On November 9, 2004, Thomas Equipment, Inc. (the “Company”), and it’s wholly-owed subsidiary, Thomas Ventures, Inc. (“Ventures”) entered into agreements with Laurus Master Funds, Ltd, a Cayman Islands corporation ("Laurus"), pursuant to which the Company sold convertible debt, an option and a warrant to purchase common stock of the Company to Laurus in a private offering pursuant to exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On July 27, 2007, the Company, Ventures and Laurus amended certain terms of the original agreements to provide for an additional non-convertible secured term note in the principal amount of $20,800,000. Of the net proceeds of the loan, $9,624,206.99 was placed into a restricted account pursuant to an agreement between the Company, Laurus and North Fork Bank and $6,476,245.32 will be held by Laurus as collateral security for the obligation to Laurus. The loan matures on July 27, 2009, at which time each is payable in full. The Company and Ventures may prepay the Notes with seven days written notice by paying the holder an amount equal to 105% of the outstanding principal and all outstanding unpaid interest. The term loan bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% but in no event less than 9% per annum which is payable monthly in arrears commencing August 1, 2007. In addition, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant to Laurus, exercisable to purchase 844,497,199 shares of common stock for a period of ten years at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Company granted registration rights to Laurus for the shares underlying the warrant. The Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission by March 31, 2008 and have such registration statement declared effective by June 30, 2008. In the event the Company does not meet the filing or effectiveness deadline, it is obligated to pay Laurus liquidated damages in the amount of 1% of the principal of the note for each 30 days of delay, not to exceed 10%. In connection therewith the Company also paid Laurus a management fee of $728,000.
