SECTION 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
 
ITEM 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On May 3, 2010, Deep Down, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Deep Down”), announced the execution of a Stock Purchase Agreement, effective as of May 3, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Deep Down, Cuming Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Cuming”), and the stockholders of Cuming (the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to which Deep Down agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cuming’s common stock (the “Acquisition”) for a purchase price of $47 million (less an amount of certain liabilities to be assumed and further subject to a purchase price adjustment for working capital).
 
On July 13, 2010, Deep Down entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Agreement (the “First Amendment”), dated effective as of June 30, 2010, on October 4, 2010, Deep Down entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), dated effective as of July 31, 2010, and on November 3, 2010, Deep Down entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Purchase Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), dated effective as of October 31, 2010.
 
On December 9, 2010, Deep Down entered into Agreement and Amendment No. 4 to the Purchase Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), dated effective as of November 30, 2010, to provide for an extension of the exclusivity period and of the date on which Deep Down or the Selling Stockholder may terminate the Purchase Agreement to January 14, 2011 if the Acquisition is not complete provided the party wishing to terminate is not in breach of the Purchase Agreement.  The Fourth Amendment also provided for modification in the purchase price to $42 million plus or less an amount for net customer deposit assets or net customer deposit liabilities, respectively (the “Purchase Price”).  In conjunction with the entry into the Fourth Amendment, a third party investor working with Deep Down committed to deposit $2 million with an escrow agent (“Earnest Money Deposit”) to be applied towards the obligation to pay the Purchase Price on the closing date if and to the extent that the closing occurs on or prior to December 31, 2010.  In the event the closing does not occur on or prior to December 31, 2010 and certain conditions are not met, then the third party investor will forfeit the Earnest Money Deposit and the Earnest Money Deposit will be delivered to the Selling Stockholders and no longer applied to the Purchase Price.
 
The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
