ITEM 1.01       ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
 
On April 1, 2014, James River Coal Company (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”), the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and General Electric Capital Corporation as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent for the Lenders. The Third Amendment:

 
1.
modifies the definition of “Trigger Event Period” by modifying certain liquidity requirements; and

 
2.
modifies a milestone requirement that establishes April 7, 2014 as the deadline for a third party to submit a letter of intent to enter into one or more restructuring transactions (including assets sales or debt or equity issuances) and for the Debtors to deliver certain agreements entered into by any such third party in connection with such restructuring transactions.

The foregoing description is a summary of the material terms of the Third Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Capitalized terms not defined in this Item 1.01 are defined in the Third Amendment.
 
ITEM 8.01       OTHER EVENTS
 
In 2011, the Company issued $275.0 million principal amount of its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”), of which $270.0 million in aggregate principal amount remained outstanding as of March 31, 2014. An interest payment on the 2019 Notes was due on April 1, 2014. The Company did not make this interest payment on the due date. Pursuant to the Indenture governing the 2019 Notes, the Company is entitled to a thirty-day grace period in which to make the interest payment before an “Event of Default” is deemed to have occurred.
