stockholders, each such holder being entitled to one vote for each
share thereof held by such holder; provided, however, that, except
as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be

Incorporation (which, as used herein, shall mean the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended from time to time,
including the terms of any certificate of designations of any

series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the
resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter
provided. Any shares of Preferred Stock which may be

decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of

INC.
Pursuant to Section
151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the
undersigned corporation submits the following statement for the
purpose of establishing and designating a series of shares and
fixing and determining the relative rights and preferences
thereof:
1. The
name of the Corporation is PAID, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Corporation”).
2. The
Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board of
Directors”) duly adopted the following resolution at a
meeting of the Board of Directors held on December 19,
2016:
WHEREAS, the
Corporation’s directors have reviewed and approved the
Certificate of Designations (“Certificate of
Designations”), attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, delineating the number of shares, the voting powers,
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional,
redemption, conversion, exchange, dividend or other special rights
and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of a series of
Preferred Stock to be issued by the Corporation and designated
Series A Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the
President or any Vice President of the Corporation, individually or
collectively, be, and such officers hereby are, authorized and
directed to execute, acknowledge, attest, record and file with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of
Designation in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law
and to take all other actions that such officers deem necessary to
effectuate this Certificate of Designations.
A.
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
5,000,000 shares of
the authorized Preferred Stock of the corporation have been
designated “Series A Preferred Stock”, each with the
following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions,
qualifications and limitations.
Section
1. Coupon
Payment.
(a)
Rate. Holders of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
a cumulative 1.5% per annum coupon payment on the value of $0.45
per share of Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of cash,
in the Board of Director’s discretion, payment shall be in
equal value in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock based
on the same fair market value of one share of common stock of the
corporation as of the prior 30-day closing average for the month
immediately preceding the Coupon Payment Date as set forth on an
listed exchange, or if not so listed, on any applicable exchange
selected in the discretion of the Board of Directors.
(b)
Payout.
Payments shall accrue annually as of January 1 of each
year (the “Coupon Payment Date”) and shall remain
unpaid unless and until the Board of Directors determines in its
sole discretion to make such payment. Rights to unpaid
Coupon payments shall be held by the holder of the Series A
Preferred Stock. The period from and including the
initial issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock, or the
immediately preceding Coupon Payment Date, as the case may be, to
but excluding the next Coupon Payment Date is a “Coupon
Period.” Coupons accrue in each Coupon Period from
the first day of such Coupon Period, whether or not Coupons are
paid with respect to any prior Coupon Period. Coupons
payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for any Coupon
Period will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months, and Coupons payable on the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock for any subsequent Coupon Period will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the number of days
actually elapse.
(c)
No Interest;
Notice. No interest will be payable in respect of any Coupon
payment on shares of Series A Preferred Stock that may be in
arrears. If the Board of Directors of the corporation determines
not to pay any Coupon or a full Coupon on a Coupon Payment Date,
the corporation will provide, or cause to be provided, written
notice to the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
prior to such date.
Section
2. Liquidation,
Dissolution, or Winding-Up.
(a)
Distributions to Holders
of Preferred Stock. In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the
holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be
entitled to be paid out of the assets of the corporation available
for distribution to shareholders, before any payment is made to or
set aside for the holders of shares of any other class or series of
capital stock, as follows: in respect of each share of Series A
Preferred Stock held by such holder, an amount per share equal to
the sum of (A) $3.30 (such amount to be subject to proportionate
adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification or other similar event affecting the Series A
Preferred Stock plus (B) an amount equal to the
aggregate of all Coupon accrued but unpaid in respect of such share
of Series A Preferred Stock.
After
payment in accordance with the foregoing has been made in full to
the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, or funds necessary for
such payment have been set aside by the corporation in trust for
the exclusive benefit of such holders so as to be available for
such payment, any assets remaining available for distribution will
be distributed ratably among the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, with each holder of
one or more shares of Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to
receive in respect thereof the same kinds and amounts of such
assets as such holder would be entitled to receive if such holder
held the number of shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one
basis.
(b)
Deemed
Liquidations. A consolidation or merger of the
corporation with or into any other person(s) or entity(-ies) (other
than a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporation) or a sale
(whether in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the
corporation or all or substantially all of the intellectual
property rights of the corporation, or other similar transaction,
will be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of
the affairs of the corporation within the meaning of this Section
2.
(c)
Non-Cash
Distributions. In the event of a liquidation,
dissolution, or winding-up of the corporation resulting in the
availability of assets other than cash for distribution to the
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a distribution of cash
and/or other assets equal in value to the liquidation preference
and other distribution rights stated in Section 2(a). In
the event that such distribution to the holders of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock will include any assets other than cash, the
Board of Directors will first determine in good faith and with due
care the value of such assets for such purpose, and will notify all
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such
determination. The value of such assets for purposes of
the distribution under this Section 2(c) will be the value as so
determined by the Board of Directors.
Section
3. Voting
Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein or as required by applicable law, the holders of each share
of Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote on any
matters submitted to a vote or consent of
stockholders.
Section
4. Conversion. Shares
of Series A Preferred Stock will not be convertible into shares of
Common Stock and/or other securities, properties, or
rights.
Section
5. Reissuance of Shares of
Preferred Stock. Shares of Series A Preferred
Stock acquired by the corporation by reason of redemption, purchase
or otherwise acquired (other than conversion), at the discretion of
the Board of Directors, may be reissued by the Board of Directors
at any time or from time to time.
Section
6. Notices of Capital
Reorganization, etc. In the event there is to
occur any capital reorganization of the corporation, any
reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the
corporation, any merger or consolidation of the corporation, or any
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
corporation to any other company, or any other entity or person, or
any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or
winding-up of the corporation, the corporation will deliver to each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock, in accordance with Section
8(a), prior to the proposed effective date of the transaction
specified therein, a notice specifying (a) the date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is expected to
become effective, and (b) the time, if any, that is to be fixed, as
to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities)
will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) for cash, securities, and/or other property deliverable
upon such reorganization, reclassification, transfer,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or
winding-up.
Section
7. Other
Rights. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will
have only those rights set forth herein or as required by the
Delaware General corporation Law.
Section
8. Miscellaneous.

corporation may appoint, and from time to time discharge and
