Item 8.01  Other Events.


Litigation Settlement


On December 3, 2007, Freedom Financial Mortgage Company (“FFMC”) entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) in the November 28, 2006 lawsuit filed against FFMC in the Court of Common Pleas, Cuyahoga County Justice Center in the State of Ohio (the “Litigation”).


Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, FFMC shall pay to Plaintiffs Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) on or before December 5, 2007.  In addition, FFMC shall take all reasonable actions in the Litigation to obtain a monetary award in the amount of $15,000.00 against EZPMG, Inc. in connection with the Motion for Default Judgment that FFMC has been granted against EZPMG, Inc. in the Litigation and shall then assign said judgment to Plaintiffs. The risk of collecting any money from EZPMG, Inc. pursuant to the assignment shall be borne solely by Plaintiffs, and FFMC does not represent, guarantee or warrant that Plaintiffs will successfully collect from EZPMG, Inc. any part of the assigned judgment.


Debt-Equity Conversion


On or about November 28, 2007, the Company converted approximately seven hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($725,000) of short-term debt into four hundred and thirty five thousand (435,000) shares of Series D convertible preferred stock.  Five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) of the former debt was owed to Robert Carteaux, a shareholder and director of the Company with repayment terms beginning in December 2007.  The remaining two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars ($225,000) was owed to unaffiliated parties with repayment terms beginning in March 2008.  Each share of the Series D preferred stock issued in this transaction is convertible, in the Company’s sole discretion, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the average closing price of the Common Shares for the twenty (20) trading days prior to conversion and features a 12% annual dividend.  The other  terms of the Class D Preferred Stock are essentially the same as the terms of the existing series of Preferred Stock.
