Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On December 11, 2009, Patrick Industries, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated May 18, 2007, among the Company, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Fourth Amendment amended certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements. The financial covenants were modified to establish new quarterly minimum consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) requirements that will replace the existing minimum one-month and two-month requirements beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2010.  In addition, the monthly borrowing limits under the revolving commitments were reset in conjunction with updated projected monthly cash flows for 2010.
 
Effective with the Fourth Amendment, borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to a borrowing base, up to a maximum borrowing limit of $28.0 million for fiscal year 2010.  The interest rates for borrowings under the revolving line of credit and the term loan, and the expiration date of the Credit Agreement remained unchanged.  The Company’s ability to access these borrowings is subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facility including the financial covenants.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the actual agreement, which is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.

On December 16, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the amendment.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
