Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Note and Warrant Financing

On August 31, 2007, Open Energy Corporation (“Open Energy”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a certain accredited investor (the “Investor”) for the private placement of (i) a convertible note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to acquire up to 1,200,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for a purchase price of $950,000 (the “Transaction”).

The maturity date on the Note is six months from August 31, 2007, which may be extended at the option of the Investor if (i) a trigger event (as defined in the Note) has occurred and is continuing on the maturity date, and (ii) through the date that is ten business days after the consummation of a change of control in the event that a change of control is publicly announced. Open Energy has the right to prepay the note in whole or in part without penalty prior to the maturity date.

The Note will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, with accrued interest due and payable six months from August 31, 2007. The Note will be convertible into Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at an initial price of $0.50, which is subject to adjustment.  The Investor may not convert if the Conversion Shares issued would result in the Investor beneficially owning greater than 4.99% of Open Energy’s outstanding common stock.

If a trigger event occurs with respect to the Note, the Investor may require Open Energy to redeem all or any portion of the Note. In addition to any other remedies, the Investor may require Open Energy to convert the Note at any time after a trigger event at a fixed conversion price equal to thirty percent (30%) of the weighted average price on August 31, 2007.

The Warrant is exercisable for up to 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of the greater of ($0.55) per share or the closing bid price of the stock on the last trading day preceding the closing date plus five cents, subject to adjustment as provided herein; provided that, in no event shall the exercise price be reduced to less than $0.05 per share (such floor price to be adjusted in the same manner that the exercise price is adjusted), and is exercisable for a term of three years.  The Warrant is subject to antidilution provisions.

Open Energy and the Investor have also executed a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which Open Energy has agreed to provide certain registration rights with respect to the Note and the Warrant.  Copies of the Agreement, the Note, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) are filed as exhibits to this report and are incorporated into this report by reference.  The description set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Transaction Documents.

Item 2.03.    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Transaction, the terms of which are described under Item 1.01, on August 31, 2007, Open Energy issued and sold to the Investor the Note in the original principal amount of $1,000,000.  The net proceeds from the Transaction, of $930,000, are expected to be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Item 3.02.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

See Section 1.01 with respect to the equity securities issued in connection with the Transaction Documents.  The issuance of the equity securities will be exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

None of the aformentioned Note, Warrant or shares of common stock which may be issued upon the conversion of




the Note or upon exercise of the Warrant may be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. An appropriate legend will be placed on the shares of common stock issued upon any conversion of the Note or upon any exercise of the Warrant, unless registered under the Securities Act prior to issuance.

Item 3.03.    Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Transaction, the terms of which are described under Item 1.01, on August 31, 2007, Open Energy may not declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on its capital stock without the prior express written consent of the Investor.
