ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On April 30, 2015, ISA Real Estate LLC, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Industrial Services of America, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Offer to Purchase Real Estate (the “Purchase Contract”) with LK Property Investments, LLC (the “Purchaser”), an entity principally owned by Daniel M. Rifkin, CEO of MetalX LLC, a scrap metal recycling company headquartered in Waterloo, Indiana, and the principal owner of Recycling Capital Partners, LLC (“RCP”). Pursuant to the Purchase Contract, on April 30, 2015, the Purchaser purchased a 4.4 acre parcel of real estate (the “Parcel”) from ISA Real Estate LLC for a purchase price of $1,000,000.  The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Purchase Contract primarily for debt reduction and working capital.

Also on April 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company will lease a portion of the Parcel.  The Lease terminates on April 14, 2019, but the Company has the right to vacate the leased premises upon 90 days notice to the Purchaser; the Lease would then terminate immediately upon the Company’s vacation of the leased premises.  During the term of the Lease, the Company is required to pay rent to the Purchaser in the amount of $3,000 per month.  The Company is required to reimburse the Purchaser for 40% of the property taxes on the Parcel during the term.

The Lease contains other standard provisions, including customary representations, warranties, agreements and covenants, as are generally found in commercial leases of this type.

In June 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with RCP pursuant to which the Company issued RCP 857,143 shares of the Company’s commons stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000.50.  In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to RCP a five-year warrant to purchase 857,143 additional shares of the Company’s common stock having an exercise price of $5.00 per share.  Also in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Director Designation Agreement with RCP under which RCP has the right to designate, and require the Company’s Board to appoint, up to two directors. As of the date of this report, RCP had not exercised this right.

The Company sells scrap material to MetalX LLC in the ordinary course of business. During 2014, the Company sold scrap material in the amount of $1.7 million to MetalX LLC.

There are no material relationships between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the Purchaser other than in respect of the matters disclosed herein.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Contract and the Lease do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Contract and Lease, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
