                       ANCHOR GLASS CONTAINER CORPORATION
                            (a Delaware Corporation)

                           CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF
                         THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

                  Anchor Glass Container Corporation (the "Corporation"), a
corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware ("DGCL"), does hereby certify:

                           A.   This Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate
of Designation was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 242
of the DGCL.

                           B.   The Certificate of Designations of the
Corporation's Series C Participating Preferred Stock is hereby amended to read
in its entirety as follows:

                  "RESOLVED, that the Corporation is authorized to issue 75,000
                  shares of Series C Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par
                  value per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock") which shall
                  have the following powers, designations, preferences and other
                  special rights:

         1.       Ranking. Except as hereafter provided with respect to
Participating Dividends (as defined in Section 2(b) of this Certificate of
Designations), the Series C Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to dividend
distributions and distributions upon a Liquidation Event (as defined in Section
3(a) herein), senior to all classes of common stock of the Corporation
(including the Common Stock, $.10 par value per share, of the Corporation) and
senior to or on parity with any other class of capital stock or series of
preferred stock established after the Series C Issuance Date by the Board. All
classes of Common Stock of the Corporation and any other class of capital stock
or series of preferred stock established after the Series C Issuance Date to
which the Series C Preferred Stock is senior, are collectively referred to
herein as "Junior Securities".

         2.       Dividend Provisions.

                  (a)      The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive dividends, in cash, out of any assets of the
Corporation legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any
declaration or payment of any dividend on any Junior Securities, at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) of the Series C Liquidation Preference Payment (as defined
in Section 3 of this Certificate of Designations) per annum (the "Fixed
Dividends"). The Fixed Dividends shall be cumulative, shall compound quarterly
and shall accrue daily from the date that any shares of Series C Preferred Stock
are first issued (the "Series C Issuance Date") until paid.

                  (b)      To the extent any dividends are to be paid to holders
of Common Stock of the Corporation (or funds are set aside for such payment)
(the "Junior Dividends"), the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive additional dividends out of any

<PAGE>

assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, payable at the option of
the Corporation in cash or shares of Common Stock have a Fair Market Value (as
defined in Section 4(a) of this Certificate of Designations), on a pari passu
basis with the declaration or payment of the Junior Dividends, equal to fifteen
percent (15%) of the total amount of Junior Dividends (the "Participating
Dividends"), to be paid pro rata among the holders of Series C Preferred Stock
in proportion to the number of shares of such stock owned by each such holder.
Junior Dividends shall be paid subject to the prior payment of all Fixed
Dividends (including any accrued but unpaid dividends from the date of issuance
through the date of such payment) and contemporaneous payment of all
Participating Dividends to each of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock.

         3.       Liquidation Preference.

                  (a)      In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation (a "Liquidation Event"), whether voluntary or
involuntary, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive, prior and in preference to any payment or distribution of any of the
assets of the Corporation to the holders of any Junior Securities, by reason of
their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) $1,000 per
share (the "Series C Issuance Price") and (ii) an amount equal to all accrued
and/or declared but unpaid dividends on such share, computed to the date payment
thereof is made (together with the Series C Issuance Price, the "Series C
Liquidating Preference Payment"). If upon the occurrence of any Liquidation
Event, the assets and funds to be distributed among the holders of Series C
Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of
the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then the entire assets and funds of the
Corporation available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata among the
holders of Series C Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of
such stock owned by each such holder.

                  (b)      After payment of the amounts set forth by Section
3(a) (and any amounts required to be paid to any shares or series of preferred
stock which, with respect to rights on a liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
rank pari passu with or junior to the Series C Preferred Stock), the holders of
Series C Preferred Stock shall receive fifteen percent (15%) of the remaining
assets of the Corporation, pro rata among the holders of Series C Preferred
Stock in proportion to the number of shares of such stock owned by each such
holder bears to the total number of shares of such stock then outstanding, and
the holders of Common Stock shall receive eighty-five percent (85%) of the
remaining assets of the Corporation, pro rata among the holders of Common Stock
in proportion to the number of shares of such stock owned by each such holder.

                  (c) For purposes of this Certificate of Designations, (i) any
merger, reorganization or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any
other corporation or entity (including a stock for stock exchange or stock for
cash exchange), or (ii) a sale, conveyance, transfer, license, lease, abandon or
other disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation, in one or more related transactions shall be deemed a Liquidation
Event of the Corporation; provided, however, that a Liquidation Event shall not
be deemed to have occurred if, (x) for the purposes of clause (c)(ii) above, the
holders of capital stock of the Corporation immediately prior thereto shall,
immediately thereafter, hold as a group the right to cast at least a majority of
votes of all holders of voting securities of the resulting or surviving

                                       2

<PAGE>

corporation or entity on any matter on which any such holder of voting
securities shall be entitled to vote, (y) the merger or consolidation involves
only a change in the state of incorporation of the Corporation, or (z) the
merger of the Corporation is with or into a wholly-owned Subsidiary (as
hereinafter defined) of the Corporation. In the event of a Liquidation Event
that does not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, the amount due the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock
pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Certificate of Designation shall, at the option
of the Corporation, be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock having a Fair
Market Value equal to the amount so due.

         4.       Redemption.

                  (a)      The Redemption Price shall mean an amount per share,
equal to the sum of (i) the Series C Liquidating Preference Payment and (ii) an
amount equal to (A) fifteen percent (15%) of the Fair Market Value (as defined
below) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock divided by
(B) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
"Fair Market Value" of the Common Stock shall mean the fair market valuation of
all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock performed by an
investment bank with a globally recognized standing (it being understood that
such investment bank shall be either Merrill Lynch & Co. or Credit Suisse First
Boston (including any successor by merger or operation of law of such investment
banks)) (the "Appraiser"), mutually agreeable to the Corporation and the holders
of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and
such fair market valuation to be determined by the Appraiser on a going concern
basis, as between a willing buyer and a willing seller, taking into account all
relevant factors determinative of value (without any discount of such value for
minority interest, illiquidity, or other factors relevant to such share), using
valuation techniques then prevailing in the securities industry and assuming
full disclosure of all relevant information and a reasonable period of time for
effectuating such sale. The Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as determined
by the Appraiser shall be final and binding. The fees and expenses of the
Appraiser shall be paid by the Corporation.

                  (b)      Optional Redemption. At any time and from time to
time after the Series C Issuance Date, the Corporation shall have the right to
redeem all, and no less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred Stock on such date (the "Optional Redemption Date") at the Redemption
Price upon written notice as provided in Section 4(c). In connection with any
optional redemption pursuant to this Section 4(b), the portion of the Redemption
Price referred to in Section 4(a)(ii) may be paid, at the option of the
Corporation either in cash or by the issuance to the holder of Series C
Preferred Stock of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable
to the holder of Series C Preferred Stock hereunder shall be equal to (i) the
amount calculated pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii)(A) of this Certificate of
Designations for all Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder divided by
(ii) the quotient of (A) the Fair Market Value of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock divided by (B) the number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock.

                  (c)      Mechanics of Redemption. At least 30 but not more
than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date written notice (the "Redemption
Notice") shall be given by the Corporation by mail, postage prepaid, or by
facsimile or email transmission, to each holder of record (at the

                                       3

<PAGE>

close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the
Redemption Notice is given) of shares of Series C Preferred Stock notifying such
holder of the redemption and specifying the Redemption Price, the Redemption
Date, the place where said Redemption Price shall be payable and (if applicable)
whether any portion of the Redemption Price will be paid in shares of Common
Stock pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Certificate of Designations. The
Redemption Notice shall be addressed to each holder at his address as shown by
the records of the Corporation. From and after the close of business on the
Redemption Date, unless there shall have been a default in the payment of the
Redemption Price, all rights of holders of such shares of Series C Preferred
Stock subject to redemption (except the right to receive the Redemption Price)
shall cease with respect to such shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be
transferred on the books of the Corporation or be deemed to be outstanding for
any purpose whatsoever. Any shares of Series C Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant
to this Section 4 or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner
whatsoever shall be canceled and shall not under any circumstances be reissued;
and the Corporation may from time to time take such appropriate corporate action
as may be necessary to reduce accordingly the number of authorized shares of
Series C Preferred Stock. If the Corporation fails for any reason to redeem the
total number of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock on such
Redemption Date (a "Non-Redemption Event"), the shares of Series C Preferred
Stock not redeemed, shall remain outstanding and shall be entitled to all rights
and preferences provided herein.

                  (d)      Non-Redemption Event. Immediately upon the occurrence
of a Non-Redemption Event, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be
increased by four (or such higher number so that the sum of such additional
directors (collectively, the "Series C Directors") shall constitute a majority
of the Board), and the holders of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to elect such Series C Directors until redemption of all
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock is effected. Upon the occurrence
of a Non-Redemption Event, the Board shall immediately call a special meeting of
all holders of Series C Preferred Stock for the purpose of electing the Series C
Directors and the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right
to vote, as a single class, to elect by a majority vote of the then outstanding
Series C Preferred Stock, the Series C Directors although less than a quorum.
Upon redemption of all outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, the term of office
of each Series C Director elected by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock
pursuant to such special voting right shall forthwith terminate and the number
of directors constituting the entire Board shall be reduced by the number of the
Series C Directors. So long as the Non-Redemption Event shall continue, any
vacancy in the office of a Series C Director may be filled by written consent of
the Series C Directors remaining in office or, if none remains in office, by
vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred Stock. As long as the Non-Redemption Event shall continue, holders of
any of the outstanding capital stock (other than the Series C Preferred Stock)
of the Corporation entitled to vote on the election of directors shall not be
entitled to vote on the election or removal of the Series C Directors. So long
as the Series C Directors constitute a majority of the Board of Directors, the
portion of the Redemption Price referred to in Section 4(a)(ii) of this
Certificate of Designations shall be payable solely in shares of Common Stock.

defined) (the date of such occurrence being the "Offer Date"), the Corporation
shall commence (or cause to be commenced) an offer to purchase for cash all
outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms described
in Section 5(c) of this Certificate of Designations (the "Offer") at a purchase

shares of Common Stock with the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
issuable to each holder of Series C Preferred Stock hereunder being equal to (i)
the amount calculated pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii)(A) of this Certificate of
Designations for all Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder divided by
(ii) the quotient of (A) the Fair Market Value of all the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock divided by (B) the number of issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock.

                  (b)      Prior to the mailing of the notice referred to in
Section 5(c) of this Certificate of Designations and promptly following the
calculation of the applicable Redemption Price, but in any event within 45 days
following the date on which a Change of Control or Cash Transaction has
occurred, the Corporation shall (i) promptly determine if the purchase of the
Series C Preferred Stock would violate or constitute a default under the
indebtedness of the Corporation or the terms of any other series of the
Corporation's outstanding preferred stock and (ii) either shall repay to the
extent necessary all such indebtedness or preferred stock of the Corporation
that would prohibit the repurchase of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to a

Stock. If applicable, such notice shall contain all instructions and materials
necessary to enable such holders to tender Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to
the Offer. Such notice shall state:

making payment therefor, any share of Series C Preferred Stock accepted for
payment pursuant to the Offer shall cease to accrue dividends after the Payment
Date;

                           (v)      that holders electing to have any share of
Series C Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to the Offer will be required to
surrender stock certificates representing such shares of Series C Preferred
Stock, properly endorsed for transfer, together with such other customary
documents as the Corporation may reasonably request at the address specified in
the notice prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the
Payment Date;

                           (vi)     that holders will be entitled to withdraw

the name of the holder, the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock the
holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such holder is withdrawing
its election to have such shares of Series C Preferred Stock purchased;

                           (vii)    that holders who tender only a portion of
the shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by a certificate delivered
will, upon purchase of the shares tendered, be issued a new certificate
representing the unpurchased shares of Series C Preferred Stock; and

                           (viii)   the circumstances and relevant facts
regarding such Change of Control or Cash Transaction (including information with
respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization after
giving effect to such Change of Control).

                  (d)      The Corporation will comply with any tender offer
rules under the Exchange Act which then may be applicable in connection with any
offer made by the Corporation to repurchase the shares of Series C Preferred
Stock as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of
any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Certificate
of Designations, the Corporation shall comply with the applicable securities
laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligation
under this Certificate of Designations by virtue thereof.

for payment the shares of Series C Preferred Stock validly tendered pursuant to
the Offer, (ii) pay to the holders of shares so accepted the purchase price
therefor in cash and (iii) cancel each surrendered certificate and retire the
shares represented thereby. Unless the Corporation defaults in the payment for

capital stock (other than the Series C Preferred Stock) of the Corporation
entitled to vote on the election of directors shall not be entitled to vote on
the election or removal of the Series C Directors. The rights set forth herein
shall be the exclusive remedy of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock in

holders of a majority of Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation will not, by
amendment of the Certificate of Designations or through any reorganization,
recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder

                                       12

by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying
out of all the provisions of this Certificate of Designations and in the taking
of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the
conversion rights of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock against impairment.

         9.       Severability of Provisions. Whenever possible, each provision
of this Certificate of Designations shall be interpreted in a manner as to be
effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof is held to
be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining provisions hereof.
If a court of competent jurisdiction should determine that a provision hereof
would be valid or enforceable if a period of time were extended or shortened or
a particular percentage were increased or decreased, then such court may make
such change as shall be necessary to render the provision in question effective
and valid under applicable law.

         10.      Amendment, Waiver or Discharge. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, neither this Certificate of Designations nor any term hereof
may be amended, waived, modified, discharged or terminated without the written
consent or affirmation vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no provision of this Certificate of Designations that applies
to any person or entity specifically designated by name shall be amended,
waived, discharged or terminated without the written consent of such named
person or entity."
