Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 6, 2013, Biolase, Inc. (the "Company") amended its credit agreement with Comerica Bank ("Comerica") by entering into Amendment No. 3 to the Loan and Security Agreement (the "Amendment"), in connection with a waiver of noncompliance the Company previously received from Comerica on August 5, 2013. The Amendment reverted the available maximum borrowings under the Company’s domestic revolver to $4 million from $6 million (in addition to up to another $4 million on the Company’s Ex-Im revolver) and revised certain financial covenants, including a financial covenant related to minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. In connection with the Amendment, the Company issued to Comerica a five-year warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a per share price of $2.00. The Warrant may be exercised for cash or on a net exercise basis. The Company incurred a fee paid to Comerica of $8,000 in connection with Comerica's processing of the Amendment.

The agreements constituting the Amendment include the Amendment No. 3 to Loan and Security Agreement, the Warrant, and various exhibits and documents in support thereof, each dated September 6, 2013.
