Item 1.01 Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.

On August 5, 2011 (the “Closing Date”), CVD Equipment Corporation (the “Company”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC”) entered into a certain credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things: (i) a $7 million revolving credit facility with a sublimit of $1 million for equipment term loans (the “Revolver”) and (ii) a $2.1 million, five (5) year term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Revolver is available to finance the Company's general corporate requirements in the ordinary course of business. The proceeds of the Term Loan are being used to pay off existing mortgage loans currently held by Capital One, N.A. and is payable in equal monthly installments of principal, together with interest thereon. The maturity dates for the Revolver and Term Loan are August 4, 2014 and September 1, 2016, respectively.

Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either: (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.75% or (ii) the HSBC’s prime rate minus 0.5%. Interest on the unpaid balance of the Term Loan accrues at a fixed rate of 3.045%

The Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property. In addition, the Company entered in a certain Account Pledge Agreement pursuant to which the Company pledged cash collateral of $1 million to HSBC to secure the Obligations, provided that, so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, HSBC will release $200,000 on each anniversary of the Closing Date.

The Credit Agreement contains customary financial covenants, including covenants that the Company maintain: (i) a Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than $10 million, (ii) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.2:1.0, (iii) a Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not more than 1.5:1.0 and (iv) Working Capital (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than $7 million.

The Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default.

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

The disclosure in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
