Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On October 26, 2006, Boston Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) issued an amended and restated unsecured promissory note (the “Amended Note”) in favor of Robert L. Gipson (“Gipson”) to replace the unsecured promissory note issued to Gipson on August 8, 2006. Under the Amended Note, (i) the aggregate principal amount that may be borrowed by the Company has been increased from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000, and (ii) one of the dates triggering repayment under the definition of Maturity Date (as discussed below) has been moved from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2007.
     Also, on October 26, 2006, the Company issued to Thomas L. Gipson (a “Lender” and together with Gipson, the “Lenders”) an unsecured promissory note, pursuant to which the Company may, through one or more advances, borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “October Note”, together with the Amended Note, the “Notes”). The Notes contain the terms as described below.
     From time to time prior to the Maturity Date (discussed below), the Lenders shall make requested advances to the Company under the Notes so long as each advance totals at least $1,000,000.
     The outstanding principal amount borrowed under the Notes shall be due and payable upon the earliest to occur of: (i) June 30, 2007; (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an equity financing in which the gross proceeds to the Company total at least $10,000,000; and (iii) the date on which a Lender declares an event of default (as defined in the Notes), the first of these three events to occur referred to as the “Maturity Date.”
     Interest shall accrue on each advance under the Notes from the date of such advance and all unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Interest on each advance shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to: (a) 9% from the date of the advance to the Maturity Date; (b) 11% from and after the Maturity Date or during the continuance of an event of default; or (c) if less than the rates applicable under both clauses (a) and (b), the maximum rate permissible by law.
     The Company has agreed to certain covenants under the Notes, including covenants agreeing not to: (A) incur or assume indebtedness; (B) make any dividends or distributions on its capital stock; (C) sell, lease or transfer any material assets or property; or (D) liquidate or dissolve.
     According to a Schedule 13G/A filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 24, 2006, Gipson beneficially owned approximately 18.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company on January 1, 2006. Gipson, who serves as a Senior Director of Ingalls & Snyder LLC and a General Partner of ISVP, served as a director of the Company from June 15, 2004 until October 28, 2004.
     According to a Schedule 13G/A filed with SEC on January 24, 2006, Thomas L. Gipson beneficially owned approximately 19.4% of the outstanding common stock of the Company on January 1, 2006.
     The foregoing description of the Amended Note and October Note are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Amended Note and October Note, complete copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
