<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Company is considering purchasing its Common Stock from time to time pursuant
to a stock repurchase program, when and if the Board of Directors determines it
is appropriate.&#160; The amendment which we
are proposing is necessary in order to effectuate a stock purchase plan while
dividends are in arrears.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

ON RIGHTS OF CURRENT PREFERRED SHAREHOLDERS<a name="EffectsOnRightsOfCurrentPreferred_123810"></a></font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Previously,
the Series&nbsp;I Certificate of Designation provided that, if dividends were
in arrears on the Series&nbsp;I Class&nbsp;B Stock, there were certain
prohibitions on acquisitions for consideration by the Company of stock ranking
junior to the Series&nbsp;I Class&nbsp;B Stock except on certain terms.&#160; One of the limitations included that no
acquisitions for consideration could be made unless the acquisition involved
the acquisition of all of the Series&nbsp;I Class&nbsp;B Stock (upon a 50%
vote) or unless the Series&nbsp;I Class&nbsp;B Stock was converted into or
exchanged into stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series&nbsp;I Class&nbsp;B
Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
proposed amendment deletes these requirements and includes an addition that
specifically provides that the Company can purchase any of its shares ranking
junior to the Series&nbsp;I Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock (including Common
shares) on any terms it fixes, even where a dividend upon shares of Series&nbsp;I
Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock is in arrears, so long as:&#160; (A)&nbsp;the cash assets of the Company as of
its latest reporting period equals or exceeds $40,000,000 or (B)&nbsp;if the

<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">amount of funds utilized
to purchase such shares within the next quarter does not exceed 25% of the
value of the cash assets as of the previous reporting period.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="1" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:9.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Accordingly,
if the amendment is approved, it would mean that the Company would no longer be
legally bound to pay the Series&nbsp;I Class&nbsp;B shareholders their accrued
dividends before the Company buys other shares, including shares of Common
Stock.&#160; The Company is not yet committed
to a stock repurchase program.&#160; As such,
we cannot predict any additional effects of the approval of this amendment
other than it would mean that the Company would no longer be legally bound to
pay the Series&nbsp;I Class&nbsp;B shareholders their accrued dividends before
the Company buys other shares, including shares of Common Stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="1" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:9.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">However,
the Board is currently considering a stock purchase plan.&#160; The Company&#146;s stock is trading at or near all
time lows.&#160; Given the current market and
our Common stock&#146;s current low prices, we believe it may be an opportune time
to purchase our Common Stock on the open market and that such action would
likely be beneficial to both the Company and its existing shareholders.&#160; As of July&nbsp;31, 2009, our Common Stock
price was <u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</u>
per share.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="1" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:9.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A
stock repurchase program would be anti-dilutive to existing shareholders.
Reducing dilution increases shareholder valve per share. A stock repurchase
would result in fewer shares outstanding, resulting in each share being
allocated a larger portion of the Corporation&#146;s assets.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="1" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:9.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Further,
we believe the ability to purchase shares may discourage stock manipulation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="1" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:9.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Further,
a stock repurchase program would publicize our confidence in our future, which
may discourage selling and, hopefully, result in an increased price for our
Common shares.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="1" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:9.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
believe it is advisable for management to have the authority to purchase shares
of stock without having to pay all accrued and past due dividends first.&#160; It may be advisable to engage in a stock
purchase program in the future.&#160; However,
even if the Company does enter into a stock repurchase program, there is no
guarantee that such action will result in a temporary or long-term change in
our stock price.&#160; Our stock price does
not always correspond with actions taken which, in our view, should increase
the stock price.</font></p>

purchase program in the future.&#160; However,
even if the Company does enter into a stock repurchase program, there is no
guarantee that such action will result in a temporary or long-term change in

Company is considering purchasing its Common Stock from time to time pursuant
to a stock repurchase program, when and if the Board of Directors determines it

<h2 style="font-weight:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;page-break-after:avoid;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></h2>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Previously,
the Series&nbsp;IV Certificate of Designation provided that, if dividends were
in arrears on the Series&nbsp;IV Class&nbsp;B Stock, there were certain
prohibitions on acquisitions for consideration by the Company of stock ranking
junior to the Series&nbsp;IV Class&nbsp;B Stock except on certain terms.&#160; One of the limitations included that no
acquisitions for consideration could be made unless the acquisition involved
the acquisition of all of the Series&nbsp;IV Class&nbsp;B Stock (upon a 50%
vote) or unless the Series&nbsp;IV Class&nbsp;B Stock was converted into or
exchanged into stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series&nbsp;IV Class&nbsp;B
Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
proposed amendment deletes these requirements and includes an addition that
specifically provides that the Company can purchase any of its shares ranking
junior to the Series&nbsp;IV Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock (including Common
shares) on any terms it fixes, even where a dividend upon shares of Series&nbsp;IV
Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock is in arrears, so long as:&#160; (A)&nbsp;the cash assets of the Company as of
its latest reporting period equals or exceeds $40,000,000 or (B)&nbsp;if the
cash assets of the Company as of its latest reporting period was less than
$40,000,000, the amount of funds utilized to purchase such shares within the
next quarter does not exceed 25% of the value of the cash assets as of the
previous reporting period.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Accordingly,
if the amendment is approved, it would mean that the Company would no longer be
legally bound to pay the Series&nbsp;IV Class&nbsp;B shareholders their accrued
dividends before the Company buys other shares, including shares of Common
Stock. The Company is not yet committed to a stock repurchase program.&#160; As such, we cannot predict any additional
effects of the approval of this amendment other than it would mean that the Company
would no longer be legally bound to pay the Series&nbsp;IV Class&nbsp;B
shareholders their accrued dividends before the Company buys other shares,
including shares of Common Stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">However,
the Board is currently considering a stock purchase plan.&#160; The Company&#146;s stock is trading at or near all
time lows. Given the current market and our Common stock&#146;s current low prices,
we believe it may be an opportune time to purchase our Common Stock on the open
market and that such action would likely be beneficial to both the Company and
its existing shareholders.&#160; As of July&nbsp;31,
2009, our Common Stock price was
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
per share.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A stock repurchase
program would be anti-dilutive to existing shareholders. Reducing dilution
increases shareholder value per share. A stock repurchase would result in fewer
shares outstanding, resulting in each share being allocated a larger portion of
the Corporation&#146;s assets.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Further,
we believe the ability to purchase shares may discourage stock manipulation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Further,
a stock repurchase program would publicize our confidence in our future, which
may discourage selling and, hopefully, result in an increased price for our
Common shares.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
believe it is advisable for management to have the authority to purchase shares
of stock without having to pay all accrued and past due dividends first.&#160; It may be advisable to engage in a stock
purchase program in the future.&#160; However,
even if the Company does enter into a stock repurchase program, there is no

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As of July&nbsp;31,

outstanding.&#160; As of the six months ended June&nbsp;30,

<h2 style="font-weight:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;page-break-after:avoid;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></h2>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company is considering purchasing its Common Stock
from time to time pursuant to a stock repurchase program, when and if the Board
of Directors determines it is appropriate.&#160;
The amendment which we are proposing is necessary in order to effectuate
a stock purchase plan while dividends are in arrears.</font></p>

<h2 style="font-weight:normal;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;page-break-after:avoid;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></h2>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Previously,
the Series&nbsp;V Certificate of Designation provided that, if dividends were
in arrears on the Series&nbsp;V Class&nbsp;B Stock, there were certain
prohibitions on acquisitions for consideration by the Company of stock ranking
junior to the Series&nbsp;V Class&nbsp;B Stock except on certain terms.&#160; One of the limitations included that no
acquisitions for consideration could be made unless the acquisition involved
the acquisition of all of the Series&nbsp;V Class&nbsp;B Stock (upon a 50%
vote) or unless the Series&nbsp;V Class&nbsp;B Stock was converted into or
exchanged into stock of the Company ranking junior to the Series&nbsp;V Class&nbsp;B
Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
proposed amendment deletes these requirements and includes an addition that
specifically provides that the Company can purchase any of its shares ranking
junior to the Series&nbsp;V Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock (including Common
shares) on any terms it fixes, even where a dividend upon shares of Series&nbsp;V
Class&nbsp;B Preferred Stock is in arrears, so long as:&#160; (A)&nbsp;the cash assets of the Company as of
its latest reporting period equals or exceeds $40,000,000 or (B)&nbsp;if the
cash assets of the Company as of its latest reporting period was less than
$40,000,000, the amount of funds utilized to purchase such shares within the
next quarter does not exceed 25% of the value of the cash assets as of the
previous reporting period.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Accordingly,
if the amendment is approved, it would mean that the Company would no longer be
legally bound to pay the Series&nbsp;V Class&nbsp;B shareholders their accrued
dividends before the Company buys other shares, including shares of Common
Stock.&#160; The Company is not yet committed
to a stock repurchase program.&#160; As such,
we cannot predict any additional effects of the approval of this amendment
other than it would mean that the Company would no longer be legally bound to
pay the Series&nbsp;V Class&nbsp;B shareholders their accrued dividends before
the Company buys other shares, including shares of Common Stock.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">However,
the Board is currently considering a stock purchase plan.&#160; The Company&#146;s stock is trading at or near all
time lows.&#160; Given the current market and
our Common stock&#146;s current low prices, we believe it may be an opportune time
to purchase our Common Stock on the open market and that such action would
likely be beneficial to both the Company and its existing shareholders.&#160; As of July&nbsp;31, 2009, our Common Stock
price was
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
per share.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">A
stock repurchase program would be anti-dilutive to existing shareholders.
Reducing dilution increases shareholder value per share. A stock repurchase
would result in fewer shares outstanding, resulting in each share being
allocated a larger portion of the Corporation&#146;s assets.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Further,
we believe the ability to purchase shares may discourage stock manipulation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Further,
a stock repurchase program would publicize our confidence in our future, which
may discourage selling and, hopefully, result in an increased price for our
Common shares.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
believe it is advisable for management to have the authority to purchase shares
of stock without having to pay all accrued and past due dividends first.&#160; It may be advisable to engage in a stock
purchase program in the future.&#160; However,
even if the Company does enter into a stock repurchase program, there is no
guarantee that such action will result in a temporary or long-term change in
our stock price.&#160; Our stock price does
not always correspond with actions taken which, in our view, should increase
the stock price.</font></p>

Price then in effect, then the Holder shall be entitled to purchase from the
Corporation in cash (for the same per share consideration at which such Common

Corporation, prior to the payment of any expenses, commissions, discounts and
other applicable costs. With respect to the sale or issuance of Common Stock
Equivalents which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock without
further consideration, the per share consideration will be determined by
dividing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable with respect to
such Common Stock Equivalents (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto
without regard to any provisions contained therein for subsequent adjustment of
such number) into the aggregate consideration receivable by the Corporation upon
the sale or issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents. With respect to the
issuance of other Common Stock Equivalents, the per share consideration will be
determined by dividing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents into the total aggregate
consideration received by the Corporation upon the sale or issuance of such
Common Stock Equivalents plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exercise of
such Common Stock Equivalents. In connection with the sale or issuance of
Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents for non-cash consideration, the
amount of consideration will be the fair market value of such consideration as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.</font></p>

statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (other than a registration Statement

issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents (as set forth in the
instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein

receivable by the Corporation upon the sale or issuance of such Common Stock

Equivalents into the total aggregate consideration received by the Corporation
upon the sale or issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents plus the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration received by the Corporation upon
the conversion or exercise of such Common Stock Equivalents. In connection with
the sale or issuance of Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents for
non-cash consideration, the amount of consideration will be the fair market
value of such consideration as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">notice to the Holder not
less than 20 days in advance of the initial filing of any registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (other than a registration Statement
pertaining to securities issuable pursuant to employee stock option, stock
purchase, or similar plans or a registration statement pertaining to securities
issuable in connection with the acquisition of a business, whether through merger,
consolidation, acquisition of assets, or exchange of securities) covering any
Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, and will afford the Holder
the opportunity to have included in such registration all or such part of the
shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of Series&nbsp;II Class&nbsp;B
Preferred Stock, as may be designated by written notice to the Corporation not
later than 10 days following receipt of such notice from the Corporation. The
Corporation shall be entitled to exclude the shares of Common Stock held by the
Holder from any one, but not more than one, such registration if the
Corporation is advised by its investment banking firm that the inclusion of
such shares will, in the opinion of such investment banking firm, materially
interfere with the orderly sale and distribution of the securities being
offered under such registration statement by the Corporation. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be entitled to exclude the shares of
Common Stock held by the Holder if shares of other shareholders are being
included in any such registration statement and, in such circumstances, the
Holder shall be entitled to include the shares of Common Stock held by them on
a pro rata basis in the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock
held by the Holder bears to the shares of Common Stock held by all other
shareholders, including shares in such registration statement. The Holder shall
not be entitled to include shares in more than two registration statements pursuant
to the provisions of this subdivision (a)&nbsp;of paragraph 8, and all rights
of the Holder under this subdivision (a)&nbsp;of paragraph 8 shall terminate
after the Holder has included shares of Common Stock in two registration
statements pursuant to this subdivision (a)&nbsp;of paragraph 8.</font></p>

The Corporation will pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any
registration effected pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (a)&nbsp;of
this paragraph 8, including registration fees, legal fees, accounting fees,
printing expenses (including such number of any preliminary and the final
prospectus as may be reasonably requested), blue sky qualification fees and
expenses, and all other expenses, except for underwriting commissions or
discounts applicable to the shares of Common Stock being sold by the Holder and
the fees of counsel for the Holder, all of which shall be paid by the Holder.</font></p>

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that
the Corporation files an initial registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (other than a registration statement pertaining to
securities issuable in connection with the acquisition of a business, whether
through merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets or exchange of securities)
concerning any Common Stock of the Corporation, it will afford the Holder the
opportunity to convert his shares into that number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock prior to the three year holding period
stated in paragraph 7 above. The Corporation may also, at its option,
accelerate its redemption rights pursuant to paragraph 4 above in the event
that the Corporation files an initial registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.</font></p>

no par value, or, in the case of any reclassification or change of outstanding
shares of Common Stock, the stock or securities issued in exchange for such
Common Stock. The term &#147;Common Stock&#148; shall also include any capital stock of
the Corporation authorized after June&nbsp;15, 1995 which shall not be limited

is recognized for sales to distributors when title and risk of ownership passes
to the distributor, generally upon shipment.&#160;
Revenue is recorded on the basis of sales price to distributors, less
contractual pricing allowances.&#160;
Contractual pricing allowances consist of: (i)&nbsp;rebates granted to
distributors who provide tracking reports which show, among other things, the
facility that purchased the products, and (ii)&nbsp;a provision for estimated
contractual pricing allowances for products that the Company has not received
tracking reports. Rebates are recorded when issued and are applied against the
customer&#146;s receivable balance.&#160; The
provision for contractual pricing allowances is reviewed at the end of each
quarter and adjusted for changes in levels of products for which there is no
tracking report.&#160; Additionally, if it
becomes clear that tracking reports will not be provided by individual
distributors, the provision is further adjusted.&#160; The estimated contractual allowance is netted
against individual distributor&#146;s accounts receivable balances for financial
reporting purposes.&#160; The resulting net
balance is reflected in accounts receivable or accounts payable, as
appropriate.&#160; The terms and conditions of
contractual pricing allowances are governed by contracts between the Company
and its distributors.&#160; Revenue for
shipments directly to end-users is recognized when title and risk of ownership
pass from the Company.&#160; Any product
shipped or distributed for evaluation purposes is expensed.</font></p>

bases of assets and liabilities, based on enacted rates expected to be in

for realizability.&#160; The Company had
sufficient taxable income from prior carryback years to realize all of its

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In April&nbsp;2008, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued FASB Staff Position (&#147;FSP&#148;)
FAS 142-3, &#147;<i>Determination of the Useful Life
of Intangible Assets</i>&#148;.&#160; This
FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or
extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under FASB Statement No.&nbsp;142, &#147;<i>Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</i>&#148; (&#147;SFAS 142&#148;).&#160; The intent of this FSP is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the
asset under SFAS 141R, and other GAAP.&#160;
FSP FAS 142-3 was effective for the Company beginning January&nbsp;1,
2009.&#160; The adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 does
not have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. </font></p>

the Company filed a lawsuit against Abbott in the United States District Court
in the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana Division.&nbsp; The Company is
alleging fraud and breach of contract in connection with the National Marketing
and Distribution Agreement dated as of May&nbsp;4, 2000, which was terminated
on October&nbsp;15, 2003.&nbsp; The Company is seeking damages which it
estimates to be in millions of dollars of lost profits, out of pocket expenses,
and other damages.&nbsp; In addition, the Company is seeking punitive damages,
pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorney&#146;s fees.&nbsp; Following Abbott&#146;s
unsuccessful attempt to get the case dismissed and ordered to arbitration,
Abbott filed an answer and counterclaim on July&nbsp;15, 2008, alleging several
breaches of contract, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, and breach
of express warranty, seeking in excess of $6,000,000 in compensatory damages as
well as seeking attorneys&#146; fees.&nbsp; The Company denies the validity of
Abbott&#146;s counterclaims.&nbsp; Some discovery has already taken place (related
to the hearings addressing the prior motion to compel arbitration) and
additional discovery is underway.&nbsp; The District Court has issued a
scheduling order calling for trial in January&nbsp;2010. </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In April&nbsp;2008, the
Company sued Occupational and Medical Innovations Limited (&#147;OMI&#148;), an
Australian company, in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Texas, Tyler Division, alleging that OMI has infringed two U.S.
patents (6,572,584 and 7,351,224).&nbsp; The Company also alleges theft of
confidential information, intentional interference with contracts and engaging
in false advertising that wrongfully disparages and mischaracterizes the
Company&#146;s syringe products.&nbsp; The Company further alleges that OMI made
false allegations regarding the source of origin of its safety syringe products
being offered in the U.S.&nbsp; The Company seeks injunctive relief,
unspecified damages (including treble damages) and reimbursement of attorneys
fees in the suit.&nbsp; OMI has counterclaimed against the Company, seeking
declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity of the asserted
patents.&nbsp; OMI is not seeking monetary damages.&nbsp; Trial is set for December&nbsp;2009
and discovery is ongoing.<b>  </b></font></p>

Company sued Becton Dickinson and Company (&#147;BD&#148;) in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, alleging
infringement of three patents (5,578,011; 5,632,733; and 6,090,077) and
violations by BD of the federal and state antitrust laws, and of the Lanham
Act.&nbsp; The Company subsequently dropped the 5,578,011 patent allegations
from the lawsuit.&nbsp; The Company and an officer, a co-plaintiff, are seeking
injunctive relief, unspecified monetary damages and reimbursement of attorneys
fees in the suit.&nbsp; BD counterclaimed for non-infringement and invalidity
of the asserted patents.&nbsp; In January&nbsp;2008, the Court severed the
patent claims from the other claims pending resolution of the patent dispute,
which is set for trial in October&nbsp;2009.&nbsp; In April&nbsp;2008, the
Company and that same officer sued BD in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, alleging infringement of
another issued patent (7,351,224), and seeking injunctive relief, unspecified
monetary damages (including treble damages) and reimbursement of attorneys
fees.&nbsp; BD counterclaimed for non-infringement and invalidity of the
asserted patent.&nbsp; The Company and officer moved to consolidate this case
with the other patent case against BD that was pending in Marshall and the
Court granted the Company&#146;s motion, consolidating this case with the
above-stated case filed in June&nbsp;2007.&nbsp; The Court issued its claim
construction order in this matter on January&nbsp;4, 2009.<b>  </b></font></p>

BD and MDC Investment Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;MDC&#148;) sued the Company in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Texarkana
Division, initially alleging that the Company is infringing two U.S. patents of
MDC (6,179,812 and 7,090,656) that are licensed to BD. BD and MDC seek
injunctive relief and unspecified damages.&nbsp; The Company counterclaimed for
declarations of non-infringement, invalidity and unenforceability of the asserted
patents.&nbsp; The plaintiffs subsequently dropped allegations with regard to
patent no. 7,090,656 and the Company subsequently dropped its counterclaims for
unenforceability of the asserted patents.&nbsp; The Court conducted a claims
construction hearing on September&nbsp;25, 2008 and issued its claims
construction order on November&nbsp;14, 2008.&nbsp; No trial date has been set.<b>  </b></font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Previously, the various
Certificates of Designation provided that, if dividends were in arrears on the

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 24.5pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
proposed amendment deletes these requirements and includes an addition that specifically

preferred stock (including Common shares) on any terms it fixes, even where a
dividend upon shares of preferred stock is in arrears, so long as:&#160; (A)&nbsp;the cash assets of the Company as of
its latest reporting period equals or exceeds $40,000,000 or (B)&nbsp;if the
cash assets of the Company as of its latest reporting period was less than
