An initial advance in the amount of $302,280 was made on December 22, 2008, with a second advance in the amount of $311,440 made on February 4, 2009. The note bears interest in the amount of 6.5% per annum, payable in monthly installments of $27,443 for 24 months. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance was $-0-. The note was secured by equipment of Warren Drilling, Co., for which an executed security agreement was filed with the promissory note. Trans Energy has evaluated their relationship with Warren Drilling and has determined that Trans Energy does not have a controlling financial interest in Warren Drilling which would require consolidation.
