In March 2009 the Company designated 7,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $50.00 per share. No shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2011. Of the 7,000 designated shares, 390 are presently acquirable through the exercise of warrants issued to members of the Board of Directors and certain members of management during 2009. Once issued, a Series D Convertible Preferred Share is convertible at any time after the date of issuance and without the payment of additional consideration into 100,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization. Each holder of Series D Convertible Preferred Shares is entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting and to vote on any matters on which the shares of the Company's common stock may be voted. In a stockholder vote, an outstanding Series D Convertible Preferred Share is entitled to the number of votes that the holder of 500,000 shares of common stock would be entitled to by virtue of holding such shares of common stock. Series D Convertible Preferred Shares also enjoy liquidation and dividend preferences.
