Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Forbearance Agreements

On April 2, 2007, effective as of March 30, 2007, Devcon International Corp., a Florida corporation (the “Company”) entered into certain Forbearance and Amendment Agreements (the “Forbearance Agreements”) with each of certain institutional investors (the “Required Holders”) holding, in the aggregate, a majority of the Company’s previously-issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).

Pursuant to the terms of these Forbearance Agreements, the parties thereto agreed, as soon as practicable, but no later than ten (10) business days after the date of the Forbearance Agreements (the “Amendment Cutoff Date”), to attach to the Forbearance Agreements a form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations (the “Amended Certificate of Designations”) setting forth certain revised terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, a reduction in the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock to $6.75, allowance for the accrual of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 10% per annum, which dividends may be payable in kind; and a revision of the definition of the Leverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the original Certificate of Designations), which revised definition shall provide for the Leverage Ratio to be calculated as a multiple of recurring monthly revenue (“RMR”) as opposed to EBITDA and a revision of the Maximum Leverage Ratio covenant set forth in the original Certificate of Designations to require such Maximum Leverage Ratio to equal 38x RMR, commencing on June 30, 2008.

On April 13, 2007, the parties to the Forbearance Agreements agreed to extend the Amendment Cutoff Date to April 30, 2007 via an amendment (the “Amendment”) to each Forbearance Agreement. On April 30, 2007, the parties to the Forbearance Agreements agreed to a form of such Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations and attached same to the Forbearance Agreements. As required pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreements, the Company anticipates submitting the form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations to its shareholders for approval at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting.

Other than the Company’s relationship with the Required Holders as holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Company’s relationship with an affiliate of one of the Required Holders, which is the senior lender of the Company pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement, dated November 10, 2005, by and among Devcon Security Holdings, Inc., Devcon Security Services Corp and CapitalSource Finance LLC, as amended from time to time, there is no material relationship between the Company and such parties of which the Company is aware. The foregoing description of the Forbearance Agreements, the Amendment and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the two Forbearance Agreements, their respective Amendments and the form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
