SECTION 1. Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 5, 2011, New Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the University of South Florida (“USF”) for filing fees associated with USF’s Provisional Patent and future PCT Applications (the “Applications”) for certain identified technologies (the “Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company committed to reimburse USF for all documented, out-of-pocket costs directly related to the filing and maintenance of the Applications. In return, USF granted the Company the exclusive right to negotiate a definitive option or license agreement with USF for the technologies underlying the Applications for a period of time after USF files a Provisional Patent for an identified technology (the “Negotiation Period”). Should the Negotiation Period expire without the Company and USF entering into an agreement, the Company could extend the Negotiation Period for an additional period of time by paying USF a one-time payment of a specified sum. If after this additional time the Company and USF fail to enter into an agreement, USF is free to enter into negotiations and license the underlying technologies to a third-party.

Pursuant to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 11, 2011, the Company filed a confidential treatment request (a “CTR”) with the SEC pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 24-b2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to have certain confidential portions of the Letter Agreement redacted; a copy of the redacted Letter Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
