Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series AA Preferred Stock (the “Certificate”) provides for voting rights of 100 votes per each of the 75,000 shares of Series AA Stock sold. The Certificate provides the holders of Series AA Stock certain dividend and liquidation preferences over holders of Common Stock. On any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of the Series AA Stock shall receive, out of assets legally available therefor, an amount equal to $10.00 per share, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any other class of stock.
The Series AA Stock is redeemable at June 30, 2009 at the Investors option should sufficient shares of Common Stock not be authorized and reserved for conversion of all shares of Series AA Stock by such date. The cash redemption price shall be the greater of (i) $20.00 per share of Series AA Stock plus a sum equal to all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption, or (ii) the five day average closing price immediately preceding June 30, 2009 multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock that could be obtained on conversion. Accordingly, should the optional redemption be triggered by the Investors due to insufficient shares of Common Stock being available, the Company would be obligated for a minimum cash redemption of approximately $1.5 million or more depending on the Common Stock price.
A complete copy of the Certificate is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.4 and is incorporated herein by reference The summary set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Securities (as defined below) or any of this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation or the Warrants (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), (y) have or result in a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (z) adversely impair the Company’s ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents (any of (x), (y) or (z), a “Material Adverse Effect”).
