                               FINGERMATRIX, INC.

        Pursuant to Section 805 of the New York Business Corporation Law

         THE UNDERSIGNED, being all of the directors of FINGERMATRIX, INC., do
hereby certify as follows:
         1. The name of the Corporation is Fingermatrix, Inc.
         2. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with
the Department of State of the State of New York on May 12, 1976.
         3. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is
hereby amended to add the Certificate of the Powers, Designations, Preferences
and Rights of the Series A 2% Voting Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company,
as follows:

         STATEMENT OF THE POWERS, DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES,
PRIVILEGES, RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS OF THE SERIES A 2% VOTING
CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK.

The designation of, the number of shares constituting, and the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to, the Series A 2% Voting
Convertible Preferred Stock are as follows:

         1. Designation and Number of Shares. The designation of this series of
One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per
share ("Preferred Stock"), created by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
pursuant to the authority granted to it by the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Corporation is "Series A 2% Voting Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock"
(the "Series A Preferred Stock.") In the event that the Corporation does not
issue the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the Corporation
may, from time to time, by resolution of the Board of Directors, reduce the
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized, provided that no such
reduction shall reduce the number of authorized shares to a number which is less
than the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then issued or reserved
for issuance. The number of shares by which the Series A Preferred Stock is
reduced shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred
Stock, without designation as to series until such stock is once more designated
as part of a particular series by the Corporation's Board of Directors.

         2.       Dividend Rights.

          ---------------                                      ----   ----

                  (a) Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of
funds of this Corporation legally available therefor, cash dividends at an
annual rate of Thirteen Cents ($.13) per share, subject to the provisions of
Paragraphs 2(c) and (d) of this Statement. Dividends shall be payable in
quarterly installments. Such installments shall be paid on the dividend payment
dates, as hereinafter defined. Dividend payment dates shall be January 1, April
1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, with the first dividend payment date being
April 1, 1999. Dividends shall be payable on the dividend payment dates to
holders of Series A Preferred Stock of record on the 15th day of the preceding
December, March, June and September, respectively. Each quarterly period ending
on a dividend payment date is referred to as a "dividend period." Dividends on
the Series A Preferred Stock shall be fully cumulative and accrue, which respect
to each share of Series A Preferred Stock, from the date such share of Series A
Preferred Stock is originally issued.

                  (b) The amount of any dividends "accrued" on any share of
Series A Preferred Stock at any dividend payment date shall be deemed to be the
amount of any unpaid dividends accumulated thereon to and including such
dividend payment date, whether or not earned or declared, and the amount of
dividends accrued on any share of Series A Preferred Stock at any date other
than a dividend payment date shall be calculated as the amount of any unpaid
dividends accumulated thereon to and including the last preceding dividend
payment date, whether or not earned or declared, plus an amount calculated on
the basis of the annual dividend rate of Thirteen Cents ($.13) per share for the
period after such last preceding dividend payment date to and including the date
as of which the calculation is made.

                  (c) Except as provided in this Statement, no dividends shall
be declared or paid or set aside for payment on any class or series of capital
stock ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to
dividends for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or
contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for
payment thereof is set aside for such payment on the Series A Preferred for all
dividends periods terminating on or prior to the dividend payment date of such
dividends on any such series or class. When dividends are not paid in full upon
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock
of the Corporation ("Preferred Stock") ranking on a parity as to dividends with
the Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and such other series of Preferred Stock shall be declared pro
rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on the Series A
Preferred Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the
accrued dividends per share on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such
other series of Preferred Stock bear to each other. Holders of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to dividends thereon, whether payable in
cash, property or stock, in excess of the full cumulative dividends thereon, as
provided in this Statement. No dividend on Series A Preferred Stock shall be
declared or paid or set apart for payment with respect to any dividend payment
date unless full dividends, including accumulated dividends, if any, on any
series or class of capital stock ranking, as to dividends, prior to Series A
Preferred Stock which are to have been paid on or prior to such dividend payment
date have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum
sufficient for payment thereof has been set aside for all dividend periods for
such series or class terminating on or prior to such dividend payment date.

                  (d) As long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
outstanding, no dividends (other than a dividend in any series or class of
capital stock ranking junior to Series A

Preferred Stock as to both dividends and payments in the event of voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up), shall be declared or paid
or set aside for payment and no other distribution shall be declared or made
upon any such junior series or class of capital stock, and no such junior series
or class of capital stock or any series of Preferred Stock on a parity with
Series A Preferred Stock as to both dividends and payments in the event of
voluntary and involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall be
redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration by the
Corporation or by any subsidiary (which shall mean any corporation or entity,
the majority of voting power to elect directors of which is held directly or
indirectly by the Corporation ), except by conversion into or exchange for any
such junior series or class of capital stock; unless, in each case, the full
cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall
have been paid in full for all past dividend periods or unless the holders of a
majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall consent thereto.

         3.       Voting Rights.

                  (a) Except as otherwise required by law, and subject to the
earlier redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the Common Stock, as if the
Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock were a single class; provided
that, in all matters, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
right to cast such number of votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock as are
equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock based on the conversion rate per share of Common Stock
on the record date for determining holders entitled to vote, but without regard
to whether the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then convertible into
Common Stock.

                  (b) In the event that, pursuant to applicable law, the holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock are required to vote as a single class separate
and apart from the Common Stock, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to one vote per share of Series A Preferred Stock.

         4.       Conversion into Common Stock.

                  (a) (i) All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Series
A Preferred Stock will be converted automatically, without any required act or
deed on the part of the holders thereof, in accordance with the provisions of
that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among the Corporation,
SES Acquisition Corp. and The Trinity Group, Inc. dated as of January 1, 1999.
In the event of such conversion, the provisions of Paragraph 4(a)(iii) and
4(c)through (k), inclusive, shall apply.

                      (ii) In the event the Series A Preferred Stock is not
converted pursuant to Paragraph 4(a)(i) hereof, on the first anniversary of the
Closing Date of that certain Debt Exchange Agreement dated as of January 1, 1999
among the Corporation and certain Creditors (as defined therein), then, as of
such date, each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to
convert any or all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the
Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock"), at the
conversion rate (as hereinafter defined) (the "Conversion Rate") or, as to any
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption prior to the first
anniversary of such Closing Date, at any time prior to the time and date of such

redemption (unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the Redemption
Price, in which case such right shall not terminate at such time and date), to
convert such shares into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at
the Common Stock Conversion Rate as of the Date of conversion.

                      (iii) No fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock may
be converted. If the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which may be
converted pursuant to this Paragraph 4 includes a fractional share of Series A
Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that may be
converted shall be rounded up so that the amount of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock subject to conversion is a whole number. If the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are held by more than one holder, the number of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock which may be converted by each such holder shall be such
holder's pro rata share of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock or such
other percentage as may be jointly determined by all such shareholders. In
determining the number of shares of Series A Preferred stock which may be
converted by a holder of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Paragraph
4(a)(ii), if any fractional share of Series A Preferred Stock which is held by
such holder is more than one-half share, such fractional share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be rounded up to a full share of Series A Preferred Stock
and shall confer upon the holder thereof the right to immediately convert such
share and if any fractional share of Series A Preferred Stock is less than or
equal to one-half share of Series A Preferred Stock, such fractional share shall
be rounded down to zero shares and shall confer no immediate conversion
privilege on the holder with respect to such fractional share.

                  (b) The Conversion Rate shall mean the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of one (1) share of Series A Preferred
Stock. The Conversion Rate shall be one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to
proper adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4(e) of this Statement.

                  (c) Conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
effected by surrender of the certificate representing the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock being converted to the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred
Stock, or, if none shall have been appointed, to the Corporation, together with
the form of notice of election to convert as may be provided from time to time
by the Corporation.

                  (d) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have
been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of the
surrender for conversion of the certificate therefor, together with the form of
notice of election provided by the Corporation duly signed by the holder
thereof, and the person or persons entitled to receive shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder of such shares of Common Stock as of such time. As promptly as
practicable on or after the conversion date, the Corporation or its transfer
agent shall issue and shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the number
of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, together with a
cash payment in lieu of any fraction of any share, as hereinafter provided, to
the person or persons entitled to receive the same.

                  (e) The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment as
follows:

          ---------------                                      ----   ----

                      (i) In case the Corporation shall, after the date on which
this Amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation
is filed (the "Filing Date"), (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its
shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide, split or
reclassify its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C)
effect a reverse split or otherwise combine or reclassify its outstanding Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue any shares by
reclassification of its shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at
the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the
effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the holder of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock converted after such date shall be entitled to receive the aggregate
number and kind of shares which, if such shares had been converted immediately
prior to such time, it would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled
to receive upon such dividend. subdivision, combination or reclassification.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed in this
Paragraph 4(e)(i) shall occur.

                      (ii) No increase or decrease in the Conversion Rate
shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
of at least one percent (1%); provided, however, that any adjustments which by
reason of this Paragraph 4(e)(ii) are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations
under this Paragraph 4(e) shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100) of
a share.

                      (iii) The Corporation may retain a firm of independent
public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors
(who may be the regular accountants employed by the Corporation) to make any
computation required by this Paragraph 4(e), and a certificate signed by such
firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.

                      (iv) In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph 4(e), the holder of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the
Corporation, other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares
so receivable upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock
contained in this Paragraph 4.

                      (v) In addition to the adjustments provided for in
this Paragraph 4(e), the Corporation may modify the Conversion Rate in a manner
which will increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock if the Corporation believes that such
adjustment is necessary or desirable in order to avoid adverse Federal income
tax consequences to the holders of the Common Stock.

                  (f) Whenever the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as required
by the provisions of Paragraph 4(e) of this Statement, the Corporation shall
forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its
principal office and with its stock transfer agent, if any, an officer's
certificate showing the adjusted Conversion Rate, setting forth in reasonable
detail the facts requiring such adjustment. Each such officers certificate shall
be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by any holder of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock, and the Corporation shall. forthwith after each
such adjustment, mail a copy of such certificate by first class

                           (i) the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make
any distribution upon Common Stock (other than a regular cash dividend payable
out of retained earnings or cash); or

                           (ii) the Corporation shall offer to the holders of
Common Stock for subscription or purchase by them any share of any class or any
other rights; or

the Corporation consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another
corporation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the property
and assets of the Corporation to another corporation, or voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation shall be

fast class mail to the record holders of Series A Preferred Stock at least ten
(10) days prior to the date specified in (A) or (B) below, as the case may be, a
notice containing a brief description of the proposed action and stating the
date on which (A) a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or rights, or (B) such reclassification, consolidation, merger,

other securities shall receive cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up and the provisions of Paragraph 4(h)
below shall be applicable..

                  (h) In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or
other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or in
case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation into another corporation
(other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger the Corporation is the
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification,
capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock or
the class issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) or in case of
any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the
Corporation as an entirety, the Corporation shall, as a condition precedent to
such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that the holder of
the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter by converting the
Series A Preferred Stock, to receive the land and amount of shares of stock and
other securities and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital
reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a
holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which might have been received
upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such
provision shall include provision for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this

                  (i) No fractional shares or script representing fractional
shares shall be issued upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock. If, upon conversion of any share of Series A Preferred Stock as an
entirety, the holder would, except for the provisions of this Paragraph 4(i) be
entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock, then an amount equal to
such fractional share multiplied by the fair market value per share of the
Common Stock on the last business day prior to the date of conversion shall be
distributed to the holder. The fair market value per share shall mean the
closing price (or average of the closing high bid and low asked prices if there
is no sale on such date) on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York or American
Stock Exchange, if the Common Stock is admitted to trading or listed on such
market or stock exchange, or if not so listed or admitted to trading, the
average of the reported highest bid and lowest asked prices as reported by
Nasdaq or the National Quotation Bureau. Inc. or similar reporting service
selected by the Board of Directors, or if no such prices are available, the
current market value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors.

                  (j) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available, free from preemptive right out of its authorized but unissued Common
Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the
conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

                  (k) The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall, when so issued, be duly and validly authorized and
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         5.       Liquidation Rights

         (a) (i) In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive One Dollar ($1.00) per share, plus
declared and unpaid dividends before any payment or distribution upon
dissolution, liquidation or winding up shall be made on any series or class of
capital stock ranking junior to Series A Preferred Stock as to such payment or
distribution, and after all such payments or distributions have been made on any
series or class of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock
as to such payment or distribution.

                  (ii) After payment of the preference set forth in Paragraph
6(a)(i) of this Statement of Designation the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall have no further rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

         (b) The sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of
stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the
property and assets of the Corporation shall be deemed a voluntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation for purposes of this Paragraph 5.
The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with any other
corporation or the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with
the Corporation, shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding
up, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Paragraph 6; provided,
however, that the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into another
corporation shall be deemed to be a voluntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Corporation for the purposes of this Paragraph 5, unless
either (i) the holders of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding
upon the effectiveness of such merger or consolidation shall have

          ---------------                                     -----   ----

the right, upon such effectiveness, to receive for each share of Series A
Preferred Stock held by them upon such effectiveness, one share of preferred
stock of the resulting or surviving corporation, which share shall have, to the
extent practicable, dividend and voting rights and rights upon dissolution,
liquidation or winding up reasonably equivalent to those of such share of Series
A Preferred Stock, and shall have the right to convert such share of preferred
stock into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property
receivable upon such merger or consolidation, as the case may be, by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred
Stock was convertible immediately prior to such merger or consolidation, subject
to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 4 of this Statement, (ii) each holder of
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive upon the
effectiveness of such merger or consolidation in exchange for such holders
shares of Series A Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property receivable upon such merger or consolidation, as the case
may be, as such holder would have received had it converted its Series A
Preferred stock into Common Stock immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation, or (iii) the merger or consolidation was approved by the holders
of a minority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding either
at a meeting of such stockholders or by a written consent in lieu of a meeting.

dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such
holders are entitled pursuant to Paragraph 5(a)(i) of this Statement, no such
distribution shall be made on account of any shares of any other class or series
of capital stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless
proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable
amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled
upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

                  (d) Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Corporation, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding
shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to its stockholders all amounts to which such holders are entitled
pursuant to Paragraph 5(a)(i) of this Statement before any payment shall be made
to the holders of any class of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior
upon liquidation to the Series A Preferred Stock.

        6. Rank of Series. For purposes of this Statement, any stock of any
series or class of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank:

                  (a) prior to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, if
the holders of such class or classes shall be entitled to the receipt of
dividends or of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the Corporation, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

          ---------------                                     -----   ----

                  (b) on a parity with shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as to
dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be,
whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or
liquidation prices per share or sinking fired provisions, if any, be different
from those of Series A Preferred Stock, if the holders of such stock shall be
entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, as the case may be,
in proportion to their respective dividend rates or liquidation prices, without
preference or priority, one over the other, as between the holders of such stock
and the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and

                (c) junior to shares of Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends
or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, if such
class shall be Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock or if the holders of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or
of amounts distributable upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Corporation, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of
shares of such class or classes.

        7. No Preemptive Rights. No holder of shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall, as such holder, be entitled as of right to purchase or subscribe
for any shares of stock of the Corporation of any class or any series now or
hereafter authorized or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any
shares, or any warrants, options, rights or other instruments evidencing rights
to subscribe for or purchase any such shares, whether such shares, securities,
warrants, options, rights or other instruments be unissued or issued and
thereafter acquired by the Corporation.

        8. Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Corporation may appoint a transfer
agent and registrar for the issuance, transfer and conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock and for the payment of dividends to the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock.

        9. Creation of Other Preferred Stock. The Corporation is not restricted
from creating other series of Preferred Stock which may be senior or junior to
or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and/or on the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Corporation without the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

        IN WITNESS WHEREAS, the undersigned, being all of the directors of the
Corporation, have executed this Certificate for and on behalf of the Corporation
this 28th day of April 1999.
