Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement

On April 30, 2015 Lyris, Inc. (“the Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lyris Technologies, Inc. and Commodore Resources (Nevada), Inc. (each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Second Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“Bank”). The Amendment revises the terms of the Agreement entered into on May 6, 2013, by and among the Bank and the Borrowers.

The amendment extends the maturity of the Agreement to August 31, 2015 and modifies the financial covenants as follows:

      1)     Commencing with the monthly period ended March 31, 2015, and as of the last day of each month ending thereafter, achieve a minimum EBITDA, measured on a trailing three month basis, equal to or greater than (maximum loss no worse than) ($300,000).
2) Liquidity Ratio. A ratio, tested monthly, as of the last day of each month, of (i) the sum of (A) unrestricted cash at Bank (which unrestricted cash at Bank shall be at least $500,000) plus (B) net billed accounts receivable to (ii) all outstanding Obligations of Borrower owed to Bank of not less than 1.00:1.00.

In addition, the definition of EBITDA is modified to allow for the add back of certain one-time, non-cash expenses acceptable to Bank, in its sole discretion, as determined on a case-by-case basis.

The foregoing is qualified by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is included as Exhibits 99.1, to this report and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
