ITEM 2.03. CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT

On January 16, 2007, ThinkEngine Networks, Inc. ("ThinkEngine" or the "Company")
entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with VenCore
Solutions LLC (the "Lender"). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Lender loaned
the Company the sum of $1.5 million. The loan bears interest at the rate of 13%
per annum, matures on February 10, 2010 and requires an additional $150,000
payment to the Lender on the maturity date. The loan is to be repaid in six
interest-only monthly installments of $16,250 followed by thirty monthly
installments of principal and interest in the amount of $58,832. The Loan
Agreement contains certain customary non-financial covenants but does not
contain any financial covenants. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company
pledged as collateral to the Lender substantially all its non-intellectual
property business assets and entered into a Negative Pledge Agreement with
respect to its intellectual property assets (the "Negative Pledge Agreement").

The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement and the Negative Pledge
Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Loan Agreement and the Negative Pledge Agreement, copies of
which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and incorporated by
reference herein.

ITEM 3.02. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On January 16, 2007, in connection with the Loan Agreement between the Company
and the Lender, as described in Item 2.03 above, the Company issued a ten-year
Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant") to the Lender to purchase 35,000
shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.47 per share.
The Warrant contains a cashless exercise provision. The issuance of shares upon
exercise of the Warrant is subject to approval of an additional listing
application to be submitted to the American Stock Exchange.

The Warrant was issued pursuant to the private placement exemption set forth in
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The foregoing description of the Warrant does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant, a copy of which is filed
as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
