CTI/Strategica Preferred Stock Agreement 1/17/2005
-20-
any settlement entered into pursuant hereto and all reasonable legal and other
expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, prosecution or defense
of the matter) (collectively, "Losses"), which may be sustained or incurred by
Strategica Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or relating to

8.3. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.
(a) NOTICE OF CLAIM. Promptly, but in any event within thirty
(30) days after Strategica obtaining knowledge of any claim or demand which may
give rise to, or could reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification
hereunder (any such claim an "Indemnification Claim"), Strategica shall give
written notice to the Company of such Indemnification Claim (a "Notice of
Claim"). A Notice of Claim shall be given with respect to all Indemnification
Claims then known; provided, however, that the failure to timely give a Notice
of Claim to the Company shall not relieve the Company from any liability that it
CTI/Strategica Preferred Stock Agreement 1/17/2005
-21-
may have to the Company hereunder to the extent that the Company is not
prejudiced by such failure. The Notice of Claim shall set forth the amount (or a
reasonable estimate) of the loss, damage or expense suffered, or which may be
suffered, by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Indemnification Claim and
a brief description of facts giving rise to such Indemnification Claim
(including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have
been served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other
document evidencing or asserting the same).
(b) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS.
(i) If the claim or demand set forth in the Notice of
Claim is a claim or demand asserted by a third party (a "Third Party Claim"),
the Company shall have fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period if an answer or
other response or filing with respect to the pleading served by the third party
is required prior to the 15th day) after the date of receipt by the Company of
the Notice of Claim (the "Notice Date") to notify Strategica in writing of the
election by the Company to defend the Third Party Claim on behalf of Strategica.
(ii) If the Company elects to defend a Third Party
Claim on behalf of Strategica, Strategica shall make available to the Company
and its agents and representatives all records and other materials in its
possession which are reasonably required in the defense of the Third Party Claim
and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6, the Company shall
pay any expenses payable in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim
as they are incurred (whether incurred by Strategica or the Company).
(iii) In no event may the Company settle or comprise
any Third Party Claim without Strategica's consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
CTI/Strategica Preferred Stock Agreement 1/17/2005
-22-
(iv) If the Company elects to defend a Third Party
Claim, Strategica shall have the right to participate in the defense of the
Third Party Claim, at Strategica's expense (and without the right to
indemnification for such expense under this Agreement); provided, however, that
subject to the limitations sets forth in this Section 5, the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel retained by Strategica shall be at the expense of the
Company if (A) the use of the counsel chosen by the Company to represent
Strategica would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (B) the
parties to such proceeding include both Strategica and the Company and there may
be legal defenses available to Strategica; (C) within ten (10) days after being
advised by the Company of the identity of counsel to be retained to represent
Strategica, Strategica shall have objected to the retention of such counsel for
valid reasons (which shall be stated in a written notice to the Company), and
the Company shall not have retained different counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Company; or (D) the Company shall authorize Strategica to retain separate
counsel at the expense of the Company.
(v) Subject to the limitations set forth in this
Section 5, if the Company does elect to defend a Third Party Claim, or does not
defend a Third Party Claim in good faith, Strategica shall have the right, in
addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the sole and
exclusive expense of the Company, to defend such Third Party Claim; provided,
however, that such expenses shall be payable by the Company only if and when
such Third Party Claim becomes payable.
(vi) To the extent that Strategica recovers on a
Third Party Claim, the amount of such recovery (after deduction of all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim) shall reduce,
dollar-for-dollar, the indemnification obligation otherwise owing by the
Company.
CTI/Strategica Preferred Stock Agreement 1/17/2005
-23-
(c) COOPERATION IN DEFENSE. Strategica shall cooperate with
the Company in the defense of a Third Party Claim. Subject to the foregoing, (i)
Strategica shall not have any obligation to participate in the defense of or to
defend any Third Party Claim, and (ii) Strategica's defense of or its
participation in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall not in any way
diminish or lessen its right to indemnification as provided in this Agreement.
(d) PERIODIC PAYMENTS. Any indemnification required in this
Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments during the investigation or defense
as and when bills are received or costs, disbursements or expenses incurred.
(e) STRATEGICA INDEMNIFIED PARTY. As used in this Section 8.3
"Strategica" shall include any Strategica Indemnified Party.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
COMPUTERIZED THERMAL IMAGING, INC.
Pursuant to the Nevada General Corporation Law Section 78.1955, the
undersigned, being an officer of COMPUTERIZED THERMAL IMAGING, INC., a Nevada
corporation (the "COMPANY"), does hereby certify that the following resolution
was adopted by the unanimous consent of the Company's board of directors (the
"BOARD") authorizing the creation and issuance of 3,000,000 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock:
RESOLVED, that pursuant to authority expressly granted to and vested in
the Board by the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company, the
Board hereby creates 3,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of
the Company and authorizes the issuance thereof, and hereby fixes the
designation thereof, and the voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereon (in addition to the designation, preferences
and relative, participating and other special rights, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereof, set forth in the Articles of Incorporation,
as amended, of the Company, which are applicable to the preferred stock, if any)
as follows:
1. DESIGNATION. The series of preferred stock shall be designated and
known as "SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK" (the "SERIES A PREFERRED
STOCK"). The number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be
3,000,000.
2. CONVERSION RIGHTS. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible
into the common stock, $0.0001 par value, of the Company ("COMMON STOCK") as
follows:
(a) OPTIONAL CONVERSION. Subject to and upon compliance with
the provisions of this Section 2, a holder of any shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock (a "HOLDER") shall have the right, at such Holder's option at
any time, to convert any of such shares of the Series A Preferred Stock held by
the Holder into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock at the
then Conversion Rate (as defined herein).
(b) CONVERSION RATE. Each share of the Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible into the number of shares of the Common Stock available as
shall be calculated by applying the following formula, as of the date of
conversion:
Number of Shares of
Series A Preferred Stock Outstanding x Q o/o Conversion Price
------------------------------------ then in effect
3,000,000
Q = The total dollar amount (up to a maximum of $7,000,000) equal to
the sum of (a) net capital (excluding transaction costs, which may include, but
are not limited to, commissions, placement agent fees, legal, accounting and
financial advisory expenses and regulatory expenses) actually received by the
Company in equity or debt from investors introduced to the Company by Strategica
Management, LLC ("STRATEGICA") and/or directly from Strategica and/or its
affiliates pursuant to the terms of a Financial Advisory Agreement dated January
11, 2005 by and between Strategica and the Company, and (b) increased
shareholders' equity, as reasonably determined by the Company and its
independent accountants in accordance with generally accepted U. S. accounting
principles, consistent with the Company's historical practices, resulting from a
stock acquisition, asset acquisition, merger or other business combination with
an entity introduced to the Company by Strategica (collectively, the "CAPITAL
AMOUNT").
Conversion Price = $.075, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section
2(d) hereof.
(c) MECHANICS OF CONVERSION. The Holder may exercise the
conversion right specified in Section 2(a) by giving written notice to the
Company at any time that the Holder elects to convert a stated number of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock, and by surrendering the certificate or certificates
representing the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed to the
CTI/Strategica Preferred Stock Agreement 1/17/2005
-29-
Company or in blank, to the Company at its principal office (or at such other
office as the Company may designate by written notice, postage prepaid, to the
Holder) at any time during its usual business hours, together with a statement
of the name or names (with addresses) of the person or persons in whose name the
certificate or certificates for Common Stock shall be issued. Such conversion
shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on
the date of surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted,
and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record
holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date.
(d) CONVERSION RATE ADJUSTMENTS. The Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i) CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, LEASE OR CONVEYANCE.
In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation
of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, each share of the Series
A Preferred Stock shall after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale,
lease or conveyance be convertible into the number of shares of common stock or
other securities or property (including cash) to which the Common Stock issuable
(at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance) upon
conversion of such share of the Series A Preferred Stock would have been
entitled upon such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance; and in any
such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the
rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as
nearly as may reasonably be, to any shares of stock of other securities or
property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock.
(ii) STOCK DIVIDENDS, SUBDIVISIONS, RECLASSIFICATION,
OR COMBINATIONS. If the Company shall (A) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, (B) subdivide or
reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or (C) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares; the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date
for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision,
combination, or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the
Holder of any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion
after such date shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock that he would have owned or been entitled to receive had such Series A
Preferred Stock been converted immediately prior to such date. Successive
adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be made whenever any event specified
above shall occur.
(iii) ISSUANCES OF SECURITIES. If at any time the
Company shall (A) sell or otherwise issue shares of the Common Stock at a
purchase price per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such issuance, or (B) sell or otherwise issue the Company's securities
which are convertible into or exercisable for shares of the Company's Common
Stock at a conversion or exercise price per share less than the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then immediately upon such
issuance or sale, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted to a price equal to the
purchase price of the shares of Common Stock or the conversion or exercise price
per share of the Company's securities sold or issued.
(iv) EXCLUDED TRANSACTIONS. No adjustment to the
Conversion Price shall be required under this Section 2(d) in the event of the
issuance of shares of Common Stock by the Company upon the conversion or
exercise of or pursuant to any outstanding stock options or stock option plan
now existing or hereafter approved by the Holders, which stock options have an
exercise or conversion price per share of less than the Conversion Price.
(e) APPROVALS. If any shares of the Common Stock to be
reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any
federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon
conversion, then the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible
endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be. If, and so
long as any Common Stock into which the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock
are then convertible is listed on any national securities exchange, the Company
will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange, list and keep listed on such
exchange, upon official notice of issuance, all shares of such Common Stock
issuable upon conversion
(f) VALID ISSUANCE. The Company shall use its good faith
efforts to have available and to take such actions as may be reasonably
necessary to cause to be available, a sufficient number of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock as may be necessary to effect the conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon
conversion of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will, upon issuance, be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes,
liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof, and the Company shall
take no action that will cause a contrary result.
CTI/Strategica Preferred Stock Agreement 1/17/2005
-30-
3. LIQUIDATION.
(a) LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and
before any distribution of assets shall be made to the holders of any Common
Stock, an amount equal to $.075 per share of Series A Preferred Stock held by
such Holder and no more.
(b) RATABLE DISTRIBUTION. If upon any liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company, the net assets of the Company to be distributed
among the Holders shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to the Holders
of such Series A Preferred Stock, then all remaining net assets of the Company
after the provision for the payment of the Company's debts shall be distributed
ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be
entitled to receive among the Holders.
4. VOTING RIGHTS. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to one hundred (100) votes. Further, so long as any shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without
first obtaining the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the
then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (i) alter or change the
rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock as outlined
herein, or (ii) create any new class of series of capital stock senior to Series
A Preferred Stock ("SENIOR SECURITIES"), or (iii) alter or change the rights,
preferences or privileges of any Senior Securities so as to adversely affect the
Series A Preferred Stock.
5. DIVIDENDS. The Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled to receive dividends.
6. REDEMPTION. For a period commencing upon the fifth anniversary of
the original issue date of the Series A Preferred Stock and ending ninety (90)
days thereafter, the Company may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30)
days' written notice given to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock,
redeem all of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding at a redemption
price of $.075 per share, provided that such redemption right shall only be
exercisable if the Capital Amount raised prior to the fifth anniversary of the
original issued date of the Series A Preferred Stock is less than $3,500,000.00.
7. EXCLUSION OF OTHER RIGHTS. Except as may otherwise be required by
law, the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any preferences
or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, other than those
specifically set forth in this resolution (as such resolution may be amended
from time to time) and in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended.
8. HEADINGS OF SUBDIVISIONS. The headings of the various subdivisions
hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the
interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
9. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any right, preference or limitation
of the Series A Preferred Stock set forth in this certificate of designation
("CERTIFICATE") (as such Certificate may be amended from time to time) is
invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or
public policy, all other rights, preferences and limitations set forth in this
Certificate (as so amended) which can be given effect without the invalid,
unlawful or unenforceable right, preference or limitation shall, nevertheless,
remain in full force and effect, and no right, preference or limitation herein
set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other such right, preference or
limitation unless so expressed herein.
10. STATUS OF REACQUIRED SHARES. No shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock which have been issued and reacquired in any manner or converted into
Common Stock may be reissued, and all such shares shall be returned to the
status of undesignated shares of preferred stock of the Company.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate to be
signed in its name and on its behalf by its President and Chief Executive
Officer and attested to this 11 day of January, 2005.
