In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event-upon exercise of this Warrant.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES
OF GLOBAL RESOURCE CORPORATION
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be 10,000,000 with par value of $0.001 per share.
Section 2. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Nevada or by the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, the common stock with par value of $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and the Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have ten (10) times the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder converted all of its Series A Preferred Shares into Common Stock on the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record entitled to vote were determined (assuming for this purpose only that Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into fractional shares) and each holder of Common Stock shall have one vote per share of Common Stock held by such holder on the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record entitled to vote were determined.
Section 3. Conversion.
3.1 Conversion Procedure.
(a) At any time and from time to time, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may convert all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Shares (including any fraction of a share) held by such holder into the number of shares of Common Stock computed by (i) multiplying the number of Series A Preferred Shares to be converted by the sum of (x) the Original Purchase Price, and (ii) dividing the resulting product by the Conversion Price then in effect.
(b) Each conversion of Series A Preferred Shares will be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which the certificate or certificates representing the Series A Preferred Shares to be converted have been surrendered at the principal office of the Corporation. At such time as such conversion has been effected, the rights of the holder of such Series A Preferred Shares as such holder will cease and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon such conversion will be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby.
(c) As soon as possible after a conversion has been effected (but in any event within three (3) business days) the Corporation will deliver to the converting holder:
31
(i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the converting holder has specified; and
(ii) a certificate representing any Series A Preferred Shares which were represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion but which were not converted.
(d) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Preferred Shares will be made without charge to the holders of such Series A Preferred Shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock. Upon conversion of each Series A Preferred Share, the Corporation will take all such actions as are necessary in order to insure that the Common Stock issuable with respect to such conversion will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(e) If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.1(d), be deliverable upon any conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares, the Corporation, in lieu of delivering the fractional share therefore, may pay an amount to the holder thereof equal to the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board) of such fractional interest as of the date of conversion.
3.2 Subdivision or Combination of Stock. If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Corporation at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
3.3 Organic Change.
(a) Corporation Survives. Upon the consummation of an Organic Change (other than a transaction in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity) the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed modified, without payment of any additional consideration therefore, so as to provide that upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Shares following the consummation of such Organic Change the holder of such Series A Preferred Shares shall have the right to acquire and receive (in lieu of or in addition to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable prior to the Organic Change) such shares of stock, securities or assets as such holder would have received if such holder had converted its Series A Preferred Shares into Common Stock immediately prior to such Organic Change, in each case giving effect to any adjustment of the Conversion Price made after the date of consummation of the Organic Change. All other terms of the Series A Preferred Stock shall remain in full force and effect following such an Organic Change. The provisions of this Section 3.3(a) shall similarly apply to successive Organic Changes.
32
(b) Corporation Does Not Survive. The Corporation shall not enter into an Organic Change that is a transaction in which the Corporation is not the surviving entity unless the surviving entity shall issue new securities, without payment of any additional consideration therefore, with terms that provide that upon the conversion of such securities following the consummation of such Organic Change, the holder of such securities shall have the right to acquire and receive (in lieu of or in addition to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable prior to the Organic Change) such shares of stock, securities or assets as such holder would have received if such holder had converted its Series A Preferred Shares into Common Stock immediately prior to such Organic Change, in each case giving effect to any adjustment of the Conversion Price of such new securities made after the date of consummation of the Organic Change on an equivalent basis to the adjustments provided for the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price herein. All other terms of the new securities shall be equivalent to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock provided for herein. The provisions of this Section 3.3(b) shall similarly apply to successive Organic Changes.
3.4 Notice. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of any Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 3, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Prices at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.
3.5 Mandatory Conversion. If the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding shall so elect, by vote or written consent, then the Corporation shall require the conversion of, and the holders shall convert, all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock.
3.6 No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, merger, consolidation, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.
3.7 Notices of Record Date. In the event that the Corporation shall propose at any time:
(a) to declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;
(b) to offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of any class or series of its stock any additional shares of stock of any class or series or any other securities or property, or to receive any other rights;
(c) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or
(d) to merge or consolidate with or into any other corporation, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all its property or business, or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up;
33
then, in connection with each such event, the Corporation shall send to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the earlier of (A) the date on which a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (iii) and (iv) above or (B) the closing date of such event; provided, however, the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may waive the notice period required above.
