                                    TO THE
                     RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
                                      OF
                          QUICKSILVER RESOURCES INC.


        Pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law


     Quicksilver Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"),
hereby certifies as follows:

FIRST:    The name of the Corporation is Quicksilver Resources Inc.

SECOND:   New articles ELEVENTH, TWELFTH and THIRTEENTH of the Restated
          Certificate of Incorporation are hereby added and the full text of
          such new articles is as follows:

     ELEVENTH:  (a) The number of directors constituting the entire Board of
     Directors shall be not less than three nor more than nine as fixed from
     time to time by vote of a majority of the entire Board, provided, however,
     that the number of directors shall not be reduced so as to shorten the term
     of any director at the time in office, and provided, further, that the
     number of directors constituting the entire Board shall be seven until
     otherwise fixed by a majority of the entire Board.

     (b)  The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, as nearly
     equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the
     entire Board permits, with the term of office of one class expiring each
     year. At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which
     this article ELEVENTH is approved, directors of the first class shall be
     elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual
     meeting, directors of the second class shall be elected to hold office for
     a term expiring at the second succeeding annual meeting and directors of
     the third class shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the
     third succeeding annual meeting. Any vacancies in the Board of Directors
     for any reason, and any directorships resulting from any increase in the
     number of directors, may be filled by the Board of Directors, acting by a
     majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, and
     any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the
     class for which such directors shall have been chosen and until their
     successors shall be elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of
     stockholders the successors to the class of directors whose term shall then
     expire shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third
     succeeding annual meeting.

     (c)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Restated Certificate of
     Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, any director or the entire
     Board of Directors of the

     Corporation may be removed at any time, but only for cause and only by the
     affirmative vote of the holder of two-thirds or more of the outstanding
     shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in
     the election of directors (considered for this purpose as one class) cast
     at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.

     TWELFTH:  No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any
     annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken
     without a meeting, and the power of stockholders to cause any such action
     to be taken by consent in writing, without a meeting, prior notice, and a
     vote, is specifically denied.

     THIRTEENTH:  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated
     Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation (and in
     addition to any other vote that may be required by law, this Restated
     Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws), the affirmative vote of the
     holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the capital
     stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
     directors (considered for this purpose as one class) shall be required to
     amend, alter or repeal any provision of articles NINTH, TENTH, ELEVENTH,
     TWELFTH, or THIRTEENTH of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

THIRD:    This Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of
          Incorporation shall be effective as of the date of filing.

FOURTH:   This Certificate of Amendment was duly adopted in accordance with the
          provisions of Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Quicksilver Resources Inc., has caused this
Certificate of Amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be
executed by its President and Chief Executive Officer and attested by its
Secretary this 5th day of June, 2001.
