Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     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 at any time until August 10, 2009. The Borrower is owned by its two managing members which 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 Messrs. Luikart and Friedman.

     In connection with any loan made under the Credit Facility, the members of the Borrower will make a capital contribution to the Borrower in an amount equal to not less than 12.5% of the amount of the investment to be made at the time with the proceeds of the loan. The final maturity date of the Credit Facility is August 12, 2009, subject to a six-month extension at the option of the Borrower to February 11, 2010. As a condition to making any loan, the Borrower must certify, among other things, that the representations and warranties in the Credit Facility are true and correct in all material respects, no Default or Event of Default exists as of the date the loan is made, and the investment to be made with the loan proceeds has received internal approval. The interest rate on any loans made under the Credit Facility is the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus 200 basis points, payable at the final maturity date, or upon repayment of any principal amounts, as applicable. The Credit Facility contains customary events of default and restrictions on the activities of the Borrower. The obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Facility are secured by its interests in each investment. On August 11, 2008, loans in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $31.3 million were made to the Borrower under the Credit Facility.
