ITEM 1.01             ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On March 19, 2008, TOR Minerals International, Inc. (the "Company", "Borrower") amended its current loan agreement with Bank of America (the "Bank").  Under the terms of the amendment, the maturity date for the Company's line of credit was extended from October 1, 2008 to April 1, 2009.  In addition, the following revisions were made to the existing loan covenants:

1.        Section 4(B)(i), Borrower's Ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth has been deleted in its entirety.

2.        Section 4(B)(ii), Borrower's Ratio of Current Assets to Current Liabilities has been deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"Current Ratio.  Borrower agrees to maintain, on a consolidated basis, a ratio of current assets to current liabilities (including the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Note) of at least 1.1 to 1.0, calculated as of each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31."

3.        Section 4(B)(iii), Borrower's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, is amended as follows:

"Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.  Borrower agrees to maintain, on a consolidated basis, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0.  "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio" means the ratio of (a) the sum of EBITDA minus the sum of taxes, dividends and maintenance capital expenditures, to (b) the sum of interest expense, the current portion of long term debt and the current portion of capitalized lease obligations."

4.        Section 4(B)(iv), Borrower must maintain a positive net income, after tax, for the preceding twelve-month period has been deleted in its entirety.

5.        Section 4(B)(v), Borrower's Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio has been added as follows:

"Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio.  Borrower agrees that its Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, measured on a consolidated basis, will not exceed 4.50 to 1.0.  This ratio will be calculated at the end of each reporting period for which Lender requires financial statements from Borrower, using the results of the twelve-month period ending with that reporting period.  The current portion of long-term liabilities will be measured as of the date twelve-months prior to the current financial statements."
