C. Closing. The closing of the Merger will take place as soon as practicable on the business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transaction, other than conditions with respect to actions the respective Parties will take at the Closing itself, or such other time as the Parties may mutually determine (the “Closing”).

D. Merger Certificate. At the Closing of the Merger, CTHE will file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Merger between Company and Merger Sub, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Merger Certificate”).

E. Effect of Merger.

(1) General. The Merger will become effective upon filing of the Merger Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). The Merger will have the effect set forth in the DGCL. The Surviving Corporation may, at any time after the Closing, take any action, including executing or delivering any document, in the name and on behalf of either Company or Merger Sub in order to carry out and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(2) Certificate of Incorporation. The certificate of incorporation of CTHE will be amended and restated at and as of the Effective Time to the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, in substantial conformance with the certificate of incorporation of Company immediately prior to the Closing, and the name of CTHE will be changed to “Xcorporeal, Inc.”

(3) Bylaws. The bylaws of CTHE will be amended and restated at and as of the Closing to read as did the bylaws of Company immediately prior to the Closing.

(5) Conversion of Company Shares and Reverse Split of CTHE Shares.

(a) Conversion. At and as of the Effective Time, (a) each issued and outstanding Company Share (other than any Dissenting Shares) will, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on behalf of CTHE, Merger Sub, Company, or any Company Stockholder, automatically be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable CTHE Share, (b) each Dissenting Share will be converted into the right to receive payment from Surviving Corporation with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL, and (c) all unissued and treasury Company Shares will be cancelled.

At and as of the Effective Time, (a) each 8.27 issued and outstanding CTHE Shares, par value $0.01, will, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on behalf of CTHE or any CTHE Stockholder, automatically be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable CTHE Share, par value $0.0001 (the ratio of pre-Merger CTHE Shares to one post-Merger CTHE Share is referred to herein as the “Conversion Ratio”), rounding up to the nearest whole share, such that there remain a total of approximately 350,000 post-Merger CTHE Shares resulting from such split.

(i) Following the Closing, upon surrender of an original stock certificate representing Company Shares or pre-Merger CTHE Shares, CTHE will cause to be issued a stock certificate for CTHE Shares to which such Person is entitled, bearing any necessary or appropriate restrictive legend. CTHE will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on Company Shares or CTHE Shares with a record date at or after the Closing until the record holder surrenders for exchange his, her, or its certificates that represented Company Shares or pre-Merger CTHE Shares.

(ii) If any certificate evidencing Shares shall has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit in form acceptable to CTHE’s Transfer Agent of that fact by the Person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and an indemnity bond in such amount as the Transfer Agent may direct, as collateral security against any claim that may be made with respect to the certificate, CTHE will cause to be issued in exchange for the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the applicable number of CTHE Shares.

(d) Conversion of Warrants. All warrants to purchase Company Shares issued and outstanding at the Closing will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of

CTHE, Company or the holders of the warrants, be converted into and will become warrants to purchase an equal number of CTHE Shares on the same terms.

(e) Conversion of Options. All options to purchase Company Shares outstanding at the Closing will, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of CTHE, Company or the holders of the options, be assumed by CTHE, and will become options to purchase an equal number of CTHE Shares on the same terms.

(f) Option Plan. At or prior to the Closing, CTHE will adopt a stock option plan in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, which will be substantially identical to the Company’s 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan with at least 3,900,000 CTHE Shares reserved for issuance thereunder.

As of the Closing of the Merger, the Company Shares and warrants and options to purchase same (collectively, “Company Securities”) will be deemed canceled and will cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Security will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, other than those expressly set forth in this Section 1.E(5).
