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

On January 3, 2012, Entech Solar, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a Convertible Promissory Note in favor of The Quercus Trust (“Quercus”) in the principal amount of $200,000 (the “Note”). The Note does not bear interest and is payable on demand. At any time prior to the payment in full of the Note, Quercus may, at its option, convert the principal amount of the Note into the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), at a price per share equal to $0.08, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations and like transactions.

The preceding discussion is qualified in its entirety by, and is subject to, the full text of the Note, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Quercus is a family trust of which David Gelbaum is a trustee. Mr. Gelbaum is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chairman of its Board of Directors.

In connection with the foregoing issuance, the Company relied upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the Note. The Note was issued to a single person, who is an accredited investor, and transfer is restricted by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act.
