Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Stock Option Plan. On March 28, 2005, the Board of Directors of Monitronics International, Inc. (the "Company") adopted the 2005 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and reserved 1,350,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance under the Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options to employees and officers of the Company.  The Plan is administered by the Company's board of directors or by a committee designated by the board of directors (the "Committee").  Subject to the restrictions of the Plan, the Committee determines who is granted options and the terms of the options granted, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the option and the option's exercisability.  The Plan and the forms of award agreements for options granted under the Plan are filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment to Credit Facility.  On March 28, 2005, the Company amended certain provisions of its $320 million Credit Agreement dated August 25, 2003, as previously amended by the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, between various Lenders, Fleet National Bank, a Bank of America company, as Administrative Agent for the Credit Parties, and Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent for the Credit Parties. Significant amended provisions to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which consists of a $145 million Revolving Loan Facility and a $175 million Term B Loan Facility, included the following:
-  The mandatory reductions to the Revolving Loan Facility have been removed.
-  The Applicable Margins for Eurodollar Advances and Base Rate Advances have been reduced to the percentages set forth in Section 2.2(b) of the Second Amendment filed herein as Exhibit 10.4 and incorporate herein by reference. Currently, this results in a seventy-five basis point reduction to Applicable Margins for the Company's Revolving Credit Facility and the Term B Loan Facility.  Determination of the specific margin to be used will continue to be based on the Company's Total Leverage Ratio.
-  The Commitment Fee Percentage has been amended to be fifty basis points at all times which resulted in a twenty-five basis point reduction at the Company's current borrowing level.
