Item 1.01             Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

On January 14, 2010, NexCen Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) amended its existing bank credit facility (the “Facility”) by entering into a Waiver and Sixth Amendment (the “Waiver and Sixth Amendment”) by and among the Company, NexCen Holding Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Issuer”), certain of the Issuer’s subsidiaries (“Subsidiary Borrowers”) and BTMU Capital Corporation (“BTMUCC”).

This Waiver and Sixth Amendment modified certain provisions of the Facility to provide relief from certain requirements related to free cash flow margin and an obligation to issue a warrant covering 2.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock that would have been triggered on December 31, 2009.  The material terms of the Waiver and Sixth Amendment:

·    
extended from December 31, 2009 to February 28, 2010 the trigger date on which BTMUCC would be entitled to receive a warrant covering up to 2.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share if the Class B franchise notes are not repaid by the trigger date;
 
·    
modified the cash distribution waterfall such that in February 2010, provided that the Company’s unrestricted cash balance is less than $1,000,000 and subject to certain other restrictions, the Company will be entitled to receive up to $500,000 to be used to pay operating expenses, provided that such payment will result in a subsequent proportional reduction in the overall reimbursable operating expenditure limits for the 2010 calendar year; and
 
·    
waived existing and expected defaults related to the Issuer and Subsidiary Borrowers’ free cash flow margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and the Company’s failure to grant BTMUCC the warrant discussed above on December 31, 2009.
 
The foregoing description of the Waiver and Sixth Amendment and the modifications contained therein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of such Waiver and Sixth Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Additional information regarding the terms and conditions of the Facility are included in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on August 21, 2008, December 29, 2008, January 29, 2009, July 20, 2009 and August 7, 2009.
