 Item 1.01                     Entry into a Material Agreement

Entry into Purchase Agreement

On June 15, 2012, Juhl Wind, Inc. (the “Company”) signed a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), an Illinois limited liability company, together with a registration rights agreement, whereby LPC has agreed to purchase up to $10.0 million of our common stock, par value $.0001 (the “Common Stock”), over a 30-month period (the “Purchase Agreement” and “Registration Rights Agreement”, respectively).  Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement related to the transaction with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the shares that may be issued to LPC under the Purchase Agreement.   After the SEC has declared effective the registration statement, the Company, in its sole discretion, has the right over a 30-month period to sell shares of Common Stock to LPC in amounts up to 100,000 shares and depending upon certain conditions as set forth in the purchase agreement increasing to amounts up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock, up to an aggregate of $10.0 million.

The purchase price of the shares of Common Stock will be based on the prevailing market prices of the Company’s shares at the time of sales without any fixed discount, and the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares to LPC.  LPC shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that the price of our Common Stock is below the floor price of $.65, which is set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue 407,332 shares of our Common Stock to LPC.  The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any additional cost to us.  The proceeds received by the Company under the Purchase Agreement will be used by the Company for any corporate purpose as determined in the sole discretion of the Company and its management.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement, a form of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

Item 3.02                      Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information relating to the Purchase Agreement contained above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The sole purchaser in connection with the Purchase Agreement was an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) and Rule 506 under the Securities Act. The securities sold may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
