Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 12, 2018, we entered into an amendment to the amended and restated loan and security agreement we entered into with East West Bank (EWB) on November 29, 2017.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the amendment:

	●	EWB waived our minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant default for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017.

	●	The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant was suspended for 2018, and as a result, we are not required to satisfy this covenant until the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

	●	A covenant was added under which we are required to achieve the minimum Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) set forth below for the period indicated:

Six Month Period Ending	Minimum Adjusted EBITDA
March 31, 2018	$	600,000
June 30, 2018	$	1,200,000
September 30, 2018	$	1,600,000
December 31, 2018	$	1,500,000

“Adjusted EBITDA” is (a) EBITDA, plus (b) other noncash expenses and charges, plus (c) to the extent approved by EWB, other onetime charges, plus (d) to the extent approved by EWB, any losses arising from the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of assets not in the ordinary course of business plus (e) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017, the non-cash inventory write-off expenses. “EBITDA” is (a) net income, plus (b) interest expense, plus (c) to the extent deducted in the calculation of net income, depreciation expense and amortization expense, plus (d) income tax expense.

The foregoing summary description of the amendment to the amended and restated loan agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy thereof, which is filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
