$250,000 March 1,2008
OxySure Systems, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware ("Obligor", which term, as used herein, shall include any successor thereto), for value received, hereby executes and delivers this Promissory Note ("Note") in favor of JTR Investments, Limited ("Holder"), a Texas Limited Partnership, and hereby promises to pay to Holder, his designees or his successors and permitted assigns, the principal sum of up to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made by Holder to Obligor hereunder, whichever is less, in lawful money of the United States (the "Principal Amount") on the Maturity Date (as defined below). Holder shall make advances hereunder and Obligor may borrow amounts pursuant to this Note upon written request to Holder; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the face amount of this Note; and provided further, that Holder's obligation to make advances and Obligor's right to borrow are subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained in this Note.
1. Maturity Date. The then outstanding Principal Amount shall become due and payable upon the completion of the next financing round completed by the Obligor or on the first anniversary of the Issue Date (the "Maturity Date"), whichever happens first. "Issue Date" means the date of first issuance of this Note as first set forth above. Issue Date shall mean the later of the date set forth above or the date of signature hereof.
2. Acceleration. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the obligations of Obligor hereunder shall forthwith mature and immediately accelerate and shall be immediately due and payable on the Default Date (as hereinafter defined) in the event that (i) the business of Obligor is discontinued, sold, liquidated or otherwise disposed of, whether by liquidation or dissolution, or (ii) Obligor shall take, or intends to take, or, as far as Obligor is aware, any other person shall receive a judgment, order or decree from a court of competent jurisdiction, in each case, for the Obligor's winding up, liquidation, dissolution, merger or consolidation that is not pursuant to an agreement between Obligor and Holder, or for the appointment of a receiver in relation to any or all of Obligor's assets, or Obligor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or shall commit any other act of insolvency (each a "Default Event"). The date on which any Default Event occurs is referred to herein as the "Default Date."
3. Prepayments. Obligor may prepay any of the Principal Amount or any interest accrued on this Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date.
4. Method of Payment. Obligor shall pay all amounts payable under this Convertible Note in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Holder or, if no account has been designated, by certified check delivered to Holder at such place as Holder shall designate to Obligor in writing.
5. Presentment Waived. Obligor hereby expressly waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest. Acceptance by Holder of any payment that is less than the full amount then due and owing hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of Holder's right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time.

6. Subordination. Prior to the Maturity Date, except for the obligations of Obligor upon any conversion of the Principal Amount in accordance with the terms of this Note, all indebtedness evidenced by this Note (the "Subordinated Indebtedness") shall be subordinated to all other indebtedness of Obligor, whether existing as of the Issue Date or incurred at any time after the Issue Date (the "Senior Indebtedness"), and in that connection, prior to the Maturity Date, except for the obligations of Obligor upon any conversion of the Principal Amount in accordance with the terms of this Note:
(a) the payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subordinated to all and any rights, claims and actions which any other person may now or hereafter have against Obligor in respect of the Senior Indebtedness;
(b) the Subordinated Indebtedness shall not become capable of being subject to any right of setoff or counterclaim; and
(c) except upon the Maturity Date, upon the acceleration pursuant to Section 2, or upon the conversion of the Principal Amount in accordance with the terms of this Note, Holder shall not claim, request, demand, sue for, take or receive (whether by way of set-off or in any other manner and whether from Obligor or any other person) any money or other property in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any part thereof.
7. Conversion Rights. At any time prior to the Maturity Date, subject to the written consent of Obligor, all but not less than all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Convertible Note may be converted (an "Optional Conversion") into a number of shares of Obligor's common stock (the "Optional Conversion Shares") equal to the amount of the then outstanding Principal Amount to be converted divided by the Conversion Price (herein so called) which shall be one and one half dollars per Optional Conversion Share.
In order to exercise the right of Optional Conversion, Holder shall surrender this Note at the principal office of Obligor and shall give written notice of such exercise, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Optional Conversion Notice"), to Obligor at such office. Such Optional Conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the date on which such Optional Conversion Notice, duly completed and executed, shall have been given as aforesaid, and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 7, at such time such portion of the Principal Amount as is subject to such Optional Conversion shall be applied by Obligor in full payment of the Optional Conversion Shares to be issued in consequence of the Conversion and that application shall discharge Obligor from all liability in respect of such portion of the Principal Amount converted, and Holder shall be deemed for all puiposes to have become the holder of the Optional Conversion Shares.
As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days, after an Optional Conversion, Obligor, at its expense, shall cause Holder's name to be entered in the register of the shareholders of Obligor in respect of the Optional Conversion Shares and shall issue Holder certificates evidencing same. "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banks in the City of Dallas, State of Texas, United States of America are required or authorized to be closed. Notwithstanding any provision of this Note to the contrary, no Optional Conversion shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until Obligor shall have complied with the obligations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, whereupon such Optional Conversion shall be deemed to have been effective as of the date the Optional Conversion Notice is given to Obligor; provided, however, that no failure by Obligor to so comply with such obligations shall prohibit Holder from exercising his rights as the holder of the Optional Conversion Shares.
