                  United States mail addressed to the shareholder at his address
                  as it appears on the stock transfer records of the bank, with
                  postage thereon prepaid.

         2.5.     Closing of Stock Transfer Records or Fixing of Record Date:
                  For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice
                  of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any
                  adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitle to receive
                  payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination
                  of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of
                  directors may provide that the stock transfer records of the
                  corporation shall be closed for a stated period but not to
                  exceed in any case 50 days. If the stock transfer records
                  shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders
                  entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders,
                  such books shall be closed for at least 10 days immediately
                  preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer
                  records, the board of directors may fix, in advance, a date as
                  the record date for any such determination of shareholder,
                  which date in any case shall note be more than 50 days and, in
                  case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than 10 days prior
                  to the date on which the particular action requiring such
                  determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to
                  vote at, a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled
                  to receive payment of a dividend. When a determination of
                  shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders
                  has been made as provided in this section, such determination
                  shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

         2.6.     Voting Lists: At least 10 days before each meeting of the
                  shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock
                  transfer records for shares of the corporation shall make a
                  complete record of the shareholders entitled to vote at the
                  meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical
                  order, with the address of and the number of shares held by
                  each, which record for a period of 10 days prior to the
                  meeting shall be kept on file at the registered office of the
                  corporation. Such record shall be produced and kept open at
                  the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the
                  inspection of any shareholder for any proper purpose during
                  the whole time of the meeting. Failure to comply with the
                  requirements of this bylaw shall not affect the validity of
                  any action taken at the meeting.

         2.7.     Quorum: One-third of the outstanding shares of the corporation
                  entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
                  constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. The
                  shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue
                  to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the
                  withdrawal of sufficient shares to leave less than a quorum.
                  If less than one-third of the outstanding shares are
                  represented at a meeting, the meeting may be adjourned to such
                  time and place as may be determined, with the approval of a
                  majority of the shares represented at the meeting, without
                  further notice, except that any meeting at which directors are
                  to be elected shall be adjourned only from day to day until
                  such directors have been elected. At any adjourned meeting at
                  which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business
                  may be transacted which might have been transacted at the
                  meeting as originally called, and in the case of any adjourned
                  meeting called for the election of directors, those who attend
                  the second of the adjourned meetings, although less than a
                  quorum, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum of the purpose
                  of electing directors.

                  authorized attorney-in-fact. All proxies shall be filed with
                  the secretary of the corporation before or at the commencement
                  of meetings. No unrevoked proxy shall be valid after 11 months

                  directors, every shareholder of record entitled to vote at the
                  meeting of shareholders shall have the right to vote the
                  number of shares owned by him for as many persons as there are
                  directors to be elected by the holders of such shares.

                           the board of directors of such corporation may

                           authority so to do be contained in an appropriate
                           order of the court by which such receiver was

                           shall be conducted at the meeting except in
                           accordance with the procedures set forth in this

                           that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for
                           indemnification by the corporation as authorized in
                           this article; and (2) a written undertaking by or on
                           behalf of the director to repay such amount if it
                           shall ultimately be determined that he has not met
                           such standard of conduct.

                  The undertaking required by paragraph 9.7.2 of this subsection
                  shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but
                  need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to
                  financial ability to make the repayment. Payments pursuant to
                  this subsection may be authorized in the manner specified in
                  subsection 9.6 of this article.

         9.8.     No provision for the corporation to indemnify a director who
                  is made a party to a proceeding, whether contained in the
                  articles of incorporation, these bylaws, or resolution of
                  shareholders or directors, an agreement, or otherwise (except
                  as contemplated by subsection 9.11 of this article), shall be
                  valid unless consistent with this article, or to the extent
                  that indemnity hereunder is limited by the articles of
                  incorporation, consistent therewith. Nothing contained in this
                  article shall limit


                                       15

the corporation's ability to reimburse expenses incurred by a director in
connection with his appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when he
has not been made a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

         9.9.     For purposes of this article the corporation shall be deemed
                  to have requested a director to serve an employee benefit plan
                  where the performance by him of his duties to the corporation
                  also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, him
                  to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan;
                  excise taxes assessed on a director with respect to an
                  employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be
                  deemed "fines"; and action taken or omitted by him with
                  respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of his
                  duties for a purpose reasonably believed by him 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 corporation.

         9.10.    Unless otherwise limited by the articles of incorporation:

                  9.10.1.  the corporation shall provide indemnification,
                           including advances of expenses, to an officer,
                           employee or agent of the corporation to the same
                           extent that it may indemnify directors pursuant to
                           this article except that subsection 9.12 of this
                           article shall not apply to any person other than a
                           director; and

                  9.10.2.  the corporation, in addition, shall have the power to
                           indemnify an officer who is not a director, as well
                           as employees and agents of the corporation who are
                           not directors, to such further extent, consistent
                           with law, as may be provided by the articles of
                           incorporation, these bylaws, general or specific
                           action of the board of directors, or contract.

         9.11.    The corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain
                  insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director,
                  officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
                  serving at the request of the corporation as an officers,
                  employee or agent of another bank, corporation, partnership,
                  joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit
                  plan against any liability asserted against him and incurred
                  by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as
                  such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
                  indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of
                  this article.

         9.12.    Any indemnification of a director in accordance with this
                  article, including any payment or reimbursement of expenses,
                  shall be reported to the shareholders with the notice of the
                  next shareholders meeting, or prior thereto, in a written
                  report containing a brief description of the proceedings
                  involving the director being indemnified and the nature and
                  extent of such indemnification.
