the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, does hereby certify that,
pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Company by
the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, and pursuant to the General
Corporation Law of' the State of Nevada, the Board of Directors of the Company
at a meeting duly held, adopted resolutions (i) authorizing a series of the
Company's authorized preferred stock, $.001 par value per share, and (ii)
providing for the designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, of 900 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company,
as follows:
RESOLVED, that the Company is authorized to issue 900 shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES"), $.001 par value
per share, which shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and
other special rights:
1. Dividends. The Series B Preferred Shares shall not bear any dividends.
---------
2. Holder's Conversion of Series B Preferred Shares. A holder of Series B
---------------------------------------------------
Preferred Shares shall have the right to convert the Series B Preferred Shares
into shares of the Company's common stock, $.001 par value per share (the
"COMMON STOCK"), on the following terms and conditions:
(a) Conversion Right. Subject to Section 2(e) hereof, the holder of the
-----------------
Series B Preferred shall be entitled to convert all the Series B Preferred
Shares into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company's
Common Stock equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Company's Common Stock then
outstanding , calculated on a fully-diluted basis (including all issued and
1
outstanding Common Stock, the exercise or conversion of all other securities
exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock, and the fulfillment of any
other written commitments of the Company to issue or sell Common Stock) (such
calculation shall be referred to herein as the "Conversion Rate"), subject to
Sections 2(c), 2(d)(i) and 2(g) hereof.
(b) Adjustment to Conversion Rate - Dilution and Other Events.In order to
----------------------------------------------------------
prevent dilution of the rights granted under this Certificate of Designations,
the Conversion Rate will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided
in this Section 2(b).
(i) Adjustment of Fixed Conversion Price upon Subdivision or
Combination of Common Stock.If the Company at any time subdivides (by any
stock split, stock dividend, re-capitalization or otherwise) one or more
classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
will be proportionately adjusted. If the Company at any time combines (by
combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such combination will be
proportionately adjusted.
(ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, or Sale.
Upon any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
consolidation of the Company which does not constitute an Organic Change
(as defined in Section 2(e) hereof), holders of the Series B Preferred
Shares then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such
shares only into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and
property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock
following such recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
consolidation, and the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be
entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or
property as a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
into which such Series B Preferred Shares could have been converted
immediately prior to such event would have been entitled. This provision
shall similarly apply to successive recapitalizations, reorganizations,
reclassifications, or consolidations.
(iii) Notices.
(A) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the
Company will give written notice thereof to each holder of Series B
Preferred Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail and certifying
the calculation of such adjustment.
(B) The Company will give written notice to each holder of Series
B Preferred Shares at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on
which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect
to any dividend or
2
distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata
subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining
rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change, dissolution or
liquidation.
(C) The Company will also give written notice to each holder of
Series B Preferred Shares at least twenty (20) days prior to the date
on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take
place.
(c) Purchase Rights.If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any
----------------
options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants,
securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of
Common Stock (the "PURCHASE RIGHTS"), then the holder(s) of Series B Preferred
Shares will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if
such holder(s) had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon
complete conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares immediately before the date
an which a record is taken for the grant issuance or sale of such Purchase
Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record
holder(s) of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of
such Purchase Rights.

and the originally executed Conversion Notice.
(ii) Company's Response.Upon receipt by the Company of a
facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall immediately
send, via Facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion

determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the
holder(s), then the Company shall within one (1) business day submit
via facsimile the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion
Rate to its independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause
the accountant to perform the determination and notify the Company and
the holder(s) of the results no later than forty-eight (48) hours from
the time it receives the disputed calculations. Such accountant's
determination shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.
(iv) Record Holder(s).The person or persons entitled to receive

Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.

---------------------
day from the date hereof or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the

organization and a government or any department or agency thereof), then all

-----------------
of Common Stock upon any conversion. All shares of Common Stock (including
fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of the Series
4
B Preferred Shares by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of
determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of a fraction of
a share of Common Stock. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the issuance
would result in the issuance of a fraction of it share of Common Stock, the
Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the
nearest whole share.

conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares, such number of Shares of Common
Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to affect the conversion of all
of the Series B Preferred Shares. If at any time, the Company does not have
available an amount of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock necessary
to satisfy full conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Shares outstanding,
the Company shall call and hold a special shareholders meeting within sixty (60)

Secretary of State containing any provisions, which would adversely affect or
otherwise impair the rights or relative priority of the holders of the Series B
Preferred Shares relative to the holders of the Common Stock or the holders of
any other class of capital stock. In the event of the merger or consolidation of

may reasonably condition the making of any distribution (as such term is defined
under applicable federal tax law and regulations) in respect of any Series B
Preferred Shares on the holder of such Series B Preferred Shares depositing with
the Company an amount of cash sufficient to enable the Company to satisfy its
withholding tax obligations (the "WITHHOLDING TAX") with respect to such
distribution, Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, if any
holder of the Series B Preferred Shares so effected receives advice in writing
from its counsel that there is a reasonable basis to believe that the Company is
not so required by applicable federal laws or regulations and delivers a copy of
8
such written advice to the Company, the Company shall not be permitted to
condition the making of any such distribution in respect of any Series B
Preferred Share on the holder of such Series B Preferred Shares depositing with
the Company any Withholding Tax with respect to such distribution, provided,
---------
however,the Company may reasonably condition the making of any such distribution
- -------
in respect of any Series B Preferred Share on the holder of such Series B
Preferred Shares executing and delivering to the Company, at the election of the
holder, either: (i) if applicable, a property completed Internal Revenue Service
Form 4224, or (a) an indemnification agreement in reasonably acceptable form,
with respect to any federal tax liability, penalties and interest that may be
imposed upon the Company by the Internal Revenue Service as a result of the
Company's failure to withhold in connection with such distribution to such
holder. If the conditions in the preceding two sentences are fully satisfied,
the Company shall not be required to pay any additional damages if its failure
to timely deliver any Conversion Shares results solely from the holder(s)
failure to deposit any withholding tax hereunder or provide to the Company an
executed indemnification agreement in the form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.
