Outlook, Governance, and Risks
Governance Changes: Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (Spencer Street Investments, Inc.) are entitled to elect one director to the Board.

Redemption Terms: The company may redeem the Series B stock on or after October 9, 2006, at 112% of the liquidation preference. This redemption price declines by 1% annually until October 8, 2018, after which it equals the liquidation preference plus accrued dividends.
Registration Rights: The company has agreed to register the resale of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred shares.
