CONVERTIBLE NOTES
AND
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
SYNTHETIC BLOOD INTERNATIONAL, INC.
The Securities, as described herein, have not been registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being offered in reliance on exemptions from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The Securities and any other rights pursuant to this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, or otherwise disposed of for value, except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
The Securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Commission or any state or other regulatory authority, nor has the Commission or any state or other regulatory authority passed on the accuracy or adequacy of any offering information provided. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January __, 2008, by and between SYNTHETIC BLOOD INTERNATIONAL, INC., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned investor (the “Investor”), shall constitute the irrevocable offer of the undersigned to purchase securities of the Company.
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company wishes to sell to the Investor for cash, (A) one or more Convertible Notes in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note” or “Notes”) and (B) one or more Warrants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”). The shares of Common Stock into which the Notes are convertible are referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and the shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are exercisable are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares”. The Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.
The Notes are being issued at a 55% original issue discount, meaning that the principal face amount of the Notes issued to Investor will be discounted by 55% to equal the amount of cash paid for the investment. The Notes will be convertible into Common Stock to receive the number of shares equal to the Principal Amount divided by the Conversion Price (initially $0.247 per share of Common Stock). The Principal Amount and the Purchase Price are set forth on the signature page of this Agreement.
The Warrants issued to Investor will be exercisable at any time for a period of five years from issuance, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrants. The Warrants entitle the Investor to purchase a number of Warrant Shares equal to one-half the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes purchased (without regard to any restrictions on such conversion), at an exercise price initially equal to the Conversion Price, or $0.247 per each Warrant Share (the “Warrant Exercise Price”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that, as long as (A) the resale or transfer (including without limitation a pledge) of any of the Securities is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement, (B) such Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144, subject to receipt by the Company of customary documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company in connection therewith, or (C) such Securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144(k) or any successor provision, such Securities shall be issued without any legend or other restrictive language and, with respect to Securities upon which such legend is stamped, the Company shall issue new certificates without such legend to the holder upon request.

The Investor understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor set forth in this Section 2 in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities.
2.8 Non-Affiliate Status; Common Stock Ownership. The Investor is not an Affiliate of the Company.

The Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement with respect to any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares that have been sold or may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect. If: (i) a registration statement is not effective with respect to any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares the Company is obligated to register for resale on or before the date specified above; or (ii) after the effective date a registration statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective for all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares for which it is required to be effective, or the Holders are not permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell such shares for 20 consecutive trading days, but no more than an aggregate of 40 trading days during any 12-month period (which need not be consecutive trading days) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clause (i) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such 20 or 40 trading day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then within 10 days following each such Event Date and within 10 days following each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such monthly anniversary date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate market value on the Event Date of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares that are not so registered or cannot be sold under an effective registration statement. The holder of the Securities shall provide to the Company in writing all information reasonably required by the Company to comply with its disclosure obligations in the registration statement imposed by the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The failure of the holder of any of the Securities for any reason to provide such information at least five Business Days prior to the filing of the registration statement covering the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares shall effect a termination of any obligation of the Company to file any registration statement pertaining to the Securities and the Company shall have no liability to such holder with respect to the liquidated damages stated above.
5. MISCELLANEOUS.
