        THIRD:    That Article 4, Paragraph B, Section 3 of the Certificate of Incorporation shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be inserted in lieu thereof:

    "Section 3    Voting Rights.    Each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock and each holder of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of all stockholders meetings in accordance with the Corporation's bylaws, and except as otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote."

        FOURTH:    That Article 4, Paragraph B, Section 6 of the Certificate of Incorporation shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be inserted in lieu thereof:

        "Section 6.    Redemption.    

            (a)    Optional Redemption.    

                (i)  The Corporation shall have the right to redeem, at any time when the capital of the Corporation is sufficient under applicable law to make such redemption, all or any of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed by paying for each such share an amount in cash equal to the Series A Preferred Liquidation Preference.

              (ii)  The Corporation shall have the right to redeem, at any time when the capital of the Corporation is sufficient under applicable law to make such redemption, all or any of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; provided, however, that without the consent of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (which consent may be withheld or delayed in the sole discretion of such holders), the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be redeemed unless all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have been, or will concurrently with the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock be, redeemed. All shares of



      Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed by paying for each such share an amount in cash equal to the Series B Preferred Liquidation Preference.

              (iii)  Subject to the next succeeding sentence, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right, by giving written notice (the "Series B Redemption Notice") to the Corporation at any time not less than five Business Days prior to the date of the redemption of one or more shares of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (i) above (the "Optional Redemption Date"), to require the Corporation to redeem, concurrently with the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to its pro rata share of (x) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding prior to giving effect to any redemption of Series B Preferred Stock to be effected pursuant to this clause (iii) multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and the denominator of which is the number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior to giving effect to such redemption. If the capital of the Corporation on any Optional Redemption Date is insufficient under applicable law to redeem the total number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Optional Redemption Date and the total number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock set forth in each Series B Redemption Notice to the Corporation (collectively, the "Redeemable Shares"), those funds which are legally available for redemption shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of the Redeemable Shares pro rata among the holders of the Redeemable Shares based upon the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Redeemable Shares held by each such holder. At any time thereafter when the capital of the Corporation is sufficient under applicable law to redeem all or any portion of such Redeemable Shares, the Corporation shall make such payments of such amounts as are legally available for redemption of such shares, to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for which capital is then legally sufficient, on the basis set forth above.

            (b)    Mandatory Redemption    

                (i)  The Corporation shall redeem, on October 1, 2008 (the "Mandatory Redemption Date"), all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed by paying for each such share an amount in cash equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference. If the capital of the Corporation on the Mandatory Redemption Date is insufficient under applicable law to redeem the total number of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Mandatory Redemption Date, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any payment legally available for redemption of such shares on the Mandatory Redemption Date according to the respective amounts which would be payable with respect to the full number of shares owned by such holders if all such outstanding shares were redeemed in full prior to any payments to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to subsection (ii) below. At any time thereafter when the capital of the Corporation is sufficient under applicable law to redeem such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall make such payments as are legally available for redemption of such shares to redeem the balance of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or such portion thereof for which capital is then legally sufficient, on the basis set forth above.

              (ii)  On the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem, all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed by paying for each such share an amount in cash equal to the Series B Liquidation Preference following the payment in full by the Corporation of all amounts payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to subsection (i) above. If the capital of the Corporation on any Redemption date is insufficient under applicable law to redeem the total number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed

2



      on the Mandatory Redemption Date, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any payment legally available for redemption of such shares on the Mandatory Redemption Date according to the respective amounts which would be payable with respect to the full number of shares owned by such holders if all such outstanding shares were redeemed in full. At any time thereafter when the capital of the corporation is sufficient under applicable law to redeem such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall make such payments as are legally available for redemption of such shares to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for which capital is then legally sufficient, on the basis set forth above.

            (c)    Redemption Mechanics.    

                (i)  At least 10 Business Days but not more than 30 days prior to any date on which the Corporation proposes to redeem any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to subsection (a) above, (each a "Redemption Date"), written notice (the "Redemption Notice") shall be given by the Corporation by mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission to non-U.S. residents, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the Corporation Redemption Notice is given) of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, notifying such holder of the redemption and specifying the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the applicable Liquidation Preference, the Redemption Date and the place where said Liquidation Preference shall be payable. In the event the Corporation proposes to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above, a copy of the Redemption Notice shall be given concurrently to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock. The Redemption Notice shall be addressed to each holder at his address as shown by the records of the Corporation. On the Mandatory Redemption Date the Corporation shall be obligated to redeem all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and upon mailing any Redemption Notice the Corporation shall become obligated to redeem at the time of redemption specified therein all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or Series B Preferred Stock therein specified, and in each such case all funds necessary for such redemption shall be set aside by the Corporation.

              (ii)  On or before any Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit the amount of the applicable Liquidation Preference thereof with a bank or trust company having an office in the City of Los Angeles, designated in the Redemption Notice, irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the holder of such share of Preferred Stock and thereafter such share shall be deemed to have been redeemed on the Redemption Date so specified, whether or not the certificate for such share of Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for redemption and canceled. Upon surrender to the Corporation by the holder of such share of Preferred Stock of the certificate representing such Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall immediately pay the applicable Liquidation Preference to such holder.

              (iii)  From and after the close of business on the Redemption Date or, if the Corporation does not redeem all shares of Preferred Stock required to be redeemed on such date, the date on which shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed following the Redemption Date, as contemplated in Sections 6(a)(iii), 6(b)(i) and (6)(b)(ii) above, which shares shall be deemed to be redeemed on the date on which the Corporation sends payment in full therefor, in cash, as provided in Section 6(a)(iii), 6(b)(i) or 6(b)(ii) above, as applicable, to the holders of shares being so redeemed (each a "Delayed Redemption Date"), all rights of holders of shares of Preferred Stock being so redeemed shall cease with respect to such shares on such Redemption Date or Delayed Redemption Date, as applicable, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.

3



              (iv)  In case fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate or certificates shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof."

        FIFTH:    Except as amended hereby, the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall remain in full force and effect.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be duly executed by an authorized officer this 8th day of April, 2002.

              (a)  Upon the occurence of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held thereby, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount in cash or, if applicable, other assets, property or stock, equal to (i) $1,000 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits or recapitalizations with respect to such shares) plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for such Liquidation (collectively, the "Series A Liquidation Preference"). If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference to the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, then the holders of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference to the holders of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, then the holders of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in proportion to the amounts that would be payable to such holders if such assets were sufficient to permit payment in full.

              (c)  After the holders of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and any other series of outstanding Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall have been paid in full the amounts to which they are entitled pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 5 or any other provisions of the Restated Certificate, including any certificate of designation adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of the Corporation's capital stock, if any, shall be distributed (i) 10.2% on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) 9.8% on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) 80% on a pro rata basis to the holders of shares of Common Stock.

If the capital of the Corporation on any Redemption Date is insufficient under applicable law to redeem the total number of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Mandatory Redemption Date, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any payment legally available for redemption of such shares on the Mandatory Redemption Date according to the respective amounts which would be payable with respect to the full number of shares owned by such holders if all such outstanding shares were redeemed in full. At any time thereafter when the capital of the Corporation is sufficient under applicable law to redeem such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall make such payments as are legally available for redemption of such shares to redeem the balance of such shares, or such portion thereof for which capital is then legally sufficient, on the basis set forth above.

              (c)    Redemption Mechanics.    

                  (i)  At least 10 Business Days but not more than 30 days prior to any date on which the Corporation proposes to redeem any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to subsection (a) above, (each a "Redemption Date"), written notice (the "Redemption Notice") shall be given by the Corporation by mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile transmission to non-U.S. residents, to each holder of record (at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the Corporation Redemption Notice is given) of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, notifying such holder of the redemption and specifying number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the applicable Liquidation Preference and the applicable Redemption Premium, the Redemption Date and the place where said Liquidation Preference and Redemption Premium shall be payable. In the event the Corporation proposes to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above, a copy of the Redemption Notice shall be given concurrently to each holder of record of Series B Preferred Stock. The Redemption Notice shall be addressed to each holder at his address as shown by the records of the Corporation. On the Mandatory Redemption Date the Corporation shall be obligated to redeem all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and upon mailing any Redemption Notice the Corporation shall become obligated to redeem at the time of redemption specified therein all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or Series B Preferred Stock

        therein specified, and in each such case all funds necessary for such redemption shall be set aside by the Corporation.

                (ii)  On or before any Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit the amount of the applicable Liquidation Preference and shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of the applicable Redemption Premium thereof with a bank or trust company having an office in the City of Los Angeles, designated in the Redemption Notice, irrevocably in trust for the benefit of the holder of such share of Preferred Stock and thereafter such share shall be deemed to have been redeemed on the Redemption Date so specified, whether or not the certificate for such share of Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for redemption and canceled. Upon surrender to the Corporation by the holder of such share of Preferred Stock of the certificate representing such Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall immediately pay the applicable Liquidation Preference and transfer the applicable Redemption Premium to such holder.

                (iii)  From and after the close of business on the Redemption Date or, if the Corporation does not redeem all shares of Preferred Stock required to be redeemed on such date, the date on which shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed following the Redemption Date, as contemplated in Sections 6(a)(iii), 6(b)(i) and 6(b)(ii) above, which shares shall be deemed to be redeemed on the date on which the Corporation sends payment in full therefor, in cash and shares of Common Stock, as provided in Sections 6(a)(iii), 6(b)(i) and 6(b)(ii) above, as applicable, to the holders of shares being so redeemed (each a "Delayed Redemption Date"), all rights of holders of shares of Preferred Stock being so redeemed shall cease with respect to such shares on such Redemption Date or Delayed Redemption Date, as applicable, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.

                (iv)  In case fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate or certificates shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.

                (v)  The aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock payable to any holder of Preferred Stock as a Redemption Premium on any Redemption Date shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

              (d)    Defined Terms.    

                (i)    "Series A Redemption Premium"    shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (A) the number of Series A Preferred shares for which the Series A Redemption Premium is being determined divided by the total number of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at such time, multiplied by (B) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time and 13.5%.

                (ii)    "Series B Redemption Premium"    shall be the number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to (A) the number of Series B Preferred shares for which the Series B Redemption Premium is being determined divided by the total number of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at such time, multiplied by (B) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time and 11.5%.

Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, as shall be requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate. The issuance of new certificates shall be made without charge to the holders of the surrendered certificates for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the surrendered certificate.
