THIS WARRANT AND ANY SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ SECURITIES ACT ”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, DONATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR WITHOUT DELIVERING AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                 FOR VALUE RECEIVED , Electro Energy, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby agrees to sell upon the terms and on the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time commencing on the date hereof but no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 22, 2011 (the “ Expiration Date ”), to The Quercus Trust, or its registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), under the terms as hereinafter set forth, up to One Million Eight Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand (1,875,000) fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), at a purchase price per share of $2.75 (the “ Warrant Price ”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant (this “ Warrant ”). The number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant (“ Warrant Shares ”) and the Warrant Price are subject to adjustment in certain events as hereinafter set forth.

                This Warrant is issued pursuant to that certain Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of even date herewith (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), between the Company and the Holder. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are defined as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

         1.      Exercise of Warrant .

                (a)     The Holder may exercise this Warrant according to the terms and conditions set forth herein by delivering to the Company, at the address set forth in Section 10 prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date (i) this Warrant, (ii) the Subscription Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Subscription Form”) (having then been duly executed by the Holder) and (iii) cash, a certified check or a bank draft in payment of the purchase price, in lawful money of the United States of America, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Subscription Form.


                (b)     This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part so long as any exercise in part hereof would not involve the issuance of fractional Warrant Shares. If exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant, identical in form to this Warrant, in the name of the Holder, evidencing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant has not been exercised, which new Warrant shall be signed by the Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company. The term Warrant as used herein shall include any subsequent Warrant issued as provided herein.

                (c)     No fractional Warrant Shares or scrip representing fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share

                (d)     In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder on the stock transfer books of the Company, shall be delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after such rights shall have been so exercised. The person or entity in whose name any certificate for Warrant Shares is issued upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the Company’s stock transfer books are open. Except as provided in Section 4 hereof, the Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of this Warrant.

                (e)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may not convert this Warrant to the extent that the aggregate number of shares issuable upon such exercise or conversion when combined with any penalty shares issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the original Holder of even date herewith will exceed 19.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance date of this Warrant, until the Company’s stockholders have approved the transactions described herein in accordance with the rules of the Company’s Principal Trading Market. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval as promptly as possible after the issuance date of this Warrant, but in no event later than October 31, 2008.

         2.      Disposition of Warrant Shares and Warrant.

                (a)     The Holder hereby acknowledges that: (i) this Warrant and any Warrant Shares purchased pursuant hereto are not being registered (A) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “ Securities Act ”) on the ground that the issuance of this Warrant is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any public offering, or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of this Warrant does not involve any public offering; and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on the registration exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations hereby made to the Company by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire Warrant Shares for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing this Warrant or Warrant Shares.

                (b)     The Holder hereby agrees that it will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “ Transfer ”) all or any part of this Warrant and/or Warrant Shares unless and until it shall have first have given notice to the Company describing such Transfer and furnished to the Company (i) unless a registration statement is in effect with respect to the Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares, or unless the Warrant and/or the Warrant Shares are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, a statement from the transferee, whereby the transferee represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and will acquire Warrant Shares, as applicable, for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing this Warrant or Warrant Shares, as applicable, and either (ii) an opinion, reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company, of counsel (skilled in securities matters, selected by the Holder and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act and without registration or qualification under any state law, or (iii) an interpretative letter from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that no enforcement action will be recommended if the proposed sale or transfer is made without registration under the Securities Act.

                (c)     If, at the time of issuance of Warrant Shares, no registration statement is in effect with respect to such shares under applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its election, require that (i) the Holder provide written reconfirmation of the Holder’s investment intent to the Company, and (ii) any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares shall bear legends reading substantially as follows:

 

“THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT PURSUANT TO WHICH THESE SHARES WERE PURCHASED FROM THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE COMPANY. NO TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES OR OF THIS CERTIFICATE (OR OF ANY SHARES OR OTHER SECURITIES (OR CERTIFICATES THEREFOR) ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN RESPECT OF SUCH SHARES) SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH.”

In addition, so long as the foregoing legend may remain on any stock certificate evidencing Warrant Shares, the Company may maintain appropriate “stop transfer” orders with respect to such certificates and the shares represented thereby on its books and records and with those to whom it may delegate registrar and transfer functions.

The Company shall remove such legend upon request of the Holder at such time as the Holder is eligible to transfer the Warrant Shares under Rule 144.

                 3.      Reservation of Shares.    The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company further agrees that all Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and will, upon issuance and payment of the exercise price therefor, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof, other than taxes, if any, in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issuance and other than transfer restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws. Upon the issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock to exercise the portion permitted to be exercised at such time.

                 4.      Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Warrant.    Subject to Section 2, this Warrant is exchangeable, without expense, at the
