Item 2.03 – Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

We have a credit facility with Varde Investment Partners, L.P. (“Varde”), that provides for up to $25 million of capital (counting each dollar loaned on a cumulative basis) over a five-year term ending in July 2009. Please see our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, for more information about the Varde agreement generally. On June 27, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary Matterhorn Financial Services LLC (“Matterhorn”) borrowed approximately $1.0 million under the facility in connection with our purchase of certain charged-off loan portfolios at a cost of approximately $1.1 million. This obligation has a three year term expiring in June 2011, with scheduled minimum principal payments due every six months during the term, and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The timing of payments of principal and interest depends on the collection performance of the portfolios Matterhorn purchased using the funds. Varde has a first priority security interest in all of the assets of Matterhorn securing repayment of its loans and payment of its residual interest in excess profits. Performance Capital Management, LLC, our parent operating company, has guaranteed certain of Matterhorn's operational obligations under the loan documents. Varde may exercise its rights under its various security interests if an event of default occurs. These rights include demanding the immediate payment of all amounts due to Varde, as well as liquidating the collateral. A failure to make payments when due, if not cured within five days, is an event of default.

Other events of default include:
 
-
Material breaches of representations and warranties;
 
-
Uncured breaches of agreements having a material adverse effect;
 
-
Bankruptcy or insolvency of Performance Capital Management or Matterhorn;
 
-
Fraudulent conveyances;
 
-
Defaults in other debt or debt-related agreements;
 
-
Failure to pay judgments when due;
 
-
Material loss or damage to, or unauthorized transfer of, the collateral;
 
-
Change in control of Performance Capital Management, LLC;
 
-
Termination of Performance Capital Management, LLC as the servicer under the Servicing Agreement; and
 
-
Breach of Varde's right of first refusal to finance portfolio acquisitions.

The assets of Matterhorn that provide security for Varde's approximately $1.0 million loan (as well as other loans previously advanced by Varde) include the charged-off loan portfolios purchased using the borrowed funds, as well as other portfolios owned by Matterhorn. Following this borrowing, the remaining availability under the credit facility is approximately $8.5 million.
