ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On October 28, 2005, Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") entered

pursuant to which NCBC committed to provide to the Company (i) a $10.0 million
asset based revolving credit facility and (ii) a $3.5 million term loan
facility, both of which have a three year term. The Company intends to use the
proceeds of the credit facility to refinance the Company's existing credit

corporate purposes. The commitment letter is subject to certain customary
conditions to closing, including satisfactory completion of documentation. The
definitive credit agreement is expected to contain affirmative and negative

conditions.
