The Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in it as aforesaid, has adopted the following resolutions creating a “Series A” issue of Preferred Shares:

RESOLVED, that one series of the class of authorized Preferred Stock of the Corporation be and hereby is created, and that the designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences, and relative participating, optional, and other special rights of the shares of each such series, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, are as follows:

2. Dividends. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock.

3. Liquidation, Dissolution Or Winding Up. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall not be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders.

4. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the holders of Corporation’s capital stock, whether common stock or otherwise, for vote. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast that number of votes on all such matters as shall equal fifty and one-tenth percent (50.1%) of the number of shares of capital stock entitled to vote on such matter at the record date for determination of holders entitled to vote on any such matters presented, or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of such holders is solicited. With respect to such vote, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have full voting rights and powers not less 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 bylaws 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.

Chang (the “Secured Promissory Note”) as of the        day of May 2010 (the “Original Issue Date”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Series A Preferred Stock be cancelled or otherwise terminate under this clause if an Event of Default (as defined in the Secured Promissory Note) shall exist or (iii) Sung H. Chang transfers the Series A Preferred Stock to a third party; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of this certificate of designation to the contrary, including, without limitation, this clause (iii), holder may in his sole and absolute discretion transfer, whether by last will & testament, gift or otherwise, the Series A Preferred Stock to a trust or similar structure, his spouse or lineal descendents for estate planning purposes or on account of his death or incapacity, in which case such Series A Preferred Stock shall not terminate or otherwise be cancelled on account of any such transfer or disposition.

6. Redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to redemption, whether at the option of either the Corporation or any holder of the Series A Preferred Stock.

7. Separate Vote of Preferred Stock. For so long as any shares of Series A Stock remain outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by law, the vote or written consent of the holders of the Series A Stock shall be required to effect or validate any action which:

11. Reissuance of Preferred Stock. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired in any manner, including shares purchased or redeemed or exchanged, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of the State of Nevada) have the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock undesignated as to series and may be redesignated and reissued as part of any series of preferred stock other than the Series A Preferred Stock.

12. Business Day. If any payment, redemption or exchange shall be required by the terms hereof to be made on a day that banks are not open in the State of Nevada, such payment, redemption or exchange shall be made on the immediately succeeding day on which such banks are open.

13. Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

14. Severability. If any right, preference or limitation of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in these resolutions and the Certificate of Designations filed pursuant hereto (as such resolution may be amended from time to time) is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this resolution (as so amended) which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the statements contained in the foregoing resolutions creating and designating the said Series A Preferred Stock and fixing the number, powers, preferences and relative, optional, participating, and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing characteristics thereof shall, upon the effective date of each said series, be deemed to be included in and be a part of the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate to be signed by its Secretary, this 13 day of May, 2010. The signature below shall constitute the affirmation or acknowledgment of the signatory, under penalties of perjury, that the instrument is the act and deed of the Corporation and that the facts stated herein are true.
