Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 2, 2007, the Registrant borrowed $300,000 from Darrell R. Wells, an executive officer, director and shareholder of the Registrant. These funds are to be used for working capital purposes, including repayment of the remaining outstanding balance of the Registrant’s commercial bank debt, and to permit maintaining the Registrant’s existing investment portfolio and other liquidity. The loan is unsecured and has a maturity of June 30, 2007. It is anticipated, however, that the maturity of the loan will be extended by agreement of the Registrant and Mr. Wells. The note evidencing the loan includes a call feature permitting Mr. Wells to demand repayment of the entire outstanding balance of the note at any time upon not less than 90 days written notice. Initially, the loan bears interest at nine and one-quarter percent (9.25%) per annum payable on the first day of each calendar quarter (beginning July 1, 2007). The rate will adjust on each interest payment date so as to equal the greater of six percent (6%) or one percent (1%) over its bank lender’s prime rate on that date. In the event of a default under the note, Mr. Wells may, at his option, accelerate the entire principal balance of and all accrued interest on the loan and increase the rate of interest applicable to the entire unpaid principal balance of the loan by four percent (4%).
 
This loan is on the same terms, in all material respects, as a $5,330,000 loan from Mr. Wells to the Registrant made pursuant to a Second Amended, Consolidated and Restated Promissory Note dated December 28, 2006. A copy of the Second Amended, Consolidated and Restated Promissory Note was filed as Exhibit 10.36 to the Registrant’s Form 8-K dated December 28, 2006.

Mr. Wells is the Registrant’s principal shareholder, chairman of its Board of Directors, and President and Chief Executive Officer.

A copy of the Third Amended, Consolidated and Restated Promissory Note, which also evidences the loan from Mr. Wells to the Registrant made on April 2, 2007, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.37 and incorporated by reference herein.
