I. PURPOSE
The purpose of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Growblox Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") shall be to review and make recommendations to the Board regarding all forms of compensation to be provided to the executive officers and directors of the Company, including without limitation bonus and stock compensation, as well as all bonus and stock compensation to all employees of the Company.

II. STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
The Company's philosophy in setting its compensation policies for executive officers is to maximize stockholder value over time. The Compensation Committee is to set the Company's compensation policies applicable to the executive officers, including without limitation the chief executive officer, and evaluate the performance of such officers. The Compensation Committee strongly believes that executive compensation should be directly linked to continuous improvements in corporate performance and increases in stockholder value. In this regard, the Compensation Committee adopts the following guidelines for compensation decisions:
• Provide a competitive total compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain key executive talent;
• Align all pay programs with the Company's annual and long-term business strategies and objectives; and
• Provide variable compensation opportunities that are directly linked to the performance of the Company and that link executive reward to stockholder return.
The Compensation Committee shall focus primarily on the following three components in forming the total compensation package for its executive officers:
• Base salary;
• Annual incentive bonus; and
• Long-term incentives.
