ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
     On September 7, 2005, (the “Closing Date”) Mercury Air Group, Inc., along with its affiliates (the “Company”) and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”) entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement (the “Credit Facility”), which expires on September 6, 2007, or earlier under certain conditions, providing for cash advances up to the lesser of $45,000,000 or the Borrowing Base, including a letter of credit subfacility not to exceed $22,500,000. The Borrowing Base, as defined in the Credit Facility, will be determined monthly and is the sum of: (1) 85% of the Net Amount of Eligible Accounts, other than Accounts owing by the U.S. federal government, plus (2) 85% of the Net Amount of Eligible Accounts owing by the U.S. federal government, but not to exceed $4,000,000, plus (3) 85% of the Net Amount of Eligible Foreign Accounts, but not to exceed $6,000,000, minus (4) Reserves. Based upon the results of the Bank’s pre-funding audit, the net revolver availability as of the Closing Date on the Credit Facility was approximately $38,991,716. The Credit Facility will bear interest equal to either LIBOR plus 225 basis points, or the Bank’s prime rate plus 50 basis points.
     The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, among them a covenant which will require the Company to maintain, in the event Unused Availability is less than $8,000,000, minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratios, as defined in the agreement. The Credit Facility also limits the amount the Company can expend during any fiscal year for (1) capital expenditures and (2) cash dividends and stock repurchases and limits the amount of additional debt the Company can incur for transactions not considered to be in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
     On September 9, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing the opening of the Credit Facility. The press release is incorporated herein to this Form 8-K by reference and a copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
