Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On July 9, 2015, GrowLife, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement and related agreements (the “Transaction Documents”) with an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”) whereby the Company agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase up to $3,000,000 of senior secured convertible, redeemable debentures (the “Debentures”), of which $700,000 was purchased on July 9, 2015, and up to $2,300,000 may be purchased in additional closings (the “Transaction”).  The closing of the Transaction occurred on July 9, 2015 (the “Closing”).


The description of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Debenture, Security Agreement(s), Guaranty Agreement(s), Pledge Agreement(s) and related documentation are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Documents, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8, respectively, and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.  Certain capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Transaction Documents.


Securities Purchase Agreement


As set forth above, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement on July 9, 2015 with the Purchaser whereby the Purchaser agreed to purchase up to $3,000,000 of the Debentures of which $700,000 was purchased at Closing.  In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company, at the discretion of Purchaser, may request in writing at any time after the Closing that Purchaser purchase additional Debentures at agreed upon time periods and amounts (the “Additional Closings”).


The Securities Purchase Agreement also provides that the Company shall, within ninety (90) days of Closing, file any and all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) required under the Exchange Act to become current with the Company’s reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and shall use its best efforts to obtain approval for the listing and quotation of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) on the OTC Bulletin Board, or another Principal Trading Market more senior and established than the OTC Pink Sheets and approved by Purchaser, and to have such Common Stock trading in such Principal Trading Market.


In consideration for advisory services provided by Purchaser to the Company prior to the Closing (the “Advisory Fee”), the Company paid to Purchaser a fee by issuing to Purchaser 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.02 per share equal to $200,000 (the “Advisory Fee Shares”).  The Advisory Fee Shares were valued at a price equal to the lowest volume weighted average price for the Common Stock for the five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Valuation Date”), as reported by Bloomberg (the “VWAP”). The Advisory Fee Shares are subject to adjustment as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement.  The Company also paid certain transaction, due diligence and document review and legal fees to Purchaser in connection with the Transaction.


Senior Secured, Convertible, Redeemable Debenture


The Company entered into an initial Debenture dated July 9, 2015 with the Purchaser whereby the Purchaser purchased $700,000 in senior secured, convertible, redeemable debentures in exchange for $700,000 in immediately available and lawful money of the United States of America.  The Company promised to pay Purchaser, by no later than October 9, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”), the outstanding principal together with interest on the outstanding principal amount under the Debenture, at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum simple interest.  The Company shall make monthly payments of principal and interest on the Debenture to Purchaser, while this Debenture is outstanding, until the Maturity Date, based on the payment, amortization and redemption premium schedule attached as Schedule A to the Debenture.


The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture is also secured by a first priority lien and security interest in all of the assets and property of the Company and various other instruments as set forth in the Transaction Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement described below.


At any time while the Debenture is outstanding on or after the Closing, (i) if mutually agreed upon by the parties or (ii) at the sole option of the Purchaser upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Purchaser may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest redemption premium and any other sums due and payable hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents (such total amount, the “Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) at a price equal to: (i) the Conversion Amount (the numerator); divided by (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the lowest of the average daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date (the denominator) (the “Conversion Price”).

In addition, each of the Company’s operating subsidiaries also agreed to grant to Purchaser an unconditional and continuing, first priority security interest in all of the assets and property of each of the subsidiaries to further secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of Company’s obligations under the Debentures, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Intercreditor Agreement and Related Creditor Documentation


On July 9, 2015, the Company, each of its subsidiaries, Purchaser and Logic Works LLC (an existing senior secured creditor) entered into an Intercreditor Agreement whereby Purchaser and Logic Works agreed that their outstanding senior secured loans to the Company be secured on a pari passu basis with respect to all assets and property of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Collateral”).  As a result of the Intercreditor Agreement, all sums secured or owing to Purchaser and Logic Works shall be held by them on a pari passu and pro-rata basis between them, in proportion to such party’s outstanding principal amount owing under their respective loan documents.


In addition, the Company, each of its subsidiaries, Purchaser and Jordan Scott and Andrew Gentile, respectively, each entered into Subordination Agreements dated July 9, 2015 whereby Scott and Gentile agreed to subordinate their existing 6% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, dated March 16, 2012, as amended, all of their indebtedness, obligations and security interests to the Purchaser’s security interests as more fully set forth in the Transaction Documents.
