EXECUTION VERSION

THIS (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 4, 2011 (“Effective Date”), by and among Piedmont Mining Company, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“PMC”), Financial Resolutions of America Corporation, a California corporation (“FRAC”) (collectively, the “Companies” and individually, each a “Company”) and the shareholders of FRAC, as set forth on the signature pages to this Agreement (the “FRAC Shareholders"), with respect to the following facts:

RECITALS

A. PMC is a exploration and mining company and also has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Piedmont Gold Company, Inc. (“Piedmont Gold”), and PMC’s class of Common Stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

B. FRAC is a corporation that operates a judgment recovery business using its proprietary servicing platform.

C. FRAC Shareholders hold 100% of the outstanding shares and voting power of FRAC, in the amounts set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule 1 to this Agreement.

D. Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, FRAC intends to purchase, and PMC intends to sell a certain number of shares of PMC’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”), which shall contain voting rights that constitute over 66 2/3% of the voting power of PMC, to FRAC in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $479,290.

E. Following execution of this Agreement and FRAC’s purchase of the Series A Shares, PMC, with the advice, assistance, and cooperation of FRAC will conduct a private placement of PMC Series B Preferred Stock in amount of up to $10 million based, in part, on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event less than $10 million is raised in the private placement by March 31, 2011, FRAC will have the right to return the Series A Shares in exchange for PMC’s cancellation of the promissory note or proceed with the Exchange (as defined below).

F. Upon raising $10 million in the private placement or FRAC’s election to proceed after raising a minimum of $2 million, PMC will acquire from the FRAC Shareholders, and each FRAC Shareholder will sell and transfer to PMC, all of the shares of FRAC owned by them on the Closing Date (as defined below) in exchange for shares of Series C Preferred Stock of PMC (“Series C Preferred Stock”), convertible into shares of PMC Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth below.

G. Upon consummation of the Exchange (as defined below) PMC will have acquired FRAC's judgment recovery business and, in order to separate its current exploration and mining business from the judgment recovery business, PMC will spin-off its current exploration and mining operations and wholly-owned subsidiary, Piedmont Gold Company, Inc. (“Piedmont Gold”), by means of a dividend distribution of shares of Piedmont Gold Common Stock to the holders of PMC Common Stock prior to the Exchange (“PMC Dividend”).

H. It is also intended that as soon as practicable following the Exchange, PMC will take certain corporate actions to effectuate or cause to be effectuated an increase in its authorized common stock, a redomicile of PMC from North Carolina to Delaware (“Redomicile”), and a reverse stock split of PMC’s outstanding shares of common stock in a ratio of 1 for 78.376025 (“Reverse Stock Split”), subject to approval of holders entitled to vote on such matters.

I. It is intended that, for federal income tax purposes, the Exchange will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and a reorganization described in Section 368 of the Code, and as a result of which, among other things PMC will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares FRAC in exchange for Series C Preferred Stock.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 6.1 Authority and Validity. Each FRAC Shareholder has all requisite power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver, to perform its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed by the FRAC Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the FRAC Shareholder, enforceable against the FRAC Shareholder in accordance with its terms. No authorization, consent or approval of, notice to, or filing with, any public body or governmental authority or any other person is necessary or required in connection with the execution and delivery by the FRAC Shareholder of this Agreement or the performance by the FRAC Shareholder of its obligations hereunder.

Section 6.2 Validity. Upon the execution and delivery of each other document to which each FRAC Shareholder is a party (assuming due execution and delivery by each other party thereto) each such other document will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of such FRAC Shareholder, enforceable against such FRAC Shareholder in accordance with their respective terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally.

Section 6.3 No Breach or Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by each FRAC Shareholder of this Agreement and each other document to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and thereof, do not and will not conflict with any agreement to which such FRAC Shareholder is a party, or by which such FRAC Shareholder or such FRAC Shareholder's Assets are bound or affected.

Section 6.4 Consents and Approvals. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any Government Authority or any other Person is necessary to be obtained, made or given by each FRAC Shareholder in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such FRAC Shareholder of this Agreement or any other document to which it is a party or for the consummation by such FRAC Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 6.5 Title. FRAC shares to be delivered by each FRAC Shareholder in connection with the transactions contemplated herein are, and at the Closing will be owned, of record and beneficially, solely by such FRAC Shareholder, free and clear of any Lien and represent such FRAC Shareholder’s entire ownership interest in FRAC.

Section 6.6 Sophistication and Experience. Each FRAC Shareholder represents that it is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies such as PMC and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of the investment including the risk that it may lose its entire investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the securities of PMC (“PMC Shares”). In addition, each FRAC Shareholder is fully aware of: (i) the highly speculative nature of the investment in the PMC Shares; (ii) the financial hazards involved; (iii) the lack of liquidity of the PMC Shares and the restrictions on transferability of the PMC Shares; and (iv) the qualifications and backgrounds of the management of PMC and the business of PMC.

Section 6.7 No Government Review. Each FRAC Shareholder understands that neither the SEC nor any securities commission or other Governmental Authority of any state, country or other jurisdiction has approved the issuance of shares of PMC or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the shares of PMC or the Agreement or any of the other documents relating to the Exchange, or confirmed the accuracy of, determined the adequacy of, or reviewed the Agreement.

Section 6.8 Investment Intent. The PMC Shares are being acquired by each FRAC Shareholder for each FRAC Shareholder’s own account, for investment purposes only, not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and each FRAC Shareholder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. Each FRAC Shareholder further represents that the FRAC Shareholder does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or third person with respect to any of PMC Shares.

Section 6.9 Restrictions on Transfer. Each FRAC Shareholder understands that the PMC Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any foreign or state securities law, and may not be, directly or indirectly, sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act and registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an exemption therefrom. In any case where such an exemption is relied upon by each FRAC Shareholder from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the registration or qualification requirements of such state securities laws, each FRAC Shareholder shall furnish PMC with an opinion of counsel stating that the proposed sale or other disposition of such securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not result in any violation of any applicable state securities laws relating to the registration or qualification of securities for sale, such counsel and opinion to be satisfactory to PMC. Each FRAC Shareholder acknowledges that it is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the PMC Shares for an indefinite period of time, and that its overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth. Each FRAC Shareholder understands that it is acquiring restricted shares of PMC Shares and will have a restricted stock legend placed on its stock certificate, when issued in certificate form. In order to reflect the restrictions on disposition of the shares, the share certificates, when issued, to the FRAC Shareholders may be endorsed with restrictive legends, including a legend similar to the following legend:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THE SHARES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE. THEY MAY NOT BE MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR PMC THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH ACT AND OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER MAY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN OPINION AT THE HOLDER’S COST TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS PERMITTED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, WHICH OPINION MUST BE ACCEPTABLE TO PMC’S COUNSEL.

Section 6.10 Informed Investment. Each FRAC Shareholder has made such investigations in connection herewith as it deemed necessary or desirable so as to make an informed investment decision without relying upon PMC for legal or tax advice related to this investment. In making its decision to acquire the PMC Shares, each FRAC Shareholder has not relied upon any information other than information contained in this Agreement.

Section 6.11 Access to Information. Each FRAC Shareholder acknowledges that it has had access to and has reviewed all documents and records relating to PMC, including, but not limited to, SEC Documents which have been made available via SEC Xxxxx website, that it has deemed necessary in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to an investment in PMC; that it has had the opportunity to ask representatives of PMC certain questions and request certain additional information regarding the terms and conditions of such investment and the finances, operations, business and prospects of PMC and has had any and all such questions and requests answered to its satisfaction; and that based on the foregoing it understands the risks and other considerations relating to an investment in PMC.

Section 6.12 Reliance on Representations. Each FRAC Shareholder understands that the PMC Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration and/or public offering requirements of the U.S. federal and state securities laws and that PMC and FRAC are relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such FRAC Shareholder's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such FRAC Shareholder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such FRAC Shareholder to acquire the PMC Shares. Each FRAC Shareholder represents and warrants to PMC and FRAC that any information the FRAC Shareholder has heretofore furnished or furnishes herewith to PMC and FRAC is complete and accurate, and further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to PMC and FRAC immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to issuance of the PMC Shares. Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from PMC or FRAC, each FRAC Shareholder will provide such information and such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations to which either is subject.

Section 6.13 No General Solicitation. Each FRAC Shareholder is unaware of, and in deciding to participate in the transactions contemplated hereby is in no way relying upon, and did not become aware of the transactions contemplated hereby through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio or the internet, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.14 Placement and Finder’s Fees. No agent, broker, investment banker, finder, financial advisor or other person acting on behalf of the FRAC Shareholder or under its authority is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee, directly or indirectly, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and no person is entitled to any fee or commission or like payment in respect thereof based in any way on any agreements, arrangements or understanding made by or on behalf of the FRAC Shareholder.

Section 9.2 Indemnification by FRAC. Notwithstanding any other indemnification provision hereunder, FRAC and the FRAC Shareholders (each, the “Indemnifying Party”) shall, severally and jointly, indemnify and hold harmless PMC, its officers, directors, attorneys, accountants and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, judgments, assessments, losses, liabilities, damages or penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and related disbursements (collectively, “Claims”) suffered by such Indemnified Party resulting from or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the Indemnifying Party at the time they were made, and, except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date or time (which need only be true and correct as of such date or time), on and as of the Closing Date, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenants or agreements made by the Indemnifying Party, (iii) any misrepresentation made by the Indemnifying Party, in each case as made herein or in the Schedules or Exhibits annexed hereto or in any closing certificate, schedule or any ancillary certificates or other documents or instruments furnished by the Indemnifying Party pursuant hereto or in connection with the Exchange, (iv) the operations and liabilities of FRAC, whether known or unknown, arising out of any action, omission and/or period of time preceding the Closing Date, including but not limited to any taxes levied with respect to same.

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedures for Third-Party Claim.

(a) Upon obtaining knowledge of any Claim by a third party which has given rise to, or is expected to give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice (“Notice of Claim”) of such claim or demand to the Indemnifying Party, specifying in reasonable detail such information as the Indemnified Party may have with respect to such indemnification claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same). No failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless, except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have actually adversely affected the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend against, settle or satisfy any Claims for which the Indemnified Party entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) If the claim or demand set forth in the Notice of Claim given by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof is a claim or demand asserted by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days after the date on which Notice of Claim is given to notify Indemnified Party in writing of their election to defend such third party claim or demand on behalf of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or demand, Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives all records and other materials that are reasonably required in the defense of such third party claim or demand and shall otherwise cooperate with, and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense of, such third party claim or demand. So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending such third party claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, settle or compromise such third party claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third party claim or demand, at such Indemnified Party's own expense. In the event, however, that such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party could reasonably be expected to present counsel with a conflict of interest, then the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend such third party claim or demand or does not defend such third party claim or demand in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend such third party claim or demand; provided, however, that (i) such Indemnified Party shall not have any obligation to participate in the defense of, or defend, any such third party claim or demand; (ii) such Indemnified Party's defense of or its participation in the defense of any such third party claim or demand shall not in any way diminish or lessen the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under the agreements of indemnification set forth in this Article IX; and (iii) such Indemnified Party may not settle any claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) The Indemnifying Party and the other Indemnified Parties, if any, shall cooperate fully in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pre-trial in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to this Article VIII, including, but not limited to, by providing the other party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and other information.

(d) Except for third party claims being defended in good faith, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations under this Article IX in respect of a valid claim for indemnification hereunder that is not contested in good faith in cash within thirty (30) days after the date on which Notice of Claim is given.

Section 9.4 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have an indemnification claim against the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement that does not involve a claim by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party in writing and in reasonable detail. The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, such claim specified by the Indemnifying Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article IX and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand, or in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim is finally determined.

Section 9.5 Limitations on Indemnification. No claim for indemnification under this Article IX shall be asserted by, and no liability for such indemnify shall be enforced against, the Indemnifying Party to the extent the Indemnified Party has theretofore received indemnification or otherwise been compensated for such Claim. In the event that an Indemnified Party shall later collect any such amounts recovered under insurance policies with respect to any Claim for which it has previously received payments under this Article IX from the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party such amount recovered.

ARTICLE X

FINANCIAL RESOLUTIONS OF AMERICA CORPORATION

PROMISSORY NOTE

$479,290.00 Effective Date: March 4, 2011

For the value received, the undersigned, Financial Resolutions of America Corporation, a California corporation with a principal address of 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (the “Maker”), promises to pay to Piedmont Mining Company, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Holder”), with a principal address of 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, #000, Xxxx, XX 00000 or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, the principal sum of Four Hundred Seventy Nine Thousand Two Hundred Ninety Dollars ($479,290), with interest from the date hereof on unpaid principal at the rate of two percent (2%), simple interest per annum, based upon a 365 day year, (the “Interest Rate”).

1. The Note.

The principal balance of this promissory note (the “Note”), which is outstanding and unpaid from time to time, is referred to as the “Principal Amount.” This Note is being issued in connection with that certain (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Maker, Holder and certain shareholders of the Maker, and that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Maker and Holder, both with an effective date as of the date first written above. All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

2. Repayment.

The Principal Amount, together with the balance of unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder shall be due on the earlier of the following (“Due Date”): (i) May 30, 2011 or (ii) the date upon or after the occurrence of a Payment Event (as defined below). If a Due Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday, then such payment shall be the next business day following such Due Date. Maker hereunder shall pay all amounts of principal and interest payable in immediately available funds by cash, check or wire transfer. All payments shall be credited first to accrued but unpaid interest due under the Note, and second, to the reduction of the outstanding Principal Amount.

3. Prepayments.

Maker may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty by paying cash or other immediately available funds. Partial prepayments shall be credited (a) first toward accrued but unpaid interest due under this Note and (b) second toward the reduction of the outstanding Principal Amount.

4. Payment Event.

If one or more of the following events (each, a “Payment Event”) shall have occurred:

(a)	A closing of the Private Placement has occurred and resulted in proceeds of $10,000,000 or greater; or

(b)	A closing of the Private Placement has occurred and resulted in proceeds of $2,000,000 or greater and Maker has provided written notice to Holder of its intention to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of a Payment Event, the entire outstanding principal and unpaid interest of this Note will be due and payable immediately. It being the intention of the parties that a portion of the funds raised in the Private Placement be used to satisfy the obligations of Maker pursuant to this Note, the parties agree to cooperate and work together to ensure that that the funds received in connection with the Private Placement and paid in connection with this Note may be used solely for the payment or other satisfaction of the obligations and amounts owing by Holder to the individuals and entities set forth on Schedule 2 to the Exchange Agreement.

5. Other Provisions Relating to Interest and Charges.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note or in any agreement, document or instrument related to the transaction which this Note is a part: (a) the rates of interest and charges and the payments provided for herein and therein shall in no event exceed the rates and charges and the payments which would result in interest being charged at a rate equaling the maximum allowed by law; and (b) if, for any reason whatsoever, the holder hereof ever receives as interest (or as a charge in the nature of interest) in connection with the transaction of which this Note is a part an amount which would result in interest being charged at a rate exceeding the maximum allowed by law, such amount or portion thereof as would otherwise be excessive interest shall automatically be applied toward reduction of the unpaid principal balance then outstanding hereunder. Any such amount shall not be applied toward payment of interest (or toward payment of a charge in the nature of interest).

6. Governing Law.

This Note is delivered in the State of California and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to its choice of law rules.

7. Severability.

If for any reason one or more of the provisions of this Note or their application to any person or circumstances shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect or to any extent, such provisions shall nevertheless remain valid, legal and enforceable in all such other respects and to such extent as may be permissible. In addition, any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Note, but this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained therein.

8. Successors and Assigns; Transferability.

This Note inures to the benefit of Holder and binds Maker and its respective successors and assigns. This Note shall not be transferable or assignable, by operation of law or otherwise, by Maker or Holder without the express written consent of the other. Any transfer in violation of this provision shall be void ab initio.

9. Notice and Acknowledgment of Representative.

All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the address listed above.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note on the date first written above.

THIRD: Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation of this Corporation is amended to include the following:

Series C Preferred Stock

The Corporation shall designate a series of preferred stock, consisting of 1,000,000 shares, as Series C Preferred Stock which shall have the following designations, rights and preferences (“Series C Preferred”):

1.	Dividends. The holders of Series C Preferred shall have no rights to receive dividend distributions or to participate in any dividends declared by the Corporation to or for the benefit of the holders of its Common Stock.

2.	Definitions. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, the following definitions shall apply:

“Business Day” means a day in which a majority of the banks in the State of New York in the United States of America are open for business.

“Certificate of Amendment” means a Certificate of Amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of North Carolina, to, among other things, effect a Reverse Split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock.

“Common Stock” means the Corporation’s, no par value, common stock.

“Holder(s)” shall mean the person or entity in which the Series C Preferred is registered on the books of the Corporation.

“Restricted Shares” means shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock which are restricted from being transferred by the holder thereof unless the transfer is effected in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, which shares shall bear the following restrictive legend (or one substantially similar):

"The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities act. The securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless (i) they shall have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and any applicable state securities act, or (ii) that registration is not required under any such acts."

“Reverse Split” means a reverse stock split of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock which has been approved by a majority of the Corporation’s voting shares (which includes the voting rights of the Series C Preferred) subsequent to a filed Schedule 14A or Schedule 14C Information Statement.

3.	Liquidation Preference. The Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a liquidation preference in an amount of $1.00 per share prior to the holders of Common Stock in the event of liquidation.

4.	Conversion Rights. The Series C Preferred shall have the following conversion rights (the “Conversion Rights”):

Automatic Conversion. Upon the Effective Date of the Reverse Split (the “Automatic Conversion Date”), each share of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of the Corporation’s post-Reverse Split Common Stock (the “Automatic Conversion”), at the rate of Nine (9) post-Reverse Split share of the Company’s Common Stock for each One (1) share of Series C Preferred held by each Holder of Series C Preferred (the “Conversion Rate”), without any required action by the Holder thereof. As soon as practicable after the Automatic Conversion, each stock certificate (if any) evidencing ownership of the Series C Preferred shares (the “Series C Preferred Stock Certificate(s)”), shall be surrendered to the Corporation for exchange by the Holders thereof. Upon receipt of the Series C Preferred Stock Certificates, duly endorsed, or certifications confirming the ownership of such Series C Preferred Stock, the Corporation (itself, or through its transfer agent) shall promptly issue to the exchanging Holder that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted, under the Conversion Rate (the “Conversion Shares”). All Common Stock issued to the exchanging Holder will be issued as Restricted Shares.

In the event that the Series C Preferred Stock Certificates are not surrendered to the Corporation within Five (5) Business Days of the Automatic Conversion Date, each Series C Preferred Stock Certificate shall automatically, and without any required action by the Holders thereof be cancelled and terminated and the Conversion Shares shall be issued to the prior Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock Certificates pursuant to and in connection with the Conversion Rate and mailed to such Holders at their address of record as provided by such Holders to the Corporation. All Common Stock issued to the exchanging Holder will be issued as Restricted shares.

Taxes. The Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect to any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion in a name other than that in which the shares of the Series C Preferred so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

No Impairment. The Corporation will not through any reorganization, transfer of assets, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of Series C Preferred against impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4 shall prohibit the Corporation from amending its Articles of Incorporation with the requisite consent of its shareholders and the Board of Directors.

Fractional Shares. If any conversion of Series C Preferred would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating an individual Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to the Automatic Conversion), such fractional share shall be rounded to one whole share of Common Stock.

Voting. The shares of Series C Preferred shall have the same voting rights as those accruing to the Common Stock and shall vote that number of voting shares as are issuable upon conversion of such Series C Preferred that any Holder holds as of the record date of any such vote based on the Conversion Ratio. The voting rights of the Series C Preferred shall be applicable regardless of whether the Corporation has a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock then available to affect an Automatic Conversion. Each Holder of the Series C Preferred 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 Corporation. Unless otherwise required by law, the Series C Preferred shall vote with the Common Stock together as a class with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote.

6.	Dividends. The Holders of the Series C Preferred shall not be entitled to receive dividends paid on the Common Stock and the Series C Preferred shall not accrue any dividends.

7.	Redemption Rights. The shares of Series C Preferred shall not have or be subject to any redemption rights.

Protective Provisions. Subject to the rights of series of Series C Preferred which may from time to time come into existence, so long as any shares of Series C Preferred are outstanding, this Corporation shall not without first obtaining the approval (by written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred, voting together as a class:

(a)	Increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series C Preferred;

(b)	Effect an exchange, reclassification, or cancellation of all or a part of the Series C Preferred, including a reverse stock split (other than the Reverse Split), but excluding a stock split, so long as the Series C Preferred’s Conversion Rights are not diminished in connection therewith;

(c)

Effect an exchange, or create a right of exchange, of all or part of the shares of another class of shares into shares of Series C Preferred other than as provided herein or in any Share Exchange Agreement or related document entered into between the Corporation and the Holders of the Series C Preferred; or

(d)	Alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series C Preferred so as to affect adversely the shares of such series, including the rights set forth in this Certificate of Designation.

9.	Preemptive Rights. Holders of Series C Preferred and holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to any preemptive, subscription or similar rights in respect to any securities of the Corporation, except as specifically set forth herein or in any other document agreed to by the Corporation.

10.

Notices. In addition to any other means of notice provided by law or in the Corporation's Bylaws, any notice required by the provisions of this Certificate of Designation to be given to the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each Holder of record at such Holder's address appearing on the books of the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Certificate of Designation to be duly executed by its Chief Executive Officer as of this 3rd day of March 2011.
