PURSUANT TO SECTION 78.195
OF THE NEVADA REVISED STATUTES
I, Sheri Lofgren, hereby certify that I am the Chief Financial Officer of Boxlight Corporation (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the Nevada Revised Statutes, and further do hereby certify:
That pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Board on July 30, 2015, adopted the following resolutions creating a series of preferred stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which have been issued:
RESOLVED, that the Board designates the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series, and fixes the rights, powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such series in addition to any set forth in the Articles of Incorporation as follows:
TERMS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
1. Definitions; Designation and Number.
1.1. Unless otherwise defined elsewhere herein, all capitalized terms used in this Certificate of Designation shall have the meaning as such terms are defined on Exhibit II attached hereto and made a part hereof.
1.2. A series of Preferred Stock, designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.0001 per share, is hereby established. The number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares.
1.3. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be issued to Vert Capital Corp. on the effective date of the Corporation’s Form S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC, as registration no. 333-204811 (the “Effective Date”), to be held in trust by Vert Capital Corp. for a period of one year from such Effective Date. Upon the automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, as provided below and the effectiveness of a subsequent registration statement registering shares of Class A Common Stock for resale, Vert Capital Corp. shall distribute an aggregate of 326,158 shares of Class A Common Stock to the former minority stockholders of Logical Choice Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“LCC”).
2. Rank. As to the payment of cash dividends or a distribution of assets upon a Liquidating Event (as defined in Exhibit II), all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank (a) senior to the Corporation’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) and any other class of securities which is specifically designated as junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, with the Common Stock, the “Junior Securities”); (b) pari passu with any then outstanding shares of the Corporation’s (i) $0.0001 par value Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), (ii) Class C Preferred Stock, and (iii) series of preferred stock hereafter created which expressly state, by their terms, as on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, (collectively, the “Pari Passu Securities”); and (iii) junior to any notes, convertible securities or class or series of capital stock of the Corporation which are hereafter issued for the purpose of consummating a Private Placement Financing (as defined in Section 6.3, below) and are expressly ranked, by their terms, as senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Senior Securities”).

3. Dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock shall not pay any dividends.
4. Liquidation Preference. Upon a Liquidating Event (as defined in Exhibit II, attached hereto) which occurs prior to the IPO, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will have an aggregate liquidation preference equal to its Series A Preferred Stock Original Issue Price.
5. Voting Rights. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary herein, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not vote.
6. Conversion.
6.1. Automatic Conversion. Upon a date which shall be the later to occur of (a) one year following the Effective Date, or (b) the effective date of a subsequent registration statement registering shares of Class A Common Stock for resale (the “Conversion Date”) , all and not less than all of the Series A Preferred Stock shall convert into an aggregate of 326,158 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation (the “Series A Conversion Shares”). The pro-rata share of the Series A Conversion Shares of each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Series A Conversion Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Vert Capital for the benefit of each former minority stockholder of LCC prior to the Going Public Event (excluding any issued shares of Series A Preferred Dividend Stock) and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Conversion Date.
6.2 Reservation of Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.
6.2. Fractional Shares. No fractional share shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share.
7. Reissuance of Series A Preferred Stock. No share or shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.
-2- |
8. Redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable.
9. Notice. Except as may otherwise be provided for herein, all notices referred to herein shall be in writing, and all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given and received upon the earlier of receipt of such notice or four Business days after the mailing of such notice, if sent by registered mail, with postage pre-paid, addressed: (a) if to the Corporation, to the attention of its corporate secretary or to an agent of the Corporation designated as permitted by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended; (b) if to any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, to such holder at the address of such holder as listed in the stock record books of the Corporation (which may include the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent); or (c) to such other address as the Corporation or holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.
10. Amendment. This Certificate of Designation or any provision hereof may be amended by obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose (or written consent without a meeting in accordance with the DGCL) of (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class, and (ii) with such other stockholder approval, if any, as may then be required pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Certificate of Incorporation.
11. Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any of its subsidiaries to, take any of the following corporate actions without first obtaining the affirmative vote, at a meeting duly called for such purpose (or written consent without a meeting in accordance with the DGCL), of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class:
11.1. Adversely alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock;
11.2. issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, other than the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Dividend Stock; or
11.3. except in connection with a Private Placement Financings, issue any shares of Preferred Stock that rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock.

12. Miscellaneous.
12.1. Cancellation of Series A Preferred Stock.

12.2. Lost or Stolen Certificates.
