      SECOND:
         That,
        pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the
        Company by the Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of
        Incorporation”), and in accordance with the provisions of Section 607.0602 of
        the Florida Business Corporation Act, the Board of Directors has duly adopted
        the following resolutions by unanimous consent of all of the directors dated

      RESOLVED,
        that, pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation (which authorizes 5,000,000
        shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”)), the
        Board of Directors hereby fixes the powers, designations, preferences and
        relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the

      RESOLVED,
        that the Company is authorized to issue Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
        on
        the following terms and with the provisions herein set forth:

       

      (1).  Designation
        and Number of Shares.
        Of the
        5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized pursuant to the Third Article
        of
        the Company's Articles of Incorporation, 1,100,000 shares are hereby designated
        as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred
        Stock'').

       

      (2).  Stated
        Value.
        Each
        share of Series A Preferred stock will have stated value of $0.01 per share
        (the
“Stated Value”). 

       

      (3).  Liquidation
        Preference.
        In the
        event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either
        voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of any other Series of Preferred
        Stock that are in existence or may, from time to time, come into existence,
        the
        assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders shall be
        distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, prior to any
        amount being distributed to or among the holders of common stock, $0.001
        par
        value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), such that for each share
        of Series A Preferred Stock, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
        entitled to receive an amount equal to the Stated Value. The cash value of
        any
        remaining cash and other distributable property that is available for
        distribution to the holders of equity of the Company (after payment of the
        Stated Value to the Series A Preferred Stock and any other liquidation
        preference amount to any other class of equity securities of the Company)
        (the
“Remaining Distribution Amount”) shall be distributed among such holders as
        follows: (i) to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, for each share
        of
        Series A Preferred Stock, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
        to receive an amount equal to (a) the then applicable Conversion Rate (as
        hereinafter defined), times (b) the amount available for distribution, if
        any,
        divided by (c) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such
        holder, and (ii) to the holders of any other class of equity securities of
        the
        Company, their pro-rata portion of the balance of any Remaining Distribution
        Amount.  

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (4).  Redemption.
        The
        Series A Preferred Stock does not have any redemption rights. 

       

      (5).  Dividends.
        The
        Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to dividends unless the Company
        pays cash dividends or dividends in other property to holders of outstanding
        shares of Common Stock, in which event, each outstanding share of the Series
        A
        Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends of cash or property
        in an
        amount or value equal to the Conversion Rate multiplied by the amount paid
        in
        respect of one share of Common Stock. Any dividend payable to the Series
        A
        Preferred Stock will have the same record and payment date and terms as the
        dividend is payable on the Common Stock. 

       

      (6).  Mandatory
        Conversion.
        

       

      (a).  Conversion.
        At such
        time as the Company files an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation
        (“Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida increasing the
        authorized number of shares of Common Stock and effecting a 1 for 10 reverse
        stock split of the Common Stock so that the Company has a sufficient number
        of
        authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock so as to permit the conversion
        of
        all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Reverse Split”),
        then upon the filing and acceptance of the Amendment, whether by amendment
        or
        restatement, all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will
        immediately and automatically convert into shares of the Company's Common
        Stock
        without any notice or action required on the part of the Company or the holder
        (“Mandatory Conversion”). On a Mandatory Conversion, the holders of Series A
        Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive Common Stock at the conversion
        rate
        of 678.5 shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock for one (1)
        share
        of Series A Preferred Stock (“Conversion Rate”).

       

      (b).  Obligation.
        The
        Company agrees that it shall in good faith, promptly, take any and all such
        corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to effect
        the Reverse Split and to expeditiously effect the conversion of (i) all
        outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to shares of Common Stock,
        and (ii) permit the exercise of all options, warrants or rights to purchase
        shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of their defining
        instruments, if any, including, without limitation, use its reasonable best
        efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment
        to the Articles of Incorporation to achieve the foregoing. 

       

      
        
           

        

        
          -2-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (c).  Conversion
        Procedure.
        The
        Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to issue or cause its transfer
        agent to issue the Common Stock issuable upon a Mandatory Conversion within
        three (3) business days after the Mandatory Conversion. The Company shall
        bear
        the cost associated with the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon the
        Mandatory Conversion. The Common Stock and other securities issuable upon
        the
        Mandatory Conversion shall be issued with a restrictive legend indicating
        that
        it was issued in a transaction which is exempt from registration under the
        Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and that it cannot
        be transferred
        unless it is so registered, or an exemption from registration is available,
        in
        the opinion of counsel to the Company. The Common Stock issuable upon the
        Mandatory Conversion shall be issued in the same name as the person who is
        the
        holder of the Series A Preferred Stock unless, in the opinion of counsel
        to the
        Company, a change of name and such transfer can be made in compliance with
        applicable securities laws. The person in whose name the certificates of
        Common
        Stock are so recorded and other securities issuable upon the Mandatory
        Conversion shall be treated as a common stockholder of the Company at the
        close
        of business on the date of the Mandatory Conversion. The certificates
        representing the Series A Preferred Stock shall be cancelled, on the date
        of the
        Mandatory Conversion. 

       

      (7).  Adjustments
        to Conversion Rate and Reorganization.
        The
        Conversion Rate for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series
        A
        Preferred Stock shall be converted on a Mandatory Conversion shall be subject
        to
        adjustment from time to time as hereinafter set forth:

      

      (a)  Stock
        Dividends - Recapitalization, Reclassification, Split-Ups.
        If,
        prior to the date of Mandatory Conversion, the number of outstanding shares
        of
        Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend on the Common Stock payable
        in
        shares of Common Stock or by a split-up, recapitalization or reclassification
        of
        shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date
        thereof, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted so that the number of shares
        of
        Common Stock issuable on the Mandatory Conversion of the Series A Preferred
        Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares
        of
        Common Stock.

       

      (b)  Aggregation
        of Shares.
        If
        prior to the date of Mandatory Conversion, the number of outstanding shares
        of
        Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination or reclassification
        of
        shares of Common Stock or other similar event (including
        the Reverse Split),
        then,
        upon the effective date thereof, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
        on the Mandatory Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be decreased
        in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common
        Stock.

       

      (c)  Change
        Resulting from Reorganization or Change in Par Value, etc.
        In case
        of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common
        Stock which solely affects the par value of the shares of Common Stock, or
        in
        the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
        corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is
        the
        continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification
        or
        reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case
        of any
        sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the property of the
        Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with
        which
        the Company is dissolved, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
        have
        the right thereafter (until the Mandatory Conversion or its equivalent) to
        receive upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock the kind and
        amount
        of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable
        upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon
        a
        dissolution following any such sale or other transfer, by a holder of the
        number
        of shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible
        immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also results
        in a
        change in shares of Common Stock, then such adjustment also shall be
        made.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          -3-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (d)  Successive
        Changes.
        The
        provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive
        reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other
        transfers.

       

      (8).  Voting
        Rights.
        The
        holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled
        to the
        following voting rights: 

       

      (a)  Those
        voting rights required by applicable law and as provided in
        Section (13)
        hereof;
        and 

       

      (b)  The
        right
        to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock, as a single class,
        upon
        all matters submitted to holders of Common Stock for a vote. Each
        share of Series A Preferred Stock will carry a number of votes equal to the
        number of shares of Common Stock issuable in a Mandatory Conversion based
        on the
        then applicable Conversion Rate.

       

      (c)  Whenever
        holders of Series A Preferred Stock are required or permitted to take any
        action
        by vote, such action may be taken without a meeting on written consent, setting
        forth the action so taken and signed by the holders of the outstanding capital
        stock of the Company having not less than the minimum number of votes that
        would
        be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all such
        shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Each share of the
        Series
        A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters
        to
        be voted on by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, as set forth
        in this
        Section 8(c).

       

      (9).  No
        Impairment.
        The
        Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through
        any
        reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
        dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid
        or
        seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
        or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith
        assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this section and in the
        taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to
        protect
        the conversion rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock against
        impairment.

       

      (10).  No
        Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
        No
        fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares
        of
        the Series A Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to
        be
        issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of shares
        issuable upon conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number
        of
        shares of Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into
        Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
        aggregate conversion.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          -4-

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (11).  Notices
        of Record Date.
        In the
        event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class
        of
        securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled
        to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution,
        any
        right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock
        of any
        class or any other securities or property, or any other right, the Company
        shall
        mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior
        to
        the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such
        record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right,
        and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or
        right.

       

      (12).  Notices.
        Any
        notice required by the provisions of this Certificate of Designations to
        be
        given to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed
        given
        if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to
        each
        holder of record at his address appearing on the books of the
        Company.

       

      (13).  Protective
        Provisions.
        So long
        as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall
        not
        without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided
        by
        law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares
        of
        Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class: 

       

      (a)  create
        (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of shares having
        rights, preferences or privileges equal or senior to the Series A Preferred
        Stock. 

       

      (b)  directly
        or indirectly, alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the
        Series A Preferred Stock. 

       

      (c)  amend
        the
        Company’s Articles of Incorporation in a manner that materially adversely
        affects the rights, preferences or privileges of the holders of the Series
        A
        Preferred Stock.

       

      (d)  increase
        or decrease the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock of the
        Company;

       

      (e)  liquidate
        or wind-up the Company; or

       

      (f)  redeem,
        purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set funds aside for a sinking
        fund
        for such purpose) any share or shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock;
        provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase
        of
        shares of Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or
        other
        persons performing services for the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to
        agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares
        at
        cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of
        employment, or through the exercise of any right of first refusal.

       

      (14).  Return
        of Status as Authorized Shares.
        Upon a
        Mandatory Conversion or any other redemption or extinguishment of the Series
        A
        Preferred Stock, the shares converted, redeemed or extinguished will be
        automatically returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of
        preferred stock, available for future designation and issuance pursuant to
        the
        terms of the Articles of Incorporation.

      FURTHER
        RESOLVED, that the statements contained in the foregoing resolutions creating
        and designating the said Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and fixing

        the end
        of each month based on the Operating Cash Flow for such month as estimated
        by

        make a

        Quarterly Amount”) based on the financial statements of Party B, which have been
        reviewed or audited by the Parties’ registered certifying accountant for U.S.
        financial reporting purposes (“Accountant”). To the extent the Final Amount is
        greater than the Estimated Monthly Amounts for such quarter, the Fee shall
        be
        adjusted and Party B shall promptly remit to Party A the additional Fee due
        and
        owing. To the extent the Final Amount is less than the Estimated Monthly
        Amounts
        for such quarter, the Fee shall be adjusted and Party A shall promptly remit
        to
        Party B the amount by which the Fee was overpaid. 

      

      Notwithstanding
        anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for each fiscal year
        of
        Party B, (i) in the event that 20% of Party B’s Net Income (as defined below)
        for the fiscal year is less than the Fee for such fiscal year, the Fee shall
        be
        adjusted such that it shall be equal to 20% of Party B’s Net Income for such
        fiscal year, and (ii) in the event that 20% of Party B’s Net Income is greater
        than the Fee for such fiscal year, the Fee shall be increased such that it
        shall
        be equal to 20% of Party B’s Net Income for such fiscal year. 

      

      For
        purposes of this Agreement, the determination and calculation of Net Income
        and
        Operating Cash Flow shall made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
        accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) as reflected on Party B’s U.S. GAAP
        financial statements, which have been reviewed or audited by the Accountant,
        before giving effect to the Fee paid or payable hereunder and the Other Fees

        Income
        or Operating Cash Flow shall be resolved by the Accountant, and such
        determination shall be final.
