            MARKETING SERVICES GROUP, INC., a corporation organized and existing
under the Nevada General Corporation Law (the  "Corporation"),  hereby certifies
that (a) the amendments to the Certificate of Designation (as defined below) set
forth in this  Certificate of Amendment were approved by the written  consent of
100% of the holders of the outstanding  Series E Convertible  Preferred Stock of
the  Corporation  in accordance  with Section  78.1955(3) of the Nevada  General
Corporation Law and the  requirements set forth in Article IX of the Certificate
of Designation (as defined below) and (b) the following resolutions were adopted
by the Board of  Directors  of the  Corporation  on March 17,  2000  pursuant to
authority of the Board of Directors as required by Section 78.1955 of the Nevada
General Corporation Law:

            WHEREAS,  the original  designation of the series of preferred stock
is  "Series E  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,"  which  designation  is not being
amended; and

            WHEREAS, Article V.A.(ii) of the Certificate of Designation provides
as follows:

            "(ii)  The  Corporation  fails  to  obtain  effectiveness  with  the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC"),  prior to June 18, 2000, of the
Registration  Statement (as defined in the Registration  Rights  Agreement,  the
"Registration  Statement")  required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) of the

Registration Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), lapses in
effect  or  sales  of all of  the  Registrable  Securities  (as  defined  in the
Registration Rights Agreement, the "Registrable Securities") otherwise cannot be
made  thereunder  (whether  by reason of the  Corporation's  failure to amend or
supplement the prospectus  included  therein in accordance with the Registration
Rights  Agreement,  the Corporation's  failure to file and obtain  effectiveness
with  the SEC of an  additional  Registration  Statement  required  to be  filed
pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Registration  Rights Agreement or otherwise) for
more than  forty-five  (45)  consecutive  calendar  days or more than sixty (60)
calendar days in any twelve (12) month period after such Registration  Statement
becomes effective."

            WHEREAS,  Article V.C. of the Certificate of Designation  provides
as follows:

            "C.   Failure  to  Pay  Redemption  Amounts.  In  the  case  of  a
Mandatory  Redemption  Event,  if the  Corporation  fails to pay the Mandatory
Redemption  Amount,  within five (5) business days of written notice that such
amount is due and payable,  then  (assuming  there are  sufficient  authorized
shares) in addition to all other available  remedies,  each holder of Series E
Preferred  Stock  shall have the right at any time,  so long as the  Mandatory
Redemption Event continues,  to require the Corporation,  upon written notice,
to immediately  issue (in accordance  with and subject to the terms of Article
VI below), in lieu of the Mandatory  Redemption  Amount,  the number of shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation equal to such applicable  redemption amount
divided by any  Conversion  Price (as  defined  below),  as chosen in the sole
discretion of the holder of Series E Preferred  Stock, in effect from the date
of the  Mandatory  Redemption  Event  until  the date  such  holder  elects to
exercise its rights pursuant to this Article V.E."

            RESOLVED,  that pursuant to the  authority  granted to and vested in
the Board of  Directors of this  Corporation  (the "Board of  Directors"  or the
"Board") in accordance with the provisions of its Articles of Incorporation, the
Board of Directors,  with the consent of 100% of the holders of the  outstanding
Series E Convertible  Preferred Stock of the Corporation,  hereby amends certain
of the provisions of the Certificate of Designations,  Preferences and Rights of
Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Corporation filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of Nevada  on  February  22,  2000  (the  "Certificate  of
Designation") as follows:

                  1. Article V.A(ii) of the Certificate of Designation  shall be
amended to delete the  reference to "June 18,  2000" and replace such  reference
with "July 18, 2000".

                  2.  Article V.C of the  Certificate  of  Designation  shall be
amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                        "C.   Payment of  Redemption  Amounts in Common Stock.
In the case of a Mandatory  Redemption  Event,  subject to the  restrictions set
forth in Article  VI.A(b)  and the  proviso to Article  VI.A(a),  each holder of
Series E Preferred  Stock may elect,  at any time and from time to time prior to
the  payment  of the  Mandatory  Redemption  Amount  by  written  notice  to the
Corporation  of such  election  (a "Stock  Redemption  Notice"),  to require the
Corporation to immediately issue (in accordance with and subject to the terms of
Article VI below),  in lieu of all or any  portion of the  Mandatory  Redemption
Amount,  the number of shares of Common Stock of the  Corporation  equal to such
portion  of the  Mandatory  Redemption  Amount  which  such  holder  of Series E
Preferred  Stock elects to receive in Common Stock pursuant to this Article V.C.
divided by the lesser of (i) the Redemption  Market Price (as defined below) and
(ii) the  Conversion  Price (as  defined  below) in effect on the date the Stock
Redemption  Notice is sent to the  Corporation.  The  "Redemption  Market Price"
shall be the  Closing Bid Price (as  defined  below) of the Common  Stock on the
Trading  Day  prior to the  date  the  Stock  Redemption  Notice  is sent to the
Corporation.  To the extent an electing  holder of Series E Preferred Stock does
not elect or is not entitled to receive  shares of Common Stock pursuant to this
Article V.C., the remaining portion of the Mandatory Redemption Amount which has
not been  received  in  Common  Stock by such  holder  shall be  payable  by the
Corporation in cash in accordance with Article V.A."

                  3.  All  of  the  other   provisions  of  the  Certificate  of
Designation shall remain in full force and effect.
