CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF
GENESIS GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.
 
Genesis Group Holdings, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (the "Corporation") does hereby certify as follows:
 
FIRST: The name of this corporation is Genesis Group Holdings, Inc.
 
SECOND: The date of filing of its original certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware was November 24, 1999 (as i - RealtyAuction.com, Inc.) and which has been amended from time to time (as amended to date, the "Certificate of Incorporation").
 
THIRD: The Board of Directors of the Corporation, acting in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, adopted resolutions to amend the Certificate of Incorporation as follows:
 
A.
Article First of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
 
"The name of this corporation is InterCloud Systems, Inc."
 
B.
Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to provide that:
 
Effective as of 12:01 am eastern time on January 1 I, 2013, a 1 for 125 reverse split of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation shall occur pursuant to which (i) each 125 shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation shall be converted into I share of Common Stock (the "Reverse Split"). The Reverse Split shall, not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Corporation or the par value per share of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, such that immediately after the Reverse Split the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue will be 550,000,000, of which 500,000,000 shall be Common Stock having a par value per share of $0.0001 and of which 50,000,000 shall be Preferred Stock having a par value per share of $0.0001. Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued as a result of the Reverse Split, but instead, the Corporation will pay each holder of a fractional interest (after aggregating all fractional interests of such holder) an amount in cash equal to the value of such remaining fractional interest upon the surrender to the Corporation's transfer agent of certificates representing such shares. The cash payment will be equal to the fraction to which the stockholder otherwise would be entitled, multiplied by the average closing sale prices of old shares (as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split) for the 20 trading days immediately before the Effective Date, as reported by the OTC-BB (or such other exchange or trading system on which the Common Stock is then traded). If such price or prices are not available, the fractional share payments will be based on the average of the last bid and ask prices of old shares for such days, in each case as officially reported by the OTC-13B (or such other exchange or trading system on which the Common Stock is then traded), or other such process as determined by the Board of Directors. The ownership of a fractional share will not give the holder thereof any voting, dividend, or other rights except to receive payment therefore described herein. Except as set forth
