Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 20, 2012, Mohawk Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its $900 million five-year, senior, secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) evidenced by a Credit Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2011, by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as Borrowers, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and a L/C Issuer, the other lenders party thereto and the other parties thereto as set forth in the Amendment attached to this report. The Company entered into the Amendment primarily to provide for an incremental term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million, which is in addition to the $900.0 million already available for borrowing under the Credit Facility. The $150.0 million incremental term loan facility has been designated as the “Term A-1 Facility.” Additional details regarding the Amendment and the Term A-1 Facility are set forth in Item 2.03 of this report.

Item 2.03 Creation of Direct Financial Obligation

As reported in Item 1.01 of this report, on January 20, 2012, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Amendment.

The Amendment provides, among other administrative items, for the Term A-1 Facility, which is scheduled to mature on July 8, 2016. The Term A-1 Facility provides for eight scheduled quarterly principal payments of $1.875 million, with the first such payment due on June 30, 2012, followed by four scheduled quarterly principal payments of $3.750 million, with all remaining quarterly principal payments of $5.625 million prior to maturity.

At the Company’s election, the Term A-1 Facility bears interest at annual rates equal to either (a) LIBOR for 1, 2, 3 or 6 month periods, as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.25% and 2.0%, or (b) the higher of the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, and a monthly LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.25% and 1.0%, which are the same rates as are applicable to loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility provided for in the Credit Facility.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Term A-1 Facility to refinance existing indebtedness. Except as noted above, the obligations of the Company and the domestic guarantors for the Term A-1 Facility are the same as such entities’ obligations under the Credit Facility.

The description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
