Item 3.03
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On October 5, 2009, Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp., f/k/a Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment (the “NOL Protective Charter Amendment”) to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Pursuant to the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, the Charter was amended to reclassify the shares of Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock into new shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, respectively (as so reclassified, collectively, the “Common Stock”), that provide for limitations on the transferability of such Common Stock in certain circumstances to preserve the value of the Company’s tax net operating losses.  The proposal to approve the NOL Protective Charter Amendment was disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement that was first distributed to its stockholders on or about September 18, 2009 (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 30, 2009 (the “Annual Meeting”).  The NOL Protective Charter Amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

Common Stock

Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock on matters for which shareholders may vote.  Holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class B Common Stock on matters for which shareholders may vote.  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into one (1) share of Class A Common Stock.  There are no cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred stock, the holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of the preferred stock of the Company. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock have no preemptive rights or rights to convert their Common Stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock.

Except for the restrictions resulting from the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, the shares of Common Stock have the same rights and preferences as the shares of common stock prior to the reclassification.

As a result of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, the Company’s shares of Common Stock are also subject to transfer restrictions such that holders of Common Stock are restricted from attempting to transfer (which includes any direct or indirect acquisition, sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance, pledge or other disposition) any of the shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or other rights to acquire the Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock), to the extent that such transfer would (i) create or result in an individual or entity becoming a 5-percent shareholder of the Common Stock for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the related Treasury Regulations (which are referred to as a “Five Percent Shareholder”) or (ii) increase the stock ownership percentage of any existing Five Percent Shareholder.

Transfers that violate the provisions of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment shall be null and void ab initio and shall not be effective to transfer any record, legal, beneficial or any other ownership of the number of shares which result in the violation of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment (which shares are referred to as “Excess Securities”). The purported transferee shall not be entitled to any rights as a Company stockholder with respect to the Excess Securities. Instead, the purported transferee would be required, upon demand by the Company, to transfer the Excess Securities to an agent designated by the Company for the limited purpose of consummating an orderly arm’s-length sale of such shares. The net

proceeds of the sale will be distributed first to reimburse the agent for any costs associated with the sale, second to the purported transferee to the extent of the price it paid, and finally any additional amount will go to the purported transferor, or, if the purported transferor cannot be readily identified, to a charity designated by the Board.  The NOL Protective Charter Amendment also provides the Company with various remedies to prevent or respond to a purported transfer that violates its provisions, including that any person who knowingly violates it, together with any persons in the same control group with such person, are jointly and severally liable to the Company for such amounts as will put it in the same financial position as it would have been in had such violation not occurred. All shares of the Common Stock that were issued in the reclassification are fully paid and non-assessable.

The NOL Protective Charter Amendment has an “anti-takeover” effect because, among other things, the Common Stock issued in exchange for the Old Common Stock restricts the ability of a person, entity or group to accumulate more than five percent of the Company’s Common Stock and the ability of persons, entities or groups now owning more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock from acquiring additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock without the approval of the Board.

Other Anti-Takeover Provisions

Tax Benefit Preservation Plan. On August 10, 2009, in accordance with the terms of a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan (the “Tax Benefit Preservation Plan”) between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as Rights Agent, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of one right (a “Right”) to purchase one one-thousandth share of the Company’s Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock. Unless earlier redeemed by the Company in accordance with the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, the Rights will become exercisable upon the earlier of (a) the tenth day following a public announcement (or such later date as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, and (b) the tenth business day (or such later date as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) after a person or group announces a tender or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in ownership by a person or group of 4.99% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. The earlier of such dates is referred to as the “Distribution Date.”

The Tax Benefit Preservation Plan is intended to protect the Company's ability to carry forward its net operating losses and certain other tax attributes (collectively, "NOLs").  The Company has experienced and may continue to experience substantial operating losses, and for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company may "carry forward" net operating losses in certain circumstances to offset current and future taxable income, which will reduce federal and state income tax liability, subject to certain requirements and restrictions.  These federal and state NOLs can be a valuable asset of the Company, which may inure to the benefit of the Company and its stockholders.  However, if the Company experiences an "ownership change," as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), its ability to use the NOLs could be substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the NOLs could be substantially delayed, which could significantly impair the value of the Company's NOL asset.  Generally, an "ownership change" occurs if the percentage of the Company's stock owned by one or more "five percent stockholders" increases by more than fifty percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such stockholders at any time during the prior three-year period or, if sooner, since the last "ownership change" experienced by the Company.  A Tax Benefit Preservation Plan with a 4.99% "trigger" threshold is intended to act as a deterrent to any person acquiring 4.99% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock without the approval of the Board of Directors.  This would protect the Company's NOL asset because changes in ownership by a person owning less than 4.99% of the Common Stock are not included in the calculation of "ownership change" for purposes of Section 382 of the Code. The Tax Benefit Preservation Plan includes a procedure whereby the Board of Directors may consider requests to exempt certain proposed acquisitions of Common Stock

from the applicable ownership trigger if the Board determines that the requested acquisition will not jeopardize or endanger the availability of the NOLs to the Company

The Rights are not intended to prevent a takeover of the Company and will not do so. However, the Rights may have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition of the Company deemed undesirable by the Board of Directors. The Rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company on terms or in a manner not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, except pursuant to an offer conditioned upon the negation, purchase or redemption of the Rights.

Undesignated Preferred Stock . The Company’s Board of Directors has the ability to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of the Company.

No Cumulative Voting . The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the certificate of incorporation of the company provides otherwise. The Charter and the Company’s bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting.

Anti-Takeover Statutes . The Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which regulates corporate acquisitions of publicly held companies. This law provides that specified persons who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a publicly held Delaware corporation, or an interested stockholder, may not engage in business combinations with the corporation for a period of three years after the date on which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in advance of the a manner prescribed by Delaware law. The law defines the term “business combination” to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions in which the interested stockholder receives or could receive a financial benefit on other than a pro rata basis with other stockholders. This provision has an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Company’s Board of Directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d)           On September 30, 2009, the Company increased the number of directors on Board from nine (9) to ten (10) and appointed Laura Nisonger Sims to fill the resulting vacancy.  These actions were taken pursuant to the terms of the previously disclosed Private Placement (as defined below) and the approval by the Company’s stockholders of certain of such terms at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on September 30, 2009 (the “Annual Meeting”).  As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), on August 11, 2009, the Company increased the number of directors on the Board from eight (8) to nine (9) and appointed Edward A. Gilhuly, a designee of the Majority Holders (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to fill the resulting vacancy.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company included in the Proxy Statement a proposal to grant the Majority Holders the right to designate a second nominee to the Board.  Such proposal was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting.  In connection with her service on the Board, Ms. Sims will be entitled to receive retainer fees and awards to which all non-employee directors are entitled.

Ms. Sims joined Sageview Capital LP (“Sageview”) as a Principal in 2008. Prior to joining Sageview, she attended the Stanford Graduate School of Business  from 2006 to 2008, obtaining her Masters in Business Administration in 2008. Ms. Sims had previously been an Associate with TPG Capital from 2003 until 2006. Prior to joining TPG, Ms. Sims was an analyst at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in the Communications, Media and Entertainment group of the Investment Banking Division.

In August 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an affiliate of Sageview (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a Senior Secured Note (the “2009 Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000, all of which is outstanding as of the date hereof, and warrants (the “2009 Warrants”) to purchase 16,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Private Placement”). The 2009 Note has a five-year term, which may be extended for up to one 12 month period at the discretion of the Company if certain conditions are satisfied. Interest on the 2009 Note is 8% per annum to be accrued as an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the 2009 Note and 7% per annum paid in cash, subject to increase under certain conditions. No principal or interest has yet been paid on the Note.  The 2009 Note is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries. The 2009 Warrants have a seven-year term, subject to extension in limited circumstances, and an initial exercise price of $1.37, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

(e)           On September 30, 2009, at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment (the “Plan Amendment”) to the Company's Second Amended and Restated 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, to increase the total number of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock available for issuance thereunder from 3,700,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares.  The Plan Amendment became effective on September 30, 2009.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.

The proposal to approve the Authorized Shares Charter Amendment was disclosed in the Proxy Statement.

share of the Class A Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote, and (ii) each share of Class B Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to ten votes.
 
Each share of Class B Common Stock may also be converted, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits, consolidations, recapitalizations and reorganizations).  Each holder of Class B Common Stock that desires to convert its shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Class B Common Stock being converted.  Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, together with a cash adjustment of any fraction of a share as hereinafter provided.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock be converted, and the person or entity entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class A Common Stock on such date.
 
At the option of the holders of fifty-one (51%) percent of the shares of outstanding Class B Common Stock, voting as a class, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be converted (the “ Class B Conversion ”) into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, consolidations, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other like occurrences).  All holders of record of shares of Class B Common Stock, then outstanding shall be given at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of the date fixed (the “ Conversion Date ”) and place designated by the Corporation for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Class B Common Stock, pursuant to this paragraph.  Such notice shall be sent by first-class or registered mail, postage prepaid, to each record holder of Class B Common Stock, at such holder's address last shown on the records of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock.  Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock by the Conversion Date.  Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, together with a cash adjustment of any fraction of a share as hereinafter provided.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted, and the person or entity entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class A Common Stock on such date; provided , however , that if such certificate or certificates are not surrendered by such holder by the Conversion Date, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made on the Conversion Date and such holder thereafter shall be deemed to have a right to receive only such number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Class B Common Stock shall be converted in accordance herewith.

Immediately following the Effective Time, (a) each share of Old Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be reclassified as and converted into and shall become one share of Class A Common Stock and (b) each share of Old Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be reclassified as and converted into and shall become one share of Class B Common Stock (the foregoing, collectively, the “ Reclassification ”).
 
The Reclassification shall be deemed to occur immediately following the Effective Time (the “ Effectiveness of the Reclassification ”), regardless of when any certificate previously representing such shares of Old Class A Common Stock or Old Class B Common Stock, as the case may be (in each case, if such shares are held in certificated form), are physically surrendered to the Corporation in exchange for certificates representing shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, respectively.  Each
 

 
 
 

certificate outstanding immediately prior to the Effectiveness of the Reclassification representing shares of Old Class A Common Stock or Old Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, shall, until surrendered to the Corporation in exchange for a certificate representing such new number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, respectively, automatically represent from and after the Effectiveness of the Reclassification the reclassified number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, respectively.

Section 4.4.2. Transfer Restrictions .
 
(a)           From and after the Effective Date and prior to the Restriction Release Date, no Transfer shall be permitted, and any such purported Transfer shall be void ab initio , to the extent that after giving effect to such purported Transfer (or any series of Transfers of which such Transfer is a part), either (i) any Person or group of Persons shall become a Five Percent Shareholder, or (ii) the Percentage Stock Ownership interest in the Corporation of any Five Percent Shareholder shall be increased. The prior sentence is not intended to prevent the Corporation Securities from being DTC-eligible and shall not preclude the settlement of any transactions in the Corporation Securities entered into through the facilities of a national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system, provided, that if the settlement of the transaction would result in a Prohibited Transfer, such Transfer shall nonetheless be a Prohibited Transfer.
 
(b)           The restrictions contained in this Article 4 are for the purposes of reducing the risk that any “ownership change” (as defined in the Code) of the Corporation Securities may limit the Corporation's ability to utilize its Tax Benefits. In connection therewith, and to provide for effective policing of these provisions, a Restricted Holder who proposes to Acquire Corporation Securities (other than an Acquisition of Corporation Securities in an Exempt Transaction) shall, prior to the date of such proposed Acquisition, request in writing (a “ Request ”) that the Board of Directors of the Corporation (or a committee thereof that has been appointed by the Board of Directors) review such proposed Acquisition and authorize or not authorize such proposed Acquisition in accordance with this Section 4.4.2(b) of Article 4.  A Request shall be mailed or delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the Corporation’s principal place of business, or telecopied to the
 

 
 
 

Corporation’s telecopier number at its principal place of business.  Such Request shall be deemed to have been received by the Corporation when actually received by the Corporation.  A Request shall include (i) the name, address and telephone number of the Restricted Holder, (ii) a description of the Restricted Holder’s direct and indirect ownership of Corporation Securities, (iii) a description of the Corporation Securities that the Restricted Holder proposes to Acquire, (iv) the date on which such proposed Acquisition is expected to take place (or, if such Acquisition is proposed to be made by a Five Percent Shareholder in a transaction on a national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system, a statement to that effect), (v) the name of the proposed transferor of the Corporation Securities that the Restricted Holder proposes to Acquire (or, if such Acquisition is proposed to be made by a Five Percent Shareholder in a transaction on a national securities exchange or any national securities quotation system, a statement to that effect), and (vi) a request that the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof that has been appointed by the Board of Directors) authorize, if appropriate, such Acquisition pursuant to this Section 4.4.2(b) of Article 4.  The Board of Directors may authorize an Acquisition by a Restricted Holder, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that, after taking into account the preservation of the Tax Benefits, such Acquisition would be in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders and, in such case, the restrictions set forth in Section 4.4.2(a) of this Article FOURTH shall not apply to such Acquisition.  Any determination by the Board of Directors not to authorize a proposed Acquisition by a Restricted Holder shall cause such proposed Acquisition to be deemed a Prohibited Transfer.  The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, impose any conditions that it deems reasonable and appropriate in connection with authorizing any such Acquisition by a Restricted Holder.  In addition, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, require such representations from the Restricted Holder or such opinions of counsel to be rendered by counsel selected by the Board of Directors, in each case as to such matters as the Board of Directors may determine and, in each such case, the restrictions set forth in Section 4.4.2(a) of this Article FOURTH shall not apply to such Acquisition.  Any Restricted Holder who makes a Request to the Board of Directors shall reimburse the Corporation, on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by the Corporation with respect to any proposed Acquisition of Corporation Securities, including, without limitation, the Corporation’s costs and expenses incurred in determining whether to authorize the proposed Acquisition, which costs may include, but are not limited to, any expenses of counsel and/or tax advisors engaged by the Board of Directors to advise the Board of Directors or deliver an opinion thereto.
 
Section 4.4.3. Treatment of Excess Securities .
 
(a)           No employee or agent of the Corporation shall record any Prohibited Transfer, and the purported transferee of a Prohibited Transfer (the “ Purported Transferee ”) shall not be recognized as a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the Corporation Securities that are the subject of the Prohibited Transfer (the “ Excess Securities ”). The Purported Transferee shall not be entitled with respect to such Excess Securities to any rights of a stockholder of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof.  Once the Excess Securities have been acquired in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, such Corporation Securities shall cease to be Excess Securities.
 
(b)           If the Board of Directors determines that a Prohibited Transfer has been recorded by an agent or employee of the Corporation notwithstanding the prohibition in Section 4.4.3(a) of this Article FOURTH, such recording and the Prohibited Transfer shall be void ab initio and have no legal effect and, upon written demand by the Corporation, the Purported Transferee shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the Purported Transferee's possession or control, together with any dividends or other distributions that were received by the Purported Transferee from the Corporation with respect to the Excess Securities (the “ Prohibited Distributions ”), to an agent designated by the Board of Directors (the “ Agent ”).  In the event of an attempted Prohibited Transfer involving the purchase or Acquisition of Corporation Securities in violation of this Article FOURTH by a Restricted Holder, the Agent shall thereupon sell to a buyer or buyers, which may include the Corporation or the purported transferor, the Excess Securities transferred to it in one or more arm's-length transactions (including over a national securities exchange or national securities quotation system on which the Corporation Securities may be traded); provided , however , that the Agent, in its sole discretion, shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time frame if, in the Agent's discretion, such sale or sales would disrupt the market for the Corporation
 

 
 
 

Securities, would adversely affect the value of the Corporation Securities or would be in violation of applicable securities laws.  If the Purported Transferee has resold the Excess Securities before receiving the Corporation's demand to surrender the Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported Transferee shall be deemed to have sold the Excess Securities for the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the Agent any Prohibited Distributions and proceeds of such sale, except to the extent that the Corporation grants written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain a portion of such sales proceeds not exceeding the amount that the Purported Transferee would have received from the Agent pursuant to Section 4.4.3(c) of this Article FOURTH if the Agent, rather than the Purported Transferee, had resold the Excess Securities.
 
(c)           The Agent shall apply any proceeds of a sale by it of Excess Securities and, if the Purported Transferee had previously resold the Excess Securities, any amounts received by it from a Purported Transferee, as follows:  (i) first, to reimburse itself to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in accordance with its duties hereunder; (ii) second, to reimburse the Purported Transferee for the amounts paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities (or in the case of any Prohibited Transfer by gift, devise or inheritance or any other Prohibited Transfer without consideration, the fair market value, calculated on the basis of the closing market price for the Corporation Securities on the day before the Prohibited Transfer), and (iii) third, the remainder, if any, to the original transferor, or, if the original transferor cannot be readily identified, to an entity designated by the Corporation's Board of Directors that is described in Section 501(c) of the Code, contributions to which must be eligible for deduction under each of Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 2055 and 2522 of the Code.  The recourse of any Purported Transferee with respect of any Prohibited Transfer shall be limited to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 4.4.3(c) of this Article FOURTH.  Except as may be required by law, in no event shall the proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Article FOURTH inure to the benefit of the Corporation or the Agent, except to the extent used to cover expenses incurred by the Agent in performing its duties hereunder.
 
(d)            In the event of any Transfer which does not involve a transfer of securities of the Corporation within the meaning of Delaware law (“ Securities ,” and individually, a “ Security ”) but which would cause a Five Percent Shareholder to violate a restriction on Transfers provided for in this Article FOURTH, the application of Section 4.4.3(b) and Section 4.4.3(c) shall be modified as described in this Section 4.4.3(d).  In such case, no such Five Percent Shareholder shall be required to dispose of any interest that is not a Security, but such Five Percent Shareholder and/or any Person whose ownership of Securities is attributed to such Five Percent Shareholder shall be deemed to have disposed of and shall be required to dispose of sufficient Securities (which Securities shall be disposed of in the inverse order in which they were acquired) to cause such Five Percent Shareholder, following such disposition, not to be in violation of this Article FOURTH.  Such disposition shall be deemed to occur simultaneously with the Transfer giving rise to the application of this provision, and such number of Securities that are deemed to be disposed of shall be considered Excess Securities and shall be disposed of through the Agent as provided in Section 4.4.3(b) and Section 4.4.3(c), except that the maximum aggregate amount payable either to such Five Percent Shareholder, or to such other Person that was the direct holder of such Excess Securities, in connection with such sale shall be the fair market value of such Excess Securities at the time of the purported Transfer.  All expenses incurred by the Agent in disposing of such Excess Stock shall be paid out of any amounts due such Five Percent Shareholder or such other Person. The purpose of this Section 4.4.3(d) is to extend the restrictions in Section 4.4.2(a) and Section 4.4.3(a) to situations in which there is a Five Percent Shareholder without a direct Transfer of Securities, and this Section 4.4.3(d), along with the other provisions of this Article FOURTH, shall be interpreted to produce the same results, with differences as the context requires, as a direct Transfer of Corporation Securities.
 
(e)           If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Corporation makes a demand pursuant to Section 4.4.3(b) of this Article FOURTH or any written demand with respect to a deemed disposition pursuant to Section 4.4.3(d) of this Article FOURTH, then the Corporation may take such actions as it deems necessary to enforce the provisions hereof, including the institution of legal proceedings to compel such surrender.
 

 
 
 

(f)           If any Person shall knowingly violate, or knowingly cause any other Person under control of such Person (a “ Controlled Person ”) to violate this Article FOURTH, then that Person and any Controlled Person shall be jointly and severally liable for, and shall pay to the Corporation, such amount as will, after taking account of all taxes imposed with respect to the receipt or accrual of such amount and all costs incurred by the Corporation as a result of such violation, put the Corporation in the same financial position as it would have been in had such violation not occurred.
 
Section 4.4.4. Legends; Compliance .
 
(a)           All certificates reflecting Corporation Securities on or after the Effective Date shall, until the Restriction Release Date, bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:
 
THE TRANSFER OF SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE FOURTH OF THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF ACCESS INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AS AMENDED AND IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE CORPORATION UPON REQUEST.
 
(b)           The Corporation shall have the power to make appropriate notations upon its stock transfer records and to instruct any transfer agent, registrar, securities intermediary or depository with respect to the requirements of this Article FOURTH for any uncertificated Corporation Securities or Corporation Securities held in an indirect holding system.  As a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Stock, any Person who is a beneficial, legal or record holder of Stock, and any proposed transferee of such Stock and any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the proposed transferee of such Stock, shall provide such information as the Corporation may request from time to time in order to determine compliance with this Article FOURTH or the status of the Tax Benefits of the Corporation.
 
(c)           Nothing contained in this Article FOURTH shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors of the Corporation to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems necessary or advisable to preserve the Corporation's Tax Benefits.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have the power to determine all matters necessary for determining compliance with this Article 4, including, without limitation, determining (i) the identification of Five Percent Shareholders and Restricted Holders, (ii) whether a Transfer or proposed Transfer is a Prohibited Transfer, (iii) the Percentage Stock Ownership in the Corporation of any Five Percent Shareholders and Restricted Holders, (iv) whether an instrument constitutes a Corporation Security, (v) the amount (or fair market value) due to a Purported Transferee, (vi) the interpretation of the provisions of this Article FOURTH, and (vii) any other matters which the Board of Directors deems relevant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of Corporation Securities owned by, any Person or group of Persons, the Corporation and the Board of Directors are entitled to rely conclusively on (a) the existence and absence of filings of Schedules 13D or 13G under the Exchange Act (or any similar schedules) as of any date, and (b) its actual knowledge of the ownership of the Corporation Securities.  In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Article FOURTH, including any definition used herein, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of such provisions with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. In the event that this Article FOURTH requires an action by the Board of Directors but fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of this Article FOURTH.  All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations that are done or made by the Board of Directors in good faith shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Corporation, the Agent, and all other parties to a Transfer; provided , however , that the Board of Directors may delegate all or any portion of its duties and powers under this Article FOURTH to a committee of the Board of Directors as it deems advisable or necessary.
 
(d)           Nothing contained in this Article FOURTH shall be construed to give any Person other than the Corporation or the Agent any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Article FOURTH.  This Article FOURTH shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Agent.
 

 
 
 

(e)           With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to the Corporation or the Agent provided under this Article FOURTH, (i) no waiver will be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party; and (ii) no alternation, modification or impairment will be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise, or other indulgence.
 
(f)           If any provision of this Article FOURTH or the application of any such provision to any Person or under any circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Article FOURTH.

Pursuant to a unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), the Board adopted resolutions (the “Amending Resolutions”) to further amend the Corporation’s Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on November 14, 2003;

Except as otherwise provided by law or this Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (this “Certificate of Incorporation”), the holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock, shall have all the same rights and privileges as Common Stock, except that the holders of Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders of the Corporation on the following basis:  (i) each share of the Class A Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote, and (ii) each share of Class B Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to ten votes.

 
 
 


Each share of Class B Common Stock may also be converted, at any time at the option of the holder thereof, into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits, consolidations, recapitalizations and reorganizations).  Each holder of Class B Common Stock that desires to convert its shares of Class B Common Stock, into shares of Class A Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Class B Common Stock being converted.  Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, together with a cash adjustment of any fraction of a share as hereinafter provided.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class B Common Stock be converted, and the person or entity entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class A Common Stock on such date.
