Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On July 10, 2014, GrowLife, Inc. (“GrowLife” or the “Company”), closed a Waiver and Modification Agreement, Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement, Secured Credit Facility and Secured Convertible Note.


Previously, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with CANX USA LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company and CANX formed Organic Growth International, LLC (“OGI”), a Nevada limited liability company, for the purpose of expanding the Company’s operations in its current retail hydroponic businesses and in other synergistic business verticals and facilitating additional funding for commercially financeable transactions of up to $40,000,000. In connection with the closing of the Agreement, CANX agreed to provide a commitment for funding in the amount of $1,300,000 for a GrowLife Infrastructure Funding Technology program transaction and provided additional funding under a 7% Convertible Note instrument for $1,000,000. The Company initially owned a non-dilutive forty five percent (45%) share of OGI and the Company may acquire a controlling share of OGI as provided in the Joint Venture Agreement. In accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company and CANX entered into a Warrant Agreement whereby the Company delivered to CANX a warrant to purchase 140,000,000 shares of the Company common stock at a maximum strike price of $0.033 per share. Also in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement, the Company issued an additional warrant to purchase 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a maximum strike price of $0.033 per share on February 7, 2014.


On April 10, 2014, as a result of the suspension in the trading of the Company’s securities, the Company went into default on its 7% Convertible Notes Payable for $1,000,000. As a result, the Company accrued interest on these notes at the default rate of 24% per annum. Furthermore, as a result of being in default on these notes, the Holders may, at their sole discretion, call these notes.


The description of the Waiver and Modification Agreement, Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement, Secured Credit Facility and Secured Convertible Note are qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreements, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, incorporated by reference into this 1.01.

Secured Convertible Note and Secured Credit Facility


The Company entered into a Secured Convertible Note and Secured Credit Facility dated June 25, 2014 with Logic Works whereby Logic Works agreed to provide up to $500,000 in funding. Each funding requires approval in advance by Logic Works, provides for interest at 6% with a default interest of 24% per annum and requires repayment by June 26, 2016. The Note is convertible into common stock of the Company at the lesser of $0.0070 or (B) twenty percent (20%) of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAPs occurring during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date on which Logic Works elects to convert all or part of this 6% Convertible Note, subject to adjustment as provided in the Note.

Exhibit 10.1


WAIVER AND MODIFICATION AGREEMENT


THIS WAIVER AND MODIFICATION AGREEMENT (“ Agreement ”) dated June 25, 2013 (“ Effective Date ”) is entered into by and between Logic Works LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ Lender and “ Holder ”) and GrowLife, Inc., Delaware corporation (“ Borrower ” and “ Company ”).  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning given to them in a 7% Convertible Note (“ Note ”) between Lender and Borrower, in the original principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), dated December 20, 2013.


R E C I T A L S


A.        The Note is currently in Default, pursuant to Section 2(a)(v), as a result of the suspension in the trading of the Borrower’s securities by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) on April 10, 2014 (“ Suspension Default ”).  


B.        By this Agreement, Borrower and Lender intend to modify and amend certain terms and provisions of the Note in consideration for Lender waiving the Default.


NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:


1.

MODIFICATION OF NOTE AND WAIVER .  The Note is hereby supplemented and modified to incorporate the following, which shall supersede and prevail over any conflicting provisions of the Note:


 

1.1

Conversion Price and Pre-Payment .  On the Effective Date, Section 3(a)(2) of the Note shall be modified in its entirety to read as follows:  “ Conversion Price ” shall equal the lesser of (A) $0.025 (B) twenty percent (20%) of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAPs occurring during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.  The Company may, upon ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to Holder, prepay all or any portion of the remaining outstanding Principal amount of this Note in cash only with the Holder’s consent, which such consent may be withheld in Holder’s sole and absolute discretion.


 

1.2

Interest Rate .  Section 1(b) is modified in its entirety to read as follows:


 

(b)

Interest . Interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue daily at the rate of the lesser of twenty four percent (24%)(the “ Interest Rate ”) per annum, or the maximum rate permitted under any applicable law.


 

1.3

Registration of Conversion Shares.   Section 3 is modified to add the following as 3(a)(v):


- 1 -



Notwithstanding anything else in this Note to the contrary, the Borrower shall prepare, and not later than Thirty (30) days from the Effective Date (the “ Filing Deadline ”), file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1, covering the Conversion Shares that are to be issued upon a Conversion of this Note (the “ Registrable Securities ”). Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any other person without the prior written consent of Lender.  If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Borrower will pay to Lender, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total VWAP of such Registrable Securities measured on a per share basis for each 30-day period (or pro rata for any portion thereof) following the Filing Deadline for which no Registration Statement is filled with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payment(s) shall constitute the Lender’s exclusive monetary remedy for such failure, but shall not affect the Lender’s right to seek injunctive relief.  Such payment(s) shall be made to the Lender in cash no later than three (3) Business Days after the end of each 30-day period. Lender shall have the right to approve the legal counsel selected by GrowLife to perform the registration work, and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company will pay all expenses associated with affecting the registration of the Registrable Securities, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s legal counsel, accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, and listing fees.


 

1.4

Mechanics of Conversion .  Section 3(b)(ii) is hereby modified in its entirety to read as follows:


(ii)        Company’s Failure to Timely Convert .  If within one (1) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile or email copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), the Principal amount under this Note shall increase by Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) per day until the Company issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount.  If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in this Section, resulting in a Conversion Failure, the Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded Conversion Amount returned to the Principal with the rescinded Conversion Shares returned to the Company.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if a Conversion Failure occurs, and if after such Conversion Failure the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (1) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the


- 2 -



Common Stock so purchased exceeds (2) the product of (a) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (b) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000.00 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000.00 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.00. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


 

1.5

Adjustments to Conversion Price; Subsequent Equity Sales;  Fundamental Transactions .  Section 4 is hereby modified to read as follows:


4.          Adjustments to Conversion Price; Subsequent Equity Sales;  Fundamental Transactions .  The Conversion Price and the number and kind of securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4.


(a)         Stock Dividends and Splits .  If at any time while this Note is outstanding the Company: (i) declares or pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for capital stock) that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) combines (including, without limitation, by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation), then in each such case the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event, and (B) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment made pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification.


- 3 -



(b)        Subsequent Equity Sales .  If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right or is obligated to reprice (whether or not due to additional loans by Lender to Borrower at any time), or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the lowest price per share for which any one (1) such share of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent has been issued. For purposes of this paragraph, the “lowest price per share for which any one such share of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent has been issued” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amount of consideration (but not less than $.0001) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any such share (the “Base Conversion Price”). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than five (5) Business Days following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 4(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 4(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.


(c)         Pro Rata Distributions .  Subject to Section 4(c) below, if at any time while this Note is outstanding the Company declares or pays any dividend or otherwise distributes any of its assets, including without limitation, cash, properties, evidences of indebtedness, securities (including any options or other convertible securities, but excluding a distribution of Common Stock covered by Section 4(a) above or Purchase Rights covered by Section 4(c) below), or options or rights to acquire any such assets (in each


- 4 -



case, “Distributed Property”) to all holders of Common Stock pro rata (and not to all Holders in their capacity as holders of Notes), whether by way of dividend, return of capital, spin-off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution shall be reduced (only), effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the denominator shall be the closing price of Common Stock on the Primary Market on such record date (the “Market Price”), and (ii) the numerator shall be such Market Price minus the value of the Distributed Property on such date applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the Company’s independent certified public accounting firm that regularly examines the financial statements of the Company.


(d)        Rights Offerings Below Market .  Notwithstanding Section 4(b) above, if at any time while this Note is outstanding the Company grants, issues or sells pro rata to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, any options, convertible securities or other rights (the “Purchase Rights”) entitling them to directly or indirectly subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share less than the Market Price on the record date of such grant, issuance or sale, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such record date shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (including and assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon both issuance and exercise of such Purchase Rights) would purchase at such Market Price, and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on such record date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving such adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Holder shall have the option, upon written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the notice of such adjustment, to elect to acquire, upon any conversion of this Note and in accordance with the terms applicable to the issuance of such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had converted such portion of this Note being converted (without regard to any limitations on ownership or conversion and regardless of whether this Note was then convertible) immediately prior to such record date.  To the extent that shares of Common Stock have not been delivered pursuant to such Purchase Rights specified in this Section upon the expiration or termination of such Purchase Rights, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would


- 5 -



then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such Purchase Rights been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.  In determining whether any Purchase Rights entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such Purchase Rights, the value of such consideration (if other than cash) to be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.


(e)        Fundamental Transactions .  If at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person; (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions; (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property; or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon any conversion of this Note, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same amount and kind of securities, cash and property as the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if the Holder had been the record holder of one Conversion Share immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on conversion or acquisition of Conversion Shares and whether or not this Note was then convertible) (the “Alternate Consideration”), and the Conversion Price shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction relative to the then Conversion Price.  The Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction.  In case of any such Fundamental Transaction, any successor to the Company, acquirer or surviving entity (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant, obligation, liability and condition under this Note to be performed and observed by the Company, subject to such modifications as may be reasonably deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of


- 6 -



the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of the number and kind of Conversion Shares for which this Note is convertible, which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section.  Such assumption shall be pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.  At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company, acquirer or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Note from such entity substantially similar in form and substance to this Note and consistent with the foregoing provisions, which new Note shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and include, without limitation, (A) the outstanding Principal and Interest owed to the Holder under this Note, (B) an interest rate equal to the Interest Rate, (C) similar ranking to this Note, and (D) the Holder’s right to convert the new Note into Alternate Consideration.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor, acquirer or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section and ensuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Fundamental Transaction (X) is an all cash transaction, (Y) constitutes or results in a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act (going private transaction), or (Z) otherwise results in the successor, surviving or acquiring entity not being traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, then upon the written request of the Holder, delivered before the sixtieth (60th) day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor, acquirer or surviving entity) shall redeem this Note from the Holder for a redemption price, payable in cash within five (5) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction), equal to the value of this Note as determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model via Bloomberg.  The provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations of this Note.


 

1.6

Governing Law and Venue .   Section 7 is modified in its entirety to read a follows:


All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

- 7 -



hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such Clark County Courts, or Clark County Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the   address in effect for notices to it under this Note, and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby.  If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.


 

1.7

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) dated and made effective as of July 1, 2014 (“ Effective Date ”) is made and entered into, by and between GrowLife, Inc. (“ GrowLife ”), a Delaware corporation, and CANX USA LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and its affiliates, designees and assignees (“ CANX ”).  GrowLife and CANX shall be severally referred to as a “ Party ” and collectively referred to herein as the “ Parties .”


WHEREAS , GrowLife is in the business of selling hydroponic equipment, supplies and services through GrowLife’s physical retail locations, as well as its online stores; and


WHEREAS , GrowLife and CANX entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“ JVA ”) on November 19, 2013; and


WHEREAS, on January 6, 2014, pursuant to the JVA, CANX formed a Nevada limited liability company named “ Organic Growth International, LLC ” (hereinafter referred to as “ OGI ” or “ JV ”); and the Parties may, in their absolute and sole discretion, and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, change the name of the JV at any time and from time to time; and


WHEREAS , GrowLife wishes to amend and clarify the nature and terms of the JVA with CANX, including without limitation any funding obligations and the consideration therefor; and


WHEREAS , GrowLife wishes to secure additional financial support to accomplish GrowLife business objectives; and


  WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend and restate the JVA in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.


NOW, THEREFORE , for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:


1.          Incorporation of Recitals .  The Recitals are incorporated herein as if set forth in full and made a part of this Agreement.


2.          Exhibits .   The following exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes:

EXHIBIT “A”

Initial Warrant Agreement

 

 

EXHIBIT “B”

Convertible Note

3.          No Partnership .   GrowLife and CANX are not partners by virtue of this Agreement, and neither Party is or shall be in control of the other Party.  Neither Party is or shall be responsible for the debts or liabilities of the other Party.  Likewise, neither Party shall have, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, any ownership interest or rights in the other, or any right of interest in assets of the other except as specifically provided herein.


4.          Purpose; Business Opportunities; Control of OGI; No Services; Equity Grants; Warrants; the CANX Parties; CANX Warrant Assignees; Limitations On Exercise Of Warrants.  


 

a.

Purpose . The purpose of OGI is to implement business opportunities related to hydroponic goods, services and sales (including the sale and distribution of GrowLife proprietary products and technology), and other business verticals that may be developed at any time or from time to time, subject to OGI’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

 

 

 

b.

Business Opportunities. OGI may develop business opportunities directly or indirectly through subsidiary companies, joint ventures, partnerships, or other legal commercial structures, with its members, and/or with, through or in conjunction with related or unrelated third parties. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time, OGI may implement business opportunities that directly or indirectly compete with GrowLife.

 

 

 

 

c.

Control of OGI. OGI shall be governed and controlled by its management committee or Board of Managers (“ OGI Board ”) and/or, as the case may be, OGI Board elected officers and managers. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason or no reason.

 

 

 

 

d.

No Services.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither GrowLife nor CANX is required or obligated to provide (or to incur a liability, cost or payment obligation for) services to the other Party. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that neither has provided services to or received services from the other, at any time.  No compensation of any kind or nature has been paid to, has accrued to the account of, or is owed to GrowLife or CANX by the other Party as a result of the existence of the JVA or this Agreement.  In the event that one of the Parties in the future desires to contract services from the other (e.g., M&A, business development, management, marketing, sales, operational, or other consulting and/or advisory services), it shall be pursuant to a separate written agreement jointly accepted and executed by the Parties.


- 2 -



 

e.

Equity Grants . To incentivize CANX to make (or facilitate) loans and investments in GrowLife and the JV, GrowLife agreed and reaffirms such agreement, to grant, issue and deliver to CANX and/or the CANX Parties or any of them (collectively “ CANX Parties, Lenders and Investors ” or “ CANX Warrant Assignees and Designess ”) “equity kickers” in the form of warrants to purchase Registrable Securities (defined below) in GrowLife (“ Equity Grants ”).  GrowLife elected to, and has hereunder agreed to make such Equity Grants due to the level of risk and uncertainty associated with early stage businesses, in general, in need of working capital, and other material considerations, including, without limitation, the limited availability of GrowLife’s liquid assets to pledge as collateral or sufficient cash flow for loan repayment, and the unavailability of other commercial financing from banking institutions, due in part to current FDIC and other federal and state regulatory limits and restrictions on lending to (and investments in) companies in legal cannabis related businesses in the United States.  In addition, GrowLife represents and CANX acknowledges that there are (from insiders and unaffiliated third parties) encumbrances (liens and/or loans outstanding) on some or all of GrowLife assets. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that GrowLife will grant, issue and deliver Equity Grants as directed by CANX in writing, directly to named CANX Lenders and Investors. Accordingly, GrowLife shall not claim a tax deduction with respect to the Equity Grants (Warrants and resulting Warrant Shares (if so exercised), as defined in Section 4(f) below) under IRC §83(h), IRC §162, or otherwise.

 

 

 

 

f.

Warrants and Underlying Shares; Exercise of Warrants.  The “ Initial Warrants ” and the “ Restatement Warrants ”, and the “ Transaction Financing Warrants ” each as defined in Section 5, Section 6 and Section 7 below, and any other warrants granted hereunder to purchase GrowLife Registrable Securities (unless otherwise determined by CANX Lenders and Investors to be unregistered common stock) are collectively referred to as the “ Warrants ” or the “ CANX Warrants ”. Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are also referred to as the “ Underlying Shares ” or “ Warrant Shares ,” and the Warrants or CANX Warrants and the Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares are also referred to herein collectively as the “ Securities .”

 

 

 

 

g.

CANX Parties . For the purposes of this Agreement, the “CANX Parties” shall mean each, any and all of CANX’s past, present and future members, shareholders, officers, directors, managers, affiliates, related parties, professionals, employees, agents, representatives, successors, designees and assigns (and their related and/or affiliated party’s), and, unaffiliated third party lenders and investors.

 

 

 

 

h.

CANX Warrant Designees and Assignees . In addition to the meaning set forth in Section 4(e), the “CANX Warrant Assignees and Designees” shall mean CANX and/or CANX permitted designees and assignees to receive Warrants and Underlying Shares. GrowLife agrees to grant, issue, and deliver any and all current and future Warrants and Underlying Shares that are due, or become due


- 3 -



 

 

hereunder, only as expressly directed by CANX to GrowLife in writing. In connection with and when referencing each, any and all Securities under this Agreement, the CANX Warrant Assignees and Designees or any of them shall be contained in the meaning of “CANX”.

 

 

 

 

i.

Limitations on Exercise of Warrants .  The holder of any Warrants issued under this Agreement shall not have the right to exercise any portion of such Warrants or receive shares of GrowLife common stock hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Warrant holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of four and 99/100 percent (4.99%) of the number of shares of GrowLife common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Warrant exercise.  Since the Warrant holder will not be obligated to report to GrowLife the number of shares of common stock it may hold at the time of the exercise of such Warrant, unless the Warrant exercise would result in the issuance of shares of common stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of GrowLife without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the holder or an affiliate thereof, the Warrant holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 4(i) will limit any particular exercise of any Warrant hereunder, and to the extent that the holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section 4(i) applies, the determination of what portion of the Warrant is to be exercised shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Warrant holder.  If the Warrant holder has delivered a Warrant exercise notice that, without regard to any other shares that the Warrant holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, GrowLife shall notify the Warrant holder of this fact and GrowLife shall be obligated to honor the Warrant exercise only for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock permitted to be acquired on such exercise date in accordance with this Section 4(i). A written certification as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Warrant holder delivered to GrowLife with any Warrant exercise notice or request may be relied upon by GrowLife for the purpose of determining the maximum number of shares of common stock that the Warrant holder is entitled to acquire in accordance with this Section 4(i).  Other than as otherwise provided, the provisions of this Section 4(i) may not be waived by any Warrant holder.


5.          CANX Initial Obligations; GrowLife Right to Appoint Person to OGI Board; Expiration of OGI First Transaction Commitment; First Four Transactions; Business Review; New Conditional Commitments; GrowLife Initial Funding and Warrant Obligations; Restatement Warrants .  


 

a.

CANX Initial Obligations; and New Conditional Commitment .  GrowLife hereby acknowledges, ratifies and reaffirms that CANX and OGI have fully and faithfully performed, delivered and satisfied their respective obligations under the JVA, including without limitation, as described below in (for CANX) 5(a)(i)(1), 5(a)(i)(2), and 5(a)(ii), and (for OGI) 5(a)(iii), which constitute all obligations that were incumbent upon them under the JVA:


- 4 -



 

i.

Delivery of OGI Equity and One Million Dollars in Loan Proceeds (collectively the “Initial Funding”):


1. Pursuant to the JVA, GrowLife received forty-five percent (45%) of the voting membership units of OGI (“ GrowLife Units ”).


2. Pursuant to the JVA, GrowLife received One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in loan proceeds pursuant to one or more promissory notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B .

 

 

 

 

ii.

GrowLife Right to Appoint One Person to the OGI Board .  GrowLife replaces its appointment of Sterling Scott (“Scott”) to the OGI Board (“ GrowLife Designated OGI Board Member ”) with Marco Hegyi (“ Hegyi ”) to serve as the GrowLife Designated OGI Board Member.

 

 

 

 

iii.

Expiration of the OGI First Transaction Commitment; First Four Transactions.  GrowLife acknowledges that under JVA, the Parties set forth the First Transaction Commitment, which OGI delivered to the JV and GrowLife respectively. The First Transaction Commitment was established to support the Greenest Green, 7/10 Labs (“ GG ”) transaction, promoted by GrowLife as the first transaction for the JV. GrowLife elected in their sole discretion, and informed CANX of such election, to cancel the GG transaction. Accordingly, GrowLife hereby acknowledges and reaffirms that the First Transaction Commitment has been fully satisfied by OGI (and CANX to the extent it required their participation), has expired and is of no further force and effect. Since November 19, 2013, GrowLife promoted to OGI and OGI entered into four (4) separate purchase agreements (collectively, the “ First Four Transactions ”). The Parties acknowledge that the purchase price to be paid under each of the First Four Transactions is deemed to be “ Transaction Financing ”. GrowLife hereby acknowledges and reaffirms that CANX will be entitled to payment for Transaction Financing, equal to Ten Percent (10%) of the purchase price of each, any or all of the individual First Four Transactions, upon final GrowLife corporate approvals, completion, and closing of any or all of the First Four Transactions. In the event that the purchase price is paid with GrowLife common stock, CANX will pay its proportionate share of the purchase price, by cash, promissory note or Securities, or a combination of any, as determined by CANX in its sole and absolute discretion, to GrowLife.

 

 

 

 

iv.

Business Review; OGI Business Development; GrowLife Business Opportunities; Issuance of New Conditional Financing by OGI of up to Twelve Million Dollar ($12,000,000) .  The Parties recognize that the legal cannabis industry is a developing one, is challenged by regulatory and operating complexities, including restrictive federal banking laws.


- 5 -



 

 

Accordingly, each business opportunity will be subject to strict criteria and review by the Parties. On behalf of the JV, GrowLife hereby agrees that it shall be their responsibility to conduct a special review of each prospective business opportunity developed under the JV. Such review will focus on legal compliance, tax compliance and regulatory compliance. GrowLife will use commercially reasonable efforts to expedite the review so as not to impede the business opportunity. GrowLife acknowledges that OGI intends to engage in merger and acquisition (“ M&A ”) transactions and other investments, using Transaction Financing (as defined in Section 6 below) (“ OGI Business Development ”). Any and all such OGI Business Development must first meet certain pre-qualifications, established by OGI at any time and from time to time, before OGI will consider (and such consideration by OGI is in OGI’s sole and absolute discretion) initiating or conducting due-diligence and/or transaction commitments and/or the negotiation and drafting of definitive agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a limited example, OGI requires that each such transaction be of a business or product that has been actively in the market, in good standing, and generating at least $300,000 in EBITDA consecutively for at least the last 3 years. In addition, each such business or product must be lawful, commercially financeable, feasible, scalable and sustainable, and relevant to OGI’s business (this sentence and the preceding sentences are collectively referred to as “ Funding Qualifications ”). In addition to OGI Business Development, OGI contemplates using Transaction Financing to support GrowLife’s business development objectives that GrowLife desires to conduct exclusively under the JV, to be owned by the JV (for the benefit of OGI and its members) (“ GrowLife Business Opportunities ”), provided; however, that such support by OGI is expressly conditioned on the following terms, which GrowLife hereby confirms that it understands and agrees to comply with: (1) each GrowLife Business Opportunity will meet any and all Funding Qualifications (which may be further refined or expanded by OGI on a deal by deal basis, at any time or from time to time), and (2) each GrowLife Business Opportunity is subject to OGI’s approval, which approval may be granted or denied in OGI’s sole and absolute discretion. GrowLife acknowledges that the first conditional commitment for any GrowLife Business Opportunity is for a single transaction of up to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (“ Conditional Commitment ”). With each and every request to use the Conditional Commitment, GrowLife agrees to submit to OGI a comprehensive transaction memorandum initially consisting of a full description of the business opportunity, proposed deal terms and conditions, and evidence that such opportunity complies with the then Funding Qualifications (“ GrowLife Proposed Deal Memorandum ”). OGI agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to GrowLife’s submission within ten (10) business days from the date OGI receives such submission. For the avoidance of doubt, a response from OGI to a GrowLife submission shall be deemed a reasonable response if such response includes one of the following: (1) approved, (2) denied, or (3) a reasonable request for more information.  Each response to a GrowLife


- 6 -



 

 

Proposed Deal Memorandum is final and binding and without recourse to CANX, the CANX Parties, OGI, or any other participating parties. The Conditional Commitment will expire on the six (6) month anniversary date of this Agreement if not used; provided; however, that GrowLife may: (1) extend the term for an additional six (6) months, by delivering written notice to OGI at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date, or (2) if the Conditional Commitment has been used, GrowLife may request additional, consecutive conditional commitments of $1,000,000 each (each an “ Additional Conditional Commitment ”) for up to an aggregate of Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000), inclusive of the Conditional Commitment.  OGI shall have the right to approve or reject GrowLife’s request for an extension and/or any Additional Conditional Commitment in its sole and absolute discretion.  Each and every GrowLife Business Opportunity funded under the Conditional Commitment or any Additional Conditional Commitment shall be owned by OGI, shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, be included and counted as part of the Transaction Financing as set forth under Section 6 hereof, and be subject to all requirements, approvals and other provisions of the Transaction Financing. The Conditional Commitment and any Additional Conditional Commitments are subject to GrowLife’s full and satisfactory performance hereunder, including without limitation, GrowLife’s obligation to deliver to CANX the Initial Warrants, the Restatement Warrants (defined below) and the Financing Warrants. Upon an Event of Default, as set forth in Section 6(b), the Conditional Commitment and any Additional Conditional Commitments shall terminate.


 

b.

Outstanding GrowLife Initial Funding Obligation; Initial Warrants . GrowLife acknowledges, ratifies and reaffirms it has received the Initial Funding, and CANX fully satisfied its obligation to deliver GrowLife the Initial Funding set forth under 5(a)(i)(1) and 5(a)(i)(2). In exchange for the receipt of the Initial Funding, GrowLife agreed to deliver to CANX an Equity Grant in the form of warrants to purchase a total of Two Hundred and Forty Million (240,000,000) shares of common stock of GrowLife (the “ Initial Warrants ”). The Initial Warrants and the obligations by GrowLife to deliver them to CANX Investors and Lenders are irrevocable and not subject to any further performance, and remain, as of the Effective Date, a material outstanding obligation of GrowLife to CANX. Accordingly, GrowLife shall, upon the Effective Date, immediately ratify and deliver the Initial Warrants to CANX. Each and all of the Initial Warrants: (1) shall have an exercise price of $0.033 per share, exercisable at the option of CANX and/or the CANX Warrant; (2) shall be delivered to CANX with cashless exercise rights (exercisable on a cashless basis); (3) shall have a term of sixty (60) months from the date of issuance, subject to extension, in the sole and absolute discretion of CANX, for an additional 60-month period if the Warrants have not been exercised as of the end of the initial 60-month term; and (4) shall have demand registration rights in accordance with Section 7 and the Registration Rights Agreement, attached as Exhibit C hereto. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason or no reason.


- 7 -



 

c.

Restated Agreement; Restatement Warrants.


 

i.

In consideration for CANX entering into this Agreement, GrowLife shall grant and issue to CANX, additional Equity Grants, in the form of warrants to purchase a total of Three Hundred Million (300,000,000) Registrable Securities of GrowLife (the “ Restatement Warrants ”).

 

 

 

 

ii.

Each and all of the Restatement Warrants: (1) shall have an exercise price not less than the current fair market value of GrowLife’s Common Stock, as determined by an independent, third party expert selected, engaged and paid for by GrowLife, to ascertain the fair market value for GrowLife Common Stock on the Effective Date of this Agreement, (2) shall be delivered to CANX with cashless exercise rights (exercisable on a cashless basis); (3) shall have a term of sixty (60) months from the date of issuance, subject to extension, in the sole and absolute discretion of CANX, for an additional 60-month period if the Warrants have not been exercised as of the end of the initial 60-month term; (4) shall be exercisable by CANX into Registrable Securities as set forth in Section 7, and (5) shall have demand registration rights in accordance with Section 7 and the Registration Rights Agreement, attached as Exhibit C hereto. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reason or no reason.


6.          Transaction Financing; Transaction Financing Warrants .


 

a.

Transaction Financing . The term “ Transaction Financing ” shall mean any denomination of value, dollar ($) value, value in kind (non-cash), tangible or intangible, and/or in kind consideration for value, that includes, without limitation, equity and/or debt, and/or other at risk value, and/or the contribution and/or conveyance of value, in any form, of any kind or nature, whereby the establishment of value (if the financing includes some or no cash) will be determined by CANX, in its sole, and absolute discretion.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Transaction Financing may be derived from, include or be any one or a combination of the following: payments, purchases, pledges, contracts, rights, use, permits, assets, property, cash, securities/stock (including GrowLife securities/stock), loans, promissory notes, letters of credit, financing, leases, rentals, sales, deposits (bank (cash) deposits or a deposit used to secure a matter or thing), businesses, operations, partnerships, joint ventures, or other matter or thing of value. In addition to the aforementioned, Transaction Financing includes New/Additional Conditional Financing Commitments, Loan or Loans (as described in Section 9(d)) and any source of financing/funding specified under this Agreement, notwithstanding how it may be described. Transaction Financing may be procured from any lawful source, in any denomination or kind, matter or thing, subject to OGI approval, which such approval or rejection shall be in OGI’s sole and absolute discretion. The Parties agree there is no limit to the amount of Transaction Financing that may be applied hereunder (the Parties agree to eliminate the Forty Million Dollar ($40,000,000) Transaction Financing maximum limit set forth in the JVA).


- 8 -



 

 

Separate from and completely unrelated to the Initial Funding and the obligation of GrowLife to deliver to CANX the Initial Warrants and Restatement Warrants, CANX shall have the right and option (but in no event and not under any circumstances shall CANX be obligated) to procure, facilitate and/or fund Transaction Financing for OGI, as the case may be, from time to time or any time. CANX may apply Transaction Financing to any business opportunities developed or procured by it for OGI, by OGI, and/or by GrowLife for OGI, including OGI Business Development and GrowLife Business Opportunities. CANX may source Transaction Financing, directly or indirectly, from or in conjunction with its members, future members, GrowLife, or related or unrelated third parties, or any combination of the foregoing. CANX may, directly or indirectly, or in conjunction with or through related or unrelated third parties, use any form of legal entity to facilitate, transact, manage or operate any Transaction Financing. Any and all business opportunities and Transaction Financing in which CANX is involved, shall be approved or rejected in the sole and absolute discretion of CANX; provided, however, if so approved by CANX, each business opportunity and related Transaction Financing shall be subject to the approval or rejection of OGI, in its sole and absolute discretion. CANX shall have the right, upon 24 hour written notice to OGI and GrowLife, to withdraw from any proposed or pending transaction or application for Transaction Financing or any other future transaction, for any reason or no reason, at any time, without penalty or liability to CANX or OGI.

WITNESSETH:


WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Lender desire to enter into a revolving credit facility (“ Credit Facility ”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, advances and payments pursuant to which are to be evidenced by promissory notes (individually, a “ Note ” and, collectively, the “ Notes ”, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A ); and


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:


1.          Credit Facility .  


1.1        Terms of Credit Facility .  The Lender hereby agrees to lend to the Borrower up to a maximum principal amount (the “ Maximum Amount ”) of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), on the following terms and conditions:


1.1.1    Each advance under this Credit Facility (an “ Advance ” and “ Draw ”) shall be made and reflected on Note(s).  Each Advance requested by Borrower under this Credit Facility shall contain a written detailed description of the proposed use of proceeds for each such Advance.  Each Advance shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender (up to the Maximum Amount), and Lender shall have no obligation to make any additional, future Advances.  Lender may fund Advances directly to Borrower, or indirectly to Borrower (upon direction of Borrower and agreement of Lender, by direct payment by Lender to third parties and/or affiliates of Borrower for the benefit of Borrower, and each such indirect advance/beneficial payment shall be an Advance hereunder, and added to the principal balance outstanding hereunder and provided herein.  


1.1.2    The outstanding balance of the Loan/Advances shall accrue simple interest at six percent (6%).  Interest only payments shall be calculated and paid monthly on the first day of each month in the period, computed on the then weighted average outstanding principal balance of the Loan (“ Monthly Interest Payment(s) ”).  All outstanding, unpaid principal and interest shall be due in no event later than twenty-four (24) months from the date of this Agreement (“ Maturity Date” ), unless sooner accelerated pursuant hereunder or the Note.


- 1 -



1.1.3    The Loan/Note(s) shall be convertible into Registrable Securities of GrowLife pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Note(s).


1.1.4    The Subsidiaries will benefit substantially from the Loan, and all the obligations hereunder shall be joint and several obligations of Growlife and the Subsidiaries.


1.1.5    The Loan and the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined) shall be secured by (i) a Securities Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement” ), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B , pursuant to which Growlife will pledge all of its right, title and interest in and to all its subsidiaries to Lender; (ii) a pledge of the all of the assets of the Borrower pursuant to a UCC Financing Statement which statement shall be filed with applicable governmental offices, including  in the States  of  California, Nevada, Colorado, and Delaware, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “ UCC Financing Statement ”); and (iii) such other assignments, pledges and other instruments as may be executed and delivered in connection with the Loan (collectively, together with this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement, and the UCC Financing Statement, the “ Loan Documents ”).  


1.1.6    So long as all or any part of the Note remains unpaid or Borrower has any commitment under the Loan Documents, neither Borrower nor any of its affiliates will without Lender’s prior written consent, which such consent may be withheld for any reason, create, incur, assume, or suffer to exist, any lien, security interest, direct or collateral assignment, or other encumbrance upon or with respect to any real or personal property or other assets owned by the Borrower, nor consent to the further pledge or hypothecation of the Pledged Interest (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) or the Subsidiaries’ assets subject to the UCC Financing Statement, other than pursuant to the Loan Documents.  Borrower shall at all times indemnify, defend (and pay any and all costs and expenses in real time for such indemnification and defense), and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all third party claims, liens or encumbrances asserted against any collateral subject to the Loan Documents or any UCC Financing Statement to ensure that Lender shall, at all times, have a first priority lien and encumbrance on all such collateral.

1.2.1     No Default .  No Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

- 3 -



1.5.2.    Loan Documents.  Upon the occurrence of a Default hereunder Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to immediately enforce all of its rights under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosure of its security interest contained therein, and taking possession of the collateral described therein.


1.5.3     Obligations of Borrowers Joint and Several; Remedies Cumulative .  It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the various borrowers that collectively constitute the “ Borrower ” hereunder, shall be joint and several.  A default hereunder shall constitute a default under the Note. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Lender may immediately proceed to exercise all remedies available to it hereunder or under the Note(s) or otherwise under applicable law.  No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Lender hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or right, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.  No single or partial exercise of any power or right shall preclude any further or other exercise of any power or right.


1.5.4     Preservation of Rights .  No delay or omission of the Lender(s) in their exercise of any power or right hereunder shall impair such power or right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any power or right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.  No Advance hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of the Lender’s obligation to make further advances, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall a waiver of such condition in any one instance have the effect of precluding the Lender(s) from thereafter declaring such inability to be a Default hereunder.  No course of dealing shall be binding upon the Lender(s).


2.          Representations and Warranties of the Borrower .  The Borrower represents, warrants and covenants to the Lender, as of the date hereof and as of the date of any Advance as follows:


2.1        Corporate Organization .  The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as and in the places where such properties are now owned, operated and leased or such business is now being conducted.  


2.2        Authorization .  The Borrower has the necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to assume and perform its obligations hereunder.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Borrower, or Managers, as the case may be.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and moratorium laws and other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.


- 4 -



2.3        Approvals and Consents .  No action, approval, consent or authorization, including, but not limited to, any action, approval, consent or authorization by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency, commission, board, bureau, or instrumentality is necessary or required as to the Borrower in order to constitute this Agreement as the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

2.5        No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery, and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents and the use of the Loan proceeds for such business purposes of Borrower approved by Lender do not and will not:


(a)       result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease, or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which they or their properties may be bound or affected; or


(b)       result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any lien, upon or with respect to any of the properties now owned by Borrower; or


(c)       cause Borrower to be in default under any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, or award or any such indenture, agreement, lease, or instrument.


2.6        Litigation.  Except as listed on Schedule 2.6, there is no pending or threatened action or proceeding against or affecting Borrower before any court, governmental agency, or arbitrator which may, in any one case or in the aggregate, materially, adversely affect the financial condition, operations, properties, or business of Borrower or the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party.


2.7        Collateral .  All collateral required in this Agreement is owned by the grantor of the security interest therein free of any title defects, liens or interests of others and Lender shall at all times have a first priority lien on and security interest in such collateral.

4.          General Provisions .


4.1        Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waiver .  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements, if any, between the parties hereto with respect to such subject matter and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder.  Any amendments hereto or modifications hereof must be made in writing and executed by each of the parties hereto.  Any failure by the Borrower or the Lender to enforce any rights hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver of such rights.

4.6        Severability .  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by virtue of any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the maximum extent possible.

accrued but unpaid Interest, and any other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash, and Holder shall be entitled to exercise any and all other rights pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the UCC-1.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the interest rate on this Note shall accrue at the applicable Default Rate.  Upon the payment or other satisfaction in full of this Note, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Note to or as directed by the Company.  In connection with any acceleration of this Note as described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law.  Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder, and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of this Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 2(c).  No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.


3.         Conversion of Note .  This Note shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.


(a)        Conversion Right .  Subject to the conversion cap blocker limitation contained in Section 3(c), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date (subject to a Draw being made), the Holder shall be entitled to convert all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into Registrable Securities that are (as defined in Section (5)) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company in accordance with Section 3(b), at the Conversion Price (as defined below), subject to the Conversion Minimum (as defined below).  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall be equal to the quotient of dividing the Conversion Amount by the Conversion Price (“ Conversion Shares ”).  The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.  The Company shall pay any and all transfer agent fees, legal fees, costs and any other fees or costs that may be incurred or charged in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder arising out of or relating to the conversion of this Note.


(i)        “ Conversion Amount ” means the portion of the Principal and Interest to be converted.


(ii)       “ Conversion Price ” shall equal the lesser of: (A) $0.0070 or (B) twenty percent (20%) of the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAPs occurring during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.


(iii)      “ Conversion Minimum ” shall, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Company, constitute any individual conversion of an amount not less than One Thousand Dollars (USD $1,000) of the unpaid Principal.

Page 4



(iv)       “ VWAP ” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Primary Market; (b) if the Common Stock is not then quoted for trading on the Primary Market and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported; or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock of the Company as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company.


(b)        Mechanics of Conversion .


(i)         Optional Conversion .  To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “ Conversion Date ”), the Holder shall transmit by email, facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, NY Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Conversion Notice ”) to the Company.  On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall: (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“ Rule 144 ”) and provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC; or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to Rule 144.  If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the remaining outstanding Principal not converted.  The individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, trust, association, organization or other entity (each a “ Person ”) entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.  For the purposes hereof, the term “ Business Day ” means any day except any Saturday, any Sunday, any day which shall be a federal legal holiday in the United States, or any day on which banking institutions in the State of Nevada are authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.


(ii)        Company’s Failure to Timely Convert .  If within one (1) Business Day after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile or email copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “ Conversion Failure ”), the Principal amount under this Note shall increase by Three Thousand Dollars


Exhibit A

(GrowLife Secured Credit Facility)

Page 5



($3,000) per day until the Company issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount.  If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in this Section, resulting in a Conversion Failure, the Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded Conversion Amount returned to the Principal with the rescinded Conversion Shares returned to the Company.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if a Conversion Failure occurs, and if after such Conversion Failure the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such date (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (1) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (2) the product of (a) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (b) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000.00 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000.00 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.00. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


(iii)        DTC Eligibility .  If the Company loses its status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, the Conversion Price shall thereafter be redefined to mean the lesser of (A) $0.002 and (B) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest trade occurring during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.


(iv)        Book-Entry . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless: (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted, or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note.  The Holder and the


Exhibit A

Form of Note

(GrowLife Secured Credit Facility)

Page 6



Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions, or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.


(c)        Limitations on Conversions .  The Company shall not effect any conversions of this Note and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, receipt of such Interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of Interest.  Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.  If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a) and, any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note.  The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than sixty-five (65) days’ prior notice to the Company.  Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.  A written certification of number of shares beneficially owned by Holder delivered to the Company with any Conversion request shall be conclusive evidence of Holder’s ownership at the time of such request, and the Company shall rely upon same for the determination of the limitations contained herein, and upon such receipt, the Company shall immediately process the requested Conversion pursuant to the provisions contained herein.


(d)        Other Provisions .


(i)         Share Reservation .  In addition to the other requirements of Section 5 below, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding Principal and Interest amounts under this Note; and within five (5) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder’s notice that such minimum number of underlying shares of Common Stock is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such requirement.  The Company will at all times


Exhibit A

Form of Note

(GrowLife Secured Credit Facility)

Page 7



reserve at least the minimum number of shares of Common Stock which are, at any given time, necessary for conversion of the full amount due on this Note.


(ii)        Prepayment .  The Company may, upon ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to Holder, prepay all or any portion of the remaining outstanding Principal amount of this Note in cash only with the Holder’s consent, which such consent may be withheld in Holder’s sole and absolute discretion.


(iii)       All calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.


(iv)       Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein, and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.


4.          Adjustments to Conversion Price; Subsequent Equity Sales; Fundamental Transactions .  The Conversion Price and the number and kind of securities issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4.


(a)        Stock Dividends and Splits .  If at any time while this Note is outstanding, whether or not depleted of Advances, the Company: (i) declares or pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for capital stock) that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) combines (including, without limitation, by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iii) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation), then in each such case the Conversion Price then in effect shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event, and (B) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment made pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification.  


(b)        Subsequent Equity Sales .  If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right or is obligated to reprice (even as a result of loans from Lender at any time), or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such issuances, collectively, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock


Exhibit A

(GrowLife Secured Credit Facility)

Page 8



Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the lowest price per share for which any one (1) such share of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent has been issued. For purposes of this paragraph, the “lowest price per share for which any one such share of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent has been issued” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amount of consideration (but not less than $.0001) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any such share (the “ Base Conversion Price ”). Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than five (5) Business Days following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 4(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 4(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.


(c)        Pro Rata Distributions .  Subject to Section 4(c) below, if at any time while this Note is outstanding the Company declares or pays any dividend or otherwise distributes any of its assets, including without limitation, cash, properties, evidences of indebtedness, securities (including any options or other convertible securities, but excluding a distribution of Common Stock covered by Section 4(a) above or Purchase Rights covered by Section 4(c) below), or options or rights to acquire any such assets (in each case, Distributed Property ”) to all holders of Common Stock pro rata (and not to all Holders in their capacity as holders of Notes), whether by way of dividend, return of capital, spin-off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the denominator shall be the closing price of Common Stock on the Primary Market on such record date (the “ Market Price ”), and (ii) the numerator shall be such Market Price minus the value of the Distributed Property on such date applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the Company’s independent certified public accounting firm that regularly examines the financial statements of the Company.


(d)        Rights Offerings Below Market .  Notwithstanding Section 4(b) above, if at any time while this Note is outstanding the Company grants, issues or sells pro rata to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, any options, convertible securities or other rights (the “ Purchase Rights ”) entitling them to directly or indirectly subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share less than the Market Price on the record date of such grant, issuance or sale, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately


Exhibit A

Form of Note

(GrowLife Secured Credit Facility)

Page 9



prior to the close of business on such record date shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (including and assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration payable upon both issuance and exercise of such Purchase Rights) would purchase at such Market Price, and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on such record date plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase; provided, however, that in lieu of receiving such adjustment to the Conversion Price, the Holder shall have the option, upon written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days following its receipt of the notice of such adjustment, to elect to acquire, upon any conversion of this Note and in accordance with the terms applicable to the issuance of such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had converted such portion of this Note being converted (without regard to any limitations on ownership or conversion and regardless of whether this Note was then convertible) immediately prior to such record date.  To the extent that shares of Common Stock have not been delivered pursuant to such Purchase Rights specified in this Section upon the expiration or termination of such Purchase Rights, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such Purchase Rights been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.  In determining whether any Purchase Rights entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such Purchase Rights, the value of such consideration (if other than cash) to be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.


(e)        Fundamental Transactions .  If at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person; (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions; (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property; or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (each, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon any conversion of this Note, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same amount and kind of securities, cash and property as the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if the Holder had been the record holder of one Conversion Share immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on conversion or acquisition of Conversion Shares and whether or not this Note was then convertible) (the “ Alternate Consideration ”), and the Conversion Price shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of


Exhibit A

Form of Note

(GrowLife Secured Credit Facility)

Page 10



Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction relative to the then Conversion Price.  The Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction.  In case of any such Fundamental Transaction, any successor to the Company, acquirer or surviving entity (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant, obligation, liability and condition under this Note to be performed and observed by the Company, subject to such modifications as may be reasonably deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of the number and kind of Conversion Shares for which this Note is convertible, which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section.  Such assumption shall be pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.  At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company, acquirer or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Note from such entity substantially similar in form and substance to this Note and consistent with the foregoing provisions, which new Note shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and include, without limitation, (A) the outstanding Principal and Interest owed to the Holder under this Note, (B) an interest rate equal to the Interest Rate, (C) similar ranking to this Note, and (D) the Holder’s right to convert the new Note into Alternate Consideration.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor, acquirer or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section and ensuring that this Note (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Fundamental Transaction (X) is an all cash transaction, (Y) constitutes or results in a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act (going private transaction), or (Z) otherwise results in the successor, surviving or acquiring entity not being traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, then upon the written request of the Holder, delivered before the sixtieth (60 th ) day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor, acquirer or surviving entity) shall redeem this Note from the Holder for a redemption price, payable in cash within five (5) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction), equal to the value of this Note as determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model via Bloomberg.  The provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations of this Note.


5.          Registration.


(a)         Registration Statement .  Promptly following the issuance of this Note, but no later than thirty (30) days after the Issuance Date (the “ Filing Deadline ”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1, covering the resale of all of the Conversion Shares (the “ Registrable Securities ”). Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any other Person without the prior written consent of the Holder of this Note.  If a Registration Statement covering the


Exhibit A

Form of Note

(GrowLife Secured Credit Facility)

Page 11



Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will pay to the Holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the unpaid Principal amount of this Note for each 30-day period (or pro rata for any portion thereof) following the Filing Deadline for which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities.  Such payment(s) shall constitute the Holder’s exclusive monetary remedy for such failure, but shall not affect the Holder’s right to seek injunctive relief.  Such payment(s) shall be made to the Holder in cash, or at the option of the Holder, be added to the unpaid Principal amount of the Note, no later than three (3) Business Days after the end of each 30-day period.


Expenses .  The Company will pay all expenses associated with effecting the registration of the Registrable Securities, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s legal counsel, accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, and listing fees.


(c)        Effectiveness .


(a)       The Company shall use commercially best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable.  The Company shall notify the Holder by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Holder with a copy of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby.  If: (1) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of (A) five (5) Business Days after the SEC shall have informed the Company that no review of such Registration Statement will be made or that the SEC has no further comments on the Registration Statement, or (B) the 90 th day after the Issuance Date (if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement); or (2) a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after the SEC shall have informed the Company that no review of the Registration Statement will be made or that the SEC has no further comments on the Registration Statement, or (ii) the 90 th day after the Issuance Date (if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement), then the Company will pay to the Holder, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the unpaid Principal amount of this Note for each 30-day period (or pro rata for any portion thereof) following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective (the “ Blackout Period ”).  Such payment(s) shall constitute the Holder’s exclusive monetary remedy for such failure, but shall not affect the Holder’s right to seek injunctive relief.  The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid monthly within three (3) Business Days of the last day of each month following the commencement of the Blackout Period until the termination of the Blackout Period.  Such payment(s) shall be made to the Holder in cash, or at the option of the Holder, be added to the unpaid Principal amount of this Note, no later than three (3) Business Days after the end of each 30-day period.


(b)       For not more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total of not more than forty-five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section 5 in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to: (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of

which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company; or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “ Allowed Delay ”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify the Holder in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of the Holder) disclose to such Holder any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay; (b) advise the Holder in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay; and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.


(d)       R ule 415; Cutback.  If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, or requires the Holder to be named as an “underwriter”, the Company shall use its best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that the Holder is not an “underwriter”.  The Holder shall have the right to participate or to have its legal counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment or have its counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto.  No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which the Holder’s counsel reasonably objects.  In the event that, despite the Company’s best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 5(d), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “ Cut Back Shares ”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “ SEC Restrictions ”); provided, however , that the Company shall not agree to name the Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder.  No liquidated damages shall accrue as to any Cut Back Shares until such date as the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date, the “ Restriction Termination Date ” of such Cut Back Shares).  From and after the Restriction Termination Date applicable to any Cut Back Shares, all of the provisions of this Section 5 (including the liquidated damages provision) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, however , that (i) the date by which the Company is required to file the Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be thirty (30) calendar days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which the Company is required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares under Section 5(c) shall be the [180 th ] day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date.


(e)        Right to Piggyback Registration .


(i)        If at any time following the Issuance Date: (A) there is not one or more effective Registration Statements covering all of the Registrable Securities, and (B) the Company proposes for any reason to register any shares of Common Stock under the 1933 Act (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or a similar or successor form))


Exhibit A

Form of Note

(GrowLife Secured Credit Facility)

Page 13



with respect to an offering of Common Stock by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its stockholders, it shall at each such time promptly give written notice to the holder of the Registrable Securities hereunder of the Company’s intention to do so (but in no event less than thirty (30) days before the anticipated filing date) and, to the extent permitted under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Company’s notice (a “ Piggyback Registration ”).  Such notice shall offer the holder of the Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holder may request and shall indicate the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities.


(ii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if such registration involves an underwritten public offering, the Holder must sell its Registrable Securities to, if applicable, the underwriter(s) at the same price and subject to the same underwriting discounts and commissions that apply to the other securities sold in such offering (it being acknowledged that the Company shall be responsible for other expenses as set forth in Section 5(b)) and subject to the Holder entering into customary underwriting documentation for selling stockholders in an underwritten public offering, and (B) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5(e)(i) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to cause such registration statement to become effective under the 1933 Act, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration; provided, however , that nothing contained in this Section 5(e)(ii) shall limit the Company’s other obligations and/or liabilities under this Agreement.


(f)        Additional Company Obligations .  In addition to, and not as a limitation of any other of Holder’s rights herein, with a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Holder to sell shares of Common Stock without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holder thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect, or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to the Holder upon request, as long as such Holder owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

Exhibit 99.1


GrowLife Ignites Nationwide Launch Backed with Strategic Partnership and Growth Capital


The Company makes a transformative move to become the nation’s largest cultivation service provider, starting with a major expansion to 17 states, and new CANX partnership


SEATTLE, July 18, 2014 – GrowLife, Inc. (OTC: PHOT) aims to become the nation’s largest cultivation facility service provider for organics, greens and plant-based medicines. The Company announced today its first significant achievement towards that vision with the nationwide launch of its direct-to-cultivator sales network and automated replenishment services beginning in 17 states. Additional states will be added by the end of the year. GrowLife also announced a new strategic partnership with CANX USA LLC (CANX). The partnership with CANX provides financial resources to GrowLife under an expanded joint venture agreement that will support the Company’s national expansion, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) initiatives.


“The most efficient way for us to take advantage of the explosive growth in the industry is to be proactive and bring our goods directly to our customers. Since June, we’ve developed and launched the first 17 states of our nationwide sales expansion plan,” said GrowLife President, Marco Hegyi. “Also, we’ve shed more than 60 percent in operating expenses from under performing retail and business units with this plan. This increases our ability to reach a significantly larger customer base, thus generating greater revenue at a much lower operating cost. We’ve passed on these savings to the customer as well.”


GrowLife activated its nationwide sales network initially servicing Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. With GrowLife, specialty cultivation facilities can be assured they will have timely and reliable access to the industry’s premium supplies such as farming soil, plant nutrients, hydroponic equipment, and thousands more products.


“Building a cultivation facility requires huge investments in certified lighting, premium grade soil, and top nutrients,” said Daniel Curlyo of Cascade Crops. “We’re a GrowLife customer because we can’t afford to invest in supplies or services that could jeopardize the quality of our crops, or our government compliance status.”


Also announced today is an enhanced strategic partnership between GrowLife and CANX. The partnership, as agreed to under an amended joint venture, increases funding resources to three new and significant channels for GrowLife. In addition to its expansion efforts, GrowLife will apply these new funding resources to high-value, cash-flowing mergers and acquisitions that are critical to the business.


Under this partnership, CANX agrees to provide GrowLife with $10 million in working capital with secured loans, $12 million in GrowLife-direct M&A capital resources, and joint venture M&A financing exceeding the $40 million cap, imposed by the previous arrangement. All transactions must be approved by the joint venture and meet a pre-determined deal criteria.  Furthermore, CANX has waived defaults from the prior November 19, 2013 contract with GrowLife. In addition, the Company obtained waivers of default from other lenders, which were triggered by the trading halt back in April.


“We’ve removed many obstacles, distractions, and secured financial resources necessary to stabilize the company and launch 2.0,” said Hegyi. “CANX and GrowLife have come together under a revised agreement that gives us access to capital under favorable terms that are designed to mitigate risk, generate cash flow and return on investment. Except for resolving the class action and grey sheet matters, which we are pursuing, we’ve paid the price to take corrective action, cut about $160,000 in spending each month, and are now focused on building the nation’s largest cultivation product and service network.”




GrowLife offers high-quality supplies to commercial and independent cultivators across the nation to help ensure grows are safe, certified and produce premium results. As a result, GrowLife, along with its valued customers, is responsibly building a new high-growth economy that is keeping revenue accrued on our shores. GrowLife is now poised to capture a large share of the market while exercising a conservative financial structure that strengthens operations.
