Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


On October 24, 2008, the Company amended and restated its Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (successor to Fleet Capital Corporation), as Agent entered into on April 14, 2004.  The Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement incorporated the subsequent five amendments to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, extended the term of the agreement by three years to May 11, 2013, decreased the monthly term loan principal installments from $142,450 to $125,500 and increased interest rates applicable to borrowings under the agreement to more current market rates.  The agreement continues to not have ongoing financial covenants and interest rates under the agreement may be selected from a number of options that effectively allow the Company to borrow at rates ranging from the lender's prime rate plus 1.50% to the lender's prime rate plus 2.75% for base rate loans, or at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 2.00% to LIBOR plus 3.25% for LIBOR loans.  Commitment fees ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum are payable on the average daily unused balance of the revolving credit facility.  


A copy of the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K.
