Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On August 26, 2008 (the “Effective Date), Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”), which provides for a three-year $2 million Term Loan and a two-year $3 million Revolving Credit Facility.  The Term Loan was funded on August 26, 2008 and is payable in 36 equal installments of principal and monthly accrued interest.

Borrowings under the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the greater of 6.25% or prime rate plus 1.25% per annum. If the Company achieves two consecutive quarters of positive EBITDAS (as defined in the Loan Agreement) greater than $1.00, and only for so long as the Company maintains EBITDAS greater than $1.00 at the end of each subsequent fiscal quarter, then the borrowings under the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at the greater of 5.75% or prime rate plus 0.75% per annum. The Company paid a fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of $35,000 and is required to pay an additional $35,000 on the first anniversary of the Effective Date.  The borrowing capacity of the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to eligible accounts receivable as defined under the Loan Agreement.
 
The Company's obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets, including its intellectual property.
 
The Company is subject to a number of covenants under the Loan Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed that it will not, without the Bank's prior written consent: (a) sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose, any of the Company's business or property, provided, however, that the Company may sell inventory in the ordinary course of business consistent with the provisions of the Loan Agreement; (b) change the Company's business structure, liquidate or dissolve, or permit a change in beneficial ownership of more than 20% of the outstanding shares; (c) acquire, merge or consolidate with or into any other business organization; (d) incur any debts outside the ordinary course of the Company's business, except for permitted indebtedness, or grant any security interests in or permit a lien, claim or encumbrance upon all or any portion of the Company's assets, except in favor of or agreed to by the Bank; (e) make any investments other than permitted investments; (f) make or permit any payments on any subordinated debt, except under the terms of existing subordinated debt or on terms acceptable to the bank, or amend any provision in any document related to the subordinated debt that would increase the amount thereof, or (g) become an “investment company” as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Loan Agreement also contains a number of affirmative covenants, including, among other things, covenants regarding the delivery of financial statements and notice requirements, accounts receivable, payment of taxes, access to collateral and books and records, maintenance of properties and insurance policies, and litigation by third parties.

The Loan Agreement includes events of default that include, among other things, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of affirmative and negative covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, material adverse change, material judgments, bankruptcy and insolvency events.
