SECTION 3. LIQUIDATION
PREFERENCE. The Holders of the Preferred Stock shall not be

SECTION 4. CONVERSION
RIGHTS. The Preferred Stock shall have the following
conversion rights (the “Conversion
Rights”):
(a)
Automatic Conversion.
(i) Upon
the Effective Date of the Reverse Split (the “Automatic Conversion Date”),
each share of Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of the
Company’s post-Reverse Split Common Stock (the “Automatic Conversion”), at the
rate of Nine Hundred Eighty-Seven and one-half (987.5) post-Reverse
Split shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each One (1) share of Preferred
Stock held by each Holder (the “Conversion Rate”), without any
required action by the Holder thereof. As soon as practicable after
the Automatic Conversion, each stock certificate (if any) evidencing ownership
of the Preferred Stock shares (the “Preferred Stock
Certificate(s)”), shall be surrendered to the Company for exchange by the
Holders thereof. Upon receipt of the Preferred Stock Certificates,
duly endorsed, or certifications confirming the ownership of such Preferred
Stock, the Company (itself, or through its transfer agent) shall promptly
issue to the exchanging stockholder that number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of such shares of Preferred Stock being converted,
under the Conversion Rate (the “Conversion Shares”). All
Common Stock issued to the exchanging stockholders will be issued as Restricted
Shares.
(ii) In
the event that the Preferred Stock Certificates are not surrendered to the
Company within Five (5) Business Days of the Automatic Conversion Date, each
Preferred Stock Certificate shall automatically, and without any required action
by the Holders thereof be cancelled and terminated and the Conversion Shares
shall be issued to the prior Holders of the Preferred Stock Certificates
pursuant to and in connection with the Conversion Rate and mailed to such
Holders at their address of record as provided by such Holders to the
Company. All Common Stock issued to the exchanging stockholders will
be issued as Restricted Shares.
(b) Taxes. The
Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect to
any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon
conversion in a name other than that in which the shares of the Preferred Stock
so converted were registered, 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 has established, to the satisfaction of the
Company, that such tax has been paid.
(c) No
Impairment. The Company will not through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good
faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in
the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of Preferred Stock against
impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4 shall
prohibit the Company from amending its Articles of Incorporation with the
requisite consent of its stockholders and the Board of Directors.
(d) Fractional
Shares. If any conversion of Preferred Stock would result
in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating an individual
stockholder’s shares of Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to the
Automatic Conversion), such fractional share shall be rounded to one whole share
of Common Stock.
-2-
(e) Reservation
of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. Following the Reverse Split, the Company
shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of
the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall be
sufficient to effect conversion of all of the then outstanding shares of the
Preferred Stock.
SECTION 5.
VOTING. The shares of Preferred Stock shall have the same
voting rights as those accruing to the Common Stock and shall vote that number
of voting shares as are issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock that
any Holder holds as of the record date of any such vote based on the Conversion
Ratio divided by the Reverse Split (to retroactively take into account the
Reverse Split). For example, assuming One Hundred (100) shares of
Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding on the record date for any
stockholder vote, such shares, voting in aggregate, shall vote a total of
Eighteen Million Three Hundred Sixty-Seven Thousand Five
Hundred (18,367,500) voting shares – The One Hundred (100) Preferred
Stock shares multiplied by the Conversion Ratio (987.5 for 1)[ 987.5/1 = 987.5]
divided by the Reverse Split (1:186)[1/186] = Eighteen Million Three Hundred
Sixty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred (18,367,500). The voting rights of
the Preferred Stock shall be applicable regardless of whether the Company has a
sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock then
available to affect an Automatic Conversion. Each holder of the
Preferred Stock shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting
rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled,
notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in
accordance with the by-laws of the Corporation, and shall be entitled to vote,
together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which
holders of Common Stock have the right to vote.
SECTION 6.
DIVIDENDS. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled to receive dividends paid on the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock
shall not accrue any dividends.
SECTION 7. REDEMPTION
RIGHTS. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have
or be subject to any redemption rights.
SECTION
8. PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS.
Subject
to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into
existence, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding,
this Company shall not without first obtaining the approval (by written consent,
as provided by law) of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares
of Preferred Stock, voting together as a class:
(a) Increase
or decrease (other than by conversion) the total number of authorized shares of
Series A Preferred Stock;
(b) Effect
an exchange, reclassification, or cancellation of all or a part of the Series A
Preferred Stock, including a reverse stock split (other than the Reverse Split),
but excluding a stock split, so long as the Series A Preferred Stock’s
Conversion Rights are not diminished in connection therewith;
(c) Effect
an exchange, or create a right of exchange, of all or part of the shares of
another class of shares into shares of Series A Preferred Stock other than as
provided herein or in any Share Exchange Agreement or related document entered
into between the Company and the Holders; or
(d) Alter
or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series, including
the rights set forth in this Designation.
SECTION 9. PREEMPTIVE
RIGHTS. Holders of Preferred Stock and holders of Common Stock
shall not be entitled to any preemptive, subscription or similar rights in
respect to any securities of the Company, except as specifically set forth
herein or in any other document agreed to by the Company.
SECTION 10. REPORTS. The
Company shall mail to all holders of Preferred Stock those reports, proxy
statements and other materials that it mails to all of its holders of Common
Stock.
-3-
SECTION 11. NOTICES. In
addition to any other means of notice provided by law or in the Company's
Bylaws, any notice required by the provisions of this Designation to be given to
the Holders of Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United
States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each Holder of record at such
Holder's address appearing on the books of the Company.

WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designation is executed on behalf of the
