Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 30, 2007, SMART Modular Technologies (WWH), Inc. (the "Company") amended and restated its Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the "Agreement"), by and among the Company, as an obligor, SMART Modular Technologies, Inc., SMART Modular Technologies (Europe) Limited, and SMART Modular Technologies (Puerto Rico) Inc., as borrowers, and the other obligor parties named therein (collectively the "SMART Entities"), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (successor to Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc.), as lender, arranger, administrative agent and security trustee.

The amendment (i) increases the amount available for borrowing by $15 million, from $35 million to $50 million ($30 million of which may be in the form of letters of credit), (ii) reduces the number and make less restrictive certain financial covenants (as described below) and (iii) extends the maturity date to April 30, 2010, from March 28, 2009.

Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest based on a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin, ranging from 1.25% (if the funded debt to adjusted EDITDA ratio is less than or equal to 1.00) to 2.00% (if such ratio is greater than 2.00). As of May 1, 2007, the amount outstanding under the Agreement was approximately $9 million.

The Agreement contains financial covenants that require the borrowers to maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, an adjusted quick ratio (as defined in the Agreement) equal to or greater than 1.00, an adjusted EBITDA equal to or greater than $50 million (based on the preceding four fiscal quarters then ended), and a funded debt to adjusted EDITDA ratio equal to or less than 2.25. The Company no longer is required to comply with any fixed charge coverage ratio as a result of the amendment. The Agreement contains other customary covenants and events of default usual for commercial lending credit facilities, which did not change materially as a result of the amendment.

This report contains only a summary of certain provisions of the Agreement. Accordingly, the foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.





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