Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 26, 2006, Entrade Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary Nationwide Auction Systems (“Nationwide”), entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with a private lender pursuant to which Nationwide received $6,500,000. The proceeds of the loan are being used by Nationwide and the Company for general working capital matters and to tender final payment to the former owners of Nationwide to consummate the original purchase of Nationwide by the Company. The private lender is an entity controlled by a relative of the Company’s President, which person is also a shareholder and noteholder of the Company.

Concurrently with the loan agreement, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the former owners of Nationwide, including Nationwide’s Chief Executive Officer, whereby the Company paid cash of $1,407,536 to consummate the original purchase of Nationwide by the Company and converted $2,077,608 of accounts payable into notes (the “Settlement Notes”) to the former owners of Nationwide, including Nationwide’s Chief Executive Officer, which at the Company’s option may be deferred and paid over a period of 12 months. The Settlement Notes primarily relate to past due rent in several of the Nationwide locations. Nationwide leases certain of its operating auction sites from entities owned or controlled by the former owners of Nationwide, including Nationwide’s Chief Executive Officer, and in connection with the settlement agreement, the former owners of Nationwide, including Nationwide’s Chief Executive Officer, agreed to extend certain of the Company’s leases for a period of up to five additional years, through May 31, 2011.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

See Item 1.01 for a description of the Loan Agreement and the Settlement Notes.
