If the judge or jury, depending upon how you go, believes that you deliberately withheld your breath and did not properly blow into the machine, then you will be convicted of agg. The enhancement to agg is the deliberate failure or refusal to blow into the machine. If you don't have an experienced DWI criminal defense attorney, get one now. You have a lot to lose.
