Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Commercial Loan Extension

On February 29, 2008 Optical Cable Corporation (the “Company”) and Valley Bank entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) extending the Company’s revolving credit facilities entered into September 22, 2006 under which Valley Bank provides a working capital line of credit (the “Working Capital Facility”) and a machinery and equipment line of credit (the “Machinery and Equipment Facility”). The Amendments maintain all of the material terms of the Working Capital Facility and the Machinery and Equipment Facility except that, in each case, they extend the term to April 28, 2008.

The Working Capital Facility provides up to $5 million for the Company’s working capital needs and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.15%. The Working Capital Facility also provides a lower interest rate option if the Company maintains specified depository balance limits with Valley Bank. The Company can borrow up to 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable under the Working Capital Facility.

The Machinery and Equipment Facility provides up to $2 million in availability for machinery and equipment purchases and also bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.15%. Both the Machinery and Equipment Facility and the Working Capital Facility are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, furniture, fixtures and equipment and proceeds and are payable on demand with 60 days prior written notice, provided that the Company is not in default. If not extended by the Amendments, the Working Capital Facility and the Machinery and Equipment Facility would have expired on February 28, 2008.

Amendment No. 1 to the Working Capital Facility is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and Amendment No. 1 to the Machinery and Equipment Facility is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.2 hereto. Both the Working Capital Facility and the Machinery and Equipment Facility are incorporated herein by reference.
