ARTICLE III
MANNER OF CONVERTING SECURITIES

Subject to the provisions of this Article III, at and as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or TechniScan, or any of the shareholders of any of the foregoing, the outstanding securities of TechniScan and Merger Sub shall be converted as follows:
          (a) TechniScan Common Stock. Each share of TechniScan Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than TechniScan Dissenting Shares) shall, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, TechniScan or Merger Sub, cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Parent Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”).
          (b) TechniScan Options. Each option to purchase shares of TechniScan Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, TechniScan or Merger Sub, cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for an option to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the terms of a stock option plan which shall be adopted by the Board of Parent to be effective as of the Effective Time.
          (c) Merger Sub Shares. Each share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, TechniScan or Merger Sub, be converted into and represent the right to receive one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Surviving Entity.
          (d) Parent Common Stock. Each share of Parent Common Stock owned by TechniScan shall, at the Effective Time, be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
     3.2 Surrender and Exchange of TechniScan Securities. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to each record holder of TechniScan Common Stock a certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) registered in the name of such TechniScan shareholder representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled under this Article III. As of the Effective Time, each share of TechniScan Common Stock (other than TechniScan Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the consideration specified in this Article III, as applicable, for the TechniScan shareholder who is the holder thereof. Each TechniScan Dissenting Share shall be converted into the right to receive payment from the Surviving Entity with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of the Dissenter’s Act.

6


 

     3.3 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in TechniScan Common Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the TechniScan Common Stock, and upon such issuance, such shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. At the Effective Time, the transfer books of TechniScan shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Entity of the TechniScan Common Stock that were 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.

Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of any Acquired Entity’s business by the employees and independent contractors of such Acquired Entity, nor the conduct of such Acquired Entity’s business as now conducted, will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, written covenant or instrument under which any such employee or independent contractor is now obligated and of which any Acquired Entity has Knowledge.

     6.1 Tax-Free Reorganization. The Parties intend that each of Parent, Merger Sub and TechniScan shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby to qualify as one transaction governed by Section 368 of the Code and will not take any actions that would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to not so qualify.
