         Sellers to the applicable escrow agent. The Sellers shall not be
         permitted to direct the Cure Escrow Agent to make any cure payment.

         notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) Purchaser shall be

         FSA Settlement Notice and which complies with this Section 2.9 and
         Purchaser shall deliver fully executed originals of each such document
         to Sellers.

                  "(d) A notice (each, an "FSA Settlement Notice") that
         Purchaser has agreed to make payments to, or cause payments to be made
         to, an FSA Customer relating to any Cure Costs associated with any

         Settlement") shall state: (i) the identity of the FSA Customer; (ii)
         the identity of all Acquired Contracts to which such FSA Customer is a
         party; (iii) the identity of the Acquired Contracts that are the
         subject of the FSA Settlement; (iv) the amount, if any, of any FSA
         Accounts Receivable involved in such FSA Settlement, including, without
         limitation the FSA Accounts Receivable Compromised Amount and the FSA
         Accounts Receivable Uncompromised Amount; (v) the Cure Amount to be
         released from the Cure Escrow; and (vi) the effective date of the
         settlement of the Cure Amounts and FSA Accounts Receivable, if any,
         associated with such Acquired Contract (which date shall be no earlier
         than the second Business Day following the joint Purchaser and Sellers
         notification to the Cure Escrow Agent to release from the Cure Escrow
         any cash amounts to be paid pursuant to such FSA Settlement Notice)
         (the "FSA Settlement Date").

                  "(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, after the
         Initial Closing Date, Sellers shall be permitted to compromise or
         settle any and all FSA Accounts Receivable, subject to the following
         limitations: (i) Sellers shall provide Purchaser with at least two (2)
         Business Days written notice of the intent to consummate a settlement
         involving a compromise of an FSA Accounts Receivable which notice shall
         provide Purchaser with the specific terms of such settlement; (ii)
         Sellers shall not, as part of such settlement, accept as payment in
         full of the outstanding amount of any FSA Accounts Receivable an amount
         that is less than 90% of such outstanding amount (if the proposed date
         of consummation

                                       2
<PAGE>

         of the settlement of such amount is within 30 days following the
         Initial Closing Date), 80% of such amount (if the proposed date of
         consummation of the settlement of such amount is from and including the
         31st day to the 60th day following the Initial Closing Date), or 70% of
         such outstanding amount (if the proposed date of consummation of the
         settlement of such amount is from and including the 61st day to the
         90th day following the Initial Closing Date); and (iii) on a weekly
         basis, each party shall provide the other party with a status summary
         of its collection efforts with regard to FSA Accounts Receivable,
         including without limitation, the identity of each FSA Customer, the
         outstanding amount of its FSA Accounts Receivable, and a brief
         description of the efforts made, if any, to collect such FSA Accounts
         Receivable.

                  "(h) Notwithstanding herein to the contrary, if the FSA
         Accounts Receivable Compromised Limit is reached, the provisions of
         Section 2.9(f) and 2.9(g) shall expire and shall, without the action of
         any Party, be deleted from this Agreement." To the extent that the FSA
         Accounts Receivable Compromised Limit is exceeded as a result of
         settlements by Purchaser, Purchaser Assignees and Third Party
         Purchasers with FSA Customers, Purchaser agrees that the amount of such
         excess shall be paid promptly to Sellers from the escrow account set up
         under the Cure Escrow Agreement or, if no such funds are in such escrow
         account, then such excess shall be paid by Purchaser. Sellers and
         Purchaser shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the
         Cure Escrow Agent in order to effect the provisions contained in the
         immediately preceding sentence.

         2. Section 3.1(c)(ii) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it
in its entirety and replacing it with the following text:

                  "(ii) Seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000) (the "Fixed
         Component of Purchase Price") minus (i) the Deposit, minus (ii) the
         Cure Escrow Amount, which shall be paid directly to the Cure Escrow
         Agent, and the remainder of which shall be paid by Purchaser at the
         Initial Closing and subject to the adjustment provisions set forth in
         Sections 2.7(c), 3.4, 3.7 and 12.8, in immediately available funds to
         an account designated in writing by Sellers at least two Business Days
         prior to the Initial Closing."

         3. Section 12.15 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in
its entirety and replacing it with the following text:

                  "12.15 Orders. At the hearing of the Bankruptcy Court on
         August 14, 2003 (or such later date to which such hearing may be
         continued, so long as such later date occurs on or prior to August 19,
         2003), Sellers and Purchaser shall seek approval of a satisfactory Sale
         Order and a satisfactory assignment and assumption order from the
         Bankruptcy Court. Sellers and Purchaser mutually agree that the terms
         of such Sale Order and such assignment and assumption order are
         satisfactory to each party, and accordingly the provisions set forth in
         Exhibit F attached to the First FAPA Amendment shall be added to the
         Agreement."

         4. Section 2.5(g) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in
its entirety and replacing it with the following text:

                  "To the extent Purchaser exercises its Option Rights on or
         prior to the later of the close of business on the date of the Sale
         Hearing or seven days prior to the Initial Closing, to exclude any
         portion of the Acquired Assets pursuant to Section 2.5 above,
         notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser
         shall not be liable or responsible for, and shall not be required to
         reimburse Sellers and their Affiliates for, any Liabilities of Sellers
         and their Affiliates relating to such Acquired Assets. To the extent
         Purchaser exercises its Option Rights after the later of the close of
         business on the date of the Sale Hearing or seven days prior to the
         Initial Closing to exclude any portion of the Acquired Assets pursuant
         to this Section 2.5 above, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
         to the contrary, Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers for all liabilities
         incurred in the ordinary course of operations under the related
         Acquired Contracts on or after the Initial Closing, until such time as
         Sellers, in the exercise of their commercially reasonable efforts, can
         terminate or otherwise reject such Acquired Contracts, so long as
         Sellers file, duly serve and are diligently prosecuting a motion in the
         Bankruptcy Court seeking authorization, as necessary, to reject such
         specified Acquired Contracts; provided, however, that in no event shall
         Purchaser have Liabilities for or reimburse Sellers or any third party
         for any Liabilities incurred before or after the Initial Closing for
         any amount directly or indirectly related to, arising out of or
         resulting from the rejection of, or failure to assume by the end of the
         Option Period, any Acquired Contract; provided, further, that
         notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall reimburse Sellers for
         any Liability, if any, incurred, and related to periods, after the
         Initial Closing under any such Acquired Contract to the extent, and
         only to the extent, that such Liability (i) is not caused by Sellers'
         breach of their obligations under the Transition Services Agreement and
         (ii) is deemed by a Final Order to be an administrative expense of the
         kind specified in Section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code."

         5. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it shall include in every
Option Notice regarding Acquired Contracts that is delivered to Sellers after
the Initial Closing, the following information: (i) such Acquired Contract's
contract number or lease number, as provided to Purchaser by Sellers, if
provided, or (ii) other reasonable details identifying such Acquired Contracts
such as, to the extent available, subject matter, parties and date. To the
extent the Purchaser is unable to identify in an Option Notice delivered after
the Initial Closing the Acquired Contracts in accordance with the preceding
sentence, Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other and work
together in good faith to identify all Acquired Contracts subject to such Option
Notice.

         6. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding
anything in the Agreement to the contrary, five million dollars ($5,000,000)
shall be withheld from the Fixed Component of the Purchase Price at the Initial
Closing and shall be paid to Sellers only at such time as any of the following,
(i) the Miami Perishables Facility lease covering the property located at 3555
NW 77th Ave. Miami, FL (Fleming internal file reference FL-742 CL) or such other
lease assignment relating to such facility mutually agreed to by Purchaser and
Sellers in

                                       4
<PAGE>

writing (the "Miami Lease"), is transferred and assigned to Purchaser,
Purchaser's Assignee or a Third Party Purchaser, (ii) such lease has been
rejected pursuant to an Option Notice delivered to Sellers in accordance with
the Agreement or (iii) if at any time the Sellers are ready, willing and able to
transfer the Miami Lease to Purchaser, Purchaser's Assignee or a Third Party
Purchaser, as the case may be, but the Bankruptcy Court had determined that
either Purchaser, Purchaser's Assignee or a Third Party Purchaser, as the case
may be, is unable to assume such Miami Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.
Within 2 business days following the Initial Closing, Seller and Purchaser will
jointly agree to either (i) place such five million dollars ($5,000,000) into an
escrow account pursuant to a mutually agreed upon escrow agreement or (ii)
provide that Fleming shall become a party to the escrow agreement entered into
between Purchaser and the Third Party Purchaser that is acquiring the Miami
Lease, dated as of August 22, 2003, so that Fleming shall have the right to
receive five million dollars ($5,000,000) upon the release of funds from such
escrow agreement, to the extent that such funds would otherwise be released to
Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers failure to deliver the Miami
Lease at the Initial Closing will not constitute a breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or closing condition (including under Section 8.11) contained
in the Agreement.

         7. The definition of the term "Indemnity Escrow Amount" set forth in
Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety

         indemnification obligation of Purchaser under Section 13.2(b)(i) will
         not exceed an amount equal to $16,500,000 (the "Indemnification Cap"),
         respectively."

         9. Section 13.5(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in

         Royalty Amounts deposited in the Indemnity Escrow, regardless of
         whether successful claims have been made against the Indemnity Escrow,
         thereby reducing the Indemnity Escrow below $16,500,000)."

         10. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the

         or a Third Party Purchaser is the party which is legally required to
         make payment of such tax bill, (i) and the Applicable Closing is the
         Initial Closing, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Seller's
         pro rata share of the "estimated amount" of the Periodic Taxes for such

         extent, and only to the extent, of such reduction Sellers shall be
         treated as having satisfied their reimbursement obligation hereunder,
         and (ii) if the Applicable Closing is a Subsequent Closing, Sellers

         the Estimated Amount, and to the extent, and only to the extent, of
         such payment Sellers shall be treated as having satisfied their
         reimbursement obligation hereunder. For purposes of the preceding
         sentence, the "estimated amount" shall be determined based upon the
         Periodic Taxes as shown on the most recent tax bill received with
         respect to the applicable property." Purchaser shall have no right of
         set-off against any of the Seller's Share of the Estimated Amount.

         13. Section 12.8 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following text at the end of the fifth sentence of Section 12.8:

                  "and if the other party is a Seller, such invoice amount shall

         to the applicable property which is the subject of the tax bill, and if
         such Seller's pro rata share of the amount of the Periodic Taxes shown
         on the actual tax bill is less than the Sellers' Share of the Estimated
         Amount, Purchaser shall promptly reimburse such Seller for the amount
         of any such excess, and if such Sellers' pro rata share of the amount
         of the Periodic Taxes shown on the actual tax bill is greater than the
         Sellers' Share of the Estimated Amount, such Seller shall promptly

         applicable Seller;"

         15. Schedule 1.1(a) (Operating PSCs) to the Agreement is amended by

Purchaser prior to seven days prior to the Initial Closing and shall be a valid
notice. The Option Notice given by Purchaser to Sellers on August 19, 2003 was
not provided seven days in advance of the Initial Closing pursuant to Section
2.5(g) of the Agreement and the parties will work together to identify Acquired
Contracts subject to such notice.

         18. Sellers acknowledge and agree to the following:

         (a)      that they shall take all actions to cause the Escrow Agent (as
                  defined in the Indemnity Escrow Agreement) (the "Indemnity
                  Escrow Agent") to pay to Purchaser, as soon as possible,
                  $1,500,000 as reimbursement for Indemnifiable Losses relating
                  to, resulting from or arising out of (i) the breach by Sellers
                  of their representations regarding environmental conditions at

                  joint written instructions attached hereto as Exhibit B, which
                  provides for the release of funds in the amount of $1,500,000
                  pursuant to the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. Upon receipt of
                  such $1,500,000, Purchaser (x) waives any rights to assert
                  reimbursement for Indemnifiable Losses under Article XIII of
                  the Agreement with respect to the matters referred to in
                  clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 18(a), and (y) waives
                  the closing condition in Section 8.11 with respect to the
                  Phoenix Property.

         19. Sellers acknowledge and agree that the notice delivered by
Purchaser to Sellers pursuant to Section 3.3(e) of the Agreement, dated August
22, 2003, shall be deemed for all purposes to have been delivered at least
fifteen days prior to the Initial Closing.

         20. Section 13.5(a)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
it in its entirety and replacing it with the following text:

                  "(i) One million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000)
         (the "Closing Indemnity Payment") from the Initial Estimate Payment
         which shall be paid at the Initial Closing."

         21. Both parties acknowledge and agree that the Initial Closing will be
deemed to have occurred on 11:59:59 p.m. on August 23, 2003, subject to
Purchaser's payment obligations under Section 3.1 of the Agreement.

         22. Sellers represent and warrant to Purchaser that the terms and
provisions of this letter have been given to and discussed with (i) the agents
under the DIP Credit Agreement, (ii) the agents under the Prepetition Credit
Agreement, and (iii) the unsecured creditors' committee.

         23. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that in the event that Purchaser,
a Purchaser Assignee or a Third Party Purchaser, as applicable, does not have at
the Initial Closing the necessary Permits to acquire from Sellers cigarettes and
other tobacco products comprising Inventory at an Operating PSC required to be
purchased by such Person (a "Tobacco Buyer") pursuant to the Agreement, Sellers
shall not be required to transfer title to such cigarettes and other tobacco
products at the Initial Closing. In lieu of transferring title to Tobacco Buyer,
Sellers shall execute a bill of sale (a "Conditional Bill of Sale") providing
for the transfer of title to such cigarettes and other tobacco products to
Tobacco Buyer only upon the delivery by Tobacco Buyer of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Sellers that it has obtained all necessary Permits to acquire
title to such cigarettes and other tobacco products. Tobacco Buyer shall also be
required to execute the Conditional Bill of Sale, and pursuant to the
Conditional Bill of Sale Tobacco Buyer shall thereby agree (i) not to sell or
transfer such cigarettes and other tobacco products, and to store such
cigarettes and other tobacco products in a secure place at the applicable
Operating PSC, until such time as Tobacco Buyer delivers evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Sellers that it has obtained all necessary Permits to acquire
title to such cigarettes and other tobacco products, and (ii) that risk of loss
to such cigarettes and other tobacco products

                                       8
<PAGE>

shall be deemed to pass to Tobacco Buyer at 11:59:59 p.m. on August 23, 2003.
Sellers shall hold the Conditional Bill of Sale in escrow on behalf of Tobacco
Buyer and shall deliver the Conditional Bill of Sale to Tobacco Buyer upon the
delivery by Tobacco Buyer to Sellers of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Sellers that it has obtained all necessary Permits to acquire title to such
cigarettes and other tobacco products.

         24. Section 12.8 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following text at the end of such Section 12.8:

                  "Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers
         and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
         employees, advisors, representatives and agents from and against all
         losses, liabilities, damages, costs and/or expenses (including
         reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) actually incurred by Sellers
         and their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
         employees, advisors, representatives and agents, including in
         connection with any actions, suits, demands, assessments, judgments and
         settlements, relating to, resulting from or arising out of any failure
         by Purchaser, a Purchaser Assignee or a Third Party Purchaser to pay to
         the appropriate Tax authority in accordance with applicable law any
         Periodic Taxes, to the extent that at the Initial Closing the amount
         required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(ii) is reduced by
         Sellers' Share of the Estimated Amount of such Periodic Taxes or to the
         extent of any Subsequent Closing Seller shall have remitted Sellers'
         Share of the Estimated Amount."

         25. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller's failure to deliver the
"Marquis" Trademark will not constitute a breach of a representation or warranty
or closing condition (including Section 8.11) of the Agreement.

         26. The parties agree that Purchaser shall move out of and vacate the
PSC's located at Northeast, Maryland, Geneva, Alabama and Salt Lake City, Utah
by August 31, 2003, and Phoenix, Arizona by September 30, 2003.

         27. The parties agree that Sellers shall pay the delinquent taxes
relating to the PSC at Lincoln, Nebraska and the GMD facility at Memphis,
Tennessee and to the extent that Sellers have been reimbursed for such payments
and other cure amounts as reflected on the closing statement being delivered as
of the Initial Closing (including by way of an increase in the amount paid by
Purchaser at the Initial Closing), Sellers may not assert a claim pursuant to
the Cure Escrow Agreement with respect to the Lincoln, Nebraska PSC, the GMD
facility of Memphis, Tennessee and such other cure amounts, and Sellers shall
obtain either (i) receipt of an acknowledgment from the landlord that payment of
the delinquent taxes plus penalties and interest sent directly by Fleming to the
taxing authority shall satisfy the landord's cure claim or (ii) entry of an
order from the Bankruptcy Court acknowledging satisfaction of the cure amount
relating to such facility.

                                    Preferred Stock or a combination of cash and

                                    Section 6, or if the Company fails to make a

                                    directors by such class. The two director
                                    candidates that receive the highest number
                                    of affirmative votes of the outstanding
                                    shares of the Series F Preferred Stock will
                                    be elected.

                           (v)      Any director elected pursuant to the voting
                                    rights set forth in this Section 5(c) shall
                                    hold office until the next annual meeting of
                                    stockholders (or his or her earlier death,
                                    resignation or removal), unless such term
                                    has previously automatically terminated
                                    pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii)) and any
                                    vacancy in respect of any such director
                                    shall be filled only by the Holders at a
                                    special meeting called in accordance with
                                    the procedures set forth in this Section
                                    5(c), or, if no such special meeting is
                                    called, at the next annual meeting of
                                    stockholders. The Holders shall be entitled
                                    to remove any director elected pursuant to
                                    this Section 5(c) without cause at any time
                                    and replace such director as provided in
                                    this Section 5(c).

         6.       DIVIDENDS.

                  (a)      Each Holder will be entitled to receive, when, as and
         if declared by the Board of Directors, out of assets of the Company
         legally available therefor, cumulative dividends on each share of the
         Series F Preferred Stock, which may be paid in cash or in additional
         shares of Series F Preferred Stock, at the Company's option, as
         follows:

                           (i)      if the Company elects to pay dividends in
                                    cash on a Dividend Payment Date, dividends
                                    will be paid at a rate per annum equal to
                                    6.0% of the Liquidation Preference,
                                    (equivalent to $10.714 per share annually or
                                    $5.35713 semi-annually), payable
                                    semi-annually in arrears (the "CASH DIVIDEND
                                    RATE"); or

                           (ii)     if the Company elects to pay dividends in
                                    additional shares of Series F Preferred
                                    Stock on a Dividend Payment Date, dividends
                                    will be paid at a rate per annum equal to
                                    7.0% of the Liquidation Preference
                                    (equivalent to $12.500 per share annually or
                                    $6.25 semi-annually), payable semi-annually
                                    in arrears (the "PIK DIVIDEND RATE").

                  The Dividend Rate may be increased in the circumstances
         described in Section 6(b) below. Dividends payable for each full
         dividend period will be computed by dividing the applicable Dividend
         Rate by two and shall be payable in arrears on each Dividend Payment
         Date for the semi-annual period ending immediately prior to such
         Dividend Payment Date or, in the case of the dividend payable on
         October 15, 2003, from the Issue Date (each such period, a "DIVIDEND
         PERIOD"), to the Holders of record of Series F Preferred Stock at the
         close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding such
         Dividend Payment Date. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the most
         recent date with respect to which dividends shall have been paid or, if
         no dividends have been paid, from the Issue Date (whether or not in any
         Dividend Period or Dividend Periods there shall be funds of the Company
         legally available for the payment of such dividends) and shall accrue
         on a day-to-day basis, whether or not earned or declared, from and
         after the Issue Date. Dividends payable on the Series F Preferred Stock
         with respect to any period other than a full Dividend Period shall be
         computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
         months. If a Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment of
         dividends shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

                  (b)      If (i) the Shelf Registration Statement has not been
         filed with the SEC on or prior to twenty (20) days after the Issue
         Date, (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared
         effective by the SEC on or prior to one hundred and twenty (120) days
         after the Issue Date or (iii) after the Shelf Registration Statement
         has been declared effective, (A) the Shelf Registration Statement
         thereafter ceases to be effective or (B) the Shelf Registration
         Statement

                                       10

         or the related prospectus ceases to be usable (in each case, subject to
         the exceptions described below) in connection with resale of Transfer
         Restricted Securities during the period that any Transfer Restricted
         Securities remain outstanding (each such event referred to in clauses
         (i), (ii) and (iii), a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), additional dividends
         shall accrue on the Series F Preferred Stock at the rate per annum of
         .50% of the Liquidation Preference (resulting in a Cash Dividend Rate
         per annum of 6.50% of the Liquidation Preference and a PIK Dividend
         Rate per annum of 7.50% of the Liquidation Preference during the
         continuance of a Registration Default), from and including the date on
         which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the
         date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. At all other
         times, dividends shall accumulate on the Series F Preferred Stock at
         the applicable Dividend Rate as described in Section 6(a).

                  A Registration Default referred to in clause (iii) of Section
         6(b) shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation
         to the Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if such
         Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of the filing of a
         post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement to
         incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the
         Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and
         needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related
         prospectus; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration
         Default referred to in clause (iii) of Section 6(b) occurs for a
         continuous period in excess of 30 days, additional dividends as
         described in Section 6(b) shall be payable in accordance therewith from
         the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration
         Default is cured.

                  (c)      No dividend will be declared or paid upon, or any sum
         set apart for the payment of dividends upon, any outstanding share of
         the Series F Preferred Stock with respect to any Dividend Period unless
         all dividends for all preceding Dividend Periods have been declared and
         paid or declared and a sufficient sum set apart for the payment of such
         dividend, upon all outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

                  (d)      In the event that the Board of Directors declares a
         dividend with respect to a Dividend Period in an amount less than the
         full amount payable to the Holders with respect to such Dividend Period
         pursuant to Section 6 (such lesser amount, a "PARTIAL DIVIDEND"), such
         Partial Dividend shall be distributed to the Holders on a pro rata
         basis with respect to the outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred
         Stock.

                  (e)      Any dividend on the Series F Preferred Stock shall
         be, at the option of the Company, payable in cash, in shares of Series
         F Preferred Stock or in a combination of cash and shares of Series F
         Preferred Stock. If the Company elects to pay any portion of a dividend
         in shares of Series F Preferred Stock:

                           (i)      The Company shall furnish written notice of
                                    such election by issuing a press release for
                                    publication on the PR Newswire or an
                                    equivalent newswire service, if required by
                                    and in accordance with the federal
                                    securities laws or the rules of any stock
                                    exchange or automated quotation system on
                                    which the Series F Preferred Stock or the
                                    Class A Common Stock is then listed or
                                    traded, and in any case by first class mail
                                    to each Holder or by publication (with
                                    subsequent prompt notice by first class mail
                                    to each Holder), at least ten days in
                                    advance of the Record Date for the relevant
                                    Dividend Payment Date.

                           (ii)     The number of shares of Series F Preferred
                                    Stock to be issued as a dividend on the
                                    applicable Dividend Payment Date per share
                                    of the Series F Preferred Stock will be that
                                    number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock
                                    that has an aggregate Liquidation Preference
                                    equal to the amount of such dividend.

                           (iii)    No fractional shares of Series F Preferred
                                    Stock shall be issued in payment of any
                                    dividend on the Series F Preferred Stock.
                                    The Transfer Agent is hereby authorized to
                                    aggregate any fractional shares of Series F
                                    Preferred Stock that would otherwise be
                                    distributable as a dividend, to sell them at
                                    the best available price and to distribute
                                    the proceeds to the Holders in proportion to
                                    their respective interests. The Company
                                    shall reimburse the Transfer Agent for any
                                    expenses incurred with respect to such sale,
                                    including brokerage commissions. If the sale
                                    by the Transfer Agent of such aggregated
                                    fractional shares of Series F Preferred
                                    Stock would be restricted, the Company shall
                                    agree with the Transfer Agent on other
                                    appropriate arrangements for the cash
                                    realization of such fractional shares of
                                    Series F Preferred Stock. If the Company is
                                    precluded from paying cash in lieu of
                                    fractional shares to the Holders on the
                                    Dividend Payment Date, the Company shall,
                                    when it becomes legally and contractually
                                    able to, pay to the Holders such cash in
                                    lieu of fractional shares.

                  (f)      The Company will not declare, pay or set apart any
         sum for the payment of any dividend or other distribution in respect of
         any Parity Stock or Junior Stock, and will not (and will not permit any
         of its Subsidiaries to) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for any
         consideration any Parity Stock or Junior Stock (or money paid to or
         made available for any sinking fund for the redemption of any Parity
         Stock or Junior Stock), unless the Board of Directors has declared and
         paid, or declared and set apart a sum sufficient for the payment of, a
         dividend in the full amount payable to the Holders pursuant to Section
         6 with

                                       12
<PAGE>

         respect to all previously ended Dividend Periods and the Dividend
         Period in which such payment of a dividend or other distribution in
         respect of, or redemption, purchase or acquisition of, any Parity Stock
         or Junior Stock would occur. Notwithstanding anything in this
         Certificate of Designation to the contrary, the Company may:

                           (i)      declare and pay dividends on Parity Stock
                                    which are payable solely in shares of Parity
                                    Stock or Junior Stock;

                           (ii)     declare and pay dividends on Junior Stock
                                    which are payable solely in shares of Junior
                                    Stock;

                           (iii)    declare and pay dividends on Parity Stock or
                                    Junior Stock by increasing the liquidation
                                    value of the Parity Stock or Junior Stock,
                                    as applicable;

                           (iv)     repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire
                                    Junior Stock in exchange for Junior Stock;
                                    or

                           (v)      repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire
                                    Parity Stock in exchange for Parity Stock or
                                    Junior Stock.

                  (g)      If the Board of Directors declares a dividend with
         respect to a Dividend Period, the Holders at the close of business on
         the applicable Record Date will be entitled to receive the dividend
         payment on shares of the Series F Preferred Stock on the corresponding
         Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof subsequent
         to such Record Date. However, if the dividend payable on such Dividend
         Payment Date is payable in cash, shares of the Series F Preferred Stock
         surrendered for conversion during the period between the close of
         business on the corresponding Record Date and the close of business on
         the Business Day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date must
         be accompanied by payment of an amount in cash equal to the cash
         dividend amount payable on that Dividend Payment Date on the shares of
         the Series F Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion. A Holder on a
         Record Date who (or whose transferee) tenders any shares for conversion
         on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date will receive any dividend
         payable by the Company on such tendered shares of the Series F
         Preferred Stock on that date, and the converting Holder need not
         include payment in the amount of such dividend upon surrender of shares
         of the Series F Preferred Stock for conversion.

                  (h)      Dividends on account of arrears for any past Dividend
         Period and dividends in connection with any optional redemption may be
         declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular
         Dividend Payment Date, to Holders of record on the Business Day
         immediately prior to the payment thereof, as may be fixed by the Board
         of Directors.

                  (i)      The difference between (x) the full dividend amount
         payable per share of the Series F Preferred Stock to the Holders with
         respect to any Dividend

                                       13
<PAGE>

         Period pursuant to Section 6 and (y) any lesser (or zero) actual
         dividend amount paid per share of the Series F Preferred Stock with
         respect to such Dividend Period, resulting from the failure of the
         Board of Directors to declare any dividend with respect to such
         Dividend Period, the declaration by the Board of Directors of a Partial
         Dividend with respect to such Dividend Period, or the failure of the
         Company to pay on the applicable Dividend Payment Date the dividend or
         Partial Dividend declared by the Board of Directors for such Dividend
         Period, is referred to as the "DIVIDEND DEFICIENCY." In the event that
         a Dividend Deficiency shall occur with respect to any Dividend Period,
         the amount of the Dividend Deficiency will accumulate and bear interest
         at a rate per annum equal to 7.0% of the Liquidation Preference,
         compounding semi-annually, until declared and paid in full.

                  (j)      The Company shall take all actions required or
         permitted under the General Corporation Act of the State of Oklahoma to
         permit the payment of dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock.

                  (k)      In the event that the Company consolidates with or
         merges into any other Person or conveys, transfers or leases all or
         substantially all its assets to any Person, or permits any Person to
         consolidate with or merges into, or transfer or lease all or
         substantially all its properties to, the Company, and the surviving
         company, successor, transferee or lessee is not organized under the
         laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, and the
         laws of the jurisdiction in which the successor, transferee or lessee
         is organized would impose a withholding tax on any dividend payment
         hereunder, the Company shall:

                           (i)      furnish written notice to the Holders, by
                                    issuing a press release for publication on
                                    the PR Newswire or an equivalent newswire
                                    service, if required by and in accordance
                                    with the federal securities laws or the
                                    rules of any stock exchange on which the
                                    Series F Preferred Stock or the Class A
                                    Common Stock is then listed or traded, and
                                    in any case by distribution of such notice
                                    to each Holder by first class mail or by
                                    publication (with subsequent prompt
                                    distribution of such notice by first class
                                    mail to each Holder) at least ten days in
                                    advance of the Record Date for the first
                                    Dividend Payment Date on which any dividend
                                    payable hereunder would be subject to such
                                    withholding tax, whether or not any dividend
                                    is paid on such Dividend Payment Date, which
                                    notice shall state that withholding taxes
                                    may be imposed with respect to dividends
                                    payable on the Series F Preferred Stock and
                                    that the Company will, as described in
                                    Section 6(i)(ii) below, increase the
                                    dividend amounts payable on the Series F
                                    Preferred Stock with respect to all Dividend
                                    Periods for which such withholding taxes
                                    apply;

                           (ii)     with respect to the dividend payable on each
                                    Dividend Payment Date for which any such
                                    withholding tax may be imposed, increase the
                                    dividend amount payable to the Holders such
                                    that the net dividend amount payable to the
                                    Holders on such Dividend Payment Date after
                                    giving effect to any such withholding tax
                                    shall be equivalent to the dividend that the
                                    Holders would have received on such Dividend
                                    Payment Date absent such withholding tax;
                                    and

                           (iii)    with respect to each dividend for which any
                                    such withholding tax may be imposed, deliver
                                    to the Transfer Agent promptly after the
                                    declaration of such dividend an Officers'
                                    Certificate describing in detail the
                                    dividend amount that would have been payable
                                    on the relevant Dividend Payment Date before
                                    the increase for withholding taxes pursuant
                                    to Section 6(i)(ii) and the amount by which
                                    such dividend amount was increased to
                                    produce a net dividend amount equal to the
                                    dividend amount that the Holders would have
                                    received on the relevant Dividend Payment
                                    Date absent such withholding tax.

         7.       CONVERSION.

                  (a)      Each Holder shall have the right, at its option,
         exercisable at any time and from time to time from the Issue Date, to
         convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 7, Section
         10, Section 11 and Section 12, any or all of such Holder's shares of
         the Series F Preferred Stock into such whole number of fully paid and
         nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock per share of the Series F
         Preferred Stock as is equal to the Conversion Ratio in effect on the
         date of conversion, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share of Class
         A Common Stock as provided in Section 8.

                  (b)      The conversion right of a Holder shall be exercised
         by the Holder by the delivery to the Company at any time during usual
         business hours at the Company's principal place of business or the
         offices of the Transfer Agent of a written notice to the Company in the
         form of EXHIBIT B that the Holder elects to convert the number of its
         shares of the Series F Preferred Stock specified in such notice. The
         conversion of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock not represented by
         physical certificates will be effected through the facilities of the
         Depositary as described in Section 16. If the shares of the Series F
         Preferred Stock that the Holder wishes to convert are represented by
         one or more physical certificates, the Holder shall be required to
         surrender such physical certificate or certificates to the Company or
         the Transfer Agent (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the
         Company shall so require). The shares of Class A Common Stock due to
         such Holder surrendering physical certificates shall be delivered to
         the Holder and each surrendered physical certificate shall be canceled
         and retired. Immediately prior to the close of business on the date of
         receipt by the Company or its duly

                                       15
<PAGE>

         appointed Transfer Agent of notice of conversion of shares of the
         Series F Preferred Stock, each converting Holder shall be deemed to be
         the holder of record of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion
         of such Holder's shares of the Series F Preferred Stock notwithstanding
         that the share register of the Company shall then be closed or that, if
         applicable, physical certificates representing such Class A Common
         Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such Holder. On the date
         of any conversion, all rights of any Holder with respect to the shares
         of the Series F Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if
         any, to receive distributions of the Company's assets (including, but
         not limited to, the Liquidation Preference) or notices from the
         Company, will terminate, except only for the rights of any such Holder
         to (i) receive physical certificates (if applicable) for the number of
         whole shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of the
         Series F Preferred Stock have been converted, and (ii) exercise the
         rights to which he, she or it is entitled as a holder of Class A Common
         Stock into which such shares of the Series F Preferred Stock have been
         converted.

         8.       NO FRACTIONAL SHARES UPON CONVERSION. No fractional shares or
securities representing fractional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be
issued upon the conversion of any shares of the Series F Preferred Stock. If
more than one share of the Series F Preferred Stock held by the same Holder
shall be subject to conversion at one time, the number of full shares of Class A
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of
the aggregate Liquidation Preference of all of such shares of the Series F
Preferred Stock as of the conversion date. If the conversion of any share or
shares of the Series F Preferred Stock results in a fraction of a share of Class
A Common Stock, such fraction will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole
number and paid as a full share of Class A Common Stock.

         9.       ADJUSTMENTS TO CONVERSION PRICE. Any adjustment to the
Conversion Price shall result in a change in the Conversion Ratio. The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

                  (a)      In case the Company shall at any time or from time to
         time:

                           (i)      pay a dividend (or other distribution)
                                    payable in shares of Class A Common Stock on
                                    any class of capital stock (which, for
                                    purposes of this Section 9 shall include,
                                    without limitation, any dividends or
                                    distributions in the form of options,
                                    warrants or other rights to acquire capital
                                    stock) of the Company;

                           (ii)     subdivide the outstanding shares of Class A
                                    Common Stock into a larger number of shares;

                           (iii)    combine the outstanding shares of Class A
                                    Common Stock into a smaller number of
                                    shares;

                                       16
<PAGE>

                           (iv)     issue any shares of its capital stock in a
                                    stock split on or reclassification of the
                                    Class A Common Stock; or

                           (v)      pay a dividend or make a distribution to all
                                    holders of shares of Class A Common Stock
                                    (other than a dividend subject to Section
                                    9(b)(i)) pursuant to a stockholder rights
                                    plan, "poison pill" or similar arrangement,

         then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately
         prior to such event shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate
         actions shall be taken by the Company) so that the Holder of shares of
         the Series F Preferred Stock thereafter surrendered for conversion
         shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Class A Common
         Stock that such Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to
         receive upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had
         such share of the Series F Preferred Stock been converted into shares
         of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such
         event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 9(a) shall become
         effective retroactively (x) in the case of any such dividend or
         distribution, to the day immediately following the close of business on
         the record date for the determination of holders of such Class A Common
         Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or (y) in the
         case of any such subdivision, combination, stock split or
         reclassification, to the close of business on the day upon which such
         corporate action becomes effective.

                  (b)      In case the Company shall at any time or from time to
         time (i) issue, to all holders of Class A Common Stock, shares of Class
         A Common Stock or rights, options or warrants entitling the holders
         thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, or
         securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A
         Common Stock at a price per share less than the Market Value for the
         period ending on the date of issuance or (ii) issue to any Person
         shares of Class A Common Stock or rights, options or warrants entitling
         such Person to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock
         or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A
         Common Stock (I) at a price per share less than 95% of the Market
         Value, if such Person is not an Affiliate of the Company, or (II) at a
         price per share less than the Market Value, if such Person is an
         Affiliate of the Company, in each case, for the period ending on the
         date of issuance (treating, in each case under clauses (i), (ii)(I) and
         (ii)(II), the price per share of any security convertible into, or
         exchangeable or exercisable for, Class A Common Stock as equal to (x)
         the sum of the price paid to acquire such security convertible into, or
         exchangeable or exercisable for, Class A Common Stock plus any
         additional consideration payable (without regard to any anti-dilution
         adjustments) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such security
         into Class A Common Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of Class
         A Common Stock into which such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable
         security is initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable), other
         than (A) issuances of such shares or such rights, options or warrants
         if the Holder would be entitled to receive such shares or such rights,
         options or warrants upon

                                       17
<PAGE>

         conversion at any time of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock into
         Class A Common Stock, (B) issuances that are subject to certain
         triggering events (until such time as such triggering events occur) and
         (C) in the case of clause (ii) above, issuances pursuant to any option
         grant or any exercise thereof under any employee benefit plan or stock
         option plan of the Company that is in existence as of the Issue Date or
         that are approved by the Board of Directors at any time subsequent
         thereto, then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price then in
         effect shall be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price in effect on
         the day immediately prior to the record date of such issuance by a
         fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of
         shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the
         number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock issued or to be
         issued in such issuance or upon or as a result of the issuance of such
         rights, options or warrants (or the maximum number into or for which
         such convertible or exchangeable securities initially may convert or
         exchange or for which such options, warrants or other rights initially
         may be exercised) and (y) the denominator of which shall be the sum of
         the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on such record
         date plus the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which the
         aggregate consideration for the total number of such additional shares
         of Class A Common Stock so issued (or into or for which such
         convertible or exchangeable securities may convert or exchange or for
         which such options, warrants or other rights may be exercised plus the
         aggregate amount of any additional consideration initially payable upon
         the conversion, exchange or exercise of such security) would purchase
         at 95% of the Market Value or the Market Value, as the case may be, for
         the period ending on the date of conversion; provided, however, that if
         the Company distributes rights, options or warrants (other than those
         referred to above in this Section 9(b)) pro rata to the holders of
         Class A Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall not be subject to
         adjustment on account of any declaration, distribution or exercise of
         such rights, options or warrants so long as (x) such rights, options or
         warrants have not expired or been redeemed by the Company, and (y) the
         Holder of any shares of the Series F Preferred Stock surrendered for
         conversion shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in
         addition to the shares of Class A Common Stock then issuable upon such
         conversion (the "CONVERSION SHARES"), a number of rights, options or
         warrants to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion occurs on
         or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of rights,
         options or warrants of separate certificates evidencing such rights or
         warrants (the "DISTRIBUTION DATE"), the same number of rights, options
         or warrants to which a holder of a number of shares of Class A Common
         Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at the time
         of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions
         applicable to the rights or warrants and (ii) if such conversion occurs
         after the Distribution Date, the same number of rights, options or
         warrants to which a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common
         Stock into which such shares of the Series F Preferred Stock was
         convertible immediately prior to such Distribution Date would have been
         entitled on such Distribution Date had such shares of the Series F
         Preferred Stock been

                                       18
<PAGE>

         converted immediately prior to such Distribution Date in accordance
         with the terms and provisions applicable to the rights and warrants.

                  (c)      In case the Company shall at any time or from time to
         time:

                           (i)      make a pro rata distribution to all holders
                                    of shares of Class A Common Stock consisting
                                    of cash (excluding any cash portion of
                                    distributions referred to in Section 9(a)(v)
                                    above, or cash distributed upon a merger or
                                    consolidation to which Section 9(i) below
                                    applies);

                           (ii)     complete a tender or exchange offer by the
                                    Company or any of its Subsidiaries for
                                    shares of Class A Common Stock that involves
                                    an aggregate consideration per share in
                                    excess of the Market Value per share for the
                                    period ending on the expiration date of such
                                    tender or exchange offer; or

                           (iii)    make a distribution to all holders of Class
                                    A Common Stock consisting of evidences of
                                    indebtedness, shares of its capital stock
                                    (other than one or more classes of common
                                    stock of the Company) or assets or property
                                    (including securities, but excluding those
                                    dividends, rights, options, warrants and
                                    distributions referred to in Sections 9(a)
                                    or 9(b) above or this Section 9(c)),

         then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price then in effect shall
         be adjusted by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately
         prior to the date of such distribution or completion of such tender or
         exchange offer, as the case may be, by a fraction (x) the numerator of
         which shall be the Market Value for the period ending on the record
         date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
         distribution, or, if such adjustment is made upon the completion of a
         tender or exchange offer, on the payment date for such offer, and (y)
         the denominator of which shall be such Market Value less the then fair
         market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company)
         of the portion of the cash, evidences of indebtedness, securities or
         other assets so distributed or paid in such tender or exchange offer,
         applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock (but such denominator
         shall not be less than one); provided, however, that no adjustment
         shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights to purchase
         securities of the Company if the Holder would otherwise be entitled to
         receive such rights upon conversion at any time of shares of the Series
         F Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock unless such
         rights are subsequently redeemed by the Company, in which case such
         redemption shall be treated for purposes of this Section 9(b) as a
         dividend on the Class A Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made
         whenever any such distribution is made or tender or exchange offer is
         completed, as the case may be, and shall become effective retroactively
         to a date immediately following the close of business on the record
         date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
         distribution.

                  (d)      The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate
         of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
         consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any
         other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
         any term of this Certificate of Designation, but will at all times in
         good faith assist in carrying out of all such terms and in taking of
         all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
         the rights of the Holders against dilution or other impairment. In case
         the Company at any time or from time to time shall take any action
         affecting one or more classes of common stock of the Company (it being
         understood that the issuance or sale of shares of one or more classes
         of common stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or
         exchangeable for shares of one or more classes of common stock of the
         Company, or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of
         one or more classes of common stock of the Company) to any Person at a
         price per share less than the Conversion Price then in effect shall not
         be deemed such an action), other than an action described in any of
         Sections 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) or 9(i), then the Conversion Price shall be
         adjusted in such manner and at such time as the Board of Directors of
         the Company in good faith determines to be equitable in the
         circumstances (such determination to be evidenced in a resolution, a
         certified copy of which shall be mailed to the Transfer Agent and the
         Holders along with the Officers' Certificate described in Section
         9(h)).

                  (e)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
         adjustment under this Section 9 need be made to the Conversion Price
         unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
         least 1% of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any lesser adjustment
         shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together
         with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any
         adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an
         increase or decrease of at least 1% of such Conversion Price.

                  (f)      The Company reserves the right to make such
         reductions in the Conversion Price in addition to those required in the
         foregoing provisions as it considers advisable in order that any event
         treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock
         rights will not be taxable to the recipients. In the event the Company
         elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company
         will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act,
         and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder if and to the
         extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with
         the reduction of the Conversion Price.

                  (g)      If the Company shall take a record of the holders of
         Class A Common Stock of the Company for the purpose of entitling them
         to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter (and
         before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to
         stockholders) legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend
         or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in the Conversion Price
         then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such
         record.

                  (h)      Upon any increase or decrease in the Conversion Price
         pursuant to this Section 9, the Company shall (i) promptly deliver to
         the Transfer Agent an Officers' Certificate describing in reasonable
         detail the event requiring the increase or decrease in the Conversion
         Price and the method of calculation thereof and specifying the
         increased or decreased Conversion Price and Conversion Ratio in effect
         following such adjustment, and attaching and certifying the resolution
         of the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 9(d) (if applicable) and
         (ii) furnish, within ten days after the increase or decrease in the
         Conversion Price, written notice of the increase or decrease in the
         Conversion Price by issuing a press release for publication on the PR
         Newswire or an equivalent newswire service, if required by and in
         accordance with the federal securities laws or the rules of NASDAQ or
         any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Series F
         Preferred Stock or the Class A Common Stock is then listed or traded,
         and in any case by first class mail to each Holder or by publication
         (with subsequent prompt notice by first class mail to each Holder).

                  (i)      Subject to the provisions of Section 12 and Section
         13, in the event of any reclassification of outstanding shares of Class
         A Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to
         no par value, or from no par value to par value), or in the event of
         any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person
         or any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a
         consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting or
         surviving Person and which does not result in any reclassification or
         change of outstanding Class A Common Stock), or in the event of any
         sale or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all
         of the assets of the Company (computed on a consolidated basis) (any of
         the foregoing, a "TRANSACTION"), each share of the Series F Preferred
         Stock then outstanding shall, without the consent of any Holder, become
         convertible at any time, at the option of the Holder thereof, only into
         the kind and amount of securities (of the Company or another issuer),
         cash and other property receivable upon such Transaction by a holder of
         the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such share of
         the Series F Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately
         prior to such Transaction, after giving effect to any adjustment event.
         The provisions of this Section 9(i) and any equivalent thereof in any
         such securities similarly shall apply to successive Transactions.
         Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Section
         9(i) shall be the sole right of the Holders in connection with any
         Transaction and such Holders shall have no separate vote thereon.

                  (j)      For purposes of this Section 9, the number of shares
         of Class A Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include
         shares held in treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any
         dividend or make any distribution on Class A Common Stock held in
         treasury of the Company.

                                    to be payable on and after the Optional

         Preferred Stock not represented by physical certificates will be
         effected through the facilities of

         physical certificates representing shares of the Series F Preferred
         Stock shall surrender such physical certificate or certificates to the

         transfer, if the Company shall so require and the Optional Redemption
         Notice shall so state), in the manner and at the place or places
         designated in the Optional Redemption Notice, and the full Optional
         Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable in cash on the
         Optional Redemption Date to the Holder, and each surrendered physical
         certificate shall be canceled and retired.

                  (a)      On but not before August 18, 2016 (the "MANDATORY
         REDEMPTION DATE"), the Company shall be required to redeem, subject to
         the legal availability of funds therefor, all outstanding shares of the
         Series F Preferred Stock at a price per share in cash equal to the
         Liquidation Preference thereof plus all accumulated and unpaid
         dividends thereon through the Mandatory Redemption Date (the "MANDATORY
         REDEMPTION PRICE"). The Company shall take all actions required or
         permitted under the laws of the State of Oklahoma to permit such
         mandatory redemption.

                  (b)      Upon mandatory redemption pursuant to this Section
         11, the Company shall pay to the Holders, and the Holders shall be
         entitled to receive, an amount per share of Series F Preferred Stock
         equal to the Mandatory Redemption Price.

                  (c)      Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
         Mandatory Redemption Price, the right of the Holders pursuant to
         Section 7 to convert shares of the Series F Preferred Stock into Class
         A Common Stock shall terminate at the close of business on the Business

         necessary to permit the expiration of any applicable waiting period
         under the HSR Act), dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock will

         Preferred Stock or the Class A Common Stock is then listed or traded,
         and in any case by first class mail to each Holder or by publication
         (with subsequent prompt notice by first class mail to each Holder),

                                    Preferred Stock will be redeemed for cash in
                                    an amount equal to the Mandatory Redemption
                                    Price;

                           (iv)     that dividends on the Series F Preferred

                                    to be payable on and after the Mandatory
                                    Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults

                           (v)      that the right of the Holders to voluntarily
                                    convert shares of the Series F Preferred
                                    Stock into Class A Common Stock will
                                    terminate at the close of business on the
                                    Business Day preceding the Mandatory
                                    Redemption Date (subject to any extension
                                    necessary to permit the expiration of any
                                    applicable waiting period under the HSR

                                    payment in cash of the Mandatory Redemption
                                    Price;

                           (vi)     the Conversion Ratio then in effect; and

                           (vii)    that if any shares of the Series F Preferred

                                    one or more physical certificates, such
                                    Holder must surrender to the Company or the
                                    Transfer Agent, in the manner and at the
                                    place or places designated, such physical
                                    certificate or certificates representing the
                                    shares of the Series F Preferred Stock to be
                                    redeemed.

         Preferred Stock not represented by physical certificates will be
         effected through the facilities of the Depositary as described in
         Section 16. Each Holder of one or more physical certificates
         representing shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall surrender
         such physical certificate or certificates to the Company or the
         Transfer Agent (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the
         Company shall so require and the Mandatory Redemption Notice shall so
         state), in the manner and at the place or places designated in the
         Mandatory Redemption Notice, and the full

                                       25
<PAGE>

         Mandatory Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable in cash on
         the Mandatory Redemption Date to the Holder, and each surrendered
         physical certificate shall be canceled and retired.

                  (f)      The Company shall comply with any federal and state
         securities laws and regulations, to the extent such laws and
         regulations are applicable, in connection with the mandatory
         redemption.

         12.      CHANGE OF CONTROL.

                  (a)      Within 30 days following the occurrence of a Change
         of Control, the Company shall be required (subject to the legal
         availability of funds therefor) to commence, by mailing a notice
         satisfying the requirements of Section 12(b), an offer to purchase (the
         "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") to each Holder of Series F Preferred Stock
         to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's Series F Preferred Stock
         at a cash purchase price equal to 101% of the Liquidation Preference
         thereof, plus an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid
         dividends (including an amount in cash equal to a prorated dividend for
         the period from the Dividend Payment Date immediately prior to the date
         of purchase to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of
         Series F Preferred Stock on a record date to receive dividends on a
         Dividend Payment Date) (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT").
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to
         make a Change of Control Offer or to repurchase any Series F Preferred
         Stock tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase prior to its repurchase
         of all of its tendered 10.875% Senior Notes due 2010 in connection with
         such Change of Control; provided that if the Company does not make a
         Change of Control Offer or does not repurchase any Series F Preferred
         Stock pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, then the Holders of Series
         F Preferred Stock shall have the voting rights provided for in Section
         5(c).

                  (b)      Within 30 days following the occurrence of a Change
         of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to the Transfer Agent and
         each Holder of Series F Preferred Stock stating: (i) the background and
         terms of the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of
         Control, (ii) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant
         to this Certificate of Designation and that, to the extent lawful, all
         shares of Series F Preferred Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn
         will be accepted for payment on a pro rata basis, (iii) the amount of
         the Change of Control Payment and the date on which the Change of
         Control Payment will be made (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT DATE"),
         which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 40
         days from the date such notice is mailed, (iv) that any shares of
         Series F Preferred Stock not tendered will continue to accrue dividends
         in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation and
         that the Holders of such shares will continue to have the right to
         convert such shares into Class A Common Stock, (v) that, unless the
         Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, the
         right of the Holders pursuant to Section 7 to convert shares of the
         Series F Preferred Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of
         Control Offer into Class A

                                       26
<PAGE>

         Common Stock shall terminate at the close of business on the Business
         Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date (subject to any
         extension necessary to permit the expiration of any applicable waiting
         period under the HSR Act), all such Series F Preferred Stock shall
         cease to accrue dividends on and after the Change of Control Payment
         Date and all rights of the Holders of such Series F Preferred Stock
         shall terminate on and after the Change of Control Date, (vi) that
         Holders electing to have shares of Series F Preferred Stock purchased
         pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender
         the shares of Series F Preferred Stock to the Transfer Agent at the
         address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the
         Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Payment Date,
         (vii) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the
         Transfer Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the
         third Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Payment
         Date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the
         name of such Holder, the Liquidation Preference of shares of Series F
         Preferred Stock delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder
         is withdrawing its election to have such shares of Series F Preferred
         Stock purchased, and (viii) that Holders whose shares of Series F
         Preferred Stock are being purchased only in part will be issued new
         shares of Series F Preferred Stock equal in Liquidation Preference to
         the unpurchased portion of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock
         surrendered.

                  (c)      On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company
         shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment on a pro rata basis
         shares of Preferred Stock or portions thereof properly tendered
         pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and not withdrawn, (2) deposit with
         the Transfer Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in
         respect of all shares of Series F Preferred Stock or portions thereof
         so tendered, and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Transfer
         Agent the Series F Preferred Stock so accepted together with an
         Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate Liquidation Preference of
         the Series F Preferred Stock or portions thereof being purchased by the
         Company. The Company will direct the Transfer Agent to promptly mail to
         each Holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock so accepted payment
         in an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment for such shares,
         and the Transfer Agent will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to
         be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a certificate representing
         the Series F Preferred Stock equal in Liquidation Preference to any
         unpurchased portion of the Series F Preferred Stock surrendered, if
         any. Unless the Company defaults in the payment for the shares of
         Series F Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase,
         the right of the Holders pursuant to Section 7 to convert shares of the
         Series F Preferred Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of
         Control Offer into Class A Common Stock shall terminate at the close of
         business on the Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment
         Date (subject to any extension necessary to permit the expiration of
         any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act), dividends shall cease
         to accrue with respect to such shares of Series F Preferred Stock and
         all rights of Holders of such shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall
         terminate, except for the right to receive payment therefor, on the
         Change of Control Payment Date. The Company shall publicly announce the

                                       27
<PAGE>

         results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable
         after the Change of Control Payment Date.

                  (d)      The Company shall comply with Rule 14e-1 under the
         Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the
         extent such laws and regulations are applicable to the repurchase of
         shares of the Series F Preferred Stock in connection with a Change of
         Control. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws
         or securities regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section
         12, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
         regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations
         under this Section 12, by virtue thereof. In addition, the Company
         shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change
         of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
         manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements
         set forth in this Section 12 and purchases all Series F Preferred Stock
         validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

                                    become shares of such successor, transferee
                                    or lessee, having in respect of such
                                    successor, transferee or lessee the same

                                    the Series F Preferred Stock had immediately
                                    prior to such transaction;

                           (ii)     the successor, transferee or lessee is
                                    organized under the laws of the United
                                    States or any political subdivision thereof;
                                    and

                           (iii)    the Company delivers to the Transfer Agent
                                    an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of
                                    Counsel stating that such transaction
                                    complies with this Certificate of
                                    Designation.

                  (b)      Upon any consolidation by the Company with, or merger
         by the Company into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or
         lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Company as
         described in Section 13(a), the successor resulting from such
         consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the transferee or
         lessee to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made,

         will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right
         and power of, the Company under the shares of the Series F Preferred
         Stock, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor
         (if still in existence) will be released from its obligations and
         covenants with respect to the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock.

         14.      TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. (a) The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, without the affirmative vote or
consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series F
Preferred Stock, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or
assets from, or enter into or make or amend any contract, agreement,
understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any
Affiliate of the Company, unless:

                                    favorable to us than those that would have
                                    been obtained in a comparable transaction
                                    with an unrelated third party, as determined
                                    by a majority of the members of the Board of
                                    Directors that are disinterested with the
                                    transaction, and

                           (ii)     the transaction either (i) has been approved
                                    by a majority of the members of the Board of
                                    Directors that are disinterested with the
                                    transaction or (ii) is a transaction for
                                    which the Company or one of its Subsidiaries
                                    has delivered to the Transfer Agent a
                                    written opinion of a nationally recognized
                                    investment banking firm stating that the
                                    transaction is fair to the Company or such
                                    Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a
                                    financial point of view.

                  (b)      The provisions of Section 14(a) shall not prohibit:

                           (i)      any issuance of securities, or other
                                    payments, pursuant to employment
                                    arrangements and stock plans of the Company
                                    or any of its Subsidiaries,

                                    to any employees and directors under stock
                                    plans of the Company or any of its
                                    Subsidiaries,

                           (iii)    any employment or consulting agreement to
                                    which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
                                    is a party,

                           (iv)     the payment of reasonable fees to directors
                                    who are not employees of the Company or any
                                    of its Subsidiaries, or

                           (v)      any transaction with a wholly-owned
                                    Subsidiary of the Company.

                           If an Officer whose signature is on a Series F
         Preferred Stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the
         Transfer Agent authenticates the Series F Preferred Stock certificate,
         the Series F Preferred Stock certificate shall be valid nevertheless.

                           A Series F Preferred Stock certificate shall not be
         valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually
         signs the certificate of authentication on the Series F Preferred Stock
         certificate. The signature shall be

                                       32

         conclusive evidence that the Series F Preferred Stock certificate has
         been authenticated under this Certificate of Designation.

                           The Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver
         certificates for up to 1,900,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock for
         original issue upon a written order of the Company signed by two
         Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Company.
         Such order shall specify the number of shares of Series F Preferred
         Stock to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of
         Series F Preferred Stock is to be authenticated.

                           The Transfer Agent may appoint an authenticating
         agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the
         certificates for Series F Preferred Stock. Unless limited by the terms
         of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate
         certificates for Series F Preferred Stock whenever the Transfer Agent
         may do so. Each reference in this Certificate of Designation to
         authentication by the Transfer Agent includes authentication by such
         agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Transfer
         Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

                  (c)      TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

                                    Certificated Series F Preferred Stock for an
                                    equal number of shares of Certificated
                                    Series F Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent
                                    shall register the transfer or make the
                                    exchange as requested if its reasonable
                                    requirements for such transaction are met;
                                    provided, however, that the Certificated

                                             procedures of DTC. The Transfer
                                             Agent may rely and shall be fully
                                             protected in relying upon
                                             information furnished by DTC with
                                             respect to its members,
                                             participants and any beneficial

                                    (B)      The Transfer Agent shall have no
                                             obligation or duty to monitor,
                                             determine or inquire as to
                                             compliance with any restrictions on
                                             transfer imposed under this
                                             Certificate of Designation or under
                                             applicable law with respect to any
                                             transfer of any interest in any
                                             Series F Preferred Stock (including
                                             any transfers between or among DTC
                                             participants, members or beneficial
                                             owners in any Global Series F
                                             Preferred Stock) other than to
                                             require delivery of such
                                             certificates and other
                                             documentation or evidence as are
                                             expressly required by, and to do so
                                             if and when expressly required by,
                                             the terms of this Certificate of
                                             Designation, and to examine the
                                             same to

                                             determine substantial compliance as
                                             to form with the express
                                             requirements hereof.

                  (d)      REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATES. If a mutilated Series F
         Preferred Stock certificate is surrendered to the Transfer Agent or if
         the Holder of a Series F Preferred Stock certificate claims that the
         Series F Preferred Stock certificate has been lost, destroyed or
         wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Transfer Agent shall
         countersign a replacement Series F Preferred Stock certificate if the
         reasonable requirements of the Transfer Agent and of Section 8-405 of
         the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York are
         met. If required by the Transfer Agent or the Company, such Holder
         shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the
         Company and the Transfer Agent to protect the Company and the Transfer
         Agent from any loss which either of them may suffer if a Series F
         Preferred Stock certificate is replaced. The Company and the Transfer
         Agent may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Series F
         Preferred Stock certificate.

                  (e)      TEMPORARY CERTIFICATES. Until definitive Series F
         Preferred Stock certificates are ready for delivery, the Company may
         prepare and the Transfer Agent shall countersign temporary Series F
         Preferred Stock certificates. Temporary Series F Preferred Stock
         certificates shall be substantially in the form of definitive Series F
         Preferred Stock certificates but may have variations that the Company
         considers appropriate for temporary Series F Preferred Stock
         certificates. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and
         the Transfer Agent shall countersign definitive Series F Preferred
         Stock certificates and deliver them in exchange for temporary Series F
         Preferred Stock certificates.

                  (f)      CANCELLATION. (i) In the event the Company shall
         purchase or otherwise acquire Certificated Series F Preferred Stock,
         the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for
         cancellation.

                           (ii)     At such time as all beneficial interests in
                                    Global Series F Preferred Stock have either
                                    been exchanged for Certificated Series F
                                    Preferred Stock, converted, repurchased or
                                    canceled, such Global Series F Preferred
                                    Stock shall thereupon be delivered to the
                                    Transfer Agent for cancellation.

                           (iii)    The Transfer Agent and no one else shall
                                    cancel and destroy all Series F Preferred
                                    Stock certificates surrendered for transfer,
                                    exchange, replacement or cancellation and
                                    deliver a certificate of such destruction to
                                    the Company unless the Company directs the
                                    Transfer Agent to deliver canceled Series F
                                    Preferred Stock certificates to the Company.
                                    The Company may not issue new Series F
                                    Preferred Stock certificates to replace
                                    Series F Preferred Stock certificates to the
                                    extent they evidence Series F Preferred
                                    Stock which the Company has purchased or
                                    otherwise acquired.

         17.      OTHER PROVISIONS.

                  (a)      With respect to any notice to a Holder required to be
         provided hereunder, such notice shall be mailed to the registered
         address of such Holder, and neither failure to mail such notice, nor
         any defect therein or in the mailing thereof, to any particular Holder
         shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the
         proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other
         Holders or affect the legality or validity of any mandatory or optional
         redemption, distribution, rights, warrant, reclassification,
         consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation,
         winding-up or other action, or the vote upon any action with respect to
         which the Holders are entitled to vote. All notice periods referred to
         herein shall commence on the date of the mailing of the applicable
         notice. Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall
         be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the
         Holder receives the notice.

                  (b)      The shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be
         issuable, convertible and redeemable only in whole shares.

                  (c)      Any calculation of a dollar amount or number of
         shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any provision of this
         Certificate of Designation, including, without limitation, the
         calculation of any Market Value, adjusted Conversion Price, Conversion
         Ratio, or Dividend Deficiency, shall be calculated to the nearest
         ten-thousandth of a dollar or share.

                  (d)      The Liquidation Preference and the annual Dividend
         Rates set forth in Section 6 shall be subject to adjustment whenever
         there shall occur a stock split, combination, reclassification or other
         similar event involving shares of the Series F Preferred Stock. Such
         adjustments shall be made in such manner and at such time as the Board
         of Directors of the Company in good faith determines to be equitable in
         the circumstances, any such determination to be evidenced in a
         resolution. Upon any such equitable adjustment, the Company shall
         promptly deliver to the Transfer Agent and each Holder an Officers'
         Certificate attaching and certifying the resolution of the Board of
         Directors, describing in reasonable detail the event requiring the
         adjustment and the method of calculation thereof and specifying the
         increased or decreased Liquidation Preference, annual Dividend Rates,
         and the Conversion Ratio, in effect following such adjustment.

                  (e)      Shares of the Series F Preferred Stock issued and
         reacquired shall be retired and canceled promptly after reacquisition
         thereof and, upon compliance with the applicable requirements of
         Oklahoma law, have the status of authorized but unissued shares of
         preferred stock of the Company undesignated as to series and may with
         any and all other authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock

         of the Company be designated or redesignated and issued or reissued, as
         the case may be, as part of any series of preferred stock of the
         Company, except that any issuance or reissuance of shares of the Series
         F Preferred Stock must be in compliance with this Certificate of
         Designation.

                  (f)      The Company covenants that it shall at all times
         reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the
         aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common
         Stock, for the purpose of effecting conversion of shares of the Series
         F Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock
         deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series
         F Preferred Stock not theretofore converted. For purposes of this
         Section 17(f), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that shall
         be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of the
         Series F Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of
         computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single Holder.
         The Company shall take all action required to increase the authorized
         number of shares of Class A Common Stock if at any time there shall be
         insufficient unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to permit such
         reservation or to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of
         the Series F Preferred Stock not theretofore converted.

                  (g)      The Company covenants that any shares of Class A
         Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of the Series F Preferred
         Stock and any additional shares of Series F Preferred Stock issued in
         payment of any dividend on shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall
         be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

                  (h)      Prior to the delivery of any shares of Class A Common
         Stock or other securities that the Company shall be obligated to
         deliver upon conversion of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock or
         the delivery of any additional shares of Series F Preferred Stock in
         payment of any dividend on shares of the Series F Preferred Stock, the
         Company shall comply with all federal and state laws and regulations
         thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any
         approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental
         authority. Any share of Class A Common Stock or Series F Preferred
         Stock so delivered shall be freely transferable under the Securities
         Act.

                  (i)      The Company shall list the shares of Class A Common
         Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of shares of the Series
         F Preferred Stock, prior to such delivery, upon each national
         securities exchange or quotation system, if any, upon which the
         outstanding Class A Common Stock is listed at the time of such
         delivery.

                  (j)      The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp
         or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or
         delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities or
         property upon conversion of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock
         pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of Designation;
         provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay

                                       45
<PAGE>

         any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
         issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities
         or property in a name other than that of the Holder of the shares of
         the Series F Preferred Stock to be converted and no such issue or
         delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such
         issue or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or
         established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, that such
         tax has been paid.

                  (k)      The headings of the various sections and subsections
         of this Certificate of Designation are for convenience of reference
         only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions
         of this Certificate of Designation.

                  (l)      Whenever possible, each provision of this Certificate
         of Designation shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and
         valid under applicable law and public policy. If any provision set
         forth herein is held to be invalid, unlawful or incapable of being
         enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, such provision
         shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
         invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the
         remaining provisions of this Certificate of Designation. No provision
         herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision
         unless so expressed herein. If a court of competent jurisdiction should
         determine that a provision of this Certificate of Designation 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.

                  (m)      The Holders as such are not entitled to any
         preemptive or preferential right to purchase or subscribe to any
         capital stock, obligations, warrants or other securities of the
         Company.

                  (n)      Except as may otherwise be required by law, the
         shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall not have any powers,
         designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or
         other special rights, other than those specifically set forth in this
         Certificate of Designation or the Certificate of Incorporation.

                           Dobson Communications Corporation, an Oklahoma
         corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to Section 1007(F) of the
         Oklahoma General Corporation Act, for the purpose of correcting the
         Certificate of Designation of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the
         "Certificate of Designation") of the Company filed on August 18, 2003,
         hereby certifies the following:

         February 3, 1997, under the name "Dobson Holdings Corporation."

                           2. On August 18, 2003, the Company filed the
         Certificate of Designation which contained certain typographical
         errors, and therefore constituted an inaccurate record of the powers,
         preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special

                           3. The Certificate of Designation is corrected to
         reflect the following:

                           a) The definition of "ISSUE DATE" in Section 2 (n)
                              will read in its entirety as follows:

                           "(n) "ISSUE DATE" shall mean August 19, 2003, the
                           original date of issuance of shares of the Series F
                           Preferred Stock."

                           b) The definition of "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"
                              in Section 2 (aa) will read in its entirety as
                              follows:

                           "(aa) means the Registration Rights Agreement dated
                           August 19, 2003 between the Company and the holders
                           of the Class A Common Stock and the Series F
                           Preferred Stock set forth on the signature pages
                           thereto."
