Item 2.03                      Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 
On October 4, 2013, Green Ballast, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a secured promissory note to JDK Remainder Trust (the “Holder”) for the principal amount of $208,725 (the “Note”), which includes an original issue discount of $27,225.  The principal amount due under the Note is due on March 1, 2014 or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Holder (the “Maturity Date”).  No interest payments are required to be made prior to the Maturity Date, and the Note may not be prepaid without the Holder’s consent.
 
The Note contains standard representations and warranties in addition to provisions relating to the default and acceleration of the Company’s obligations upon an event of default, including: (i) the failure to pay principal, interest or any other amount due under the Note; (ii) the failure to make a required payment of $50,000 or more in respect of other indebtedness of the Company and such failure continues for 30 days; (iii) the acceleration of the stated maturity of other indebtedness of the Company of $50,000 or more in aggregate principal amount and such acceleration is not cured within ten days of the Company’s receipt of notice of acceleration; (iv) the commencement of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings by or against the Company; (v) the filing of a final, non-appealable judgment against the Company for more than $50,000, and such judgment is not discharged or satisfied within 60 days of becoming due; and (vi) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company to the Holder.
 
In order to secure the Company’s payment of the Note, the Company and the Holder entered into an agreement on October 4, 2013 (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted to the Holder a security interest and lien in inventory which is acquired with the proceeds of the Note and accounts receivable created by the sale of such inventory.
