Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 4, 2010 Design Source, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which the Company merged with its newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation ("Merger Sub" and such merger transaction, the "Merger"). Upon the consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased and shareholders of the Company became shareholders of the surviving company named InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp..

As permitted by Chapter 92A.180 of Nevada Revised Statutes, the sole purpose of the Merger was to effect a change of the Company's name. Upon the filing of Articles of Merger (the "Articles of Merger") with the Secretary of State of Nevada on October 4, 2010 to effect the Merger, the Company's articles of incorporation were deemed amended to reflect the change in the Company's corporate name.

A copy of the Articles of Merger and Agreement and Plan of Merger as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on October 4, 2010 are attached as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2.

The Company's common stock will temporarily remain listed for quotation on OTC Markets and the OTC Bulletin Board under the current symbol “DSGS” until new a symbol is assigned by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). The Company will publicly announce the new trading symbol when assigned by FINRA and the effective date of the symbol change.

We are currently engaged in discussions with InVivo Therapeutics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“InVivo”), regarding a possible business combination involving the two companies.  At this stage, no definitive terms have been agreed to, and neither party is currently bound to proceed with the transaction.  With the permission of InVivo and as provided herein, we have changed our name to “InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp.” to facilitate these discussions.  If the parties determine not to proceed with the business combination, we will change our name back to Design Source, Inc. or adopt another name.
