CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES
AND RIGHTS OF

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK OF

MPHASE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 

mPhase Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation”),
a corporation organized and existing under the laws of New Jersey does hereby certify that, pursuant to authority conferred upon
the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, and
the Board of the Corporation, has adopted resolutions (a) authorizing the designation and issuance of one thousand (1,000) shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and (b) providing for the designations, preferences and relative participating, options or other rights,
and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as follows:

 

	 	1.	Designation of Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall be authorized to issue one thousand (1,000) shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).

 

	 	2.	Liquidation.

 

a. Upon the liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive, for each share thereof, out of the assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, a
preferential amount in cash equal to the Stated Value (as defined herein). All preferential amounts to be paid to the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock in connection with such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be paid before the payment or setting
apart for, payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any asset of the Corporation to the holders of (i) any other class
or series of capital stock whose terms expressly provide that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock should receive preferential
payment with respect to such distribution and (ii) the Corporation’s common stock. If, upon any such distribution, assets
of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or the holders
of any class or series of capital stock ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to distributions in the event of
a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation) the full amounts to which they shall be entitled, such holders shall
share ratably in any distribution of assets in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all such
sums payable were paid in full. Stated Value means $.001 per share.

 

b. Any distribution
in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall
be made in cash to the extent possible. Whenever any such distribution shall be paid in property other than cash, the value of
such distribution shall be the fair market value of such property as determined in the good faith by the Board.

 

	 	3.	Ranking. Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to the Corporation’s (A) common stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created, except as otherwise provided in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3, (ii) pari passu with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created and specifically ranking, by its terms, on par with the Series A Preferred Stock and (iii) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking, by its terms, senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

 

    	 		 

     

    

 

	 	4.	Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Corporation. The holders of the one thousand (1,000) shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have that number of votes (identical in every other respect to the voting rights of the holders of common stock entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of stockholders) equal to such number of shares of common stock which is not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the vote required to approve any action, which New Jersey law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the holders of common stock or the holders of other securities entitled to vote, if any. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of common stock on all matters and shall note vote as a separate class. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the same notice of any regular or special meeting of the stockholders as may or shall be given to holders of common stock entitled to vote at such meetings. No corporate actions requiring majority stockholder approval or consent may be submitted to a vote of common stock holders which in any way precludes the holders of Series A Preferred Stock from exercising their voting or consent rights as though they are or were a common stock holder. For purposes of determining a quorum for any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, the one thousand (1,000) shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be included and shall be deemed as the equivalent of fifty-one percent (51%) of all shares of common stock represented at and entitled to vote at such meetings.

 

	 	5.	Conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into any other class of stock.

 

	 	6.	Dividends. Except as otherwise required by law, no dividend shall be declared or paid on the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

	 	7.	Protective Provisions. In addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders (as defined herein), voting together as a single class, the Corporation shall not:

 

a. alter or change
adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation;

 

b. amend its
Certificate of Incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Series
A Preferred Stock;

 

c. consummate
a Fundamental Transaction (as defined herein);

e. create or
authorize (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares that has a preference over or is on a parity with
the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation;

 

f. purchase,
repurchase or redeem any shares of capital stock of the Corporation junior in rank to the Series A Preferred Stock (other than
pursuant to equity incentive agreements (that have in good faith been approved by the Board) with employees giving the Corporation
the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of services; or

 

g. enter into
any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein. “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.

	 	b.	Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or a holder of Series A Preferred Stock of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other holder of Series A Preferred Stock. The failure of the Corporation or a holder of Series A Preferred Stock to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other holder of Series A Preferred Stock) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Corporation or a holder of Series A Preferred Stock must be in writing.

 

	 	c.	Severability.
