other
claim to or interest in any share on the part of any other person, whether or
not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as expressly provided
by the laws of the State of Delaware.

         3.4 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Corporation may issue a
new certificate of stock in place of any certificate previously issued by it
which is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may
require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal
representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it
against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss,
theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new
certificate.

         3.5 Fractional Shares or Scrip. The Corporation may (a) issue fractions
of a share which shall entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to receive
dividends thereon and to participate in any of the assets of the Corporation in
the event of liquidation; (b) arrange for the disposition of fractional
interests by those entitled thereto; (c) pay in cash the fair value of fractions
of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such shares are
determined; or (d) issue scrip in registered

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
or bearer form which shall entitle the holder to receive a certificate for a
full share upon the surrender of such scrip aggregating a full share.

         3.6 Shares of Another Corporation. Shares owned by the Corporation in
another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or
proxy as the Board of Directors may determine or, in the absence of such
determination, by the President of the Corporation.


                         ARTICLE IV. BOARD OF DIRECTORS


         4.1 Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be
managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors, which may exercise
all such authority and powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and
things as are not by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws
directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

         4.2 Classification, Term and Qualifications. The Board of Directors
shall be divided into three classes as provided in Article 7.A. of the
Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation. No director shall serve beyond the
31st day of December in the year in which he reaches his 75th birthday. No
person shall be eligible for initial election as a director who has attained
seventy years of age or more.

         4.3 Number of Directors. The initial Board of Directors shall consist
of 13 persons. The number of directors may at any time be increased or decreased
by a vote of a majority of the Board of Directors, provided that no decrease
shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained within these Bylaws, the
number of directors may not be less than five nor more than 20.

         4.4 Vacancies. All vacancies in the Board of Directors shall be filled
in the manner provided in the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation.

         4.5 Removal of Directors. Directors may be removed in the manner

         4.6 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors or any

Corporation or at such other place or places, either within or without the State
of Delaware, as the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be,
may from time to time designate. Notice of such meetings shall be provided to
directors in accordance with the provisions of the GCL. Unless otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors, the annual meeting of the Board of
Directors shall be held immediately after the adjournment of the annual meeting
of stockholders.

<PAGE>   8
         4.7 Special Meetings.

         (a) Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called at any
time by the Chairman of the Board, the President or by a majority of the
authorized number of directors, to be held at the principal place of business of
the Corporation or at such other place or places as the Board of Directors or
the person or persons calling such meeting may from time to time designate.
Notice of all special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be given to each
director at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to such meeting if notice is
given in person or by telephone, telegraph, telex, facsimile or other electronic
transmission and at least five (5) days prior to such meeting if notice is given
in writing and delivered by courier or by postage prepaid mail. Such notice need
not specify the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, the meeting.
Any director may waive notice of any meeting by submitting a signed waiver of
notice with the Secretary, whether before or after the meeting. The attendance
of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting
at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

         (b) Special meetings of any committee of the Board of Directors may be
called at any time by such person or persons and with such notice as shall be
specified for such committee by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of
such specification, in the manner and with the notice required for special
meetings of the Board of Directors.

         4.8 Waiver of Notice. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends
for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because
the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. A waiver of notice signed by the
director or directors, whether before or after the time stated for the meeting,
shall be equivalent to the giving of notice.

         4.9 Quorum; Actions of the Board of Directors. Except as may be
otherwise specifically provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or
these Bylaws, at all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the
entire Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at
which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors. If a quorum
shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors
present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other
than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

         4.10 Action by Directors Without a Meeting. Any action required or
which may be taken at a meeting of the directors, or of a committee thereof, may
be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so
taken or to be taken, shall be signed by all of the directors, or all of the
members of the committee, as the case may be, and such consents are filed with
the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case
may be. Such consent shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote.

         4.11 Conduct of Meetings. Meetings of the Board shall be presided over
by the Chairman of the Board, and in the absence or disability of the Chairman
of the Board by the President. If the Chairman of the Board and the President
are absent from any meeting of the Board, the Director

                                       8
<PAGE>   9
then currently serving who is senior in tenure on the Board, or such other
Director as shall be designated by a majority vote of the Directors present,
shall preside. The Chairman (or other person presiding) shall conduct all
meetings of the Board in accordance with the best interests of the Corporation
and shall have the authority and discretion to establish reasonable procedural
rules for the conduct of Board meetings. Any one or more Directors may
participate in a meeting of the Board or committee by means of a conference
telephone or 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 any such meeting, subject to any applicable
provisions of the GCL.

        4.12 Registering Dissent. A director who is present at a meeting of the
Board of Directors at which action on a corporate matter is taken shall be
presumed to have assented to such action unless his dissent shall be entered in
the minutes of the meeting, or unless he shall file his written dissent to such
action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting, before the
adjournment thereof, or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the
Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting.
Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such
action.

        4.13 Executive and Other Committees. The Board of Directors may, by
resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more
committees which in each case consist of one or more directors of the
Corporation, and may from time to time invest such committees with such powers
as it may see fit, subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by the Board.
An Executive Committee may be appointed by resolution passed by a majority of
the full Board of Directors. It shall have and exercise all of the authority of
the Board of Directors, except in reference to amending the Certificate of
Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation or plan of
voluntary liquidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or
exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all the property and
assets of the Corporation, declaring a dividend on the Corporation's capital
stock or amending these Bylaws. The designation of any such committee, and the
delegation of authority thereto, shall not relieve the Board of Directors, or
any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed by law.

        4.14 Remuneration. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of
attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum
for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors, a stated salary as
director and/or such other compensation as may be fixed by the Board of
Directors. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like
compensation for serving on committees of the Board of Directors. No such
payments shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other
capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

        4.15 Nominations of Directors Subject to the rights of holders of any
class or series of stock having a preference over the common stock as to
dividends or upon liquidation, nominations for the election of directors may be
made by the Board of Directors or committee appointed by the Board of Directors
or by any stockholder entitled to vote generally in an election of directors.
However, any stockholder entitled to vote generally in an election of directors
may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if
written notice of such stockholder's intent to make such nomination or
nominations has been given, either by personal delivery or by United States
mail, postage prepaid to the Secretary of the Corporation, which notice is
delivered to or

                                       9

following its acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank,
which is expected to be held in July 1998, any such nomination by a stockholder
must be so delivered or received no later than the close of business on
Thursday, March 26, 1998, notwithstanding a determination by the Corporation to
schedule such first Annual Meeting later than July 1998, and (ii) with respect
to an election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders for the election
of directors, the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which
