Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amended Credit Facility
On November 26, 2014, we signed an amendment to renew our existing $20 million credit facility with TD Bank, N.A. (“TD Bank”) that was due to expire on November 28, 2014.  The renewed credit facility (the “TD Bank Credit Facility”) provides for a $20 million revolving credit line expiring on November 28, 2017.  The TD Bank Credit Facility contains substantially the same terms as the previous credit facility with TD Bank, except for the following: (1) increased the amount of revolving credit loans the Company may use to fund future cash dividends or treasury share buybacks to $10,000,000 from $5,000,000; (2) reduced the fee on unused borrowings to 15 basis points from 25 basis points; (3) modified the definition of EBITDA to exclude certain non-recurring expenses, including without limitation, non-recurring litigation and acquisition expenses; and (4) modified the definition of Operating Cash Flow to exclude unfinanced capital expenditures for the quarters ending December 31, 2014, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015.  Borrowings under the TD Bank Credit Facility bear a floating rate of interest at the prime rate minus one-percent and are secured by a lien on all of our assets.  The TD Bank Credit Facility imposes certain quarterly financial covenants on us and restricts, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness and the creation of other liens.
