Item 1.01 .   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The disclosure set forth below under Item 3.02 (Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities) is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 3.02.   Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

On July 23, 2008, Electro Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a transaction whereby the Company entered into a Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with, and issued a warrant to, the Quercus Trust, an existing investor (“Quercus”).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in exchange for a cash payment of $750,000, the Company issued a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”) with an exercise price of $2.75 per share. The term of the Warrant is three years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrant is adjustable in the event the Company issues Common Stock or securities that are convertible into Common Stock for less than $2.75 per share (the “Subsequent Lower Price”), in which case the exercise price of the Warrant shall be the Subsequent Lower Price; provided that, in no event shall the exercise price be less than $1.25 per share.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Quercus has the option, which shall expire on September 1, 2008, to purchase for $250,000 an additional warrant for the purchase of 635,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Warrant”) and which otherwise contains the same terms as the Warrant.

The Purchase Agreement contains a prohibition from exercising the Warrant into Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate number of shares issuable upon such exercise, together with any related issuance of Common Stock, exceeds 19.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, until the Company’s stockholders have approved the transactions described herein.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to prepare and file with the SEC, a Registration Statement registering for resale that number of shares of Common Stock that is no less than the number of shares of common stock that are issuable pursuant to the Warrant upon the exercise thereof at its initial exercise price, subject to reduction in order to comply with Rule 415 and any other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company relied upon the exemption from registration as set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D for the issuance of these securities. Quercus was the sole purchaser and purchased its securities for investment purposes without a view to distribution and had access to information concerning the Company and its business prospects, as required by the Securities Act. In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for the acquisition of these securities.
