THIRD:  ARTICLE SECOND of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation shall be amended in its entirety to include the designation of Series B Preferred Stock as follows:


“The aggregate number of shares which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 1,450,000,000 shares of capital, 1,250,000,000 shares of which shall be common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and 200,000,000 shares of which shall be preferred stock, par value $.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

 SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK


The Board of Directors of the Corporation desires, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to determine and fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to a class of said Preferred Stock to be designated as follows:


1.

Designation: Number of Shares.  The designation of said series of Preferred Stock shall be Series B Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred”). The number of designated shares of Series B Preferred stock shall be 10.

4.

Voting Rights.  Series B preferred Stock shall have the right to vote in any matter present before the common stock shareholders, and shall be notified of any such under the laws of Florida or the bylaws of the Company as such.  If at least on share of Series B Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, then the total aggregate issued shares of Series B Preferred stock at any given time, regardless of their number, shall have voting rights equal to two (2) times the sum of: i) the total number of shares of Common Stock which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting, plus ii) the total number of shares of any Preferred Stocks which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting. Each individual share of Series B Preferred Stock will therefore have its proportional vote of the Series B Preferred Stock as described under this subsection.


FOURTH:  The foregoing amendment was duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors on August 31, 2012 pursuant to a unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 607.0821 of the Florida Business Corporation Act.  


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, being the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, has executed these Articles of Amendment as of August 31, 2012.


CLEARTRONIC, INC.
