SHARES OF STOCK

A. Authorized Capital Stock. The aggregate number of shares that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is two hundred fifty million (250,000,000), consisting of one hundred million (150,000,000) shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, fifty million (50,000,000) shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share and fifty million (50,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are sometimes referred to in these Articles as the “Common Stock”. References to these “Articles” shall be understood to mean these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation as set forth herein and as amended from time to time hereafter in accordance with the provisions of these Articles and of applicable law.

B. Outstanding Shares. Upon the filing of these Articles, each share of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the filing of these Articles shall be converted into four tenths of a share of Class A Common Stock, and each share of Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the filing of these Articles shall be converted into four tenths of a share of Class B Common Stock.

C. Preemptive Rights. Unless subsequently granted by the Board of Directors, shareholders of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall not have the preemptive right to acquire unissued shares or securities convertible into such shares or carrying a right to subscribe to or acquire shares. Such provisions shall apply to both shares outstanding and to newly issued shares.

D. Dividends. No dividends or any other distribution may be paid or declared or set aside for Class B Common Stock unless an equal amount is paid or declared or set aside for the Class A Common Stock, and no dividends or any other distribution may be paid or declared or set aside for Class A Common Stock unless an equal amount is paid or declared or set aside for the Class B Common Stock. In the case of dividends or other distributions payable in Common Stock of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, such distributions or dividends shall be in the same proportion with respect to each class of Common Stock, but only shares of Class A Common Stock (or common stock of a subsidiary which shall be identical in all material respects to Class A Common Stock) shall be distributed with respect to Class A Common Stock and only shares of Class B Common Stock (or common stock of a subsidiary which shall be identical in all material respects to Class B Common Stock) shall be distributed with respect to Class B Common Stock. In the case of any combination or reclassification of Class A Common Stock, the shares of Class B Common Stock shall also be combined or reclassified so that the relationship between the number of shares of Class B Common Stock and Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately following such combination or reclassification shall be the same as the relationship between the Class B Common Stock and the Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such combination or reclassification.

E. Voting. Each holder of Class A Common Stock shall have one (1) vote on all matters submitted to shareholders for each share of Class A Common Stock standing in the name of such holder on the books of the Corporation. Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall have ten (10) votes on all matters submitted to shareholders for each share of Class B Common Stock standing in the name of such holder on the books of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided in these Articles or as otherwise provided by law, all shares of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to vote shall vote as a single group on all matters submitted to the shareholders. The Corporation may not issue any additional shares of Class B Common Stock (except in connection with stock splits and stock dividends) and the provisions of these Articles relating to the rights of the Class B Common Stock may not be amended unless and until such action is authorized by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Class A Common Stock and of Class B Common Stock entitled to vote, each voting separately as a class. In the election of directors, cumulative voting shall not be allowed.

F. Quorum. At all meetings of the shareholders, the holders of a majority of the votes eligible to be cast shall constitute a quorum. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes eligible to be cast on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders unless the vote of a greater number or voting by groups is required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act or these Articles.

G. Liquidation. In the event of either an involuntary or a voluntary liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, the holders of Class A and Class B Common Stock shall share ratably all assets and surplus funds of the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock.

H. Restrictions on Transfer of the Class B Common Stock. No holder of record of Class B Common Stock (a “Class B Holder”) may transfer, and the Corporation shall not register the transfer of, such shares of Class B Common Stock, whether by sale, assignment, gift, bequest, appointment or otherwise, except to a Permitted Transferee, as defined below.

2. Transfer of Control. If by reason of any change in the ownership of the stock or partnership interests of a Permitted Transferee that is a corporation or partnership, such corporation or partnership would no longer qualify as a Permitted Transferee as set forth in Section H(1)(a) above, then all shares of Class B Common Stock then held by such corporation or partnership shall, upon the election of the Corporation given by written notice to such corporation or partnership, without further action, be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock effective upon the date of the giving of such notice.

In the event of foreclosure or other similar action by the pledgee, such pledged shares of Class B Common Stock may only be transferred to a Permitted Transferee of the pledgor or converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, as the pledgee may elect.

4. Interpretations.

6. Record Holder. Shares of Class B Common Stock shall not be registered in “street” or “nominee” name. The Corporation shall note on the certificates for shares of Class B Common Stock the restrictions on transfer imposed by this Section H.

I. Conversion Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section I, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible at any time or from time to time at the option of a Class B Holder into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock. At any time when the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock approve the conversion of all or part of the Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, then each outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock designated for conversion shall be converted into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on the date approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.

1. Conversion Procedure. A Class B Holder desiring conversion shall (a) surrender the certificate or certificates evidencing the Class B Common Stock being converted, duly endorsed by such Class B Holder to the Corporation or in blank or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to the Corporation, and (b) give written notice to the Corporation that such Class B Holder elects to convert such Class B Holder’s Class B Common Stock. As soon as practicable after receipt of such notice and deposit of such certificate, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to the converting Class B Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock to which the Class B Holder shall be entitled pursuant to this

Section I. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made as of the close of business on the date upon which the Corporation receives such notice and deposit, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Class B Common Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on such date.

2. Reservation of Class A Common Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the purpose of issuing Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. All shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issued upon conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock, will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable. All shares of Class B Common Stock converted into Class A Common Stock shall be cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock.

J. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized, at any time and from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series or classes, with such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights as shall be expressed in articles of amendment to these Articles, which shall be adopted by the Board of Directors and shall be effective without shareholder action, as provided in Section 7-106-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall not issue or authorize any voting Preferred Stock without the consent or approval of a majority of the Class B Common Stock.
