W I T N E S S E T H : WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of Acquisition Corp., Parent and the Company have each determined that it is fair to and in the best interests of their respective corporations and stockholders for Acquisition Corp. to be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger") upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Acquisition Corp. and the Board of Directors of the Company have approved the merger of Acquisition Corp. with and into the Company in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Certificate of Merger (the "Certificate of Merger") attached as Exhibit A hereto; and the Board of Directors of Parent also has approved this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger; WHEREAS, the requisite Stockholders (as such term is defined in Section 9 hereof) have approved by written consent pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Merger, and Parent, as the sole stockholder of Acquisition Corp., has approved this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Merger; WHEREAS, simultaneously with the Closing (as such term is defined herein), Parent (as it will exist as of the closing of the Merger) is selling shares of its common stock, par value $.0001 per share ("Parent Common Stock"), and detachable warrants to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock ("Parent Warrants"), in the first of two tranches of a private placement to accredited investors (the "Private Placement"), pursuant to the terms of a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated October 22, 2003, as supplemented by the First Supplement thereto, dated November 20, 2003 (the "Memorandum"), for the purpose of expanding the business of the Surviving Corporation following the Merger; and WHEREAS, in anticipation of the Merger and Private Placement, effective on December 8, 2003, the Company effected a 1.53846-for-1 reverse stock split as to all the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (as such term is defined herein). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. The Merger. 1.1 Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger, Acquisition Corp. shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL. At the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), the separate legal existence of Acquisition Corp. shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving Corporation") and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name "DOBI Medical Systems, Inc." 1.2 Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective on the date and at the time the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL. The time at which the Merger shall become effective as aforesaid is referred to hereinafter as the "Effective Time," and the filing of the Certificate of Merger as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 1.2 shall occur concurrently with the release of the proceeds from the initial tranche of the Private Placement to the Company. 1.3 Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, Directors and Officers. (a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, attached as Exhibit B hereto, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time until further amended in accordance with applicable law. (b) The By-laws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, attached as Exhibit C hereto, shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time until amended in accordance with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation and such By-laws. (c) The directors, officers and key employees listed in Exhibit D hereto shall be the directors, officers and key employees of the Surviving Corporation, and each shall hold his respective office or offices from and after the Effective Time until his successor shall have been elected and shall have qualified in accordance with applicable law, or as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. 1.4 Assets and Liabilities. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of a public as well as of a private nature, and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the constituent corporations; and all the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the constituent corporations, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to any of the constituent corporations on whatever account, as well for stock subscriptions as all other things in action or belonging to each of the constituent corporations, shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation; and all property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises, and all and every other interest shall be thereafter as effectively the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were of the several and respective constituent corporations, and the title to any real estate vested by deed or otherwise in any of such constituent corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired by the Merger; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of any of the 2 constituent corporations shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the respective constituent corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it. 1.5 Manner and Basis of Converting Shares. (a) At the Effective Time: (i) each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Acquisition Corp. that shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive ten (10) shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, so that at the Effective Time, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation; (ii) (A) the shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock"), and Class A 4% Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the "Class A Preferred Stock"), which shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, and (B) the shares of Company Common Stock into which the Company's Series 1 Convertible 8% Promissory Notes (the "Series 1 Notes") and Series 2 Subordinated Convertible 12% Promissory Notes (the "Series 2 Notes") may be converted (the Company Common Stock, Class A Preferred Stock and the shares of Company Common Stock into which the Series 1 Notes and the Series 2 Notes may be converted being referred to herein collectively as the "Company Stock"), beneficially owned by the Stockholders listed in Schedule 2.5 (other than shares of Company Stock as to which appraisal rights are perfected pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and not withdrawn or otherwise forfeited), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 for each of the Stockholders; and (iii) each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled in the Merger and cease to exist. (b) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. (c) At the Effective Time, all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock not theretofore converted into shares of Company Common Stock shall, without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Class A Preferred Stock, be converted into that number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive in the Merger had such holder converted its shares of Class A Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall (x) obtain the consent from the 3 holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock to the amendment of that portion of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation governing the rights and preferences of the Class A Preferred Stock to provide for the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock directly into Parent Common Stock at the Effective Time, all in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.5(c). 1.6 Surrender and Exchange of Certificates. Promptly after the Effective Time and upon (i) surrender of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) delivery of a Letter of Transmittal (as described in Section 4 hereof), Parent shall issue to the record holder of the Company Stock surrendering such certificate or certificates and Letter of Transmittal, a certificate or certificates registered in the name of such Stockholder representing the number of shares of Parent Stock that such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive as set forth in Section 1.5(a)(ii) hereof. Until the certificate or certificates are surrendered together with the Letter of Transmittal as contemplated by this Section 1.6 and Section 4 hereof, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed at and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender as aforesaid the Parent Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 hereof for the holder thereof or to perfect any rights of appraisal which such holder may have pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL. 1.7 Stock Options and Warrants. (a) At the Effective Time, the terms of each outstanding employee stock option granted by the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a "Company Stock Option") under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan of the Company (the "Company Incentive Plan"), whether vested or unvested, shall be amended by action of the Board of Directors of the Company to provide that, at the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to constitute and shall become an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Stock Option, the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock (the "Parent Stock Options") as the holder of such Company Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such Company Stock Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time, at a price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Company Stock Option divided by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant to such Company Stock Option; provided, however, that, after aggregating all the shares of a holder subject to Company Stock Options, any fractional share of Parent Common Stock resulting from such calculation for such holder shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share; and provided, further, that in the case of any stock option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under any of Sections 422 through 424 of the Code ("incentive stock options"), the option price, the number of shares purchasable pursuant to such option, and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Section 424 of the Code. Schedule 1.7(a) attached hereto sets forth the name of each holder of Company Stock Options, the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock which each such person may purchase pursuant to his or her 4 Company Stock Options and the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock which each such person may purchase pursuant to the operation of this Section 1.7(a). In connection with the implementation of this Section 1.7(a), prior to the Closing, the Board of Directors of the Company has, pursuant to authority granted to it under the Company Incentive Plan, adopted a resolution modifying the terms and conditions of the Company Stock Options to provide that, following the Effective Time, such options shall be exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.7(a). In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent agrees to assume at the Effective Time all the obligations of the Company under the Company Incentive Plan, including, without limitation, the outstanding Company Stock Options and the obligation to issue the number of shares of Parent Common Stock set forth on Schedule 1.7(a) upon the exercise of the Company Stock Options. (b) (i) At the Effective Time, pursuant to consents from the requisite percentage of holders thereof obtained by the Company prior to the Closing, all outstanding warrants issued by the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock which are not Series 1 Warrants (the "Company Warrants"), will either be exchanged for, converted into or amended to provide that, at the Effective Time, each Company Warrant so exchanged, converted or amended shall become, in each case, a warrant to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as warrants issued by the Company in the Private Placement, at a price equal to $1.54 per share of Parent Common Stock (the "Parent Warrants"). Schedule 1.7(b)(i) attached hereto sets forth the name of each holder of Company Warrants, the type of Company Warrant held by such holder, the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock which each such person may purchase pursuant to the exercise of his or her Company Warrants and the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock which each such person may purchase upon exercise of Parent Warrants acquired upon such exchange, conversion or amendment. By its signature hereunder, Parent expressly assumes (a) the obligation to deliver Parent Warrants at the Effective Time to the holders of Company Warrants who have exchanged their Company Warrants for Parent Warrants and (b) the obligation to issue Parent Common Stock to the holders of Parent Warrants, all in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.7(b)(i). (ii) Promptly following the Effective Time, the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that each outstanding Series 1 Warrant issued by the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exchanged for a warrant to acquire that number of Parent Warrants which is equal to the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock as the holder of such Series 1 Warrant would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such Series 1 Warrant in full immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Company represents and warrants that it has received, prior to the Effective Time, written consents from four holders of Series 1 Warrants to an exchange of such Series 1 Warrants for Parent Warrants. Schedule 1.7(b)(ii) attached hereto sets forth the name of each holder of Series 1 Warrants, the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock which each such person may purchase pursuant to the exercise of such Person's Series 1 Warrants and the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock which each such Person may purchase upon exercise of Parent Warrants acquired upon such exchange. By its signature hereunder, Parent expressly assumes (a) the obligation to deliver Parent Warrants at the Effective Time to the holders of Series 1 Warrants who have exchanged their Series 1 Warrants for Parent Warrants and (b) the obligation to issue 5 Parent Common Stock to the holders of Parent Warrants, all in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.7(b)(ii). (iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall take all corporate actions as may be necessary and desirable in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.7(b). (c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the holders of: (i) Company Stock Options appropriate notices setting forth such holders' rights pursuant to the Company Incentive Plan and the agreements evidencing the grants of such Company Stock Options and that such Company Stock Options and agreements shall be assumed by Parent and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 1.7 after giving effect to the Merger); and (ii) Company Warrants new warrant agreements and/or warrants evidencing such holders' rights to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock upon the exercise of the Parent Warrants. (d) Parent shall take all action necessary and appropriate, on or prior to the Effective Time, to authorize and reserve a number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient for issuance upon the exercise of Parent Stock Options and Parent Warrants following the Effective Time as contemplated by this Section 1.7. (e) Other than the Company Stock Options and the Company Warrants, all options, warrants and rights to purchase Company Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date will be exercised or terminated prior to or effective upon the Effective Time, and neither Parent nor Acquisition Corp. shall assume or have any obligation with respect to such options, warrants or rights. 1.8 Unconverted Series 1 Notes. In the event that any holder of Series 1 Notes shall decline to convert such notes into Parent Common Stock at the Effective Time, then the Series 1 Notes shall remain outstanding debt obligations of the Surviving Corporation following the Closing. 1.9 Parent Common Stock. Parent agrees that it will cause the Parent Common Stock into which the Company Stock is converted at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(ii) to be available for such purpose. Parent further covenants that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, there will be 8,461,538 shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding, not including the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Private Placement. 1.10 Further Assurances. From time to time, from and after the Effective Time, as and when requested by Parent, Acquisition Corp. or their respective successors or assigns, the proper officers and directors of the Company as of the Effective Time shall, for and on behalf and in the name of the Company or otherwise, shall execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and other instruments and shall take or cause to be taken such further actions as Parent, Acquisition Corp. or their respective successors or assigns may deem necessary or desirable in order to confirm or record or otherwise transfer to the Surviving Corporation title to and possession of all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers, franchises and immunities of 6 the Company or otherwise to carry out fully the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger. 2.

The Company is duly qualified to conduct business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction wherein the nature of its activities or its properties owned or leased makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the properties, assets, liabilities or results of operations of the Company taken as a whole ("Material Adverse Effect"). Schedule 2.2 sets forth a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company is so qualified to conduct business. 2.3 Capitalization of Company. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 70,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 2,500,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock, and the Company has no authority to issue any other capital stock.

The Company is not in violation of, or (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) in default under, any term or provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or any indenture, loan or credit agreement, deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its properties is bound or affected. 8 2.8 Binding Obligations.
