The Series D Amendment limits the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share, of the Company (“Preferred Stock”) relating to, arising out of or caused by the execution and delivery of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 29, 2009, by and among Resaca Exploitation, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Resaca”), Resaca Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resaca (“Merger Sub”), and the Company (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, to receipt of the consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement and such other rights reasonably acceptable to the Company, Resaca and the holders of shares of Preferred Stock representing at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

The summary of the Series D Amendment set forth in this Item 3.03 does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to such Series D Amendment filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07                                             Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

A special meeting of the stockholders of the Company was held at The Fort Worth Club located at 306 W. 7th Street, Suite 1100, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 on Wednesday June 23, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., Fort Worth, Texas time (the “Special Meeting”).

The following table presents the number of shares of Preferred Stock voted at the Special Meeting for, against, and abstaining from such proposal.

The following table presents the number of shares of Preferred Stock voted at the Special Meeting for, against, and abstaining from such proposal.

The third item of business upon which the stockholders of the Company voted was a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there were not sufficient votes in favor of the first or second items of business presented at the Special Meeting.  The following table presents the number of shares of Common Stock, including shares of Preferred Stock voting on an as-converted basis, voted at the Special Meeting for, against, and abstaining from such proposal.
