Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 15, 2016, Rocket Fuel Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to our Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with certain lenders party thereto and Comerica Bank, as administrative agent (“Agent”), as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). The Fourth Amendment provides for a floor of zero percent (0%) for certain LIBOR definitions and a change in the timing for measuring whether the Company’s aggregated cash on deposit with the lenders and other domestic financial institutions falls below $40,000,000 (calculating our balance on the last day of each month rather than on a continuous rolling basis) for purposes of determining whether the Agent has the right to use future cash collections from accounts receivable directly to reduce the outstanding balance of the Company's revolving credit facility.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the Fourth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
