Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 

On August 3, 2009, ISI Security Group, Inc. (“ISI”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Argyle Security, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, entered into an Eighth Amendment and Waiver (the “Blair Amendment”) to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of October 22, 2004 (as amended) between ISI and William Blair Mezzanine Capital Fund III, L.P. (“Blair”), a fund managed by Merit Capital Partners (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Blair Amendment, in exchange for an amendment fee of $25,000, Blair agreed to waive a default of the negative covenant restricting total indebtedness allowed under the Agreement (the “Blair Default”) and amend the definition of Permitted Indebtedness to increase the amount of permitted operating real estate lease obligations from $750,000 in any fiscal year to (1) $850,000 in the aggregate during the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2009; (2) $1,000,000 in the aggregate during the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2010; (3) $1,100,000 in the aggregate during the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2011; and (4) $1,200,000 in the aggregate for the Company and its Subsidiaries during the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2012 and during each Fiscal Year thereafter. Also the definition of Permitted Indebtedness was amended to separately include any real estate leases entered into specifically in connection with projects undertaken by ISI or its subsidiaries. 

In addition, The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the “Bank”) agreed to waive any cross-default or Event of Default created under the senior credit facility between the Bank and ISI, solely as it relates to occurrence of the Blair Default and ISI and the Bank entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Bank Amendment”) whereby the Bank Amendment added the same restrictions on the amount of the aggregate operating lease obligations as those set forth in the Blair Amendment.

The information set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Blair Amendment filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and the Bank Amendment filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01  Other Events.

The Company has informed MML Capital Partners LLC, in its capacity as advisor to, and on behalf of, Mezzanine Management Fund IV ‘A’ L.P. and Mezzanine Management Fund Coinvest A L.P. (collectively “MML”) of the Blair Default and waivers by Blair and the Bank. Notwithstanding such default and waivers, as well as the expiration of the exclusivity period in the non-binding letter of intent entered into between the Company and MML on June 15, 2009 (the “LOI”), the Company and MML continue to be engaged in non-binding negotiations involving a proposed transaction.
