Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 19, 2007, StockerYale, Inc. (the “Company”) and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) entered into a Note Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) to the secured term note issued by the Company to Laurus on December 30, 2005 (the “December Note”). The Amendment extended the maturity date of the December Note from December 30, 2008 to June 30, 2010. The Amendment also reduced the monthly payments of principal and interest payable by the Company on the December Note from $121,212 to $60,000.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On June 19, 2007, in connection with the Amendment, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Laurus under which the Company borrowed $2,318,180 and issued a Secured Term Note (the “Note”) to Laurus. The Note is due on June 30, 2010. The Company agreed to make monthly payments of principal and interest on the Note beginning on July 1, 2007. The outstanding principal on the Note accrues interest at an annual rate of 2% above the prime rate, subject to a minimum annual interest rate of 8% (subject to certain adjustments). The Company may elect to prepay the Note provided that (i) if such prepayment occurs during the first year of the date of issuance, the Company shall pay a 15% prepayment penalty, (ii) if such prepayment occurs during the second year of the date of issuance, the Company shall pay a 10% prepayment penalty and (iii) if such prepayment occurs during the third year of the date of issuance, the Company shall pay a 5% prepayment penalty. Laurus holds a security interest in certain assets of the Company.

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold and issued to Laurus an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a per share purchase price of $.01, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000. The Company will use the net proceeds from the Securities Purchase Agreement for general corporate purposes.

The Company and Laurus also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) on June 19, 2007, under which the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
