Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 1, 2007, Kohlberg Capital Corporation (“Kohlberg Capital”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement (the “Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of February 14, 2007, by and among Kohlberg Capital Funding LLC I (“KCAP Funding”), Kohlberg Capital, BMO Capital Markets Corp., as the Agent, Lyon Financial Services, Inc. (d/b/a U.S. Bank Portfolio Services), as the Backup Servicer, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, each of the conduit lenders and institutional lenders from time to time party thereto, and each of the lender agents from time to time party thereto.

The Amendment has increased Kohlberg Capital’s borrowing capacity under the Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement from $200 million to $275 million, extended the commitment termination date from February 14, 2012 to October 1, 2012, and raised the interest spread charged on borrowed funds by 15 basis points, to 0.85%. The applicable interest is based on prevailing commercial paper rates plus 0.85% or, if the commercial paper market is at any time unavailable, prevailing LIBOR rates plus an applicable spread. In addition, the Amendment revised the method for determining the required equity contribution from Kohlberg Capital to KCAP Funding. Subject to certain thresholds, the required equity contribution will be stepped up from $45 million to $60 million, depending on the amount of outstanding borrowings. Under the terms of the Amendment, Kohlberg Capital was also required to pay a one-time, 1% structuring fee on the $75 million increase in the maximum amount of funds available under the Loan Funding and Servicing Agreement at the time it entered into the Amendment.
