SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION: The consideration used for Gibbs' historical acquisitions of RWMC common stock consisted of shares of TDP Energy Company, the parent of TriPower Resources, Inc., which he sold to RWMC, personal funds and accrued interest on RWMC indebtedness owed to him. The consideration used by Holdings for purchases of RWMC common stock on March 24, 2005, as described below, consisted of cash obtained from loans from Gibbs and promissory notes payable to the sellers. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION At the time of the acquisition of the Convertible Note (and the underlying right to acquire shares of common stock on March 31, 2004) described in Item 5, Gibbs acquired the shares for investment purposes. Subsequent to June 2004, Gibbs began to evaluate possible transactions that might enable him to acquire a majority or all of RWMC. On March 24, 2005, Holdings entered into a stock purchase agreement ("Agreement") with John Power, Randy Butchard and Allan Williams (the "Shareholders") whereby Holdings acquired in a "first closing" 901,632 shares of RWMC common stock and agreed to acquire in a "second closing" an additional 670,731 shares of RWMC common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,515,781, or $1.60 per share, payable $375,000 in cash and $2,140,781 in promissory notes from Holdings to the Shareholders payable in quarterly installments of $150,000 beginning on the earlier of (i) the date Holdings acquires 100% of the stock of RWMC or (ii) March 24, 2006. The promissory notes are personally guaranteed by Gibbs and secured by the Convertible Note. In the first closing, Holdings paid or will pay $375,000 in cash and $1,067,611 in promissory notes and will pay in the second closing $1,703,170 in promissory notes. The purchase of the 670,731 shares in the second closing is subject to Federal Communications Commission approval of a sale of control of RWMC by reason of RWMC's ownership of control of a subsidiary which owns radio stations and associated FCC licenses. It is anticipated that such approval will be obtained within 60 days. Gibbs intends to acquire through Holdings 100% of RWMC and has agreed to make a cash tender offer to the remaining shareholders at a price of at least $1.60 per share as soon as practicable and to effect a merger at the tender offer price to purchase any shares not tendered. Effective March 24, 2005, John Power resigned as an officer and director of RWMC and its affiliated entities and John Gibbs was elected President of RWMC. The Board of RWMC consists of its existing remaining independent directors, Joseph O. Smith and Peter Hirschburg. Gibbs intends to continue the previously stated objective of RWMC, of terminating its registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") which, if implemented, will result in RWMC's no longer being required to file Page 5 of 8 Pages -------------------- ----------------- CUSIP NO 758058 10 1 13D Page 6 of 8 Pages -------------------- ----------------- reports under the Act and the termination of trading of its common stock on the over-the-counter bulletin board. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Gibbs acquired on March 31, 2004, beneficial ownership of 719,000 shares of common stock of RWMC, which he has the right to acquire on conversion of a RWMC convertible note in the amount of $1,230,000 ("Convertible Note") issued to him in 2001 which first became convertible on March 31, 2004. The conversion price for the shares is $1.71 per share. The Convertible Note was issued to Gibbs in exchange for the sale of 15% of the outstanding stock of TDP Energy Company in an arm's length negotiated transaction between Mr. Gibbs and RWMC. Gibbs acquired 87,444 shares for accrued interest on the Convertible Note during the period from original issuance in 2001 through March 31, 2003. Gibbs also acquired 29,200 shares in open market transactions at various prices during the period between December 1996 and February 2004. At March 31, 2004, Gibbs beneficially owned with sole voting and investment power an aggregate of 835,744 shares of common stock, including the 795,194 shares he has the right to acquire upon conversion of, or as interest on, the Convertible Note. On September 30, 2004, Gibbs obtained the right to acquire an additional 76,194 shares of common stock issuable to him for accrued interest of $110,801 on the Convertible Note through September 30, 2004. By reason of the acquisition of the 901,632 shares on March 24, 2005, Gibbs beneficially owns 2,019,970 shares of RWMC common stock, including 795,194 shares he has the right to acquire on conversion of the Convertible Note and for accrued interest through September 30, 2004. Of these shares, 989,176 are owned by Holdings with shared voting and dispositive power, 206,400 shares are owned by TriPower with shared voting and investment power and the balance are owned by Gibbs with sole voting and dispositive power. Upon acquisition by Holdings of the remaining 670,731 shares under the Agreement, Gibbs will beneficially own a total of 2,690,701 shares of RWMC common stock, including the 795,194 shares he has the right to acquire, representing 81.7% of the shares of RWMC outstanding, including the shares he has the right to acquire. Of these 1,659,907 shares will be owned with shared voting and investment power with Holdings, 206,400 shares with shared voting and investment power with TriPower and the balance with sole voting and investment power. Excluding the shares which Gibbs has the right to acquire, as of March 24, 2005, Gibbs beneficially owns 1,224,776 shares of RWMC common stock, representing 49.0% of the shares outstanding. After the acquisition of the remaining 670,731 shares, Gibbs will beneficially own 1,895,507 shares, representing 75.8% of the shares outstanding.

Notice of the exercise of such option is hereby expressly waived. [For Power Note Only] Following the Second Closing, Maker shall have the right to withhold payments of principal and interest hereunder ("Withheld Payment"), and to pay such Withheld Payment to RWMC or an Affiliated Entity if in the judgment of Maker such funds are needed by RWMC or the Affiliated Entity to meet its obligations; provided that the making of such advance can be made in conformity with all applicable legal requirements; and provided further, however, that the Withheld Payments may not exceed 50% of any quarterly payment or $200,000 in the aggregate unless the holder shall have first reviewed and approved the amount of Withheld Payment and its proposed use by the Affiliated Entity or Entities.

RIGHTS, INTEREST, DIVIDENDS, CONVERSION, ETC. 4.1 Pledgor's Rights Prior to Event of Default. So long as there has not occurred an Event of Default or an event which with the giving of notice of the lapse of time, or both, would be such an Event of Default, Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and powers relating or pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including any rights to enforce payment of the Note, to convert the Note and to vote any shares of stock issued upon conversion of the Note. 4.2 Pledgor's Right to Interest Prior to Event of Default.

Any and all stock received upon conversion of the Note, stock and/or liquidating dividends, distributions in property, redemptions or other distributions made on or in respect of the Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock of the issuer thereof or received in exchange for Collateral or any part thereof or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer or Pledgor may be a party or otherwise, and any and all cash and other property received in payment of the principal of or in redemption of or in exchange for any Collateral (either at maturity, upon call for redemption or otherwise), shall become part of the Collateral and, if received by Pledgor, shall be held in trust for the benefit of Secured Party and shall forthwith be delivered to Secured Party or its designated agent (accompanied by proper instruments of assignment and/or stock powers executed by Pledgor in accordance with Secured Party's instructions) to be held subject to the terms of this Agreement. 2 4.3 Secured Party's Rights in an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or an event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would be such an Event of Default, at the option of Secured Party, (i) all rights of Pledgor to exercise the rights and powers which he is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 4.1 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such rights and powers, and (ii) Secured Party shall receive and be entitled to retain any and all interest, cash dividends and distributions, if any, paid in respect of the Collateral. Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.2 above shall be retained by Secured Party as part of the Collateral and be applied in accordance with the provisions hereof. Provided, however, that Secured Party must provide written notice to Pledgor identifying the Event of Default and allow Pledgor fifteen (15) days to correct such default. 5. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, then, in addition to having the right to exercise any rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of Oklahoma, Secured Party may, apply the cash (if any) then held by it pursuant to Section 4 hereof in the order and manner specified in Section 7 hereof. If there shall be so such cash or the cash so applied shall be insufficient to pay all Obligations and Expenses in full, Secured Party may thereupon sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, in accordance with Section 6 hereof and shall apply the proceeds of such sale in the order and manner specified in Section 7 hereof. 6. SALE OF COLLATERAL. 6.1 Secured Party's Right to Sell Collateral. Sale of Collateral may be made at any public sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, as Secured Party shall deem appropriate. Secured Party shall be authorized at any such sale (to the extent it deems it advisable to do so, in its sole discretion) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral then being sold for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale Secured Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which they may now have or may at any time in the future have under any rule or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Secured Party shall give Debtor and Pledgor at least fifteen (15) days' written notice of Secured Party's intention to make any such public sale or sale at any broker's board or on any such securities exchange. Such notice, in case of public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale and, in the case of sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Secured Party may (in its sole discretion) determine, and Secured Party may bid (which bid may be, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of indebtedness) for and purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral if it shall determine 3 not to do so, regardless of the fact the notice of sale of Collateral may have been given. Secured Party may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Secured Party until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but Secured Party shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, Secured Party may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. 6.2 Secured Party's Right to Restrict Sale. Debtor and Pledgor understand that the Collateral has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state securities acts in reliance on exemptions from registration provided by such acts. The parties further understand that the Collateral may not be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities acts or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the parties that such registration is not required. Debtor and Pledgor agree that in any sale of the Collateral, Secured Party is hereby authorized to comply with any such limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including, without limitation, compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers and/or further restrict such prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral) or, in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental regulatory authority or official, and Debtor and Pledgor further agree that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall Secured Party be liable or accountable to Debtor and/or Pledgor for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction. 7. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL SALE. Secured Party shall apply all cash held by it pursuant to Section 4 hereof and the proceeds of sale of Collateral as follows: First. First: to the payment of the Expenses; Second. Second: to the payment of the Obligation as Secured Party in its sole discretion may determine; and Third. Third: the balance, if any, of such proceeds shall be paid to Pledgor or their assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 8. AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Pledgor hereby appoints Secured Party to serve as his attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which Secured Party may deem necessary or 4 advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party shall, to the extent permitted under Section 4 hereof, have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution payable or distributable in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. 9. MISCELLANEOUS. 9.1 No Waiver. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by Secured Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. Secured Party may extend or renew the Obligation, and grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Obligation or any extension or renewal thereof or any security therefor or to any obligor hereunder or thereunder, and no such action shall impair Secured Party's rights hereunder. 9.2 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when the Obligation is paid in full, at which time Secured Party shall reassign and redeliver (or cause to be so reassigned and redelivered) to Pledgor, without recourse or warranty and at the expense of Pledgor against receipt, the Collateral which is still held by Secured Party hereunder together with appropriate instruments of reassignment and release. 9.3 Addresses for Notices, etc. All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic communication) and mailed or sent via facsimile transmission or delivered to the applicable party at the addresses indicated below: If to Debtor: Gibbs Holdings, LLC Attn: John Gibbs, Manager 807 Wood n Creek Ardmore, Oklahoma 73401 If to Pledgor: John Gibbs 807 Wood n Creek Ardmore, Oklahoma 73401 If to Secured Party: ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- 5 or, as to any party, to such other address as such party shall specify by a notice in writing to the other parties.

Pledgor hereby consents and agree that the issuer of the Collateral, or any registrar or transfer agent for any of the Collateral, shall be entitled to accept the provisions hereof as conclusive evidence of the right of Secured Party to effect any transfer pursuant to Section 6 hereof, notwithstanding any other notice or direction to the contrary heretofore or hereafter given by Pledgor or any other person to such issuer or to any such registrar or transfer agent. 9.5 Binding Agreement; Assignment.
