Item 2.04 Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
     The Registrant determined that all of its shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock (together, the “Preferred Stock”) were not properly issued by the Registrant, although it was the intent of the Company and its Board of Directors to properly issue such Preferred Stock. The Registrant promptly notified the holders of the Preferred Stock and offered to exchange (the “Exchange”) the Preferred Stock for two new series of preferred stock (with rights, powers and preferences substantially identical to the terms of the originally issued Preferred Stock) that would be properly issued. The largest holder of Preferred Stock has indicated his willingness to consent to the Exchange. However, on December 17, 2008, after such notification, the Registrant received a redemption notice from Sondra Beit and MT Trading LLC (together referred to as “Beit” and collectively holding approximately 17% of the Preferred Stock). The stated value of the shares of Preferred Stock owned by Beit is $1,500,000 and the redemption price under the Certificate of Designations is approximately $1,875,000 (excluding accrued dividends) for redemptions thereunder. The Registrant has notified Beit that it does not believe that redemption of the Preferred Stock is an appropriate remedy and the Registrant intends to vigorously contest the redemption demand.
