Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective January 19, 2011, OurPet’s Company (“OurPet’s”) entered into a Commercial Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with FirstMerit Bank, N.A. (“FirstMerit”) and executed a Promissory Note (the “Note”) for the principal amount of $450,000. The Note matures on July 31, 2011 and provides for interest payments on the principal balance beginning March 1, 2011. The interest rate is a variable rate based on FirstMerit’s prime rate plus .50%, with the initial rate set at 3.750%. The purpose of the short-term loan is to meet additional working capital needs of OurPet’s related to new business growth. Under the Security Agreement FirstMerit was granted a blanket lien on OurPet’s assets consistent with the lien granted to FirstMerit under its other outstanding loans to OurPet’s.
