of any such series. The board of directors is also authorized· to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges,
and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series
of Preferred Stock and, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the board of directors originally
fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series
then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. The Corporation has established
pursuant to these Articles of Incorporation, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and
Series Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions

with the Common Stock and all other shares of stock of the Corporation having general voting power. The holder of each share of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such
share of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted at the record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to vote
on such matters, or, if no record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or the effective date of any written consent
Fractional votes of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not, however, be permitted and fractional voting rights shall
be (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each Holder could be converted) rounded
to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward). Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice
of any stockholders meetings in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation, as if such Holders owned shares of Common Stock.
Unless the consent or
approval of a greater number of shares shall then be required by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of more than 50% of
the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be necessary to (1) authorize, adopt or approve any amendment to
the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws that would increase or decrease the par value of the shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock, alter or change the powers, preferences or rights of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or alter or change the powers,

be senior to or pari passu with Series A Preferred Stock, or (2) amend, alter or repeal the Articles of Incorporation, or the
Bylaws so as to affect the shares of Series A Preferred Stock adversely.
4. Dividends.
In the event of any dividends on the Common Stock, Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share in any dividends
with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Except as set forth in this Section 4, the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock
shall not be entitled to dividends thereon.
5. Registration of
Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall register shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, upon records to be maintained
by the Corporation for that purpose (the "Series A Preferred Stock Register"), in the name of the record Holders thereof
from time to time. The Corporation may deem and treat the registered Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as the absolute
owner thereof for the purpose of any conversion hereof or any· distribution to such Holder, and for all other purposes,
absent actual notice to the contrary.
6. Registration of
Transfers. The Corporation shall register the transfer of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the Series A Preferred
Stock Register, upon surrender of certificates evidencing such Shares to the Corporation at its address specified herein. Upon
any such registration or transfer, a new certificate evidencing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so transferred shall be
issued to the transferee and a new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the shares not so transferred, if any, shall
be issued to the transferring Holder.
7. Liquidation.
(a) In the event of
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation Event”),
the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share in any distributions with the Common Stock on an as-converted
basis.
(b) The Corporation
shall provide written notice of any Liquidation Event to each record Holder not less than 30 days prior to the payment date or
effective date thereof. provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such
notice being provided to the Holders.
8. Conversion.
At the option of any Holder, and subject to the availability of a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock, any
Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder may be converted into Common Stock based on the Conversion Price then in effect for
such Series A Preferred Stock. A Holder may convert Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph at any
time and from time to time after the Original Issue Date, by delivering to the Corporation a Conversion Notice, and the date any
such Conversion Notice is delivered to the Corporation (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is a “Conversion
Date.”
9. Mechanics of Conversion.
(a) The number of shares
of Common Stock ("Underlying Shares") issuable upon any conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock hereunder
shall equal (i) the Stated Value of such share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price on
the Conversion Date, plus (ii) the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock through
the Conversion Date, divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date.
(b) Upon conversion
of any share of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall promptly issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered
to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate a certificate for the Underlying
Shares issuable upon such conversion. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Underlying Shares, shall
be deemed to have become holder of record of such Underlying Shares as of the Conversion Date.
(c) A Holder shall not
be required to deliver the original certificate(s) evidencing the Series A Preferred Stock being converted in order to effect
a conversion of such Series A Preferred Stock. Execution and delivery of the Conversion Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation
of the original certificate(s) and issuance of a new certificate evidencing the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
Upon surrender of a certificate following one or more partial conversions, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to the Holder
a new certificate representing the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
10. Charges, Taxes
and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock and for Underlying Shares issued on conversion
of (or otherwise in respect of) the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holders for any issue or transfer
tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all
of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Corporation; provided , however , that the Corporation shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Common Stock
or Series A Preferred Stock in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability
that may arise as a result of holding or tranferring the Series A Preferred Stock or receiving Underlying Shares in respect of
the Series A Preferred Stock.
11. Replacement Certificates.
If any certificate evidencing Series A Preferred Stock or Underlying Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation
shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution
for such certificate, a new certificate, but only upon receipt evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of such loss,
theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a new certificate under such circumstances
shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the
Corporation may prescribe.
12. Reservation of
Underlying Shares. The Corporation covenants that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to at all times reserve
and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose
of enabling it to issue Underlying Shares as required hereunder, the number of Underlying Shares which are then issuable and deliverable
upon the conversion of (and otherwise in respect of) all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (taking into account the adjustments
of Section 13), free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder. The Corporation
covenants that all Underlying Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be
duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
13. Certain Adjustments.
The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 13.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (1) pays a stock dividend
on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock
(other than regular dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case
the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be .the number of shares of. Common Stock
outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment
pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision
or combination.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions.
If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i)
evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than, a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph),
(iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed
Property” ), then in each such case upon any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock that occurs after such record date,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Underlying Shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion, the Distributed
Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Underlying Shares had the Holder been
the record holder of such Underlying Shares immediately prior to such record date.
(c) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation
of the Corporation with or into another Person, (ii) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets
in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) 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 (iv) 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 (other than as a result
of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 13(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then upon any subsequent conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, each Holder shall have the right to receive,
for each Underlying Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion absent 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 a Fundamental
Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the· holder of one share of Common Stock
(the "Alternate Consideration"). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall
be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in
respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall apportion the Conversion Price
among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting- the relative value of any different components of Alternate
Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental
Transaction, then each Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion
of Series A Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions,
any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new series of
preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders' right to convert such preferred stock into
Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms
requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (c) and insuring that the Series
A Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to Fundamental
Transaction.
(d) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 13 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of
the Corporation, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
(e) Notice of Adjustments.
Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 13, the Corporation at its expense will promptly compute such
adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare a certificate describing in reasonable detail such adjustment and the
transactions- giving rise thereto, including all facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Corporation
will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to each Holder and to the Corporation's Transfer Agent.
(f) Notice of Corporate
Events. If the Corporation (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect
of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital
stock of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder
approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Corporation, then the Corporation shall deliver to each Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of
such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold
Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Corporation will take all steps reasonably
necessary in order to insure that each Holder is given the practical opportunity to convert its Series A Preferred Stock prior
to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver
such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
14. Fractional Shares.
The Corporation shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Underlying Shares on conversion of Series A Preferred
Stock. If any fraction of an Underlying Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon conversion of
Series A Preferred Stock, the number of Underlying Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No provision of
related to the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in this Article III, Section A may be amended, except in a written instrument
signed by the Company and Holders of at least 60% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.
(b) The Series A Preferred
Stock is (i) senior to all equity interests in the Company outstanding as of the Closing Date in right of payment, whether with
respect to dividends or upon liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise and (ii) will be senior to all other equity or equity equivalent
securities issued by the Corporation after the date hereof.
(c) Any of the rights
of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock set forth herein, for the Holders' benefit, may be waived by the affirmative vote of
Holders of at least 60% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. No waiver of any default with respect to any
provision, condition or requirement herein shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent
default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to
exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
B. Series B Preferred
Stock.
1. Number of Shares
and Designation. This series of Preferred Stock shall be designated as Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share,
and the number of shares that shall constitute such series shall be 1,500, with each shares of Series B Preferred Stock having

by the shareholders of the Corporation. At all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation and in the case of any actions
of shareholders in lieu of a meeting, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes on such
matters equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder at the record date
for the determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date
