ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On December 23, 2010, Royal Wolf and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (“ANZ”) amended the ANZ senior credit facility to provide approximately $5,529,900 (AUS$5,500,000) of additional borrowing capacity under a Variable Rate Commercial Bill Acceptance and Discount Facility (the “Facility”) that will bear interest at the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate – Average Bid applicable to the maturity of  90, 120, 150 or 180 days requested upon  the drawing of funds.  All funds borrowed under the Facility must be repaid by June 30, 2011.

ANZ charged a loan approval fee of approximately $50,190 (A$50,000) to enter into the Facility.  Under the Facility ANZ will charge a fee payable quarterly in advance equal to the product of the Facility borrowing limit of approximately $5,529,900 (AUS$5,500,000) times 3.15%.

A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
