enter into any agreement to effect any merger, consolidation or similar
transaction, or effect any merger, consolidation or similar transaction, that
provides or results in the conversion, exchange or repurchase of shares of its
Common Stock and Class A Nonvoting Common Stock unless the consideration to be
received by the holders thereof is identical on a per-share basis.

     This amendment shall be effective at 4:15 P.M. on the date that such
amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware."

SECOND:  That thereafter, pursuant to resolution of its Board of Directors, a

corporate action to those stockholders who did not consent thereto in writing.
The necessary number of shares as required by statute was voted in favor of
the amendment.

THIRD: That said amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions
of Sections 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

series of related transactions and on the proposed merger or consolidation of
the Corporation with another corporation or entity.  No dividends may be
declared or paid and no other distributions of cash, securities or property
may be made by the Corporation in respect of any shares of Common Stock unless
simultaneously therewith a dividend or distribution identical on a per-share
basis is declared, paid or made, as the case may be, in respect of all
outstanding shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock.  The Corporation may not
enter into any agreement to effect any merger, consolidation or similar
transaction, or effect any merger, consolidation or similar transaction, that
provides or results in the conversion, exchange or repurchase of shares of its
Common Stock and Class A Nonvoting Common Stock unless the consideration to be
received by the holders thereof is identical on a per-share basis.

     The board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitation
prescribed by Law, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred in
one or more series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law
of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares
to be included in each such series, and to fix the designations, powers,
preferences, and rights of the shares of each such series and any
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.  The number of authorized
shares of Preferred may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of
shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the Common Stock, without a vote of the holders of Preferred, or
of any series thereof, unless a vote of such holders, is required pursuant to
the certificate or certificates establishing the series of Preferred."

                           CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
                                      OF
                         CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Ramtron International Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under
and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:

FIRST:  That the Board of Directors of said corporation, at a meeting held,
adopted a resolution proposing and declaring advisable the following amendment
to the Certificate of Incorporation of said corporation.

     "FOURTH.  The total number of shares of capital stock which the
Corporation shall have authority to issue is 63,500,000, consisting of
53,500,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common"),
and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the
"Preferred").

     The Common shall be divided into two classes, consisting of 50,000,000
shares designated Common Stock and 3,500,000 shares designated Class A
Nonvoting Common Stock.  The powers, preferences and rights of the Common
Stock and the Class A Nonvoting Common Stock shall be identical in all
respects, share for share, except that the shares of Common Stock shall
entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote for each share on all matters on
which stockholders are entitled or required to vote, and the shares of Class A
Nonvoting Common Stock shall not entitle the holder thereof to voting rights,
with the exception that holders of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock may vote,
together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, on the proposed
liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, the sale of substantially all
of the assets of the Corporation in one transaction or a series of related
transactions and on the proposed merger or consolidation of the Corporation
with another corporation or entity.  No dividends may be declared or paid and
no other distributions of cash, securities or property may be made by the
Corporation in respect of any shares of Common Stock unless simultaneously
therewith a dividend or distribution identical on a per-share basis is
declared, paid or made, as the case may be, in respect of all outstanding
shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock.  The Corporation may not enter into
any agreement to effect any merger, consolidation or similar transaction, or
effect any merger, consolidation or similar transaction, that provides or
results in the conversion, exchange or repurchase of shares of its Common
Stock and Class A Nonvoting Common Stock unless the consideration to be
received by the holders thereof is identical on a per-share basis.

     At the effective time of this amendment, each outstanding share of Common
Stock and shares of Common Stock held as treasury shares shall be converted
into and be reconstituted as one-seventh share of Common Stock.  No fractional
shares shall be issued upon such conversion and reconstitution, and the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest
whole share.  If a fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would,
except for the provisions of the preceding sentence, be deliverable upon such
conversion and reconstitution, the Corporation shall pay an amount in cash
equal to the fair market value of such fractional interest, as determined by
the Corporation's Board of Directors, to each holder of Common Stock to whom
such fractional interest would have been deliverable.
<PAGE>
     The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations
prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred in
one or more series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law
of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares
to be included in each such series, and to fix the designations, powers,
preferences, and rights of the shares of each such series and any
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.  The number of authorized
shares of Preferred may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of
shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the Common Stock, without a vote of the holders of the Preferred,
or of any series thereof, unless a vote of such holders is required pursuant
to the certificate or certificates establishing the series of Preferred."

SECOND:  That holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of the
Company have approved said amendment by written consent in accordance with the
provisions of Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.

THIRD:  That the aforesaid amendments were duly adopted in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said Ramtron International Corporation has caused this
certificate to be signed by Richard L. Horton, its President, and attested by
David M. Becker, its Secretary, this 5th day of June 1992.

            Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law
                         of the State of Delaware

RAMTRON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), a
corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, does hereby certify:

THAT, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation, and pursuant to
the providing of Section 151 of the Delaware Corporation Law, said Board of
Directors, at a meeting duly held on October 30, 1992, duly adopted a
resolution providing for the issuance of a series of 1,365,046 shares of
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 Par Value, which
resolution is as follows:

     RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted and vested in
the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions
of its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, a series of Preferred Stock
of the Corporation be and it hereby is given the distinctive designation of
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 Par Value (hereinafter
referred to as the "Series A Preferred Stock"), said Series to consist of
1,365,046 shares of the par value of $0.01 per share, of which the preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, shall be as follows:

1.  Dividends on Series A Preferred Stock.  The holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the
Board of Directors out of the funds of the Corporation legally available
therefor, cumulative dividends at the annual rate of eight percent (8%) per
annum calculated on a stated value of $14.00 per share of Series A Preferred
Stock; provided, however, that dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall
be payable only in Common Stock of the Corporation which, for purposes of such
dividends, shall have a deemed value of $14.00 per share of Common Stock.  Any
fractional shares of the Corporation's Common Stock otherwise issuable
pursuant to this paragraph shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.  If
the dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for any dividend period shall not
have been paid or set apart in full for the Series A Preferred Stock, the
aggregate deficiency shall be cumulative and shall be fully paid or set apart
for payment before any dividends shall be paid upon or set apart for payment
for any class of Common Stock of the Corporation.  Accumulations of dividends
on the Series A Preferred Stock shall not bear interest.

2.  Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock.

    (a)  Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 2, the holder of record
of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at
his option, at any time after the issuance of said shares and prior to
June 30, 1993, to convert each said share of Series A Preferred Stock into one
fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock of the Corporation.
<PAGE>
    (b)  Any holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock desiring to convert
such Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock of the Corporation shall
surrender the certificate or certificates representing the share or shares of
Series A Preferred Stock so to be converted, duly indorsed to the Corporation
or in blank, at the principal office of the Corporation (or such other place
as may be designated by the Corporation), and shall given written notice to
the Corporation at said office that he elects to convert the same, and setting
forth the name or names (with the address or addresses) in which the shares of
Common Stock are to be issued.

If the last day for the exercise of the conversion right in the city where the
principal place of business of the Corporation (or in the city of the
principal office of such other entity as the Corporation shall have designated
as the place so to surrender Series A Preferred Stock for conversion, as
aforesaid) shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are
authorized by law to close, then such conversion right may be exercised in
such city on the next succeeding day not in such city a legal holiday or a day
on which banking institutions are authorized by law to close.

    (c)  Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the
following additional terms and provisions:

         (1)  As promptly as practicable after the surrender for conversion of
any Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be
delivered at the principal office of the Corporation (or such other place as
may be designated by the Corporation), to or upon the written order of the
holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, certificates representing the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or names as
such holder may direct.  Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date of the
surrender of the Series A Preferred Stock for conversion, as provided above,
and the rights of the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock shall cease at
such time, and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates
for such shares are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having
become the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time;
provided, however, that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer
books of the Corporation shall be closed shall constitute the person or
persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares are to be
issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close
of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are
open.

         (2)  The Corporation shall at the time of such conversion pay to the
holder of record of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock any
accrued but unpaid dividends on said Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered
for conversion, in accordance with paragraph (1) above.

         (3)  In the event that the Corporation shall at any time subdivide or
combine into a greater or lesser number of shares the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased in the case of
subdivision or decreased in the case of combination, effective in either case
at the close of business on the date when such subdivision or combination
shall become effective.
<PAGE>
         (4)  No adjustment of the conversion ratio shall be made by reason of
the issuance, other than as provided in subparagraph (3) above, of any shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation, or of any securities convertible into
shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or of any
rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common
Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or of any other securities of
the Corporation, provided that in the event the Corporation offers any of its
Common Stock pursuant to any rights that may be granted to such holders of
Common Stock by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Corporation
shall mail written notice of such offer to the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock then of record at least twenty (20) days prior to the record
date for the determination of holders of the Common Stock entitled to receive
any such offer.

         (5)  The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available
solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock,
as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable
upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

3.  Redemption of Series A Preferred Stock.

    (a)  The Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed mandatorily without
further action or resolution of the Corporation's Board of Directors,
on June 30, 1993, if the Series A Preferred Stock has not been converted into
Common Stock, as provided in paragraph 2 above, prior to such date.  Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed for one fully paid and
non-assessable share of Common Stock of the Corporation.

    (b)  Upon such redemption date, the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and
shall have no interest in or claim against the Corporation by virtue thereof
and shall have no voting or other rights with respect to such shares, except
the right to receive the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation payable
upon such redemption from the Corporation upon surrender (and indorsement, if
required by the Corporation) of the certificates, and the shares represented
thereby shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding.

    (c)  The Corporation shall, at the time of such redemption, pay to the
holder of record of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock any
accrued but unpaid dividends on said Series A Preferred Stock so surrendered
for redemption, in accordance with paragraph 1 above.

    (d)  The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available solely
for the purpose of issue upon redemption of Series A Preferred Stock, as
herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable
upon the redemption of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

4.  Voting Rights.  Except as may be otherwise provided in this Certificate of
Incorporation or by applicable law, the holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock
shall not be entitled to any vote in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock
at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation.

5.  Redemption of Series A Preferred Stock in the Event of Dissolution.  In
the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the
Corporation, whether voluntary or otherwise, the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive one fully paid and non-assessable
share of Common Stock of the Corporation for each share of Series A Preferred
Stock, plus an amount of Common Stock, calculated in accordance with paragraph
1 above, equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid on each such share up to
the date fixed for distribution.  Thereafter, the holders of such Common Stock
shall be treated equally with the other holders of Common Stock of the
Corporation with respect to such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
affairs of the Corporation.
<PAGE>
6.  Limitations on Corporation; Shareholder Consent.  So long as any shares of
Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without
the affirmative vote or the written consent, as provided by law, of the
holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, voting as a class, change the preferences, rights or
limitations with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock in any material
respect prejudicial to the holders thereof, or increase the authorized number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; but nothing herein contained shall
require such a class vote or consent (a) in connection with any increase or
decrease in the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock, (b) in
connection with the authorization, designation, increase or issuance of any
class or series of stock ranking on a party with the Series A Preferred Stock,
(c) in connection with the creation of additional series of Preferred Stock,
having such powers and relative, participating, optional or other special
rights as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the
issue of such series of Preferred Stock as may be adopted thereof, in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, or (d) in connection with
the issuance of any presently authorized but unissued shares of Preferred
Stock.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Ramtron International Corporation has caused this
Certificate to be executed by its President and by its Secretary, this 12th
day of November, 1992.

            Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law
                         of the State of Delaware

RAMTRON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), a
Delaware corporation, does hereby certify:

THAT, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation, and pursuant to
the provisions of Section 151 of the Delaware Corporation Law, said Board of
Directors, at a meeting held on December 1, 1993, duly adopted the following
resolutions; providing for the issuance of a series of 3,600,000 shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and a series of 3,600,000 shares of
Series C Convertible Performance Right Preferred Stock:

I.  Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

     RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted and vested in
the Board of Directors of this Corporation in the Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, a series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation be
and it hereby is authorized, and, as so authorized, is designated "Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock" (hereinafter called the "Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock"), said series to consist of 3,600,000 shares, of $0.01 par
value per share, of which the preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, shall be as follows:

    (a)  Dividends on Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  The holders of
outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to
receive any dividends.

    (b)  Redemption.  Except as provided in Section (c)(2) hereof, the Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be subject to redemption at any time.

    (c)  Preference on Liquidation.

        (1)  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (any such instance hereinafter
called a "Liquidation"):

            (i)  Subject to the rights of any class or series of stock of the
Corporation hereafter issued and ranking senior to the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, the holders of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, prior to and in
preference of any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the
<PAGE>
Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock (hereinafter called "Common
Stock") and Class A Nonvoting Common Stock (hereinafter called "Class A
Nonvoting Common Stock") of the Corporation or of any other shares of the
Corporation hereafter issued that upon liquidation are junior to the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock (such Common Stock, Class A Nonvoting Common Stock
and such other shares being hereinafter collectively called "Junior Shares")

the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (hereinafter called the "Liquidation
Preference").  Upon receipt of such amount, holders of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock will not share in any additional proceeds, whether of cash or
other property, that may result from such Liquidation.  If, upon Liquidation
of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution
to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay to the holders of the Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock the full amounts to which they otherwise would
be entitled, the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and any
stock ranking on a parity thereto with respect to liquidation, dissolution or
winding up shall share ratably in any distribution of assets according to the
respective amounts which would have been payable in respect to the shares of
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and such parity stock held by them
upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said
shares were paid in full.

            (ii)  All of the preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock under this Section (c)(1) shall be paid
or set apart for payment prior to payment or setting apart for payment of any
amount for, or the distribution of any amounts to, the holders of any Junior
Shares in connection with any Liquidation.  After setting apart or paying in
full the preferential amounts due the holders of the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to stockholders, if any, shall be distributed to the holders of
Junior Shares pursuant to the respective priorities of such shares.

        (2)  Without first obtaining the approval by vote or written consent
in the manner provided by law of the holders of at least a majority of the
total number of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then
outstanding, voting separately as a class, the Corporation shall not sell or
otherwise transfer for value all or substantially all of its assets or merge
or consolidate with another entity if such merger or consolidation would
result in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Corporation for
securities or consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the surviving
corporation, its subsidiary or parent (except for a merger or consolidation
after the consummation of which the stockholders of the Corporation own in
excess of fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the surviving
corporation or its parent corporation), unless immediately prior to such sale,
transfer for value, merger or consolidation each outstanding share of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemed out of funds legally
available therefor for an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference.

            (i)  At least thirty (30), but not more than sixty (60), days
prior to the date fixed for the redemption of shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section (c)(2), a written notice shall
be mailed in a postage prepaid envelope to each holder of record of shares of
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed, addressed to such holder
at such holder's post office address as shown on the records of the
Corporation, notifying such holder of the redemption of such shares, stating
the date fixed for redemption thereof (the "Redemption Date"), and calling
upon such holder to surrender to the Corporation, on the Redemption Date at
the place designated in such notice, such holder's certificate or certificates
<PAGE>
representing the number of shares specified in such notice of redemption.  On
or after the Redemption Date, such holder of shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall present and surrender such holder's
certificate or certificates for such shares to the Corporation at the place
designated in such notice and thereupon the redemption price of such shares
shall be paid to the order of the person whose name appears on such
certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered
certificate shall be canceled.

            (ii)  At its election, the Corporation, prior to the Redemption
Date, may deposit the redemption price of the shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock so called for redemption in trust for the holders thereof with
a bank or trust company in any city in which the Corporation at the time shall
maintain a transfer agency with respect to such shares, in which case the
aforesaid notice of holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
to be redeemed shall (a) state the date of such deposit, (b) specify the
office of such bank or trust company as the place of payment of the redemption
price and (c) call upon such holders to surrender the certificates
representing such shares at such place on or after the date fixed in such
redemption notice (which shall not be later than the Redemption Date) against
payment of the redemption price.  Any interest accrued on such funds shall be
paid to the Corporation from time to time.  Any monies so deposited which
shall remain unclaimed by the holders of such shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock at the end of two years after the Redemption Date shall be
returned by such bank or trust company to the Corporation.

            (iii)  If a notice of redemption has been give pursuant to Section
(c)(2) and any holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall,
prior to the close of business on the second business day preceding the
Redemption Date, give written notice to the Corporation pursuant to Section
(e)(2) below of the conversion of any or all of the shares to be redeemed held
by such holder (accompanied by a certificate or certificates for such shares,
duly endorsed or assigned to the Corporation, and any necessary transfer tax
payment, as required by Section (g) below), then such redemption shall not
become effective as to such shares to be converted, such conversion shall
become effective as provided in Section (e) below, and any monies set aside by
the Corporation for the redemption of such shares of converted Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock shall revert to the general funds of the
Corporation.

    (d)  Voting.  Except as otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, each outstanding share of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock shall have one vote on all matters which are the
subject of a vote of the holders of Common Stock, whether at any annual or
special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or by written consent,
voting as a class together with the Common Stock.

    (e)  Conversion Rights.

        (1)  Each share of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date
of issuance of such share and before December 15, 1995, into one "Unit,"
comprised of one share of Common Stock and one share of Series C Convertible
Performance Right Preferred Stock ("Performance Right Preferred Stock").  Such
optional conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date when
delivery of the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be
converted is made pursuant to Section (e)(2) hereof and such date is
<PAGE>
hereinafter called the "Optional Conversion Date".  If not previously
converted, each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall
automatically be converted into one Unit on the earlier to occur of
December 15, 1995, or the date on which a registration statement filed by the
Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission becomes effective with
respect to the Common Stock and Performance Right Preferred Stock issuable
upon conversion of the then outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
Such automatic conversion date is hereinafter called the "Conversion Date."

        (2)  The holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may
exercise the conversion rights thereof until the Conversion Date as to all or
any part thereof by delivering to the Corporation during regular business
hours, at the office of any transfer agent of the Corporation for the Series B
Convertible Preferred stock, at the principal office of the Corporation, or at
such other place as may be designated by the Corporation, the certificate or
certificates representing the shares to be converted, duly endorsed for
transfer to the Corporation, accompanied by written notice stating that the
holder elects to convert such shares.  As promptly as practicable after the
conversion of any shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver to, or upon the written order of such
holder, at such office or other place designated by the Corporation, a
certificate or certificates registered in the name of the holder for the
number of full shares of Common Stock and Performance Right Preferred Stock to
which such holder is entitled and a check made payable to such holder with
respect to any fractional interest in share of Common Stock or Performance
Right Preferred Stock as provided in Section (f) below.  The holder shall be
deemed to have become a stockholder of record on the Optional Conversion Date
or the Conversion Date, as applicable, unless the transfer books of the
Corporation are closed on that date, in which event the holder shall be deemed
to have become a stockholder of record on the next succeeding date on which
the transfer books are open, but the "Closing Price," as defined below, shall
be that in effect on the applicable Optional Conversion Date or Conversion
Date.  Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares of the Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered for
conversion, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the holder of the
certificate so surrendered for conversion, at the expense of the Corporation,
a new certificate representing the unconverted portion of the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock certificate so surrendered and a certificate or
certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock and Performance Right
Preferred Stock to which such holder is entitled.

    (f)  No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock,
Performance Right Preferred Stock or scrip shall be issued upon conversion of
shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  Instead of any fractional
shares of Common Stock or Performance Right Preferred Stock which would
otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any of the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of
such fractional interest, the fair value of which shall be determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, which determination shall
be conclusive and binding.

    (g)  Taxes.  The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes
that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common
Stock and Performance Right Preferred Stock on conversion of the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant hereto.  The Corporation shall not,
however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a
name other than in which the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock so
converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless
and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the
amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the
Corporation, that such tax has been or promptly will be paid.
<PAGE>
    (h)  Shares Reserved.  The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock and Performance
Right Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Common
Stock and Performance Right Preferred Stock deliverable upon the conversion of
all Series B Convertible Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding.  The
Corporation shall from time to time (subject to obtaining necessary director
and stockholder approval), in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware, increase the authorized amounts of its Common Stock and Performance
Right Preferred Stock if at any time the authorized number of shares of its
Common Stock and Performance Right Preferred Stock remaining unissued shall
not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.

    (i)  Status of Shares.  All shares of Common Stock and Performance Right
Preferred Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock will upon issuance by the Corporation be validly
issued, fully-paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

    (j)  Adjustment of the Number of Shares to be Received upon Conversion of
Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

        (1)  In case the Corporation shall at any time split or subdivide the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on its
outstanding Common Stock, or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares into
which the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible
immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted such that the holder of each
share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon
conversion to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder
would have been entitled to receive after the happening of any such event
described above, had such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock been
converted immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date
with respect thereto.  An adjustment made pursuant hereto shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such event, retroactive to
the record date, if any, for such event.

        (2)  If the Corporation shall issue rights, options or warrants, or
convertible or exchangeable securities containing or providing for the right
to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, to all holders of its
outstanding Common Stock, without payment of additional consideration by such
holders, entitling them, at any time prior to the Conversion Date, to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is
less than the market price per share of Common Stock as of the record date for
such transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then
outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible
shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares into which the Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible immediately prior to such
transaction by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights,
options or warrants, or such convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the
number of additional shares of Common Stock represented by such convertible
securities so offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the
denominator shall be (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on
the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, or such convertible
or exchangeable securities, plus the number of shares which the aggregate
exercise price of the total number of shares represented by such convertible
securities so offered would purchase at the market price per share of Common
Stock at such record date.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever such
rights, options or warrants, or such convertible or exchangeable securities,
are issued, and shall become effective immediately on the date of issuance
retroactive to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such rights, options or warrants, or such convertible or
exchangeable securities.
<PAGE>
        (3)  For the purpose of adjustments required by Section (j)(2), the
shares of Common Stock that the holder of any rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities shall be entitled to subscribe for or
purchase shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the date of sale,
issuance or distribution of such securities and the consideration, if any,
received by the Corporation therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration
actually received by the Corporation for such securities, plus the
consideration or premiums stated in such securities to be paid for the shares
of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise and conversion.

        (4)  For the purpose of any computation under Section (j)(2), the
market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be determined as of
the record date based upon the average of the last closing sale price as
reported by any national securities exchange or a consolidation transaction
reporting system on which such shares are listed for the forty (40) trading
days immediately preceding such date.  If the Common Stock is not listed on a
national exchange or consolidated transaction reporting system, the market
price per share of Common Stock at any date shall mean the average of the
closing bid and ask prices as reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or a successor or similar
organization, for the forty (40)-day trading period immediately preceding such
date.  If the Common Stock is not listed on a national exchange or
consolidated transaction reporting system or reported on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or a
successor or similar organization, the market price per share of Common Stock
at any date shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Corporation, which determination shall be conclusive.

        (5)  No adjustment in the number of shares into which the Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%)
in the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock are convertible; provided, however, that any adjustments which
by reason of this Section (j)(5) are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations
shall be made to the nearest cent and to the nearest one-hundredth of a share,
as the case may be.

        (6)  Irrespective of any adjustments in the number of shares into
which the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible, the
certificates representing the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock theretofore
and thereafter may continue to express the same number of shares as are
initially stated in the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

        (7)  If the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a
different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or
combination of shares, stock dividend or reorganization, merger, consolidation
or sale of assets expressly provided for in Section (c)(2) hereof), then, and
in any such event, each holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall
have the right to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and
other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization,
reclassification or other change, which such holder would have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any such event described above, had such
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock been converted immediately
prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change or any record date
with respect thereto.  An adjustment made pursuant hereto shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such event, retroactive to
the record date, if any, for such event.
<PAGE>
    (k)  Changes Affecting the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  So long
as any shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the
Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval by vote or written
consent in the manner provided by law of the holders of at least a majority of
the total number of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then
outstanding, voting separately as class, change the preferences, rights or
limitations with respect to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in any
material respect prejudicial to the holders thereof, increase the authorized
number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, increase or decrease
the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or
authorize, designate or increase or decrease the number of authorized shares
of any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with or
senior to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation; but nothing
contained herein shall require such a class vote or consent (i) in connection
with any increase or decrease in the total number of authorized shares of the
Common Stock or Performance Right Preferred Stock, (ii) in connection with the
authorization, designation, increase or decrease of any class or series of
Junior Shares; or (iii) in connection with the issuance of any presently
authorized but unissued shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

    (l)  Status of Converted Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  No share
or shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation
by reason of purchase, conversion, redemption or otherwise shall be re-issued
and such shares shall be canceled and retired and, upon compliance with
applicable law, returned to the status of authorized but unissued and
undesignated shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation.  All certificates
representing any of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for
conversion shall be appropriately canceled on the books of the Corporation.

    (m)  Authorized Number of Shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
The authorized number of shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be 3,600,000.

II.  Series C Performance Right Preferred Stock.

     RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted and vested in
the Board of Directors of this Corporation in the Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, a series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation be
and it hereby is authorized, and, as so authorized, is designated "Series C
Convertible Performance Right Preferred Stock" (hereinafter called the
"Performance Right Preferred Stock"), said series to consist of 3,600,000
shares, of $0.01 par value per share, of which the preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, shall be as follows:

    (a)  Dividends on Performance Right Preferred Stock.  The holders of
outstanding Performance Right Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive
any dividends.

    (b)  Redemption.  The Performance Right Preferred Stock shall not be
subject to redemption at any time.

    (c)  Preference on Liquidation.

        (1)  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (any such instance hereinafter
called a "Liquidation"):
<PAGE>
            (i)  The holders of shares of the Performance Right Preferred
Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, prior to and in
preference of any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the
Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock and Class A Nonvoting Common
Stock of the Corporation by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per
share of Performance Right Preferred Stock (hereinafter called the
"Liquidation Preference") equal to the greater of: (y) one cent ($0.01) per
share of Performance Right Preferred Stock (the "Monetary Preference"), or (z)
one-half (50%) of the amount available for distribution per share of Common
Stock (without regard to the Monetary Preference).  Upon receipt of such
amount, holders of Performance Right Preferred Stock will not share in any
additional proceeds, whether of cash or other property, that may result from
such Liquidation.  If, upon Liquidation of the Corporation, the assets of the
Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be
insufficient to pay to the holders of the Performance Right Preferred Stock
the full Liquidation Preference, the holders of the Performance Right
Preferred Stock and any stock ranking on a parity thereto with respect to
liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall share ratably in any distribution
of assets according to the respective amounts which would have been payable in
respect to the shares of the Performance Right Preferred Stock held by them
upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to said
shares were paid in full.

            (ii)  All of the preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of
Performance Right Preferred Stock under this Section (c) shall be paid or set
apart for payment prior to payment or setting apart for payment of any amount
for, or the distribution of any amounts to, the holders of Common Stock or
Class A Nonvoting Common Stock in connection with any Liquidation.  After
setting apart or paying in full the preferential amounts due the holders of
the Performance Right Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to stockholders, if any, shall be distributed to
the holders of Common Stock and Class A Nonvoting Common Stock.

        (2)  If the Corporation (i) sells or otherwise transfers for value all
or substantially all of its assets and properties (a "Disposition
Reorganization") or (ii) merges or consolidates with another entity if such
merger or consolidation would result in the exchange of the outstanding shares
of the Corporation for securities or consideration issued, or caused to be
issued, by the surviving corporation, its subsidiary or parent, excepting a
merger or consolidation after the consummation of which the stockholders of
the Corporation own in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities
of the surviving corporation or its parent corporation (a "Merger
Reorganization") (a Disposition Reorganization or a Merger Reorganization
being hereinafter called a "Reorganization Event"), the Performance Right
Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically as provided in Section (e)(1)
hereof.

    (d)  Voting.  Except as otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, the holders of Performance Right Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to any vote in respect to such Performance Right
Preferred Stock, whether at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of
the Corporation, or by written consent.

    (e)  Conversion Rights.
<PAGE>
        (1)  Each share of the Performance Right Preferred Stock shall
automatically convert, on the earlier to occur (i) of December 15, 1995
(hereinafter called the "Anniversary Date") or (ii) the date of the
Reorganization Event (hereinafter called the "Reorganization Date") (the
earlier to occur of the Anniversary Date or the Reorganization Date
hereinafter called the "Conversion Date"), into a fraction of a share, or one
or more full shares, of Common Stock determined by multiplication of each
share of Performance Right Preferred Stock by the "Conversion Formula" (as
hereinafter defined) based upon the average of the "Closing Prices" (as
hereinafter defined) of such Common Stock for the forty (40) trading days
immediately preceding the Conversion Date.  The "Closing Price" shall mean the
last closing sale price as reported on a national securities exchange or by a
consolidation transaction reporting system, or in the instance of publicly
traded securities not listed on a national exchange or consolidated
transaction reporting system, the Closing Price shall mean the average of the
closing bid and ask prices as reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or a successor or similar
organization.  In the instance of securities not listed on a national exchange
or consolidated transaction reporting system or reported on the national
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or a
successor or similar organization, the "Closing Price" shall mean the closing
price as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
and a representative of the holders of a majority of the Performance Right
Preferred Stock, which determination shall be conclusive and binding.  The
"Conversion Formula" upon which each share of the Performance Right Preferred
Stock will convert into Common Stock is the result calculated by dividing
sixty (60) (hereinafter the "Conversion Price") by the average of the Closing
Prices of the Common Stock for the forty (40) trading days immediately
preceding the Conversion Date, and then subtracting 4.5, provided, however,
that in no event shall the number of shares into which each share of the
Performance Right Preferred Stock shall be converted exceed three (3) shares
of Common Stock or be less than one-half (1/2) share of Common Stock
(hereinafter called the "Limits"), subject to adjustment as provided in
Section (j).

        (2)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section (e)(1), the Performance
Right Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into one-half (1/2) share of
Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section (j), in the event
that the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for any forty (40)
consecutive trading days prior to the Anniversary Date equals or exceeds
$15.00 (the last such consecutive trading day hereinafter called the "Price
Conversion Date").

        (3)  The conversion rights set forth in Sections (e)(1) and (e)(2) are
mandatory and automatic and shall apply to all Performance Right Preferred
Stock then outstanding.  Upon such automatic conversion, the holders of such
Performance Right Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or
certificates representing the shares converted, duly endorsed for transfer to
the Corporation, to the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other
place as may be designed by the Corporation.  As promptly as practicable
thereafter, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, at such
office or other place designated by the Corporation, a certificate or
certificates registered in the name of the holder for the number of full
shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and a check made
payable to such holder with respect to any fractional interest in a share of
Common Stock as provided in Section (f) hereof.  The holder shall be deemed to
have become a stockholder of record on the Conversion Date or the Price
Conversion Date, as applicable, unless the transfer books of the Corporation
are closed on that date, in which event the holder shall be deemed to have
become a stockholder of record on the next succeeding date on which the
transfer books are open.
<PAGE>
    (f)  No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip
shall be issued upon conversion of shares of the Performance Right Preferred
Stock.  Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise
be issuable upon conversion of any of the Performance Right Preferred Stock,
the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional
interest based on the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock for the
forty (40) days immediately preceding the Conversion Date or the Price
Conversion Date, as applicable.

    (g)  Taxes.  The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other taxes
that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common
Stock and Performance Right Preferred Stock on conversion of the Performance
Right Preferred Stock pursuant hereto.  The Corporation shall not, however, be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other
than that in which the shares of Performance Right Preferred Stock so
converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless
and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Corporation the
amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the
Corporation, that such tax has been or promptly will be paid.

    (h)  Shares Reserved.  The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of the Performance Right Preferred Stock,
the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of
all Performance Right Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding.  The
Corporation shall from time to time (subject to obtaining necessary director
and stockholder authorization), in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware, increase the authorized amounts of its Common Stock if at any time
the authorized number of shares of its Common Stock remaining unissued shall
not be sufficient to permit the conversion of all of the shares of Performance
Right Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.

    (i)  Status of Shares.  All shares of Common Stock which may be issued
upon conversion of the Performance Right Preferred Stock will upon issuance by
the Corporation be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

    (j)  Adjustment of the Number of Shares to be Received upon Conversion of
Shares of Performance Right Preferred Stock.

        (1)  In case the Corporation shall at any time split or subdivide the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or shall issue a stock dividend on its
outstanding Common Stock, or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted such that the holder of each share of Performance Right Preferred
Stock shall be entitled upon conversion to receive the number of shares of
Common Stock which such holder would have been entitled to receive after the
happening of any such event described above, had such shares of Performance
Right Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to the happening of
such event or any record date with respect thereto, and the Limits shall be
proportionately adjusted.  An adjustment made pursuant hereto shall become
effective immediately after the effective date of such event, retroactive to
the record date, if any, for such event.
<PAGE>
        (2)  If the Corporation shall issue rights, options or warrants, or
convertible or exchangeable securities containing or providing for the right
to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, to all holders of its
outstanding Common Stock, without payment of additional consideration by such
holders, entitling them, at any time prior to the Conversion Date or the Price
Conversion Date, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share that is less than the market price per share of Common Stock
as of the record date for such transaction, the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted so that the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then
outstanding shares of Performance Right Preferred Stock is convertible shall
equal a number determined by multiplying the number of shares into which such
shares of the Performance Right Preferred Stock was convertible immediately
prior to such transaction by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights, options or warrants, or such convertible or exchangeable
securities, plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock represented
by such convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase, and of
which the denominator shall be (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants, or
convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the number of shares which the
aggregate exercise price of the total number of shares represented by such
convertible securities so offered would purchase at the market price per share
of Common Stock at such record date.  In connection with any adjustment, the
Limits shall also be proportionately adjusted.  Such adjustments shall be made
whenever such rights, options or warrants, or convertible or exchangeable
securities, are issued, and shall become effective immediately on the date of
issuance retroactive to the record date for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants, or convertible or
exchangeable securities.

        (3)  For the purpose of adjustments required by Section (j)(2), the
shares of Common Stock that the holder of any rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities shall be entitled to subscribe for or
purchase shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the date of sale,
issuance or distribution of such securities and the consideration, if any,
received by the Corporation therefor shall be deemed to be the consideration
actually received by the Corporation for such securities, plus the
consideration or premiums stated in such securities to be paid for the shares
of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise and conversion.

        (4)  For the purpose of any computation under Section (j)(2), the
market price per share of Common Stock at any date shall be determined as of
the record date based upon the average of the Closing Prices for the
immediately preceding forty (40) trading days.

        (5)  No adjustment in the Conversion Price, the Limits or in the
number of shares into which the Performance Right Preferred Stock are
convertible shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase
or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the Conversion Price and in the
number of shares into which the Performance Right Preferred Stock are
convertible; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reasons of this
Section (j)(5) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations shall be made to
the nearest cent and to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may
be.

        (6)  Irrespective of any adjustments in the number of shares into
which the Performance Right Preferred Stock are convertible, the certificates
representing the Performance Right Preferred Stock theretofore and thereafter
may continue to express the same number of shares as are initially stated in
the Performance Right Preferred Stock.
<PAGE>
        (7)  If the shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a
different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by
recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or
combination of shares, stock dividend or reorganization, merger, consolidation
or sale of assets expressly provided for in Section (c)(2) hereof), then, and
in any such event, each holder of Performance Right Preferred Stock shall have
the right to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization,
reclassification or other change, which such holder would have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any such event described above, had such
shares of Performance Right Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior
to such recapitalization, reclassification or change or any record date with
respect thereto.  An adjustment made pursuant hereto shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event, retroactive to the record
date, if any, for such event.

    (k)  Changes Affecting the Performance Right Preferred Stock.  So long as
any shares of the Performance Right Preferred Stock are outstanding, the
Corporation shall not, without first obtaining the approval by vote or written
consent in the manner provided by law of the holders of at least a majority of
the total number of shares of the Performance Right Preferred Stock then
outstanding, voting separately as class, change the preferences, rights or
limitations with respect to the Performance Right Preferred Stock in any
material respect prejudicial to the holders thereof, or increase the
authorized number of shares of Performance Right Preferred Stock; but nothing
contained herein shall require such a class vote or consent (i) in connection
with any increase or decrease in the total number of authorized shares of the
Common Stock, (ii) in connection with the authorization, designation, increase
or decrease of any class or series of shares of the Corporation other than an
increase in the authorized number of shares of Performance Right Preferred
Stock; or (iii) in connection with the issuance of any presently authorized
but unissued shares of Performance Right Preferred Stock.

    (l)  Status of Converted Performance Right Preferred Stock.  No share or
shares of Performance Right Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by
reason of purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be re-issued and such shares
shall be canceled and retired and, upon compliance with applicable law,
returned to the status of authorized but unissued and undesignated shares of
Preferred Stock of the Corporation.  All certificates representing any of the
Performance Right Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be
appropriately canceled on the books of the Corporation.

    (m)  Authorized Number of Shares of Performance Right Preferred Stock.
The authorized number of shares of the Performance Right Preferred Stock shall
be 3,600,000.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Ramtron International Corporation has caused this
Certificate of Designations, Preferences, Rights, and Limitations of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Performance Right
Preferred Stock to be duly executed by the undersigned this 9th day of the
December, 1993.
