Item 1.01  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 24, 2012 Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. (“the Company”) executed a Promissory Note with Wells Fargo Bank. This document was executed to renew the existing $5 million line of credit and extend the maturity date from July 2012 to July 2013.  The line is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets with the exception of the Company’s retail store assets. Draws may be made under the line at 75% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventories. Interest on borrowings is at prime less 50 basis points, however, at no time will the rate be below 5.00% per annum. Terms of the line require that the line be rested (that is, that there be no outstanding balance) for a period of 30 consecutive days during the term of the loan. Additionally, the line of credit is subject to various financial ratio and leverage covenants.   The Loan Agreement also contains standard acceleration provisions in the event of a default by the Company.
