RESOLVED, that that the Certificate be amended as follows:

 

Section 6(a) of the Certificate is amended by deleting the last sentence and replacing it with the following:

 

No conversion shall be permitted to the extent that it violates the Rules of the Principal Market including the issuance of more than 19.9% of a class of equity security outstanding as of any applicable Conversion Date, which for the avoidance of doubt shall take into account the issuance of the Commitment Shares under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

Section 11(j) of the Certificate is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

(j) invest in, purchase or acquire, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions, any assets or capital stock of any Person other than a Subsidiary, wherein the aggregate purchase price or other consideration payable for such assets or capital stock shall exceed $100,000 in any one transaction or $250,000, in the aggregate. Provided, however, nothing contained in this Certificate (whether in this Section 11(j) or otherwise) shall require the consent of any Holder if the Corporation merges or consolidates with or exchanges its shares of capital stock or capital stock of any Subsidiary with any Person which has a class of capital stock which is quoted on any market operated by OTC Markets or any successor or listed on any national securities exchange approved by the Commission (any, a “Transaction”) if the Transaction is treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes under GAAP and/or the Rules of the Commission;
