Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously disclosed, on August 11, 2008, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with JCP Fund V Bridge Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), pursuant to which we may make loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million. The Borrower is owned by its two managing members who are James L. Luikart, executive vice president of Jefferies Capital Partners, and Brian P. Friedman, one of our directors and one of our executive officers. The loans may be used by the Borrower to make investments that are expected to be sold to Jefferies Capital Partners V, L.P. (“Fund V”) upon its capitalization by third party investors. Fund V will be managed by a team led by Mr. Friedman. As required under the Credit Facility, the members of the Borrower have made capital contributions to the Borrower in amounts equal to not less than 12.5% of the amount of the investments made by Fund V.
In July of 2009, the Borrower exercised its right to extend the final maturity date of the Credit Facility from August 12, 2009 to January 11, 2010; and in October 2009, we and the Borrower agreed to extend the final maturity date to June 30, 2010.
On May 3, 2010, we and the Borrower entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement whereby we extended the final maturity date of the Credit Facility to September 30, 2010 and increased our commitment to make loans to the Borrower by $10 million to an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million. In addition, Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement requires the members of the Borrower to make a $10 million capital contribution to the Borrower. A copy of Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.
