This Plan is intended to deal with all claims against the Debtor of whatever character, whether or not contingent or liquidated, and whether or not allowed by the Court pursuant to Section 502(h) of the Code.

The retained property shall be used and employed by the Debtor in the continuance of its business. (Further details concerning the nature and scope of the Debtor’s future business operations may be found in the Disclosure Statement which accompanies the Plan.)
5.2 Raising Additional Capital: The Plan may be implemented by current management and/or new Participating Investors making capital contributions in the Reorganized Debtor if required.

- 14 -
5.5 Reverse Stock Split: At the time of filing, outstanding shares in the Debtor total approximately 110,000,000. Current outstanding shares in the Debtor will undergo a 1 for 10 Reverse Stock Split, which will bring the amount of outstanding shares to approximately 11,000,000. As part of the Plan, CDEX will implement the 1 for 10 Reverse Stock Split of the Old CDEX Common Stock, such that each 10 shares shall, following the Reverse Stock Split (and subject to adjustment for fractional entitlements), be consolidated into one (1) share of New Common Stock.The aggregate fractional share interests of each holder of Old CDEX Common Stock shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. On the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Reorganized Debtor expects to apply to have the New Common Stock listed on the Over the Counter Stock Exchange (“OTC”) or, if Reorganized Debtor is unable to have the New Common Stock listed on the OTC, other national securities exchange. All existing warrants to purchase shares of Old CDEX Common Stock will be extinguished upon consummation of the Plan. This action will allow Debtor to raise new capital to complete product development and consummate sales to hospitals and other interested prospective clients.
5.6 Cancellation of Existing Securities and Agreements: On the Effective Date, (I) all 10% Convertible Notes, and any other notes, bonds, indentures or other instruments or documents evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligations of the Debtor shall be cancelled, and (ii) the obligations of the Debtor under any agreements, indentures, or certificates of designation governing the Old Common Stock and the 10% Convertible Notes, and any other notes, bonds, indentures or other instruments or documents evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligations of, or Old Common Stock in, the Debtors, shall be discharged.

5.7 Issuance of New Common Stock: On or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor will issue and deliver, in accordance with the provisions hereof, approximately 51,000,000 shares of New Common Stock to those Entities entitled to receive it under this Plan. The Debtor believes it is an integral and essential element of the Plan that the issuance of the New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(2) as it is not in connection with a public offering. The Order will include a finding and conclusion, binding all parties to the Case, the Debtor, and the Reorganized Debtor, but expressly excluding the Securities and Exchange Commission and all federal, state, and local regulatory agencies, to the effect that such offer and issuance fall within the exemption(s) from registration under the Securities Act and any state or local law pursuant to said section. To date, the DIP Lenders and Pre-Petition Lenders have not entered into any agreements or reached any understandings with any party other than the Agent, DIP Lender and/or Pre-Petition Lender with regard to the transfer or other disposition of the New Common Stock that they will receive under this Plan.

Those creditors should contact their own legal counsel on the transferability of their shares.

Closing of the Case
At such time as the case has been fully administered, that is, when all things requiring action by the Court have been done, and the Plan has been substantially consummated, this case shall be closed. To close the case the Debtor shall file an application for final decree showing that the case has been fully administered and that he Plan has been substantially consummated.

In the period after confirmation but before closing of the case, the Debtor may continue to avail itself of the services of professional persons whose employment was approved at or prior to confirmation in completing administration of the case and in the consummation and performance of the Plan, and, if necessary, with approval of the Court employ additional professional persons to render services in and in connection with this case. With respect to services rendered and expenses incurred in or in connection with the case by any professional person during such period, the professional person may render periodic billings therefore to the Debtor which shall promptly pay the same, but each such payment shall be subject to review and approval by the Court as to reasonableness thereof, as set forth herein below.

In its application for final decree, the Debtor shall detail all amounts paid during such period to professional persons as compensation for services rendered or reimbursement of expenses incurred, and with respect to which no prior allowance thereof has been made by the Court.

Confirmation of this Plan shall constitute a discharge of any debt that arose prior to confirmation and any debt of any kind specified in Bankruptcy Code Section 502(g), (h) and (I), other than those liabilities expressly to be assumed hereby by the Reorganized Debtor.
