CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

AUDIOEYE, INC.

Pursuant to § 102 of the General Corporation Law 

of the State of Delaware

The undersigned, in order to form a corporation pursuant to Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify:

FIRST:  The name of the Corporation is “AudioEye, Inc.”

SECOND:  The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 160 Greentree Drive, Suite 101, in the City of Dover, County of Kent, Delaware.  The name of its registered agent at such address is National Registered Agents, Inc.

THIRD:  The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

FOURTH: Immediately upon filing of this Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, every 25 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such filing shall be combined and reconstituted as one share of the Corporation’s Common Stock. The split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be referred to as the “Reverse Split.”

The Reverse Split shall occur without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the holders thereof and whether or not certificates representing the holders’ shares prior to the Reverse Split are surrendered for cancellation.

No fractional interest in a share of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon the Reverse Split. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) held by a holder immediately prior to the Reverse Split shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the Reverse Split would result in the issuance of a fractional share. Any fractional share resulting from such aggregation of Common Stock upon the Reverse Split shall be rounded up and converted to the nearest whole share of Common Stock. The Corporation shall not be obliged to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Split unless and until the certificates evidencing the shares held by a holder prior to the Reverse Split are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.

The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 60,000,000, of which 50,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock of the par value of $.00001 per share and 10,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock of the par value of $.00001 per share.

A.       Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is expressly granted authority to issue shares of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Stock”), voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation.

B.       Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power. The powers, preferences and rights of the shares of Common Stock are as follows:

1.       Dividends. The holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Corporation which are by law available therefor, dividends payable either in cash, in property, or in shares of Common Stock.

2.       Voting Rights. At every annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, every holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of Common Stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation.

3.       Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding-Up. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of all outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to share ratably in the remaining net assets of the Corporation.

SEVENTH:  Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the by-laws of the Corporation shall otherwise provide.

EIGHTH:  A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

NINTH:  Except as may otherwise be specifically provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, no provision of this Certificate of Incorporation is intended by the Corporation to be construed as limiting, prohibiting, denying or abrogating any of the general or specific powers or rights conferred under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware upon the Corporation, upon its stockholders, bondholders and security holders, and upon its directors, officers and other corporate personnel, including, in particular, the power of the Corporation to furnish indemnification to directors and officers in the capacities defined and prescribed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the defined and prescribed rights of said persons to indemnification as the same are conferred wider the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.  The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, including, but not limited to Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all directors and officers of the Corporation and may, in the discretion of the board of directors, indemnify any and all other persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said Section or otherwise under Delaware law from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to or covered by said Section.  The indemnification provisions contained in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to winch those indemnified may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, resolution of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

TENTH:  Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation wider the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs.  If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all of the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.
