Pursuant to the resolutions adopted by the Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors Without a Meeting effective November 11, 2013 (the “November 11, 2013 Consent”) the Board of Directors adopted resolutions establishing a series of Preferred Stock from its authorized shares of Preferred Stock, designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, consisting of Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares (the “Series B Stock”), with certain rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as set forth in this Certificate of Designation of Rights, Privileges, Preferences and Restrictions of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Gawk, Incorporated as follows:
1.0 Designation and Rank
A new series of Preferred Stock from the Corporation’s authorized shares of Preferred Stock is hereby created, designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, consisting of Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares (the “Series B Stock”), with certain rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as set forth in the November 2013 Consent

2.0 Dividend Rate and Rights
Holders of the Series B Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions with the holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock on an “as converted” basis when, as, and if declared by the Directors of the Corporation.
3.0 Conversion into Common Stock
3.1 Conversion. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof and subject to notice requirements of paragraph 3.2, at any time after Six (6) months from the date of issuance, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock. Each Share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the Common Stock of the Company on the basis of One (1) Series B Preferred Share for One and One Quarter (1.25) Common Shares (1:1.25) Each Share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into the Common Stock of the Company on the basis of One (1) Series B Preferred Share for One and One Quarter (1.25) Common Shares (1:1.25)

3.3 Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series B Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by rounding to the nearest whole share (a half share being treated as a full share for this purpose). Such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series B Stock the holder has at the time and is converting into Common Stock and such rounding shall apply to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon aggregate conversion. Before any holder shall be entitled to convert, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing Series B Stock to be converted, duly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the same. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after delivery of such certificates, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, issue and deliver to such holder of Series B Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series B Stock to be converted.
3.4 Adjustments to Conversion Price for Merger or Reorganization. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock become entitled to receive other stock or securities or property of another corporation for cash, or in the case of any conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another corporation, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series B Stock at least Thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of such event, a notice thereof and each such holder shall have the option to either (i) convert such holder’s shares of Series B Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this Paragraph 3 and thereafter receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property, or cash, as the case may be, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation deliverable upon conversion of such Series B Stock would have been entitled upon conversion pursuant to Section 8.1(a) hereof.

8.3 Distributions upon Sales or Liquidation for other than Securities. If any of the assets of the Corporation are to be distributed other than in cash under this Section, then the board of directors of the Corporation shall promptly engage independent competent appraisers to determine the value of the assets to be distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock. The Corporation shall, upon receipt of such appraiser’s valuation, give prompt written notice to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock or common Stock of the appraiser’s valuation.
