Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On July 16, 2010, Cardiac Science Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), the Loan and Security Agreement (EX IM Loan Facility) (the “EX IM Agreement”) and the Export-Import Bank of the United States Working Capital Guarantee Program Borrower Agreement (“Borrower Agreement,” and together with the Loan Agreement and the EX-IM Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”) relating to a one-year revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). The Loan Agreement amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated April 27, 2010 between the Company and SVB. Under the Credit Agreements, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $15.0 million or (ii) 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable, as defined in the Loan Agreement, plus the lesser of (I) 35% of eligible domestic inventory as defined in the Loan Agreement or (II) $2,500,000, plus the lesser of (I) $5,000,000 or (II) 90% of eligible export accounts receivable, as defined in the EX IM Agreement, plus the lesser of (I) 2,500,000 or (II) 75% of eligible export inventory, as defined in the EX IM Agreement. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company granted SVB a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure its obligation under the Loan Agreement. The Company and its predecessors have maintained a commercial banking relationship with SVB for over 12 years.

     All borrowings under this facility will be classified as current liabilities. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, outstanding balances under this facility bear interest at a fixed rate based on the Prime Rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 2.5%. Interest is payable monthly, on the last day of the month, and all obligations are due on the maturity date (July 14, 2011). In addition, the Company will pay to SVB a non-refundable commitment fee of $175,000 and any unused balances under this facility will bear monthly fees equal to 0.25% per annum on the average unused portion of the revolving line.

     The Loan Agreement and the EX IM Agreement contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including but not limited to, restrictions related to common stock repurchases, liens, investments, capital expenditures, indebtedness, payments of cash dividends and other restricted payments, mergers, acquisitions and other fundamental changes involving the Company or the Company’s assets. Certain of these actions may be taken by the Company with the consent of SVB. In addition, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants, including minimum liquidity levels and a minimum tangible net worth measure. The Loan Agreement also contains standard acceleration provisions in the event of a default by the Company.

     The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, the EX IM Agreement and the Borrower Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1. Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3, respectively.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
