Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 5, 2009, The Orchard Enterprises, Inc. (“The Orchard”), together with certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Peninsula Bank Business Funding, a division of the Private Bank of the Peninsula (the “Bank”), providing for a $3 million secured revolving credit facility which was set to expire on February 4, 2010.  On February 4, 2010, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement which renewed the credit facility through February 4, 2011. The terms of the renewal remain substantially similar to the terms of the original credit facility.

The amount of the revolving credit facility is $3 million.  The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow under the revolving credit facility at any time an aggregate amount that does not exceed 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivables.  Outstanding advances made under the facility bear interest at prime plus 4% per annum, provided that the minimum amount of interest shall not be less than 8% per annum and the maximum amount of interest shall not be greater than 10% per annum.  The Company is required to pay minimum quarterly interest of $20,000.  The Company’s line of credit is collateralized by its accounts receivable and inventory and requires the Company to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants principally relating to use and disposition of assets and to the satisfaction of financial covenants (which include meeting quarterly net income/loss projections and cash projections). In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default.  Upon the occurrence of an uncured event of default, among other things, the Bank may declare that all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement are due and payable.  Each of The Orchard’s direct and indirect subsidiaries that is not a borrower with The Orchard under this revolving credit arrangement has guaranteed the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement.   As of the date of this report, there is no amount outstanding under this revolving credit facility.

A copy of the Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.  A copy of the Loan and Security Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 5, 2009. The foregoing summary of the Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement set forth in Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report, which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
