CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF PREFERENCES, 
RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
OF
SERIES D CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

PURSUANT TO SECTION 151 OF THE
GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

The undersigned, Chief Executive Officer of Silver Horn Mining Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that the following resolutions were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation by unanimous written consent on November 6, 2012;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is authorized within the limitations and restrictions stated in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, to provide by resolution or resolutions for the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.000l per share, of the Corporation, in such Series and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall fix by resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance thereof duly adopted by the Board of Directors; and

WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to authorize and fix the terms of a series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

Section 1. Designation and Authorized Shares. The Corporation shall be authorized to issue four million (4,000,000) shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”).

Section 2. Stated Value. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of one-ten thousandth ($0.0001) of one cent (the “Stated Value”).

Section 3. Liquidation.

(a) Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, a preferential amount in cash equal to (and not more than) the Stated Value. All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be paid before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to the holders of (i) any other class or series of capital stock whose terms expressly provide that the holders of Series D Preferred Stock should receive preferential payment with respect to such distribution (to the extent of such preference) and (ii) the Corporation’s Common Stock. If upon any such distribution the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock (or the holders of any class or series of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series D Preferred Stock as to distributions in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation) the full amounts to which they shall be entitled, such holders shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable thereon were paid in full.
 
(b) Any distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall be made in cash to the extent possible. Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
 
 
1

 

 
Section 4. Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Series D Preferred Stock owned at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock on all matters and shall not vote as a separate class.

Section 5. Conversion.

(a) Conversion Right. Each holder of Series D Preferred Stock may, from time to time, convert any or all of such holder’s shares of Series D Preferred Stock into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to five shares of Common Stock for each one share of Series D Preferred Stock surrendered.

(b) Conversion Procedure. In order to exercise the conversion privilege under Section 5, the holder of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal office that such holder elects to convert such shares of Series D Preferred Stock or a specified portion thereof into shares of Common Stock as set forth in such notice. At such time as the certificate or certificates representing the Series D Preferred Stock which has been converted are surrendered to the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock determined pursuant to Section 5. In case of conversion under Section 5 of only a part of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered to the Corporation, the Corporation shall issue and deliver a new certificate for the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock which have not been converted. Until such time as the certificate or certificates representing Series D Preferred Stock which has been converted are surrendered to the Corporation and a certificate or certificates representing the Common Stock into which such Series D Preferred Stock has been converted have been issued and delivered, the certificate or certificates representing the Series D Preferred Stock which have been converted shall represent the shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been converted. The Corporation shall pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock.

     (c) Maximum Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to convert shares of Series D Preferred Stock if upon such conversion the number of shares of Common Stock to be received, together with the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates on the conversion date, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation on such conversion date.  For the purposes of the provision to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  The holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 6(c) will limit any conversion hereunder and to the extent that the holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock that are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the holder.    

Section 6. Other Provisions.

(a) Reservation of Common Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve from its authorized Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for conversion of all Series D Preferred Stock from time to time outstanding.

(b) Record Holders. The Corporation and its transfer agent, if any, for the Series D Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any shares of Series D Preferred Stock as reflected on the books and records of the Corporation as the sole true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor any such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
 
2

 

 
Section 7. Restriction and Limitations. Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law so long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, take any action which would adversely and materially affect any of the preferences, limitations or relative rights of the Series D Preferred Stock, including without limitation:
 
(A) Reduce the amount payable to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or change the relative seniority of the liquidation preferences of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock to the rights upon liquidation of the holders of any other capital stock in the Corporation; or

(B) Cancel or modify adversely and materially the voting rights as provided in Section 4 herein.

Section 8. Certain Adjustments.

(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to the Series D Preferred Stock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporations, each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall receive such consideration as if such number of shares of Series D Preferred if it had been, immediately prior to such foregoing dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, the holder of one share of Common Stock. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
 
(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series D Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have the right to receive, for each Share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock.

7.1.          Conversion of the Preferred Stock.

(a)           Upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.  The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the legend set forth in Section 4(h).  If and when Subscriber sells the Conversion Shares, assuming (i) a registration statement including such Conversion Shares for registration, filed with the Commission is effective and the prospectus, as supplemented or amended, contained therein is current and (ii) Subscriber or its agent confirms in writing to the transfer agent that Subscriber has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, the Company will reissue the Conversion Shares without restrictive legend and the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable.  In the event that the Conversion Shares are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration, the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend indefinitely, if pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act, or for 90 days if pursuant to the other provisions of Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, provided that Subscriber delivers all reasonably requested representations in support of such opinion.

(b)           Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Preferred Stock, or part thereof by telecopying, or otherwise delivering a completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as Exhibit A to the Certificate of Designation) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or otherwise pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement.  Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof by 6 PM Eastern Time (“ET”) (or if received by the Company after 6 PM ET, then the next business day) shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.”  The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock to Subscriber via express courier for receipt by Subscriber within three (3) business days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the "Delivery Date").  In the event the Conversion Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of the Conversion Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber.   A certificate representing the balance of the Preferred Stock not so converted will be provided by the Company to Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided Subscriber delivers the original certificate representing the Preferred Stock to the Company.
 
8.           Intentionally Omitted.

9.           Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants and agrees with the Subscribers as follows:

(a)           Stop Orders.  Subject to any  prior notice requirements described elsewhere herein, the Company will advise the Subscriber, within twenty-four hours after it receives notice of issuance by the Commission, any state securities commission or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending any offering of any securities of the Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose.  The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale, resale or delivery of any of the Securities, except as may be required by any applicable federal or state securities laws and unless contemporaneous notice of such instruction is given to the Subscriber.

(b)           Market Regulations.  If required, the Company shall notify the Commission, the Principal Market and applicable state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the Subscriber and promptly provide copies thereof to the Subscriber.

(c)           Intentionally Omitted.

(d)           Reservation.   Prior to the Closing, the Company undertakes to reserve on behalf of Subscriber from its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the amount of Common Stock necessary to allow Subscriber to be able to convert the Preferred Stock (the “Required Reservation”).     If at any time the Preferred Stock is outstanding the Company has insufficient Common Stock reserved on behalf of the Subscriber in an amount less than 100% of the amount necessary for full conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock on every such date (the “Minimum Required Reservation”), the Company will promptly reserve the Minimum Required Reservation, or if there are insufficient authorized and available shares of Common Stock to do so, the Company will take all action necessary to increase its authorized capital to be able to fully satisfy its reservation requirements hereunder.  The Company agrees to provide notice to the Subscriber not later than three days after the date the Company has less than the Minimum Required Reservation reserved on behalf of the Subscriber.

(e)           Intentionally Omitted.

(f)           Taxes.  As long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as security therefore.

(g)           Intentionally Omitted.

(j)           Books and Records.  As long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company will keep true records and books of account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions in relation to its business and affairs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

(k)           Governmental Authorities.   As long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall duly observe and conform in all material respects to all valid requirements of governmental authorities relating to the conduct of its business or to its properties or assets.

(l)           Confidentiality.  The Parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed to or with any person whomsoever, with the exception only of disclosure required by court order, and disclosure to the Parties’ respective attorneys, tax consultant(s) or accountant(s), and/or the duly designated taxing authorities of the government of the United States of America and/or the government of any state to which either of the Parties may owe any taxes.

10.           Intentionally Omitted.
