Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 9, 2010, Pacific Biomarkers, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 2 to its Loan and Security Agreement with Terry M. Giles.

The Amendment is effective as of December 1, 2010.

The effect of the Amendment is as follows:

(i)   to decrease the interest rate on the Remaining Amount (as defined in the Note) from 12.0% to 11.5% and to adjust the amortization schedule accordingly;

(ii)   to add an event of default for a Change of Control, in the event that a majority of the directors on the Board changes following a person or group owning 25% or more of the voting stock of the Company.

A copy of Amendment No. 2 to the Loan and Security Agreement is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K. The summary above is qualified in its entirety to the actual text of the Amendment.
