Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Credit Agreement Amendment

On March 17, 2011, Rotech Healthcare Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement with the lenders party thereto, and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent thereunder (the “Original Credit Agreement”). On March 7, 2012, we entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Agreement that extended the final maturity date from March 17, 2012 to March 17, 2014 (the Original Credit Agreement, as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility commitment of $10,000,000 provided that the maximum outstanding aggregate principal balance at any one time does not exceed $10,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). There was no debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2011.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants similar to those in our indentures governing our Senior Secured Notes and Senior Second Lien Notes. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a maximum leverage ratio above which level we would be precluded from making any additional draws. As of December 31, 2011, we were below the maximum Leverage Ratio (as defined within the Credit Agreement) threshold.

All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's assets. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility is adjusted LIBOR or, at our option, the alternate base rate, which is the higher of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (c) adjusted LIBOR for a three-month interest period plus 1.0% in each case, plus the Applicable Margin (as defined below). The “Applicable Margin” in the case of LIBOR advances is 5.0% per annum and in the case of alternate base rate advances is 4.0% per annum. The default rate under the Revolving Credit Facility is 2.0% above the otherwise applicable interest rate. We are also obligated to pay a commitment fee of 0.75% per annum on the daily unused portion of our Revolving Credit Facility. This summary of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Credit Agreement filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
