COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of July 8, 2005, by and between HEPALIFE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and FUSION CAPITAL FUND II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Buyer”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 10 hereof. 




WHEREAS:




Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company wishes to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to buy from the Company, up to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).  The shares of Common Stock to be purchased hereunder are referred to herein as the "Purchase Shares."




NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:




1. 

PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK.  




Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 9 below, the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares as follows:




(a)

Commencement of Purchases of Common Stock.  The purchase and sale of Purchase Shares hereunder shall commence (the "Commencement") within five (5) Trading Days following the date of satisfaction of the conditions to the Commencement set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below  (the date of such Commencement, the "Commencement Date").  




(b)

Buyer's Purchase Rights and Obligations.  Subject to the Company’s right to suspend purchases under Section 1(d)(ii) hereof, the Buyer shall buy Purchase Shares (“Daily Purchases”) on each Trading Day during each Monthly Period equal to the Daily Purchase Amount (as defined in Section 1(c)(i)) at the Purchase Price.  From time to time, the Company shall also have the right but not the obligation, by its delivery to the Buyer of a Block Purchase Notice (as defined in Section 1(c)(iv)), to require the Buyer to buy Purchase Shares (a “Block Purchase”) equal to the Block Purchase Amount (as defined in Section 1(c)(iv)) at the Block Purchase Price (as defined in Section 1(c)(iv)).  The Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Purchase Shares as full payment for the purchase of the Purchase Shares so received.  The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any purchase.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down to the nearest whole share.  All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Trading Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Trading Day.




(c)

The Daily Purchase Amount; Company's Right to Decrease or Increase the Daily Purchase Amount; the Block Purchase Amount.




(i)

The Daily Purchase Amount.  As used herein the term “Original Daily Purchase Amount” shall mean Twenty Thousand Five Dollars ($25,000) per Trading Day. As used herein, the term “Daily Purchase Amount” shall mean initially Twenty Thousand Five Dollars ($25,000) per Trading Day, which amount may be increased or decreased from time to time pursuant to this Section 1(c).




(ii)

Company’s Right to Decrease the Daily Purchase Amount.  The Company shall always have the right at any time to decrease the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount by delivering written notice (a “Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice”) to the Buyer which notice shall specify the new Daily Purchase Amount.  The decrease in the Daily Purchase Amount shall become effective one Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer of the Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice.  Any purchases by the Buyer which have a Purchase Date on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice must be honored by the Company as otherwise provided herein.  The decrease in the Daily Purchase Amount shall remain in effect until the Company delivers to the Buyer a Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice (as defined below).




(iii)

Company’s Right to Increase the Daily Purchase Amount.  The Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) to increase the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1(c)(iii) by delivering written notice to the Buyer stating the new amount of the Daily Purchase Amount (a “Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice”).  A Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice shall be effective five (5) Trading Days after receipt by the Buyer.  The Company shall always have the right at any time to increase the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount up to the Original Daily Purchase Amount.  With respect to increases in the Daily Purchase Amount above the Original Daily Purchase Amount, as the market price for the Common Stock increases the Company shall have the right from time to time to increase the Daily Purchase Amount as follows.  For every $0.20 increase in Threshold Price above $2.00 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction), the Company shall have the right to increase the Daily Purchase Amount by up to an additional $2,500 in excess of the Original Daily Purchase Amount.  “Threshold Price” for purposes hereof means the lowest Sale Price of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the submission to the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction).  For example, if the Threshold Price is $2.40, the Company shall have the right to increase the Daily Purchase Amount to up to $30,000 in the aggregate.  If the Threshold Price is $4.00, the Company shall have the right to increase the Daily Purchase Amount to up to $50,000 in the aggregate.  Any increase in the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount shall continue in effect until the delivery to the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Amount Decrease Notice.  However, if at any time during any Trading Day the Sale Price of the Common Stock is below the applicable Threshold Price, such increase in the Daily Purchase Amount shall be void and the Buyer’s obligations to buy Purchase Shares hereunder in excess of the applicable maximum Daily Purchase Amount shall be terminated.  Thereafter, the Company shall again have the right to increase the amount of the Daily Purchase Amount as set forth herein by delivery of a new Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice only if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is above the applicable Threshold Price on each of five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such new Daily Purchase Amount Increase Notice.




(iv)

The Block Purchase Amount.  As used herein the term “Block Purchase Amount” shall mean such Purchase Amount as specified by the Company in a Block Purchase Notice.  As used herein the term “Block Purchase Notice” shall mean an irrevocable written notice from the Company to the Buyer directing the Buyer to buy the Purchase Amount in Purchase Shares as specified by the Company therein at the Block Purchase Price.  For a Block Purchase Notice to be valid the following conditions must be met: (1) the Block Purchase Amount shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) per Block Purchase Notice, (2) the Company must deliver the Purchase Shares on the same day as the Block Purchase Notice is delivered and (3) the Sale Price of the Common Stock must have been above $2.50 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice.  The Block Purchase Amount may be increased to up to $500,000 if the Sale Price of the Common Stock is above $4.00 (subject to equitable adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction) during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the delivery of the Block Purchase Notice.  The Company may deliver multiple Block Purchase Notices as it shall determine; provided however, at least ten (10) Trading Days must have passed since the most recent Block Purchase was completed.  As used herein, the term “Block Purchase Price” shall mean the lowest Purchase Price during the previous fifteen (15) Trading Days prior to the date that the Block Purchase Notice was received by the Buyer.  The daily purchases shall be automatically suspended for ten (10) trading days each time any such block purchase notice is delivered. 







(d)

Limitations on Purchases.




(i)

Limitation on Beneficial Ownership.  The Buyer shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase shares of Common Stock under this Agreement to the extent that after giving effect to such purchase the Buyer together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such purchase.  For purposes hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Buyer and its affiliates or acquired by the Buyer and its affiliates, as the case may be, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with a purchase under this Agreement with respect to which the determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (1) a purchase of the remaining Available Amount which has not been submitted for purchase, and (2) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any notes or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Buyer and its affiliates.  For purposes of this Section, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Buyer may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company's most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K (or Form 10-KSB or Form 10-QSB), as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written communication by the Company or its Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the reasonable written or oral request of the Buyer, the Company shall promptly confirm orally and in writing to the Buyer the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any purchases under this Agreement by the Buyer since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, for purposes of this Section 1(d)(i), beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.




(ii)

Company's Right to Suspend Purchases.  The Company may, at any time, give written notice (a " Daily Purchase Suspension Notice") to the Buyer suspending Daily Purchases of Purchase Shares by the Buyer under this Agreement.  The Daily Purchase Suspension Notice shall be effective only for Daily Purchases that have a Purchase Date later than one (1) Trading Day after receipt of the Daily Purchase Suspension Notice by the Buyer. Any Daily Purchase by the Buyer that has a Purchase Date on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day after receipt by the Buyer of a Daily Purchase Suspension Notice from the Company must be honored by the Company as otherwise provided herein.  Such Daily Purchase suspension shall continue in effect until a revocation in writing by the Company, at its sole discretion.  




(iii)

Purchase Price Floor.  The Company shall not affect any sales under this Agreement and the Buyer shall not have the right nor the obligation to purchase any Purchase Shares under this Agreement on any Trading Day where the Purchase Price for any purchases of Purchase Shares would be less than the Floor Price.  “Floor Price” means $0.75, which shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction.




(e)

Records of Purchases.  The Buyer and the Company shall each maintain records showing the remaining Available Amount at any give time and the dates and Purchase Amounts for each purchase or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company.

In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities to the New Person within 10 Trading Days after notice thereof to the Buyer, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities to any New Person without first again complying with this Section.  “New Securities” shall mean any shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or any other equity securities of the Company or securities convertible or exchangeable for equity securities of the Company, provided, however, that New Securities shall not include, (i) shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any securities outstanding as of the date hereof, (ii) shares, options or warrants for Common Stock granted to officers, directors and employees of the Company pursuant to stock option plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iii) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock issued pursuant to the acquisition of another company by consolidation, merger, or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of such company or (iv) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a strategic transaction involving  the Company and issued to an entity or an affiliate of such entity that is engaged in the same or substantially related business as the Company.

In the event that the Commencement shall not have occurred on or before November 30,2005, due to the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 above with respect to the Commencement (and the nonbreaching party's failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement at the close of business on such date or thereafter without liability of any party to any other party.

The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company shall pay, and hold the Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and out of pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim.




(m)

No Strict Construction.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.




(n)

Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.  The Buyer’s remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to the Buyer under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy of the Buyer contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit the Buyer's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.

(q)

Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 EXHIBIT A




FORM OF COMPANY COUNSEL OPINION




Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein, have the meaning set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.  Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:




1.

The Company is a corporation existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida.  The Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in the States of Florida.

2.

The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, each Transaction Document to which it is a party.  The Company has the corporate power to conduct its business as, to the best of our knowledge, it is now conducted, and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.

3.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.  The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance of the obligations of the Company thereunder and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated therein have been duly authorized and approved by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent, approval or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required.  The Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and are the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting creditor’s rights and remedies.

4.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby including the offering, sale and issuance of the Commitment Shares, and the Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and fulfillment and compliance with terms of the Transaction Documents, do not as of the date hereof: (i) conflict with, constitute a breach of or default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, constitutes or could constitute a breach or a default), under (a) the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, (b) any material agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other material instrument to which to our knowledge the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound, (ii) result in any violation of any statute, law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company, or (iii) to our knowledge, violate any order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

5.

The issuance of the Purchase Shares, the Signing Shares and Commitment Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized and the Commitment Shares and the Signing Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights. 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been properly reserved for issuance under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.  When issued and paid for in accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to our knowledge, free of all taxes, liens, charges, restrictions, rights of first refusal and preemptive rights.    To our knowledge, the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder shall not, give rise to any rights of any other person for the registration under the 1933 Act of any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which have not been waived.

6.

As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of _______ shares of common stock, par value $______ per share, of which to our knowledge __________ shares are issued and outstanding.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3(c) of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, to our knowledge, there are no outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of the capital stock of the Company.

7.

Assuming the accuracy of the representations and your compliance with the covenants made by you in the Transaction Documents and the timely filing of applicable notices, the offering, sale and issuance of the Commitment Shares to you pursuant to the Transaction Documents is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.

8.

Other than that which has been obtained and completed prior to the date hereof, no authorization, approval, consent, filing or other order of any federal or state governmental body, regulatory agency, or stock exchange or market, or any court, or, to our knowledge, any third party is required to be obtained by the Company to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents or for the Company to issue and sell the Purchase Shares as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

9.  The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act.  To our knowledge, since January 1, 2004, the Company has been in compliance with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act applicable to it.  To our knowledge, since January 1, 2004, the Company has not received any written notice from the Principal Market stating that the Company has not been in compliance with any of the rules and regulations (including the requirements for continued listing) of the Principal Market.

We further advise you that to our knowledge, except as disclosed on Schedule 3(h) in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body, any governmental agency, any stock exchange or market, or self-regulatory organization, which has been threatened in writing or which is currently pending against the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any officers or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of the properties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 







In addition, we have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement (SEC File #________) covering the sale of the Purchase Shares, the Commitment Shares including the prospectus dated ____________, contained therein and in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company (including the Company’s independent auditors) during which the contents of the Registration Statement and related matters were discussed and reviewed and, although we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, on the basis of the information that was developed in the course of the performance of the services referred to above, considered in the light of our understanding of the applicable law, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and schedules and the other financial and statistical data included therein, as to which we express no belief), as of their dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
