ITEM 1.01.
  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 23, 2010, Builders FirstSource, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Facility”), dated December 14, 2007, among the Company, the Borrowers party thereto, the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, successor by merger to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Trustee, UBS Securities LLC, as Syndication Agent, General Electric Capital Corporation, as Documentation Agent, and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and UBS Securities LLC, as Joint Lead Bookrunners.

Prior to the Amendment, the Facility contained certain restrictive covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1 that was triggered if our excess availability, as determined under the borrowing base formula, fell below a minimum liquidity requirement of $35.0 million. Under the terms of the Amendment, the minimum liquidity requirement was reduced and will now be determined on a sliding scale based on our average gross availability, as outlined in the table below:

       
       
    Minimum
Ninety Day Average   Liquidity
Gross Availability   Requirement
 
     
Greater than $130.0 million
  $ 18.75 million
 
     
Less than or equal to $130.0 million and greater than $80.0 million
  $ 16.25 million
 
     
Less than or equal to $80.0 million
  $ 10.0 million

For further discussion of the Facility and the minimum liquidity requirement, see the discussion in “Part I – Financial Information — Item 1. Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) – 4. Debt” and “Part I – Financial Information — Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010.

The Amendment also reduces the maximum borrowing capacity under the Facility from $250.0 million to $150.0 million.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions set forth in the Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1. The Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.
