<PAGE>

     BROOKS FIBER PROPERTIES, INC., a corporation organized and existing under
and by virtue of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, DOES
HEREBY CERTIFY:

     FIRST: That the Board of Directors of said corporation, by unanimous
written consent adopted a resolution proposing and declaring advisable that the
Certificate of Incorporation of BROOKS FIBER PROPERTIES, INC. be amended to
include a new Article Tenth to read as follows:

     TENTH.

          A. The Board of Directors shall be divided into three (3) classes,
     designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as
     nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors
     constituting the entire Board of Directors. At the annual meeting of
     stockholders to be held in 1996, the directors of Class I shall be elected
     for a term of one year, the directors of Class II shall be elected for a
     term of two years, and the directors of Class III shall be elected for a
     term of three years, and in each case, until their respective successors
     shall have been elected and qualified in the class to which such director
     is assigned or until their earlier death, resignation and removal. At each
     annual meeting of stockholders thereafter, the successors of the directors
     of the class whose term expires in that year shall be elected to hold
     office for a term of three years (and until their respective successors
     shall have been elected and qualified in such class or until their earlier
     death, resignation or removal), so that the term of one class of directors
     shall expire in each year. If the number of directors is changed, any
     increase or decrease in directorships shall be apportioned among the
     classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly
     equal as possible, and any additional directors of any class elected to
     fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office
     only until the next election of directors by the stockholders, but in no
     case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any
     incumbent director. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors, whether arising
     through death, resignation or removal, or through an increase in the number
     of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
     remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Any
     director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next
     election of directors by the stockholders.

          B. Notwithstanding anything in the Certificate of Incorporation or
     By-Laws of the Corporation to the contrary, whenever the holders of any one
     or more classes or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation
     other than shares of Voting Common Stock shall have the right, voting
     separately by class or series, to elect directors, the election, term of
     office, filling of vacancies and other features of
<PAGE>

     such directorship shall be governed by the terms of the Restated
     Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or any Certificate of
     Designation thereunder applicable thereto; and such directors so elected
     shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article Tenth unless
     expressly provided by such terms.

     SECOND: That holders of more than a majority of all the outstanding
Voting Common Stock voted in favor of said amendment.

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

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, said BROOKS FIBER PROPERTIES, INC. has caused this
certificate to be signed by J. C. Allen, its Vice Chairman, and attested by
J. P. Denneen, its Secretary this 20th day of August, 1996.


                                         BROOKS FIBER PROPERTIES, INC.
