As previously disclosed, these bonds were tendered back to the Company during October 2007 resulting in a default interest rate of approximately 7% per annum. As a result of the re-marketing, the current interest rate is approximately 2% per annum and will adjust weekly, based on prevailing trends in the tax exempt interest market. These bonds continue to be backed with a Letter of Credit from Regions Bank. Under the terms of the Letter of Credit, Regions Bank is obligated to pay the bondholders, if tendered. There has been no default on these bonds. It is our understanding that this tender was the result of liquidity needs of the various bondholders. The re-marketing of the bonds is indicative of the public's confidence in the Company and its lender, Regions Bank.
