BYLAWS
OF
MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS TRUST COMPANY
ARTICLE I
Meetings of Stockholders
Section 1. Annual Meeting: The Annual Meeting of Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company
(M&T Bank), for the election of directors and for transaction of such other business as may be
set forth in the notice of meeting, shall be held at the principal office of M&T Bank or at such
other place in the City of Buffalo, New York on the third Tuesday of April in each year, or on such
date and at such time as the Board of Directors shall determine.
Section 2. Special Meetings: Special meetings of the stockholders may be called to be held
at the principal office of M&T Bank or elsewhere within the State of New York at any time by the
Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, and
shall be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the
Corporate Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at the request in writing of five or more members of
the Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of the holders of record of at least 25% of
the outstanding shares of M&T Bank entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is to be called.
Section 3. Notice of Meetings: Written notice of each meeting of the stockholders shall be
given by depositing in the United States mail, postage prepaid, not less than 10 nor more than 50
days before such meeting, a copy of the notice of such meeting directed to each stockholder of
record entitled to vote at the meeting, at the address as it appears on the record of stockholders
for each such stockholder, or, if such stockholder shall have filed with the Corporate Secretary of
M&T Bank a written request that notices be mailed to some other address, then directed to such
other address. The notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called and, unless it is the annual meeting, indicate that the
notice is being issued by or at the direction of the person or persons calling the meeting. If
action is proposed to be taken at any meeting which would, if taken, entitle dissenting
stockholders to receive payment for their shares, the notice shall include a statement of that
purpose and to that effect. At each meeting of stockholders only such business may be transacted
which is related to the purpose or purposes set forth in the notice of meeting.
Section 4. Waiver of Notice: Whenever under any provisions of these bylaws, the organization
certificate, the terms of any agreement or instrument, or law, M&T Bank or the Board of Directors
or any committee thereof is authorized to take any action after notice to any person or persons or
after the lapse of a prescribed period of time, such action may be taken without notice and without
the lapse of such period of time, if at any time before or after such action is completed the
person or persons entitled to such notice or entitled to participate in the action to be taken or,
in the case of a stockholder, by such stockholders attorney-in-fact, submit a signed waiver of
notice of such requirements. The attendance of any stockholder at any meeting, in person or by
proxy, without protesting prior to the conclusion the lack of notice of such meeting, shall
constitute a waiver of notice by such stockholder.
-1-
Section 5. Procedure: At every meeting of stockholders the order of business and all other
matters of procedure may be determined by the person presiding at the meeting.
Section 6. List of Stockholders: A list of stockholders as of the record date, certified by
the officer of M&T Bank responsible for its preparation or by a transfer agent, shall be produced
at any meeting of stockholders upon the request thereat or prior thereto of any stockholder. If
the right to vote at any meeting is challenged, the inspectors of election, or person presiding
thereat, shall require such list of stockholders to be produced as evidence of the right of the
persons challenged to vote at such meeting, and all persons who appear from such list to be
stockholders entitled to vote thereat may vote at such meeting.
Section 7. Quorum: At all meetings of the stockholders of M&T Bank a quorum must be present
for the transaction of business and, except as otherwise provided by law, a quorum shall consist of
the holders of record of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of M&T Bank entitled to
vote thereat, present either in person or by proxy. When a quorum is once present to organize a
meeting of the stockholders, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any stockholders.
Section 8. Adjournments: The stockholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by
proxy at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum shall be present or represented at
the meeting, shall have power by a majority vote to adjourn the meeting from time to time without
further notice other than announcement at the meeting. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum
shall be present in person or by proxy any business may be transacted that might have been
transacted on the original date of the meeting, and the stockholders entitled to vote at the
meeting on the original date (whether or not they were present thereat), and no others, shall be
entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting.
Section 9. Voting; Proxies: Each stockholder of record entitled to vote shall be entitled at
every meeting of stockholders of M&T Bank to one vote for each share of stock having voting power
standing in each such stockholders name on the record of stockholders on the record date fixed
pursuant to Section 3 of Article VI of these bylaws. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a
meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent without a meeting may do so either in
person or by proxy appointed by instrument executed in writing by such stockholder or such
stockholders duly authorized attorney-in-fact and delivered to the secretary of the meeting. No
director, officer, clerk, teller or bookkeeper of M&T Bank shall act as proxy at any meeting. No
proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date of its execution unless
otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder
executing it except as otherwise provided by law. Directors elected at any meeting of the
stockholders shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. All other corporate action to be
taken by vote of the stockholders shall, except as otherwise provided by law or these bylaws, be
authorized by a majority of the votes cast. The vote for directors shall be by ballot, but
otherwise the vote upon any question before a meeting shall not be by ballot unless the person
presiding at such meeting shall so direct or any stockholder, present in person or by proxy and
entitled to vote thereon, shall so demand.
Section 10. Appointment of Inspectors of Election: The Board of Directors may, in advance of
any meeting of the stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any
adjournment thereof. If inspectors are not so appointed in advance of the meeting, the
-2-
person
presiding at such meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint one or more inspectors. In case any inspector appointed fails to
appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board of Directors in advance
of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. No director, officer or
candidate for the office of director of M&T Bank shall be eligible to act as an inspector of an
election of directors of M&T Bank. 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.
Section 11. Duties of Inspectors of Election: The inspectors of election shall determine the
number of shares outstanding and entitled to vote, the shares represented at the meeting, the
existence of a quorum, 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 stockholders.
ARTICLE II
Directors
Section 1. Number and Qualifications: Unless otherwise permitted by law, the number of
directors of M&T Bank shall be not less than seven (7) nor more than thirty (30), with the exact
number to be fixed from time to time by resolution of a majority of the directors, provided that
the number of directors shall not be reduced so as to shorten the term of any director at the time
in office; and provided, further, that, until the Sunset Date (as defined in Article X hereof),
without the consent of the Significant Stockholder (as defined in Article X hereof), the number of
directors shall not exceed twenty eight (28). If the number of directors be increased at any time,
within the limits above set forth, the vacancy or vacancies in the Board arising from such increase
shall be filled as provided in Section 4 of this Article II. Each such vacancy, and each reduction
in the number of directors, shall be reported to the Superintendent of Banks in the manner
prescribed by law. All of the directors shall be of full age, and at least one-half of them shall
be citizens of the United States at the time of their election and during their continuance in
office, unless otherwise permitted by law. No more than one-third of the directors shall be active
officers or employees of M&T Bank.
Section 2. Election and Tenure of Office:
(a) Except as otherwise provided by law or these bylaws, each director of M&T Bank shall be
elected at an annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders held in lieu
of such annual meeting, which meeting, for the purposes of these bylaws, shall be deemed the annual
meeting, and shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her
successor has been elected and qualified. Each person who shall be elected a director of M&T Bank
shall, before participating in any manner as a director of M&T Bank, qualify in the manner
prescribed by law and take and subscribe the oath prescribed by law.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
(i) for so long as the Significant Stockholder holds at least fifteen percent (15%) of the
outstanding shares of common stock of M&T Bank Corporation, the Board of
-3-
Directors shall nominate
and recommend for election as directors of M&T Bank four (4) persons
designated by the Significant Stockholder, each of whom is reasonably acceptable to M&T Bank;
(ii) for so long as the Significant Stockholder holds at least ten percent (10%), but less
than fifteen percent (15%), of the outstanding shares of common stock of M&T Bank Corporation, the
Board of Directors shall nominate and recommend for election as directors of M&T Bank two (2)
persons designated by the Significant Stockholder, each of whom is reasonably acceptable to M&T
Bank;
(iii) for so long as the Significant Stockholder holds at least five percent (5%), but less
than ten percent (10%), of the outstanding shares of common stock of M&T Bank Corporation, the
Board of Directors shall nominate and recommend for election as a director of M&T Bank one (1)
person designated by the Significant Stockholder, who is reasonably acceptable to M&T Bank.
(iv) For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of common stock of M&T Bank
Corporation for purposes of this Article II, Section 2(b), there shall be used the number of shares
of common stock of M&T Bank Corporation disclosed as outstanding on the cover page of M&T Bank
Corporations most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K or Report on Form 10-Q, as the case
may be, or the number of shares of common stock of M&T Bank Corporation actually outstanding as of
a later date, if requested by M&T Bank or the Significant Stockholder, determined on the same basis
as the number of shares disclosed on such Reports. Any share held by any direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Significant Stockholder of which the Significant Stockholder holds 80% or more of
the outstanding equity capital or voting shares shall be deemed held by the Significant
Stockholder. In the event that the transaction that would result in the Significant Stockholders
holdings being below any threshold set forth herein is a transaction that gives rise to an Issuance
Event (as defined in Article X hereof), no diminution in the percentage of the outstanding shares
of common stock of the Corporation held by the Significant Stockholder shall be deemed to have
occurred until the earlier of such time as the Significant Stockholder gives written notice that it
shall not exercise its Maintenance Rights (as defined in Article X hereof) or the deadline for
exercise of such Maintenance Rights has passed without the Significant Stockholder having provided
notice that it shall exercise the same. No diminution in the percentage of outstanding shares of
common stock held by the Significant Stockholder shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of
any issuance of shares that is subject to the Corporations repurchase obligations under Section
7.2(c) or Section 7.2(e) of the Reorganization Agreement. In the event that the Significant
Stockholders holdings decrease to less than fifteen percent (15%), but not less than twelve
percent (12%), of the outstanding common stock, the Significant Stockholders holdings shall be
deemed to be equal to fifteen percent (15%) for all purposes of the definition of Sunset Date and
of this Article II, Section 2(b), unless, not later than one year from the date on which the
Significant Stockholders holdings decreased to less than fifteen percent (15%), the Significant
Stockholders holdings have not been restored to at least fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding
shares of common stock of M&T Bank Corporation.
(v) In the event that M&T Bank objects to any designee for Board service on the grounds that
such designee is not reasonably acceptable under any provision of this Article II, Section 2(b),
M&T Bank shall fully cooperate and shall use best efforts to work with the
-4-
Significant Stockholder
to promptly resolve any such objection so that such designee may as promptly as practicable serve
in the capacity for which he or she has been designated or, in the
alternative, to promptly identify a substitute candidate that is reasonably acceptable, in
order to give effect to the intention of the M&T Bank and the Significant Stockholder regarding
Board representation contemplated by this Article II, Section 2(b).
Section 3. Resignation: Any director of M&T Bank may resign at any time by giving his or her
resignation to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the
Corporate Secretary. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein; and, unless
otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective.
Section 4. Vacancies: Except as set forth in Article II, Section 2(b) or as hereinafter
provided, all vacancies in the office of director shall be filled by election by the stockholders
entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders notice of which shall have referred to the
proposed election. Subject to Article II, Section 2(b), vacancies not exceeding one-third of the
entire Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office,
and the directors so elected shall hold office for the balance of the unexpired term; or two
vacancies may, with the consent of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York, be left
unfilled until the next annual election. Each vacancy in the office of director and each election
by the Board of Directors to fill any such vacancy shall be reported to the Superintendent of Banks
in the manner provided by law.
Section 5. Directors Fees: Directors, except salaried officers of M&T Bank who are
directors, may receive a fee for their services as directors and traveling and other out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in attending any regular or special meeting of the Board. The fee may be a fixed
sum for attending each meeting of the Board of Directors or a fixed sum paid monthly, quarterly, or
semiannually, irrespective of the number of meetings attended or not attended. The amount of the
fee and the basis on which it shall be paid shall be determined by resolution of the Board of
Directors.
Section 6. Meetings of Directors: A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held
at least six times each year, provided that during any three consecutive calendar months the Board
shall meet at least once. The first meeting of the Board of Directors after each annual meeting of
the stockholders shall be held immediately after the adjournment of such annual meeting and shall
constitute the regular meeting of the Board of Directors for the month in which such first meeting
is held. The Board of Directors shall, from time to time, designate the place, date and hour for
the holding of regular meetings but, in the absence of any such designation, regular meetings of
the Board of Directors shall be held at the principal office of M&T Bank in the City of Buffalo,
New York, at 11:00 oclock a.m., on the third Tuesday of each January, February, April, July,
September and October. No notice need be given of such regular meetings except such notice as these
bylaws or the Board of Directors by resolution may require. Special meetings of the Board of
Directors shall be held at such times and at such places as the Board of Directors or the Chairman

less than 1 day before the meeting by telephoning or by delivering the same to each member of the
Board personally, or by sending the same by facsimile or electronic mail to his or her residence or

signed waiver of notice whether before or after the meeting, or who attends the meeting without
protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to him or her. The notice of
any special meeting of the Board of Directors need not specify the purpose or purposes for which
the meeting is called, except as provided in Article IX of these bylaws.
Section 8. Quorum: At all meetings of the Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided
by law or these bylaws, a quorum shall be required for the transaction of business and shall
consist of not less than one-third of the entire Board, and the vote of a majority of the directors
present shall decide any question which may come before the meeting. A majority of the directors
present at any meeting, although less than a quorum, may adjourn the meeting from time to time,
without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.
Section 9. Meetings by Conference Telephone: Any one or more members of the Board of
Directors or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means
of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in
the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by such means shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.
Section 10. Procedure: The order of business and all other matters of procedure at every
meeting of directors may be determined by the person presiding at the meeting.
Section 11. The Chairman of the Board: The Board of Directors shall annually, at the first

ARTICLE V
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 1. Right of Indemnification: Each director and officer of M&T Bank, whether or not
then in office, each director and officer of a subsidiary that M&T Bank directly or indirectly owns
more than 50% of the voting securities of, whether or not then in office, and any
person whose testator or intestate was such a director or officer, shall be indemnified by M&T
Bank for the defense of, or in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed actions or
proceedings and appeals therein, whether civil, criminal, governmental, administrative or
investigative, in accordance with and to the fullest extent permitted by the Banking Law of the
State of New York or other applicable law, as such law now exists or may hereafter be amended;
provided, however, that M&T Bank shall provide indemnification in connection with an action or
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such a director or officer only if such action or
proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.
Section 2. Advancement of Expenses: Expenses incurred by a director or officer in connection
with any action or proceeding as to which indemnification may be given under Section 1 of this
Article V may be paid by M&T Bank in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding
upon (a) receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
advancement in the event that such director or officer is ultimately found not to be entitled to
indemnification as authorized by this Article V and (b) approval by the Board of Directors acting
by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding or, if such a
quorum is not obtainable, then approval by stockholders. To the extent permitted by law, the Board
of Directors or, if applicable, the stockholders, shall not be required under this Section 2, to
find that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct provided by law for
indemnification in connection with such action or proceeding.
Section 3. Availability and Interpretation: To the extent permitted under applicable law,
the rights of indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in this Article V (a)
shall be available with respect to events occurring prior to the adoption of this Article V, (b)
shall continue to exist after any recision or restrictive amendment of this Article V with respect
to events occurring prior to such recision or amendment, (c) may be interpreted on the basis of
applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the
action or proceeding, or on the basis of applicable law in effect at the time such rights are
claimed, and (d) are in the nature of contract rights which may be enforced in any court of
competent jurisdiction as if M&T Bank and the director or officer for whom such rights are sought
were parties to a separate written agreement.
Section 4. Other Rights: The rights of indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
provided in this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any such
director, officer or other person may now or hereafter be otherwise entitled whether contained in
the organization certificate, these bylaws, a resolution of stockholders, a resolution of the Board
of Directors, or an agreement providing such indemnification, the creation of such other rights
being hereby expressly authorized. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the rights of
indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in this Article V shall not be deemed
exclusive of any rights, pursuant to statute or otherwise, of any such director, officer or other
person in any such action or proceeding to have assessed or allowed in his or her

favor, against

necessary to make it enforceable, and the remainder of this Article V shall remain fully
enforceable.
ARTICLE VI
Capital Stock
Section 1. Certificates of Stock: The shares of stock of M&T Bank shall be represented by
certificates which shall be numbered and shall be entered in the books of M&T Bank as they are
issued. Each stock certificate shall when issued state the name of the person or persons to whom
issued and the number of shares and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief
Executive Officer or the President or a Vice President and by the Corporate Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary, or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, and shall be sealed with the seal

facsimiles if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar.
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 M&T
Bank with the same effect as if he were such officer at the date of its issue. No certificate of
stock shall be valid until countersigned by a transfer agent if M&T Bank has a transfer agent, or
until registered by a registrar, if M&T Bank has a registrar.
Section 2. Transfers of Shares: Shares of stock shall be transferable on the books of M&T
Bank by the holder thereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon the surrender of the
certificate representing the shares to be transferred, properly endorsed. M&T Bank shall be
entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the owner thereof and
accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
share or shares on the part of any other person whether or not it shall have express or other
notice thereof, save as specifically provided by the laws of the State of New York. The Board of
Directors, to the extent permitted by law, shall have power and authority to make all such rules
and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of
certificates of stock and may appoint one or more transfer agents and registrars of the stock of
M&T Bank.
Section 3. Fixing of Record Date: The Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a day and hour
not more than 50 days nor less than 10 days before the date on which any meeting of stockholders is
to be held, as the time as of which stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting
and at all adjournments thereof shall be determined; and, in the event such record date and time is
fixed by the Board of Directors, no one other than the holders of record on such date and time of
stock entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be entitled to notice of or to vote at
such meeting or any adjournment thereof. If a record date and time shall not be fixed by the Board
of Directors for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting
of stockholders, stockholders of record at the close of business on the day next preceding the day
on which notice of such meeting is given, and no others, shall be entitled to notice of and to vote
at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. The Board of Directors may
-13-
fix, in advance, a day and
hour, not exceeding 50 days preceding the date fixed for the payment of a dividend of any kind or
the allotment of any rights, as the record time for the determination of the stockholders entitled
to receive any such dividend or rights, and in such case only stockholders of record at the time so
fixed shall be entitled to receive such dividend or rights.
Section 4. Record of Stockholders: M&T Bank shall keep at its office in the State of New
York, or at the office of its transfer agent or registrar in this state, a record containing the
names and addresses of all stockholders, the number and class of shares held by each and the dates
when they respectively became the owner of record thereof.
Section 5. Lost Stock Certificates: The holder of any certificate representing shares of
stock of M&T Bank shall immediately notify M&T Bank of any mutilation, loss or destruction thereof,
and the Board of Directors may in its discretion cause one or more new certificates for the same
number of shares in the aggregate to be issued to such holder upon the surrender of the mutilated
certificate, or, in case of loss or destruction of the certificate, upon satisfactory proof of such
loss or destruction and the deposit of indemnity by way of bond or otherwise in such form and
amount and with such sureties or security as the Board of Directors may require to protect M&T Bank
against loss or liability by reason of the issuance of such new certificates; but the Board of
Directors may in its discretion refuse to issue such new certificates save upon the order of the
court having jurisdiction in such matters.
ARTICLE VII
Corporate Seal
Section 1. Form of Seal: The seal of M&T Bank shall be circular in form, with the words
