Employment Authorization Expired

Hello:

I got my Permanent Resident conditional status on 04-07-05 and I was getting ready to send in the petitionary form to remove that conditional status, however while going through my papers i noticed that on my 'Emplyment Authorization' Card The issued date was 01/03/2005 and the Expiry Date was 01/02/2006, which was about a year ago!!

I didnt know that i was supposed to renew that, I thought that the only thing that I had to do now was wait and apply 3 months before the 2nd anniversary of my permanent residency status change to get the conditional status removed. Does this mean that i have now been working here illegaly for a year? what should I do? is there anything that i can do to renew that card now? will i get in trouble for not doing so earlier?
 
You do not need EAD since you received your green card. Just apply to remove conditions 90 days before expiration of conditional green card. Your receipt from USCIS extends the validity of your green card for 1 year whilst they process your application.
