                           CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
                                       of
                   SERIES E JUNIOR CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

                             EOS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

                 -----------------------------------------------
                         (Pursuant to Section 151 of the
                        Delaware General Corporation Law)
                 -----------------------------------------------

        Eos International, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the
"Corporation"), hereby certifies that the following resolution was adopted by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation as required by Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law on December 10, 2002 at a meeting duly called and held:

        RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter called the "Board of
Directors") in accordance with the provisions of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), the Board
of Directors hereby creates a series of preferred stock, $0.01 par value, of the
Corporation and hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes
the relative rights, preferences, and limitations thereof as follows:

        Section 1.      Designation and Amount. The shares of this series shall
be designated as "Series E Junior Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series E
Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series E Preferred
Stock shall be 1,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by
resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no increase shall be made
after shares of Series E Preferred Stock have been issued and no decrease shall
reduce the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to a number less than
the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon
the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation
convertible into Series E Preferred Stock. Certificates representing ownership
in the Series E Preferred Stock shall contain a legend that the Series E
Preferred Stock is mandatorily convertible into shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation (the "Common Stock") as provided in Section 7. The rights of the
holders of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be junior to and subordinate to
the rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock.

        Section 2.      Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the rights of
the holders of any shares of any series of preferred stock (or any other stock)
ranking senior to the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the
holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds
legally available for that purpose; provided, however, that holders of the
Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive only such dividends as are
granted to holders of the Common Stock for which

<PAGE>


purpose each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be considered as 11,000
shares of Common Stock.

        Section 3.      Voting Rights; Repurchase; Issuance of Other Securities.
Except as required by law, holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall have the
same voting rights as and will vote together with holders of the Common Stock.
Each share of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 11,000 votes.
The Corporation shall have the right to issue preferred stock ranking senior to
or on a parity with (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) the Series E Preferred Stock without the vote or consent of the
holders of Series E Preferred Stock.

        Section 4.      Certain Restrictions.

        (a)     So long as any shares of the Series E Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, the Corporation shall not redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire
for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series E Preferred Stock,
provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise
acquire (a) shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock
of the Corporation ranking junior (as to dividends and upon dissolution,
liquidation or winding up) to the Series E Preferred Stock, or (b) shares of any
such junior stock pursuant to the terms of compensation plans relating to
officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (c) shares of any such junior stock pursuant to the exercise of
dissenters' rights or otherwise as required by law, or (d) fractional shares of
any such junior stock in connection with any capital reorganization, or (e)
shares used as consideration for the exercise of derivative securities issued by
the Corporation.

        (b)     The Corporation shall not permit any Subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of
this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in
such manner.

        Section 5.      Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series E Preferred
Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner
whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof.
All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued
shares of preferred stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of
preferred stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth
herein or in the Certificate of Incorporation, including any Certificate of
Designations creating a series of preferred stock or any similar stock, or as
otherwise required by law.

        Section 6.      Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs
of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall have
a right prior to the payment of any amount to any class of preferred stock of
the Corporation junior to the Series E Preferred Stock, and on a pro rata basis
with any preferred stock of the Corporation on parity with (either as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) the Series E Preferred
Stock, to be paid for each share an amount (the "Liquidation Preference") equal
to $0.01. If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay the full
amount of the Liquidation Preference to all holders of shares of Series E
Preferred Stock, the assets shall be distributed ratably among the holders of
shares of Series E

                                        2

<PAGE>

Preferred Stock according to the number of shares held by each. After payment in
full of the Liquidation Preference to the holders of shares of Series E
Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed
among the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, Common Stock and other
securities junior to the Series E Preferred Stock, as set forth elsewhere in the
Certificate of Incorporation.

        Section 7.      Mandatory Conversion.

        (a)     All shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall become,
automatically, without any action by the holders thereof, shares of Common Stock
(the "Conversion") immediately upon the Corporation having a sufficient number
of authorized and unissued and not otherwise issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding warrants or options or upon conversion of other securities (other
than conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock) shares of Common Stock
sufficient to convert all shares of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of
Common Stock at the Exchange Ratio. For the purposes hereof, the "Exchange
Ratio" shall mean the issuance of 11,000 shares of Common Stock for each share
of Series E Preferred Stock.

        (b)     Within two days following the date on which the Corporation has
a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock to convert all shares
of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the Exchange
Ratio, the Secretary of the Corporation will certify to such in the minutes of
the Corporation (the "Certification"). Effective immediately upon the
Certification, all shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be
deemed converted to shares of Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio. Within
two days following the Certification and simultaneous Conversion, the
Corporation shall issue a letter to all holders of the Series E Preferred Stock
notifying such holders that the Series E Preferred Stock has been converted into
Common Stock and the date of the Conversion.

        (c)     Immediately upon the Conversion, all stock certificates
representing ownership of Series E Preferred Stock shall be deemed to represent
ownership in Common Stock, with the number of shares of Common Stock thereby
represented to be determined in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. Following
the Conversion, holders of Series E Preferred Stock may, but are not required
to, submit certificates representing ownership in Series E Preferred Stock for
certificates representing ownership in Common Stock. Upon the Conversion, no
shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding.

        Section 8.      No Right of Redemption. Holders of the Series E
Preferred Stock shall have no right whatsoever to cause the Corporation to
redeem all or any number of the outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred
Stock at any time. The Corporation shall have no right whatsoever to redeem all
or any number of the outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock at any
time.

        Section 9.      Anti-Dilution Adjustment. In the event that the
Corporation shall at any time or from time to time, after the issuance of shares
of Series E Preferred Stock but prior to the Conversion, (w) make a dividend or
distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in Capital Stock,
(x) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of
shares, (y) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares or (z) issue any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of
the Common Stock

                                        3

(an "Event"), then, and in each such case, (I) the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock which the holder would be entitled to receive upon the Conversion,
(II) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed held for each share of Series E
Preferred Stock for purposes of Section 2 and (III) the number of votes per
share of Series E Preferred Stock for purposes of Section 3 shall be adjusted
(and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Corporation) so that
such holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to (X) receive upon
Conversion the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock, (Y) the appropriate
number of shares of Common Stock deemed held for purposes of Section 2
consistent with the determination made in clause (I), and (Z) the appropriate
number of votes per share of Series E Preferred Stock for purposes of Section 3
consistent with the determination made in clause (I), which in each case shall
reflect the occurrence of the Event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section
9 shall become effective retroactively (x) in the case of any such dividend or
distribution, to a date immediately following the close of business on the
record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled
to receive such dividend or distribution or (y) in the case of any such
subdivision, combination or reclassification, to the close of business on the
day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.

        Section 10.     Definitions.

                        (i)     "Capital Stock" means, with respect to any
Person, any and all shares, interests, participations, rights in, or other
equivalent (however designated and whether voting or non-voting) of such
Person's capital stock and any and all rights, warrants or options exchangeable
for or convertible into such capital stock (but excluding any debt security
whether or not it is exchangeable for or convertible into such capital stock).

                        (i)     "Person" means any individual, firm,
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, incorporated or
unincorporated association, joint venture, joint stock company, governmental
body, or other entity of any kind.

                        (ii)    "Subsidiary" of the Corporation means (a) any
corporation, association or other business entity of which more than 50% of the
Voting Power is held by the Corporation or a Subsidiary and (b) any partnership
(i) the sole general partner or the managing general partner of which is the
Corporation or a Subsidiary of the Corporation or (ii) the only general partners
of which are the Corporation or of one or more Subsidiaries of the Corporation
(or any combination thereof).

                        (iii)   "Voting Power" of a Person is deemed to be held
by a second Person if shares or other interests of the first Person's capital
stock or other interests entitled (without regard to the occurrence of any
contingency) to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees thereof
and to vote on matters generally submitted to a vote of equity holders is at the
time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the second Person or by one
or more Subsidiaries of the second Person (or a combination thereof).
