election of directors and for the transaction of any other business as may
properly come before the meeting shall be held on the third Tuesday in May of
each year or on such other date as from time to time may be designated by the
Board of Directors.

Section 2.  Special Meetings.  A special meeting of the stockholders may be
----------------------------                                               
called at any time only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution
approved by a majority of the Board of Directors.

Section 3.  Place of Meetings.  The Board of Directors may designate any place,
-----------------------------                                                  
either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any
annual meeting or for any special meeting of stockholders.

Section 4.  Notice of Meetings.  Written notice stating the place, date and hour
------------------------------                                                  
of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes
for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or under the direction of the
Secretary, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
Except as otherwise required by statute, the written notice shall be given not
less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting.  If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United
States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it

<PAGE>
 
meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting.  Attendance of a
person at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such
meeting, except when the stockholder attends 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.  Any previously
scheduled meeting of the stockholders may be postponed, and (unless the
Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides) any special meeting of the
stockholders may be cancelled, by resolution of the Board of Directors upon
public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of
stockholders.

Section 5.  Quorum.  Except as otherwise required by statute, the presence at

any meeting, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares then issued and
outstanding and entitled to vote shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute
a quorum for the transaction of business.  The Chairman of the meeting or a
majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time,
whether or not there is such a quorum.  The stockholders present at a duly
called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business
until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to
leave less than a quorum.

Section 6.  Voting Lists.  The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the
------------------------                                                        
Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of
stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at
the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.
Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose
germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least
ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the
meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the
meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.
The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting
during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of record
who is present.

Section 7.  Adjourned Meetings.  When a meeting is adjourned to another time or
------------------------------                                                 
place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place
thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At the
adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have
been transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is for more than
thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the
adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 8.  Proxies.  Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting
-------------------                                                           
of stockholders may authorize another person or persons (but no more than two)
to act for him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon other
than at the meeting specified in the proxy or any adjournment of such meeting.

Section 9.  Voting Rights.  Except as otherwise provided by statute or by the
-------------------------                                                    
Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the provisions of Article VI of

Section 10.  Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.
----------------------------------------------------------- 

         A.  Annual Meetings of Stockholders.
         ----------------------------------- 

            (1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of
                the Corporation may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders
                pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Certificate of
                Incorporation.  Proposals of other business to be considered by
                the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of
                stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of
                meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or
                (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder
                of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this
                By-Law, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies
                with the notice procedures set forth in this By-Law.

            (2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before
                an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of
                paragraph (A)(1) of this By-Law, the stockholder must have given
                timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the
                Corporation and such business must otherwise be a proper matter
                for stockholder action.  To be timely, a stockholder's notice
                shall be delivered to or mailed, postage prepaid, and received
                by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
                Corporation at least 60 days but no more than 90 days prior to
                the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting
                of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the
                date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more
                than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the
                stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than
                the close of business on the 90th day prior to such annual
                meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of
                the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day
                following the day on which public announcement of the date of
                such meeting is first made by the Corporation.  In no event
                shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual
                meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a
                stockholder's notice as described above.  Such stockholder's
                notice shall set forth (a) as to director nominations, that
                information which is required by the Certificate of
                Incorporation; (b) as to any business, other than the nomination
                of director candidates, that the stockholder proposes to bring
                before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired
                to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting
                such business at the meeting and any material interest in such
                business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any,
                on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the
                stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any,
                on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name
                and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the
                Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
                the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are
                owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such
                beneficial owner.

            (3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph
                (A)(2) of this By-Law to the contrary, in the event that the
                number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of
                the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement
                by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or
                specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least
                70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's
                annual meeting, a stockholder's notice required by this By-Law
                shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to
                nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it
                shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive
                offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business
                on the 10th day following the day on which such public
                announcement is first made by the Corporation.

         B.  Special Meetings of Stockholders.
         ------------------------------------ 

            Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of
            stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant
            to the Corporation's notice of meeting.  Nominations of persons for
            election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at
            a special meeting of stockholders (a) by the Board of Directors, on
            behalf of the Board of Directors by any nominating committee
            appointed by the Board of Directors, or (b) provided that the Board
            of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such
            meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for
            the election of directors at the meeting.  In the event the
            Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose
            of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any
            such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may
            be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the
            Corporation's notice of meeting, if the stockholder's notice
            required by paragraph (A)(2) of this By-Law shall be delivered to
            the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
            not earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not
            later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior
            to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which
            public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting
            and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected
            at such meeting.  In no event shall the public announcement of an
            adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period for the
            giving of a stockholder's notice as described above.

         C.  General.
         ----------- 

            (1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the
                procedures set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and
                this By-Law shall be eligible to serve as directors and only
                such business shall be conducted at a 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
                meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the
                meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-
                Law. Whenever the language of a proposed resolution is included
                in a written notice of a meeting of stockholders the resolution
                may be adopted at such meeting with only such clarifying or
                other amendments as do not enlarge its original purpose without
                further notice to stockholders not present in person or by
                proxy. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of
                Incorporation or these By-Laws, the Chairman of the meeting
                shall have the power and duty to determine whether 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 this By-Law and, if any proposed nomination or business is
                not in compliance with the Certificate of Incorporation or this
                By-Law, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination
                shall be disregarded.

            (2) For purposes of this By-Law, "public announcement" shall mean
                disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News
                Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or
                in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the
                Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or
                15(d) of the Exchange Act.

            (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this By-Law, a
                stockholder 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
                stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the
                Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the
                Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred
                Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances.

Section 11.  Required Vote.  Except as otherwise required by statute or by the
--------------------------                                                    
Certificate of Incorporation, 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 decide any question brought before a meeting of the stockholders at which
a quorum is present.

Section 12.  Elections of Directors.  Elections of directors shall be by ballot,
-----------------------------------                                             
and, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to
elect directors under specified circumstances, a plurality of the votes cast
thereat shall elect directors.

Section 13.  Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls.  The Board
-------------------------------------------------------------------            
of Directors by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector
or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other
capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or
representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written
report thereof.  One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors
to replace any inspector who fails to act.  If no inspector or alternate has
been appointed to act or is able to act at 

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
a meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more
inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her
duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of
inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her
ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by law. The Chairman of
the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting 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.

--------------------------                                                      
the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the
Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 2.  Number.  The number of the Directors of the Corporation shall be
------------------                                                          
fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the entire Board of Directors of the Corporation, except that the
minimum number of directors shall be fixed at no less than eleven (11) and the
maximum number of directors shall be fixed at no more than thirty (30).  At each
annual meeting of stockholders, successors of the directors shall be elected for
a term expiring at the annual meeting next following such annual meeting.

Section 3.  Election and Term of Office.  Except as otherwise provided in these
---------------------------------------                                        
By-laws, directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders.
Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of
directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death,
resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even
though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.  A director,
including any director chosen to fill a newly created directorship or any
vacancy, shall hold office until the next annual meeting following his election
or appointment to the Board of Directors, as applicable, and until such
director's successor shall have been elected and qualified.  In no case will a
decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 4.  First Meetings.  The first meeting of each newly elected Board of
--------------------------                                                   
Directors shall be held without notice immediately after the annual meeting of
the stockholders for the purpose of the organization of the Board, the election
of officers, and the transaction of such other business as may properly come
before the meeting.

Section 5.  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be
----------------------------                                                    
held without notice at such times and at such places, within or without the
State of Delaware, as shall from time to time be determined by the Board.

Section 6.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be
----------------------------                                                    
called by the Chairman of the Board or the President.  Such meetings shall be
held at such times and at such places, within or without the State of Delaware,
as shall be determined by the officer calling the meeting.  Notice of any
special meeting of directors shall be given to each director at his business or
residence in writing by hand delivery, first-class or overnight mail or courier
service, telegram 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
or facsimile transmission, or orally by telephone. If mailed by first-class
mail, such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when deposited in the
United States mails so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid, at least two (2)
days before such meeting. If by telegram, overnight mail or courier service,
such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when the telegram is delivered
to the telegraph company or the notice is delivered to the overnight mail or
courier service company at least twenty-four (24) hours before such meeting. If
by facsimile transmission, such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when
the notice is transmitted at least twelve (12) hours before such meeting. Such
notice need not state the purposes of the meeting. Any or all directors may
waive notice of any meeting, either before or after the meeting. Attendance of a
director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except when the director attends 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.

Section 7.  Quorum, Required Vote, and Adjournment.  The presence, at any
--------------------------------------------------                       
meeting, of a majority of the whole Board shall be necessary and sufficient to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  Except as otherwise
required by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the vote of a
majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present
shall be the act of the Board of Directors.  In the absence of a quorum, a
majority of the directors present at the time and place of any meeting may

------------------------------------------------------------                 
the Corporation and such other persons as may be authorized by the Chairman of
the Board, the President, or any Vice Chairman of the Board from time to time
are severally and respectively authorized to execute documents and to take
actions in the Corporation's name in connection with transactions conducted in
the ordinary course of the Corporation's business.  With respect to all other

its duly authorized depositories shall be made in such manner as the Board of
Directors from time to time may determine.

Section 3.  Proxies and Consents.  Proxies to vote and written consent with
--------------------------------                                           
respect to shares of stock of other corporations owned by or standing in the
name of the Corporation may be executed and delivered from time to time on
behalf of the Corporation by the Chairman, the President, any Vice Chairman, any
Vice President, the Secretary or the Treasurer of the Corporation, or by any
other person or persons duly authorized by the Board of Directors.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

------------------------------                                               
Corporation shall be evidenced by a certificate or certificates signed by, or in
the name of the Corporation by the Chairman, President, Vice Chairman or a Vice
President, and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation
certifying the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation and in such form
not inconsistent with the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law as the
Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe.  If such certificate is
countersigned (1) by a transfer agent, whether or not a subsidiary of the
Corporation, other than the Corporation or its employee, or (2) by a registrar,
whether or not a subsidiary of the Corporation, other than the Corporation or
its employee, the signatures of the officers of the Corporation may be
facsimiles. 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 be issued by the Corporation with the same effect
as if he were such officer at the date of issue.

Section 2.  Transfer of Stock.  Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be
-----------------------------                                              
transferred on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof
or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation
of the certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or
persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer,
authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and
accompanied by all necessary stock transfer tax stamps.  In that event it shall
be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled
thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction on its books.

Section 3.  Rights of Corporation with Respect to Registered Owners.  Prior to
-------------------------------------------------------------------           
the surrender to the Corporation of the certificates for shares of stock with a
request to record the transfer of such shares, the Corporation may treat the
registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to
receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an
owner.

Section 4.  Transfer Agents and Registrars.  The Board of Directors may make
------------------------------------------                                  
such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issuance and
transfer of certificates for shares of the stock of the Corporation and may
appoint transfer agents or registrars or both, and may require all certificates
of stock to bear the signature of either or both.  Nothing herein shall be
construed to prohibit the Corporation or any subsidiary of it from acting as its
own transfer agent or registrar at any of its offices.

Section 5.  Lost, Destroyed and Stolen Certificates.  Where the owner of a
---------------------------------------------------                       
certificate for shares claims that such certificate has been lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate in place of the
original certificate if the owner satisfies such reasonable requirements,
including evidence of such loss, destruction, or wrongful taking, as may be
imposed by the Corporation, including but without limitation, the delivery to
the Corporation of an indemnity bond satisfactory to it.

                                  ARTICLE IX

                                Indemnification

Section 1.  Contract Right.  The right to indemnification conferred in the
--------------------------                                                
Certificate of Incorporation and this By-Law shall be a contract right and shall
include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such advances
to be paid by the Corporation within 20 days after the receipt by the
Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such
advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that the payment of
such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a
director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without
limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final
disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation
of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all
amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this By-Law or otherwise.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
 
Section 2.  Submission of Claim. To obtain indemnification under this By-Law, a
-------------------------------                                                
claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or
therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the
claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the
claimant is entitled to indemnification.  In the event the determination of
entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel (as
hereinafter defined) as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, the
Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors unless there
shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of
the action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a "Change of
Control" as defined in the Corporation's Stock Performance Plan, in which case
the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant
shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors.  If it is
so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the
claimant shall be made within 10 days after such determination.

Section 3.  Unpaid Claim.  If a claim under Section 1 of this By-Law is not paid
------------------------                                                        
in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a written claim pursuant to
Section 2 of this By-Law has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may
at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid
amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall
be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be
a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim
for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been
tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of
conduct which makes it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount
claimed.  It shall also be a defense if indemnification is not permissible under
applicable banking statutes or regulations.  The burden of proving any such
defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation
(including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or 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 or she
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the Corporation
(including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the
claimant has not met such 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 4.  Binding Determination.  If a determination shall have been made
---------------------------------                                          
pursuant to Section 2 of this By-Law that the claimant is entitled to
indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any
judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 3 of this By-Law.

Section 5.  Binding Effect on Corporation.  The Corporation shall be precluded
-----------------------------------------                                     
from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 3 of
this By-Law that the procedures and presumptions of this By-Law are not valid,
binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the
Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this By-Law.

Section 6.  Non-exclusivity.  The right to indemnification and the payment of
---------------------------                                                  
expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition
conferred in this By-Law shall not be exclusive of any other right which any
person may have or hereafter acquire under any 

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, agreement, vote
of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise. No repeal or
modification of this By-Law shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the
rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation hereunder
in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or
modification.

Section 7.  Employees and Agents.  The Corporation may, to the extent authorized
--------------------------------                                                
from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification,
and rights to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the
Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this By-Law with respect
to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of
the Corporation.

Section 8.  Validity.  If any provision or provisions of this By-Law shall be
--------------------                                                         
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (1) the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this By-Law
(including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this By-Law
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that
is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby; and (2) to the fullest extent possible, the
provisions of this By-Law (including, without limitation, each such portion of
any Section of this By-Law containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent
manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

            applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would
            not have a conflict of interest in representing either the
            Corporation or the claimant in an action to determine the claimant's
            rights under this By-Law.

Section 10. Notice.  Any notice, request or other communication required or
------------------
