                                  VSOURCE, INC.

                           Certificate of Designation

           Robert C. McShirley and Sandford T. Waddell, certify that:

A.   They are the duly elected and acting President and Secretary, respectively,
     of Vsource, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company");

B.   The following resolution, which sets forth the rights, preferences,
     privileges and restrictions of the Series 2-A Convertible Preferred Stock
     of the Company determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in
     accordance with the authorization contained in the Company's Articles of
     Incorporation, as amended, was duly adopted by the Board by unanimous
     written consent dated as of July 27, 2000:

     AUTHORIZATION OF SERIES 2-A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

     Resolved that the Board of Directors hereby determines that 2,100,000
shares of Class A Preferred Stock shall be designated "Series 2-A Convertible
Preferred Stock" and that such Series 2-A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have
the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions hereinafter set forth:

     DESIGNATION OF SERIES 2-A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

     1.   Designation.

This series of Class A Preferred Stock shall be designated "Series 2-A
Convertible Preferred Stock," par value $0.01 per share("Series 2-A Preferred").

     2.   Authorized Number.

The number of authorized shares of Series 2-A Preferred shall be two million one
hundred thousand (2,100,000) shares.

     3.   Dividends.

     The holders of shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive, out of any assets legally available therefor, and when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors, noncumulative dividends in an amount equal
to eight percent (8%) of the Original Issue Price (defined below) per share
annually. No dividend may be declared and paid upon shares of Common Stock in
any fiscal year of the Corporation unless dividends of eight percent of the
Original Issue Price (defined below) per share has first been paid upon or
declared and set aside for payment to the holders of the shares of Series 2-A
Preferred Stock for such fiscal year of the Corporation. No undeclared or unpaid
dividend shall ever bear interest.

     4.   Liquidation Preference.

          a.   In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
     Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, each holder of the Series 2-A
     Preferred Stock shall be entitled to

<PAGE>   2

     receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets
     or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock by
     reason of their ownership thereof, a preference amount or each outstanding
     share of Series 2-A Preferred Stock held by such holder equal to the sum of
     (A) the price originally paid to the Corporation for that outstanding share
     of Series 2-A Preferred Stock (the "Original Issue Price") at the same time
     and with the same priority as the payment to the holders of the Series 1-A
     Preferred Stock of $2.50 for each outstanding share of Series 1-A Preferred
     Stock and (B) an amount equal to declared but unpaid dividends on such
     share, if any, but only to the extent of the Company's retained earnings.
     If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed
     among the holders of the Series 1-A Preferred Stock and the Series 2-A
     Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders
     of the full preferential amount each such holder is entitled to receive,
     then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for
     distribution shall be distributed among such holders and the holders of the
     Series 1-A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount
     each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

          b.   After payment to the holders of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock
     and the Series 1-A Preferred Stock of the amounts to which they are
     entitled to be paid prior and in preference to any distribution of any of
     the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common
     Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the remaining assets and funds
     of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be
     distributed among the holders of the Common Stock, the Series 1-A Preferred
     Stock and the Series 2-A Preferred Stock pro rata based on the number of
     shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming conversion of all such Series
     2-A Preferred Stock pursuant to Paragraph 7 below and of all such Series
     1-A Preferred Stock pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the Certificate of
     Designation creating the Series 1-A Preferred Stock).

          c.   For purposes of this Section 4, a liquidation, dissolution or
     winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by or to
     include (i) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means
     of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without
     limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation but, excluding any
     merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the
     Corporation), or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of
     the Corporation; unless the Corporation's shareholders of record as
     constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately
     after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of securities issued as
     consideration for the Corporation's acquisition or sale or otherwise) hold
     a majority of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity. In any
     of such events, if the consideration received by the Corporation received
     is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. The
     fair market value of common stock which is publicly traded on an exchange
     or the NASDAQ National Market System or Small Cap Market shall be the
     average of the daily market prices of that stock over the 20 consecutive
     trading days immediately preceding (and not including) the date the
     Corporation or its shareholders receives such stock. The daily market price
     for each trading day shall be: (A) the closing price on that day on the
     principal exchange on which such common stock is then listed or admitted to
     trading or on NASDAQ, as applicable; or (B) if no sale takes place on that
     day on such exchange or NASDAQ, the average of the official closing bid and
     asked prices for that stock. Otherwise, the fair market value of such
     consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
     and provided in writing by the Corporation to the holders of the Series 2-A
     Preferred Stock within five(5) days of the date of such determination;
     provided, however, that the fair market value of such consideration shall
     be determined by appraisal in accordance with the following provisions if
     the holders of at least two-thirds of then outstanding Series 2-A Preferred
     Stock object in writing to the Board of Director's determination within 15
     days of their receipt of notice of such determination by the Board of
     Directors. A single appraiser shall selected jointly by the holders of a
     majority of the Series 2-A

<PAGE>   3


     Preferred Stock and the Corporation. If the holders of the Series 2-A
     Preferred Stock and the Corporation are unable to agree on an appraiser
     within twenty (20) days of the Board of Directors receiving notice of such
     holders' objection to the Board of Directors' determination, each shall
     immediately appoint an appraiser who shall determine such fair market
     value. If the lower of the appraised fair market values is not less than
     ninety percent (90%) of the higher appraised fair market value, the final
     fair market value of such consideration shall be the average of the
     appraised values. If the lower of the appraised values is less than ninety
     percent (90%) of the higher appraised values, the original appraisers shall
     appoint a final appraiser who shall pick one of the two prior values
     determined by the first two appraisers. All appraisal reports shall be
     completed no later than sixty (60) days after the appointment of the
     appraiser engaged to render such appraisal. All appraisal fees and costs
     shall be paid by the Corporation; provided, however, that if the final
     appraised value is no more than ten percent (10%) higher than that
     determined by the Board, the appraisal fees and costs shall be subtracted
     from the liquidation preference to be paid to the holders of the Series 2-A
     Preferred Stock.

     5.   Redemption.

          a.   Redemption at the Option of the Corporation. The Corporation
     shall not have the right to call or redeem any shares of the Series 2-A
     Preferred Stock.

          b.   Redemption at the Option of the Holders. The holders of the
     Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall not have any right to require the
     Corporation to redeem all or any part of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock
     held by them.

     6.   Voting Rights.

     The holder of each share of Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall have the right
to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series 2-A Preferred
Stock could then be converted (with any fractional share determined on an
aggregate conversion basis being rounded down to the nearest whole share), and
with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers
equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall
be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any
shareholders' meeting in accordance with the by-laws of the Company, and shall
be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any
question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote.

     7.   Conversion.

     The holders of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights
as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

          a.   Right to Convert. Each share of Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall
     be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the
     date of issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any
     transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and
     nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the
     Original Issue Price by the then applicable Conversion Price, determined as
     hereinafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate evidencing such
     share is surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price per share
     for Series 2-A Preferred Stock (the "Conversion Price") shall be the
     Original Issue Price. Such initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted as
     hereinafter provided.

          b.   Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series 2-A Preferred Stock
     shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then
     effective Conversion Price

<PAGE>   4


     as provided in Section 7.a. above, immediately upon the closing of a public
     offering of the Corporation's Common Stock with aggregate gross proceeds of
     at least $20,000,000 and a per share price to the public of at least
     Thirteen Dollars ($13.00), or at the election of the holders of a majority
     of the outstanding shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock.

          c.   Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series 2-A
     Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common
     Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates thereof,
     duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent
     for such stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such
     office that it elects to convert the same and shall state therein the
     number of shares to be converted and the name or names in which it wishes
     the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued.
     The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver
     at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number
     of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled. Such
     conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close
     of business on the date of surrender of the shares of Series 2-A Preferred
     Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the
     shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
     all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock
     on such date.

          d.   Conversion Price Adjustments. The Conversion Price shall be
     subject to the following adjustments:

               (1)  Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the
          Corporation at any time or from time to time after the first issuance
          of Series 2-A Preferred Stock (the "Purchase Date") effects a
          subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, by stock split or
          otherwise, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that
          subdivision shall be proportionately decreased; and, conversely, if
          the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Purchase
          Date combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, by reverse stock
          split or otherwise, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately
          before that combination shall be proportionately increased. Any
          adjustment under this Section d(1) shall become effective at the close
          of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes
          effective.

               (2)  Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the
          event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the
          Purchase Date either makes, or fixes a record date for the
          determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a
          dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common
          Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price then in effect
          shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event
          such a record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such
          record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a
          fraction (1) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of
          Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of
          such issuance on the close of business on such record date, and (2)
          the denominator of which shall be (i) the total number of shares of
          Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of
          such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus (ii)
          the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such
          dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date
          is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution
          is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price
          shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such
          record date or date fixed therefor and thereafter the Conversion Price
          shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section d(2) as of the time of
          actual payment of such dividend or distribution. For purposes of the
          foregoing

<PAGE>   5


          formula, "the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
          outstanding" on a particular date shall include shares of Common Stock
          issuable upon conversion of stock or securities convertible into
          Common Stock and the exercise of warrants, options or rights for the
          purchase of Common Stock which are outstanding on such date.

               (3)  Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the
          event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the
          Purchase Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of
          holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other
          distribution payable in securities of the Corporation other than
          shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event, provision shall
          be made so that each Holder of Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall
          receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares
          of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the
          Corporation which it would have received had the Holder's shares of
          Series 2-A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock as of the
          date of such event and had it thereafter, during the period from the
          date of such event to and including the date of exercise, retained
          such securities receivable by it as aforesaid during such period,
          subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under
          this Section 5 with respect to the rights of such Holder.

               (4)  Adjustment for Recapitalization, Reclassification, or
          Exchange. If the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the
          Series 2-A Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different
          number of shares of any class or classes of stock of the Corporation,
          whether by recapitalization, reclassification or other exchange (other
          than a subdivision or combination of shares, or a stock dividend or a
          reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, provided for
          elsewhere in this Section d), then and in any such event each Holder
          of Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to
          convert the Series 2-A Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of
          stock and other securities and property receivable upon such
          recapitalization, reclassification or other exchange by holders of the
          number of shares of Common Stock into which the number of shares of
          Series 2-A Preferred Stock then by such Holder could be converted
          immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or other
          exchange, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

               (5)  Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets.
          If at any time or from time to time there is a capital reorganization
          of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of shares
          or a stock dividend or a recapitalization, reclassification or other
          exchange of shares, provided for elsewhere in this Section d) or a
          merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another
          corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the
          Corporation's assets to any other person, then, as a part of such
          capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall
          be made so that each Holder of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall
          thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series 2-A
          Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or
          property of the Corporation, or of the successor corporation resulting
          from such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, to
          which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable
          upon such exercise would have been entitled on such capital
          reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case,
          appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
          provisions of this Section d with respect to the rights of each Holder
          of Series 2-A Preferred Stock after the capital reorganization,
          merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this
          Section d (including the number of shares deliverable upon conversion
          of the Series 2-A

<PAGE>   6


          Preferred Stock) shall continue to be applicable after that event and
          shall be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be
          practicable.

               (6)  Sale of Shares Below Conversion Price.

                    (a) If at any time or from time to time after the Purchase
               Date, the Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed by the
               express provisions of this Section d(6) to have issued or sold,
               Additional Shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), other
               than as a dividend or other distribution on any class of stock as
               provided in Section d(2) and other than upon a subdivision or
               combination of shares of Common Stock as provided in Section
               d(1), for an Effective Price (as hereinafter defined) less than
               the then existing Conversion Price, then and in each such case
               the then existing Conversion Price shall be reduced, as of the
               opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to a price
               determined by multiplying that Conversion Price by a fraction the
               numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common
               Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day next
               preceding the date of such issue or sale, plus (B) the number of
               shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received
               (or by the express provisions hereof is deemed to have been
               received) by the Corporation for the total number of Additional
               Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such
               Conversion Price, plus (C) the number of shares of Common Stock
               underlying Other Securities (as hereinafter defined) and the
               denominator of which shall be (X) the number of shares of Common
               Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of such
               issue after giving effect to such issue of Additional Shares of
               Common Stock, plus (Y) the number of shares of Common Stock
               underlying the Other Securities at the close of business on the
               date of such issue or sale.

                    (b) For the purpose of making any adjustment required under
               this Section d(6), the consideration received by the Corporation
               for any issue or sale of securities shall (A) to the extent it
               consists of cash be computed at the amount of cash received by
               the Corporation, (B) to the extent it consists of property other
               than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as
               determined in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section
               4.c. above, and (C) if Additional Shares of Common Stock,
               Convertible Securities (as hereinafter defined) or rights or
               options to purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or
               Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other
               stock or securities or other assets of the Corporation for a
               consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of
               the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined
               in good faith by the Board to be allocable to such Additional
               Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or
               options under the procedure set forth in Section 4.c. above.

                    (c) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this
               Section d(6), if the Corporation issues or sells any rights or
               options for the purchase of, or stock or other securities
               convertible into, Additional Shares of Common Stock (such
               convertible stock or securities being hereinafter referred to as
               "Convertible Securities") and if the Effective Price of such
               Additional Shares of Common Stock is less than the Conversion
               Price then in effect, then in each case the Corporation shall be
               deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights
               or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of
               Additional

<PAGE>   7


               Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion
               thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of
               such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the
               consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the
               issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities,
               plus, in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts
               of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the
               exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of
               Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if
               any, payable to the Corporation (other than by cancellation of
               liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible
               Securities) upon the conversion thereof. No further adjustment of
               the Conversion Price, adjusted upon the issuance of such rights,
               options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of
               the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock on the
               exercise of any such rights or options or the conversion of any
               such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or options or the
               conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible
               Securities shall expire without having been exercised, the
               Conversion Price adjusted upon the issuance of such rights,
               options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the
               Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an
               adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional Shares
               of Common Stock so issued were the Additional Shares of Common
               Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such
               rights or options or rights of conversion of such Convertible
               Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any,
               were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by
               the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if
               any, actually received by the Corporation for the granting of all
               such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the
               consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible
               Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any,
               actually received by the Corporation (other than by cancellation
               of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible
               Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities.

                    (d) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all
               shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation after the
               Purchase Date, whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired
               by the Corporation, other than: (A) shares of Common Stock issued
               upon conversion of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock or any other
               options or warrants or convertible securities outstanding or
               issuable on the Purchase Date; (B) shares of Common Stock
               issuable or issued to the directors, officers and employees of or
               consultants to the Corporation; (C) shares of Common Stock
               issuable or issued as part of an acquisition by the Corporation
               of all of or certain assets (including technology rights) or
               shares of another company or entity whether through a purchase,
               merger, exchange, reorganization or the like; (D) shares of
               Common Stock issuable or issued pursuant to equipment financing
               or leasing arrangements; or (E) shares issued in a public
               offering of the Corporation's securities. The "Effective Price"
               of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean the quotient
               determined by dividing the total number of Additional Shares of
               Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or
               sold by the Corporation under this Section d(6), into the
               aggregate consideration received, or deemed to have been received
               by the Corporation for such issue under this Section d(6), for
               such Additional Shares of Common Stock. "Other Securities" with
               respect to an issue or sale of Additional Shares of Common Stock
               shall mean (i) preferred stock, debentures and notes convertible
               into Common Stock, and (ii) options or warrants to purchase
               Common Stock at a price that is no greater than 95% of the
               Effective Price of such issue or sale of

               Additional Shares of Common Stock. The "number of shares of
               Common Stock underlying Other Securities" on a particular date
               shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
               exercise or conversion, as the case may be, of such Other
               Securities at the close of business on such date but only to the
               extent that the holders thereof have the fully vested legal right
               to exercise or convert such Other Securities on such date and to
               retain the Common Stock issued upon such exercise or conversion.

               (7)  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of
          the Conversion Price, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly
          compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms
          hereof, and shall prepare and furnish to the holders of the Series 2-A
          Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or
          readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such
          adjustment or readjustment is based.

          e.   Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the
     Corporation 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 security
     or right convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive or any
     right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock
     of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other
     right, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series 2-A Preferred
     Stock at least twenty (20) 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, security or right, and the amount
     and character of such dividend, distribution, security or right.

          f.   Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation
     shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
     unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
     conversion of the shares of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock, such number of
     its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to
     effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series 2-A Preferred
     Stock and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of
     Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then
     outstanding shares of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will
     take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
     necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to
     such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including,
     without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite
     stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Articles of
     Incorporation.

          g.   Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the
     conversion of any share or shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock. All shares
     of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of
     more than one share of Series 2-A Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall
     be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would
     result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the
     aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of
     a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of
     issuing any fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such
     fraction a sum in cash equal to the fair market value of such fraction on
     the date of conversion (determined as provided in Section 5.c.).

          h.   Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 5
     to be given to the holders of shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall be
     deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
     return receipt requested, and addressed to each holder of record at his
     address appearing on the books of the Corporation.

     8.   Amendment.

     Any term relating to the Series 2-A Preferred Stock may be amended and the
observance of any term relating to the Series 2-A Preferred Stock may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance) only with the vote or written
consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series 2-A
Preferred Stock. Any amendment so effected shall be binding upon the Corporation
and any holder of the Series 2-A Preferred Stock.

     9.   Restrictions and Limitations.

     So long as any shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the
Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock, voting
together as a single class:

          a.   Increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the total number
     of authorized shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock; or

          b.   Amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation to change
     the rights, preferences, privileges or limitations of the Series 2-A
     Preferred Stock.

     10.  No Reissuance of Series 2-A Preferred Stock.

     No share or shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock acquired by the
Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be
reissued, and all such shares shall be returned to the status of undesignated
shares of Preferred Stock.

     11.  Residual Rights.

     Holders of shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock shall not have any
pre-emptive rights. All rights accruing o the outstanding shares of the Company
not expressly provided for to the contrary herein shall be vested in the Common
Stock.

C.   That the number of shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock is 2,100,000; and

D.   That none of such shares of Series 2-A Preferred Stock has been issued.
