Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Growblox Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “GBLX”) has entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated May 12, 2015 and effective as of June 8, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), with Pacific Leaf Ventures, LP (the “Lender” or “Pacific Leaf”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to make an installment loan to the Company of up to $1,750,000 (the “Loan”).  The purpose of the financing will be to provide for the acquisition and installation of an operating facility, equipment and other tangible assets by GB Sciences Nevada LLC (“GBS Nevada”)., a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company   Such facility and equipment will be dedicated to the cultivation of cannabis and the extraction of oils and other constituents present in cannabis, subject at all times to Nevada legal requirements.

GBS Nevada holds a provisional certificate from the Division of Public & Behavioral Health of the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services to operate an establishment to cultivate medical cannabis at 3550 West Teco Avenue, in Clark County Nevada.  The certificate is considered provisional until the establishment is in compliance with applicable local government requirements and has received a state business operating license.  Granted in November 2014, the provisional certificate is subject to revocation if a medical marijuana establishment is not fully operational within 18 months from receipt.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Lender shall make advances to the Company, as follows: (a) $100,000 on the Effective Date; (b) $600,000 by July 9, 2015; (c) $700,000 by August 9, 2015; and (d) $350,000 by September 9, 2015.  The installment advances are designed to dovetail with construction and implementation needs for the cultivation facility for GBS Nevada.  The obligation of the Lender to make each periodic installment advance in connection with the Loan is subject to satisfaction by the Company of certain conditions, including compliance with certain covenants and with Nevada legal requirements and no material adverse events.  The proceeds of the Loan can be used only for the purchase of assets, construction, and leasehold improvements related to the cultivation facility.  Part of the assets purchased with the proceeds of the note will include extraction equipment developed by the Company in cooperation with Pacific Leaf.  The note is secured by a first lien and security interest on (i) the equipment of GBS Nevada, including the equipment purchased with the proceeds of the Loan, and (ii) the Company’s equity in GBS Nevada.

To evidence the Loan, the Company issued to the Lender a 6% senior secured convertible promissory note, to bear interest at a fixed rate of 6% per annum, payable quarterly.  All outstanding principal and interest due under the Note shall be due and payable on May 12, 2020.  The Company is required to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the note on a quarterly basis in an amount equal to 50% of the cash flow (accrued EBITDA) of GBS Nevada attributable to Company’s percentage interest in GBS Nevada.

Pacific Leaf has the option, at any time and from time to time, prior to the date on which the Company makes payment in full of the note, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the note into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company at an initial conversion price equal to $0.50.  Pacific Leaf and any subsequent holders of the note shall be granted rights to piggyback registration on all shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the note.

In a related development, the Company also entered into an exclusive perpetual license agreement with Pacific Leaf to make use of Pacific Leaf’s intellectual property for the cultivation of cannabis and extraction of oils and other strains of cannabis that it has developed or acquired (the “Pacific Leaf Intellectual Property”) for the sole use of GBS Nevada in its operations within the state of Nevada; it being understood that any other use of the Pacific Leaf Intellectual Property requires the approval of the licensor. 
 
 
 

 
 
The Company believes that the rights to the Pacific Leaf Intellectual Property will give GBS Nevada a significant competitive advantage in the Nevada cannabis market.  In consideration for the license of the Pacific Leaf Intellectual Property, the Company has agreed to pay Pacific Leaf for a period of ten years out of all periodic distributions it receives from GBS Nevada (based on the Company’s percentage equity in GBS Nevada) a royalty at the rate of 14% of the gross revenue earned by the Company from GBS Nevada for the initial five years, and a royalty at the rate of 7% of gross sales revenues of GBS Nevada in years six through ten.

As part of the Pacific Leaf license, the Company was also granted the exclusive perpetual right in Nevada to use certain proprietary techniques developed by Pacific Leaf for the extraction of oils from the product grown in the Nevada facility, using the extraction equipment financed by the proceeds of the Pacific Leaf loan.  In connection therewith, the Company agreed to pay a royalty of $2.00 per extracted gram for a period of five years.

There can be no assurance that

·  
the Company will be able to comply with its covenants under the Pacific Leaf Note Purchaser Agreement so as to enable it to receive all of the anticipated funding thereunder;
·  
there will not be cost over-runs in connection with the purchase and/or lease of the cultivation facility and related equipment resulting in the proceeds of the Loan being insufficient to enable GBS Nevada to complete the installation and commence production of cannabis for medical purposes;
·  
a state business license to operate the medical cannabis facility will be issued, or that the Company or GBS Nevada will not violate existing or newly imposed state, county and city regulations in Nevada that would significant restrict or prohibit its proposed business activities; or
·  
the proposed business to be conducted by GBS Nevada with the proceeds of the Loan will prove profitable to the Company or its subsidiary.

A default by the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement could have a material adverse effect on the business of both the Company and its subsidiary.

Although the proposed and actual business activities of GBS Nevada are not illegal within the State of Nevada, the production and sale of cannabis products violate federal laws as presently constituted.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement and the Royalty Agreement are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

2.9.8              any other event or condition of any character, except for such events and conditions that have not resulted, and are not reasonably expected to result either individually or collectively, in a Material Adverse Effect;

7

 
 
3.2          Restricted Securities . The Investor understands that the Note and the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein. The Investor understands that the offering and sale of the Note is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor contained in this Agreement. The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Note, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Investor’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
 
3.3             Investor Statu s .  At the time such Investor was offered the Note, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it converts the Note it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.  Investor is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
 
3.4             Experience of Investor .  The Investor, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Note, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Note and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.  Investor represents and warrants that Investor has only relied on information set forth in the SEC Documents and this Agreement in connection with Investor's investment in the Note.
 
3.5 Ability to Bear Risk . The Investor understands and agrees that purchase of the Note is a high risk investment and the Investor is able to afford an investment in a speculative venture having the risks and objectives of the Company, including a risk of total loss of such investment. The Investor has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Investor’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Investor’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Note will not cause such commitment to become excessive. This investment is a suitable one for the Investor. The Investor must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Note indefinitely because neither the Note nor the Conversion Shares may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
 
3.6             Approval .   The   Purchaser understands that neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the sale of the Note or Conversion Shares or passed upon or confirmed the accuracy or determined the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.
 
 
8

 
 
3.7             Disclosure of Information .   The Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Note and the business, prospects, properties and financial condition of the Company.
 
3.8             Legends . It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Note and the Conversion Shares may bear one or all of the following legends:
 
“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.”
 
Any other legend required by the securities laws of the State of Delaware.
 
3.9             Authorization .   The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of the Agreement has been duly authorized by all requisite action of the Investor.  The Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Investor, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with their terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.
 
4.

6.6.1               Right to Include Conversion Shares .   Each time that the Company proposes for any reason to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act, either for its own account or for the account of a stockholder or stockholders, other than Registration Statements on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or similar or successor forms) (a “ Proposed Registration ”), the Company shall promptly give written notice of such Proposed Registration to the Investor (which notice shall be given in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the expected filing date of the Proposed Registration) and shall offer Investor the right to request inclusion of any of such Investor’s Conversion Shares in the Proposed Registration.  The rights to piggyback registration may be exercised on an unlimited number of occasions.

11

 
 
Subject to Section 6.6.4 below, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Proposed Registration all such Conversion Shares so requested to be included therein; provided , however , that the Company may at any time withdraw or cease proceeding with any such Proposed Registration if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all other shares of Common Stock originally proposed to be registered.

12

Unless otherwise defined in this Note, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
 
1.   Principal Repayment
 
A.   Optional Prepayment .  At any time from and after the Issue Date, the Company may prepay this Note, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.
 
B.   Mandatory Prepayment
 
(i)   The Company shall prepay the outstanding Principal Amount in an amount equal to 50% of the Company’s Share of GBS Nevada EBITDA (as such term is defined below) with respect to each calendar quarter ending after the date of this Note, no later than the earlier to occur of (a) the fifth (5 th ) business day following receipt of a distribution of the Company’s Share of GBS Nevada EBITDA for the calendar quarter in question (a “ Distribution ”), or (b) thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar quarter in question, with the first such prepayment to be made not later than July 31, 2015 with respect to the quarter ending June 30, 2015.

The “ Company’s Share of GBS Nevada EBITDA ” with respect to any calendar quarter shall be equal to the product of (i) the Company’s percentage membership interest in GBS Nevada LLC (“ GBS Nevada ”) as of the last day of such quarter, multiplied by (ii) the sum of  (a) net income, plus (b) interest expense, plus (c) income taxes, plus (d) depreciation, plus (v) amortization; in each case, of GBS Nevada for such calendar quarter, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”).
 
(ii)   Each mandatory prepayment under this Section 1B shall be accompanied by a statement in reasonable detail setting for the Company’s calculation of the amount of such prepayment.
 
C.   Notice of Prepayment.   Before the Company shall be permitted to prepay this Note pursuant to 1A hereof, the Company shall provide thirty (30) days prior notice to the Payee of its intent to make such prepayment, which notice shall state the date and amount of such prepayment (the “ Prepayment Date ”).  The Payee shall have the option at any time prior to the Prepayment Date to elect to convert this Note pursuant to Section 5 below.
 
2.   Computation of Interest .

B.   Penalty Interest .  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below), the rate of interest applicable to the unpaid Principal Amount shall be increased to ten (10%) percent per annum.
 
C.   Maximum Rate .  In the event that it is determined that, under the laws relating to usury applicable to the Company or the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (“ Applicable Usury Laws ”), the interest charges and fees payable by the Company in connection herewith or in connection with any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith cause the effective interest rate applicable to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to exceed the maximum rate allowed by law (the “ Maximum Rate ”), then such interest shall be recalculated for the period in question and any excess over the Maximum Rate paid with respect to such period shall be credited, without further agreement or notice, to the Principal Amount outstanding hereunder to reduce said balance by such amount with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to be so applied to principal and the Payee had agreed to accept such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. All such deemed prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance payable at maturity. In no event shall any agreed-to or actual exaction as consideration for this Note exceed the limits imposed or provided by Applicable Usury Laws in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident applicable to the use or detention of money or to forbearance in seeking its collection in the jurisdiction in which the Company is resident.

5.   Conversion of Note .
 
A.   Optional Conversion .  The Holder of this Note shall have the option, at any time and from time to time, prior to the date on which the Company makes payment in full of the Principal Amount of this Note in accordance herewith, all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable thereunder to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (such Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest to be so converted the “ Conversion Amount ”) into shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“ Common Stock ”), of the Company at an initial conversion price per share equal to $0.50 per share (the “ Conversion Price ”), subject to adjustment as provided in subsection 5F below.  The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at the Conversion Price are referred to herein as the “ Conversion Shares .”
 
B.   Conversion Limitation .  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.  For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The Holder may void the Conversion Share limitation described in this Section 5B upon 65 days prior notice to the Company or without any notice requirement upon an Event of Default.
 
C.   Mechanics of Conversion .
 
(i)   Before the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5A, such holder shall give written notice (“ Conversion Notice ”) to the Company at its principal corporate office, by email, facsimile or otherwise, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the Conversion Amount and the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued.  On or before the third (3rd) 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 the Rule 144.

(ii)   All Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Note will, upon issuance, be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
 
D.   Authorized Shares .  At all times the Company shall have authorized and shall have reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Principal Amount outstanding under this Note at the then effective Conversion Price.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, at any time, the Conversion Price is decreased, the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance upon the conversion of this Note shall be proportionately increased.
 
E.   Failure to Timely Deliver Shares .  If within five (5) business days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile or email copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of this Note (a “ Conversion Failure ”), the Company shall pay to the Holder $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 portion of the Principal Amount of this Note.  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 Notice attributable to the unsold shares.
 
F.   Anti-Dilution Provisions .  The Conversion Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
 
(i)   In case the Company shall hereafter (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action, and the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action.  Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
 
(ii)   Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Subsection (i) above, the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of Conversion Shares initially issuable upon conversion of this Note by the Conversion Price in effect on the date hereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Conversion Price, as adjusted.
 
 
10

 
 
(iii)   In case of any reorganization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (including any such reorganization, reclassification or change in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), or any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into, any other entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing entity), or of any sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other person or entity, this Note shall thereafter be convertible into the kind and amount of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note would have been converted prior to such transaction.  The provisions of this subsection (iii) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers or sales immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or sale.
 
6.   Amendments and Waivers .
 
A.   The provisions of this Note may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented, if such amendment, modification or supplement is in writing and consented to by the Company and the Payee.

C.   To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Payee, and such payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently for any reason invalidated, set aside and/or required to be repaid by the Payee to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made by the Payee or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
