Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations
 
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Effective as of December 20, 2010 , Avistar Communications Corporation (“Avistar”), as borrower, entered into a third amendment to the second amended and restated revolving credit promissory note agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), as lender.  The amended agreement relates to the renewal of a line of credit with the Bank, which Avistar may draw upon during the term of the note to fund its business operations (the “Credit Facility”).
 
 The primary purposes of the Third Amendment were to extend the maturity date of the note from December 22, 2010 to December 22, 2011 and to increase the line of credit from $7.0 million to $8.0 million.  As of December 20, 2010, the total principal amount borrowed by Avistar under the Credit Facility was $7.0 million.
 
The Credit Facility is subject to customary terms and conditions, including several reporting and non-financial covenants.  As security for the payment of its obligations under the Credit Facility, Avistar granted JPMorgan a security interest in and right of setoff against substantially all of the assets of Avistar, tangible and intangible. The repayment of funds borrowed and interest accrued under the Credit Facility is also personally guaranteed by Gerald J. Burnett, Chairman of Avistar, and The Gerald J. Burnett and Marjorie J. Burnett Revocable Trust, who has pledged personal assets as collateral for the Credit Facility.
 
The foregoing description of the Credit Facility as amended, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the amended and restated revolving credit promissory note, the amended and restated collateral agreement, the amended and restated security agreement, the amended and restated guaranty, and subsequent amendments and restatements, which were filed as exhibits to Avistar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2006 to 2009, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for quarters ended March 31 and September 30, 2010, and the amendments thereto which are expected to be filed as exhibits to Avistar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010.
 
 
Section 2 – Financial Information
 
Item 2.01.    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
 
In connection with the Credit Facility described above, as security for the payment of Avistar’s obligations under the Credit Facility, Avistar pledged, assigned and granted to the Bank a security interest in, and right of setoff against, substantially all of the assets of Avistar, tangible and intangible.  Item 1.01 of this Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
 
Item 2.03.      Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
 
Item 1.01 of this Report on Form 8-K describes Avistar’s extension of a 12 month revolving credit facility agreement and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
