Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective as of June 15, 2009, Luna Innovations Incorporated, and its subsidiary, Luna Technologies, Inc. (together, “Luna”), entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Agreement”). Luna has an existing revolving line of credit and term loan with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Credit Facility”). The parties entered into the Agreement in respect of the fact that Luna is no longer in compliance with its adjusted quick ratio covenant in the Credit Facility, as a result of the jury verdict in Luna’s legal proceeding with Hansen Medical, Inc.

The Agreement increases the interest rate on the term loan to prime plus 2% (up from prime plus 1.5%), with a minimum rate of 6% (up from 5.5%). Under the Agreement, Luna agrees not to borrow further funds under the Credit Facility. Also, until the earlier of the next court hearing in the legal proceeding with Hansen or July 17, 2009, the parties agree that (i) the adjusted quick ratio covenant will not be tested, (ii) Luna will maintain a cash balance with Silicon Valley Bank of at least $10,000,000, and (iii) Silicon Valley Bank will forbear exercising its rights and remedies under the Credit Facility.

A copy of the Forbearance Agreement by and among Silicon Valley Bank and Luna dated effective June 15, 2009 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT

THIS FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is executed and effective this 15th day of June, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), by and among SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation (“Bank”) with its principal place of business of 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054; LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (“LII”); and LUNA TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with LII, collectively the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”) with their principal place of business of 1 Riverside Circle, Suite 400, Roanoke, Virginia 24016.
