who shall serve as officers of Trist and the Surviving Corporation subject to the applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Trist or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, in each case, until their respective successors shall have been duly appointed or until otherwise provided by law.

2.8 Effect on Capital Stock of MergerCo. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of MergerCo Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.9 Effect on Capital Stock of Z&Z. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof:

2.9.1 Aggregate Consideration to be Received by Z&Z Stockholders. The aggregate merger consideration, which shall include (a) the shares to be issued at the Effective Time to Z&Z Stockholders (the “Merger Consideration Shares”) plus (b) the number of shares to be reserved for issuance by Trist upon the exercise of any Assumed Options and Warrants (the “Merger Consideration Reserved Shares”), will be that number of fully paid, nonassessable shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock constituting the Merger Consideration. To the extent necessary, the Parties shall make appropriate adjustment to the Exchange Ratio to ensure that the sum of the Merger Consideration Shares and Merger Consideration Reserved Shares shall be equal to the Merger Consideration.

2.9.2 Conversion of Z&Z Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Z&Z Common Stock (other than shares of Z&Z Common Stock, if any, that are held by Trist or MergerCo) shall be converted into the right to receive that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, subject in all respects to Section 2.9.1.

2.9.3 Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Shares Held by Trist. Any and all shares of Z&Z Common Stock owned by Trist or MergerCo or held in the treasury of Z&Z shall be cancelled and cease to exist at the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto.

2.9.4 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. If the number of shares a holder of Z&Z Common Stock holds immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by the applicable exchange ratio would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock, that product will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock if it is less than the fraction of one-half of one (0.5) share of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock or rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock if the said product is equal to or greater than the fraction of one-half of one (0.5) share of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock.

2.9.5 Cancellation and Retirement of Z&Z Common Stock. As of the Effective Time, all shares of Z&Z Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Z&Z Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration per share upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.10, without any interest thereon, subject to any applicable withholding tax.

2.9.6 Stock Options and Warrants. At the Effective Time, all options to purchase shares of Z&Z Common Stock then outstanding and all warrants to purchase shares of Z&Z Common Stock, in each case whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Trist or replaced with Trist options and warrants on substantially identical terms (each an “Assumed Option” or “Assumed Warrant” and together, each an “Assumed Option and Warrant”) in accordance with this Section 2.9.6, provided that options and warrants to purchase shares of Z&Z Common Stock will be exercisable into shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio applicable thereto. Each Assumed Option and Warrant will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options and warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting on certain transactions), except that (i) each Assumed Option and Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Z&Z Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Z&Z option or warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Assumed Option and Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Z&Z Common Stock at which such Z&Z option or warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio.

2.10 Exchange of Certificates.

2.10.1 Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Trist shall deliver to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which, immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Z&Z Common Stock (the “Certificates”) whose shares are converted pursuant to Section 2.9 into the right to receive Merger Consideration: (i) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to Trist or its designated agent and shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as Trist may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration allocable to the Z&Z Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

2.10.2 Merger Share Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to Trist, or to any agent or agents as may be appointed by Trist, together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and executed in accordance with its terms and such other documents as Trist or its agent or agents shall determine, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, a certificate (“Merger Share Certificate”) representing the number of shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9 and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If any certificate for such Trist Super-Voting Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate for Z&Z Common Stock surrendered for exchange is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed, with signature guaranteed, or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to Trist or its transfer agent any transfer or other taxes or other costs required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such Trist Super-Voting Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or establish to the satisfaction of Trist or its transfer agent that all taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.10.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.9.

2.10.3 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Trist, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Trist may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, Trist shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration due to such Person as provided in Section 2.9.

2.10.4 Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Trist Super-Voting Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate for Z&Z Common Stock with respect to the shares of Trist Super-Voting Common Stock, the right to receive which is represented thereby, until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.10.

2.10.5 No Further Ownership Rights in Z&Z Common Stock. All shares of Trist Common Stock issued upon the surrender of the Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Section 2, shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Z&Z Common Stock theretofore represented by such certificates.

2.10.6 No Liability. None of the Parties shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Trist Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any certificates representing Z&Z Common Stock shall not have been surrendered prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing, any such shares, dividends or distributions in respect of such certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Trist, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

EXHIBIT A-1

Capital Raise Terms

In connection with the Closing of the Merger, Trist will consummate the Capital Raise, consisting of a private placement of its Senior Convertible Notes (as defined herein) to be sold to KOM and Woodman (or their affiliates or assigns) with gross proceeds of $1,500,000. The proceeds of the Capital Raise, subject to offset as described in Section 6.11 of the Agreement (as adjusted, the “Escrow Amount”), shall be paid into an escrow account maintained by an escrow agent mutually agreed upon by Woodman and Z&Z prior to the Closing, subject to an escrow agreement to be negotiated among the parties. The “Senior Convertible Notes” will (i) be secured on a senior first priority basis by all of the assets of Trist and Z&Z, (ii) initially be convertible at the election of the holders thereof into a number of shares of Trist Common Stock (the “KOM Convertible Shares”) such that the KOM Convertible Shares will initially represent at the Closing of the Capital Raise, in the aggregate, 10.5% of the outstanding capital stock, on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, of Trist, (iii) accrue interest at a rate of 2.5% per year, compounded annually, payable in cash or Trist Common Stock, at the election of the holder thereof, on the earlier of the date that the applicable Senior Convertible Notes are converted and the Maturity Date, and (iv) otherwise mature on the fourth anniversary of the closing of the Capital Raise (if not converted earlier) (the “Maturity Date”). In connection with the Capital Raise, the purchasers will also receive warrants to purchase a number of shares of Trist Common Stock equal to 50% of the amount of shares initially issuable upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Notes, with an exercise price equal to the conversion price.

b.	The Capital Raise transaction documents will provide that KOM and Woodman, or their assignees will provide additional debt financing to Trist following the closing of the Capital Raise, on the following terms and conditions:

If, during the twelve (12) month period following the closing of the Capital Raise, Z&Z obtains (A) a favorable ruling, determination or other correspondence from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (or any foreign equivalent) with respect to any of its existing patent applications, and (B) a favorable “freedom to operate” legal opinion from a law firm reasonably acceptable to Woodman, and (C) a favorable result from its next phase of animal testing (collectively, the “Favorable Determination Milestones”), in each case, all as determined in the sole discretion of Woodman, then, following the completion of all of the Favorable Determination Milestones, Trist will have the right, but not the obligation, to cause Woodman to provide additional debt financing to Trist on the same terms and conditions as the Capital Raise (excluding any warrant coverage), in an amount equal to $1,500,000 (the “Additional Funding Amount”) to be paid following Woodman’s written confirmation of its acceptance of all of the Favorable Determination Milestones. Within thirty (30) days following the completion of all of the proposed Favorable Determination Milestones, Trist will have the right to request in writing (the “Favorable Milestone Notice”) the Additional Funding Amount. If Woodman determines, in its sole discretion, that all of the Favorable Determination Milestones have been achieved, then Woodman (or its affiliates/assigns) will fund the Additional Funding Amount within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the Favorable Milestone Notice. For clarity, if Woodman determines, in its sole discretion, that all of the Favorable Determination Milestones have not been achieved, then Woodman will provide notice thereof and will thereafter have no obligation to fund the Additional Funding Amount.

ii.

If, for the twelve (12) month period following the closing of the Capital Raise, Z&Z fails to obtain all of the Favorable Determination Milestones (whether directly or as a result of the determinations of Woodman that all of such Favorable Determination Milestones have not been achieved), then the rights of Trist set forth in Section b.i. above shall expire, provided, however, that Woodman (or its affiliates/assigns) shall have the right, but not the obligation, during the two (2) month period following the twelve (12) month anniversary of the closing of the Capital Raise, to cause Trist to accept additional debt financing on the same terms and conditions as the Capital Raise (excluding any warrant coverage, and except that the valuation of Z&Z and Trist in such additional debt financing shall be 1.25 times the valuation of Z&Z and Trist at the closing of the Capital Raise), in an amount up to the Additional Funding Amount. The parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to consummate such additional debt financing within sixty (60) days following the delivery by Woodman of notice of its desire to provide such financing.

The Senior Convertible Notes (and related warrants), and any and all additional notes to be issued as contemplated hereunder, will contain customary anti-dilution and registration rights to be negotiated by the parties. The Capital Raise transaction documents will include, at a minimum, a Securities Purchase Agreement, Promissory Note, an accompanying Security Agreement, Warrant, and Registration Rights Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, no portion of the provisions of Section b. above shall in any way limit the ability of Trist to seek and obtain, subject to the provisions of the Capital Raise transaction documents, additional debt or equity financing following the closing of the Capital Raise from parties other than Woodman.

EXHIBIT A-2

Form of Securities Purchase Agreement

Trist Reorganization Terms

The terms of the Trist Reorganization shall be:

(i)

All outstanding liabilities of Trist to Europa and Woodman as disclosed in Trist’s public filings (the “Outstanding Debt”) shall be designated to be repaid in part pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Agreement and the remainder of the Outstanding Debt shall be converted into 21,674,067 shares of Trist Common Stock.

(ii)	Trist shall file a Certificate of Designations to its Certificate of Incorporation to designate the Trist Super-Voting Common Stock in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 to the Agreement.

(iii)

If approved by Z&Z and Trist, Trist shall complete a short form merger solely to change Trist’s corporate name to “Atherocare, Inc.” or such other name as shall be approved by Z&Z and Trist.

The capital structure of Trist resulting from the consummation of the Trist Reorganization (but not taking into account the Merger or the Capital Raise) is reflected on Exhibit B-3 to the Agreement.
