outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after
the Effective Time, the holders of TechniScan Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to
have any rights with respect to such interests, except as otherwise
provided for herein or by applicable Law.
3.4 No
Fractional Shares for Parent Common Stock . No fraction of a
share of Parent Common Stock (or evidence of such shares in
book-entry form) shall be issued upon the exchange of a share of
TechniScan Common Stock pursuant to this Article III ,
no dividends or other distributions of Parent shall relate to such
fractional share interests and such fractional share interests will
not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a
shareholder of Parent. Each holder of TechniScan Common Stock who
would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent
Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent
Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall
receive from Parent, in lieu of such fractional share, one share of
Parent Common Stock.
3.5 Dissenting
Shares . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, shares of TechniScan Common Stock which are issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are
held by TechniScan shareholders properly exercising
dissenter’s rights available under the Dissenter’s Act
(the “ TechniScan Dissenting Shares ”) shall be
converted into the right to receive payment from the Surviving
Entity with respect thereto and shall not be converted into or be
exchangeable for the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock
unless and until such holders shall have failed to perfect or shall
have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to payment under
the Dissenter’s Act. TechniScan Dissenting Shares shall be
treated in accordance with the Dissenter’s Act. If any such
holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively
withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal, such holder’s
TechniScan Common Stock shall thereupon be converted into and
become exchangeable only for the right to receive, as of the
Effective Time, shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with
the terms of this Article III . TechniScan shall give
Parent: (a) prompt notice of any written demands for payment
of any TechniScan Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such
demands and any other instruments, served pursuant to the
Dissenter’s Act and received by TechniScan relating to rights
to be paid the “fair value” of TechniScan Dissenting
Shares, as provided in the Dissenter’s Act; and (b) the
opportunity to participate in, and after the Closing, direct, all
negotiations and Proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal
under the Dissenter’s Act. TechniScan shall not, except with
the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make or agree to
make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisals of
TechniScan Common Stock. The Surviving Entity shall comply with all
notice requirements under the Dissenter’s Act.

December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related audited
consolidated statement of operations, statement of
stockholders’ equity, and statement of cash flows of
TechniScan for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
including all notes thereto, accompanied by the independent
auditor’s report thereon; and
(b) The
unaudited consolidated balance sheet (the “ Balance
Sheet ”) of TechniScan as of June 30, 2009 (the
“ Balance Sheet Date ”), and the related
unaudited consolidated statement of operations, statement of
stockholders’ equity, and statement of cash flows of

together with the notes thereto (if any) have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis throughout the
periods involved, except that the unaudited TechniScan Financial

TechniScan Financial Statements, together with the notes thereto
(if any) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
financial condition, results of operations and cash flow of the
Acquired Entities, as the case may be, as of the dates and for the
periods indicated therein, subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments, which shall not be material, in the case of unaudited
TechniScan Financial Statements. No event has occurred and nothing
has come to the attention of the Acquired Entities to indicate that
the TechniScan Financial Statements did not fairly present in any
material respect the consolidated financial condition, results of
operations and cash flow of the Acquired Entities, as the case may
be, as of the dates and for the periods indicated therein. The
Acquired Entities do not have any liabilities of any nature,
whether accrued or fixed, absolute or contingent, matured or

reserved for or disclosed in the TechniScan Financial Statements;
(b) debts, liabilities or obligations incurred in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practices since the Balance

or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted
in or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect on TechniScan; and (b) the Acquired Entities have
conducted their business only in the ordinary course consistent
with past practices. No Acquired Entity has taken any steps to seek
protection pursuant to any bankruptcy Law nor does any Acquired
Entity have any Knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors
intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy Proceedings or of any
fact that would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. The Acquired
Entities, taken as a whole, are not Insolvent, nor will the
Acquired Entities, taken as a whole, be Insolvent after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the
