Section 2.Common Stock.




(a)Dividend Rate. Subject to the rights of holders of any Preferred Stock having preference as to dividends and except as otherwise provided by these Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (hereinafter, the "Articles") or the Nevada Revised Statues (hereinafter, the “NRS”), the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of assets legally available therefor.

(d)No Conversion, Redemption, or Preemptive Rights. The holders of Common Stock shall not have any conversion, redemption, or preemptive rights.




(e)Consideration for Shares. The Common Stock authorized by this Article shall be issued for such consideration as shall be fixed, from time to time, by the board of directors.




Section 3.Preferred Stock.




(a)Designation. The board of directors is hereby vested with the authority from time to time to provide by resolution for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series not exceeding the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized by these Articles, and to prescribe with respect to each such series the voting powers, if any, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions relating thereto, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: the voting rights relating to the shares of Preferred Stock of any series (which voting rights, if any, may be full or limited, may vary over time, and may be applicable generally or only upon any stated fact or event); the rate of dividends (which may be cumulative or noncumulative), the condition or time for payment of dividends and the preference or relation of such dividends to dividends payable on any other class or series of capital stock; the rights of holders of Preferred Stock of any series in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation; the rights, if any, of holders of Preferred Stock of any series to convert or exchange such shares of Preferred Stock of such series for shares of any other class or series of capital stock or for any other securities, property, or assets of the Corporation or any subsidiary (including the determination of the price or prices or the rate or rates applicable to such rights to convert or exchange and the adjustment thereof, the time or times during which the right to convert or exchange shall be applicable, and the time or times during which a particular price or rate shall be applicable); whether the shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to redemption by the Corporation and if subject to redemption, the times, prices, rates, adjustments and other terms and conditions of such redemption. The powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights may be made dependent upon any fact or event which may be ascertained outside the Articles or the resolution if the manner in which the fact or event may operate on such series is stated in the Articles or resolution. As used in this section "fact or event" includes, without limitation, the existence of a fact or occurrence of an event, including, without limitation, a determination or action by a person, government, governmental agency or political subdivision of a government. The board of directors is further authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of such shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series. Unless the board of directors provides to the contrary in the resolution which fixes the characteristics of a series of Preferred Stock, neither the consent by series, or otherwise, of the holders of any outstanding Preferred Stock nor the consent of the holders of any outstanding Common Stock shall be required for the issuance of any new series of Preferred Stock regardless of whether the rights and preferences of the new series of Preferred Stock are senior or superior, in any way, to the outstanding series of Preferred Stock or the Common Stock.




(b)Certificate. Before the Corporation shall issue any shares of Preferred Stock of any series, a certificate of designation setting forth a copy of the resolution or resolutions of the board of directors, and establishing the voting powers, designations, preferences, the relative, participating, optional, or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions, if any, relating to the shares of Preferred Stock of such series, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock of such series authorized by the board of directors to be issued shall be made and signed by an officer of the corporation and filed in the manner prescribed by the NRS.











Section 4.Non-Assessment of Stock. The capital stock of the Corporation, after the amount of the subscription price has been fully paid, shall not be assessable for any purpose, and no stock issued as fully paid shall ever be assessable or assessed, and the Articles shall not be amended in this particular. No stockholder of the Corporation is individually liable for the debts or liabilities of the Corporation.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF RIGHTS,


POWERS, LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS


OF SERIES A NONVOTING CAPITAL STOCK


OF LIGHTNING GAMING, INC.





Lightning Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), certifies that pursuant to Article III of its Articles of Incorporation, and in accordance with Sections 78.195 and 78.1955 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) at a meeting duly called and held on December 14, 2009, at which a quorum was present and acting throughout, has duly adopted the following resolutions:




RESOLVED:  Pursuant to the authority vested in the Board by Article III of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Corporation, to be designated “Series A Nonvoting Capital Stock” (“Nonvoting Stock”) is hereby created and shall consist of 6,000,000 shares, of which the rights, powers, limitations and restrictions are as set forth below, and shall be so designated in a Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate”) to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Nevada Secretary”).




RESOLVED:  Each share of Nonvoting Stock shall have identical rights, powers, limitations and restrictions in all respects as each share of the class of capital stock of the Corporation designated as “Common Stock,” par value of $.001 per share, including the right to receive the same consideration per share payable in respect of each share of Common Stock in the event of a merger, statutory exchange, conversion, consolidation, liquidation or similar transaction in which the Corporation is a constituent entity, except that unless otherwise mandated by applicable law, holders of Nonvoting Stock shall have no voting rights or powers whatsoever and shall not vote on or otherwise participate in any proceedings in which actions are taken by the Corporation or its stockholders, nor shall holders of Nonvoting Stock be entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (without limiting any rights or powers they may have in any capacity other than as holders of Nonvoting Stock).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Nonvoting Stock shall carry no voting rights or powers with respect to (i) amendments of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation that would adversely alter or change any preference or any relative or other right or power given to the Nonvoting Stock; (ii) amendments of the Certificate that would change the number of authorized shares of Nonvoting Stock (other than a reduction in such number below the number of shares of Nonvoting Stock then issued and outstanding in a transaction that is not authorized under NRS Section 78.207 or any successor statute); or (iii) any plan of merger, statutory exchange, conversion, consolidation, dissolution and liquidation, or similar transaction in which the Corporation is a constituent entity (provided, however, that in any of the foregoing transactions, the same consideration per share shall be payable in respect of all shares of Common Stock and Nonvoting Stock).  Holders of Common Stock will, to the exclusion of holders of Nonvoting Stock, have full voting rights and powers for all purposes under Nevada law, unless mandated to the contrary by applicable law.









RESOLVED:  The number of authorized shares of Nonvoting Stock may be changed, through the filing of an amendment of the Certificate with the Nevada Secretary, by action of the Board without the approval of the holders of Common Stock; provided, however, that without the approval of holders of Common Stock, no such change shall reduce the number of authorized shares of Nonvoting Stock below the number of such shares then outstanding or increase the number of authorized shares of Nonvoting Stock above the aggregate number of authorized shares of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), that have not been allocated to any other series of Preferred Stock, unless NRS Section 78.207 (or any successor statute) permits such change without the approval of stockholders.




RESOLVED:  Subject to any further necessary Board approval, the officers of the Corporation are authorized and empowered to make any changes they deem necessary or appropriate in the Certificate and then to execute and file the Certificate with the Nevada Secretary.




IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officer has executed this Certificate of Designation as of this 19th day of February 2010.
