ITEM 1.01  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
 
On October 20, 2010, RELM Wireless Corporation (the “Registrant”), RELM Communications, Inc., the Registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary,  and Silicon Valley Bank, as lender (“SVB”), amended their Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 23, 2008 (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), under which the Registrant’s existing secured revolving credit facility is maintained, by entering into the First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”).  Under  the First Amendment, the Registrant’s existing secured revolving credit facility with SVB was  amended as follows:
 
      
maximum borrowing availability has been increased to $5.0 million from $3.5 million;
 
      
the maturity date has been extended to December 31, 2012 from October 23, 2010;
 
      
the variable rate at which borrowings bear interest has been reduced to prime rate plus 50 basis points from prime rate plus 100 basis points (such 100 basis points previously subject to reduction of 50 basis points anytime the Registrant’s quarterly net income was greater than $1.0 million); and
 
      
the Registrant’s minimum “tangible net worth” requirement has been reset at $25.35 million,  such minimum requirement still continuing to be subject to increase by (i) 50% of quarterly net profits and (ii) 75% of the net proceeds received from issuances of equity and issuances of “subordinated debt”; and
 
      
the unused revolving line fee has been reduced to 20 basis points from 30 basis points.
 
The Registrant continues to be subject to the substantially same customary borrowing terms and conditions under the SVB credit facility as it was prior to the First Amendment, including the accuracy of representations and warranties, compliance with financial maintenance and restrictive covenants and the absence of events of default.
 
The Registrant was in compliance with all covenants under the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, as of the date of filing this Current Report on Form 8-K.  As of the date of filing this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Registrant had $2.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the amended SVB credit facility and approximately $1.1 million of additional borrowing availability thereunder.
 
The foregoing description of the SVB credit facility and the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the First Amendment filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.
