Item 1.01.	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.	
On March 1, 2014 Synacor, Inc. (“Synacor”) entered into Amendment Number Four to Google Services Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Google Inc. (“Google”). The Amendment amends that certain Google Services Agreement dated as of March 1, 2011 by and between Synacor and Google (the “Agreement”).
Among other things, the Amendment extends the term of the Agreement until February 28, 2017 and permits Synacor to use alternative search providers in certain instances. Additionally, Google will continue to have the right, as it did under the Agreement before the Amendment, to terminate the Agreement if Synacor experiences a change in control or enters into an agreement providing for a change in control, if Synacor does not maintain certain search and display advertising revenue levels, or upon the two-year anniversary of the Agreement (as amended by the Amendment), in March 2016.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2014.
