Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 22, 2007, Lerner New York, Inc., Lernco, Inc. and Jasmine Company, Inc., wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of New York & Company Inc., entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Agent for itself and the other lender party to the Loan Agreement. The obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by New York & Company, Inc. (the “Company”) and its other subsidiaries. The Loan Agreement amended and restated the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Existing Agreement”), dated March 16, 2004, among Lerner New York, Inc. and Lernco Inc., as borrowers, together with the Agent and the lenders party thereto. All capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

The amendments to the Existing Agreement provide for, but are not limited to: (i) an extension of the term of the Company’s existing $90.0 million revolving credit facility and Existing Term Loan to March 17, 2012, (ii) a reduction of certain interest rates and fees under the revolver, (iii) a change in the Borrowing Base under the Existing Agreement providing additional availability, (iv) the reduction of restrictions on, among other things, incurring indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, investments, stock repurchases, and sale of assets, and (v) the elimination of a minimum EBITDA covenant and the addition of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 that the Company must maintain until the $28.5 million outstanding balance of its Existing Term Loan is paid in full and, thereafter only if Excess Availability falls below $10.0 million.
