The preferences, restriction and qualifications applicable to the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

PART A- COMMON STOCK

 

Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation.

 

After the payment or declaration and setting aside for payment of the full cumulative dividends for all prior and then current dividend periods; all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and after setting aside all stock purchase funds or sinking funds heretofore required to be set aside with respect to the Preferred Stock, dividends on the Common Stock may be declared and paid, but only when and as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

On any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, after there shall have been paid to or set aside for the holders of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled to receive, pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of each class outstanding, all the remaining assets of the Corporation will be available for distribution to its common shareholders.

 

PART B - PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Board of Directors is expressly vested with the authority to divide any or all of the Preferred Stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of each series so established, provided, however, that the rights and preferences of the various series may vary only with respect to:

 

(a)the rate of dividend;

 

(b)whether the shares may be called and, if so, the call once and the terms and conditions of call;

 

(c)the amount payable upon the shares in the event of voluntary and involuntary liquidation;

 

(d)sinking fund provisions, if any for the call or redemption of the shares;

 

(e)the terms and conditions, if any, on which the shares may be converted;

 

(f)voting rights; and

 

(g)whether the shares will be cumulative, noncumulative or partially cumulative as to dividends and the dates from which any cumulative dividends are to accumulate.

 

The Board of Directors shall exercise the foregoing authority by adopting a resolution setting forth the designation of each series and the number of shares therein, and fixing and determining the relative rights and preferences thereof. The Board of Directors may make any change in the designations, terms, limitations or relative rights or preferences of any series in the same manner, so long as no shares of such series are outstanding at such time.

 

Within the limits and restrictions, if any, stated in any resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, the Board of Directors is authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of such series. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the share constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

 

CLASSES OF PREFERRED STOCK

 

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

 

There shall be authorized One (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share which shall have the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, or the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, as set forth below:

 

DESIGNATION. The Preferred Stock subject hereof shall be designated Series A Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred"). No other shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated as Series A Preferred stock.

 

 

 

 5 

 

 

RANKING. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Corporation's Common Stock, any other shares of Preferred Stock the Corporation may issue in the future with respect to the right to receive dividends, distributions or proceeds in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, and the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to satisfy the Corporation's obligations to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, all payments shall be made to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis.

 

DIVIDENDS. The Series A Preferred Stock shall not participate in dividends.

 

CONVERSION. Each share of Series A Preferred shall be convertible into into 25% of the Company's issued share capital.

 

ADJUSTMENTS FOR RECLASSIFICATION AND REORGANIZATION, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS or SALES OF ASSETS. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, the conversion rate shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Series A Preferred shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series A Preferred immediately before that change.

 

REORGANIZATIONS. If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Certificate, there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (reverse split, forward split, etc.), as a part of such capital reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred the same number of shares of Common Stock to which that holder would have been entitled prior to such capital reorganization. In essence, the number of Series A Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding, and the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred is convertible, shall not be affected by any such capital reorganization.

 

NO IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, 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 Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out all the provisions of this Certificate 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 the Series A Preferred against impairment.

 

LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Series A Preferred shall not be entitled to receive any amounts in liquidation.

 

VOTING Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any and all matters considered and voted upon by the Corporation's Common Stock. The Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to votes equal to Twenty Five Percent of the Corporation's issued share capital.

 

OTHER PREFERENCES. The shares of the Series A Preferred shall have no other preferences, rights, restrictions, or qualifications, except as otherwise provided by law or the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation.

 

SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

 

There shall be authorized Two (2) shares of Class B Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, which shall have the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, or the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, as set forth below:

 

DESIGNATION. The Preferred Stock subject hereof shall be designated Series B Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred"). No other shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated as Series B Preferred stock.

 

 

 

 6 

 

 

RANKING. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Corporation's Common Stock, junior to the Series A Preferred stock, and senior to any other shares of Preferred Stock the Corporation may issue in the future with respect to the right to receive dividends, distributions or proceeds in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, and the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to satisfy the Corporation's obligations to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, all payments shall be made to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis.

 

DIVIDENDS. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. The Series B Preferred Stock shall participate in dividends based on votes per share in pari passu with the Common Stock, and not based on shares.

 

CONVERSION. Each share of Series B Preferred shall, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, be convertible into Series B Preferred Stock converts into 25% of the Company's issued share capital per share.

 

All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock as provided herein shall be duly and validly issues and fully paid and non-assessable. Effective as of the Conversion Date, such converted Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holder with respect to such shares shall immediately terminate except the right to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

 

The Corporation covenants that, within 30 days of receipt of the Conversion Notice from any holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock wherein which such conversion would create more shares of Common Stock than are authorized, the Corporation will increase the number of authorized the authorized number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy such holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock submitting such Conversion Notice.

 

Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are anti-dilutive to reverse splits, and therefore in the case of a reverse split, are convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock after the reverse split as would have been equal to the ratio established prior to the reverse split. The Conversion Rate of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, however, would increase proportionately in the case of forward splits, and may not be diluted by reverse split following the forward split.

 

VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on any and all matters considered and voted upon by the Corporation's Common Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred shall, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, be entitled to votes equivalent to 25% of the Company's issued share capital per share.

 

ADJUSTMENTS FOR RECLASSIFICATION AND REORGANIZATION, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS or SALES OF ASSETS. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, the conversion rate shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Series B Preferred shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series B Preferred immediately before that change.

 

REORGANIZATIONS. If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Certificate, there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (reverse split, forward split, etc.), as a part of such capital reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series B Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series B Preferred the same number of shares of Common Stock to which that holder would have been entitled prior to such capital reorganization. In essence, the number of Series B Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding, and the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series B Preferred is convertible, shall not be affected by any such capital reorganization.

NO IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, 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 Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out all the provisions of this Certificate 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 the Series B Preferred against impairment.

 

RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Corporation shall at all times 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 Series B Preferred, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate.

 

LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Series B Preferred shall not be entitled to receive any amounts in liquidation.

 

INVOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION. In the event of involuntary liquidation, the shares of this series shall be entitled to the same amounts as in the event of voluntary liquidation. The Series B Preferred shall automatically be converted into Common Stock at the conversion rate hereinabove stated.

 

OTHER RESTRICTIONS. There shall be no conditions or restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the Corporation, or any subsidiary or upon the creation of any other series of preferred stock with any other preferences.

 

SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

 

There shall be authorized One Hundred (100) shares of Series C Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share which shall have the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights, if any, or the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, as set forth below:

 

DESIGNATION. The Preferred Stock subject hereof shall be designated Series C Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred"). No other shares of Preferred Stock shall be designated as Series C Preferred stock.

 

RANKING. The Series C Preferred Stock shall rank senior to the Corporation's Common Stock, junior to the Series A Preferred stock and Series B Preferred Stock, and senior to any other shares of Preferred Stock the Corporation may issue in the future with respect to the right to receive dividends, distributions or proceeds in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, and the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to satisfy the Corporation's obligations to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, all payments shall be made to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis.

 

DIVIDENDS. The Series C Preferred Stock shall not participate in dividends with the Common Stock.

 

CONVERSION. The Series C Preferred Stock shall convert into 90% of the Company's issued share capital at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time. The conversion right of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be exercised by the surrender of the certificates representing shares to be converted to the Corporation or its transfer agent for the Series C Preferred, accompanied by written notice electing conversion. No additional consideration or any other action need to be taken in order to effectively convert the Series C Preferred to the Common Stock of the Corporation. Immediately prior to the close of business on the date the Corporation receives written notice of conversion, each converting holder of Series C Preferred shall be deemed to be the holder of record of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such holder's Series C Preferred notwithstanding that the share register of the Corporation shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such person.

 

 

 

 8 

 

 

Promptly after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder pursuant to the holder's conversion of Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The stock certificate(s) evidencing the Common Stock shall be issued with a restrictive legend indicating that it was issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and that it cannot be transferred unless it is so registered, or an exemption from registration is available, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation. The Common Stock shall be issued in the same name as the person who is the holder of the Series C Preferred Stock unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, such transfer can be made in compliance with applicable securities laws. The person in whose name the certificate(s) of Common Stock are so registered shall be treated as a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation on the date the Common Stock certificate(s) are so issued.

 

All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock as provided herein shall be duly and validly issues and fully paid and non-assessable. Effective as of the Conversion Date, such converted Series C Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holder with respect to such shares shall immediately terminate except the right to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

 

The Corporation covenants that, within 30 days of receipt of the Conversion Notice from any holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock wherein which such conversion would create more shares of Common Stock than are authorized, the Corporation will increase the number of authorized the authorized number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy such holder of shares of Series C Preferred Stock submitting such Conversion Notice.

 

Shares of Series C Preferred Stock are anti-dilutive to reverse splits, and therefore in the case of a reverse split, are convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock after the reverse split as would have been equal to the ratio established prior to the reverse split. The Conversion Rate of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, however, would increase proportionately in the case of forward splits, and may not be diluted by reverse split following the forward split.

 

ADJUSTMENTS FOR RECLASSIFICATION AND REORGANIZATION, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS or SALES OF ASSETS. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise, the conversion rate shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted so that the Series C Preferred shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series C Preferred immediately before that change.

 

REORGANIZATIONS. If at any time or from time to time after the date of this Certificate, there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (reverse split, forward split, etc.), as a part of such capital reorganization, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series C Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series C Preferred the same number of shares of Common Stock to which that holder would have been entitled prior to such capital reorganization. In essence, the number of Series C Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding, and the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series C Preferred is convertible, shall not be affected by any such capital reorganization.

 

NO IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, 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 Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out all the provisions of this Certificate 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 the Series C Preferred against impairment.

 

RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION. The Corporation shall at all times 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 Series C Preferred, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate.

LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Series C Preferred shall not be entitled to receive liquidation in preference to the holders of common shares or any other class or series of preferred stock. Rather, the Series C Preferred shall automatically be converted into Common Stock at the conversion rate hereinabove stated.

The Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to votes equivalent to 90% of the Company's issued share capital at the option of the holder thereof.

 

OTHER PREFERENCES. The shares of the Series C Preferred shall have no other preferences, rights, restrictions, or qualifications, except as otherwise provided by law or the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation.
