Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 29, 2007, the Registrant borrowed $130,000 from Darrell R. Wells, an executive officer, director and shareholder of the Registrant.  These funds are to be used for working capital purposes (including debt service on the outstanding loans made by Mr. Wells to the Registrant) and to permit maintaining the Registrant’s existing investment portfolio and other liquidity.  The loan is unsecured and has a maturity of June 30, 2008.  The loan was made pursuant to a Discretionary Revolving Line of Credit Note, under which the Registrant may borrow, repay in whole or in part, and reborrow up to $7,500,000 in Mr. Wells’ sole discretion.  This loan is on the same terms, in all material respects, as a $5,630,000 loan from Mr. Wells to the Registrant made pursuant to a Third Amended, Consolidated and Restated Promissory Note dated April 2, 2007, which it supersedes.  A copy of the Third Amended, Consolidated and Restated Promissory Note was filed as Exhibit 10.37 to the Registrant’s Form 8-K dated April 2, 2007.

The note has an initial principal balance (including prior advances) of $5,760,000 and interest in the amount of approximately $132,700 will be payable for the period ending June 30, 2007.
 
The note 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 a named bank’s prime rate on that date.  In the event of a default on the loan, 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%).
 
Mr. Wells is the Registrant’s principal shareholder, chairman of its Board of Directors, and President and Chief Executive Officer.

A copy of the Discretionary Revolving Line of Credit Note, which also evidences the loan from Mr. Wells to the Registrant made on June 29, 2007, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.38 and incorporated by reference herein.
