        that the  corporation  is  authorized  to  issue  is Two  Hundred
        Million (200,000,000) shares, each with a par value of $0.001 per

        Preferred Stock.

                  (B) RIGHTS,  PREFERENCES AND  RESTRICTIONS OF PREFERRED
        STOCK.  The  Preferred  Stock  authorized  by these  Articles  of
        Incorporation  may be  issued  from  time  to time in one or more
        series.  The Board of  Directors  of this  Corporation  is hereby
        authorized, within the limitations and restrictions prescribed by
        law or stated in these Articles of Incorporation, and by filing a
        certificate pursuant to applicable law of the State of Nevada, to
        provide for the issuance of Preferred  Stock in series and (i) to
        establish  from time to time the number of shares to be  included
        in each such series; (ii) to fix the voting powers, designations,
        powers,  preferences  and  relative,  participating,  optional or
        other  rights  of  the  shares  of  each  such  series;  and  the
        qualifications,  limitations or restrictions  thereof,  including

        of Preferred  Stock; and (iii) to increase or decrease the number
        of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that
        series,  but not below the number of shares of such  series  then
        outstanding.  In case the number of shares of any series shall be
        so

        decreased,  the shares constituting  such  decrease  shall resume
        the  status,  which  they  had  prior  to  the  adoption  of  the
        resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

                  (C) RIGHTS OF COMMON STOCK. The Common Stock authorized
        by these Articles of Incorporation shall be equal in all respects
        to every other share of the common stock of the corporation.

        IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  this  Certificate  of  Amendment  of  Articles  of
Incorporation  of IVP Technology  Corporation has been executed this 14th day of
December, 2001.
