Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
   
 
Stock Purchase Agreement
 
On Thursday, September 14, 2006, Covenant Transport, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), executed and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Star Transportation, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Star") from Beth D. Franklin, David D. Dortch, Rose D. Shipp, David W. Dortch, and James F. Brower, Jr. (the "Stockholders").
 
Beth D. Franklin, Star's Chief Executive Officer, has agreed to consult with the Company on transition issues for one year and all Stockholders have agreed not to compete with the Company or Star.
 
The aggregate purchase price for the Star stock was approximately $39 million in cash. The Company funded the purchase price for the stock from available borrowing under its revolving line of credit. In addition, Star had an estimated $42 million in existing debt that became part of Covenant's consolidated obligations as a result of the transaction. The Company will account for Star's operating results on a consolidated basis going forward.
 
Company's Credit Facility
 
On September 14, 2006, in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 and Limited Waiver to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated August 11, 2006, with Bank of America, N.A., (the "Lender") amending the Company's revolving credit facility (the "Amendment") (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). Under the Amendment, the Lender consented to the execution and consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement and made certain amendments to the Credit Agreement to allow for the consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement, including a change in the tangible net worth requirement. In connection with the Amendment and consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pledge the stock of Star as collateral for the Company's obligations arising under the Credit Agreement and Star became a guarantor under the Credit Agreement.
 
Star's Credit Facilities
 
In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, Star entered into a Thirteenth Amendment to Loan Agreement amending the Loan Agreement dated as of March 1, 2000 between Star and the Lender. As a condition to the Lender authorizing the consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations of Star under that certain Loan Agreement dated March 1, 2000, as amended by certain amendments First through Thirteenth, by and between Star and the Lender.
 
In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, Star also entered into Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, by and between AmSouth Bank, an Alabama state chartered bank ("AmSouth") and Star. As a condition to AmSouth authorizing the consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations of Star under that certain Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated March 1, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, by and between AmSouth and Star.
