At a preliminary hearing in the Court of Ivrea, Italy, Mr. Ariaudo was fined U.S.$15,158. Olivetti was fined Lire 100 million by the Italian Treasury Ministry for Olivetti's delay of 24 hours in meeting its obligation to notify Consob (the Italian equivalent of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of the sale by it of 24,405,000 shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A. The Court of Appeal has upheld this decision and Olivetti is considering a further appeal. Mr. Antonio Tesone, as Chairman and legal representative of Olivetti, is jointly liable for such fine. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION Each of Oak, Peconic and Olivetti International funded its purchase of Preferred Stock as described in Item 5 from working capital. Cirmatica, which was formed for the purpose of holding shares of Preferred Stock as described in Item 5, received a $50,000,000 capital contribution from Lottomatica and borrowed $50,000,000 from Olivetti pursuant to an oral agreement whereby Cirmatica is obligated to pay the principal amount of the loan plus interest at a rate equal to the applicable EURIBOR rate plus 2% at the end of one year from the date the loan was made. Lottomatica and Olivetti provided such funds from working capital. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION Simultaneously with the completion of the Issuer's acquisition of Scientific Games Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation, on September 6, 2000, the Issuer sold an aggregate of 1,127,500 shares of Preferred Stock to Cirmatica, Oak, Peconic, Ramius Securities and Olivetti International (collectively, the "Purchasers") (of which Ramius Securities received 27,500 in respect of the payment of a placement agent fee). See Item 5 for details regarding the number of shares of Preferred Stock acquired by each Purchaser. The Issuer used most of the proceeds received in the sale of the Preferred Stock to repurchase certain of its existing subordinated debt. 3 The Purchasers acquired the Preferred Stock as an investment and to obtain a voice in the management of the Issuer through minority representation on the Issuer's Board of Directors. 4 Immediately after the Purchasers acquired the Preferred Stock in accordance with the rights granted to the Purchasers in the Certificate of Designations and the Stockholders' Agreement as more fully described in Item 6, the size of the Issuer's Board of Directors was increased to 10 directors and four representatives of the Purchasers -- Peter A. Cohen, Luciano La Noce, Roberto Sgambati and Michael S. Immordino -- were appointed as directors. The Purchasers have, collectively, been granted the right to elect or, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock, designate for election, up to four members to the Issuer's Board of Directors. See Item 6 for a description of the Purchasers' rights to elect or designate, as the case may be, members to the Board of Directors of the Issuer depending on the percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchasers. The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional and Other Special Rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations"), the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 6, 2000, by and among the Purchasers and the Issuer (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Stockholders' Agreement, dated as of September 6, 2000, by and among the Purchasers and the Issuer (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), and the Voting Agreement, dated as of September 6, 2000 (the "Voting Agreement"), by and among the Purchasers (other than Ramius Securities), a copy of each of which has been filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference. Except as described herein or as contemplated pursuant to an agreement between Peconic and a third party dated September 6, 2000 whereby such third party will purchase all of the Preferred Stock held by Peconic in one or more closings prior to September 6, 2001, none of the Reporting Persons currently has (i) any plans to dispose of shares of Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock are convertible, (ii) any intention of acquiring additional shares of Preferred Stock (other than through in-kind dividends) or Common Stock (other than through the conversion of Preferred Stock or the exercise of pre-emptive or other rights under the agreements described in Item 6), or (iii) any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present management of the Issuer, (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, (g) any other material change in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated in (a) through (i) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Reporting Persons retains its right to (a) vote the Preferred Stock and elect or designate directors to the Issuer's Board of Directors as described in Item 6 (subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement), (b) change its investment intent, (c) propose one or more possible transactions to the Issuer's Board of Directors, and (d) acquire additional shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock from time to time or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Preferred Stock (or any shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock 5 is converted) beneficially owned by it in any manner permitted by law and the agreements described in Item 6. In reaching any decision as to its course of action, each Reporting Person currently expects that it would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the Issuer's business and prospects; other developments concerning the Issuer and its business generally; other business opportunities available to such Reporting Person; developments with respect to the business of such Reporting Person; changes in law and government regulations; general economic conditions; and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities of the Issuer. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) and (b) As of September 14, 2000, there were then issued and outstanding 36,909,292 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report to Form 10-Q filed on such date. On September 6, 2000, the Purchasers (other than Ramius Securities) acquired, for an aggregate purchase price of $110,000,000, a total of 1,100,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Olivetti International purchased 20,000 shares of Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 ($650,000 of which was credited to Olivetti as payment for certain transaction expenses), Cirmatica purchased 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000, Oak purchased 40,000 shares of Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 and Peconic purchased 40,000 shares of Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. Also on September 6, 2000, Ramius Securities received 27,500 shares of Preferred Stock with an aggregate value of $2,750,000 6 as partial payment of a placement agent fee payable by the Issuer equal to 5% of the gross proceeds received by the Issuer in respect of the sale of Preferred Stock to the Purchasers pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. The shares of Preferred Stock referred to above and recorded as owned by Olivetti International, Cirmatica, Oak and Peconic, together with any shares of Common Stock issued on the conversion of any such shares of Preferred Stock (the "Voting Agreement Stock"), are subject to the Voting Agreement as more fully described in Item 6 below and herein incorporated by reference. By virtue of the voting arrangements set forth in the Voting Agreement, the parties have agreed to vote the Voting Agreement Stock as directed by Cirmatica with respect to designating, and voting for, the persons who shall be elected to the Issuer's Board of Directors pursuant to the Certificate of Designations and the Stockholders' Agreement. Under the Voting Agreement, Olivetti International also agreed to vote all the shares of Preferred Stock owned by it (including all shares of Common Stock issued on the conversion of such Preferred Stock) as directed by Cirmatica on all voting matters relating to the Issuer in which Olivetti International has the right to vote. As a result of these voting arrangements, Cirmatica, and Lottomatica, as the sole shareholder of Cirmatica, may be deemed to beneficially own the Voting Agreement Stock which represents 33.2% of the outstanding Common Stock (assuming conversion of 1,100,000 shares of the Preferred Stock held by the parties to the Voting Agreement). Lottomatica hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of the Voting Agreement Stock and this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that Lottomatica is the beneficial owner of the Voting Agreement Stock. In addition to its beneficial ownership of the Voting Agreement Stock as described above, Cirmatica is the record owner of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Assuming the conversion of all of its Preferred Stock as of the date hereof, Cirmatica would own in the aggregate 16,666,666 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 31.1% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Cirmatica Common Stock"). Cirmatica has the sole power to vote or to direct the voting of the Cirmatica Common Stock on all matters and has the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, the Cirmatica Common Stock. Because Lottomatica is the sole shareholder of Cirmatica, Lottomatica may be deemed to beneficially own the Cirmatica Common Stock. Lottomatica disclaims beneficial ownership of the Cirmatica Common Stock reported herein and this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that Lottomatica is the beneficial owner of the Cirmatica Common Stock. 7 Ramius Securities is the record owner of 27,500 shares of Preferred Stock. Ramius Securities also owns 172,600 shares of Common Stock. Assuming the conversion of all of its Preferred Stock as of the date hereof, Ramius Securities would own in the aggregate 630,933 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 1.7% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Ramius Securities Common Stock"). Ramius Securities has the sole power to vote and to dispose of the Ramius Securities Common Stock. Because Ramius Capital is the sole shareholder of Ramius Securities and C4S & Co. is the managing member of Ramius Capital, each of Ramius Capital and C4S & Co. may be deemed to beneficially own the Ramius Securities Common Stock. Each of Ramius Capital and C4S & Co. disclaim beneficial ownership of the Ramius Securities Common Stock reported herein and this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that either Ramius Capital or C4S & Co. is the beneficial owner of the Ramius Capital Common Stock. In addition, Ramius Securities, acting in its capacity as an investment advisor to certain third parties, has the sole power to vote, or direct the voting of, and the sole power to dispose, or direct the disposition of, 439,300 shares of Common Stock of which Ramius Securities is not the record owner (the "Investment Advisor Common Stock"). Ramius Capital, as the sole shareholder of Ramius Securities, and C4S & Co., as the managing member of Ramius Capital, may be deemed to beneficially own the Investment Advisor Common Stock. Each of Ramius Capital and C4S & Co. disclaims beneficial ownership of the Investment Advisor Common Stock reported herein and this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that either Ramius Capital or C4S & Co. is the beneficial owner of the Investment Advisor Common Stock. Peconic is the record owner of 40,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Assuming the conversion of all of its Preferred Stock as of the date hereof, Peconic would own in the aggregate 666,666 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 1.8% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Peconic Common Stock"). As described above and solely with respect to designating, and voting for, the persons who shall be elected to the Issuer's Board of Directors, Cirmatica has, by contract, the sole power to direct the voting of the Peconic Common Stock. On all other matters, Peconic has the sole power to vote, or to direct the voting of, the Peconic Common Stock and has the sole power to dispose, or direct the disposition of, the Peconic Common Stock. Because Ramius Capital is the investment advisor to Peconic and C4S & Co. is the managing member of Ramius Capital, each of Ramius Capital 8 and C4S & Co. may be deemed to beneficially own the Peconic Common Stock. Each of Ramius Capital and C4S & Co. disclaim beneficial ownership of the Peconic Common Stock reported herein and this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that either Ramius Capital or C4S & Co. is the beneficial owner of the Peconic Common Stock. Oak is the record owner of 40,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Assuming the conversion of all of its Preferred Stock as of the date hereof, Oak would own in the aggregate 666,666 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 1.8% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Oak Common Stock"). As described above and solely with respect to designating, and voting for, the persons who shall be elected to the Issuer's Board of Directors, Cirmatica has, by contract, the sole power to direct the voting of the Oak Common Stock. On all other matters, Oak has the sole power to vote, or to direct the voting of, the Oak Common Stock and has the sole power to dispose, or direct the disposition of, the Oak Common Stock. Olivetti International is the record owner of 20,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Assuming the conversion of all of its Preferred Stock as of the date hereof, Olivetti International would own in the aggregate 333,333 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 0.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer ("Olivetti International Common Stock"). As described above, Cirmatica has, by contract, the sole power to direct the voting of the Olivetti International Common Stock with respect to all matters concerning the Issuer in which Olivetti International is entitled to vote. Olivetti International has the sole power to dispose, or to direct the disposition, of the Olivetti International Common Stock. As a result, Olivetti, as the sole shareholder of Olivetti International, may be deemed to beneficially own the Olivetti International Common Stock. Olivetti disclaims beneficial ownership of the Olivetti International Common Stock reported herein and this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that Olivetti is the beneficial owner of the Olivetti International Common Stock. Other than each Purchaser's ownership of Preferred Stock and Ramius Securities' ownership of 172,600 shares of Common Stock, together with its beneficial ownership of 439,900 shares of Common Stock by virtue of its capacity as an investment advisor to certain third parties, each as described herein, each Reporting Party hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's Common Stock reported herein and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be 9 construed as an admission that any such Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D. Except for the purchases of Preferred Stock as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their respective directors, executive officers or managing members (as appropriate) has effected any transaction involving the Issuer's Common Stock during the last 60 days. (d) and (e) Not applicable. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER The responses to Items 4 and 5 and Exhibits 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 of this Schedule 13D are herein incorporated by reference. PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement the Issuer made certain customary representations and warranties relating to, among other things, the Preferred Stock and the condition of the Issuer's business. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that the Issuer shall indemnify each of the Purchasers and their respective affiliates, directors, shareholders, officers, employees and agents from and against all damages (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of a breach of (i) any representation or warranty relating to the due organization, authority and capitalization of the Issuer, the existence of certain exemptions applicable to Olivetti, Cirmatica, Lottomatica and their respective affiliates under the change of control provisions contained in the Issuer's employee severance agreements, and the accuracy of information provided to the Purchasers, or (ii) covenants made by the Issuer in the Stock Purchase Agreement and the other transaction documents. The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement is not, and does not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2. CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible (at the option of the holder thereof) at any time into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock calculated by dividing the Liquidation Preference (as defined below) by $6.00 (the "Conversion Price"), such Conversion Price to be adjusted in certain circumstances as provided for in the Certificate of Designations. The Preferred Stock, with respect to payment of dividends, redemption payments and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up the affairs of the Issuer, ranks senior and prior to the Common Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Company which by its terms ranks junior to the Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Issuer, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive $100.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference") plus all accrued and unpaid dividends prior to the payment date. The holders of Preferred Stock will receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of 6% of the sum of (x) the Liquidation Preference and (y) all unpaid dividends, if any, whether or not declared, from the date of issuance of Preferred Stock to the applicable dividend payment date. Dividends will be payable in additional shares of Preferred Stock or, at the Issuer's option beginning on September 30, 2002, in cash. In the event the Issuer pays cash dividends on any of its capital stock, the holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive any such cash dividends as if the holders converted all of their Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designations. From and after September 1, 2003, the Issuer at its option, may redeem all but not less than all of the shares of Preferred Stock, at the redemption price of 105% of the Liquidation Preference thereof, plus an amount equal to the unpaid dividends thereon, if the Current Market Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) of the Common Stock exceeds $10.00 per share and the Issuer has filed a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock which has been effective for at least 180 days. Holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class with the holders of shares of Common Stock on all matters as to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to vote. In such instances, each share of Preferred Stock will vote on an "as converted" basis, using the Conversion Price then in effect. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, holders of shares of Preferred Stock voting together as a single class are entitled to elect: 4 of the Issuer's directors so long as the Purchasers collectively own more than 25% of the 10 outstanding shares of Common Stock (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis); 3 of the Issuer's directors so long as the Purchasers collectively own more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis); 2 of the Issuer's directors so long as the Purchaser collectively own more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis); and 1 of the Issuers directors so long as the Purchasers collectively own 5% of the outstanding Common Stock (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis). In addition, if the Issuer fails to pay dividends on the Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designations or fails to provide for the election of directors as specified in the Certificate of Designations, the number of directors of the Issuer's Board of Directors will be increased by 3 and the Purchasers will be entitled to elect such additional directors to serve on the Issuer's Board of Directors. When the failure to pay such dividends on the Preferred Stock or to provide for such election of directors is cured, then the rights of the Purchasers to elect such additional directors will cease, and the term of office of any person elected as an additional director will terminate and the number of the Issuer's Board of Directors will be reduced accordingly. The Certificate of Designations also provides that the Issuer shall need the consent of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock that own more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to effect any of the following: (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations; (ii) any amendment, alteration or repeal to any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer that could adversely affect the preferences, rights or powers of the Preferred Stock; (iii) any authorization, issuance or creation of any class or series of capital stock of the Issuer; (iv) any increase in size of the Board of Directors of Issuer (except in accordance with the Certificate of Designations or the Stockholders' Agreement; (v) any change in State of incorporation of the Issuer; (vi) any delisting of the Issuer's Common Stock from the American Stock Exchange or listing of Common Stock on a different exchange or national quotation system; and (vii) any decision, commitment or other arrangement to effect any of the foregoing. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirely by reference to the Certificate of Designations, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference. STOCKHOLDERS' AGREEMENT 11 The Stockholders' Agreement provides, among other things, that the Purchasers shall have the right under certain circumstances in connection with new issuances of securities by the Issuer to purchase a number of such securities from the Issuer necessary to maintain such Purchaser's percentage ownership interest in the Issuer. These rights to purchase additional securities of the Issuer will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) September 6, 2004 (b) the date on which all of the Preferred Stock is redeemed by the Issuer in accordance with the Certificate of Designations and (c) the date on which the Preferred Stock is automatically converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. Each of the Purchasers shall have a right of over-allotment whereby if any Purchaser fails to purchase securities of the Issuer to which it is entitled, each other Purchaser shall have the right to purchase some of the non-purchasing Purchaser's portion of such securities on a pro rata basis. The Stockholders' Agreement further provides that Olivetti International and Cirmatica and their permitted assigns shall be subject to certain standstill provisions that generally prohibit them from acquiring until September 6, 2004 beneficial ownership of any equity interest of the Issuer which, together with any equity interest of the Issuer beneficially owned by them would equal more than 45% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer or securities convertible into Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis. Under the Stockholders' Agreement, Olivetti International, Cirmatica and their permitted assigns will also be prohibited from soliciting proxies with respect to the Issuer until September 6, 2003. In addition, the Stockholders' Agreement provides that, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Designations, the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall consist of ten directors and that the Purchasers shall have the right to designate and have appointed: (A) 4 directors minus the number of directors that the Purchasers are entitled to elect as a single class pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, provided that the Purchasers beneficially own in aggregate at least 25% of the outstanding shares Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis); (B) 3 directors minus the number of directors that the Purchasers are entitled to elect as a single class pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, provided that the Purchasers beneficially own in aggregate at least 20% of the outstanding shares Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis); (C) 2 directors minus the number of directors that the Purchasers are entitled to elect as a single class pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, provided that the Purchasers beneficially own in aggregate at least 10% of the outstanding shares Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis (counting the 12 Preferred Stock on an as converted basis); and (D) 1 director minus the number of directors that the Purchasers are entitled to elect as a single class pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, provided that the Purchasers beneficially own in aggregate at least 5% of the outstanding shares Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis). If the Issuer fails to comply with these provisions, then for as long as the failure continues, the number of directors on the Board shall be increased by 3 and the Purchasers shall have the right to designate and have elected 3 additional directors to the Board regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock held by them. Pursuant to the Stockholders' Agreement, immediately after the closing of the purchase of the Preferred Stock, Messrs Luciano La Noce, Peter Cohen, Roberto Sgambati and Michael Immordino, the representatives of the Purchasers, were appointed as directors of the Issuer. The Stockholders' Agreement further provides that as long as the Purchasers beneficially own in aggregate at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis (counting the Preferred Stock on an as converted basis), the consent of the Purchasers holding at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be necessary for authorizing, effecting and validating (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations; (ii) any amendment, alteration or repeal to any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer that could adversely affect the preferences, rights or powers of the Preferred Stock; (iii) any authorization, issuance or creation of any class or series of capital stock of the Issuer; (iv) any increase in size of the Board of Directors of Issuer (except in accordance with the Certificate of Designations or the Stockholders' Agreement); (v) any change in the State of incorporation of Issuer; (vi) any delisting of Issuer's Common Stock from the American Stock Exchange or listing of Common Stock on a different exchange or national quotation system; and (vii) any decision, commitment or other arrangement to effect any of the foregoing. Under the Stockholders' Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to effect "demand" registrations at any time upon the request of any of the Purchasers or any other person holding Registrable Securities (as defined in the Stockholders' Agreement), including registrations made on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for an offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. There is no limit on the number of "demand" registrations or Form S-3 registrations that may be requested. The Stockholders' Agreement further provides that, subject to certain limitations, the Purchasers may include their Registrable Securities in any registration of stock by the Issuer under the Securities Act. 13 Under the Stockholders' Agreement, the Issuer is required to pay all registration expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions) with respect to all registrations made for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities. The Issuer is also required to pay liquidated damages in an amount equal to 2% of the Issue Amount Per Share (as defined in the Stockholders' Agreement) in cash of Preferred Stock, in the event the Issuer is not able to pay cash, each month following the 150-day period in which a registration statement has not been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission after the holders of Registrable Securities have requested registration. The foregoing description of the Stockholders' Agreement is not, and does not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stockholders' Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4 to the Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference. VOTING AGREEMENT Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Olivetti International, Oak and Peconic agreed that Cirmatica shall have the right to designate the persons who shall serve as the directors designees of the Purchasers pursuant to the Certificate of Designations and Stockholders' Agreement; provided that for so long as the Purchasers are allowed under the Stockholders' Agreement and the Certificate of Designations to designate 2 or more directors of the Issuer Peter Cohen shall be one of the appointed nominees for so long as he remains associated with Peconic and its affiliates unless Oak, Peconic, or their permitted assigns no longer beneficially own Preferred Stock (or Common Stock issued on conversion of such Senior Preferred Stock). Cirmatica, Olivetti International, Oak and Peconic agreed to vote of Preferred Stock and Common Stock in favor of the designees designated by Cirmatica. Under the Voting Agreement, Olivetti International, Oak and Peconic further agreed that Cirmatica shall have the right to designate the designees who shall serve as members of the committees of the Board. Olivetti International also agreed to vote as directed by Cirmatica in its sole and absolute discretion on all matters including, among other things, ordinary and extraordinary corporate actions and all matters submitted to a stockholder vote at general or special stockholder meetings of the Issuer. Each of Olivetti International, Oak and Peconic also agreed that it would not, and would not permit any of its affiliates (other than Cirmatica and its Subsidiaries), among other things, to, sell, encumber or otherwise transfer any of its shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock without first giving Cirmatica prior written notice of such proposed 14 transfer and the opportunity to purchase all but not less than all of such shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock at a cash price equal to the sum of the amount of any cash plus the fair market value of any other consideration offered by the prospective purchaser. The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement is not, and does not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 5 to this Schedule 13D. Except as set forth in this Schedule, the Reporting Persons do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect of any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Issuer, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, of the giving or withholding of proxies, or a pledge or contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power over the securities of the Issuer.
