  adjustment.&#160; A portion of the stock and
  cash will be held in escrow for an eighteen month period to serve as a fund for
  indemnification obligations provided for in the Stock Purchase Agreement.&#160; The cash portion of the purchase price was

  Item
    2.01
  Completion
    of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
  Badger Transport, Inc.
  Acquisition
  On
  June 4, 2008, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 24,
  2008 between Broadwind Energy, Inc. (the "Company"), Badger Transport, Inc.
  ("Badger") and the sole shareholder of Badger (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"),
  the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of
  Badger ("Closing").  The purchase price
  for the Badger acquisition consisted of cash and shares of Company common stock
  ("Common Stock"). The Common Stock portion of the purchase price consisted of
  581,959 shares, which was calculated based on a price per share of $10.31,
  which represented the average of the closing sale price for the 30 trading days
  immediately preceding the date of signing. 
  The cash portion of the purchase price was approximately $5,811,000,
  which may be decreased in accordance with a net working capital
  adjustment.  A portion of the stock and
  cash will be held in escrow for an eighteen month period to serve as a fund for
  indemnification obligations provided for in the Stock Purchase Agreement.  The cash portion of the purchase price was
  funded through equity financing, the terms of which are disclosed in the
  Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 22, 2008.
  Upon
  Closing, the Company entered into an employment agreement with the former
  President and sole shareholder of Badger, Alan F. Johnson Jr., pursuant to
  which Mr. Johnson will serve as President of Badger.
  Upon
  Closing, the Company executed a Registration Rights Agreement with Mr. Johnson.  The Registration Rights Agreement grants to Mr. Johnson
  certain limited piggyback registration rights with respect to resale of the
  shares of Common Stock issued to Mr. Johnson pursuant to the
  Agreement.  The registration rights
  granted under the Registration Rights Agreement terminate  when the securities held by Mr. Johnson
  have: (i) been effectively registered and disposed of in accordance with a
  registration statement; (ii) been sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144
  (or by similar provision under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
  Act")); or (iii) are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) (or
  by similar provision under the Securities Act).
  The
  foregoing summaries of the Badger acquisition and the related Registration
  Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their
  entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was
  previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K
  filed April 30, 2008 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the
  Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2
  and is incorporated herein by reference.
  Tontine Financing
  On
  June 5, 2008, the Company sold 7,537,688 shares of Common Stock in a
  private placement at a price of $7.96 per share for a total purchase price of
  approximately $60,000,000 (the "Second Closing Shares"), pursuant to the second
  closing of a previously disclosed Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 22,
  2008 (the "April 2008 SPA") among the Company, Tontine Capital Partners,
  L.P. ("TCP"), Tontine Partners, L.P. ("TP"), Tontine Overseas Fund, Ltd. ("TOF")
  and Tontine 25 Overseas Master Fund, L.P. ("T25") (collectively, TCP, TP, TOF
  and T25, together with their affiliates, "Tontine"). The April 2008 SPA
  provided for purchases in two installments of an aggregate of 12,562,814 newly
  issued shares of Common Stock by Tontine at a price of $7.96 per share for a
  total purchase price of approximately $100,000,000. The closing of the second
  installment was subject to the expiration or early termination of the waiting
  period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as
  amended (the "HSR Waiting Period"). 
  Early termination of the HSR Waiting Period was granted by the Federal
  Trade Commission on May 30, 2008.
  2
  The
  closing of the first installment under the April 2008 SPA occurred on April 24,
  2008 (the "First Closing") and resulted in the purchase by TP, TOF and T25 of
  an aggregate 5,025,126 shares of Common Stock for a total purchase price of
  approximately $40,000,000 (the "First Closing Shares," and together with the
  Second Closing Shares, the "Shares"). 
  The April 2008 SPA is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current
  Report on Form 8-K filed April 28, 2008 and is incorporated herein by
  reference.
  The
  Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Shares for general working
  capital requirements, capital expansion projects and to finance acquisitions.
  Prior
  to the Second Closing, Tontine owned approximately 44% of the Company's issued
  and outstanding Common Stock, the majority of which was issued pursuant to
  private agreements between the Company and Tontine entered into on March 1,
  2007 (the "March 2007 SPA"), August 22, 2007 (the "August 2007 SPA") and January 3,
  2008 (the "January 2008 SPA"), the terms of which are described in the
  Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed March 5, 2007, August 24,
  2007 and January 4, 2008, respectively. 
  Tontine has also purchased shares of Company Common Stock in private
  transactions with certain officers and directors of the Company and their
  family members.  In connection with the March 2007
  SPA, the August 2007 SPA and the January 2008 SPA, the Company agreed
  that for so long as Tontine holds at least 10% of the then issued and
  outstanding Common Stock, Tontine shall have the right to appoint two members
  of the Company's board of directors and have a representative attend meetings
  of the Company's Board of Directors as an observer, and that for so long as
  Tontine holds at least 20% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock,
  Tontine shall have the right to appoint three members of the Company's Board of
  Directors.  In addition, the Company has
  approved the acquisition of its Common Stock by Tontine such that Tontine will
  not be subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Nevada Revised
  Statutes.  The Company has agreed that it
  will not revoke such approval and that it will use its best efforts to ensure
  that any future acquisitions by Tontine shall not be subject to anti-takeover
  provisions included in any of the Company's organizational documents or the
  laws and regulations of any governmental authority.
  Pursuant
  to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the March 2007
  SPA and amended in connection with the August 2007 SPA, Tontine has demand
  and piggyback registration rights for all its shares of Company Common
  Stock.   The Registration Rights Agreement
  is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K
  filed March 5, 2007, and the Amendment to the Registration Rights
  Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K
  filed October 24, 2007.
  The
  foregoing summaries of Tontine's equity investment do not purport to be
  complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the April 2008
  SPA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current
  Report on Form 8-K filed April 28, 2008, and is incorporated herein
  by reference.
  Item 3.02
  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
  The information set forth in Item 2.01 above with
  respect to the sale of
  581,959 shares of Company Common Stock to the sole
  shareholder of Badger Transport and 7,537,688 shares of Company Common Stock to TCP in transactions that are not
  registered under the Securities Act is incorporated herein by reference.
  The Company believes that each of the above
  transactions was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
  Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated

  representations and warranties made by such offerees in the particular
  transactions, or the identity of such offerees as either accredited investors
  or an executive officer or director of the Company.
