Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 16-10a-1006 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, as amended, (the "Act"), the undersigned, being the duly elected and acting Secretary of SecureAlert, Inc., a Utah corporation (the "Corporation") hereby declares and certifies as follows:

1.           The name of the Corporation is SecureAlert, Inc.

2.           The shareholders of the Corporation, in a meeting duly convened on February 28, 2013, approved the following amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, as heretofore amended:

FIRST: The first paragraph of "Article III, Capital Stock," is hereby amended by substituting the following paragraph in its place:

"The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued is fifteen million (15,000,000) and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized to be issued is twenty million (20,000,000). The Common Stock and the Preferred Stock shall each have a par value of $0.0001 per share."

SECOND: Upon the filing of these Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, each share of Common Stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to these Articles of Amendment, without further action, will be automatically split and converted into 200-for-1 share of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (the “Reverse Stock Split”).  No fractional shares shall be issued upon the Reverse Stock Split; rather, each fractional share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.  Each outstanding stock certificate of the Corporation, which prior to the filing of these Articles of Amendment represented one or more shares of Common Stock, shall immediately after such filing represent that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock represented on such certificates divided by (y) Two Hundred (200) (such adjusted shares, the “Reclassified Shares”), with any resulting fractional shares, paid in cash.  Any options, warrants or other purchase rights, any conversion rights under debt instruments of the Corporation, and any conversion rights under issued and outstanding Preferred Stock of the Corporation, which prior to the filing of these Articles of Amendment represented the right to acquire one or more shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, shall immediately after such filing represent the right to acquire one-Two Hundred (1/200) of one (1) share of the Corporation’s Common Stock for each share of the Corporation’s Common Stock that such option, warrant or other purchase right previously represented the right to acquire.  The exercise price of such options, warrants and purchase rights shall be adjusted by multiplying the existing exercise price by Two Hundred (200).

The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock of the Corporation and the par value of both the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock of the Corporation are not affected by these Articles of Amendment.
