Item 1.01      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 15, 2015, GreenHunter Resources, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2015 (the “Agreement”), with certain purchasers and BAM Administrative Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as agent for each Purchaser (collectively the “Lender”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan (the “Financing”) in order to finance its business pertaining to the storage, transportation, disposal and treatment of water for the upstream oil & gas industry located in the Appalachia region.

On August 14, 2015, the Company and the Lender executed a waiver and amendment to the Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Company has obtained a waiver of the non-compliance of certain financial covenants from the Lender for both the second and third quarters of 2015, June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively. In exchange for obtaining a waiver of non-compliance, the Agreement has been amended to require the Company not to pay dividends on our outstanding Series C Cumulative Preferred stock unless the Company has been in compliance with the Agreement’s debt covenants for two consecutive quarters. The Company may then resume dividend payments, subject to certain conditions. The Company also agreed to temporarily increase its monthly royalty payment as required by the Agreement from $0.10 per each barrel of disposal water to the greater of $0.12 per barrel or five percent of the outstanding balance of the note until certain conditions are met, which includes a requirement that the Company raise $2 million in additional equity by fiscal year end 2015.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
