Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. 
 
On September 30, 2009, Ecology Coatings, Inc. (“us”, “we” or “our”), and Stromback Acquisition Corporation, an Illinois corporation (the “Purchaser”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Preferred Securities Agreement”) for the issuance and sale of our 5.0% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares, Series B (the “Convertible Preferred Shares”) at a purchase price of $1,000 per share.  Stromback Acquisition Corporation is owned by Richard Stromback a former member of our Board of Directors.  Until April 1, 2010, Purchaser has the right to purchase up to 3,000 Convertible Preferred Shares.  The Convertible Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share.  Purchaser may convert the Convertible Preferred Shares into common stock of the Company at a conversion price that is seventy seven percent (77%) of the average closing price of Company’s common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board for the five trading days prior to each investment.  The Convertible Preferred Shares will pay cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, subject to declaration by our Board of Directors, on December 1 and June 1 of each year.  We have agreed to provide piggyback registration rights for common stock converted by Purchaser under a Registration Rights Agreement.

Fifty percent (50%) of each investment, up to a maximum of $500,000, will be placed in a fund and disbursed as directed by Purchaser to satisfy our outstanding debts, accounts payable and/or investor relations programs (“Discretionary Fund”).

We have agreed to continue to use the services of Mr. Stromback under our September 17, 2008 Consulting Services Agreement to assist us in developing new finance and revenue opportunities.  We have agreed to either extend the notes under identical terms or allow the conversion into our common stock the amounts we owe under promissory notes with Mr. Stromback, Doug Stromback and Deanna Stromback.  In addition, Mr. Stromback agreed to resign from our Board of Directors after the Closing of the initial investment and disbursements of the initial funds in the Discretionary Fund.

The Initial Closing of the sale of the Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Closing”) occurred on October 1, 2009 and Purchaser acquired 240 Convertible Preferred Shares at an aggregate purchase price of $240,000.  Warrant No. 1 was issued to Purchaser granting rights to purchase 14,400 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $.42 per share.  
 
The brief description of the terms and conditions of the Preferred Securities Agreement in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Preferred Securities Agreement.

On September 30, 2009, the Company and the Purchaser entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement for the issuance and sale of Convertible Preferred Shares, Series B at a purchase price of $1,000 per share.  The Initial Closing occurred on October 1, 2009.  The Convertible Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and a conversion price of seventy seven percent (77%) of the average closing price of Company’s common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board for the five trading days prior to each investment.   The Convertible Preferred Shares will pay cumulative cash distributions initially at a rate of 5% per annum, subject to declaration by the Board.
