hereby certify and set forth:
1. The name of the corporation is Andrea Electronics Corporation (hereinafter,

2. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the

3. Article Third of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation is hereby amended for the purpose of increasing

amended to read as set forth below in full:
"THIRD: The aggregate number of shares which the Corporation
shall have the authority to issue is 75 million (75,000,000)
of capital stock. Seventy million (70,000,000) shares shall be
designated as common stock, each having a par value of fifty
cents ($.50) per share. Five million (5,000,000) shares shall
be designated as preferred stock, each having a par value of
one cent ($.01) per share.
The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations
prescribed by law and the provisions of this Article THIRD, to
provide for the issuance of the shares of preferred stock in
series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to
be included in such series and to fix the designation, powers,
preferences and rights of the shares of each series and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.
The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each
series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the
following:
(a) the number of shares constituting a series and the distinctive
designation of that series;
(b) the dividend rate on the shares of a series, whether dividends
shall be cumulative, and, if so, from which date or dates, and the
relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on
shares of that series;
(c) whether a series shall have voting rights, in addition to the
voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such
voting rights;
(d) whether a series shall have conversion privileges, and, if so, the
terms and conditions of such conversion, including provision for
adjustment of the conversion rate in such events as the Board of
Directors shall determine.
(e) whether or not the shares of a series shall be redeemable, and, if
so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the
date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable, and
the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount
may vary under different conditions and at different redemption
dates;
(f) whether a series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption or
purchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and
amount of such sinking fund;
(g) the rights of the shares of a series in the event of voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of
payment of shares of that series;
(h) any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of a
series.
Dividends on outstanding shares of preferred stock shall be paid, or
declared and set apart for payment, before any dividends shall be paid, or
declared and set apart for payment, on the common shares with respect to
the same dividend period."
4. This Amendment to Article Third of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation was authorized, pursuant to Section 803(a) of the Business
