RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and invested in the Board of Directors by the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, a series of the preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company be, and it hereby is, established; and

SECTION 1.  DESIGNATION OF SERIES; RANK.

The shares of such series shall be designated as the "Series B Preferred Stock" and the number of shares initially constituting such series shall be One (1) share (the “Share”).  Any stock of any class or classes of the Company, other than (a) the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company; and (b) the previously designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (as the same may be reclassified, changed or amended from time to time), shall be deemed to rank prior to the Share upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

SECTION 4.                                REDEMPTION.

(2) Notice of redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the holder of the Share at its address as it shall appear on the records of the Company, (i) notifying the holder of the Share of the redemption of the Share and (ii) stating the place at which the certificate evidencing the Share shall be surrendered.
