holding period for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of the

the opinion provided to it by Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC
contemporaneous with consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, that
the holding period for the Series A-2 Shares issued to each Stockholder in
exchange for such Stockholder’s Transferred Shares will include the holding
period for such Transferred Shares, and that the Company may issue such Series
A-2 Shares without restrictive legend. Based on such reliance, the Company will

provides a written representation at the time of such conversion that it is not
an affiliate of the Company and has not been an affiliate within the preceding
three month period, as well as other representations customarily given in
connection with the removal of restrictive legends under Rule 144(k), the
Company will rely on the opinion provided to it by Eckert Seamans Cherin &
Mellott, LLC contemporaneous with consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby that no restrictive legend would be required on shares of the Company’s
Common Stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), issued upon conversion of those
Series A-2 Shares previously issued to the Stockholders in exchange for their
shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF THE SERIES A-2 PREFERRED STOCK
(PAR VALUE $0.01 PER SHARE)
 
OF
 
ADVANCED COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
The undersigned, a duly authorized officer of Advanced Communications
Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), in accordance with
the provisions of Section 607.0602 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, does
hereby certify that the following resolution was duly adopted by the Board of
Directors by unanimous written consent pursuant to Section 607.0821 of the
Florida Business Corporation Act on August 16, 2007:
 
RESOLVED, that the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the
Company to provide for the designation and issuance of Series A-2 Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value of $0.01 per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred
Stock”), to consist of up to 8,413 shares, and hereby fixes the powers,
designations, preferences and relative other special rights of the shares of
such Series A-2 Preferred Stock as follows:
 
SECTION 1
DESIGNATION AND RANK
 
1.1  Designation. This resolution shall provide for a series of preferred stock,
the designation of which shall be “Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock”, par
value $0.01 per share. The number of authorized shares constituting the Series
A-2 Preferred Stock is 8,413.
 
1.2  Rank. With respect to the distribution of the assets of the Company upon
Liquidation (as defined below), the Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be (i)
junior and subordinate to the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock,
par value $0.01 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) and
to any other series of preferred stock designated by the Board of Directors
after the date hereof as senior to the Series A-2 Preferred Stock(collectively,
the “Senior Stock”), and (ii) pari passu with the common stock of the Company,
par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 2
DIVIDEND RIGHTS
 
2.1  So long as any shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock remain outstanding, no
dividend or distribution whatsoever (other than distributions in connection with
a Liquidation as set forth below) shall be paid or declared in respect of the
Common Stock unless and until each of the then outstanding shares of Series A-2
Preferred Stock has been paid aggregate dividends equal to $1.00 per share. In
the event that the Company thereafter pays or declares any dividend on the
Common Stock, then the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive, on a pari passu basis with the holders of Common Stock, dividends as
if such holders’ Series A-2 Preferred Stock were converted into to Common Stock
at the Series A-2 Conversion Rate (as defined below) immediately prior to the
declaration of such dividend (assuming for these purposes that the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock had been increased to an amount sufficient for
the conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock).
 
SECTION 3  
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
 
3.1  Liquidation Preference.
 
(a)  Upon any Liquidation (as defined below), subject to the rights of the
Senior Stock, the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive out of the assets of the Company, whether such assets are capital,
surplus or earnings, on a pari passu basis with the holders of Common Stock, an
amount per share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock equal to the Assumed Conversion
Amount. Thereafter, no further distributions shall be made to the holders of
Series A-2 Preferred Stock in respect of such shares.
 
(b)  For purposes hereof:
 
(i)  “Liquidation” means (A) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, (B) a consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into any other person(s), entity or entities in which less than
a majority of the outstanding voting power of the surviving person(s), entity or
entities is held by persons or entities who were stockholders of the Company
prior to such event or (C) a sale or other disposition (whether in a single
transaction or a series of related transactions) of substantially all of the
assets of the Company.
 
(ii)  “Assumed Conversion Amount” means the total amount of proceeds that would
be payable to the holder of a share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock on a
Liquidation if immediately prior to such Liquidation each outstanding share of
Series A-2 Preferred Stock were converted into a number of shares of Common
Stock at the then current Series A-2 Conversion Rate (assuming for these
purposes that the number of authorized shares of Common Stock has been increased
to an amount sufficient for the conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock).
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 4
CONVERSION
 
4.1  Charter Amendment. Promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall
use all reasonable commercial efforts to cause the Articles of Incorporation of
the Company (the “Charter Amendment”) to be amended in order to increase the
authorized number of shares of Common Stock to an amount reasonably sufficient
for the conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Series
A-2 Conversion Rate (as defined below), including the recommendation and
submission of a proposal to the stockholders of the Company for the approval of
such amendment.
 
4.2  Automatic Conversion. Immediately upon the approval of the Charter
Amendment and the effective filing thereof with the Florida Department of State,
each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into
1,000,000 shares of Common (the “Series A-2 Conversion Rate”) without any
further action on the part of the Company or the holder thereof.
 
4.3  General.
 
(a)  Adjustments. The Series A-2 Conversion Rate as described in Section 4.2
above shall be adjusted from time to time in the event of any stock split
involving the Common Stock, reclassification of the Common Stock or
recapitalization involving Common Stock. The holders of the Series A-2 Preferred
Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive, and (if applicable) provision
shall be made therefor in any agreement or other instrument relating to such
stock split, reclassification or recapitalization, upon conversion of the Series
A-2 Preferred Stock, the kind and number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities or property (including cash) to which such holders of Series A-2
Preferred Stock would have been entitled if they had held the number of shares
of Common Stock into which the Series A-2 Preferred Stock was convertible
immediately prior to such reclassification or recapitalization; and in any such
case appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions
herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the
holders of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set
forth herein shall thereafter be applicable, in the reasonable discretion of the
Board, in relation to any shares, other securities, or property thereafter
receivable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock. An adjustment made
pursuant to this subparagraph shall become effective at the time at which such
stock split, reclassification or recapitalization becomes effective.
 
(b)  Procedures for Conversion. The holder of any shares of Series A-2 Preferred
Stock shall, upon any conversion of such Series A-2 Preferred Stock in
accordance with this Section 4, surrender certificates representing the Series
A-2 Preferred Stock to the Company, at its principal office, and specify the
name or names in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock to be issued. In case such holder shall specify a name or
names other than that of such holder, such notice shall be accompanied by
payment of all transfer taxes (if transfer is to a person or entity other than
the holder thereof) payable upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in such
name or names. As promptly as practicable, and, if applicable, after payment of
all transfer taxes (if transfer is to a person or entity other than the holder
thereof), the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered certificates
representing the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock to which the holder of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock so
converted shall be entitled. Upon the automatic conversion of shares of Series
A-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4.2 above, such shares shall cease to
constitute shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and shall represent only a right
to receive shares of Common Stock into which they have been converted.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 5
VOTING RIGHTS
 
5.1  Series A-2 Voting Rights. The holder of each share of Series A-2 Preferred
Stock will be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders of
the Company. Each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock will entitle the holder
thereof to such number of votes per share equal to the Series A-2 Conversion
Rate as of the record date of such vote (determined assuming that the Charter
Amendment has been duly approved and effectively filed). Except as otherwise
provided herein or as required by applicable law, the holders of shares of
Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote together with the
holders of Common Stock and other shares of the Company's common and preferred
stock that, by their terms, vote with the Common Stock, as a single class, and
not by separate class or series, on all matters submitted to a vote or consent
of shareholders. The Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote as a
separate class except as required by, and cannot be waived under, the Florida
Business Corporation Act.
 
SECTION 6
MISCELLANEOUS
 
6.1  Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various Sections hereof are
for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any
of the provisions hereof.
 
6.2  Severability of Provisions. If any right, preference or limitation of the
Series A-2 Preferred Stock set forth herein (as this resolution may be amended
from time to time) is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason
of any rule of law or public policy, all other rights, preferences and
limitations set forth in this resolution (as so amended), which can be given
effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or
limitation shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no right,
preference or limitation herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any
other such right, preference or limitation unless so expressed herein.
