Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 14, 2009, Aerosonic Corporation (“Aerosonic”) entered into three unsecured loan agreements (each, a “Loan Agreement” and collectively, the “Loan Agreements”) for up to $2,000,000 in principal amount in the aggregate with attached warrants with each of Bruce J. Stone (“Stone”), Martin L. Schaffel (“Schaffel”) and Redmond Family Investments, LLLP (“Redmond”), collectively referred to as  the “Investors”.  For a description of the transactions and copies of the Loan Agreements, please refer to Aerosonic’s Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 20, 2009, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

On February 19, 2010, Aerosonic entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement for each of the Loan Agreements with the Investors (collectively, the “First Amendments”).  In connection with the First Amendments, (i) Aerosonic also amended the warrant certificates issued to each of the Investors dated May 21, 2009 (the “Warrant Amendments”) and (ii) Aerosonic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, OP Technologies, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“OP Tech”), and Avionics Specialties, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Avionics”) also modified the three 14% Subordinated Notes dated May 14, 2009 (the “Note Modifications”) previously issued by Aerosonic, OP Tech and Avionics to each of the Investors (each, a “Subordinated Note” and together, the “Subordinated Notes”). The original loan documents were previously filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.9 to Aerosonic’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 20, 2009.

The terms and conditions with respect to each of the First Amendments, the Warrant Amendments and the Note Modifications, are substantially similar, as described in more detail below:
 
First Amendments to Loan Agreements:

 Note Modifications

 
·
extended the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes for a period of one year from April 10, 2010 to April 10, 2011;

 
·
removed Aerosonic’s obligation to issue shares of its common stock upon each cash draw down made on or after February 19, 2010;

 
·
revised the ratio of common shares underlying warrants issuable per each $1.00 of principal amount borrowed from “.25 shares per $1.00 of principal amount” to “.20 shares per $1.00 of principal amount” with respect to cash draw downs made on or after February 19, 2010;

 
·
deleted certain negative covenants relating to the issuance of securities;

Warrant Amendments

 
·
extended the expiration date of any warrants issued prior to February 19, 2010 for a period of five years from April 10, 2015 to April 10, 2020;

 
·
extended the expiration date of any warrants issued on or after February 19, 2010 from April 10, 2015 to the sixth anniversary date of the issuance of the warrant certificate; and

 
·
revised the purchase price for any warrants issued on or after February 19, 2010 from $0.64 per share to a price equal to 50% of the volume weighted average of the selling price of Aerosonic’s common stock on February 12, 2010 and for the 19 trading days prior to February 12, 2010, or $1.98 per share.

The Note Modifications do not change the existing interest rate of 14% under the Subordinated Notes and are subordinated to Aerosonic’s existing loans, as set forth in the Subordinated Notes.
