              AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF SERIES G PREFERRED STOCK
                                       OF
                             NEW VISUAL CORPORATION

It is hereby certified that:

1. The name of the corporation is New Visual Corporation [hereinafter called the
"corporation"].

2. The articles of incorporation, as amended, of the corporation authorizes the
issuance of 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, and expressly
vests in the Board of Directors of the corporation the authority provided
therein to issue any or all of said shares in one or more series and by

3. The Board of Directors of the corporation, pursuant to the authority
expressly vested in it as aforesaid, has adopted the following resolutions
creating a Series G issue of Preferred Stock:

RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby fixes and determines the
designation of the number of shares and the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions relating to the Series G Preferred Stock:

         (a) DESIGNATION. The series of Preferred Stock created hereby shall be
designated the Series G Preferred Stock [the "Series G Preferred Stock"].

         (b) AUTHORIZED SHARES. The number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock
shall be 10,294.118 shares.

         (c) LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, after setting
apart or paying in full the preferential amounts due to holders of senior
capital stock, if any, the holders of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or
surplus funds of the corporation to the holders of junior capital stock,
including Common Stock, an amount equal to $48.57 share, less an amount obtained
by multiplying that amount by the current principal balance, divided by the
original principal amount [the "Liquidation Preference"]. If upon such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the assets of the
corporation available for distribution to the holders of the Series G Preferred

                                       2
<PAGE>

Stock shall be insufficient to permit in full the payment of the Liquidation
Preference, then all such assets of the corporation shall be distributed ratably
among the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock. Neither the consolidation or
merger of the corporation nor the sale, lease or transfer by the corporation of
all or a part of its assets shall be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the corporation for purposes of this Section (c).

         (d) DIVIDENDS. The Series G Preferred Stock shall be not be entitled to
receive any dividends.

         (e) CONVERSION RIGHTS. Each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder, into 1,000 fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Company's Common Stock, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
conversion would not violate any applicable federal, state, or local law, rule,
regulation, or any judgment, writ, decree, or order binding upon the Company or
the holder, or any provision of the company's or holder's amended Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, nor conflict with or contravene the provisions of any
agreement to which the Company and the holder are Parties or by which they are
bound. The foregoing conversion calculation shall be hereinafter referred to as
the "Conversion Ratio". Said conversion ratio shall be subject to equitable
adjustment at the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation in the event of the occurrence of capital events which make such
adjustment appropriate, such as a dividend payable in shares of common stock,
combinations of the common stock, a merger or consolidation, or the like.

         (i) CONVERSION PROCEDURE. The holder shall effect conversions by
surrendering the certificate(s) representing the Series G Preferred Stock to be
converted to the corporation, together with a form of conversion notice
satisfactory to the corporation, which shall be irrevocable. If the holder is
converting less than all of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock represented
by the certificate tendered, the corporation shall promptly deliver to the
holder a new certificate representing the Series G Preferred Stock not
converted. Not later than five [5] trading days after the conversion date, the
corporation will deliver to the holder, (i) a certificate or certificates, which
shall be subject to restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by
law, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the
conversion; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the corporation shall not be obligated to
issue such certificates until the Series G Preferred Stock is delivered to the
corporation. If the corporation does not deliver such certificate(s) by the date
required under this paragraph (e)(i), the holder shall be entitled by written
notice to the corporation at any time on or before receipt of such
certificate(s), to rescind such conversion.

         (ii) CONVERSION PENALTY. In the event the corporation breaches its
obligation to timely deliver the Common Stock on conversion, then without
limiting holder's other rights and remedies, the corporation shall pay to the
holder an amount accruing at the rate of $5.00 per day for each such breach for

                                       3
<PAGE>

each 10,294.118 shares of Common Stock subject to the conversion, with pro rata
payments for amounts less than 10,294.118 shares.

         (iii) ADJUSTMENTS ON STOCK SPLITS, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. If the
corporation, at any time while any Series G Preferred Stock is outstanding, (a)
shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on
shares of its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock [whether
payable in shares of its Common Stock or of capital stock of any class], (b)
subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c)
combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or
(d) issue reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock
of the corporation, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted by multiplying the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the corporation outstanding
after such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this
paragraph (e)(iii) shall become effective immediately after the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in
the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. Whenever the
Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to this paragraph, the corporation shall
promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after
such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.

         (iv) ADJUSTMENTS ON RECLASSIFICATIONS, CONSOLIDATIONS AND MERGERS. In
case of reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the
corporation with or into another person, the sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the corporation or any compulsory share
exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities,
cash or property, then each holder of Series G Preferred Stock then outstanding
shall have the right thereafter to convert such Series G Preferred Stock only
into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or
deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and the Holder shall be
entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the
shares of the Common Stock into which such Series G Preferred Stock could have
been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange would have been entitled. The terms of
any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include
such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the
securities or property set forth in this paragraph (e)(iv) upon any conversion
following such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. This
provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations,
mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

                                       4

         (v) FRACTIONAL SHARES; ISSUANCE EXPENSES. Upon a conversion of Series G
Preferred Stock, the corporation shall not be required to issue stock
certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but shall issue
that number of shares of Common Stock rounded to the nearest whole number. The
issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series G
Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary
stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery
of such certificate, provided that the corporation shall not be required to pay
any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance
and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that
of the Holder, and the corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver
such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the corporation the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the corporation that such tax has been paid.

         (f) VOTING RIGHTS. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as
required by law, the holders of shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled to vote on any matters considered and voted upon by the corporation's
Common Stock. In the event the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock are
entitled to vote on a matter as required by law, the holders shall be entitled
to 1,000 votes per share of Series G Preferred Stock.

         (g) RESERVATION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. The corporation covenants
that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and
unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of
Series G Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any
other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the holders of
Series G Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be
issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding Series G Preferred Stock. If at
any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not
be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series G Preferred
Stock, the corporation will take such corporate action necessary to increase its
authorized shares of Common Stock to such number as shall be sufficient for such
purpose. The corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be
so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully
paid and nonassessable.

         (h) NO REISSUANCE OF SERIES G PREFERRED STOCK. No shares of the Series
G Preferred Stock acquired by the corporation by reason of redemption, purchase,
conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be
cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares of capital stock which the
corporation shall be authorized to issue.

         (i) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. There shall be no mandatory redemption.

                                       5

                                                                     -----------

                      SECOND AMENDMENT TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT
                      ------------------------------------

         This SECOND AMENDMENT TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "SECOND AMENDMENT") is
dated effective as of June 18, 2003, between New Visual Corporation (formerly
New Visual Entertainment, Inc.), a Utah corporation (the "COMPANY"), and
Wachovia Bank, N.A. (formerly, First Union National Bank), as Rights Agent (the
"RIGHTS AGENT").

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

         1. The Company and the Rights Agent have previously entered into that
certain Rights Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2000 (the "AGREEMENT"). On May
18, 2003, the parties entered into an amendment to the Agreement (the "FIRST
AMENDMENT"), which became effective on the effective date of that certain
Collateral Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (the "COLLATERAL LOAN AGREEMENT")
entered into between the Company and Mercatus & Partners Ltd. Pursuant to the
Collateral Loan Agreement, the Company may from time to time borrow funds and
secure such borrowings by issuing shares of Preferred Stock of the Company (the
"COLLATERAL STOCK") in various series to be designated from time to time by the
Board of Directors of the Company. The Collateral Stock will be convertible into
Common Stock of the Company in the event of a default by the Company in the
performance of its repayment obligations under the Collateral Loan Agreement.

         2. The Company and the Rights Agent entered into the First Amendment to
ensure that no Person would be deemed to be an Acquiring Person (as defined in
the Agreement) as the result of acquiring Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
of the Company (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) issued as
collateral pursuant to the Collateral Loan Agreement. The parties now desire to
further amend the Agreement to expand the scope of the First Amendment and
ensure that no Person will be deemed to be an Acquiring Person as the result of
acquiring any series of Preferred Stock of the Company (or Common Stock issued
upon conversion thereof) issued as collateral pursuant to the Collateral Loan
Agreement, including such Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and any other
series of Preferred Stock of the Company so issued.

         3. Section 27 (SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS) of the Agreement provides,
in part, that as long as the Rights are redeemable, the Agreement may be
supplemented or amended without the approval of any holders of Rights.

                                    AGREEMENT
                                    ---------

         Section 1. EFFECT OF SECOND AMENDMENT. This Second Amendment shall
further amend Section 1(p) of the Agreement (CERTAIN DEFINITIONS -- EXEMPT
PERSON) as previously amended by the First Amendment. Such previously amended
Section 1(p) shall be replaced in its entirety by the text set forth in Section
3 below.

         Section 2. DEFINITIONS. All capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

<PAGE>

         Section 3. AMENDED DEFINITION. Pursuant to Section 27 of the Agreement
(SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS), the undersigned wish to amend Section 1 (p) of the
Agreement (CERTAIN DEFINITIONS -- EXEMPT PERSON) to read as follows:

         (p) "EXEMPT PERSON" shall mean (i) the Company, any Subsidiary of the
         Company, any employee benefit plan or employee stock plan of the
         Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Person organized,
         appointed or established for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan
         or for the purpose of funding any such plan or funding other employee
         benefits for employees of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the
         Company, (ii) any Person who or which is or becomes the Beneficial
         Owner of 20% or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding as
         the result of such Person's Beneficial Ownership of convertible
         Preferred Stock of the Company that is issued to such Person as
         security (the "Collateral Stock") for any borrowing by the Company of
         funds pursuant to the Collateral Loan Agreement between the Company and
         Mercatus & Partners Ltd., including such Person's acquisition from the
         Company of any shares of Common Stock of the Company issued upon
         conversion of such Collateral Stock, or acquisition of the Company's
         securities, including, but not limited to securities convertible into
         Common Stock, in exchange for the Collateral Stock held by such Person,
         unless and until such Person, while a Beneficial Owner of 20% or more
         of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, acquires in any manner
         other than pursuant to such conversion or exchange, Beneficial
         Ownership of additional shares of Common Stock constituting 1% or more
         of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock.

         Section 4. GOVERNING LAW. This Second Amendment shall be deemed to be a
contract made under the laws of the State of Utah and for all purposes shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State applicable
to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

         Section 5. COUNTERPARTS. This Second Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be
deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute
but one and the same instrument.

         Section 6. RIGHTS AGREEMENT PROVISIONS. All provisions of the
Agreement, as amended hereby, remain in full force and effect.
