Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
New First Lien Revolving Credit Agreement
 
On August 8, 2013, the Company entered into a new $8.0 million First Lien Revolving Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Revolving Facility”) with General Electric Capital Corporation (the “Agent”) and the other financial institutions party thereto.
 
The First Lien Revolving Facility matures on October 31, 2013. Borrowings under the First Lien Revolving Facility incur interest expense that is variable in relation to the London Interbank Offer Rates (“LIBOR”) (and/or Prime) rate.  In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the First Lien Revolving Facility, we pay a 0.75% per annum commitment fee to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments.  The other terms of this facility are generally the same as the Company’s First Lien Credit Agreement, as amended.

By mutual agreement of the Board of Directors and Charles Sorrentino, the Company has amended the terms of Mr. Sorrentino’s compensation package as originally outlined in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 1, 2013 and filed on July 8, 2013.  Under the amended arrangement, commencing August 8, 2013, Mr. Sorrentino will be paid a monthly base salary of $186,000 (the “Base Salary”), which will be prorated for any partial months, and which will be payable in a combination of cash and Company stock as follows:
 
(i)  
One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of the monthly Base Salary will be paid in cash to Mr. Sorrentino in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices; and
