Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 23, 2012, in connection with the cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the “Tender Offer”) by BE Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”) for any and all of its outstanding $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.50% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”), the Company accepted for payment and paid for $527,174,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”), entered into a fourth supplemental indenture dated as of July 23, 2012 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”). The Fourth Supplemental Indenture amends and supplements the indenture, dated as of July 1, 2008 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of July 1, 2008, between the Company and the Trustee (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Notes were issued. The Fourth Supplemental Indenture became operative on July 23, 2012 upon the acceptance and payment by the Company of all Notes tendered in the Tender Offer on or before 5:00 p.m., July 20, 2012. The Fourth Supplemental Indenture amends the Indenture to, among other things, eliminate most of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default applicable to the Notes. A copy of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
