Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 12, 2011, Delta entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Macquarie Bank Limited, as administrative agent for the lenders named in the Credit Agreement. In conjunction with the Third Amendment, the lenders increased the term loan available to Delta from $15 million to $22 million. Advances on the incremental $7 million available under the term loan are permitted to be made in two tranches of up to $5.5 million and up to $1.5 million commencing on December 12, 2011 and December 19, 2011, respectively. On December 12, 2011, Delta requested and received the first incremental term loan tranche of $5.5 million. Additionally, Delta agreed to pay the lenders an aggregate one-time amendment fee of $140,000, equal to 2% of the incremental term loan availability, in consideration of the financial accommodations extended to Delta under the Third Amendment.

The foregoing description of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 16, 2011, Delta issued a press release announcing that it and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
