ITEM 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

STEC, Inc. (the “Company”) has entered into a Credit Agreement, dated July 30, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Wachovia Bank, National Association as a lender and as administrative agent for the lenders thereunder (“Agent”) under which Agent has committed, subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to provide the Company with a $35,000,000 two-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). In the event that the Company makes a loan to any of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company has agreed to pledge to Agent the Company’s intercompany note from such foreign subsidiary. In addition, the Credit Facility will be guarantied by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility shall terminate and all amounts outstanding thereunder shall be due and payable in full on July 30, 2010.

The amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equivalent to, at the option of the Company, either (i) LIBOR plus 0.70% - 1.20% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio at each quarter end or (ii) Agent’s prime rate, announced from time to time, less 1.00% - 1.50% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio at each quarter end.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including, among other things, that the Company maintain a leverage ratio equal to or less than (a) 2.5 to 1.0 at the end of each fiscal quarter until the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008 and (b) 2.0 to 1.0 for the end of each fiscal quarter after December 31, 2008, and a minimum liquidity ratio of 1.0 to 5.0 at all times.

In the event of a default by the Company under the Credit Agreement, Agent shall have the right to terminate all commitments under the Credit Agreement and declare the amounts outstanding, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, payable immediately. In addition, Agent may enforce any and all rights and remedies created under the Credit Agreement, any other credit document or under applicable law.

During the term of the Credit Agreement, and upon compliance with certain conditions, the Company has the right to request an increase in the aggregate amount available under the Credit Facility to $50,000,000.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement is only a summary and is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
