Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective February 2, 2012, AtriCure, Inc. (the “Company”) and Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) entered into a Second Loan Modification Agreement (the “Loan Modification Agreement”) and an Export-Import Bank Second Loan Modification Agreement (the “Ex-Im Agreement” and, collectively with the Loan Modification Agreement, the “Modification Agreements”) which set forth certain amendments to the Company’s credit facility with the Bank.

The Loan Modification Agreement provides for a new $10,000,000 term loan in addition to the existing $10,000,000 revolving facility. The proceeds of the new term loan will be used to repay the current principal amount of the existing term loan ($6,125,000), to pay interest and certain fees and expenses and for other general corporate purposes. The new term loan has a five-year term and principal payments in the amount of $166,666.67, together with accrued interest, are due and payable monthly. The term loan accrues interest at a fixed rate of 6.75%.

The Modification Agreements also provide for a change to a Liquidity Ratio covenant to replace the existing Adjusted Quick Ratio covenant. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving facility is determined by the Company’s Liquidity Ratio.

The foregoing descriptions of the Modification Agreements are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Loan Modification Agreement and the Ex-Im Agreement as attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
