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

On March 22, 2007, Chyron Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Fifth Loan Modification Agreement (the "Agreement") with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"). The Agreement amends the Fourth Loan Modification Agreement dated March 1, 2006, the Third Loan Modification Agreement dated August 12, 2005, the Second Loan Modification Agreement dated March 22, 2005, the First Loan Modification Agreement dated February 24, 2005 and the Loan Agreement dated April 29, 2004 (together, the "Loan Agreement") by amending Section 5 of the Loan Agreement to revise the financial covenant definition and measurement of EBITDA. EBITDA for financial covenant purposes is now measured after adding back stock option expense in 2007. The revised financial covenant requires the Company to maintain, on a year-to-date basis, EBITDA of at least the following: January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007, ($225,000); January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007, $300,000; January 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007, $725,000; and, January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, $1,200,000. Specific minimum EBITDA requirements for the Company for fiscal year 2008 will be determined by SVB upon receipt of the Company's fiscal year 2008 budget and, if the maturity date of the Loan Agreement is extended beyond its scheduled maturity date of April 13, 2008, such determination shall be made prior to the maturity date.
