ITEM 1.01.
ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
 
On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with a regional bank to provide a $20,000,000 line of credit that expires on June 30, 2013.  The Company’s previous debt facility, with a different lender, was going to expire at the end of 2010.  Interest on the new Credit Agreement is calculated using the One Month LIBOR Rate, plus a pre-defined spread, which is determined by the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio. Borrowings under the line of credit are limited to an amount equal to a borrowing base calculation that includes eligible accounts receivable, inventories and cash surrender value of the Company’s life insurance. Additionally, the credit facility requires an agreement not to pledge the fixed assets of the Company.  Covenants under the new agreement include maintaining a certain Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, and total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. The Company will also be limited to a maximum amount of capital expenditures per year, which is in line with the Company’s currently projected needs.  Management does not believe that these covenants and restrictions will have an adverse effect on its operations.
