“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL MAY BE SELECTED BY THE SELLER), IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO SPIN, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”
The legend set forth above shall be removed and SPIN shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Exchange Share upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) the Exchange Shares are registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides SPIN with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Exchange Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act, which opinion shall be accepted by SPIN so that the sale or transfer is effected. Each Seller agrees to sell all Exchange Shares, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.

If the transfer agent requires any additional documentation from SPIN in connection with any proposed transfer by the Selling Shareholder of any Securities Being Sold, SPIN shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the transfer agent or to any other person, all such additional documentation in its possession or control as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the transfer of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any transferee thereof, all at SPIN’s expense, provided that SPIN shall not be required to obtain any, or pay for any Rule 144 Opinion. Following the Closing, the Acquired Company will be responsible for all SEC filings as well as tax filings including, but not limited, to those due on or after March 31, 2022 (such as the 941).

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
a Delaware corporation
Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the undersigned Chief Executive Officer of Spine Injury Solutions, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, does hereby make this Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (this “Certificate of Designations”) and DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that pursuant to the authority contained in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and in accordance with the provisions of the resolution creating a series of the class of the Corporation’s authorized Preferred Stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, as follows:
FIRST: The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation authorizes the issuance by the Corporation of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), and, further, authorizes the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), by resolution or resolutions, at any time and from time to time, to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and the number of shares constituting any such series or the designation thereof.
SECOND: By unanimous written consent of the Board dated March 18, 2022, the Board designated 9,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Stock”), pursuant to a resolution providing that a series of preferred stock of the Corporation be and hereby is created, and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as follows:
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Section 1. Powers and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. There is hereby designated a class of Preferred Stock of the Corporation as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation (the “Series A Stock”). The number of shares, powers, terms, conditions, designations, preferences and privileges, relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions, if any, of the Series A Stock shall be as set forth in this Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (this “Certificate of Designations”). For purposes hereon, a holder of a share or shares of Series A Stock, with respect to their rights as related to the Series A Stock, shall be referred to as a “Series A Holder.”
Section 2. Number; Stated Value. The number of authorized shares of the Series A Stock is 9,000,000 shares. Each share of the Series A Stock shall have a stated value equal to $1.00 (the “Stated Value”).
1 |
Section 3. Conversion.
(a) Automatic Conversion. On the first business day immediately following the earlier of (a) the date on which the Secretary of State of Delaware shall have filed, after all required approvals by the Board and the Corporation’s stockholders, an amendment to the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock; and (b) the date on which FINRA has affected a reverse stock split of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock, after all required approvals by the Board and the Corporation’s stockholders, in either (a) or (b), so that there are a sufficient number of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock authorized but unissued to permit a full conversion of all the Series A Stock based upon the Conversion Price (as hereinafter defined) (the “Conversion Condition”), all shares of the Series A Stock shall automatically convert into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock at the Conversion Price without any action of the Series A Holder (the “Conversion”). Promptly thereafter, the Corporation shall issue to the Series A Holder a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to such automatic conversion, of the Series A Stock, or otherwise issue such shares of Common Stock in book entry/non-certificated form. Shares of Series A Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.
(b) Calculation. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Series A Stock pursuant to Section 3(a) above shall be determined by dividing (i) the Stated Value by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect, with such shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with such conversion defined herein as “Conversion Shares”.
(c) Conversion Price. The conversion price shall be $0.018526887 per share of Series A Stock (the “Conversion Price”), subject to further adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as set forth below.
(d) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Stock. In the event that for any reason the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to any Series A Holder pursuant to Section 3(a) above results in a fraction of a Conversion Share being due to a Series A Holder, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board, or round up to the next whole share of Common Stock resulting from such fractional share.
(e) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of Series A Stock shall be made without charge to any Series A Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the applicable Series A Holder of such shares of Series A Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person (as defined below) or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. For purposes hereof, “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind.

(f) Cancellation of Series A Stock Certificates. Without limiting the obligation of each Series A Holder set forth herein (including below), the Corporation and/or the Corporation’s Transfer Agent shall be authorized to take whatever action necessary, if any, following the Conversion to reflect the cancellation of the Series A Stock shares and certificates subject to the Conversion, which shall not require the approval and/or consent of any Series A Holder (a “Cancellation”). Notwithstanding the above, each Series A Holder, by accepting such Series A Stock hereby covenants that it will, whenever and as reasonably requested by the Corporation and the Transfer Agent, at the Corporation’s sole cost and expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such other and further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, confirmations, powers of attorney and any instruments of further assurance, approvals and consents as the Corporation or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require in order to complete, insure and perfect the Cancellation, if such may be reasonably required by the Corporation and/or the Corporation’s Transfer Agent, including, but not limited to the delivery to the Corporation of all certificates and stock powers with medallion signature guaranty in connection with the Cancellation.
Section 4. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (as hereinafter defined) (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of the Series A Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Corporation which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock.
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as the Series A Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of the Series A Stock, then, in each such case, each Series A Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Series A Holder would have participated therein if the Series A Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete Conversion of the Series A Stock held by such Series A Holder (without regard to any limitations on Conversion hereof) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.
3 |
(c) Consolidation or Merger. At any time while the Series A Stock remains outstanding, in case of any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which the Corporation is a continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change, other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value per share, or from no par value per share to par value), or in the case of any sale or transfer to another corporation of the property of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Corporation or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall, without payment of any additional consideration therefor, assume the Corporation’s obligations hereunder.
Section 5. Dividends. Except for adjustments to the Conversion Price provided by Section 4 hereof, to the extent applicable, or dividends as may be declared by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, the Series A Stock shall not accrue dividends.
Section 6. Voting Power. Other than as set forth in Section 9, on any matter, event or action submitted to the holders of Common Stock for a vote or on which the holders of Common Stock have a right to vote, each share of Series A Stock shall have a number of votes per share equal to the number of Conversion Shares then issuable upon Conversion thereof, and the Series A Stock shall vote on any such matter, event or action submitted to the holders of Common Stock for a vote or on which the holders of Common Stock have a right to vote, together with the Common Stock as one class. Any vote or consent of the Series A Holders may be taken either by vote at a meeting called for the purpose or by written consent without a meeting and in either case may be given in person or by proxy. The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the Series A Holders (including, without limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules the Board or a duly authorized committee of the Board, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and applicable law.
Section 7. Participation. The Series A Stock shall participate in any dividends, distributions or payments to the holders of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, but without any conversion being required in connection therewith and regardless of whether there are a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to permit full conversion of all shares of Series A Stock.

Section 8. Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), each Series A Holder shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing thereon under this Certificate of Designation, for each share of Series A Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities (as hereinafter defined), and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to each Series A Holder shall be ratably distributed among each Series A Holder in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. A Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control Transaction shall not be deemed a Liquidation.
