Item 1.02.    Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 1, 2010, inTEST Corporation (the "Company") paid off the remaining $1.2 million in notes payable to stockholders (the "Notes") and related accrued interest. The Notes were issued in connection with the acquisition of Sigma Systems Corporation ("Sigma") by the Company in October 2008, and were payable to the two trusts that had owned Sigma (the "Former Sigma Owners"). In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into a Security Agreement that granted a lien on the assets of Sigma to the Former Sigma Owners, until such time as the Notes were fully paid off. With the pay off of the notes, the Security Agreement is no longer effective.

The Notes were paid off because the Company had excess cash and the interest rate on the Notes, prime plus 1.25%, was significantly higher than the interest rate currently earned by the Company on its invested excess cash. There were no early termination penalties related to the prepayment of the Notes.

The Security Agreement and Notes were previously filed as Exhibits 10.17, 10.18 and 10.19 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K dated December 31, 2008.
