CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS
OF
SERIES A 10% NON-VOTING CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
ACCESS INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 
(Pursuant to Section 151(g) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law)
 
Access Integrated Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”) does hereby certify that the following resolutions respecting Series A 10% Non-Voting Cumulative Preferred Stock were duly adopted by the Corporation’s Board of Directors:
 
WHEREAS, the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) authorizes the Corporation to issue an aggregate of 15,000,000   shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), which may be divided into one or more series as the Board of Directors may determine; and
 
WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation expressly vests in the Board of Directors the authority to fix all of the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Preferred Stock; and
 
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it advisable to designate a series of the Preferred Stock consisting of shares designated as Series A 10% Non-Voting Cumulative Preferred Stock.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY:
 
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock be, and hereby is, created, consisting of 20 shares, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which Series A Preferred Stock shall have the voting rights, designations, powers, preferences, relative and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions set forth as follows:
 
1.            Dividend Rights . The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, but only out of funds that are legally available therefor, at the rate of 10% of the Series A Original Issue Price (as defined below) per annum on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares).  The original issue price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be $500,000 per share (the “ Series A Original Issue Price ”). For any share of Series A Preferred Stock, such dividends shall begin to accrue commencing upon the first date such share is issued and becomes outstanding (the “ Original Issue Date ”) and shall be payable in cash or, at the Corporation’s option, by converting the cash amount of such dividends into Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Class A Common Stock ”), based on the value of the Class A Common Stock equal to (i) so long as the sum of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued by the Corporation that would be integrated with the other shares of Class A Common Stock issued under this

Paragraph 1 under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market plus the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued under this Paragraph 1 does not exceed 5,366,529 shares (as shall be adjusted for stock splits), the price determined by the daily volume weighted average price per share of the Class A Common Stock on its principal trading market as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. (the “ VWAP ”) for the five (5) day Trading Day (as defined below) period ending on the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately preceding the Dividend Payment Date (as defined below), of the Corporation, and (ii) thereafter, the greater of the Book Value Per Share (as defined below) or Market Value Per Share (as defined below) (the greater of those two amounts, the “ Market Price ”), as measured on the Original Issue Date for the initial issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that would be integrated under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.  The dividends shall be payable in arrears (a) first, on the earlier of (x) September 30, 2010 or (y) the last day of the calendar quarter during which the Corporation ceases to be contractually prohibited from paying such dividends, and thereafter (b) quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter beginning in the calendar quarter following such initial dividend payment date and continuing until such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemed (each, a “ Dividend Payment Date ”), provided, that, if any such Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), then any such dividend shall be payable on the next Business Day.  Such dividends shall accrue day-by-day and shall be cumulative, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors and whether or not there shall be funds legally available for the payment of dividends. The term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the New York, New York are authorized or required by law to be closed.  Until it has paid all dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated in this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation may not pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock, the Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation (the “ Class B Common Stock ” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “ Common Stock ”) or any other stock of the Corporation hereafter created that is junior in terms of dividend rights, redemption or liquidation preference to the Series A Preferred Stock (together with the Common Stock, “ Junior Stock ”).  The term “Trading Day” means any day on which the Class A Common Stock is traded on its principal market; provided that the “Trading Day” shall not include any day on which the principal market is open for trading for less than 4.5 hours.  The terms “Book Value Per Share” and “Market Value Per Share” shall be determined in accordance with the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market, as in effect on the date of this Certificate of Designations.
 
2.            Voting Rights . Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not have the right to vote on matters brought before the stockholders of the Corporation.
 
3.            Liquidation Rights . Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Stock, subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock that may from time-to-time come into existence and which is expressly senior to the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in cash out of the assets of the Corporation an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to 100% of the Series A Original Issue Price (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares), plus accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Preference”), for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by each such holder. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full of the Liquidation Preference to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock, then such

assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
 
4.            Conversion Rights . Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no rights with respect to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock or any other security of the Corporation.
 
5.            Redemption .  The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Corporation at any time after the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “ Redemption Date ”) upon thirty (30) days advance written notice (a “ Notice of Redemption ”) to the holder, for a price equal to One Hundred and Ten Percent (110%) of the Liquidation Preference (which Liquidation Preference shall include, for avoidance of doubt, all accrued but unpaid dividends payable to the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock for the period between the Notice of Redemption and the Redemption Date) (the “ Callable Amount ”), payable in cash or, at the Corporation’s option, so long as the closing price of the Class A Common Stock is $2.18 or higher (as shall be adjusted for stock splits) for at least (90) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Notice of Redemption, by converting such Callable Amount into Class A Common Stock at the Market Price, as measured on the Original Issue Date for the initial issuance of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that would be integrated under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Corporation will indicate on a Notice of Redemption whether the Corporation will redeem the Series A Preferred Stock to be so redeemed in cash or, if so permitted under the immediately preceding sentence, in Class A Common Stock.
 
6.            Amendment .  None of the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Designations or in the Certificate of Incorporation shall be amended in any manner that would alter or change the powers, preferences, rights or privileges of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least four-fifths of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class.
 
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the officers of the Corporation are authorized and are directed to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate pursuant to Section 151(a) of the General Corporate Law setting forth these resolutions in order to establish the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Designations associated with the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned duly authorized officer of the Corporation has executed this Certificate of Designations on February 2, 2009.
