SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 25, 2014, Enerpulse Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Gordian Group, LLC (“Gordian”) in connection with the redemption of 131,287 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share (the “Subject Shares”) held by Gordian. On May 27, 2014, Gordian exercised a redemption right (the “Redemption”) that had been previously granted by the Company with respect to all the Subject Shares. Pursuant to the Redemption, the Company became obligated to redeem the Subject Shares at an aggregate price of $300,000 (the “Redemption Price”) by no later than 90 days after the exercise of the redemption right, or August 25, 2014.

Pursuant to the Agreement, in full redemption of the Subject Shares and satisfaction of the Redemption, the Company (a) paid to Gordian on August 25, 2014 a cash amount of $200,000 and (b) issued to Gordian on August 25, 2014 a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 (the “Note”).

The annual interest rate on the Note is zero percent. The Note matures on the earlier of (i) August 25, 2016, (ii) the date on which the Company or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries consummates any debt and/or equity financings that, together with any other such debt and/or equity financings occurring after the date of this Note, result in aggregate net cash proceeds to the Company and/or such subsidiary equal to or in excess of $500,000, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event of default.

The Company may at any time, without penalty, prepay in whole or in part the unpaid principal balance of the Note.

The events of default under the Notes include (a) the failure to pay any principal or interest on the due date under any Note and such payment shall not have been made within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of written notice of such failure to pay; and (b) the bankruptcy of the Company. From and after any event of default, interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Note at an annual rate equal to 15%.
