A Certificate of Designation of Rights, Powers, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of the 0% Series E Convertible Preferred
Stock of the Corporation (the &ldquo;<B>Certificate of Designation</B>&rdquo;) was filed with the Secretary of State for the State
of Nevada on November 30, 2017, and the Certificate of Designation requires correction as permitted by Section 78 of the NRS.</FONT></P>

The inaccuracy or defect of the Certificate of Designation is that the said Certificate of Designation incorrectly stated the
amount of Liquidation Funds (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) to be distributed to the holders of the Series E Convertible
Preferred Stock of the Corporation (the &ldquo;<B>Preferred Shares</B>&rdquo;) in the event of a Liquidation Event (as defined
in the Certificate of Designation.</FONT></P>

<U>Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up</U>. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in
cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its shareholders (the
&ldquo;<B>Liquidation Funds</B>&rdquo;), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of shares of Junior Stock, an amount
per Preferred Share equal to the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Preferred Shares into
Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such payment; provided, however, that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient
to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of Parity Stock, then each Holder and each holder of Parity Stock
shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder and such
holder of Parity Stock as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designation (or equivalent),
as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and all holders of shares of
Parity Stock. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by each of its Subsidiaries so as to enable,
to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with
this Section 10. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section 10 shall be paid or set apart for payment
before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company
to the holders of shares of Junior Stock in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section 10 applies</FONT></P>
