Item 1.01                                                 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 21, 2011, United Stationers Inc.’s (the “Company”) wholly-owned subsidiaries United Stationers Supply Co. (“USSC”), United Stationers Financial Services LLC (“USFS”), and United Stationers Receivables, LLC (“USR”), and Bank of America, National Association (“Bank of America”), and Enterprise Funding Company LLC (“Enterprise”, and together with Bank of America, the “Investors”) amended the Transfer and Administration Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2009, among USSC, USFS, USR, the Investors and PNC Bank, National Association and Market Street Funding LLC (the “Transfer Agreement”).  Among other things, the amendment extended the commitment termination date from January 21, 2011 to January 20, 2012 and removed Enterprise, a commercial paper conduit, as a funding source.  As a result of removing Enterprise as a funding source, financing is no longer currently available under the Transfer Agreement at a rate based on the commercial paper rate. Instead, Bank of America will provide funding as the existing lender, based generally on a daily reset of the applicable Offshore Rate (as defined in the Transfer Agreement).

Bank of America is also a lender under the Second Amended and Restated Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July 5, 2007, as amended on December 21, 2007, among the Company, USSC and the lenders identified therein.

This summary does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sixth Amendment to the Transfer and Administration Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to USI’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010.
