ITEM 1.01   ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
ITEM 2.03   CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION

On October 18, 2005 GreenShift sold to Cornell Capital Partners, LP a
Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $1,475,000. GreenShift paid to
Cornell Capital Partners a commitment fee of $147,500 in connection with the
sale, and paid a $15,000 structuring fee to Yorkville Advisors Management, LLC.
Accordingly, GreenShift received net proceeds of $1,312,500.

The Debenture bears interest at 5% per annum, payable monthly commencing on
December 1, 2005. The principal amount of the Debenture is payable on October
12, 2007, except GreenShift must prepay the Debenture if it raises $7,000,000
from the sale of equity securities. GreenShift's obligations under the Debenture
are secured by a pledge of all of its assets, subject to Cornell's agreement to
subordinate its security interest to any line of credit that GreenShift obtains
from a bank or other financial institution. GreenShift may prepay the Debenture
at any time without penalty.

Cornell is entitled to convert the Debenture into GreenShift common stock,
provided that Cornell cannot convert into shares that would cause Cornell to own
more than 4.9% of GreenShift's outstanding common stock. The conversion price
will be the average of the three lowest closing market prices during the 30 days
preceding conversion.
