CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
BEFORE THE ISSUANCE OF CLASS OR SERIES
FOR NW TECH CAPITAL, INC.

Pursuant to the provisions of NRS 78.1955 of the Nevada Statutes, NW TECH CAPITAL, INC., a Nevada profit corporation adopts the following Certificate of Designation.

There is hereby designated a series of the preferred stock to be called the “Series F Preferred Convertible Stock” to consist of 10,000,000 shares to be issued at $1.00 per share and to have the following terms and conditions:

3.
Dividends. Except as provided herein, the holder of outstanding shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an annual rate of 8.0% in form of cash, stock, as dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. If shares of the Series F Preferred Stock or the common stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”) are to be issued as a dividend, any such shares shall be issued at Market Value. “Market Value” for the Common Stock for the purposes of the Certificate of Designation shall mean the average of the bid and ask prices for the Common Stock for the five business days preceding the declaration of a dividend by the Board of Directors. “Market Value” with respect to any shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be as determined by the Board of Directors, whose decision shall be final and binding on all parties.

4.
Redemption Rights. Subject to the applicable provisions of Nevada law, the Company, at the option of its directors, and with the consent of a majority of the stockholders of the Series F Preferred Stock, may at any time or from time to time redeem the whole or any part of the outstanding Series F Preferred Stock. Any such redemption shall be pro rata with respect to all of the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock. Upon redemption the Company shall pay for each share redeemed the Market Value, payable in cash. Such redemption shall be on an all-or-nothing basis.

At least 30 days previous notice by mail, postage prepaid, shall be given to the holders of record of the Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed, such notice to be addressed to each such stockholder at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company or given by such holder to the Company for the purpose of notice, or if no such address appears or is given, at the place where the principal office of the Company is located. Such notice shall state the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price, and shall call upon the holder to surrender to the Company on said date at the place designated in the notice such holder’s certificate or certificates representing the shares to be redeemed. On or after the date fixed for redemption and stated in such notice, each holder of Series F Preferred Stock called for redemption shall surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to the Company at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the redemption price. If less than all shares represented by any such surrendered certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. If such notice of redemption shall have been duly given, and if on the date fixed for redemption funds necessary for the redemption shall be available therefore, notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any Series F Preferred Stock called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, the dividends with respect to the shares so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, the dividends with respect to the shares so called for redemption shall forthwith after such date cease and determine, except only the right of the holders to receive the redemption price without interest upon surrender of their certificates therefore.

If, on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of Series F Preferred Stock, the Company deposits, with any bank or trust company as a trust fund, a sum sufficient to redeem, on the date fixed for redemption thereof, the shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust company to give the notice of redemption thereof (or to complete the giving of such notice if theretofore commenced) and to pay, or deliver, on or after the date fixed for redemption or prior thereto, the redemption price of the shares to their respective holders upon the surrender of their share certificates, then from and after the date of the deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption), the shares so called shall be redeemed and any dividends on those shares shall cease to accrue after the date fixed for redemption. The deposit shall constitute full payment of the shares to their holders, and from and after the date of the deposit the shares shall no longer be outstanding and the holders thereof shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except the right to receive from the bank or trust company payment of the redemption price of the shares without interest, upon the surrender of their certificates therefore. Any interest accrued on any funds so deposited shall be the property of, and paid to, the Company. If the holders of Series E Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not, at the end of six years from the date fixed for redemption thereof, have claimed any funds so deposited, such bank or trust company shall thereupon pay over to the Company such unclaimed funds, and such bank or trust company shall thereafter be relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof to such holders and such holders shall look only to the Company for payment of the redemption price.

11.
Liquidation Rights. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the Market Value (the “Liquidation Rate”) before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Common Stock, or any other class of capital stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series F Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the payment or distribution of the Liquidation Rate shall be made pari passu with the payment or distribution of any liquidation rights of the holders of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock.

 
d.
The sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the property and assets of the Company shall be deemed a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company for purposes of the Paragraph 3, but the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with the Company shall not be deemed a dissolution, liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for purposes of this Paragraph 3.

 
e.
After the payment to the holders of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts fixed by this Paragraph 3 for shares of the Series F Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.

 
f.
In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to this Paragraph 3, no distribution shall be made on account of any shares of a class or series of capital stock of the Company ranking on a parity with the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock, if any, upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock, ratably, in proportion to the full distributive amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

12.
Conversion of Series F Preferred Stock. At any time after 6 months from date of issuance (the “Conversion Right Date”), the holder of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to convert any number of shares of the Series F Preferred Stock into shares of the Common Stock. Such right to convert shall commence as of the Conversion Right Date and shall continue thereafter for a period of 5 years, such period ending on the 5th anniversary of the Conversion Right Date. In the event that the holder of the Series F Preferred Stock elects to convert such shares into Common Stock, the holder shall have 60 days from the date of such notice in which to tender his shares of Series F Preferred Stock to the Company. Any such term shall be upon the other following terms and conditions:

Exhibit 4.3 (continued)
 
 
iv
Certain Conversion Limitations. The Payee may not convert an outstanding principal amount of this Note or accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the extent such conversion would result in the Payee, together with any affiliate thereof, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (as defined in Section XVII) and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Since the Payee will not be obligated to report to the Maker the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of Shares in excess of 4.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Payee or an affiliate thereof, the Payee shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether and the extent to which the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder. The Payee may waive the provisions of this Section upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Maker.

 
v
Market Price” means, with respect to any security for any period, that price which shall be computed as the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices for such security during the 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding such date of determination.
