          We, the undersigned, Leonard Hadley and E. James Bennett, the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, respectively, of Maytag Corporation,

a Delaware Corporation (the "Corporation"), DO HEREBY CERTIFY:

     FIRST:    that pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of
Directors of the Corporation by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution creating a series of
one million (1,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
the Corporation designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,
which resolution was set forth in a Certificate of Designations of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the "Certificate") filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;

     SECOND:   that pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, that the following resolutions to amend the Certificate
were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation at a meeting duly
called and held on February 12, 1998:

     "RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the
Board of Directors for the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors hereby resolves to
increase the number of shares constituting the series of Preferred Stock of the
Corporation designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par
value $1.00 per share (the "Junior Preferred Stock"), as set forth in the
Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Designations comprising Exhibit A

     RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Board of Directors of the Corporation hereby

          shares of Series A 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 A Preferred Stock."
